She can't let it ruin her. So what if he was an Alpha? She didn't see him as that when they were making love. He recalled the way he was handling her the night before. It was very gentle. He treated her like the woman she was and was more gentle and patient the moment he knew she was still a virgin. If he really wanted to desert her, why would he bother to touch her in the first place?

What was he doing on the field?

She had lots of questions all over her head as she struggled to come to a conclusion.

"Selene you should go to sleep okay," Sia said to Selene as it was already late.

"I don't care Sia I think I want to do this," she said out of nowhere.

"Selene it's obvious you aren't thinking straight. You know what? Stay in my room tonight. By the time you wake up, you will be fine." she said to her but Selene wouldn't listen.

"I want to see him. Since he is the Alpha, let's storm his palace. I just want to see him one more time. It doesn't matter." Selene insisted.

"Fine. How about we take the risk and visit tomorrow morning? I can't leave you to go alone. I don't trust them." Sia agreed.

At that moment, it felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off Selene's shoulders. Gap oily, she nodded her head and laid on Sia's bed to sleep.

All through the night. Selene only dreamt about the man she had a one-night stand with and fantasized about being with him forever after meeting him again.

The next morning, Sia and Selene got dressed. All the while, sia's heartbeat was going very fast. When she looked at Selene, it felt as though she was the only one worried about going to that palace. She had heard so many weird things about that place and had no idea what to say to change Selene's mind.

Convincing herself that at the end of the day, they would be fine and wouldn't be hurt, Sia felt better and then took Selene into a commercial car as they headed to the palace.

On their way, Selene was so happy as she smiled all through the journey meanwhile for Sia it was the direct opposite with all her guards up.

Soon, the car they got in arrived at the front gate of the Palace of Shadow Pack and stopped.

They came down and Sia paid the man to wait for them for an extra hour.

Sia headed to the gate and knocked gently on it. Immediately,  a security guard opened it and came out to speak to her.

"Who are you?" the omega said to her.

"My name is Sia. This is my sister. Her name is Selene."

"Why are you here?"

"We are here to see the Alpha!" Sia said to the guard and the guard laughed at how clueless he felt they were.

Who told them they could see the Alpha just because they wanted to? He thought.

"The alpha can't be seen now," he replied them.

"What do you mean he can't be seen? He is a werewolf just like us and we are all equal. I need to see him. Please call him out." Selene said, clearly losing her patience.

Sia got scared and stylishly pinched her, trying to tell her not to cross the line.

"Shut your mouth before I teach you a lesson." the guard warned her but seeing as Selene was about to unleash fury in her, he thought he needed help, so he opened the hate and tried to go in to call someone else but what happened next shocked both Siaand the guard.

Selene pushed the gate harder and badged into the palace without prior warning.

"Stop!" the guard yelled as he chased after her

"Selene please stop. Wait, Selene!" Sia shouted but Selene wasn't willing to listen to any. Sia entered the palace with shock in her heart as she tried to get to Selene but by then, they had already created a scene in the palace as other omegas stopped what they were doing to watch the drama that was unfolding.

Selene didn't mind and kept running. They were already close to the main building itself and it freaked other guards that feared losing their jobs and they joined in chasing Selene as they wondered who Selene was.

How could someone be so fearless?

Alpha Ethan was at the top balcony sipping some coffee when he noticed a scene going on close to the garden. He stood up, one hand in his pocket and the other one holding the coffee as he moved away from his seat and walked closer to the railings.

He could see a young beautiful woman running while others chased after her.

Using the mind link, he contacted his beta and asked him to go check what was going on. After that, he went back to his seat and sat down.

One thing was for sure, those guards would lose their jobs if she managed to come into his mansion.

Beta Joe headed out the moment he got the signal. The moment Selene saw the beta, she was forced to stop and fear gripped her at first.

The others that were pursuing her paused when they also got to the beta.

"What is going on here?" Beta Joe asked them, a bit confused.

"I don't know who she is. She is determined to meet with Alpha Ethan. I promise I tried to stop her." the guard at the gate tried to clear his name.

"Young lady, who are you?" Beta Joe asked Selene.

"My name is Selene. I want to see Ethan," she said to him and Beta Joe froze.

"Address my Alpha with respect. You aren't a member of his family," he said to her in a harsh tone and Sia felt worried for her friend.

"He told him he was Ethan. There was no Alpha involved until I figured it out myself."

    Is this true?” Joe turned to the guard.“I don’t know, sir. She came in demanding to see the Alpha,” the guard responded, glancing nervously at Selene.“Please, it’s important. I need to speak with him,” Selene insisted, her eyes pleading.Beta Joe sighed, considering. “Stay here,” he commanded, then used the mind link to inform Ethan of the situation.A few moments later, Ethan appeared at the entrance, his imposing figure casting a long shadow. The guards and omegas instinctively stepped back, creating a path for him.“What’s all this commotion about?” Ethan’s voice was calm but authoritative.Selene’s heart raced.

He knew this situation required careful handling. He needed to talk to Bella, his Beta and cousin, who had always been a trusted advisor.Bella entered the study a few minutes later, her expression serious. “Ethan, what happened? I heard there was quite a commotion.”Ethan sighed, rubbing his temples. “Selene showed up, demanding to see me.”Bella raised an eyebrow. “Selene? The woman from that night?”“Yes,” Ethan admitted, his voice heavy with resignation.Bella sat down across from him, her eyes narrowing. “What did she want?”“She wanted answers. She’s been restless since that night, and she needed to understand why I left her a letter and money,” Ethan explained, his voice betraying a hint of frustration.Bella frowned. “And what did you tell her?”“I tried to explain that it was a mistake, that I have

The driver, sensing the gravity of their mood, drove silently, glancing occasionally in the rearview mirror.Selene stared out the window, her thoughts swirling. “I can’t believe I actually saw him,” she finally said, breaking the silence.Sia sighed, her worry evident. “I can’t believe you pushed past the guards. That was reckless, Selene.”“I know,” Selene admitted, her voice soft. “But I had to see him. I needed to understand.”Sia shook her head, her expression a mix of concern and frustration. “And did you? Do you understand now?”Selene nodded slowly. “He’s conflicted. He didn’t expect any of this. I could see it in his eyes. He’s trying to protect the pack.”“And what about you?” Sia asked, her tone softer now. “What are you going to do?”“I don’t know,” Selene said, her voice trembling. “I feel something for him, but I don’t want to cause trouble for him or the pack.”Sia reached over and took Selene

    Ethan sat in his study, staring out the window at the sprawling grounds of the palace. His thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a woman strolling through the garden below. She was one of the pack members, a healer named Lila, who had always caught his eye. Her grace and poise were captivating, and for a moment, he allowed himself to be lost in admiration.“Ethan,” Bella’s voice cut through his reverie, pulling him back to reality. She entered the room with a determined look. “We need to talk about Selene.”Ethan’s expression hardened. “There’s nothing to talk about, Bella. What happened with Selene was a one-time thing. It meant nothing.”Bella frowned, clearly not convinced. “It meant nothing? Ethan, she stormed the palace just to see you. You can’t dismiss her feelings like that.”He stood up, his frustration evident. “I don’t have time for this, Bella. I have responsibilities, a pack to lead. Selene is just a distraction.”Bella stepped closer, her eyes searching his. “You’re

    As Selene's days grew more complicated, her body began to betray her secret. It started with nausea in the mornings, but soon she found herself rushing to the bathroom at all hours. The sickness was relentless, and it wasn't long before her parents noticed.One evening, as she sat at the dinner table, her mother’s concerned eyes met hers. “Selene, you haven’t been yourself lately. Are you feeling alright?”Selene hesitated, her fork hovering over her plate. “I’m fine, just a little tired,” she lied.Her father, always the more observant, narrowed his eyes. “This tiredness, is it why you’ve been so sick in the mornings?”Selene's heart pounded. She had hoped to keep her symptoms hidden until she figured things out with Ethan, but now it seemed impossible. She swallowed hard and nodded.Her mother’s face softened with worry. “Selene, if there’s something you need to tell us, you know we’re here for you.”But it was her father’s voice, stern and unyielding, that cut through the air. “Who

    As the days stretched into weeks, Selene's attempts to reach Ethan grew more desperate. Each time she and Sia approached the palace gates, they were met with the same unwavering refusal from the guards.“We told you before,” one of the guards said firmly, “the Alpha has made it clear. You are not to enter.”“But it’s important,” Sia pleaded, frustration evident in her voice. “She needs to speak with him.”The guard shook his head. “I’m sorry. The orders are strict. No visitors.”Selene clenched her fists, fighting back tears of frustration. “Please,” she implored, “just let us in. It’s urgent.”The guard’s expression softened slightly, but his resolve remained firm. “I can’t. I’m sorry.”Defeated once again, Selene and Sia turned away, their hearts heavy with disappointment. They walked back home in silence, the weight of their situation pressing down on them.---Meanwhile, in his study, Ethan listened as the guards reported the latest attempt by Selene and Sia to gain entry.

It was as if the wolf inside her sensed the turmoil and responded with aggression.One evening, as she sat at the dinner table, the anger bubbled up unexpectedly. Her father, ever the stern figure, pushed her again for answers. "Selene, I won't ask again. Who is the werewolf responsible for this? You can't keep hiding the truth from us."Selene's eyes flashed with a golden hue, a sign of her werewolf side coming to the surface. "I told you, Father, I need time," she snapped, her voice tinged with a low growl."Time? You've had enough time!" her father retorted, slamming his fist on the table. "You're putting this family in danger with your secrecy."Her mother stepped in, her tone soothing but firm. "Henry, please, she'

    Back at Alpha Ethan's palace, tensions were running high. Ethan had grown increasingly irritable and unpredictable, his frustration boiling over into his interactions with those around him. His cousin Bella, who had been persistently questioning him about Selene, found herself on the receiving end of his anger."I don't want to hear another word about Selene," Ethan growled, his eyes blazing with barely controlled fury. "You are forbidden from seeing me until I say otherwise. Guards, ensure that Bella does not enter my study or my room under any circumstances."The guards exchanged uneasy glances but nodded in compliance. Bella, shocked and hurt, stared at Ethan, unable to comprehend his drastic change. "Ethan, this isn't you. You're pushing everyone away."Ethan's gaze hardened. "Leave, Bella. Now."Reluctantly, Bella turned and walked away, her heart heavy with worry and confusion. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong with Ethan, something beyond his frustr

    ---Ethan’s body shuddered as he leaned against the cold stone wall of his study. The isolation and stress were taking their toll, and he felt a fever building within him. His vision blurred, and he stumbled, catching himself on the edge of his desk. The sickness gnawed at his strength, weakening him in a way he hadn’t felt in years."Bella," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper. "I need Bella."Within minutes, Bella arrived, her face a mask of concern. "Ethan!" she exclaimed, rushing to his side. "You look terrible. What's happening?""It's...it's something inside me," Ethan said, his voice weak. "I can't fight it alone."Bella's eyes widened, recognizing the signs of a werewolf sickness, a rare but severe ailment. She called for Connor and the others, who quickly assembled in the study. "We need the werewolf treatment now," Bella ordered. "Bring the herbs and prepare the ritual."Connor nodded and hurried away, returning moments later with a small group carrying bowls of herbs, s

    We need a barrier to protect our camp," Henry said as they approached the witch's dwelling deep in the forest. The witch, an old ally of the pack, greeted them with a knowing smile."I can create a barrier that will keep the humans out," she said, her voice a blend of wisdom and power. "But it will require a significant amount of energy.""Do whatever it takes," Henry insisted. "We can't let this happen again."The witch nodded and began her incantations, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. A shimmering barrier slowly enveloped the camp, its glow fading as it settled into place."This will protect you," the witch said, her eyes locking onto Henry's. "But I will come with you to face the hunters. My powers can dismantle their weapons and give you the advantage you need."Henry agreed, grateful for her support.

    As the night wore on, the house was eerily quiet. The aftermath of the attack left the Reynolds' home in shambles, but the resolve of its inhabitants was unbroken. They gathered in the living room, strategizing their next move."We need to find out where they're taking Mom," Selene said, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her. "There has to be a way to track them."Henry nodded. "We'll start with the local hunters' network. They must have a base or a hideout nearby.""I'll reach out to some of our allies," Sia added. "There are packs who owe us favors. They might have information."Selene's eyes burned with determination. "We're not stopping until we bring her home."As the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, the Reynolds and Sia set their plan into motion, driven by a fierce love and an unbreakable bond.

    The moon cast a silver glow over the Reynolds' house as the family settled in for the night. Inside, the atmosphere was thick with unspoken tension. Selene's father, Henry, paced the living room, his thoughts troubled by the recent events. Elizabeth, her mother, tried to keep a brave face, but the worry lines etched into her features betrayed her inner turmoil.Selene lay in bed, her mind racing. She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled over her since her encounter with the hunter in the woods. She had let him go, but the look of hatred in his eyes haunted her. She felt her baby stir within her, a reminder of the life she was carrying and the danger they faced.A sudden crash from downstairs jolted her from her thoughts. Her heightened senses detected unfamiliar scents and the sound of footsteps. Selene's heart pounded as she leaped from her bed, shifting into her werewolf form. She moved silently down the hall, her claws barely making a sound on the wooden floor.Hen
