85.“What did you just say? Are you trying to tell me that you left me and asked Selene to be your prom date? Why?” Matilda asked. She was in pain. How could he do something like this to her? She thought they had something going on. Yes, she was aware Selene had been taking his attention these days, but she didn't know he would go as far as making her his date.Dominic shrugged. “Because Selene is the one I like.” He answered and she frowned.“What about me, Dominic? Whose date am I going to be now?” She asked.“I am sure there are plenty of guys without dates, who would love to have you as their date.”“I don't want them. It's you I want!” She snapped but he shook his head. “I seriously have no idea what you see in Selene. She is just an ordinary girl that no one knows where she even comes from. Is that the kind of person you want?” She asked.Dominic smiled. “That's the reason why I like her, Matilda. I love her because she is ordinary and she makes mistakes. She isn't perfect.” He d
86.Selene had just finished her meditation and sat on the chair in her room with her legs crossed. She had a frown on her face. She had done that meditation to see whether her powers were really gone and so far, she saw that she was weaker than when she was in the realm. She hated that.She facepalmed and rolled a magical ball in her hand as she thought of all that has been happening lately. The sound of her doorbell disrupted her thoughts and she stood to her feet, wondering who had come to visit her by this time.She left her room for the living room and peeped through the keyhole. It was Dominic. She opened the door and he smiled at her.“Hey! I bought food!” He exclaimed and showed her the package.“Hi, come in,” She forced a smile. She wasn't actually in the mood to see anyone right now but for him she can make an exception. Besides, she just realized she didn't even cook and hadn't eaten anything.Dominic walked in and dropped the food on the table. He opened up the package and
87.**8 DAYS TO THE FULL MOON**……Selene sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. It was finally the day of prom, and heck was she nervous. Artemis had come to help her get dressed, and should I say the goddess literally transformed her.She wore a strapless, floor-length gown in a rich, forest green color. The gown was made of satin and had a sweetheart neckline with a corseted bodice. It was figure-hugging, but not too tight, and it had a subtle train that swept the floor. On her feet, she wore delicate, crystal-encrusted heels that gave her an extra bit of height. Artemis styled her hair in loose, romantic waves that cascaded down her back. She had left some tendrils loose to frame her face, and she had added a few tiny braids to add some texture and interest. Her makeup was kept simple and natural, with a light foundation, rosy blush, and a soft pink lip. But her eyes were the real focus, with smoky eyeshadow and fluttering lashes. As she looked at her reflection, she fel
88.Damon stretched his hand for a handshake but Dominic yanked it away.“Didn't I warn you not to come close to her? I told you she is taken.” Dominic frowned.“Yeah, I got your point. This is just a friendly handshake, nothing more.”“There should be nothing more.” He held Selene's hand and took her away from there as the music resumed. Damon smirked. This was easier than he thought. Soon, everything would fall into place, and he would be allowed to rain down the destructions he desperately wanted.“Selene!” Naya screamed as she rushed to Selene, engulfing her in a big hug.“Oh, Naya,” Selene hugged her back.They pulled away from the hug and Naya couldn't help but gush at how beautiful she looked. “Gosh, you look amazing. Who did your makeup?” She asked.“A friend of mine.” Selene replied with a smile.“Gosh, she must have the hands of a goddess. Everything is done perfectly. I wish to meet this friend of yours one day. She must do my makeup as well. When do I get to meet her?” Na
89.Selene expected this, but now that it was happening, she couldn't believe her eyes and ears. She shook her head, taking a step back.“No, Dominic. You can't love me.” She continued to shake her head.“I can, Selene. I know I wasn't good to you from the beginning. I know I hurt you sometimes, and it was because I couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that I loved you. I thought it was just a phase, but I was wrong. I love you so much. Give me a chance to show you just how much I love you, Selene.” He tried to touch her, but she moved back.“We can't work out, Dominic. I'm not the one for you. I'll end up leaving you, please don't love me.” She pleaded with him.Dominic had no idea what she meant. He felt she was just being insecure since he confessed out of the blue. “Selene,” He called. “You're my mate. The moon goddess gave you to me, and I love you. I don't care what others have to say, I don't care what other people think, you're the one I want. You're the one my heart year
90.THE UNDERWORLDDamon appeared and clicked his tongue as he walked to Hades throne. As he walked by, the demons bowed to him. He was also a respected force in the underworld and was like a second in command to Hades. Hades usually sent him on the most difficult missions.He was a ruthless demon with no remorse for life. We could say he was a playboy as well. He toyed with goddesses and demons, and often got away with it. He wasn't a demon of seduction for nothing.“You're back.” Hades smiled as soon as he saw Damon.Damon bowed. “Yes, I am. I couldn't stand their chit and chatter and had to come here,” He scrunched up his face in disgust and Hades chuckled.Just then, Ares appeared.“You came just in time, Ares.” Hades smiled.“Today is prom. I need to know if that bastard confessed his love to the goddess.” Ares sighed and rubbed his forehead.Damon smiled. “Yes, he did,” “What about Selene? What was her reaction?” Ares asked.“At first, she didn't seem to accept it, but after a
91.After the drink at Selene's place, Naya headed home immediately and was shocked to see her mother awake, waiting for her.“Mother, why are you still up by this time?” She asked.Queen Bree scoffed and glared at her. “You're asking why I am still up? Look at the time you're coming home, princess!” She snapped, emphasizing on the word 'princess'.Naya bowed her head apologetically. “I'm sorry, mother. After the party, I went to Selene's place before coming here.”“Oh really? And you think it's befitting for a princess to stay out that late? What is your problem, Naya? Why are you bent on causing trouble for me?” She sighed and facepalmed.“I'm sorry, mother. It won't happen again.”“Of course it's not going to happen again because you're getting engaged to Prince Leonard in two days!” Her mother snapped and she gasped.“What? Two days? Engagement?” She couldn't believe what her mother just said. Their initial plan was for her to finish her studies at the Academy before the engagement
92.Next day…[7 days to the moon full moon]……Dominic rushed into the classroom and met Naya, seated with her head hung low. He walked to where she sat down and took a seat facing her. Naya looked up and smiled on seeing him.“Hi, Dominic, good morning. If you are here for Selene, she hasn't come to school yet.”“No, I wanted to see you, Naya,” He said, and she dropped the card she was holding.“You want to see me?” She pointed at herself and he nodded. “What about?”Dominic rubbed the back of his head. “By chance, do you know about any restaurant that's good for a couple's date?” He asked and she smiled.“Are you planning on taking Selene out for a date?” She asked.He sighed. “Yes. It's our first date as couples.”Naya nodded. “I do have a list of good restaurants that will be perfect for your date with Selene. I may not go out much, but I can tell you three places that serve the best, but you'd have to make a reservation.” She smiled.“Sure, tell me,” She gave him the names of t
139.With a sudden burst of speed, Dominic lunged forward, his claws extended and his fangs bared. Alpha Draco reacted quickly, parrying the attack with his sword and countering with a swift thrust of the blade.Dominic twisted to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack, and launched another assault, his claws raking at Alpha Draco's arm. The old man cried out in pain, but he refused to back down.The two were locked in a fierce battle, the sound of their weapons clashing echoing through the trees.As the battle raged on, both Dominic and Alpha Draco began to tire, their attacks becoming slower and less precise.Dominic, sensing that his opponent was weakening, lunged forward, his claws aiming for Alpha Draco's throat. But the old man was not as helpless as he seemed.With a grunt of effort, Alpha Draco brought his sword down, severing Dominic's arm at the elbow. The young wolf howled in pain, stumbling backwards and clutching at the wound.Blood dripped onto the forest floor, staining
138.As per Selene's instructions, Artemis and Aphrodite were able to unite the remaining gods, who didn't get manipulated by Ares. Hermes, Hephaestus, Athena and Dionysus.They had their plan already drafted out but some of the gods wasn't sure it was going to work."Aren't we putting everybody in danger by doing this?" Athena asked.Selene sighed. "People are already in danger, Athena. The sky is black, Ares takeover has begun and we can't let him finish it. If we don't stop him today, everyone will get hurt. We will all become his slave.""I have zero interest in being any body's slave, thank you." Dionysus said with his legs crossed.Hephaestus came with a sword and gave it to Selene. "This is the godkiller sword you asked me to make," he said. "Make sure you don't blow your chances. It's not that easy to make."Selene took it and smiled. "Thank you so much."They heard the sound of thunder and rushed out. They looked up and their eyes widened.The sky above them burned with an a
137."Hurry! We have to get out of here!" Matilda yelled at the horseman who was carrying her and her father in the carriage. After Selene exposed them, she didn't wait to see whether Dominic would come for them or not.She rushed home and told her father everything. Now they were on the run because no doubt, Dominic will come for them soon to avenge the death of his father.Alpha Draco buried his face in his palms. "I never planned for all this to happen, Matilda. We were supposed to lure him into marrying you, kill him and his mother and take over the pack. How did everything go wrong?" he couldn't believe the plan he had plotted for more than twenty years crashed as soon as he reached the peak.Matilda seethed. "Bloody Selene! Bloody moon goddess!" she yelled. If Selene hadn't revealed herself as the moon goddess and caused all these rubbish, she would have had Dominic in her palms.After a few minutes of cursing and wishing her luck were different, she turned to face her father. "
136. “Selene is the moon goddess? How is Selene the moon goddess?!” Bryce exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock. Naya smiled, her gaze fixed on them. “Yes, she is. She finally made the decision.” Bryce stared in confusion. “Why didn’t you tell me all those times you came to visit me in my room?” Dominic asked. “I didn’t know how and I wasn’t ready to take my powers away from you either. Taking my powers meant I’d never see you again. I didn’t want that.” she replied. “But you’ve taken them. Does this mean we’d never see each other again?” he asked but she looked away. “Selene,” he held her. “I love you. Moon goddess or not, I love you, Selene. Please, don’t leave me.” Ian and the other demons disappeared when they saw that Selene had transformed. Their plan had failed. Selene got rid of the shield and brought them back to the floor. “I’m sorry, Dominic. It’s what has to be done to bring stability back to the mortal world and the spiritual realm.” Dominic shook his head fr
135. Selene facepalmed. What the heck was wrong with Matilda? “I tried searching for you but your pack didn’t exist. What’s going on? Did I miss something?” he asked and Selene shook her head. “No. You didn’t. The pack was made up by me.” she lowered her head, it was now or never. Before Dominic could respond, Matilda beat him to it. “See! I told you! Oh and she has strange powers too, don’t you Selene?” she asked and Selene took in her bottom lip. “Dominic. Let’s just talk privately. I promise to tell you everything.” Selene tried to touch him but Matilda blocked her path. It annoyed Selene who was trying to put up with her. “What is your problem?!” she snapped. Matilda scoffed. “My problem is that you’re a cruel liar! You’re planning to manipulate Dominic into believing you but I won’t allow that. Do you have powers or not?” she yelled. “Yes, I do, what’s the big deal?” Selene yelled back. Students had already gathered and couldn’t believe what was happening. The sky was dark
134. After Selene convinced the girls and they left, she took a deep breath and crossed her legs again as she tried to gather her energy. She had no time and she knew she had to make the ultimate sacrifice, and that was to take her powers away from Dominic once and for all. If she had done that, all these wouldn’t have happened. She blamed herself for the chaos Ares was about to release in the werewolf world, and she knew she had to make things right - even if it meant losing the love of her life. She had chosen love over her duty and she was paying the price right now. She wouldn’t say she regretted it - she cherished every moment - but her regret was getting addicted to it. She should have left when she had the chance, now the world is in danger because of her. Selene sighed. At least she had something to do about it. All she had to do was meditate and regain her strength. Right now, she looked like a mess and couldn’t even recognize herself. Selene's eyelids fluttered close
133. Selene took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill her lungs. The scent of blooming flowers and fresh earth enveloped her, a welcome change from the stagnant air of the time loop. She looked around, taking in her surroundings. The familiar landscape of the world she has come to love unfolded before her – the towering trees, the shimmering lake, and the majestic palace in the distance. But something felt off. The air was thick with an eerie silence. The trees seemed to loom over her, their branches like skeletal fingers reaching for the sky. Selene's senses tingled, her moon goddess instincts on high alert. Ares's influence. She could feel it, a dark energy spreading like a stain across the land. Selene's determination hardened. She had to stop Ares, no matter the cost. With a swift motion, she summoned her powers. The moon responded, its light bursting forth in a radiant beam. Selene's eyes gleamed with resolve. “I will not let you take over, Ares. I know you can hear me
132. “The takeover will begin tomorrow. I already have all the powers in my grasp. And Zeus being in meditation made it even easier.” Ares chuckled as he spoke with Hades. Hades laughed hysterically. “You know, I might have underestimated you a little bit. You turned the gods and goddesses against the moon goddess and captured her. Now you want to take over her world. You’re smart, I give you that.” Ares smiled, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Elementary, my dear Hades. Divide and conquer. The moon goddess's isolation made her vulnerable. Now, with her out of the way, nothing stands between me and the throne." Hades nodded, his dark eyes sparkling with intrigue. "And what of the other gods and goddesses? Will they not suspect your hand in this?" Ares waved his hand dismissively. "They're too busy fighting each other, thanks to my subtle manipulations. By the time they realize what's happening, I'll be the one holding the reins." Hades chuckled, his deep voice rumbling. "You've c
131. Apollo reappeared in Selene's house with the girls and Artemis paced back and forth wearily. "We have to report this to Zeus. He is the only one who can save Selene. He's the only one who can bring us out from this mess." Apollo shook his head. "Zeus is currently meditating and you know how it works. We can't disturb him." Aphrodite stood to her feet. "What are we going to do then? Watch Ares have his way? He has already turned the people against the moon goddess. The world is slowing slipping into his palms. Zeus's meditations takes days and my patience is wearing thin. I can't wait that long." "Disrupting his meditation is as good as dying and you know the rules. I believe he is seeing everything that's happening and will be back to put Ares in his place." "By then, Ares would have taken over and gotten strong. Fuck all these!" Artemis snapped, raising her hands in the air. “Zeus can handle him. You don’t have to worry about that.” he tried to touch her but she yanked his
