Selena's POVThe orphanage home was an almost run down building with chipped paints and leaking ceilings. The children were huddled in a corner, each clad in warm clothes against the incoming storm. It wasn't fancy in any way but the aura was that of warmth and goodwill."How can I help you?", an elderly woman appeared, a small smile on her face as she addressed us."Umm, I'm looking for the boss around here", I provided, staring at her expectantly."Why? Is there any problem?""No. I just need to ask a few questions concerning an adoption years ago", I blurted out, wondering if I had revealed too much."Then you've come to the right place", she smiled. "Come on."Lily and I trailed after her limping form until she stopped at a door to presumably an office. "Come in"We walked in after her, settling ourselves on the brown leather couch after she permitted. She sat heavily on thRelated chapters

Chapter 70Selena's POV I immediately leaned in, waiting impatiently for Miss Agatha's next words. Her eyes were still fixated on the picture before her, a sad expression on her face.My patience was at its end by the time she finally looked up to me. "Your parents were wonderful. They visited this orphanage home after they got married and spent a lot of time with the kids, before they had you", she smiled sadly. Her eyes glazed over as she was taken down memory lane. "When they found out your mom was pregnant, they threw a huge celebration right within these walls...""But?", I asked, dreading her next words. "But, one day they rushed in here looking frantic and scared. You were in your mother's arms and she was obviously wounded and in pain. Your father too had a stab wound. I tried asking them what was wrong but they only cared about hiding you away. They signed the papers to give you up for adoption and left almo

Chapter 71Selena's POV Everything faded leaving just my shocked face and the paper. It was almost unbelievable but I was certain the universe, moon goddess and everything good and right is working in my favor. The surname was a dead giveaway. Who is this man? Uncle, cousin? I couldn't find myself giving a fuck about that. What were the odds of finding this single piece of paper in the midst of this mess? "Lily?", I called out. Lily's rummaging ceased as she popped her head out of one of the dusty shelves. "Yes?""I've found it", I stated, too dazed to even muster a smile. "Can you believe it? I can't."Lily rushed to me, pulling me in a tight hug. "I told you it'll work out, didn't I?""Yes. Yes, you did but I just...""It's fine. I know you're probably too excited to even muster a few words", she chuckled, patting my shoulder softly. "Come on."Just as we were walking

Chapter 72Selena's POV The man scoffed but slammed his hand over the cash, pulling it slowly to himself without breaking my stare. "I see you're one fearless young lady", he snarled out, baring his brown teeth to me. In all honesty, I was a tad bit frightened by him but not so much that I physically trembled. It was more of a cautious sort of fear. "Come on then", he drawled out, the heavy southern accent in his tone prominent. He walked around the counter, right to where we stood. Lily was awfully quiet next to me that I threw a glance in her direction, just to be sure.He climbed a flight of rickety stairs, throwing us a quick peek over his shoulder to ensure we were following. The music and loud chattering dimmed significantly as Lily's shoulders sagged in relief. Making a mental note to ask her what all that was about, the bartender pushed open a wooden door, revealing a tiny room.

Chapter 73Selena's POV "Welcome", Lily and I chorused, moving aside for the man to walk in. Reynold was not as I imagined. While I knew he was probably twice my age, his face and hair concealed his age by a lot. No one would believe he was fifty years old when he looked thirty. "You must be Selena", he turned to me, his sharp green eyes piercing. I raised a brow, silently wondering how he was able to identify me. "You look like your mother."Clearing my throat, I ushered him further into the room. "Come in."Lily excused herself, rushing to grab a drink. She returned in less than five minutes. "This isn't necessary", Reynold shook his head. "In fact, we won't be here for long. I have no idea why you're living in this condition.""Listen, Mr. Reynold. I don't mean to be rude but we're basically strangers. I only contacted you because you were my last resort in finding out about my parents and my identity.""Yes", he nodded in understanding, his eyes straying to Lily. "This is a

Chapter 74Axel POV The entire pack house was in a flurry. Most patrol guards had been dispatched to the neighboring forests and cities. We'd gone as far as other packs to inform them about Selena and I could only pray to the moon goddess that she was safe. I knew this wasn't a kidnap, or else her room wouldn't be so organized and her maid would be released to pass a message across. They had stowed away some clothes and the members of the pack reported seeing them leaving the pack house with a duffel bag. The pack driver had driven them to a boutique and Selena had instructed him to return in a few hours. It was clear as day, she had gone away based on her own free will. I couldn't be relieved nor upset. My emotions were all over the place, which made it even more difficult to suck it up and be a leader in this hard time. Asher was working almost as hard as I was. On certain instances, he followed the search team. It was suspicious, but there was nothing I could hold against him.

Chapter 75Selena's POV I clutched the headrest, shutting my tightly as I wished earnestly for the wave of dizziness to pass. I had no idea what was wrong. After arriving safely to this mansion, scratch that, my mansion, I had a long and much needed bath, followed by a rejuvenating sleep. If anything, I was healthier than ever, so why did I feel like crap?"Hey", Lily peeked in, not bothering to knock. "Hi", I straightened up, forcing a smile on my face. "Why do you look like that?", she frowned, rushing to my side. "You look so pale and tired.""I'm not tired. I've just had the best rest in the history of rests", I chuckled as she wrinkled her nose. "Whatever. You still need to see a doctor.""Who needs to see a doctor?", Reynold asked as he joined us in the room. "Selena looks a bit sick, don't you agree?"Reynold kept silent, staring at me under his keen eyes. "Yes. Her face has lost its color and if my memory serves me right, she seemed to have added a bit of weight."I bla

Chapter 76Axel's POV "Where's she?", I questioned the old lady who seemed absolutely confused. "Who?""Two ladies visited your orphanage home, right? Do you remember one with pitch black hair and honey brown eyes?"The woman, Agatha, seemed to be deep in thought. "Yes. Selena, yes?"At the mention of Selena's name, I leapt from the couch, rushing to the woman's desk. "Yes. Selena. Where is she now?""Well, I can't say because she never mentioned it. She even left without personally saying goodbye, just a verbal message to one of my workers."I breathed out heavily, running a frustrated hand through my hair. "So you have no idea or hint or assumptions?""She was looking for information about her birth parents. I don't know any more than all I've said to you, I promise."I could tell the woman was being sincere, so I straightened up, rewarding her with some space from my intimidating presence. She visibly relaxed in my absence. Blake pulled me away from the desk. "If Selena is in s

Chapter 77Selena's POV "How are you feeling?", Lily asked, looking down at me from her sitting position on the side of the bed. "I'm fine. For the fifteenth time, I'm fine."Ever since the doctor declared me with child, Lily had been treating me like a delicate porcelain doll that could shatter at any moment if handled wrong. The question she asks after every hour is if I felt fine. I truly was. The nauseous feeling and occasional dizziness were not a bother anymore and I still felt normal, like another werewolf wasn't growing in me. "Okay. I'll need to go buy some food items in the market so I won't be around for some time. Just in case."I frowned, straightening up from the bed. "Why are you going to buy food items? Lily, that's not your work anymore, remember? Let the chefs handle the cooking and others, the cleaning", I stated, a finality tone in my voice. "I'm not cooking for the entire house and I'm not doing the cleaning either. You were very adamant in convincing me to s

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

Chapter 138Selena's POV I took three large gulps of air, like it would be my last moment of peace. 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?"

Chapter 137Selena's POV Lily looked like she'd throw up anytime soon while I was simply too stunned to say a word. "Isn't that poisonous?"Lily asked no one in particular, her eyes still fixed on the frog. "I don't think so", Orion answered, inspecting the frog. 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.

Chapter 136Selena's POV For the next few days, we ignored everything. 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

Chapter 134Selena's POV The pack gates creaked open, revealing a number of stern faced and cold gazes of the Alphas. 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

Blake walked slowly into the room, his eyes darting from Lily to me, eyes narrowed. "Uhun", he answered under his breath.I threw a stern glare as Lily let out a muffled laugh and that seemed enough to cause her to straighten up. "Selena's right. 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

"I hate you. So much. 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.
