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
ATLAS POVAs I followed them, they got into a car and left. I was teleported to a garden where I saw them having a good time together. And based on their conversation, it seems that Matthew rejected her only because of his father and not because he wanted to. They dance together while their eyes are on each other. They seem to have good company now that they are alone together under the moon's light. Now, I have come to realize that probably, it was probably Matthew's father who really hates having her as his fated mate and not him. As they were dancing, a black car suddenly stopped in front of the garden, and the first to notice it was no other than Rhea. She looks so terrified when Matthew's father came out of the fucking car and dragged his feet toward them. And right now, I know that shit is about to happen with this bullshit father whom I think is greedy and manipulative. Suddenly, I was sucked by the damn portal again and opened my fucking eyes only to see Rhea and most rogu
RHEA POV"Yes, but the problem is, his father thinks that he is above the law. And now that you have seen what my life that night was... how they talked shit about me... how they cursed me to die..."He covered my mouth with his hand. "Shhh! Let us go outside and focus on eating. You still need to train because you need to be strong. Who knows what danger lies ahead of us once I accompany you to return to Matthew."He gave me a reassuring smile when he removed his hand from my mouth. "You are really serious about it, aren't you?" I asked in wonder. He sighed, "Of course, I am freaking serious about it... after all, it's your happiness that makes me happy as well. And besides, you've got a world that awaits you so let us do whatever it takes for you to win him back."I can't feel any bitterness on Atlas' face. He seems so determined to help me with this problem. He took my hand and we went outside where everyone was waiting. There is a lot of food on a large table and I was amazed t
CINDY POVI started to wake up, brush my teeth, and head outside my room. Today, I am about to go to Matthew's house as it is the birthday celebration of his father. To my surprise, my mother and father were already in the dining area. "Oh my daughter, we have been waiting for you to come down. Let us have a nice conversation first before we prepare for the birthday party of Lorenzo. After all, it's already a few days away from your wedding with Matthew. Let us use this opportunity to execute our plans."My mom grinned like a devil, she knew very well how to play this little game we set up for a very long time. I sat down in front of my father and mother as we were about to discuss something only the three of us knew."So, our plan to make things happen is about to unfold...""Mom, are you sure that you really hired the most powerful-""Oh dear," she snapped, "leave this one to your dearest mother... I know you are too worried about something which ain't gonna happen... I am an exper
MATTHEW POVToday, I wanted to ride on my damn horse to breathe some fresh air and stay away from the mansion since it's my fucking dad's birthday and as I expected, Cindy and her freaking family are going to attend it as well. And so many unnecessary invites that are not even close to my family. They are a bunch of morons in my eyes and I seriously hate having to see any of them- particularly that snake friend of Rhea. As I roamed my eyes around the area, that man with a crooked face popped up in my mind again. It was as if I felt being followed by him. I shoved away the negative thoughts running through my mind and focused my attention on what I was doing. I have come to realize that the more I roamed in the forest, the more I missed Rhea. If only I were not a part of this family, I would surely marry her and have kids on my own already. But things did not go as planned and marrying my childhood friend who made my life so fun and exciting was impossible. I am bound to marry Cindy
MATTHEW POVI wanted to pour out all the negative emotions inside of me toward Dad but I don't know if I can trust my brother and share my other problems with him. "Yes, your fate is already sealed like the rest of us. And yet looked at me, I no longer complained. I was enlightened because our family is privileged to do some things that others don't. Like for example, we can eat and buy any car that we want. Our businesses are lucrative and profitable. And our family's name is undeniably popular.""Hold on a sec... are you trying to lecture me? The other day, you told me about something like let us rebel and take revenge on Dad. But all of a sudden, you acted like this. You are a piece of shit.""Yeah! Call me names, I don't give a damn. But still-""Are you proposing the plan again? Because I don't give a damn about it... not in a million years...""No, it's not like we can convince you to do it. However, it came directly from your mouth that we cannot prevent the inevitable," he sa
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
