Blake's POV
I was unable to stay asleep for most of the night. Selene kept stirring and talking in her sleep. How can someone become such a big part of your life, to an extend that you want to do everything in your power to protect them? She means so much to me. It makes me cringe at the thought she may be in any danger, or that she'd get hurt.
Even when I treat her like shit, even when I'm acting like an asshole with her, she shows me compassion and love. She has taught me to be calm, to quiet the storm in me, when I feel like running out and ripping everybody's head off.
She turns her body close to me, her hair partially covering her face. I run my fingers softly through her hair, making her sigh as she feels my hand caressing her softly, tucking a lose strand behind her ear.
My mind wonders off to the first day I realized she was the one I wanted as a mate. I begged the moon goddess for her, every night sin

Ready to fight.James held his Luna, pulling her behind him. Hoping she wouldn't suffer any harm from the attack.One by one, of the warriors from the Crescent Moon closed the circle around them. They sneered and growled as they readied for combat. Unaware of who Selene was, unaware of who James was....unaware of the true background of who Blake is! The heir to the Primordial wolves. The strongest, ruthless, most aggressive wolves in all existence. Will they
Selene's POVThe whole ride home had been bitter sweet. Silent, awkward, and melancholic. If I felt bad before, I felt even worse now.The thrice alliance was broken, a pack was left without an Alpha because of me; and to top it off... I had foolishly been lied to, by whom I thought was my best friend. She didn't just lie to me, but she had broken my brother's heart.... or so it seemed.My mind kept turning inside me.... there's just so much shit I don't quite comprehend right now. One, Blake lied to me.... he said he'd waited for my return all this time. Yet I come here to find myself getting into a little quarrel with this dumb female. Two, why wasn't my brother Tyler affected by the breakage of his mate bond with Jazmin?Three, I'm hurt, and I'm pissed that my so called mother is not my mother after all. Yet I'm the daughter of Carol Dianne Slate, heir to the powers bestowed by the one and only Artemis, the
Blake's POVIt would be impossible for me to continue with my plans if I kept her in the shadows. The fact I'm keeping so much shit from her, is eating at me.Making my own damn words itch at me from when I told her to quit keeping secrets from me. I made her promise to never hide things from me, yet I have so many hidden things from her.Two years before she returned, I found out that a top warrior from the Crescent Moon pack had passed away while she was supposed to be off in college. I would be lying if I said it didn't scare me. Millions of thoughts went through my mind, what if that happened to my mate?That's when I knew something was not right. I took advantage of an invitation the Crescent Moon's new Alpha had made us. I had already met Tasha by then. We had just talked once back then. But I used the fact she was attracted to me to my advantage.I seduced h
Selene's POV Blake continued to talk on the phone. He quickly changed and asked me to stay in the room."Baby I gotta work this matter with my Delta and my top trackers. Please! Stay put until I get back. I'll get Tyler back safe and sound... I promise." He cupped my face, and gave me a kiss on the lips before turning on his heel and leaving.AS IF!! This was my brother we're talking about.I was extremely enraged. The love and care I had for Jaz before, was vastly different now. In just a few weeks she managed to awaken an anger in me I didn't know I had. When I find her, and I get my hands on her; I will make her regret ever messing with Tyler Slate.&
Selene’s POVI woke up with the sun rays hitting my face. Though I laid in the shade, my face still felt the warmth of the alluring sunrays peaking through the branches of the trees surrounding me.I realized I laid on my stomach on top of a blanket, on top of me was a thin sheet covering me from mid back and down.I have no idea how I got here, nor how did I end up being covered. Thankfully as I glanced around, I realized I was close to where I had left my clothes, right before I shifted and let Hazel take over.I heard a foot stir in the ground and the breaking of a small branch. It startled me at first, but his sweet smell told me I was in no trouble at all. I turned slowly to look
Third Person POVTyler sat on an old rugged chair. His head hung low, and hands tied to the back of the chair with silver shackles that weakened him a bit.Though the room was fairly lit with the moon light, he was unable to see a thing from the blind fold. His body full of all the lingering sweat and blood his body was covered in, making him rather uncomfortable. This was evidence his body had been harshly beaten countless times and was making him angry just to think of it.Acting vulnerable was never his thing. But if he had to trick them into taking them down, he had to play his part. He just hoped help came soon.Silence lingered in the air. He had excellent hearing, due to the numerous hours Blake obliged him to practice with a blindfold. He c
Third Person POV A black SUV comes to a sudden halt in front of an old shack. The dim light turns on inside, and an old man with a body length walking stick comes out. His eyes are white matching his head full of slivered hair, midback length.He wears an old dark gray robe and slips his flip flops on to step outside."Blake son! Is that you?" The old wolf says.The SUV door opens and Blake makes his way out wearing combat uniform, matching with the uniforms his warriors wear."Grandpa... it's me!" Blake responds the old wolf."I knew it. I could smell you a mile away. M
Third Person POVSelene had fallen asleep after countless times trying to bust the window bars open. After a few hours, she had no longer cared the silver bars were burning her skin. All she wanted was to run to his side. She tried hitting it with her feet, pushing the damn bars with her bare hands. Pinning her entire body against the bars....nothing worked!Eight long and excruciating hours had gone by. Her mind was a complete whirl of torment. She was determined, and she was far from giving up. But all her efforts and frustration were beginning to wear her out. The tears in her eyes kept pouring out, relentlessly staining her cheeks, all the way to her shirt. Her hair sticking to her face, moistened by her tears."Fuck!!! Come on!!! Blake, please? You can't do this to me." She let her body fall on her knees, covering her face with the sides of her hands to muffle her cries.****
A beautiful girl with long blonde hair walks in the midst of a farmer's market wearing a long colorful boho maxi dress. She stops before a seller and picks up a large peach.She slowly glances over it and brings it forth to smell it. Unaware she is being watched.Blake, Selene, and Damian act naturally a few stands away. All three wearing sunglasses and summer clothes from how hot the weather has become."So, are you going to go talk to her?" Blake looks at Damian. Harous palms clammy, and her raising at a million per second."I am. I just. I'm waiting for the eight time. That's all!" He shrugs his shoulders, nervously looking at her through his glasses and turning away as she begins to walk closer.
"Hey Buddy! Where are you headed? It's a bit late don'tyou think? You should get some rest or, maybe I can get the ladies to grab youa bite to eat. I haven't seen you eat a single bite all week. You need to getsome food in your-""I'm not hungry. Just, leave me alone. I'm not in themood." Blake answers angrily in a low tone towards Harou."Blake. I know you miss her. We all do. But you gottarealize that she's gone Blake. There's nothing we can do. Rebecca and Tylerhave tried endlessly to bring her back, but it's useless. I'm really sorrybud-""I said leave me ALONE. Just let me be Harou. I'm notin the fucking mood." Blake sneers at Harou, his hands fisted, knuckleswhite. His eyes closed and head tilted towards the heavens."Why Harou? Why did it have to be her? That dagger wasaiming at me. I was supposed to protect her. I failed
Blake sits on his usual seat at his dinner table. His head hangs low and his hands pursed together on top if the table. Tears keep rolling down his eyes.It's been almost a week since she died, and nothing has been the same for anyone in their pack. Specially for Blake. His body went through the agony of their bond breaking, but though his body was in pain, it didn't surpass the pain his heart felt to know she was gone. He hated to admit she was no longer here, and every time someone told him maybe there's a chance for him to find a second chance mate, he'd go crazy. Outraged and furious to the sound of those words.The whole pack felt the sorrow of her lost. Everyone mourned in their own way.Blake was no exception. He's been locked in his room and only comes out at night to sit at his usual seat at the dinner table where he'd have dinner with her.He clenches his jaw. His heart filled not
Damian stands before them with anger and frustration in every inch of his body.He glares between everyone, unwilling to consider with their happy reunion and give way to the end of this battle.He made his mate a promise. And until he sees it for himself, he will not believe in any word they say. Assuring himself that the promise he made Emma has to stand. He will end Selene's life. Over and over again. Until he takes his last breath.Through the notion of Blake running to Selene, he dropped Selene's katana on the floor.He looks over towards Blake, noticing his dagger still tucked in on his back. He recalls the night he had it made. He had gone with Him to make it. Ironically made with the same materials and magic Selene's katana was made from, plus the enchantment specially performed by a great wizard friend of theirs.He remembers that dagger from the last time th
Carrie's sword ricochets back, sending her back and making her fall back. Her eyes widen in surprise. She glances back towards Selene's direction and her mouth gawks open in shock as she sees the glistened aura around Selene's body."You! How dare you intervene between Selene and me? I told you to take over her body if given the consequence of her having the upper hand on me. Not the other way around.""No more of this nonsense Carrie. I don't want to hurt you. End this quarrel, now. She's your own niece. You can't keep doing this! I won't let you. And I certainly will no longer help you." Her voice breaks for a mere moment. Fed up of putting Selene through many torturous events through their past."You will do as I say! Or I will put your ass back where you belong. Or would you rather I talk to my brother Hades? You'll be a great collection to the sma
Selene is startled by the sound of the siren. Her heartdrops and the color from her face fades rapidly from her, making her turncompletely pale. But she knows the drill, she can't afford to waste any time.She quickly helps James and Tasha take Hector out of the dungeons.In her mind she nervously tries to call out to Hazel, but tono avail. She senses the presence of Hazel, she's part of her after all. Butsomething is wrong, she can sense it. Time and time again she scurries andcalls out desperately to her wolf.They make it out of the building, and she fears as she seesher worst night mare become reality. Xander is in the middle of the field,fighting with numerous vampires. She's surprised to see a man fighting alonghis side. She can't help the feeling that she has seen th
Harou kneels down next to Blake. They hide behind a huge bush next to a few rocks piled together on top of a hill leading down to the old military barracks where Damian is hiding out, training his warriors." Alarick, are you sure this is what you want to do? Maybe we can just walk in there and talk to him. He has to reason with us over this matter. You two have to stop fighting this senseless battle. He has to know the truth about what happened."Blake closes his eyes, sighing deeply before turning before turning his body towards Harou."For the last time Harou, my name is no longer Alarick, it's Blake. And what makes you think he will care to listen to us? If all the things you said are true, than why would he listen to us now? It's been centuries since this battle st
Selene lays on her side on the bed shackled by her left foot to the bed on a long silver chain.She sighs and runs her hands through her face as she sits straight against the head board.Knock knockThe door creaks opens, Tasha slowly pokes her head in and smiles making Selene scrunch her face in disgust."What do you want? Traitor!" She questions as Tasha slowly comes in and sets a tray of food and a glass of water on the table by the door."I thought maybe you were getting hungry. You've been here for more than half a day. I know Damian likes to starve people, but I don't, ok!? so, I brought you a bite to eat, just in case you were hungry." She stares at Selene for a few seconds in silence before turning. She grasps the door knob and turns it before holding it slightly ajar to leave."Wait!" Selene calls out to her as she stands with her right foot

Little by little members of the pack begin to exit their tents and join the rest already outside.Rebecca herself is getting ready to go and talk to Selene, and ask her what their next move will be. The sun has not yet fully risen, but a few are already packing and gearing up for the battle they have been awaiting.A few howling are heard, startling Rebecca, though she's been around wolves for so long, she still can’t get used to their sudden howls. She turns quickly and exits her small tent. "Rebecca! Selene." A guard pants, running to her side."What
