69.Asher cleaned the blood from the side of his mouth. He was so annoyed that Dominic had come to ruin his plans.He threw a punch at Dominic, who blocked and kicked him in the groin, sending him to the floor immediately.Dominic grabbed him by the collar. “What did you do to Selene, you imbecile?” Dominic growled angrily.“What I was supposed to have done long time ago. Why are you always all over her? I just wanted to have fun with her tonight and here you are bursting out of nowhere and claiming she's your mate. Do you think I'd believe that?” Asher snickered.“And have you thought about what Selene would say when she finds out you wanted to use her?” Dominic slapped Asher hard across the face.Whenever he remembered the kiss, he wanted to tear Asher to shreds. He was so angry that his wolf was threatening to burst out and if care is not taken, might tear Asher to pieces.Selene didn't care about what was going on between them. All she wanted was someone to satisfy this need that h
70.Selene woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache. She felt someone move and turned to see Dominic lying beside her, his hands on her waist. She brought his hands down from her waist, wondering what he was doing in her place.Her head banged as she tried to remember all that happened last night. The last thing she could recall was having a drink with AsherShe stood from the bed, and discovered she was naked. With a gasp, she took a wrapper, covered her body and held her head as she walked to the water dispenser in her room.She got a cup and helped herself with water. The minute she took the water, and it went down her throat, everything rushed to her head at once. The memories of the previous night came to her, and she screamed, dropping the cup on the floor. It shattered to pieces immediately.Dominic sprung from the bed and rushed to meet her. “What's wrong? Tell me.”She pushed him away from herself. “You! What did you do to me?” She snapped at him.“What?” Dominic was
71.“Where the heck have you been, dude?” Bryce asked as Dominic stepped into the palace.“Long story.” He sighed and was about to rush to him.“Dominic,” He turned and saw his mother. When she saw that he looked fine, she heaved a deep sigh of relief. “Where did you go?” She asked, holding him. She was scared and worried about him. She was even about to rally up the guards to look for him before Bryce stopped them.“I was taking care of something.” He answered.“Doesn't that thing have a name?” She asked him, her eyes narrowing at him.“It does, but I can't tell you that. All that matters is that I'm back safe and sound.” He gave her cheek a peck and hurried up the stairs to his room. Bryce followed him immediately.Queen Bathsheba sighed. His scent was mixed with that of a lady, and she wondered who he was with. She hoped he didn't go down with a lady, but she knew he wasn't someone like that and if he should lose control and something of the sort happened, she knew it was going to
72.She had a displeased look on her face as she stared down at Asher, who was on his knees. All she wanted right now was to make him pay for his actions, but why was she finding it difficult to just…She sighed and folded her hands. “You're the son of a Mafia Alpha, Asher. I'm surprised you look so scared.” She began, the mockery evident in her tone.“I'm sorry, Moon goddess. It's just that you're a supreme being that needs to be honored.” He bowed his head.Selene scoffed. “I can be honored but a woman's body doesn't deserve honor, right?” She asked.“I don't know what you mean.” He answered sincerely.“Why don't you use a second to think back to what you've done, and then you can answer my question.” She took a step back and instantly, Asher realized she meant what he wanted to do to Selene. He realized the reason she came and shame caught him immediately. He had no idea he'd meet the moon goddess on such an occasion. He was so ashamed of himself.Tears welled up in his eyes. Couple
73.Selene followed Asher to the school garden and stood with her hands folded as she waited for what he had to say.Asher was so embarrassed that he couldn't even look into her eyes. Even the look she had on her face showed that she would kill him if provided the opportunity.Selene on the other hand would have loved to have him dead because what he did was a disrespect to her body, but being the moon goddess, she had a soft spot for her subject and she found it hard giving them a punishment like death.“Selene,” He called but she didn't answer him. He didn't even dare to ask why she didn't answer him, he knew too well. “I'm sorry.”Selene looked up at him, her face scrunched up in disgust. Even though she appeared to him and asked him to apologize, she was still disgusted with what he tried to do to her.“What are you sorry for?” She asked but Asher was finding it difficult to say. “Why are you quiet? I thought you are a pro at saying thimgs like that?” She folded her arms.Asher cl
74.Mr. Jones stared at Asher, surprise etched into his features. He had no idea where this was coming from. The Asher he knew wouldn't just walk into his office and calmly request to leave the school.He cleared his throat and adjusted in his seat. At first, he thought it was one of Asher's numerous pranks, but this was far from it because he looked serious. He sighed and looked at Asher, who had a plain expression on his face.“Why do you want to leave the school?” He asked and Asher scoffed.“Don't tell me you have no idea what has been going on in the school. Don't tell me you haven't heard what the students are saying and the latest news.” He looked at Mr. Jones with his hands folded. He wondered what kind of school head would have no idea about what was going on in the school he was supposed to look after.Mr. Jones sighed. Of course, he heard everything they said, but he knew Asher too well. Things like that didn't bother him, and he tended to overlook them, but why was this par
75.Asher turned and was surprised to see Selene. She rushed to him and stood in front of him. “You can't leave. It hasn't gotten to this.” She expressed and he sighed.First, he couldn't believe Selene ran after him to tell him not to leave, but then he had no choice but to get the fucking hell away from here. There was no need to stay in the school when all he would get was hatred from the students. He was someone who didn't feel shame or give two fucks about anyone, but this time around, he felt defeated.“I can't stay in the school anymore, Selene. There's no need to be here. I have nothing to offer but pain, so I'm leaving.”“That's not true. I know you made a mistake but you're not someone to run away just like that. You have to stay here and face it head on. Running away from your problems would only make you a coward.” She explained.“In this case, I'm a coward, Selene. I can't bear spending another minute here. I just want to leave and stay in my pack, where I wouldn't be remi
76.After the bell rang, signifying that school hours were over, Selene took her bag and without saying anything to anyone, left the school premises.Dominic rushed after her and held her hand. She turned to look at him, her gaze lingering on his face. The spark ignited, and she quickly slipped her hands away from him, giving him a questionable look.“Selene,” He called, but she did not answer him.She sighed and turned to leave again, but he quickly blocked her path. “Why are you avoiding me? It's not nice for you to avoid me this way.” He said, and she yanked her hands away from his.He wondered what might be wrong with her. First she was all over him, now she was angry at him. Why was she even angry? Was it because Asher left? Did she like Asher now? Different questions twirled in his head, and he was dying to get answers to them.Selene was silent for a while as she looked at Dominic. She knew her actions were baffling him, but she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now, es
142 ~ EPILOGUE A Few Weeks Later…The great hall of Mount Olympus was filled with a sense of joy and celebration as Zeus, addressed the gathering of immortals. "Today, we come together to mark a new era of understanding and cooperation between our divine selves and our friends, the werewolves. From this day forward, gods and goddesses will be permitted to mate with werewolves under the condition that they are chosen and fated mates."The hall erupted in cheers and applause, with many of the immortals standing to show their support.Zeus raised his hands to quiet the applause, his face beaming with pride. "I am proud to announce that the first such union will take place today between Selene, Goddess of the Moon, and Dominic, Alpha of the Golden Sword Pack. Their bond was given by the moon, and they have been chosen to be mates."Selene stepped forward, her eyes shining with love and gratitude. Beside her, Dominic stood tall and proud, his hand firmly entwined with Selene's."Thank yo
141.FINAL CHAPTER“Surrender the sword and relinquish your title, or watch your dear Dominic die by my hand.”Selene's eyes filled with tears as she looked between Dominic and Ares. Her heart was torn in two, her mind racing to find a way out. But she knew that there was no other way.What was she going to do?“Don’t listen to him, Selene,” Dominic said. “Do what you have to do to save the world and the people. Don’t worry about me. I have nothing to lose anymore. I have avenged my father’s death. I am finally free.”Tears rolled down Selene’s cheeks as she fell to her knees. She was so confused.Area scoffed. “Pathetic!” he stretched out his hand. “Hand over the sword… now!”Selene said nothing. She knelt there, her mind reeling with thoughts. “Moon,” she whispered. “What do I do? I love Dominic and I want to save everyone too. I can’t live without the other. Both have my heart so losing them would be losing myself as well,” she continued to whisper, her heart breaking with every wo
140."I didn't come to die," Selene said, her voice ringing with a clarity that surprised even her. "I came to end this. To end you."Ares laughed, a dark and chilling sound that sent a shiver down Selene's spine. "You think you can defeat me? Me, the God of War? You are nothing but a mere goddess."Selene straightened her shoulders, her stance unwavering. "I may be a goddess, but I'm not alone," Selene corrected, her hand tightening around the hilt of the godkiller sword. "My fellow gods are here, and we will end your reign of terror once and for all."Ares' sneer twisted into a scowl. "Goddess or not, you stand no chance against me. But if you wish to die by my hand, I am happy to oblige." he chuckled. “But first, let’s see those fellow gods of yours you seemed to trust so much.”Area smirked as the gods who had taken his side appeared. Poseidon and Demeter. Selene had expected to see Apollo amongst them but he wasn’t there.When Ares saw the gods, his eyes narrowed. “Where are the
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
