"Move in?" Selena asked, her brows furrowing in confusion. Wasn’t she already living in the pack house with Hudson?Hudson smirked, a faint hint of amusement playing at the corners of his lips. "Let me show you," he said, his deep voice softening as he stood up from his seat.Without another word, he reached out, gently grasping her hand, and pulling her up with him. The warmth of his touch sent a familiar shiver down her spine, but this time, instead of heat, it was the curiosity bubbling within her that made her heart race. She followed him silently as they left the office, stepping into the cool air.Outside, the moon lit up the pack grounds with a silver glow, creating long shadows from the tall trees that lined the path. The pack house stood behind them. They walked through a thick patch of trees, with the branches above almost blocking the moonlight. Selena could hear the soft crunch of leaves under their feet, the distant howl of a wolf, and the quiet sound of their footsteps a
As Hudson turned toward the closet, Selena’s eyes widened. A large tattoo covered his entire back, showing a fierce golden-eyed wolf—his wolf.But it wasn’t just the tattoo that made her gasp. Beneath it, hidden within the lines of ink, were scars, faint but noticeable, crisscrossing his skin. Her heart tightened as she looked closer.Without thinking, she moved toward him. Her hand trembled as she reached out, lightly tracing the tattoo with her fingertips. His skin felt warm, almost unreal, and she could feel the energy coming from him. But her focus stayed on the scars.Hudson sensed her behind him and turned around. He saw the strange, almost vulnerable look on her face.“What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice softer than usual.“You have so many scars,” Selena whispered, her voice shaking. “Does it hurt?”Hudson chuckled lightly and shook his head. “No, it doesn’t hurt. They’re old scars from fights with other packs. I got them in battles that needed to be won.” He paused for a momen
Selena got ready with Betty’s help, and as she stood in front of the mirror, she barely recognized herself. Her hair was perfectly styled, and the dress hugged her figure in all the right places, highlighting her natural beauty. She was amazed at how beautiful she looked.“I can still smell Alpha’s scent on you,” Betty teased, a mischievous grin on her face as she gave Selena’s look a final touch-up. “Seems like you had a great night.”Selena’s cheeks flushed bright red.Betty laughed, “Oh, don’t be shy. You deserve to glow after being claimed by your Mate.” Selena bit her lip, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anxiety. "I just hope I don't embarrass Alpha," she muttered. “You won’t Selena,” Betty said firmly, her tone was serious. “Just remember, you’re going there as the Luna of the Crimson Knight pack. You’re not just anyone—you’re Alpha Hudson’s strength, his better half. People will judge you, yes. There will be eyes on your every action, waiting for you to slip up. Some migh
I wanted to tell Alpha Hudson the truth, that they wouldn't be pleased to see me there. He was the only one invited, not me. But how could I say it? My throat felt tight, and the panic was rising like a tidal wave, my heart hammering so fast it felt as though it might tear free from my chest.Anxiety gripped me, filling every part of me with dread. There was a tight, uneasy feeling in my stomach like something terrible was going to happen. I didn’t want to face them, the Moonlight Pack. They were not welcoming people, and they certainly wouldn’t be pleased to see me. They wouldn’t even acknowledge my presence, only grow angrier, especially my father.The thought of seeing them, those who had stolen my happiness, my childhood, and nearly my wolf, made me want to disappear. They had shattered me in ways I still struggled to piece back together. I had worked so hard to bury those memories, but being there would force them back, reminding me of the pain I'd fought to forget.But I couldn'
Jenni's icy eyes bore into me, and she gave me a disgusted look, her lips curling into a wicked smirk.“ Who even let you in ?” she repeated, her voice louder this time, drawing the other people's attention. They turned to watch, their laughter fading into silence.I gulped, unable to speak as the words got stuck in my throat. The panic that had been building inside me started to rise. " I came with my mate, sister Jenni" “I’m here with my mate, sister Jenni,” I said, my voice shaky but determined. I refused to let Jenni see me crumble. Not here, not now.“Sister?” Jenni scoffed, her eyes flashing with disdain. “Who do you think you are calling me sister? Don’t you dare relate yourself to me? I don’t want to be associated with a pack slut.”I gasped, her cruel words hitting me like a punch. How could she call me a slut? The shock coursed through me, but I quickly steadied myself. “Sister Jenni,” I began, keeping my voice calm though my heart raced, “Do you really want to ruin the goo
I touched my necklace with a smile. "It was given to me by my alpha.""Oh, so romantic!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "We usually don't find this type of beautiful craftsmanship in our country. Hopefully, after the meeting, we’ll be able to export things like this. I would definitely buy a piece like that!"I smiled back at her, feeling a warmth spreading in my chest. For a princess, she sure was talkative. It felt refreshing to be engaged in a lighthearted conversation like this. “I’m sorry for earlier,” I said, feeling the need to address it. “Sister Jenni and Sister Michal can be trouble sometimes.”Moora chuckled lightly, shaking her head. “Don’t worry about that. You have nothing to apologize for. Are they both your sisters?”“No, they are my brother’s mates,” I clarified.“Oh, but why do they treat you like this?”“It’s a long story. They both hate me,” I replied, a hint of sadness creeping into my voice.“They must be jealous of you,” she suggested, tilti
Hudson POVHudson sat at the head of the long conference table, surrounded by his pack’s leaders, discussing strategy and upcoming alliances. His mind was focused, but a restless feeling tugged at the edge of his mind. His wolf stirred inside him, pacing in the back of his mind, unusually troubled.Something’s wrong.He frowned, trying to push the unsettling sensation aside, but it only grew stronger. His wolf’s growl vibrated in his chest, and suddenly like a whisper carried on the wind, he heard it—a fragile voice, barely above a whisper, but unmistakable.“A-Alpha…”Selena.Hudson shot to his feet, his chair creaking against the floor. The room fell silent as all eyes turned to him, confusion rippling through the meeting. But he didn’t care. His wolf was clawing to get out, desperate to find her, to protect her.Without a word, Hudson stormed out of the room, his senses on high alert. He sniffed the air, his wolf’s heightened instincts steering him as he followed Selena’s scent. It
"Michale!" Alpha Antonio’s voice thundered through the hallway, his growl reverberating off the walls. His eyes burned with barely contained fury as he glared at his daughter-in-law. "Didn't I specifically tell you to stay out of trouble? This meeting was crucial for us!" His fist clenched, and with a sharp motion, he slammed his hand against the wall, the impact echoing with a crack. Jenni and Michale flinched, instinctively taking a step back.Jason and Cable exchanged uneasy glances, their eyes flickering between their mates and their furious father.Alpha Antonio’s gaze turned toward his sons, his voice cold and authoritative. "Jason, Cable, lock your mates in their rooms," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument. "They are forbidden from stepping foot outside until this event is over."Jenni and Michale stiffened, their faces pale with fear and humiliation, but neither dared to protest. Jason nodded stiffly, while Cable's jaw tightened.Alpha Antonio walked out.Jenni an
