Chapter 74

Axel 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.

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 78Selena's POV Lily rushed to my front, spreading her arm out to shield me from the man whose face was still obscured by the hood over his head. "Don't you dare try anything stupid", Lily threw a glare at the man, eyeing him as he let out a loud, derisive chuckle at her words. "I won't hesitate to bury my fist into your heart and watch you bleed out to death", his gravelly voice sent a shot of fear through me and I could tell Lily was scared as well, but she still stood still as a shield, protecting me from him. "What do you want?", I asked, my voice surprisingly steady unlike the war raging in my mind. "That's a very good question", the man replied, bringing his hand to his chin as he rubbed slowly in deep thought. "You see, my clear instruction is to get rid of you, as simple as that. So, if you could just stay still while I perform my assignment, I'd very much appreciate that.""You must be very delusional", Lily glared hotly at him. "We aren't alone and very soon, th

    Chapter 79Selena's POV I rushed back to the spot where Lily laid for the past thirty minutes, her head buried between her knees as she sobbed loudly. The alley was hidden from the public's eyes, but there were at least three to five werewolves who took this path every ten minutes. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying for so long but the moment she heard the sound of my feet, she raised her head, eyes widening as she took me in, perhaps wondering if it was a dream. My hands still dripped fresh blood, making a tiny poodle where I stood facing her. "Goddess dear me", she exclaimed, limping over to me in disbelief. "You're bleeding", she pointed out, scanning my arms for any signs of injury. "I'm fine", I tried to console but Lily seemed to think the blood belonged to me. She was slowly getting to the brink of full blown panic. "The blood doesn't belong to me."Lily stopped her frantic movement before looking up to me s

It was creased, causing Asher to throw me a heated glare. "What the fuck is wrong with you?", he asked, annoyance in his tone. "What's wrong with me?", I asked incredulously. "You're my fucking problem."Blake barged in, looking between me and Asher as we squared off. "Alpha. Think this through", he whispered in my ear, holding unto my wrists. The problem is, I had thought this through and it was glaringly obvious that I find it very difficult to care about anything or anyone. I chose to act oblivious to everything happening around me, I chose to stay silent while the asshole in front of me was promised my own mate. It is my fault, every damn thing but Asher also needed to pay. How could he conjure such an evil scheme, causing Selena to run off, a punch to his face

    Chapter 81Selena's POV "Aren't you ready?", Lily called from the other side of the bathroom door, groaning in frustration as I mumbled something along the lines of 'give me a minute'.My head was currently down as I shampooed my hair thoroughly, the latter so thick it was like touching a cloud. But Lily was too busy muttering carefully crafted profanities, just loud enough for me to hear her. I shook my head at her defiance. She looked my age but sure acted like a mother hen. "We're almost ready. How on earth are you still in the shower? You walked in there like thirty minutes before I went in to take a shower too."I racked my brain for an excuse. "Yeah. I'm taking so long because I'm washing my hair."She paused for a second before speaking, her voice flat and unimpressed. "I also washed my hair.""Just wait. Two minutes, I swear.""The staff are packed and waiting. The first batch of ca

    Chapter 82Selena's POV It's been close to a year, which means I'd be expecting my child soon. It was one heck of a ride with both Lily and Reynold. We grew closer with every passing day over the past months and I was never so glad to have such an amazing support system. I miss Axel every single day, that the thought of him seems to bring a terrible physical ache in my chest. But with the anticipation of seeing my child, it lessened the ache considerably. I wondered if someone had been brought as a stand in for Axel's mate. It was only a matter of time before the elders pushed him into marriage or the search for his mate. With my absence, perhaps he wouldn't have any choice but bed another woman who would beat his child. The thought made my lungs feel like it was drained of every iota of oxygen. Axel may just never forgive me for leaving without telling him. "I told you to stop eating so much",

    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
