26.“What made your decision so fast, Apollo? Did she break your heart?” Ares asked, his voice laced with mockery.“More than you can imagine. I was ready to forget about this damn plan of yours if she accepted me but as always, she walked away.” Apollo answered with a frown.Ares frowned. “That's one thing you should know about Selene, Apollo. She is too full of herself and acts like the world revolves around her. We do all the work here and the werewolves give her all the praise. Still, she doesn't give us our due respect. Do you know why she's always rejecting you?” He asked and Apollo shook his head.“She sees that you are not good for her. Very soon, she might even fall for Hercules or Poseidon and forget about you. She doesn't see you as someone of her class and caliber. She sees you as a liability and waste of space!” He snapped and Apollo gasped.“Oh, don't you know?” Ares chuckled. “The only way you can have her in your palms, all to yourself and prove to her that you're her
27. “Selene knows about our plans.” Mr. Ethan revealed to Dominic after their Martial arts training that day. They waited until the students left and sat on the chair there.Dominic's eyes widened. “What!” He dropped the towel he was using to wipe his sweat clean. “How did she find out? Did you tell her?” He asked.Mr. Ethan sighed. “I only gave her a hint and she figured everything out. She talked like she was present when the war took place. She's mysterious.” Mr. Ethan massaged his temple.Dominic couldn't believe Selene found out what he had kept hidden for years. How was he going to face her and what would she think of him? Not that he cared about what she thought but still… Selene of all people?“What I don't understand is why you would give her a hint.” He frowned at his uncle.“I did that for your own good, Dominic. I wanted her to help you.” Mr. Ethan replied and Dominic scoffed. “Help me? You want Selene to help me? By any chance, did you hit your head on something?” He as
28.That night, Selene paced around the room as she thought of what happened between her and Dominic in school.“What could he be up to?” She questioned herself as she continued to pace around the room.The friendship offer stuff came out of the blue. She remembered him trying to stay away from her during the Martial arts training and just when she stepped out to get lunch and left him with Mr. Ethan… She trailed off in her thoughts. “Mr. Ethan. Could he have told Dominic something about me? He is Dominic's uncle so he'd have definitely told him something,”Selene turned and saw Artemis seated on the bed.“How long have you been here?” Selene asked her and she shook her head.“Long enough to see you walking to and fro restlessly and talking to yourself.” Artemis answered and got down from the bed.Selene facepalmed. “I miss my powers of discernment, Artemis. I'm confused and don't know what to believe. I don't know what Dominic is up to and it's annoying.” She sighed and plopped on t
29.“You're going to seduce her?” Byrce chuckled. “Are you sure about that?” He asked.“Oh, you watch and see how I'm going to make her fall helplessly in love with me. She already has a crush on me and I know it. All I have to do is spice things up.” He answered.Bryce shook his head. “Why do I have the feeling that this isn't a good idea?” Dominic scoffed. “This is why I hate sharing some of my plans with you. You're a show spoiler!” He snapped.Bryce laughed. “It's because this idea is bizarre. I'm not saying you can't pull it off. What I'm trying to say is that you might end up falling in love with her in the process.” He relayed.Dominic waved it off with his hand. “That's not going to happen. I have a heart of stone.” He responded proudly.Bryce shook his head. “It's inevitable, Dominic. You're a wolf, she's a wolf, you two are mates. When you go too close, remember the spark.” He warned.Dominic took his words for joke. “That's not going to happen. She is the one you should be
30.“What! What did you say?” He asked.Queen Bathsheba sighed. “Just sit and hear what he has to say, dear.” She gestured to his seat, and he sighed before sitting down. Bryce took a seat too and Queen Bathsheba gestured for the Alpha that had come to propose marriage to proceed.“Now, the soon to be Alpha is here, it'd be good if you tell him what you just told us. I think he will have a say as well in this.” She smiled at them and the elders nodded.Alpha Draco Russel stood up, and smiled at the people before him. He was an elderly man with lots of strengths and vigor; Alpha of the Wild Heart Pack, the pack Dominic wanted to form an alliance with. He saw marriage as the best way for this alliance to be made.“Greetings. I come in peace actually. We all know that the Wild Heart Pack is the second largest Pack in the country. We take after the Golden Sword Pack, which is this one. I want to form an alliance through marriage because that's the only way I think our bond and friendship
31.Dominic stormed out of the throne room in anger. Bryce, who had already heard their conversation sighed and followed Dominic to the car.“I just don't get why mother suddenly changed her mind. What the heck did that man say to her?” Dominic asked as Bryce drove them to school.“You know how royal families are and how much they value marriage. I think that's why she changed her mind.” He answered but Dominic wasn't convinced.“Alpha Draco must have given her an irresistible offer. That man is a cunning wolf!” He snapped and Bryce chuckled. “But, seriously, I'm not happy with this. How can she tell me to do two things I don't feel like doing?” He asked.“If I may give you good advice, I think you should go for Selene. She is your mate afterall.” Bryce suggested.“And risk my kingdom? Hell no! I don't want to go for Matilda either. When she returns from overseas, I'll know whether I'm in love with her or it's just a stupid childhood crush.” He expressed and Bryce nodded.He wanted to
32.“What the heck did you just say?” He asked, glaring daggers at her.“Let's ditch school and have fun.” Selene repeated and Dominic scoffed.“You've got some nerves, Selene.” He frowned at her and looked away.Selene tightened her hold on his hand and he looked back at her.“You were the one that brought about the friendship offer stuff and now you're turning me down. I know you're stressed out and in a bad mood and I want to help you because you're my friend. Is that bad?” She asked and he became lost for words. Selene pouted cutely. “Please, just for today. I want to see what out there looks like on a normal school day.” She smiled at him.Dominic didn't know when he smiled at her. When he realized it, he frowned immediately and cleared his throat. “Fine, but do not go too far with me. I don't like people!” He warned and she nodded excitedly, happy that he gave in.Her hand was still on his and as he looked at hers in his, he couldn't help the warm feeling that crept up his heart
33.“You want me to pay for your ice cream?” He asked her, emphasizing on the word “your”Selene rolled her eyes. “Duh, didn't you bring me here?” She asked and his eyes widened.“You literally dragged me to this place.” He folded his hands.“So, are you trying to tell me that you can't pay for a lady's food?” She frowned.“It's not like that.” He facepalmed.“Then it's like what?” She asked, feigning annoyance. “Fine, fine.” He muttered and brought out his credit card then gave it to the man. “What about you, aren't you going to take some?” She questioned and didn't wait for him to answer. “Sir, give him whatever flavour he wants.” She requested and the man looked at Dominic to confirm if he wanted one or not.Dominic sighed. “Give me the same flavour as hers.” He requested as well and his was scooped and given to him.The man swiped his card and handed it over to him. Selene dragged him to a bench and they sat down. “Thanks for the ice cream.” She beamed but he didn't answer her.
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
