Selena's POV"That was fun", Lily giggled. "I mean, I could've believed for a second there that those slides were built for me."I laughed along with her.She had been so excited, almost as excited as the kids when her eyes met the waterslide. I didn't do much, only sat aside, watch them play and record a few videos in between, yet there was an exhaustion overwhelming my being until I could only perform the motions, like torture."You played more than the kids", I stated in a matter of fact tone.Lily laughed aloud, adjusting her hold on Zephyr as we walked out of the park. Orion and Zephyr seem to be in some heated argument about dinosaurs but I tuned them out, facing Lily as we spoke."What's wrong? You seem really tired lately.""I don't know", I sighed. "I've just been a bit down."Lily looked sympathetically at me. "Do you think it concerns Alpha Axel?", her voice loweredRelated chapters

Chapter 87Selena's POV With every question Axel dished out, the guilt weighed deeper until I could swear I was drowning. My lungs constricted and the painful prickle of incoming tears behind my eyelids was enough evidence to reveal how miserable I feel. "I trust you", I blurted out, not just to stop his questions but because I mean it. Axel didn't look relieved as I expected. He looked even more hurt. "You left, without any notice or reason, you simply just walked away like that. It was so easy for you to leave but did you ever think about me? How did you think I felt when you were suddenly reported missing?", his voice was still eerily calm, his eyes unblinking. "I searched for a letter, a clue, something, anything at all that showed you still thought about me even when you were walking off", he scoffed. "Guess what? I didn't find shit.""I'm sorry", I repeated again, blinking back the tears. "I'm so sorry. I was

Chapter 88Selena POV Reynold looked between me and Axel who had my hand in a death like grip. He has been that way, keeping me so close, like I'd disappear if he spends a single minute looking away. As much as I love it, I also couldn't ignore the glaring fact that it's my fault for leaving him this way. He's bound to be protective. His presence made my blood warm and tingle with an unknown emotion, or maybe it's just the mate bond, tugging us closer. Either way, a considerable burden has been lifted up my shoulders. "Let me get something straight", Reynold adjusted himself, moving closer to the edge of the couch. "So, you just took the kids to an amusement park and you met with Alpha Axel whom you haven't seen for...three years?""Yes", I reply, throwing a quick look to Axel. His eyes scanned the surroundings, clearly uninterested in the ongoing conversation. "What do we call this? Fate or coincidence?",

Chapter 89Axel's POV I woke up to the sunlight streaming directly on my eyes, causing me to squint against it. I brought my hand up, shielding my face from the merciless rays of the morning. My heart stuttered when I felt warm hands encircle my torso, attempting to move closer. Last night felt like a dream. A good dream. And throughout the years of being away from Selena, I had conjured a thousand scenarios of meeting her again. But, out of it all, none prepared me for seeing her near an ice-cream truck. I knew I would do things differently this time. The moment we return to the pack house, I will declare her my mate and I honestly don't mind the consequences. I'll protect my kids, make up for the years I was away from them. There's a relief in my heart, and even now, looking down at a sleeping Selena, it still seemed like a dream. "You're awake? Already?", Selena groaned, snuggling f

Chapter 90Selena's POV The trepidation growing steadily at the pit of my stomach kind of made me regret eating lunch as it threatened to come up. As we moved along the path, I recognized more things than I care to admit which made the glaring fact that we were getting closer to the pack house. The twins sat on Axel's lap, with Orion asking him a million questions and Zephyr attempting to punch Axel repeatedly for no reason and failing every time. I had snapped at the kids twice in the last thirty minutes from my anxiety and annoyance at their ignorance which made Axel keep a steady hand over mine in comfort.The car slowed considerably and the moment I looked up, my heart lurched again, hitting mercilessly against my ribcage. I was going into full on panic mode and if there was space to bolt, I'd gladly do it. Except I'm in a moving car with acres of a forest stretching on for miles. So, staying still was a safer option.

Chapter 91Selena's POV The emotions that crossed Asher's face ranged from shock, to fear and then betrayal. Except, he had absolutely no right to feel betrayed. I glared at him, the anger overshadowing my fear. "How...", he spluttered. "That's not possible. You..", his face was steadily changing to a shade of red from the disbelief of our exchange. "It's possible", Axel stood in between me and a fuming Asher. "Those are my kids."Asher looked beyond Axel, his eyes clashing with mine, pure hatred oozing from it. "How dare you? You're married to me!", he exclaimed, his voice cracking at the end by how loud he was screaming. "No. She's mine now", I sensed the palpable authority in Axel's voice, his posture stiff and back straight as he addressed his brother. The tension was obvious between the two, a recent development that I missed after leaving the palace. Axel had always been a bit... lenient wh

Chapter 92Selena's POV I woke up earlier than usual. Or rather, I could barely sleep during the night even though my body protested and the exhaustion was almost impossible to shake off. But, Cecelia and Asher plagued my dreams, so when I woke up startled for the third time in the past two hours, I gave up trying to sleep and simply watched Axel. His chest rose and fell in a peaceful rhythm and even watching him made a smile sneak its way to my lips. The vividness of my nightmares soon receded to the back of my mind, but it lingered, just at the corner. I stretched, opting for a shower to get rid of the cold sweat and once I stepped out of the bathroom, I felt lighter and much more awake. It was barely dawn and most members of the pack were still asleep, so I grasped the opportunity to take a walk. It needed my headspace clear especially now that there was every possibility I would be called upon by the Elders. Ax

Chapter 93Selena's POV I stood before the Elders, head bowed and hands tightly intertwined in front of me. I had heard of them, four Elders made up of the oldest of the pack. There were three men and a woman, with gray hairs and wrinkles on their faces which was rare. Usually, werewolves age slowly and if they looked old in werewolf age, then they must be over two hundred years old. "Selena", one of the Elders called out, causing me to look up. I scanned their faces for some sort of reaction, something to indicate how the end of this trial will go, that is, if Axel doesn't interfere, but their faces held nothing but neutrality. "Yes Elder."His eyes went to Asher who stood on my left while Axel sat with them, his chair decorated like a throne. Asher took a step forward before speaking. "Selena here, was given to me by her family and with the permission of the Elders, I went ahead to marry her. A

Chapter 94Unknown POV Asher drummed his fingers on the desk in his study yet his eyes remained fixed at a particular spot. The anger from his encounter with Selena and Axel still steamed in his brain and he was royally pissed off. It was ironic how Selena who previously recoiled from his touch and stared at him with caution, had the audacity to speak so fearlessly just because Axel had her back. How long had they known? How long had they been deceiving him?The drumming of his fingers grew more persistent. Without a thought, he jumped to his feet, rushing off to see Selena. He needed to clarify everything. How long? The question rang in his brain like a mantra, his body felt a little too hot for the weather and he could only hear the rushing of his blood. Selena was leaning against her balcony, laughing at some joke Lily cracked when he barged in. His eyes searched the space, finally resting in Selena who

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

Chapter 133Selena's POV "It's not what you think", I pointed out but Lily's amusement poured from her very pores as she stared innocently at Blake. 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

Chapter 132Selena's POV "Unfortunately, I'm not you", I glared. "Even though I wish with everything in me that I was."Axel's hand was entwined with mine, his thumb tracing lazy circles on it. "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. "Forg...""Letting you go doesn't mean I think of you in a better light than I used to. But, you staying here will just mean you're a part of my life.

The cell holding my stepfather opened next. He looked like he had aged a century from
