Chapter 36Selena POV Elsa temporarily stopped her attacks, taken aback by my sudden agility. "What?"I wasted no time, running to her with a growl. The adrenaline woke my wolf as I felt her stir. For omegas, it was difficult to transform until the situation was dire like if I was on the brink of death. Now, I could feel a strange tingling sensation in my bones before I heard cracking. I was transforming to my wolf form?My skin itched and burned, and soon, I was covered in white fur. Elsa looked like she had seen a ghost. She recovered quickly though, transforming to a brown wolf. Her yellow wolf eyes revealed as much as her human eyes showed. The hot glare. Elsa attacked blindly first, simply leaping in my direction as I sidestepped her quickly. She snapped on thin air, landing effortlessly on her paws. Growling, she made another move to attack but I simply avoided it as easily. My sudden abilities surprised me. I could never outrun or maneuver through Elsa's attacks back home
Chapter 37Selena's POV Gretchen threw orders at me as I punched the bag violently. Sweet beaded my forehead, my bones groaned and my muscles hurt, still I couldn't stop. After the events of the previous day, my mind had been filled with different thoughts. I was scared, to be honest concerning what Axel might discover. "Stop", Gretchen ordered, forcing me to halt my assault on the punching bag. "What's wrong?", I panted out, attempting to even my breathing. "You're not focused, Selena", she frowned. After weeks of trailing after Gretchen like some lost puppy, she reluctantly agreed to train me, not due to my persistence but because my constant invasion of her space was slowly driving her to the brink of insanity. "I'm sorry", I apologized. "There's just been so much going on in my head""Then get your head straight. I can't keep training you if you aren't ready"Nodding, I took a large gulp of water before dabbing the sweat that had gathered on my forehead. "I'm ready", I poi
Chapter 38Unknown POV Ethan threw a punch to the mirror, hearing the satisfying crunch of bone and the shattering of glass. He took deep breaths, attempting to calm his heart from racing due to the anger. Elsa had ruined it all. That was supposed to be the perfect time to take Selena away from that rotten place but Elsa just had to spoil his plans. His bursted knuckles had shards of glasses embedded in his skin as blood dripped down and unto the white tiled floor but he could barely register the pain. His image was distorted as he stared into the cracked mirror now decorated with splashes of blood. He needed to think of something fast. Ethan growled, rubbing his face in frustration. There would be another time. He knew that. Another opportunity would present itself and he'd be ready when it did. **Elsa sighed, straightening herself from the large bed. She imagined Selena living in such luxury and that further angered her. Even her room wasn't half the size of this place and h
Chapter 39Selena's POV I made my way to Axel's room. It was almost a week now and Elsa was still in the pack house, strutting everywhere like she owned the place. It grew more upsetting when it was impossible to avoid her as I kept meeting her at every damn turn. Seeing Axel's face would calm my anger by a whooping eighty percent. He always had the most logical thing to say to me, always doing an amazing job in keeping my anger at bay, hence the reason why I was marching to him like the mad hatter.I didn't bother knocking, instead I pushed open the door, barging in. "Hey Axel", I began even before seeing him. He wasn't on the bed but movements on the couch caught my attention. I turned, feeling all the blood drain from my face.Elsa was straddling Axel whose face was away from my line of sight. He was shirtless but I didn't bother checking if he was also naked from his waist down. His hand clutched Elsa's bra strap as a smirk played on her lips. Elsa's eyes caught mine but she di
Chapter 40Selena's POV Lily simply stared. For a long time. "Come on, say something""Your mate is Axel as in Alpha Axel", she muttered out. "Yes. Alpha Axel", I bit my lips watching her expression. Lily let out a deep breath. "Umm. Okay. Not bad..."I knew it would take a while for Lily to come to terms with what I had just revealed, so I sat back and waited patiently. By the time she had calmed herself, she turned to me again. "Okay. So, I am happy for you", she began. "But revealing this to the pack would stir up more trouble than I'd care to admit"I nodded, agreeing. "That's true and that's the exact reason why I couldn't tell anyone, especially you"My tears had dried on my cheeks by this time, and the stab of betrayal was a distant memory I tried to suppress for as long as possible. If discussing this with Lily could distract me even for a second longer, I'd gladly do it. "Well, is that the reason why you were crying? Did something happen?", Lily questioned. I almost gr
Chapter 41Unknown POV Elsa threw her hairbrush across the room, watching in satisfaction as it hit a wall, clattering loudly on the floor. She took deep breaths to prevent herself from screaming aloud in frustration. Another carefully crafted plan was ruined and it was all because of her nuisance of a stepsister, Selena. She was certain that this time, she'd be able to snag the alpha. The plan was simple: force herself on Axel, have sex with him and do everything in her power to have his seed in her. If she declared she was with child for him, they'd have no choice but to make her his wife. Not that she planned on giving birth so soon. She'd get rid of the fetus before it even has a chance to develop. Why did Selena have to walk in at that time? And why did Axel care so much about Selena that he rushed after her to explain himself? Why did Selena have the exact look on her face when she caught her with Ethan? A look of pure betrayal and hurt. There were so many questions but El
Chapter 42Selena's POV "Well, what did he send?"Lily peeked over my shoulder, the excitement prominent in her voice. "I don't know. I won't open it either", I resolved, carefully dropping the small box at the side of my bed. In all honesty, I was dying to see what Axel had sent as a gift but I also needed to feign anger. I completely believed his story, but I wasn't ready to admit that I got upset without first hearing him out. This was the first gift he had ever sent, and I was internally dying of curiosity. "Why?", Lily whined. "I thought you were busy", I nudged her away from me, slowly dragging her to the door. "Wait", she tried negotiating. "You wouldn't drag me out, would you?"Smirking at her dramatics, I pushed her outside, shutting the door with a slam and clicking the lock in place. "You're so cold hearted", she complained from the outside. Smiling, I walked back to the bed. The gift was wrapped but I could tell it was a small box. Unraveling the packaging slowly,
Chapter 43Axel's POVBlake and I sat hunched over the table, discussing in low voices. My mate still hadn't reached out to me and I wondered if she was still upset. I didn't blame her though, I'd be upset as well if I found her in such a compromising position with any guy. I checked my phone for the fifth time in the past minute.Blake was already glaring, an annoyed expression on his face. "What?", I questioned, throwing him a confused look."You're not paying attention to what I'm saying", he pointed out. "You've been checking for phone for as long as I walked in here""Sorry. I'm listening, please go on"He threw me a blank stare, shaking his head in refusal. "That's what you said the last time and the time after that"I sighed, leaning back. "If you want to make a call or something, just go do it. I'll wait""Nah. I can't. She isn't picking up and she's ignoring my calls", I blurted out, running a hand through my hair."Who? Your mate?"Nodding, I pushed my chair back, standin
