Chapter 1.5

'Don't overthink Yhana. I will fix this. Though I know that Minerva has a very important position in the palace.' I take another bite and I finish it. I drank all my coke and went to the kitchen to put it on the sink.

I ran to my room and throw my body on the bed. I had fallen asleep.

I woke up in the middle of the woods. I just walking and walking. The woods are different with full of sparkling flies around. The trees grow healthy with its green leaves and the fruits are fresh. There is a reindeer who glanced at me. Then he ran when he heard something not far.

My wolf Gray smells a familiar scent. I ran to where the scent is coming from. Then I saw my mate standing wearing an armored outfit with a sword on her waist and spear. She glanced at me but she seemed different.

'Minerva?' I walk to her. She faced me with her strong jaw.

'Identify yourself mortal.'

'It's me, Yves...'

'Oh, half immortal. I see that my sister Artemis give werewolf a chance to be a human.'

'What are you talking about?'

'Selene, Luna, and Artemis are one. She is living here in the mortal world.'

'You mean Zoë?'

'I believe that that's her name.' she turned around and walks away. She seemed weird. I hold her arm to stop her. She stopped and looking down at my hand. 'I demand you to take off your hand from me.'

'Minerva where are you going? Don't leave me.'

'I was Minerva also called Athena. But I am not your mate. I gave her skills and beauty like mine to protect the mortals. Now, half-mortal, put your hand down.' I was taken aback by her words.

'What are you talking about?'

'Minerva is asleep. She's with the Gods. I just came into your dream to tell you that the war isn't over. Accept the duty that is given to you and protect your people and the mortals. That's the purpose of the Goddess of Moon from giving you a life to live as a human.'

'When is she going to wake up?'

'Yves, you are impatient. You had been hurt your mate by wishing someone that is not yours. The God of love had given you a chance to love your mate and wait for the right time to meet her. Now, live and don't waste time to regain your mate's trust.'

Then all I see is she had descended back to heaven. What the heck? She looks like Minerva, my mate. But she was the Goddess, Athena.

I woke up from that weird dream. It wasn't just a dream. It was so real. The touch and the way I touch her... it was real.

I changed my clothes and run downstairs. I drove my car to the hospital. I enter her room where she was still sleeping. Her mother is no longer there. I kissed her on the forehead and hold her hand. I sat on the chair beside the hospital bed.

I stare into her face and the face of the Goddess from my dream. They are the replica. I kissed the back of her hand putting her palm on my cheek. It was cold. I adjust the heat of the room. It was freezing outside so I have to give her warmth.

I had fallen asleep again while my other arm is hugging her waist. I was holding her hand over my cheek to give her heat.

'Ves...' someone shakes my shoulder. I open one eye to see who it is. It was my sister. 'It's already eight in the evening. You should eat your dinner. Here, I had to cook you dinner before my shift.' She had already settled it on the table. She's a sweet and caring sister. She is even taking care of me when I got drunk.

'Thanks...' I smiled at her.

'Okay, eat all of it. You have to eat a lot. You know that. Then, I will come back tomorrow to see everything here.'

'Okay, thanks, sis.'

'For you, baby bro... everything.' She patted my head. Then she exits the room.

I had eaten dinner that my sister cooked for me. It was delicious and very healthy.

I pull my phone when King Nathan is calling me. I answer it and walk to the window and watch the snow as it rains outside.

'Nate?'

'Hey, how are you?'

'Well, same as the other day.'

'She's still sleeping? Christmas is in three days. She should not spend her days with those souls.'

'I know...'

Minerva is in a deep sleep. Her soul is not here, but her body is here. Clarisa told me that she's above talking with the Gods.

'But at Christmas, you have to be here. Zoë is throwing a party...'

'She always wanted to throw a party. I am still glad that she isn't throwing you out. I mean you pissed her a lot.' Yes. They are so sweet to each other but Nathan keeps on peeving her about how she tried to make a dress like Enchantress does for her.

'She can't resist me... you know that I'm hot, sexy, and irresistible.'

'Okay! Hand's up King Nathan.'

'But seriously, dude. You should wake up Sleeping Beauty. She's sleeping too long, and we need her here in the palace. Keynes had detected that lots of Seferis's army had escaped. We don't know where their compound is.'

'Okay... I know! But let's cut it off for now. Can I have some time with her alone?'

'You have been with her in a month!'

'I know, but she's unconscious. I can't even talk to her and walk with her...'

'Okay, lover boy. But it's up to Minerva. You know she's into her duty.'

'I'll talk to you later. I can sense that you can't wait on getting naked with the Queen.'

'Hahaha... funny, bro! She's the one who can't wait. She keeps seducing me...' then there's something happening on the other line. 'Love... wait... I'm still on the phone.'

'Don't you like what I'm wearing?'

'Practically, you don't wear anything...' geez. Seriously? Is it necessary that I have to hear them about that?

'Goodbye, Nate! Have great sex!' then I hang up. I sighed in front of the glass.

I looked at my mate who is still sleeping. I sat beside her, caressing her soft hair.

'Mate... wake up, please... They need you... I need you...'

All I know is I fall asleep again on the chair with my right arm wrapped around her waist, and my cheek pressed on the mattress. Then her right hand is over my other side of the cheek holding it.

Something had waked me up. I stopped when I feel and saw her hand moving over my cheek. I lifted my head and sat up looking at her. Her eyes are openly looking straight to the ceiling. I stood and bent over her caressing her cheek.

'Minerva...' she looked at me straight into my eyes without any emotions while I was happy, and my eyes are sparkling to see her awake.
