!Nathan sensed selene 's worry, but he meant no harm; all he wanted to do was spend some time with her."Please, your Highness, if you won't mind standing by the side a bit, I'll be done soon.'' selene responded before grabbing her brooms. She felt really disturbed by every bit of it; as a matter of fact, she didn't like the occasion one bit. Why was he being unnecessarily grumpy when she had done nothing to him“Your Highness? I see someone who has gotten better manners in the span of a week and who trained on speech and etiquette." Nathan asked, teasing her on purpose. selene understood what it was that he was doing and chose to ignore him. She moved the furniture and wiped continuously while his gaze remained on her.There was just about selene that enchanted him; it could be her beauty, but Nathan knew he was an alpha; he had seen one too many beautiful she-wolves and knew certainly it wasn't that. Perhaps her humility as well, but then he had met with hundreds of shewolved
A whole week had passed since the incident, and he had never felt at his lowest like he had done at the moment. He found himself driving day and night, most times until dawn, even in the middle of the night, returning to the spot he had left, hoping selene had somehow returned for him.He hated himself each passing minute or his love; everyone in the pack felt his pain as well. He no longer attended meetings; all he did was sit home and sulk. Gray has been in charge of most of his meetings, covering his spaces and outing information. He knew he could barely cover up the truth for long; certain things needed to be done.“Again!” Gary asked while he made his way into Logan 's room, sure enough to have the bottle of alcohol snatched off his wrist before setting towards the bar once more.“You can't keep living your life like this; I understand that you miss her, and you've got to make hard choices; I understand that there is nothing else that is worth living for, but you still can't kee
selene remained tinned in her seat while her eyes were pinned against those of nathan e. She wasn't sure what to say, but eventually a scoff eased up her throat while she rolled her eyes around a bit, feeling really funny at the moment.“You really know how to make one; am I expected to say yes to this silly attempt at a joke? And worse still, you meant it; why on earth will I decide to accept the proposal from some sort of man I've never known?” selene questioned Nathan while he nodded.Of course, he had been a man of few words and more action. Nathan knew so well that if he wanted to force her into marriage, he could, but he wasn't interested in having the method used on selene ; quite a lot had caught his fancy. He wasn't sure what it was that he felt for her, but the doctor made it clear when he asked her to be treated that she was expecting a child in a few months ahead.At that moment, selene had hooked him. Although there had still been more than enough means of keeping ta
“I think you have a better shot to be Alpha than your brother. I mean, how much longer will you continue to bask in his shadows?” Zara asked while she was closer to Lexus, gently placing her head against his chest.Lexus felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing Giannis' words; he had to admit that his feelings for Zara had suddenly become way too much for him to bear. He was crazy about it. At first, it started off between them with nothing but a little smile, maybe little talk, little walks and talks every few words, and for Lexus his feelings for Zara were genuine.But Zara was wrong; perhaps Lexus was not too keen on the words. afterall she knew that there wasn't going to be much trouble and talks,besides, Logan was in love with selene and didn't feel a single thing for Zara , Lexus believed things were not to continue. He had to do one thing or do another, but talks of Logan and impeachment had never been anything he would want to consider, and so far, Zara has been push
selene noticed the environment and how refreshing it was. She took a deep breath, feeling worn out by the aura and feeling swimming inside of me. She couldn't help but admire Nathan 's pack.. She still had not given him a response to his proposal the previous night, but then who could blame me?.She wasn't sure of what to do and diving into conclusions had never worked well for her.“Do you like it?” Nathan asked as soon as they drove through the huge iron wrought bars of the mansion.Alorq wasn't sure what she felt yet but she could acknowledge that it made her feel different but in a good way and she loved the way the environment seemed lively than that of Logan s.“It's alright,” she responded.She sat down and watched as the maids in the yard were arranging and everyone doing their thing. She smiled and felt Nathan 's hands around her shoulders. They needed the publicity, he had spoken to her through it. If they were to get married and pulled a heavy stunt, it had better be
“Oh, I'm sorry, I must have made mistakes with the rooms.” Selene apologized and turned on her feet hastily while her heart pounded in her chest. She knew it was her room but had no idea why a strange cold lady had been in there all along.“I'm Sophie.. You didn't get to catch my name, by the way, and yes, this is your room, not mine.” Sophie responded, sure to have a cunning smile passed to Selene , who felt immediately uncomfortable. She's not certain what the odd woman had been up to, and neither did she think it was actually worth anything to begin with; it made her sick down to the nerves, to be fair.“Oh.. Is there anything, Sophie? With you being in my room and all?” Selene asked; of course she was no fool. She had dealt with Zara before; she knew a rival so well if she had seen one; only that the way she intended to handle it was going to make a difference.They usually get bitchy and besides, she had no intentions of spending a single moment getting caught up in love f
!“Selene ?” Nathan asked, placing gentle knocks against her door. No response fell through, and it bothered him a bit. He swallowed hard, not liking the turns of things, but he needed to do it anyway. She couldn't blame him, and he was certain she would understand after he explained his plight to her.All of those, Nathan still hesitated; he felt bitter to the core. He placed a continuous knock on the door, not wanting to be rude, but after several minutes of standing by the door and getting no response panic struck him. He had come terribly worried and pushed through the door hastily while glancing around in fear and worry.“I'm sorry…” Nathan spoke as he made his way into the room. He stopped; however, his eyes darted across too, hastily he pushed the bathroom door open; it was empty. He checked the closets and found the same thing! h.“Selene ?” He held again; he knew she wasn't probably playing hide and seek, especially in such a situation, yet she couldn't understand what th
Helen knew as a maid that learning the doctrines and practices of a healer was against the law; she was a maid. An omega, it was bound by her fate that she had been a maid till the last day of her death. But for Helen, that wasn't enough; she had watched the same cycle of people making that mistake over and over, and she just wanted more of it.The moment she was chosen by Alpha Nathan to be his personal tender was the moment she understood all that she needed to do; she didn't need to exceed the necessary means; all that had been expected of her was to keep up her good deeds and talk and experience life with him.Of course, Alpha Nathan has never been an untidy one; most of the time he traveled to work on missions, spending months with him visiting home and training at their base, so it wasn't so much work for her to do. Although whenever he was around, she had to sweep the floors and wipe every surface clean every given hour, however for Helen it was not much trouble as his mo
Sophie's Trial Before the Elders.“Do you know why you have been summoned here? Traitor?” Nathan asked. Raging on while the elders of the council exchanged looks, Sophie, on the other hand, didn't budge a bit; she didn't mind; as a matter of fact, to her, they were all fools, eating out of her hand.This was exactly where she wanted to be; this was the entire plan she had in mind. as knew Matt was forever, but apart from the crazy love obsession that Matt had over her, there was also a slight issue that raised a hell lot of problems.It was the blind love and stupendous loyalty he had for Logan ; of course she knew eventually he was going to eat her out. Besides, what was she ever going to gain from including Matt in her plan from the beginning?.She could have taken the babies by herself, for all she knew; however, she wanted them distracted. Turned against one another."Yes, your highness, I am here to stand trial, as the customs of the pack are the only chance I get to prove my i
“I will be a better man." selene , I said I'm sorry.” He pleaded, straining his voice, Hw pulled closer to her, but she ignored him. He said not even a single word, panic and pain coursing through his vein, swallowing hard. He had rolled his eyes before sinking into the chair.She had been this way all day, apart from the constant cries of the babies. Nothing else had been said between them both.“I'll be out for some air," Nathan added reluctantly. More pain coursed through his veins, yet he could not help himself. The more he tried to think of it, The more sorrow had plagued her mind, it was one thing for the constant arguments; it was another when she had shut him out.He ! I certainly knew she would keep up with her icy attitude towards him for just about long enough, and the mere thought of it made him really weary, thinking down into things like that wasn't what he needed.He rested against the balcony; he hacked the wall while he drew out a cigarette and lit on the end; the e
“Matt?” Sophie called out; her heart skipped beats as soon as she cast her gaze against that of Logan's and nathan 's; it was Matt who had betrayed her and screwed her over.“I'll ask Sophie, Where are my children? '' Nathan asked, glaring widely, anger wallowing within him.Of course, he was told by the wall that it was what he needed to do. In a bit, all he had to do was speak, rage on, and lash out! Whatever, he knew he wasn't going to repeat himself, and he was certain the words were clear enough.“I'm sorry… I'm really sorry.” She mustered beneath her breath, pain and anger eating away at her.Logan didn't like the fact that Nathan was doing too much; it was his babies, his kids, and so far as pleased everyone knew the pups didn't belong to Nathan and that selene had been pregnant when she came to join their pack.Yet he wasn't prepared to face his wrath at a moment like this, nor wasn't seen calling him names and passing on blame to him.“They are right, right here.” Sop
!“Selene ?” Logan called out her name, almost as though he had seen a ghost. His heart hammered in his chest. He had a lot to say to her, a whole lot to explain, but he knew at the moment he dared not voice out a single thing.“I'm sorry, we should have done this a long time ago.” Logan Wolf added in, feeling the pain he had felt, and it ate away at both of them, barely holding up to them.“What part of don't step out if your room did not get yours?” Nathan asked, becoming angry himself. He balled his fast signs and approached selene s' horse.“Don't get out of my room. Or keep her locker DUP like some rabid dog?” selene asked my response while staring deep down into nathan 's orbs. She felt no empathy, love, pain, or regret of any kind as she spoke with him. It was safe to say that every form of butterflies she'd had in her belly before, the ones he'd given her, entirely made me sick down to the core. He could barely understand it.“What do you mean? It's making no sense right n
“Do not make me repeat myself; I want those doors opened now!” Selene yelled at the top of her voice, and the maids shook their heads in response. Passing each other questioning glances and gazes, uncertain of how to handle the entire situation, cold sweat broke off from Selene's temples. She wasn't certain what to do or how to handle the entire situation.For the fact that she had woken rather late and weak but couldn't find her babies, two things settled into her mind, but then Matt passed by saying he had taken them to the shaman for preparation of rites. She had zero problems with that, apart from when the issue began. And yells, and then Matt has not returned.She felt it must have been something else, but it became rather unsettling again, seeing guards stand by her doorstep, bolting the door closed. And when she asked the maids, they claimed she was meant to be in confinement, nothing else; that certainly rang a bell—a crazy one at that."Oh, please... I'll make you regret this
“Your highness!” Matt yelled at the top of his voice while he hastened his steps into the room. Nathan tilted his head slowly before adding more colleges to his shirt. Nathan glanced at himself in the ! mirror, feeling somewhat more accomplished. He was a father, so he had to start dressing responsibly.He was a father now.The mere thought of it made him smile baselessly while taking a long and lasting look at his reflection in the mirror, admiring every little piece of exposed skin that he had. He always argues himself not to be a narcist, but when it got down to terms of his body, he did really well at that. He always had a thing or two to say about how perfect his body was and how drop-dead gorgeous he looked.“Your highness, it's urgent.” Matt repeated it again, scared to the brim while his heart raced in his chest, yet still, he knew for a fact that breaking down would make things worse. “Your highness!” he called out again, raging inwardly while sweat trickled off his templ
PREPARING FOR THEIR NAMING CEREMONY “Bring out the best wines we have! The best cattle; have them prepared; let the people in as I call for celebration; my wife has given birth to two boys; we have two young alphas and heirs to the throne." Nathan yelled at the top of his voice, happiness seeping into him while he made the announcement, loud yells as I lunated a follow-follow while very rammed their hands together.Each one pauses the gist of the news to another. Smiles upon their faces at the happiness of the alpha, good news was needed in the pack, and it had to come as a double blessing.Everyone hailed the Lord for all that had happened, as happiness shook them totally, meekness and joy, they all chanted and yelled. Smiling ear to ear.That was all that had been needed—the very thing that was expected.Yet amidst the happy crowd, Sophie had a very ugly frown on her face.“My love," Matt had called out to her, running his hands over her shoulder and down to her exit.She closed th
LEXUS POV.Soft, gentle knocks were placed on her door repeatedly. I got no response on the first few knocks, and later on, I panicked a bit and pushed the door, but it had been bolted from inside, which meant she was still in.“Zara , it's me!.” I spoke up. I heard footsteps approaching the door while she pushed it open, revealing her fluffy eyes and black circles beneath them. Her face seemed rough, as did her hair. She looked a little sleepy, almost like I had woken her from her sleep.“Why did it take you so long to get to the door? Besides, why are you looking like this?” I asked, breaking off but having the end slurred out long enough that she understood what it was that I had meant.“I'm so sorry, but I don't feel too well; you seem a little... Confused, if I might say, besides, what's the deal with you? I'm not making complaints, but I'm sure Logan doesn't want to see you around me, and if he doesn't get what he wants, he makes everyone else into the bad guy.,” she retorted,
“That color suits you, love.” Nathan teases while selene spins around hastily, a smile curving up on her lips as she listens to Nathan 's words.“You aren't meant to be here, Nathan ; it's nothing but bad luck to see the bride before she is married off to you.” selene added in, sounding quite chirpy with a smile on her face, and Nathan rolled his eyes at the person who never cared much about diabolical rumors.“All I wanted to do was take a sneak peek at my bride and also be sure she's on board with the entire thing. selene If you feel like this'd be way too much for you to handle, I'm very sorry, but we can stop this. I don't want you overthinking or working yourself up because of my decision. All you need to do is say the word. I promise I'll call it off in a heartbeat.” Nathan reassures Hee, who had been up listening to two, however it was that Nathan would not help but push a smile against his lips.What exactly was the entire deal about? She knew herself to be one person
