!“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
Seeing it had been Nathan and not Logan who held her, selene jolted up from the bed, her eyes wide open while terror washed over her. She said nothing, her gaze fixed on him, and it bothered her a whole lot.Cold sweat broke off her temples. Oh, she wished she had not just made a mistake as such, not that he had much of a choice anyway.“How do you feel?” Nathan asked, trying to put up a warm smile on his face; however, after many failed attempts, he left it to be.“Nathan ?” selene called out once more, certain that she had seen Logan a few moments ago or had been hallucinating.Nathan shook his head. He knew there was nothing he could conjure to win selene over; she was still in love with the same man who got her pregnant. Embarrassed her in front of every living being, and at the end of it,dropped her off to a side after treating her like she never mattered.It ached terribly in selene 's heart. She was not prepared for anything as such, not that she had problems of any so
LIt's been a week, and selene knew Nathan kept up with his attitude; he was no longer checking up on her; he had his meals in his room; he barely had a conversation with her; worse still, whenever they crossed paths, he acted like none other than a very curt stranger.“My Lady.” Helen called towards Lord, placing her food table, while a scoff eased through selene 's lips.“I have nothing interesting today.” selene complained bitterly before standing towards her mirror. She took a long glance at her belly. It was the pups they had begun growing. Things seemed better for her end, but sweats trickled down her temples. She had been burning up ever since the treatment, yet she knew for some other reason she was very ashamed to speak.“I'm restless, Helen... tired.. Not hungry..yet most of all, I desire a companion. I'm growing tired of this, each day after day, doing nothing but sleeping wearily, waking up, anger seeping inside of me while I'm condensed by rage after rage, day after d
“Selene !” Nathan called out for the umpteenth time, banging his fists against her door in a desperate attempt to be with her, yet for the umpteenth time in a row, he got no response.“Can you just have the door opened? please? I promise you, I'll make it up to you!” He screamed again, yelping at the top of his voice.“I'll break this door down if you give no response!” Nathan yelled again; he had asked for the keys as well a few minutes ago, but he certainly didn't want to intrude on her personal space, yet seeing how she suddenly wanted to give a response bothered him.He knew Selene to be faint-hearted, and of course she certainly would not do anything like kill herself or anything, but Nathan was so convinced that she was not going to give it a trial.“I'm coming in now.” Nathan asked, unlocked the door, and bolted into the room, but to his surprise, Helen had been the one couped up in bed, her knees folded to her cheat ass. She glanced head to Nathan , who did not seem pleas
Selene was strapped to a chair, her hands held in place as well as her feet.“This won't take long; besides, what sides do you wish for?.” The question was asked again, throwing her into a daze. She could barely think straight on hearing those words. A brighter light flashed, blinding her eyesight as she felt a scissors trim at the edge of her hair, some others falling against her skin, powders, lipstick perfume, pedicures, manicures… all my life, every inch of my body being polished.selene ' really couldn't understand any of it. She kept my lips sealed, worried that she might ruin whatever it was that they had been doing. Besides, she didn't want to flinch a bit because of the hard work that was put into trimming my hair; one wrong move and she would have one side longer than the other all through, which was something she wasn't interested in so far.“sheesh.” she whispered beneath her breath, glancing hard at the reflection in the mirror while they all pulled away from her
She was way too much of a beauty for him; Nathan could barely contain the insane excitement I felt when staring at her, but he knew much better than making a fool of himself so easily. swallowed hard not to match his gaze with her, afraid that he might run them into more trouble.He needed to be focused on the plan, and she took the bait, just as he had expected.He had a dinner planned out for them all day. spent way too much energy and invested every bit of time and attention he could to make everything perfect, but he knew things weren't going to end well. He believed she would have thrown a fuss or caused an argument all day and night long, but Ihd was wrong, she seems…like everything he ever wanted, she looked dashing ,stunning, more radiant to life than she had been when she was mated to logan At first, he had been pissed off hearing that logan had been in another affair, living his life and not recalling that nathan was going to be his nemesis being an erratic perso
I CAN'T FEEL HER WOLF.One look at the time and Nathan collapsed with exhaustion into his chair. Damn, it had only been a few hours but Nathan missed his mate. He wanted selene tucked away in his arms until Monday, just the both of them in their home without any interference. So far things had been good between them, ever since she had confessed her affections for him Nathan felt way better, he was no longer blinded by her love..well at least.Only a few minutes later, Nathan felt a wave of panic bolt through him. He stood, taking a few deep breaths to try and calm himself down. Nothing had startled him and he couldn’t hear anything happening nearby… Then his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach and Nathan jumped up hastily to reach for his phone. He and selene were always so in sync with each other, they could often feel the other’s emotions or thoughtsselene ’s phone kept ringing until it went to voicemail and nathan ended the call with an angry growl. He had been aw
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
