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
43.The next morning, Naya awoke with a throbbing headache. She clutched tight to her head and winced in pain. When she looked to the left, she saw a tray with a plate of soup in it.She didn't give a damn about where she was at the moment and took the soup. While she was downing it, Selene walked in.“You're awake.” She smiled and sat beside Naya on the bed.“Wow, this is your place?” Naya asked.“My room actually,” Selene chuckled.“It's beautiful,” She complimented, causing Selene to smile. “I know I must have done a lot of crazy things yesterday. I'm intolerant to alcohol but I just can't help myself when I'm excited. I'm just happy Lady Cha Cha didn't see me yesterday. I would be in a lot of trouble if she finds out.” Naya facepalmed.“Who's Lady Cha Cha?” Selene chuckled.“My court lady and the most annoying woman I've ever laid my eyes on. Her name is Charlotte, though. I and the little princesses call her Cha Cha when we want to make fun of her.” Naya giggled.Selene chuckled.
44.“Is that how to welcome people now? You were smiling before now. Were you expecting someone else?” He asked.“Yes.” She answered.“Who? Is it a guy?” He asked.Selene sighed. “What do you want?” She asked.“I need to talk to you about something.” He answered.“Now is not the right time.” She replied and was about to close the door but he held it.“Why? Because you're expecting a visitor?” He asked.“Yes, because I'm expecting a visitor.” She answered.He scoffed. “So, your visitor is more important than what's bothering me?” He questioned and Selene could sense hurt in his voice.She said nothing and gave way for him to come in. When he was in, she shut the door and faced him with her hands folded. “What is it?” She asked.“What happened last night?” He asked and Selene's eyes widened.She tried to hold a calm expression but she failed woefully. She cleared her throat, looking for an excuse to use on him.“Is that why you left your palace to my house this early morning when others
45.“What the heck did you think you were doing?” Apollo questioned after Dominic left.On one side Selene was glad he didn't appear in their presence, and on the other side, she was happy he appeared in his human form, else they would have been exposed.“What were you doing?” Apollo asked again and Selene sighed.“How did you get here?” She questioned.“You haven't answered my question, Selene.” He folded his hand.“You were the one who entered a lady's apartment without warning or a knock.” She scolded.“I've done this countless times. Why are you complaining about it today?” He asked. He was hurt to have found her in Dominic's arms. He wouldn't have been angry if she was indifferent to what he was doing but no, there was something he saw in her eyes as he stood there watching them and that thing broke him.Selene knew he was right. She was only trying to form an excuse and change the topic of discussion but he knew her too well and caught her.“Do you want some cookies? I made some
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
