23.Selene couldn't believe what was actually happening right now. Dominic realized what he was doing and quickly pulled away from the kiss. Selene watched him, her eyes wide open and her face flushed, she didn't expect that kiss at all.“I'm… sorry.” He muttered and quickly walked away, leaving her in her shocked and shaken state.She touched her lips and then looked at Dominic's retreating figure, wondering what came over him that made him kiss her.She placed her hand on her chest and realized that her heart was beating frantically. She exhaled for a good number of times before walking out of the classroom.Selene rushed into the female's restroom and washed her face. “Maybe I was dreaming or hallucinating. Yes, I was totally hallucinating,” She comforted herself as she washed her face repeatedly.When she was done, she huffed and stared at her reflection in the mirror. Concluding that she was hallucinating, she stepped out and walked back to the classroom.When she entered, her ey
24.“He did what! Kissed you and called you disgusting? What guts!” Artemis exclaimed.She had come to visit Selene that night and Selene had told her all that happened. She felt she might go crazy if she kept it to herself and Artemis was her best friend and someone she could share her problems with.“I was so shocked, Artemis. Everything happened so fast and it took me by surprise.” She responded.Artemis frowned. “Do I need to pay him a visit and turn him into a bear or an ape? No, I'll turn him into a gorilla or a pig, then he'll know what disgusting means.” She snapped.Selene chuckled. “Calm down.”“No, don't tell me to calm down. How dare he talk to a whole moon goddess like that?” She asked.“He doesn't know I'm the moon goddess.” Selene found herself defending him.“And so what? That doesn't give him the leverage to do as he pleases. He doesn't know the Future of the so-called pack he's training for is in your hands?” She snapped.Selene sighed. She knew the kind of person Ar
25.“Why do you want to see my mate, mother? It's not like I'm ready to get married yet.” Dominic requested.Queen Bathsheba smiled. “Dominic, I want to know that girl that the moon goddess has chosen for you, is anything wrong with that?” She asked.“Nothing is wrong with that, mother but I refuse to show you.” He answered.Queen Bathsheba sighed. “Dominic, you will soon be the Alpha of our pack. And as the Alpha, you need a mate by your side to rule with you. It's not just about finding someone to love and cherish, but it's also about ensuring the survival and strength of our pack.” She explained.Dominic sighed. He knew his mother was right, but he couldn't help feeling stubborn. He had already found his mate, she did not seem to click with him. He wanted to find someone he truly loved, not just someone who fit the criteria of a suitable mate. He wanted someone who was strong as well, and not so fragile an egg he would have to save her ass all the time. He wanted support and not a
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
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
130. Artemis paced, frustration lining her features. "We've heard nothing from Selene. She went to speak with Ares, and now both are missing." she threw her hands in the air. She was very worried about Selene. Aphrodite's brow furrowed, concern etched on her face. "The gods aren't responding. It's as if they're hiding something." "What do we do? We can't just sit and watch. We have no idea what happened and how she suddenly vanished. Selene wouldn't go anywhere without letting us know, would she?" Artemis covered her face with her palms, her mind racing with possibilities of where Selene could actually be. Just then, Apollo appeared before them, his radiant aura dimmed. Artemis spun, her eyes blazing. "Apollo, where is Selene? I know you're involved in this!" she snapped, the anger evident in her voice. Aphrodite stood up as well, mirroring Artmis' expression. Apollo's expression turned somber. "Artemis, please—" "Don't 'please' me!" Artemis interrupted. "You've always had fee
