CHAPTER 123A STRANGER IN THE WOODS Hania stormed out of the house in rage. She yelled as she stepped into the car. She checked the time and discovered that it was nearly 5:30 p.m. She drove away and came to a stop in front of the woods. As Hania stepped down, she reached for the gun in her luggage. She put in her earplugs and started matching. No one would hear her shoot because this wood is not frequented. She spread her legs and started aiming for the tree. Her first shot did not land on target. She was boiling with rage. She fired another shot, and this time it struck a bird, which fell to the ground.Hania was so angry that she did not even check on the bird. She just kept shooting, blocking out all sounds except the sound of her gunshot. She tried to focus again, this time aiming the gun at the tree. She took a deep breath and fired again, this time hitting the target. Hania removed the earplugs with a smile. She turned around and heard rattling, prompting her to fire in its di
CHAPTER 124THE MOON GODDESS FESTIVAL “We should talk to Uncle Theodore. We should tell him that we want to leave here and spend the rest of the summer somewhere no one knows us. Is that okay?” Max gave a nod. “I would really like that.” * * * * * * * * * * * *“Hmm, Xavier. How could we have imagined we would never work out?” Selena said, pulling herself over to him and kissing him again. This has gone on for several days. They have sex whenever they have the opportunity to be alone. Selena has recently welcomed Xavier into the house following the party. Her room, specifically. Her friends? She told them to go home. They will only come on weekends, while she always spend the rest of the summer with Xavier in her bed. Selena pulled her clothes over her head, exposing her bra. She leaned in closer to kiss him. Hand reaches for his trousers, removing the belt. Her first sexual encounter with Xavier occurred on the night of Luisa’s birthday. Selena told her friends she wanted to be
CHAPTER 125ADORNED BRACELET “But why get things at a lower price when you can afford to buy them at full price?”“Selena. My dear sister. Think of the poor. It is not every time you abuse money because your parents are wealthy. Jade noticed a sale where earrings were on display. “Let’s head over there.” She pointed. “I’ve always wanted a lot. Trust me, you will not see earrings as lovely as these on a regular day.” “Okay.” Selena was dragged away. As they came to a stop in front of the earrings, Jade indicated which ones she wanted. Selena’s gaze wandered around. She hoped to see Xavier, but she also had a strong desire to see someone else, but she was not sure who.“This will look stunning on you, dear,” the saleswoman said. Selena’s thoughts were disrupted. She turned to confront the woman. Selena gasped slightly when she saw the bracelet. It had an adorned design. It was shaped like a white wolf, but it was sown rather than ceramic. “Take it, dear.”Selena took it gently from th
CHAPTER 126TWO SHREDDED HEARTS “I still don’t believe...”“Let’s go. This is the time of year when humans honour the moons goddesses.” Tyler gave Titus a slight push as they walked out of the house. Titus approached the car, and Tyler insisted that he drive. Tyler’s phone beeped during the ride. He looked at Titus as he pulled it out. “You didn’t tell me you’d that fixed.” Titus said. ”Not for too long, though.” He looked at the message that had appeared on his phone. He looked at Titus again. “This is a message from Dylan.”“What did he say?” Titus became attentive. “Max is taking a short vacation with Alexander before returning to human school. They’re leaving Seattle.” Tyler read aloud. Titus shot him a quick glance.“What? Why would she leave like that? And why is Dylan receiving the message before me?”Tyler kept his phone. “Maybe because you didn’t have a phone.” Tyler sighed. “Max needed time to breathe. So much has happened recently, and her wolf has not returned yet, so
CHAPTER 127FINALLY ACCEPTS HER REJECTION“Trisha, I can’t do this.” Jade spoke over the phone. “Selena likes Xavier, and they will be starting school as a new couple.” “She feels she likes him, but she doesn’t. Look, I told you to look after her and keep them apart, but you couldn’t do it because of a boy. If you want to remain a member of this club, you must help your sister realize that Xavier is not the right person for her. Neither is Titus. I don’t have anything to say about Tyler because he is a nice person.” “So you’re telling me you’re okay if she ends up with Tyler?” “Wasn’t that who she liked before the accident?” “Trisha. Selena’s feeling might have changed. What if she remembers everything but still chooses Xavier?” Trisha began laughing. “Definitely not; if she chooses Xavier, all of her secrets will be revealed. We don’t want that. So Xavier will need to get out of her mind. Whether she likes it or not, I can’t stand watching my friend being put under the blade. Sh
CHAPTER 128DO YOU KNOW ME?Dalett wrapped her arms around Selena’s shoulders. “So, tell me what you did today. It is the moon festival, and I am sure you wouldn’t have stayed at home. Where have you gone? I want all of the details.”“Okay, I will tell you guys because I had a great time.” She said as they both climbed the stairs. * * * * * * * * *Titus heard the sound of his doorbell. Who will be visiting him early in the morning? He wondered. As he descended the stairs, the doorbell kept ringing. Last night, he accepted Selena’s rejection and broke free from her. Whatever happens to her now, he won’t affected. He still feels something, but it is for the better. Titus unlocked the door, but when he opened it, the person he saw wasn’t who he had expected. “Max?” Titus called. It has been a week since she left, and she is already back?“Can I come inside?” Max replied with a smile. Titus could feel her aura. She was very happy.“Sure, come in.” He cleared the way for her to pass. Ti
CHAPTER 129A COINCIDENCESelena nodded. She knew she could have seen him somewhere. “I remember seeing you on the day of the moon festival. I knew your face was familiar.” Titus was confused. Is she pulling some sort of prank? He looked at her again. “Selena, are you alright?” She nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you again for the save, if you have time. I could buy you coffee as a proper thank you.” “No thanks.” “I will go now.” When she turned to leave, Titus stopped her when he noticed the gemstone around her wrist. “Where did you get that?” He asked. He thought that he had misplaced it. If anything separates him from his wolf, that gemstone will always bring him back. “Do you mean this?” Selena specified the gemstone, and Titus nodded. “I don’t remember. I can’t remember buying it either, but it is beautiful right?” “Yes, it is.” “I will leave now. My friends will be angry that I’m away for so long.” She waved as she began walking towards the door. Max turned to Titus the
CHAPTER 130DEVIL IS IN LOVE BUT SCARED “He is in love, Tyler, and if I try not to pursue her, the Devil will. My heart raced like crazy. You have no idea.” Of course he does. His heart is also racing, but it is not because he is in love with Selena or trying to ruin his friend’s chance. The two of them getting together is a bad idea. What would happen if they both learned about the past? Selena will hate him for her father’s death, and he will despise her for being the child of a hunter who murdered his parents. As far as Tyler knows, Titus will not let this go if he finds out. He would slaughter her entire family and not feel guilty about it. He has to prevent him from repeating his mistake. Certain truths are not meant to be discovered as well. Sometimes they are meant to remain hidden in order to save lives. “Titus. Please don’t go, find someone else. I understand it will not be easy, but please listen.” Titus is stubborn. Of course, he will not listen. “I think there are other
CHAPTER 170OH! IT WASN’T A DREAM?“Selena, it’s too late. It’s already getting to my heart. There’s no way I’m going to get through this.”“Stop talking.” Selena sobbed as she struggled to hold Titus in her arms. As they approached the mansion, it was already ablaze. Titus didn’t have the energy to rush inside and save anyone. His brother and the other werewolves were inside, and he could sense their agony. The pain was too much for him to bear, so he shut his eyes right there. “Titus, Titus, Titus!” Selena yelled. “Stay with me. I will save you, okay?” There was no more response, and his body had become completely cold.“Titus. You can’t die now.” She placed him on the ground. “I know you’re hearing me, and you won’t die. I’ll save you. Okay? I’ll heal you.” She held his hand and stared up at the sky. There was no way she could save him. Everything will be over if she shows up too late. Selena started crying, but stopped abruptly when she remembered something. She gasped. “The Red W
CHAPTER 169DECISION BETWEEN FAMILY AND THE PACK “I can’t believe he is been your cousin this entire time. I was curious when he told me his surname, but then he told me some stories about it that made me feel sorry for him. I am sorry I didn’t tell you about Easton.” Selena said. She and Titus talked until morning arrived. He had consoled her and made her feel better the night before, but Selena and Titus still couldn’t believe Tyler had gone. It was just like losing her father. He was gone forever, never to be seen or heard from again. “You’re not to blame. He purposefully approached you. He knew who you were all along and approached you, but he could not turn your mind against us.”“What do you think caused him to do what he did?” “I’m not sure, but I’ve been searching for him for months. He mentioned something about telling me who was on my death-bead. He desperately wanted me to die. Actually, we all assumed he had died. When we were younger, there was this story that circulat
CHAPTER 168THE FORGOTTEN COUSIN “Luna, where have you been?” One of them asked. Her voice was trembling. Selena was confused. She closed the door behind herself as she approached them. “What exactly happened?” “This is what happens when you have a half-breed Luna,” another person commented.“You mean turned?” The first one spoke rudely. She returned her gaze to Selena. “Darkness has fallen over us since you joined our pack. Uncle Theodore died; our pack was attacked, and...” She paused. The words couldn’t leave her mouth. Selena was waiting, but her hand was in hers. When she looked down, she saw Dylan. “Don’t mind them, sister-in-law.” Dylan smiled. “You aren’t to blame. They are simply attempting to direct their anger and blame at someone. If you’re looking for my brother, he is in the graveyard. “He has been there for hours.” “Graveyard? What do you mean?”“You should go and meet him. He’s going to explain everything to you. As you can see, this room is already full of werewo
CHAPTER 167SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED ...your granddaughter is among us. A werewolf.” Patricia began to laugh. “You’re looking for a way out of this. Don’t mind her, father. She is talking nonsense.” “Am I?” Max laughed again. “Here’s an even more shocking story. She is our Luna. Our pack’s female leader. I’m sure you are wondering how this happened. On the night of the red moon, the Alpha bit her and made her one of us. “He’s even married to her right now.” “Nonsense!” Ferdinand yelled in anger. “Believe me; I bet your daughter-in-law knows as well. Selena’s sister was among those involved. They’re doing everything they can to ensure her safety. Even from you, Ferdinand.” “That’s enough!” Ferdinand furrowed his brow. “Get her out of here and make her suffer,” he instructed the two men who approached her.“Get your filthy hands off me!” Max yelled as the two big men grabbed her. She tried to transform, but a sleeping mask was placed over her face, and she immediately fell asleep.
CHAPER 166PINKY SWEAR BEFORE I DIE “You’re making me angry right now.” Ansel spoke as he sprinted towards Titus. Titus has never seen a wolf run that fast. Ansel jumped immediately, his claws long and sharp. Titus raised one leg to protect himself, but then he heard a low groan. He moved his leg away from his face and noticed Tyler in front of him. Tyler fell instantly, and Titus caught him before he hit the ground. Tyler’s mouth dripped with blood as he gradually reverted to human form. Titus focused his gaze on him. He called “Tyler.” As Tyler attempted to talk, more blood gushed out of his mouth. “Shh. Don’t say anything.” Titus examined the wound that Ansel had caused, which was quite deep. “Why are you not healing?” “He cannot. He is already as good as dead.” Ansel began laughing. He showed Titus a rib that he had broken from Tyler’s. “He is incomplete without this. He will die, Alpha, and I will return to finish you.” Ansel started laughing wickedly as he walked away with th
CHAPTER 165MY NAME IS ANSEL AND I’M 10 TIMES STRONGER Titus began to laugh. “How convenient for you all to believe the Alpha would lay down and give you his head without a fight.” Max took a deep breath before starting her car. She hasn’t heard from her brother in days. Reaching him through a mindlink was also impossible. It had never happened before, and it bothered her. She started her car and drove away from the school. As she drove, she was overcome with mourning over Uncle Theodore’s death. The fact that he had abandoned them was still unbelievable. Max came to a halt when she saw two cars in the distance blocking her path. She turned off her engine and looked forward. She saw a slim, tall woman and two men approach her. Max waited in her car for a while to see if they were actually coming towards her. “Your name must be Max. The pale sister of Alexander Terry,” said the woman, smiling. Max was inquisitive. “And who are you? How do you know my name?” “My name is Patricia,
CHAPTER 164WE’RE UNDER ATTACK “It was unbelievable.” Tyler sighed. “I will talk to him, Luna. You don’t need to worry. Titus isn’t such a person like that. I know him well; I will talk to him, and you two will be fine in no time. Right now, I’m on my way to his house. I will make sure he speaks with you.” Tyler hung up the phone and put it in his pocket. He felt a sensation when he put his hand on the doorknob. He opened the door, and his jaw dropped open. Tyler walked inside and slowly closed the door behind him. Standing in the doorway, he noticed several girls in bikinis walking around. Some people were carrying bottles of wine as they passed by. One person was seen dancing to the music while not wearing a bra or shorts. Entirely naked. “Titus?” In his search for his friend, he passed by those girls. “Hello, handsome. Come have some fun with us!” One of the girls commented as she rubbed her hands all over him. “Absolutely not!” Tyler said as she dashed towards the stairwell. L
CHAPTER 163I, TITUS THE ALPHA REJECT YOU SELENA “You should leave here, Selena.” Titus stood up. “I think you should go.”“Well. I won’t leave until you tell me what is wrong with you. Titus, you need me.” Titus began to laugh. “Do I need you?” He just shook his head. The last thing he needs is a murderer’s daughter. The daughter of the murderer of his parents. And the last thing she needs is the man who stole her father away from him. She isn’t at fault, but he still can’t be with her unless he bears a great deal of guilt. Titus turned his back to her. “Leave while I’m still being very nice to you.” “Titus. Is this some sort of prank? Because if it is, I don’t think I’ll enjoy this game as much.” Selena approached him. “Titus. What’s going on?” She took his hands and placed them against her face. “Do you love me? You expressed your love for me, and I reciprocated. Didn’t we say forever? We got married, right?” Titus worked hard to keep the tears at bay. He was in pain, but he re
CHAPTER 162A PICNIC “I was surprised when she told my sister she would return early.” Selena left his side and went back to her closet. “What are your thoughts on this one?” “But it is pretty thin. There’s a lot of cold outside.” “You, Selena, are a werewolf. You don’t feel cold. Come on, if you need fur, I can cover you with mine.” Selena blushed as she grabbed the top from him. “You’re so good with words.” She wore the top and retrieved her trousers from the bed. Selena was ready in no time. When she had finished, she turned to face Titus. “Let’s get the fuck outta here,” she exclaimed. They started their walk right into the woods. When Selena suggested taking the car, Titus declined. He wanted to spend the remaining hours holding her hand and keeping her close to him. They chuckled their way to the nearest tree, holding hands. Selena was astounded by what she was seeing. She came to a stop and looked at him. “No, you didn’t.” She was stunned. Titus nodded. “I hoped to see a
