35.“Come on, Selene, you've got to tell me what happened between you two.” Naya nudged Selene and she sighed.Ever since she returned to the classroom, Naya had been pestering her to spill what she did with Dominic after ditching school the previous day. She keeps trying to tell Naya that nothing happened but Naya was way inquisitive and won't listen. She believed something happened between Selene and Dominic and would stop at nothing to drag the truth out of Selene's mouth.“It's nothing.” Selene answered but Naya wasn't convinced.“You've got to tell me. I know you're lying. You can't ditch school and tell me you didn't have fun together.” She folded her hands and glared at Selene.“Well…” Selene trailed off, not knowing where to start from.“Uh-huh, I'm listening.” Naya waited to hear what she had to say with an excited glint evident in her eyes.“We ate ice cream and had fun in the amusement park while talking about random things. That's all.” She answered with a shrug and Naya c
36.After everyone left the place, Selene still sat there, thinking about what Bryce had told her. “There's no way I'm in love with him, right? I mean, I don't think about him all the time, and I don't wish to see him everyday either. I'm just with him to take my powers back and leave this place for good. There's nothing else happening to me, right?” She questioned herself.Now, she wasn't even sure about her feelings anymore. With a sigh, she folded her hands and looked around the place. Maybe it was just a phase and it'll be over soon; maybe it was her powers in him messing with her; or maybe it was… “Love?” She scoffed to herself. “Oh, please!” “Selene?” Naya called and she turned with a start.“How long have you been here?” She asked.Naya sighed and sat with her. “Long enough to hear you babbling gibberish to yourself. Are you okay?” Naya placed her hand on Selene's shoulder.Selene sighed and massaged her forehead. “I'm fine. Just thinking about a lot.” She answered.“Whateve
37.“W… What do you mean?” She stuttered.“I only asked a simple question and you already look like someone with a gun pointed to her head. You're training to become a Luna, aren't you?” He asked and she nodded. “What's the name of your pack?” He asked.Selene couldn't believe he would ask her such a question. But she wasn't going to let him get to her.“Why do you want to know?” She folded her hands and glared at him.“Because I'm curious.” He answered. He couldn't comprehend why she was being nervous. He could see her nervousness even though she was trying so hard to hide it.“Are you do real right now? What's your business with my pack?” She asked and he chuckled. “Besides, am I not allowed to stay here?” She asked.“Oh yes, of course you are but as the Alpha of this pack, I need to know where its inhabitants are from.” He answered with a smirk.“I come from a far away pack. I can't go to school from there, so I decided to rent an apartment here. Are you happy now?” She scoffed.“N
38.Selene couldn't believe that Queen Bathsheba actually saw her that day. She thought she was invisible, and the woman didn't even act like she had seen her.“Should I leave my story for another day? You look confused.” He said, and she forced a smile.“No, please continue.” She answered.“Well, mother said she didn't want to distract the moon goddess because the moon goddess looked at me with so much love in her eyes. She believed the moon Goddess blessed me that day, and that's why she hoped I'd become an Alpha better than my father.” He concluded.“Wow!” Selene exclaimed. Even his mother saw the love she had for the baby. She thought no one saw her, but the woman did. As she looked back at Dominic, the love she felt for that baby came again. Why she felt that way, she didn't understand until now. How come is she visible when she thought she was invisible? There was something about Dominic that she couldn't quite place her fingers on.She had touched and blessed babies in her time
39.“Do you think I would disclose my plans to you, Selene? Wow! Your arrogance grows by the day.” Ares chuckled and Selene clenched her fists.“You'd better talk, Ares. I know you're up to something and I swear if you bring Apollo into this, I won't spare you.” She threatened and he laughed.“Spare me? Ha! I'm the one doing the sparing here. If you beg me enough, I might be lenient and not end your life when I take your position.” He smirked.“Only in your dreams!” She snapped.“I have plans, Selene. I have big plans that you don't expect even in your entire life as the moon goddess. I'd remain on earth if I were you, that way, you'd be able to escape what's coming.” He warned.“I am not a coward.” She responded.“Neither am I.” He smirked.Selene stood and watched him for a while. If only she knew what the heck was going on in his mind? Right now, her powers were limited and she knew better than to get into a fight with him this time.With a sigh, she took a step back.“Never turn yo
40.The next day at school, Selene couldn't help but feel gloomy. She tried to take the thoughts off her mind but they kept coming. Each day, it was as if she was getting weaker and it was bothering her alot.She had come to class earlier than usual, since she couldn't help but think about the incidents at home but here wasn't helping matters either.She sighed and rested her head on the desk.“What else do I do? I've done everything I saw was right. Why isn't it working? Why hasn't he fallen for me yet?” She asked no one in particular and someone tapped the table.She looked up and was surprised to see Bryce. He smirked at her, causing her to facepalm internally. He must have heard what she said.“So, who's that guy you're trying to make fall for you? It's my friend, isn't it?” He asked and she scoffed.“You wish.” She huffed.“I'm sure he's the one. Why else would you be muttering things to yourself early in the morning?” He asked with a chuckle.She was about to deny it but an idea
41.“Would you like us to train?” Dominic asked during recess, shocking Selene, who wasn't expecting that at all.“Sure.” She smiled and they stood up. As they walked to the dojo, Selene couldn't help but stare at him. He didn't have that usual frown and snobbish look on his face, he had a grin plastered on his face instead. That brought a smile to her face.She saw Asher coming from a distance and facepalmed internally, wishing he would just pass her by without looking for her trouble but it seemed her prayers wouldn't be answered.He stopped in front of her, grinned at Dominic and then averted his gaze back to her. “Are you two like a thing now?” He questioned, mockery dripping from his voice.“Let's just leave,” She muttered to Dominic and was about to go but Asher held her hand. “Let go of me!” She yanked her hands away from him but he held it again.Goodness knew she was fighting the urge to punch him in the face. Dominic said nothing and just stood watching them for the meantime
42.Selene placed Naya on the bed in her room and sighed. She wanted to turn the door knob and go to the living room but stopped.She wondered why her senses didn't tell her someone was watching her. How did he even locate her? Was he stalking her or what?“Should I just erase his memory and act like nothing happened?” She suggested to herself.Dominic had followed her home, insisting on not leaving until she told him why she had been hiding her strength all these while. Selene paced around the room as she thought of what to do to him. She concluded on erasing his memory of that night and went to the living room.When Dominic saw her, he approached her and folded his hands. “Start talking, Selene. What was the meaning of what you did back then? How did you do that? You've been holding back, right? You've been deceiving me all this while acting like you aren't strong, when in fact you are.” He demanded.“I had no choice.” She shrugged, searching for an opportunity or a distraction to m
