Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 18
Astraea's POV After Emily dropped me at home, I was glad that none of my parents were present. Otherwise, I don't know how would I have explained my state. Anyhow, I dragged myself upstairs to my room. Standing in front of the mirror, I pulled down the collar of my shirt. There was no marking or handprints on my neck, yet the excruciating pain felt like the outcome of getting choked, not in a good way. I sighed and walked to my bathroom. Opening the shower door, I stepped under the shower without even removing my clothes. Lukewarm water washed over my body, wetting my dress in the process. The warm sprinkles were a boon after the feeling of nearly dying in the frosty river. Closing my eyes, I felt every little drop softly touching my skin, washing away every anxiety and paranoic thought, even though for a few moments. But it was enough to clear my head of the fear and suffocation. Almost an hour later, I came out of the shower and changed my clothes into a cute Spongebob shorts a

Astraea's POV Coffee silently kept on eating. I scratched a little on his head, even though he was a goofball, I shouldn't forget that he is still wild. "Coffee, Did you ?" He looked at me once and barked. Right he can't understand you Astraea. Eating up his whole meal, the wolf howled loudly making me flinch. I took a few steps back when Coffee suddenly ran back into the forest. "I wasn't done yet." I murmured, following him. He was fast, abnormally fast, With my human legs, it was impossible to follow him. But I didn't stop. The rustling of leaves and the prints helped me track Coffee. I almost reached deep within the forest when the prints stopped. Where did he go? I looked around, Coffee wasn't there. Instead, there was a cave hidden between two huge trunks of trees. It was small compared to the size of Coffee, but it wouldn't be a loss if I do a little snooping. Nonetheless, I carefully looked inside the cave. It was dark, and few leaves were spread here and there. I p

Astraea's POV "Zeus"It was a small whisper that was buried under the serenity of the dark. No one could hear it. But certainly, he did. Though he was looking in my direction, the dark let me hide under their cover. He focused back on the men beside him. Those words were hushed but seeing their expression it was clear that they were pissed. So if they found me eavesdropping, I don't know whether should I run or patiently wait for them to pity me. The scarred man was clenching his teeth as he spoke something to Zeus, who calmly listened to his furious rants. As soon as the scarred man finished, Zeus turned his back on me, looking towards the moon. At this point, I don't even know if he said anything or not. However, the group of men bowed back and left.I kept looking in their direction as they walked briskly through the forest vanishing in the dark. "Spying on me?"I flinched as the hoarse voice came from behind. The warm breath fanned my ear and the masculine scent filled my

Astraea's POV THE NEXT DAY Since it was the weekend, I could proceed according to my plan. Hastily taking a shower I went into my closet. The weather was nice and welcoming, so I opted for a dropped waist blue mini skirt and paired it with a laced white top. It was cute.My natural blonde curls rested gracefully on my shoulders. Taking my purse, I ran down. Mom and Dad were having their breakfast. "Good morning folks." I chirped. My dad carefully looked at my outfit and narrowed his eyes. "The skirt looks too---" "Pretty." My mom cut his words and side-eyed him.Dad awkwardly cleared his throat and I swear I wanted to laugh seeing his face.It reminded me of Voldemort, except for the nose of course. "Yeah. Pretty, very pretty. But where are you going right now? I thought you had no plans today." I pulled out the chair for myself while Mom served me delicious chocolate pancakes full of choco chips- just the way I like. "I didn't but then I remembered that I need a book for my

Astraea's POV I groaned in pain. My head felt like being crushed under a truck's tire. What the hell? I could hardly open my eyes as the pain in my head increased. My body felt on fire, definitely not in a good way. I looked around and it was a small wooden cabin. The doors and windows were closed. I panicked and checked myself.My clothes were just as it is and the fall did scrap my knees which were now cleaned and covered in a bandage.Thank god nothing happened. Slowly trying to get up from the cot, I walked to the windows. They were tightly shut but after giving a few hard jerks, it eventually opened. All I could see were trees and the sky was dark. I checked my pockets and my phone wasn't there.What time it is? Mom and Dad would be so worried. Shit. I tried to open the door but it was definitely locked. Except for the owl's hooting and the crickets, I couldn't hear anything. It must be located in somewhere secluded place. The place was unusually cold so, I was really gl

Astraea's POV After strolling through the forest for almost an hour, I finally found the town road. It was 6 a.m. and figuring that it probably wasn't the ideal time to greet my parents at their door, I walked toward Emily's. Her parents were out of town so I won't have to answer anyone, except Em of course. Right, Em. She did call me, I wonder why? It took me almost twenty minutes to reach the Anderson's. The entire front yard was filled with rose flowers. Emily's mother had a weird obsession with them, but of course, no one in the family could object her whether they like it or not. You really don't want to get on the bad side of Mrs. Anderson. It gets really.. dirty. I knocked on the door a few times and a sudden paddling sound came from inside. The door opened with a bang, making me flinch. A messed-up Emily stood in front of me. Her hair resembled a half-eaten haystack, the pajamas were riddled up on one side, all creased and crumpled. Her eyes were profusely red, staring at

Astraea's POV "Wait...that's it? I wanted to know what happened next. I mean how could someone end this just here? It was just starting. What did she mean by that? Is she in trauma and I don't even know the cute prince's name? How-" "EMILY!!!!" Her rambling abruptly stopped. She closed the book and looked at me while smiling like an over-fed puppy. "Sorry. I was too engrossed with it." "Tell me about it." I mumbled. "So we don't know what happens next?" I nodded. Emily kept quiet and stared at the wall blankly. A few minutes passed and I kept on waiting for her but there was no change.I was going to shake her back to reality when she jumped out of the bed and looked at me with a determined face. "We are going clubbing." She smiled. It took me a few minutes to understand how she even came to that conclusion."And how is that going to help me complete the book?" "Of course, it's not going to help you." I narrowed my eyes. "Then why on earth are we going clubbing?" "To get d

Astraea's POV "Uh hun, the night is still young Em." The golden eyes were shimmering with curiosity. They were studying me and weirdly, it made me feel alive. Was I craving for those eyes to look at me? Maybe I was. I still am. It was like a breath of fresh air. Zeus's attention on me seemed to blur everything around. The mysteries, the dead-ends, everything took a back seat.It was just me and him. Taking five more shots and gulping them down one by one, my head felt too light-headed. My body didn't feel burdened under gravity, instead, it was almost as light as the feathers. The unseen shackles holding me were now broken. I was no more bounded but free and those glowing golden orbs only tend to increase the tenacity in me.Buring me with an unknown desire. I stood up and walked to the dance floor. My forest green eyes held Zeus's attention solely to myself. My heart danced in a neverending melody. He was no longer paying attention to the fake glitters beside him. Her giggles

Astraea's POVI always knew running was the choice of a coward. Hell, and being a coward was something I never learned.Yet here I stood, behind a damn locker as if it could protect me from getting squished under the catastrophe I created. A pit of my ownhell. I knew from the core of my very existence that it was stupid, but the heart was even stupider. The fear of the unknown nightkept on growing in my heart, being wary of the consequences.But before I could jeopardize anything, my skin felt on fire, like the sweet burn spreading through every pore of my pale skin.His hot breath fanned my ears. I was sure it was red by now, but I couldn't muster up the courage to look into his eyes."Running away already?"The mock was clear in his tone and as much as I tried to ignore it, the red bloomed on my cheeks.Sighing, I turned and looked at him, who still had the small smug smirk on his lips.Well not for long."You wish!!"He chuckled.The breathy sound was enough to take away the futi

Astraea's POV I groaned and turned my back on the irritating sunlight falling on my face. I want to sleep more. But, then again my mother's voice didn't let me fulfill my wishes. "Wake up Astraea, you're already late." She said and moved the curtains from the window making the whole room brighten up. I slowly pushed myself on my arms to get up when the sudden sharp of pain hit my head. It was like tons of bricks thrown at my head. "Ahh... my head." I whimpered while holding my head. This made my mom chuckle. "Who told you to drink so much? That too on your first time. Poor Zeus had to brink your drunken ass home." She snorted And that moment, I felt everything around me stop. "Get freshen up and have your breakfast. Then take the pain reliever. It will help a bit."I couldn't pay attention to anything she said except for one thing. Zeus....he was the one to bring me home.Why can't I remember anything?I didn't do anything crazy right?Ah... why is my memory so poor? "Why d

Author's POVHer golden hair shined like shimmery strands under the moonlight. The light breeze felt like icicles on her naked skin. It was almost midnight and the little town called Castleville was already in a deep sleep.Except two. They were lost in their own world.One was almost dancing and swaying on the empty streets which glowed under the moonlight while the other had his eyes stuck on the innocent little vixen.It was like he was the one intoxicated, drunk in her.Was he always so spellbinding under her spell? He wondered but not once did his eyes deviated.No, it was stuck on her. Like those stars who dim themselves to make the moon shine a lot brighter than anything in the sky.For him, he was the star among many while she was the only moon in his entire sky. He was the shadow, her shadow. He was meant to watch her, to protect her from every soul which intended to inflict harm on her innocent soul.All his life, he wished was her happiness, her smiles. He was ready to tak

Astraea's POV Dawn..... It felt so right.But why Dawn? My name was Astraea? So how could he call me something I was not related to? Is he drunk? Then like a flash, that dream I was in shattered when I was pulled away from his arms. My vision blurred a bit but I could see those expensively manicured hands on Zeus' shoulder. The girl, whose name I still didn't know, looked at Zeus with an extra sweet smile. "What are you doing here, Zeus?" She purred. SHE LITERALLY PURRED!!! I almost wanted to laugh. Zeus's face cringed with disgust. But before he could reply, someone grabbed me from behind. It was Emily. "You okay?" Her eyes moved to see those two people standing behind me. I could almost see those gears running in her head and then she smirked. Oh boy!!!! "My head!" She shouted and then stumbled back into a grasp. Only then did I notice who it was. Roman worriedly held her and made her stand up. Not once did he let her go and I could see the blush on Emily's face. "I don
