Chapter 15
Axel's POVMy mate's lips were plump and soft. The moment my lips and hers met, I couldn't quite get enough of it. 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 toChapter 16Axel's POV "Zip it", I glared at my friend who seemed all too invested in the drama called my life. "How, by the goddess name, did your mate somehow end up as your brother's bride to be?", he shook his head, probably attempting to grasp the gravity of the situation. "Tell me about it", I pressed my eyelids in frustration, puffing a breath out. Blake moved to the edge of the couch, using his knees to prop his arms as he leaned towards me. "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 19Selena's POV I looked up to the sky and silently cursed the moon goddess at her not so great sense of humor. She must be having a field day, making me meet with the second person out of the three I was avoiding. First, it was Axel, now Cecelia. What? Perhaps I'd meet Asher right after this. Cecelia seemed to read the look of annoyance and part resentment directed towards her but she did an excellent job of pretending everything was just peachy. "Hey Sylvia", she threw a small wave at me, a huge smile lighting up her face. Anyone may just fall for the she-devil's smile but I was immune to it. It had been a few weeks, getting to a whole month of living here and somehow, she never heard my name correctly? Yeah, fat chance. She must've known how much I absolutely despised how she twists my name to suit her phonetic mood. Yet, she does it regardless. "It's Selena", my flat voice corrected. Lily had
Chapter 20I laid on my back, hands pinned to my sides by Axel. This was a terrible idea but my body thrummed in anticipation. Axel's eyes were filled with raw desire, making my breath hitch. He slowly let go of my hands, moving to my sleeping robe. He pulled the rope once, and I watched as it came undone. I only wore a pair of plain lace panties and bra under it but when Axel moved an inch away to get a wider view, his eyes trailed my body like they were the most beautiful thing he had ever laid his eyes on. "Fucking beautiful", he muttered, more to himself than to me. Next, he slowly pulled my panties down, the action torturously slow that I wriggled, speeding up the process. He threw it to the side, finally catching my eyes. "Keep your hands where they are", he instructed. I nodded, not trusting my voice. Seeming satisfied with my answer, I felt his hand move to my already wet clit, circling it slowly.
Chapter 21Selena's POV I visited the gym again the next day, and as expected, Gretchen was already there. She didn't look any different from the last time I saw her, she still had that same raw power aura, the anger, and stern expression. As I said, no difference. "Gretchen", I exclaimed, watching as Lily slapped her forehead from my peripheral vision. If Gretchen had chosen to ignore my existence, I might just act like we had been long time friends just catching up and reuniting. If there was an award for the coldest person in the room, and probably the entire pack house, I would bet all my non-existent fortune that Gretchen would take the prize home.She ignored me, throwing punch after punch to the poor bag. "You know how we were talking the other day and you rushed out because you were so busy?", I questioned rhetorically. "Well, we can continue the conversation today"She didn't falter in her pu
Chapter 22Selena's POV Although it was daytime, the room was dark courtesy of the thick curtains that allowed the most minimal amount of sunlight stream in. I easily recognised the body sprawled on the couch as Axel. What was he doing here asleep? Is he sick? No. Doesn't seem right. He is an Alpha, a measly illness wouldn't faze him, heck it'd barely affect him. I carefully moved closer, taking extra care in my steps to prevent jerking him awake from his peaceful slumber. Up close, he seemed like an ordinary person. The hard set of his jaw, and permanent scowl on his face had disappeared, replaced by a devilishly handsome, unsuspecting individual. I was almost tempted to reach out. Smiling to myself, I finally reached out to his face, tracing his features on thin air, a hair's breadth from touching his skin. Too engrossed in my task, I was stunned when he gripped my hand before I had a clear chance to think, suspe
Chapter 23Selena's POV Regardless of the explanation, I still had a hard time understanding why Axel and Blake had expressions of dread on their faces as they talked about the Alpha Crane. "Well, is there something wrong for him to be the Alpha of all those rogue wolves?Rogue wolves had no true Alpha but they appointed a werewolf whom they deemed fit enough to lead them. Rogue wolves were the worst. Rejected from their packs and cursed to wander forever without a mate, their lives could be characterized as nothing short of hell. Some were remorseful about their past deeds, most were not. "Is he that scary", I broke the tense silence that descended in our small group. No one made a move to answer as each was lost in thought. Suddenly, Axel shrugged. "I can easily take him on", he assured. I had a feeling there was more to the talk that I was still unaware of. "So why are you both scare
