ZEUS POVI was ordered by my damn father to patrol the tunnel as he started sensing something bad might happen today. And right now, I heard someone is walking on the waters. It seems like he was right after all. I opened my lamp and I was right. It was Rhea because of her unusual scent. "Hey? Who are you?" she asked as she pedaled back as if she was afraid of me. "Hey!" I flashed a smile, "Do not be afraid of me, I ain't your enemy.""Liar! How do you know my name then?" she asked again. "Well, your scent was kind of odd and rare. My father told me that a witch's scent is exactly like that. By the way, I was not aware of your coming. And do not worry we are not enemies at all but at the same time, we are not considered allies.""Don't play dumb! I know you set a trap for me. All I want is to see Matthew again.""Yeah! I know that and I am well aware of what happened during that night where my brother was forced to reject you. As a matter of fact, I have heard different version of
RHEA POV"Anyway, regardless if what you are saying is true or not, I wanted to talk to Matthew. Can you do me a favor and bring me to him?""Not unless we are done talking, we are not coming there anytime soon. As you see, it will only take a matter of time before the bloody war is about to take place. I only have a few questions," he reiterated. "Then go ahead and ask them now. I am in a bit hurry because I am eager to see Matthew again.""Well, that's exactly what I'd like to ask, who is the most powerful rogue and what is his capabilities? Did you guys set a trap? What kind of trap? How many rogues are attacking us?""You have ton of questions. It seems that you are more curious about this than I originally thought.""The lives of many people are at stake here. And by the way, just to ensure that all civilians are safe, we already evacuated them in a safer area. But unfortunately since you are still considered my enemy, I won't tell you where."Can I really trust this guy? Based
RHEA POVI took a deep sigh as I answer his question. "Do I still have to spell it out for you? Atlas and I are just intimate friends and it would be impossible for someone like him to have an affair with me because he knows that my fated mate is no other than Matthew. I hope we avoid having anymore debates regarding this embarrassing topic.""Alright, I really appreciate you telling me about these dangerous Alphas we should look out to especially that Atlas. I think if he was on par with my father, then he saves you the hassle of killing him.""So now, why don't we proceed to finding Matthew since I am done sharing all of these to you?""Before we go there, there is one more thing you should know... something that will blow your mind away.""What is that?" I asked in frown. "Do you happen to have a friend who goes by the name of Cindy? She is the same height as you but she is a part of a royal family."I smiled, "Oh I see... you know her as well? Indeed, she is the only friend I ha
RHEA POVAfter a few minutes, we arrived in front of another stairs. He looked at me as he pointed the lamps in front of us."This is the secret passage that would lead to where Matthew is, but as I said earlier, let us be careful and do not try to cause any troubles. If you are going to do that, then I am already one of your enemies," he reminds me again.I nodded my head in agreement. And then he proceeded to heading downstairs. The walls look weak and if ever an earthquake strikes. I followed him and when he opened the door, it leads us to another room. There were some guards guarding the place."Shhh!" he said, gesturing my hand, "move when I tell you to do so. Got it?"He started exciting the doors, but did not close it. I think he wanted me to hear his conversation with these guards."Hey buddy? Where is my fucking brother Matthew?" he asked."He is inside the room but he is not allowed to leave this premises without the approval of Alpha Lorenzo.""Is that so?" I heard Zeus sai
MATTHEW POVI am really jealous right now. To think that Rhea is having an intimate relationship with another guy instead of me is beyond my damn comprehension. She is only min and I will not allow anyone to have a close relationship with her. I want nothing else."Well, he might be a good person but it ain't a good thing if you are going to be close with someone like him."She held my hand and gleamingly smiled, "At least try giving him a chance. For now, I know and understood the gravity of your situation but once you come along with him, it would become the best thing.""No!" I said with a firm voice, getting annoyed with how she smiled while narrating the story about this damn Atlas guy. "If I see him, there will be a great war between the two of us. I will surely smack the shit out of me.""Hey!" said Zeus, interrupting our conversation, "Are you done talking? You have to hurry up and leave this damn place before it's too late. There are soldiers coming in here... I can sense the
ALPHA LORENZO POVIt was so chaotic outside, my soldiers are clashing their swords against the rogues and I was just sipping my damn wine while watching them. It has been a very long time since I saw such a chaotic war and I smiled for every soldier or rogue who lay on the ground, dying in agony because they are weak. Every war is like that... in my many years of my damn existence, it was very natural for me to be like this. "The enemies are losing," Alpha Brent said, the one who leads the pack of Shadow pack who also happens to be one of the few enemies of mine before but we have come into terms that the war between us should be over since it did nothing except lose the lives of many soldiers especially on his side. I gave him a grin of a devil and talked in a bragging way, "Of course, the winner is already declared even before the war has began. These fucking rogues have the audacity to rush here without considering the damn consequences of their actions. And later on I will be
ATLAS POVIt was a very tough battle for us. Seeing my comrades being taken down one after another really breaks my heart. And I wanted to blame myself for not defending them all. I am so weak right now and we are bound to lose this war. I also think that I am not going to see Rhea alive together with Matthew. But at least, as a damn Alpha, I died along with the people who have been with me for a very long time. We may not be able to get the revenge we want but we died bringing honor for our names."Hey," Jared said as he was clashing his sword against his enemies. "Atlas, I am wondering... it seems that the enemies anticipated our attack. Were they aware of our coming?""I seriously don't know the answer to that," I said while beating the multiple enemies in front of me. "But if ever they know about it, that only means two things: Whether one of our comrades leaked the information about them or they have a spy or lookout. Aside from those theories, I could not think of any other rea
ATLAS POVHe started grinning like a devil upon hearing Rhea's name. This guy, he is really make my damn blood boils. "Speaking of her, I am sure that she told you an entire different story about me and painted me as the bad guy on her story. Isn't that right?""Of course you are the bad guy on her story. And even though you tell me your side of story, I am not going to believe in it. She is the one I trust as you can see... After I save her on the Gilgamesh mountain and took care of here, there was not a single day she was not hurt about what happened and it was hard for her to trust anyone... and there is no one to blame except for you!""Well... it does not really matter to me. But one thing is for sure, I am not going to let her have my son. You can curse me all you want but it does not change the fact that you are going to lose on this battle."Seeing the faces of the people here made me realize that I am going to lose on this battle. This is really a hopeless case for me and fo
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
