Chapter 10

Selena's POV

Asher was leaning against his desk, his sleeve rolled up to his elbow and a few buttons left open. His hands were crossed, revealing the veins that trailed the length of his arm. Asher's face didn't portray any emotions that even as I stepped in, he simply stared.

The confidence which I gathered pathetically before walking in was slowly waning due to his lack of action or perhaps, attention. The situation didn't look any better than it did a few days back. Even without Cecelia hanging by his arm, the effect was still the same. I still felt like nothing more than a desperate leech vying for his stupid attention. It was demeaning, not that I had any sense of self worth in the beginning.

Asher finally stirred from his position, straightening himself to his full height as he began his strides towards me. I wanted an escape, needed to disappear or tear this stupid dress from my body.

    Chapter 11Selena's POV Omegas were weak, spineless pups. Gammas were stronger, faster, better. They were not as good as the Alpha, not even close, but they were at least ten times better than the omegas in almost all, if not, everything. So, the million dollar question was, how foolish could an Omega be to attack a Gamma? Probably as foolish as I am. Cecelia leapt out of the way effortlessly before I could grab her, or better still, scratch her pretty little face. She landed perfectly on her feet, her movements lithe and graceful. I could feel my wolf, powerless but present regardless. "You don't want to do this, sweetheart", Cecelia singsonged, using the same nickname. If looks could kill, my glare was like that of a month old kitten. Either way, I refused to let myself be deterred as I sized her up. She looked completely at ease, like I was so insignificant to even be considered a threat. Without thoug

    Chapter 12Selena's POV "Why are you upset, Selena?"Axel questioned, Folding his arms across his chest. It took a while to distract my brain from the searing pain and sick sound of bones snapping into place, but after it passed, only a tingling feeling remained. I was glaring daggers at the side of Axel's head, wishing he could combust into ashes right in front of me. "I'm not upset", my voice came out defensive. "I just do not have the energy to deal with whatever you have to say right now, so leave"For now, the embarrassment from the fight, no, from the merciless beating from Cecelia still hadn't quite settled although I knew it was only a matter of time before it did. At this moment, I'd use the last shred of my dignity to rebel against my mate. "Clearly, you are", Axel looked up, his eyes catching mine. "So tell me Selena. I mean, if you had the guts to speak to Cecelia and go as far as picking a fight then sur

    Chapter 13Selena's POV The moment our lips crashed, I knew I was a goner. This was one of those instances where it was inevitable that the particular memory would be forever ingrained in your brain, like a scar that wouldn't just go away. But this was a beautiful scar. I'd heard tales, watched countless movies that described the feeling of that first kiss. My first kiss with Ethan was awkward, our teeths knocked together and we weren't quite in sync. Eventually, it became natural and the butterflies in my belly always fluttered at the thought of kissing him. But the kiss with Axel was different. There weren't butterflies but a fucking stampede. Axel kissed me hungrily like I was his only source of oxygen, his hands were everywhere , in my hair, on my thighs, then my back, my neck, my face, until I was nothing but a pile of mush at his mercy. Our lips danced, until he had my lower lip between his teeth, tugging slightly. I parted my l

    Chapter 14Selena's POV Was it a good idea to walk in to Asher and confess my promiscuous act? Probably not. But I hated cheaters. Was I any different from Ethan and Elsa? Maybe not. I was pretty decent but one indecent act actually can lead to a whole lot of crazy events. And I loathed drama. This was the second time I would be entering the same cursed office two times in a row. I wasn't too keen but I also knew this is where Asher must be spending his time. I wonder how Asher would feel when I tell him about Axel and I. Surely he'd understand. Axel was my mate and it wasn't an easy feat to push aside the attraction and crazy chemistry between two wolves bonded by the moon goddess herself. It was like trying to swim against the currents in an ocean. Almost impossible. I knew I may not be able to muster the same courage which I was marching with currently hence the need to get this over and done with. So I prayed d

The more I kissed her, I wanted her closer, I craved to have my body fill hers until we were molded together. The kiss ended a bit too soon. I found myself smiling. "Alpha?", my beta nudged me subtly. I turned to him, seeing a couple more eyes staring at me. "I'm listening. Continue", I urged. A patrol guard in charge of others resumed his talk. "The rogue activities seem to face a recent spike in the past three months", he frowned. "We have tried suppressing more fights here, here and over there", he used a red marker to circle the areas. "So far, it's been successful but we have no idea what they are after""So you're saying that no other area has faced these attacks, except the ones you just listed?""Yes Alpha"I stared at the map, trying to

"Well, does she know?", his eyes were filled with curiosity. "And what was her reaction?""She knows", I stated. "But she's not too happy with the situation though. She feels it's unfair that I wouldn't let her go yet I still handed her over to my brother""Technically, you did""Can you stop?", I chided him. "I already feel terrible about this but you're making it worse""Fine", Blake raised his arms in surrender. He eyed me carefully, gauging

    Chapter 17Axel's POV I was growing frustrated at the fact that I had no idea why Selena behaved in such a manner. She was bolder this time, different in a hot kind of way but as upset with me as she was the first time we met. "Selena", I pounded at the locked door, dissatisfied when I couldn't hear shuffling of feet or the slightest action that indicated her interest in speaking to me. "Come on, at least explain to me why you're upset"Still, silence met me at the other end. Groaning, I turned to leave only to see someone standing at the end of the hallway. Cecelia.The moment our eyes locked, she smirked before strutting towards me, her heels loud in the quiet hallway. Cecelia came to a stop a few feet from me, too close for comfort hence I took a step back in retaliation. "What are you doing here?", I questioned, boredom already filling my voice. She hated when I did that. Perhaps she was alrea

    Chapter 18 Selena's POV I've managed to successfully avoid Cecelia, Asher and most importantly, Axel for the past few days without a single hitch. But when Axel decided to show up in my room while I slept, now that made me freak out a tad bit. After he left, I did feel guilty by my cold demeanor but not by a lot. Axel deserves it. Besides, I had every justification to be mad at him when he made me kiss him like that knowing I was his brother's fiancée. Deep, deep down, I knew we were both to blame equally but for the sake of my anger, I'd pin it all on him. After slamming the door in his face, I didn't hear his receding footsteps until after not less than twenty minutes. He was having a conversation with someone on the other end of the door but I couldn't make out the voice, nor could I narrow it down to whether it was a lady or a man. "Oh, you're dressed", Lily's voice sounded breathless. It was obvious she ran all the way here. "Sorry, I overslept", she bowed her hea

    Chapter 140 Axel's POV I walked out of the pack house and into the expanse of land now littered with my pack members. They were in little groups, talking amongst themselves in hushed whispers. When they noticed my presence, they immediately fell silent, looking up at me with expectant faces. The last time I stood before them, we were on the verge of making the most important decision of the pack. I've never felt so much appreciation for that day than at this point. More and more werewolves gathered and I leapt onto the elevated stage, facing them. "Night Reapers, it has come to my notice that the pack, Blood Red, has fallen." The whispers rose once more and with a lift of my hand, they were silenced. "You've seen the commotion outside the gates. Those are from the survivors of the pack. They've come to us for help", I paused, surprised that no one said a word. "Now, I bring the decision to your table. What do we do?" The question spurred them into action, some yelled that

    Chapter 139 Selena's POV It took two months and five days before we heard any news about the packs. Technically, we heard news of progression and the added advantages the alliance offered to those packs, virtually every Alpha was involved except ours. As far as I was concerned, we were officially cut off. The strategy put in place by Axel worked. We had food, water and basically everything we needed within the pack. It made things considerably easier. No one complained and as days passed, more werewolves came forward as volunteers. Soon, we extended our little plan in agriculture to other aspects, like furniture making, fabric design and then, no distant time I was setting we were making waves. Orion and Zephyr were growing up quickly. Werewolves always had a weird aging style. We grow up quickly, then remain almost dormant before we begin aging slowly. Lily's presence was difficult to come by. She was mostly invested in Blake and I'd be honest when I say that their relati

Today was the day we were expecting the Alphas and to say the atmosphere was more than tense was an understatement. Axel had come clean to the pack, revealing the details of the visit to every member. He also told them about his decision and gave everyone the chance to either counter his decision or agree with him.Most of them agreed, the few that thought it was reckless were soon convinced that Axel was making the right choice. He gave them his reasons. Then, the topic of how we were going to generate incomes for ourselves even after we cut ourselves off from the other packs arose and Axel gave them the stellar idea on agriculture. The farmers came forward, pledging to give their all while some volunteered to help. By the time dawn broke, we were prepared. As prepared as we could be. "You ready?"

It was a miracle it hadn't leaped out of his hand and to an unlucky person's face. "Can you let it go, honey?", I coaxed. Orion stared at me with a sad look. "But why?", he whined. "It can be my pet."Except, werewolves don't keep pets. Our wolves were like pets, but on a way deeper level. It was part of us. "No. It can't."We were in a staring contest for at least thirty seconds before he finally gave in. "Whatever", he tossed the frog aside and it landed right on Lily's lap. Before I could react, Lily let out a loud scream. It echoed throughout the clearing and was just about to tear my sensitive eardrums.

Axel and I focused on nothing else but ourselves and the kids. We had a family day out, of course Blake and Lily decided to tag along and we held a little picnic just for ourselves. Truth was, it was inevitable that Axel would have to give his reply concerning the alliance bug for now, it felt much better to simply live in our own bubble. Orion and Zephyr were bickering on the color of the sky while I lay on the blanket, my eyes shut as I basked in the warm sun. "I can't believe you", Lily was speaking, throwing a punch at Blake. I could tell when he muttered a low 'ouch'."It's serious though", Blake was trying to say. I had tuned out of most of the conversation and the one I had managed to catch snippets of didn't make any sense. I pried my eyelids open, scanning for Axel as he had been awfully quiet. His back was turned to

    Chapter 135 Selena's POV "What?", I echoed, the sound loud enough that it bounced off all the walls. "An alliance?" Axel expected my reaction as he barely even reacted to my shrill. I'm certain I had alerted at least half of the staff members. "I thought so too", Axel stated blandly. I rifled through my head, searching for anything that made sense. An alliance between werewolves is nearly impossible, if not completely. That's the reason why it didn't happen, ever. It was way too risky and if not careful could cause war between packs. If Alpha Boris was proposing an alliance and the rest of the Alphas agreed with him, he was either very stupid or desperate. But, what for? "An alliance is...impossible." "I thought so too", he echoed, and I threw him a glare. "Are you even listening?", I asked. "Yes." But I co

Their eyes scanned the crowd for a few seconds before they resumed their walk, soon standing in front of Axel and I.If Axel felt nervous, he didn't show it. His face was set in a stiff position as he watched them in return."What a pleasant surprise", he stated, his voice anything but pleasant or surprised. One of the Alphas chuckled, his eyes twinkling in amusement. "Thank you, Alpha Axel", he bowed, a motion which can barely be considered a bow but sufficient enough to pass as one. "What brings you here?", Axel asked, his brows creased as he stared at them all. "I wasn't aware of your visit.""And yet...", the werewolf gestured around him. "There's an entire group waiting.""Information tends to reach us quickly."The werewolf seemed more amused than offended as

I was just being silly. Before Blake could answer, we heard the shuffling of feet outside the door but the thing is, there was more to it than just the occasional movement. They seemed more than panicked. Lily, Blake and I exchanged confused looks before we hopped up, rushing towards the door. My mind drifted to the kids first, knowing Axel would be able to take care of himself. "What's happening?"Blake asked a maid rushing away but she seemed to be too much in her panicked state to realize who was

And I hope you'll suffer for as long as possible for the penance of your wickedness. I hope the world becomes a living hell for you and I hope you never find peace."The cell door creaked open, and my stepmother stepped out, her lips and brows turned down and her neck bent. "Forg...""Letting you go doesn't mean I think of you in a better light than I used to.
