RHEA POV"Listen to me, I did not want you to engage in this fight. You are a woman and you are not obliged to protect me.""Trust me Atlas, I can do it... I just can't hide on your back from time to time.""And what are you two fighting about huh?" Prince Malik asked, smirking because he thought he had the assurance of claiming the victory, "Is this some kind of trivial matter? Or you've got something up your sleeves? Honestly speaking, what is the point of creating a plan when the result is just the same? Surrender now and kneel before me so I can give both of you a painless fucking death?""Why don't you shut up your mouth instead? Seriously speaking, you are using your armies to fight me instead of you? What a shame! Hiding on someone's back, are you really worthy to be called the prince?"In anger, Prince Malik unsheathes his sword and points it at Atlas, "How dare you insult and disrespect a prince like me in front of my army? I will cut off your head and feed you to the beasts
RHEA POV"Okay this is it Rhea," I murmured again, trying to pacify myself in this difficult and complicated situation. I fought them with the best I've got, I managed to take down some of them but it wears the hell out of me. In the end, I already kneeled down on my knees and closed my eyes as I accepted my faith. "Do you have any last words before your last breath?"I closed my eyes and did not answer him even though the edge of his sword was already in my throat, so when he was about to cut off my head, a familiar voice suddenly spoke up. "Get your filthy sword off of her," I tried finding the voice, I am sure it really sounds familiar. Then I heard several footsteps from behind. "It's you Jared and Carlo," I said in surprise, followed by a question. "What are you doing in here?"Jared smirked at me, "Don't assume that we've come here to save you. We are here because we want to protect Atlas and we realized that what is important to him is important to us."As soon as I blinked
RHEA POVHe let out a frustrated sigh, "I seriously can't understand girls like you sometimes. Just because a guy cared for you does not necessarily mean that they've got feelings for you as well. Atlas might act kind to you but-""Trust me, I am still in love with my former mate who rejected me in front of his father. His name is Matthew but I still believe that he rejected me to please his father who hated me so much.""And then what? Why are you telling me about something I did not care about?""It's because I just want you to realize that I have a feeling for someone else.""Cut the crap, if you want to rebuild this cabin, you should do it yourself. I am not having pity on the likes of you, damn witch. But the question is, how are you going to rebuild this place if you have no idea how to do it? You fool!"I still smiled even though he is trying to put me down, "Well, I was an omega who had been a slave for many years. And because of my rank, I was even obliged to help rebuild som
RHEA POV"D... don't worry about Joe... he is not really one you should be concerned about. He knows where to find us," Atlas said, I could barely hear him speak because of his energy. I guess it's because of his wounds, that is why he's having a hard time speaking clearly. Without hesitation, I joined them and we went to Jared's cabin which is slightly far from Atlas' cabin. Unlike the cabin of Atlas, Jared's house is slightly wide and there are a lot of rogues living inside. It was well lit with torches attached on every corner. Silence filled the area when they saw me with Atlas and Jared. "The fuck! What is that girl doing in here?" a man with an eyepatch said, making me nervous with his intimidating voice. "She ain't an enemy of us anymore. In fact, she's going to stay here as long as Atlas wants. Now, Aamon, you should give her respect if you don't want to be punished by Atlas.""But she has the blood of a witch running through her veins. It goes without saying that we shoul
RHEA POVAfter we arrived behind the tree, I started talking to him. "So what are you going to say now?" I said, making a straight face to him. "Let us discuss about that Matthew, your supposed fated mate who rejected you.""And what about him?" I started to get confused, he seemed to know something that I didn't. "I want you to listen carefully because I am going to say it just once. I can help you reunite with Matthew again, I know it's pretty damn hard for you to trust in me but I can use a horse to leave this place. Don't get the wrong idea, though! I am helping you not because I want to, but because I simply can't let you stay here for a long time. Can't you see? The people in this area are totally against you! You're just simply alone without Atlas.""What? Atlas would be upset if I leave-""Then just don't say a word to him. Disappear without asking him for permission," he snapped. "Why would I even do that? He has been so kind to me ever since so what makes you think that
ATLAS POVI hate to admit it but I seriously think I already have feelings for Rhea. I have no plans of saying it to her because I am afraid she would just reject me. It's crystal clear that she's still in love with Matthew and there is no way she can love someone like me. So it would be a waste of time as my love won't be reciprocated. The fact of the matter is, I am willing to help her accomplish her dreams even if it hurts me inside. My love for her is so genuine that I will make sure she'll come back to her fated mate. "Atlas... your eyes are full of hope.""Of course," I said smiling at her. "I want to be your source of confidence... because that is what you are lacking."She avoided my straight eyes and she could not speak up. "Tomorrow morning, let us train outside to see if you can transform. But if this does not happen, let us try again some other time until you master it.""Thank you for your kindness Alpha Atlas. If it wasn't for you, I would be dead by now."I grinned s
ATLAS POVSuddenly, Malik started to act weird. And he started to disintegrate together with all the people around us. "Until next time, fucking bitch!" he said with a smirk on his face. I seriously don't know what is going on right now but I am not having any of it. As soon as I turned around, there was this portal that was opened before me. "What the hell is going on here?" I murmured, trying to figure out what fuck is happening right now. It got me so damn curious about what lies behind this portal so I entered inside despite me being so scared of what is about to happen. Upon entering, I was teleported in front of a huge mansion- perhaps, it is the most humungous and most beautiful mansion I have ever been to. There were fancy cars and people in attire I had never seen before. In our place, we are more in a traditional way of living. Our houses were mostly made of wood and some rocks we got from Gilgamesh mountain. But seeing this, was like a dream come true for someone like
ATLAS POV"The one that will shine today is no other than," her eyes suddenly landed on me and she grinned. "Rhea!"My head just turned around and looked at Rhea like the rest of the crowd. She seems so damn uncomfortable with the attention she is getting right now. But as someone who came from the future, I know shit is about to happen. Damn! This moon goddess is really giving me much headache right now. Rhea put a smile on her face and I could see that she started to feel even more awkward. How I wish we both disappeared into thin air. She started talking to her friend again but I still could hear what they were talking about. I dropped on sweat glistened on my forehead and I felt a frantic fear rising up inside of me.The Moon Goddess came closer to her and whispered something. Later on, she seems to invite Rhea on stage. At the edge of my sight, I noticed that her friend who wore a red gown had gone missing. This time, I move closer to them since I am just a projection because I
RHEA POVAfter the wedding and even during Saturday evening, everything seems so calm. The people who died on the battlefield was also given their respective funeral. We honored their bravery regardless of whether they are rogues or allies. But just like the rest of the days, we have to move forward with our lives. A lot of things have happened and I could no longer afford if something like this happens again. Just looking at the family of the victims hurts me from inside. What more if the person I love were on that situation. I could not imagine it to happen. Today is Sunday, and this is the day we have been waiting for. And right now, I must say that I am the most excited human being in the planet, knowing that this is the day of my marriage. Right now, Matthew hired five people for me to help me wear my while long gown. It was adorned with real diamonds and other gems that my eyes sparkled upon seeing it even though I have seen it several times. Even the helm of the gown, it loo
RHEA POVSuddenly, Matthew looked at me. "Rhea, I would like to apologize to you as well. You have been so kind and understanding of me.""As you have said, let us put everything behind the past. For now, I am truly happy to see both of you reconcile.""Matthew, please do the honor of guiding Rhea to walk downstairs.""Of course. Please have a sit on the table beside me and Rhea, I do not want you to be left out so Zeus was there. He is my youngest brother. As you have heard, we are not blood related but I treated him like a real brother. He is a kind person and open minded."Atlas just smiled at Matthew and then he headed downstairs. And when he was gone, I turned my gaze on Matthew. "Well done, I fell in love with you even more when you started hugging him. Although I also understand that you were jealous of him from the first time you heard of him.""Rhea, you are already mine so I am not worried about him anymore. So now that you see me already changed, I guess it's now time for
RHEA POVTomorrow morning, even though Matthew has not recovered just yet, he still throw a party for us. And today, the set up inside their mansion was no different from the mating ball last time. There are a lot of wines being served in the round tables. A lot of foods to choose from. There are so many balloons pinned on the wall. Red petals have been scattered on the ground. The chandeliers are illuminating so brightly up in the ceiling. And wherever I laid my eyes on, I could not see anything sad. All of them are beyond happy with what is happening right now. It seems like we have not encountered a war yesterday. Or maybe I was just assuming things. Right now, I went back to Matthew's room and changed my outfit to red in order to match the event. I also put my lipstick and made my hair curly. Just this once, I would really like to be hailed as the most beautiful woman in the eyes of Matthew. As I was looking at myself in the mirror, someone started knocking on the damn door,
CINDY POV"I guess that is what you called karma. After everything that you have done against others, this is what you get! Now, you are now a pathetic human being. A powerless individual who is now on the run because you have so many enemies chasing after you."Suddenly, he pinned me on the wall. "How dare you say such a thing like that huh? I am still the Alpha of my pack! And my powers alone is more than enough to prove that I'm still the mightiest being on this land.""Really? Then why don't you use that so called power in order to gather your supporters huh? I am so sick of you bossing me around these past few days, promising something and looked, it did not happen! So now that you owed me your life, you should know that doing this does nothing but shame on yourself."He let go of me. "I swear, I will return to the mansion and everyone is going to kneel down before me. They can have their celebration as of now. But I'm gonna take back what they stole from me... even if I do it
CINDY POVI am facing the mirror right now. I still could not believe that I've got severely wounded by that damn pest who almost killed me. If I had not pretended I died, she would sure have eliminated me completely. This battle which I thought was on our favor does not happen exactly the way I want it. And it would definitely take a lot of time for me to recover. Damn that girl, I'll make sure that the second time we'll see each other, she'll be as good as dead.Suddenly the door opened and Alpha Lorenzo came in. He was full of bondage of his body because of the wounds he sustained from his fight."If it was not for me, you are as good as dead Alpha Lorenzo!" I said while approaching him. "So you'll have to thank me first."He gave me a menacing look but I was not afraid of him in the slightest."I owed you nothing Cindy. I could easily escaped that prison without your help but since you already arrived, I just go with the flow.""Still, I was the one who saved you. So you still o
RHEA POV"Rhea, you have more than enough reason to unleash your powers. If just in case he went here, then put in your mind that he is our mortal enemy."I looked at Zeus and sheepishly smiled, "Thank you for the information Zeus. I really appreciate it, I am saddened with what happened but there is no reason for you to assign guards here. I don't think Alpha Lorenzo is ready enough to come back here considering that he already escaped. He is also weak like the rest of us. And that person who helped him out will surely not coming here since that person's priority is helping him escaped."He smiled at me and leave without saying any words, then I closed the door and locked it."I have a plan Matthew," I said as I was approaching him. "And what is that?" he asked. "Why don't we make our wedding a secret instead? At least in that way, we can make sure that we are going to have a successful wedding.""What are you talking about huh? I will never do such a thing! Of course as someone wh
RHEA POV"While I agreed with you, I think we should not focus on that one. As they say, while the iron is hot, we have to use that opportunity to marry. Because I don't want to waste anymore time. I wanted to have a family with you Rhea."I suddenly turned paled upon hearing what he has to say. While I admit, I am ready to get marry to him, something does not feel right. I think that we should spend time together, creating memories, and enjoy on each other's company.He held my hand and gave me a questioning look, "What is taking you so long to decide huh? Don't you agree with what I say? I thought you love me Rhea? So what gives?""Well... not unless your wounds have already healed, we are not going to marry just yet. So you have to promise me that you will recover as soon as possible.""Of course," he said, giving me a wide smile, "My body will recover as soon as possible and if that happens, then we are going to get married.""But before that happens, can we go to some place? I me
RHEA POV"You have a point there. None of these would have happened if my husband was a nice guy.""We cannot do something about that. But I am hoping that he could still change. After all, he is still the father of Matthew. If he asks for my forgiveness and change his way, then I am going to put all of these behind the past."She started to grab my hand and gave me a rakish smile, "Well thank you for doing that. Now I have come to realize that you are really such a kind person. You may be a witch but you prove to me that not all witch are bad. There is someone like you who exists.""By the way, what happened to Matthew while I was gone?""He was always thinking about you in his room. And he treated Cindy coldly. On the other hand, Cindy was so nice to him and she was so clingy. Matthew was irritated with her but decided not to speak up because of his father. However, I should have done something in order to prevent that from happening. I love my son so much but I have never fought fo
ZEUS POV"I see..."She looks so sad about the news that I gave her. "He asked me that you should go there and visit here. He won't be entertaining any guest aside from you."She started looking at Atlas who was lying on the bed, "But Atlas also need me by his side. I don't know if I can visit him right now. Atlas has not fully recover yet. He still needs my blood.""But my brother is still weak right now. He said that you should prioritize him because he is your fated mate. Just try to visit him first. I am so worried that he won't eat his food. Just a few minutes, leave Atlas to me, I will guard him and when he woke up, I'll explain everything to him later.""Well... Hannah is coming later, she will bring some food for Atlas. I have to be here while she is not around.""Wait... what is the relationship of Atlas to her though?""She loves Atlas but he did not love her back. But now, I want to find a way for them to be together.""Okay fine! I will explain everything to her later. Ju
