Alpha Sebastian.Waking up the next morning, I could feel the weight of the last impending challenge on my shoulders even after spending an amazing day with Selene yesterday at her spa surprise date… Today was the day the elders of the Yellowstone pack were going to determine who would become the next alpha male between my brother Damon and me. The air crackled with anticipation as I stretched my tired muscles, mentally preparing myself for what lay ahead.Oh goddess, please let this day pass by quickly. I sighed heavily and then looked at my bedroom window.The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden hue over the bedroom I had spent a mere few moments because I had always been favoured to spend more of my time with Selene except last night, she surprisingly insisted I sleep in my room because I needed the rest before today's unknown challenge her elders were cooking up.And I guess she was right. Selene's elder's challenges were getting harder than the last hence I needed to
Alpha Damon.Waking up the next morning after Selene's indirect rejection because she preferred Sebastian to me, my head pounded as sunlight slipped inside my room. The bottles of alcohol were lying all over the floor and the stench was horrible.I groaned as I tried to fight the aftermath of the red pills… I took so many last night at the club and blackout that I don't even remember how I got home. I dragged myself out of bed went into the shower and took a cold shower to awaken my senses.Fuck the water felt cold but it was just what I needed. I get dressed casually because today is the day of the last challenge before I claim my bride solely for myself. I winked at myself in the mirror after being satisfied with my appearance before walking out.Now where is everyone??? The castle felt quieter than usual and I'm curious where everyone is at.When I got downstairs, the whole place is smelling divine but not more than Selene's intoxicating scent, hence I followed my nose and see her,
Alpha Selene:Waking up the next morning after my amazing spa day with Sebastian, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders because finally, I told Damon who I preferred - Sebastian.Yeah, we didn't spend the night together because I wanted him to get enough rest to succeed at the last challenge that loomed before him and his brother.Sebastian was the one for me and just the thought of him awoke all my fibres in my being and I knew I couldn't live without him. I sighed merrily while I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before heading out to awaken my man in readiness for the last challenge."Good morning my lady," an omega servant bowed her head as soon as I walked out of my room, I stopped and my tracks and smiled."Good morning to you too. Can you please go to the kitchen and take out everything I need to prepare breakfast." I gently pinched her pale cheeks and she flushed while peeking at me."As you command my lady," she responded in a hesitant voice and I
Alpha Damon,Upon catching a glimpse of Selene collapse beside Sebastian's lifeless body, my heart skipped a beat, I swiftly made my way to her side and carried her bridal style in my hands."Warriors," I growled menacingly and then two warriors came running towards me. " Pick up my brother and take his body to the morgue immediately, and everyone, I order you to go to your homes now, the burial of my brother will be announced to everyone shortly," I ordered and the crowd dispersed hesitantly while the warrior's hasty carried my brother away.I looked at Selene, and I could feel her heartbeat slowing down, I knew I had to take her to the hospital immediately, or else I would be mourning two people I loved the most.I sighed heavily and then made my way to the hospital where the medical team immediately took her into the emergency room."Please take good care of her," I ordered and the doctor nodded with a serious gaze.Oh goddess please spare her life. My heart was racing and I kept p
Alpha DamonThe next day...It was a full moon and I stuffed myself with more red pills than I had ever taken in one day just to calm my raging nerves and go through the day without having a meltdown in front of the pack members. Selene was clearly still hung up on Sebastian's death hence she had mistaken me to be my twin and that angered me but I vowed to give her time and grieve him.Heck, I too needed to grieve my brother's untimely death, hence I made my way through the grand corridors of the castle to the ballroom, the weight of the day pressed upon my shoulders like an iron cloak. Today was the day of my twin brother Sebastian's funeral, an event that would forever mark a dark chapter in my life. The air was heavy with grief, and the castle, once filled with joy and laughter, now echoed with somber whispers.I swallowed as I entered the ballroom where the mourning was taking place, My heart clenched in anguish while I blamed myself for everything that was going on. Selene was
Alpha Selene,When I awoke and was cleared by the doctor, I left the confines of the hospital, grief clung to me like a suffocating shroud. The world around me seemed numb and distant, my every step heavy with the weight of sorrow. My beloved mate, Sebastian, was gone, leaving an irreparable void within my soul. And now all I desired was to join him in the afterlife, to escape the unbearable ache that gnawed at my heart.Sebastian, why did you have to leave me alone in this world??? I whimpered during the funeral procession I dreaded because this was just another reminder that he was truly gone… I sighed heavily as I saw Damon walk into the ballroom full of mourners. I scoffed internally and then fixed my gaze on Sebastian's peaceful body… he looked like he was in a deep sleep and would wake up if I kissed his purple lips. I swallowed slowly as my world faded away.The only thing in my mind was a vivid memory of us on our spa date…'I promise to come back to you and mark you baby,' h
Alpha Selene,No, I can't be pregnant. Damon is just saying things to mess with my mind. Besides, why would I even trust him after he killed his brother?I sneered silently while glaring at him.What was he trying to get out of telling me I was pregnant? That I would accept him if the baby was his?Oh, hell na… I poked my flat stomach hoping I would feel anything inside of me but I felt nothing apart from being bloated a little but that was normal when a woman's period was about to start."Damon, please get out of my room," I ordered and he sighed softly."Listen, Selene," his tone softened," I know you hate me and all that stuff, but what I'm telling you is true. You are pregnant and the doctor confirmed it." He said in a sincere voice.I narrowed my eyes at him, trying so hard to figure out if he was lying and he did not budge. His face remained sincere.'Maybe let's give him the benefit of the doubt and believe what he said,' Snow said through mind link, My heartbeat slowed down.'
Alpha Selene,A few minutes later, Damon pulled up in the driveway to the castle, I stepped out, wearily yet happy knowing that I was pregnant for Sebastian, each footstep echoing through the vast hallways which were now filled with the servants dressed in black, accompanying the ache and slight joy in my heart.I was going to be a mother."My lady, " Beta Hana called to me with a pastoral vase with a lid in her hands with a solemn face. I turned to face her."The elders were looking for you at the funeral," she bowed slightly in submission and faced me.I sighed heavily as my eyes dropped to the vase and I immediately knew why I was being looked for.Sebastian's remains had to be scattered by me because I was his fated mate."I wasn't feeling too well to stay until the end of the funeral procession" I replied with a lie because I didn't want everyone else to know that I left to commit suicide because my life sucked without Sebastian."Oh, okay, I understand… Anyway, the elders wanted
Alpha Damon,Waking to the most beautiful woman on the planet my eyes had ever set on, I smiled feeling contentment wash over me with everything good I had going on in my life and today, I was edger to say something nice about the brother I had become so envious of because of my selfish claims on Selene…"Okay, red is definitely your color babe…Ready?" Selene's voice resonated from behind me while I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before I walked out of the castle."Yes, I am, are you ready?" I turned around and caught the most beautiful sight. Selene was clad in our traditional red ensemble we wore during memorial services."I am. Mother, father, and Orion have already started off, let's get going before we are late," she said and I walked closer to her scenting her intoxicating scent, I smiled."After you, my lady," I placed my hand on her waist, and she let out a crimson tight-lipped smile.We walked out of the castle, straight into our car which was waiting for us… Th
Luna Selene,Returning home from an amazing vacation, I couldn't wait to hold my son because I felt like he missed me so much, I was going to smother him with unconditional love to make up for all the moments I missed out in his life because of what I was going through the past few months.After the vacation, I felt reborn and ready to take on the world, and then Mom and Dad dropped a book on us as soon as we arrived."We want to host a memorial service in honor of your brother tomorrow," father's authoritative voice boomed, I pretended to be busy with my son Orion as he revealed what the pack members were fussing about.I can't deny but Sebastian's topic was a touchy one because in as much as I had moved on, part of me still loved him, and maybe that's why I was seeing his image once in a while during our vacation… but then again, Esmeralda had said it's an evil version of him that wanted to claim me…I sighed heavily as I watched Damon silently walk away from us minutes after we arr
Alpha Damon,An amazing week later, I breathed in the familiar scent of my pack's territory as the car that picked us up from the airport made its way through the dense forest that led home.Yes, we were home already as the fun-filled week had gone by in a blur, I couldn't wait to see my son and get back into the normal duties I had waiting for me. I sighed heartily."Oh I can't wait to see my baby boy," Selene squirmed softly while looking out at the window as she sat next to me."I'm sure he can't wait to get his mother back," I replied, clasping her hand tightly, she looked at me with a smile."Thank you for always watching out for me," she said with her eyes smiling."You don't have to thank me for anything, I'm your mate and it's my duty to always watch over you my love," I said to her, her smile widened and she rested her head on my shoulder."I love loving you Damon," she said and my heart skipped a beat…The week-long vacation had done wonders for my Luna, Selene, helping her r
Luna SeleneThe next morning after spending a whole day doors re-acquitting myself with Damon's sexy body during our sexcapade, the sun's warm morning rays danced upon the azure waves as I felt incredible standing next to my man Alpha Damon on the powdery white sand of the exotic island. "Ready for what I have planned today?" He leaned over and whispered in my ear in a husky voice, my body shuddered deliciously while my brows furrowed."I thought we were doing nothing seeing that last night I barely got any sleep," I responded in a low voice and he smirked mischievously."Oh that's a problem then, because I have the whole day planned with activities that might tire you again," he said and my heart skipped a beat.What did he mean he had the day planned full of activities? I sighed softly looking at the horizon and then Jose pulled up in a four-seater golf cart and walked up to us with a bright smile."Good morning Mr and Mrs shepherd, ready for the fun day ahead?" He clasped his hand
Alpha Damon,Reaching our destination for our much-needed vacation, I strolled along the sun-kissed shores of the exotic island after a night's good rest, feeling the warm grains of sand between my toes. The salty sea breeze played with my hair, while the vibrant colors of tropical birds danced through the air. It was the perfect paradise, for Selene to escape her stressful life back home and get back to her normal self."Good morning, sir," a local passing by me, greeted me warmly, I nodded in acknowledgment. The humans here were so friendly, I did not feel threatened as I explored their territory."How was your first night here with your wife?" Jose appeared from nowhere and began walking with me."Good morning Jose, our night was peaceful for the first time in months," I answered back."Oh that's good to hear sir," he spoke rapidly." So what would you like to do this morning after breakfast?" He asked inquisitively."I don't know, you tell me what I can do with my wife,""Well, the
Luna Selene,weeks prior...As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, I suddenly found myself spiraling into a dark and unsettling world of paranoia after Elder Leon attempted to take our lives... I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being hunted by something so evil. This presence always lurked in the shadows of the night and haunted my dreams and every waking moment. Fear became my best friend as it always gnawed at my heart, for I knew that if this malevolent force succeeded in its deeds, it would not only bring harm to me but also to my cherished loved ones - Orion, and my mate, Alpha Damon...Don't get me wrong, I tried countless times to tell Damon about the dreams but every time I did, this evil presence hunted my dreams with even more gruesome ways it could end Damon's life, I was scared it would actually do the things it showed me, hence I chose to shun away from my family and keep my mouth shut.I sighed heavily while Damon made an effort to put me ba
Alpha Damon,A few months later after everything went back to its normal routine… or so I thought..."No, no, no…" Selene murmured while shaking her head from side to side on her pillow, I woke up and sat next to her wondering what nightmare was threatening to consume her sleep this time around."Babe," I made an effort to reach out to her but she opened her eyes like the undertaker and slapped my hand out of the way, my heart skipped a beat as I was caught off guard by it."Ahh, Damon!" She began screaming frantically as she jerked up from the bed with beads of sweat formed on her forehead while panting. I got hold of her before she could harm herself."Selene, babe" I yelled at her while holding on to her, she flickered her teary eyes, stopped screaming, and looked at me with trembling lips."Damon?" She called my name breathlessly as if she did not recognize me."Yes babe, it's me," I moved closer to her and clasped her head before resting it on my chest."Was I dreaming again?" She
Luna Selene.It has been precisely ten days since I kicked ass because of Elder Leon's stupid failed plan to end my family, and we are now focused on returning to our regular routines, cherishing the joyous moments of nurturing our precious prince Orion."Hey babe, I have just put Orion in his crib. I want to get a show….." I gasped at the sight before me as I entered my bedroom." Hey sexy mama, come over here," Damon called to me using his index finger while he lay on the bed with only a silk white bedsheet covering him up to the waist. I gulped slowly."Hi, "I stuttered faintly as I took a few steps into the room and he let out a naughty smirk, while I could see his stiff rod twitching at my sight. My eyes widened."Come here, Daddy wants to play with you," he said in a husky voice with a wink, my core knotted."Have it been more than 7 days already," I teased with a naughty smirk and he let out a low growl."From my counting, it's been more than 7days,"I let out a tight-lipped sm
Alpha Damon,The moment Selene walked into the dungeon prison-like building where I was being held, I could sense her. From her intoxicating scent and her aura, I undoubtedly knew she had come to my rescue even though I had asked her to stay home and wait for my return with our son.I clenched my fists weakly, my eyes burning with frustration as I stared through the cold, iron bars of my prison cell. The familiar scent of dampness and despair clung to the air, a constant reminder of the dire situation Selene joined. "Women and their impatience," I grunted as I paid attention to their light-quickened footsteps as they walked.Fuck, Selene. Why did you have to come to me? I huffed and puffed even though my body was sluggish from the spell that surrounded me.What was she thinking walking into Elder Leon's trap? I took short breaths while I made an effort to keep my head up even though it felt like I was holding up the heaviest brick I had ever carried on my neck... Oh goddess, please
