Selena povSlowly I start to come out of the darkness and start to register my surroundings. Trying to listening for any sound around me before I try to open my eyes.I don't hear anything at the moment and all I can smell is some herbs floating around me. I don't recognize the smell at all!Opening my eyes I have to adjust my eyes to the brightness in the room. Blinking repeatedly before my vision becomes clear and I start to look around in the room. I'm laying in a bed in what looks like a large bedroom. Some heavy curtains are slightly covering the windows, trying to move my arms and legs I have to get up from the bed and try to get out of here!Moving my fingers I try to reach for my wolf but she feels cut off and I can't pull on any of my gifts. I feel weak and I guess whatever they put inside the chocolate is still in my system!Trying to move my arms I managed to get one up to my face.I feel numb in my body and the moment I move a bit with my head to try and get up dizziness h
Kian povJessie pushes by me and walks over to where Cannon is standing."This is Elijah's office!" she says and I can't help but growl out loud."You're telling me Elijah is behind all this?" I say through gritted teeth and have to clench my hands into fists. When I get a hold of him he won't take another breath."yes, it is! But why would he be involved in this? He's just a human!" Jessie says when I see Cannon walk inside the office and we all walk closer to see him sniff around at everything before he comes to stand right in front of us in the doorway."He's a vampire! Who can mask his scent, something strange is going on here!" Cannon says when I try to remember if I noticed anything when I met him that day in the meeting room."I didn't pick up anything strange about him when we met at the meeting!" I say in anger and look at Cannon. How is it possible for us all to miss it? He has been right under our nose and none of us was alarmed about him!"you ain't the only one! And we ha
Kian povComing out in the living room I see them all standing over the table in the room and looking down at something.Walking closer I see some papers and a map on the table.Stopping by the table I look down and the map and see it's over the area behind the cave, where there aren't any packs and we suspect the rogue to have a camp.On one place on the map are some coordinates written, looking at it it's just partly written and I can guess one part of the location but not all."he probably has taken her there! On the other side. But what are the coordinates pointing at?" Declan says out loud what I guess we all are thinking about."Is this everything you have found?" I ask them and start to gather the papers. They are coming with us"I haven't found anything else!" Cannon says."There are some cans with herbs in the kitchen we have to bring back to Emma!" I say when I see Zoey walk over to the kitchen and come out after a little while with a can in her hand.She looks at it and I c
Kian povNo one says a word at first! Walking closer to where they all are standing I turn my head and look at Emma, I know there is something she knows."What is it, Emma?" I ask and have to contain my anger from bursting out, this is not her fault!I see her hang with her shoulders before she slowly lifts her eyes to look at me."The chocolate you brought is spiked with some of his blood!" she says and I see how sad she is in her eyes."the chocolate is what?!" I boom out and now I can't contain my anger at all! When I get my hands on him I'm going to enjoy my time before I end him!"Yes and I believe I know why he has done it!" she says in a low voice and takes a step back. I know my anger is about to burst, I only need a small push and I won't be able to control it any longer."Kian you have to calm down first!" Declan says and I feel his hand on my arm, I try to take deep breaths and get my emotions under control."tell me! Why!" I say and look at her. She takes another step back
Selena povFeeling a hand petting my head I try to open my eyes, my body feels numb and hot!"you're waking up! I was afraid it would take a lot longer." I hear his voice beside me and snap my eyes open to stare right at the ceiling.Feel his presence beside me on the bed and turn my head to look at him, he is laying there with a smile on his lips and just the sight of him sends a chill down my spine.I try to move my hands and my body but I feel numb and my body is so heavy."I drank a bit too much of your blood! Couldn't stop in time and had to give you some of mine to keep your heart beating, we will have to work on it once we are mated! I don't want to suck you dry because you taste so good" he says and leans closer to my face, I try to turn my head away from him when he takes his hand behind my head and holds a hard grip before he captures my lips with his.Holding my lips tight shut I try to move from my place when he lets go of my lips and head, his hand starts to travel down m
Kian pov She holds my hands in hers for a moment before she lets go and takes a step back, looking down at my hand I don't hesitate and take both lids off and swallow both potions in one go. They taste awful and I almost have them come up again. Handling her them back again I turn around and start to walk out of there with everyone else. "Cannon I need to talk with you before you leave!" Emma says and Cannon stops and turn back to her while the rest of us give them some time to themselves. Outside the house, we stop and wait for him on the lawn. "I have mind linked Jacob what's going on and he will handle everything here, you have two of your men here, shall they come with us?" Jessie asks and remembering who Cannon brought here I mind link them and ordering for them to head back with us. They are two of the best warriors to bring with us on this trip, they never hesitate to go into any fight! "yes, they are coming!" I tell her when Cannon comes walking out of the house with da
Kian povThe car ride has taken several hours, and I have used the time to look at every map of the area I can find and satellite footage.All I have been able to see is a thick forest over the area and nothing has been revealed on the ground."we're almost there!" Cannon says when we take off from the main road.It has started to get dark outside and it won't take long before the sun has completely gone down.Cannon gets a phone call and answers it!Trying to listen to who it is I instantly figure out it's Emma by the tone of his voice. He ends the phone call after a short moment and drags a hand down his face, at the sight of him, he didn't get any good news from her."can you tell me what that was about?" I ask him when he doesn't say anything."I guess we have found out how he can know about the herb and make the potions," he says when the car comes to stop outside the pack house and looking over at the entrance I see the Alpha and his men standing and waiting for us."How?" I ask
Selena povHe gave me the syringe in my thigh and the pain it brought to me made me pass out, I even wished for death to take me instead.I thought this was it when the bond started to fade away, it felt like a part of me where about to die when suddenly the thin thread that connected me to Kian stopped and pulled away. Just like it's laying somewhere deep down, not completely gone but broken.My heart feels like it has shattered into small pieces and the only one who can mend it together is Kian.Tears run down my cheeks where I lay in the bed, prisoned in my own body not able to move or fight him, my heart goes out to Kian, and the thought he won't survive this brings a sob to my lips, he is my mate!I should be stronger than this! I should be strong enough to fight for my destined mate, but I'm nothing more than a breathing blood bag right now to feed Elijah's obsession with me!Opening my eyes I look right into a pitch-black room, not a light in sight and I know it has to be in th
Selena pov Five years later. Walking outside to the garden we are having a dinner out here with our friends at my pack, the grill is lit and our kids are running around and playing together. Seeing Destiny running around with Jessie's daughter on the lawn, they are best friends and have been since day one they met. I'm happy they got each other and love to hang out, Emma and Cannon got a son and he is playing with our other daughter while Mateo is kicking a football with Kian. "Dezz slows down a bit, I don't want you to fall and get hurt!" I shout to her when she halts in her track and looks at me. "I'm not falling!" she says and picks up her pace when she starts running again, she has always been fast and quick to learn anything. Much faster than her brother and I only hoped we could have lifted the curse from her. Through all these years I don't know how many witches we have met to try and solve this puzzle, Michael and Emma have done everything they possibly could have done bu
Selena povLaying on my side I feel a kick in my rib and grunt from the pain when Kian's hand comes down to my stomach and caresses it."Is she giving you a hard time?" he says and traces his nose down my neck before he places a kiss on my shoulder."not more than usual!" I say and roll to lay on my back when he looks down on me."What does my beautiful wife want to do today!" he says and I sigh."eat and sleep, mabie take a bath but you won't get me out of this room today!" I say and try to sit up from the bed, we got married a week ago even if we tried to rush it my pregnancy was as fast as last time and I'm about to go into labor any day now."you don't have to do anything! The twins are with my parents until she has arrived!" he says and helps me to sit up from the bed. Swinging my legs over the edge of the bed when Kian helps me to stand up, looking down at my stomach it looks like it has drooped lover and this time I'm more prepared for what is to come and takes it easy these da
Selena pov1year laterFeeling him trace his hand up my thigh before he places it on my waist and pulls me close to him, it's early in the morning and our kits haven't wake up yet."it's time for us to head up if we are going to get ready in time for our trip, you know we promised the others!" Kian says and places a kiss on my shoulder before he turns me on my back, I sigh and open my eyes tired right now and wish we didn't promise to go with the rest and shopping today they wanted for us all to go." I don't remember I promised to go!" I say and pull the quilt over my head, could lay all day in here instead of going. Hearing him chuckle before he pulls the quilt off me and climbs over me instead."it's time for you to get up and get dressed!" he says and pecks my lips when I wrap my arms around his neck instead." or we could stay in here all day instead!" I say when he laughs and gives me a kiss."Not today love!" he says and takes my arms away from his neck before he get out of the
Selena povMy mother comes over and places our daughter in my arms she is hungry and in a short moment, she will be screaming at the top of her lungs if she doesn't get food right away.Walking inside the nursery I take a seat on the couch and start to feed her when I see them change on our son, he is calm and hopefully, I manage to get our daughter full before it's his time to eat.When I'm done feeding both of them I hand them over and go to get the breast pump, I still got some left and it's good to have in store if there ever going to need it."Kian is waiting for you downstairs!" a maid comes inside the room and tells me, taking the bottle in my hand when I'm done I adjust my dress and get up from the couch when the nanny comes over and stops in front of me."let me take the bottle and you can get down to eat instead!" she says and I give it to her."Alright, I'm downstairs if there is anything and will be up again in a bit!" I say when she takes the bottle and walks over to my m
Selena povJessie stands from her seat when we start to walk out of my office together."I wonder what she has in mind for you!" she says and chuckles and when it comes to Emma you never know."yeah, this will be interesting!" I say and chuckle with her when we make our way down the hallway and over to my room, hearing her being in my closet I'm about to head over when she comes out and stops me."no, you don't get to see anything before I'm done! Come on!" she says and grabs my arm before leading me over to my bathroom." You know I can find my way in here myself!" I say when she pushes me inside and is about to close the door."Now you take a shower and shave properly, don't want to see chunks of hair on your legs after!" she says and looks sternly at me before she closes the door, I just stand there puzzled and looking at the closed door when I hear her walk around in the room before I shake my head at her and start to undress.Placing my clothes in the wash bin I head over to the
Selena povWe spend a long time searching behind the cave yesterday but none of them could find anything, at one point we had to give up and go home.Michael took the book with him to continue figuring it out more, he will come back with it once they have done what they can.I had my appointment with the doctor today and everything was fine, could have told him that without being examined but Kian insisted to make sure and I went for his sake. After feeding and being with our children until lunch I decided I needed to head over to my pack and look at things haven't been there for a long time.Both my mother and Kian's wanted to stay with our children while I'm away for a few hours, we got two nannies and one is with them all the time I know everything will be alright and Kian is in the house but I still have a hard time being away from them.There is a knock on my office door and Jessie walks inside and heads over to take a seat in front of the desk." how do you feel?" I ask her when
Selena povHe is holding the book in his hands when he walks closer to the table, we where ready and everyone gets up on their feet."let's talk inside my office!" Kian says and starts to head out of the kitchen, we follow after him when Kian opens the door to his office and we all walk inside.I walk over and stand beside the office desk when Kian comes to stand beside me, he places his arm around my waist and I look up at him over my shoulder when I place my hand over his.I'm nervous about what Michael has found!Turning my head back I see Michael standing over our daughter who is laying in Emma's arms and she seems happy about it." whenever you want to begin!" Kian says and I know he is ass eager to know as I am. Michael looks up at us and takes a step over to the table where he places the book down."I suggest we take a seat!" he says. Emma and Cannon start to walk when she walks over and hands me our daughter back, pulling her close to me when she is in my arms I place my head
Selena povIt takes a moment before he turns his head to look at me, he has a smile on his lips and I know he agrees to it."It's perfect!" he says and takes our daughter's other hand and leans down to talk to her."our little destiny!" he says and strokes her cheek before pulling her up with him."I will take Mateo over to the nursery and place him down for sleep before I change my clothes then I'm ready to head down, I say and get up from the bed and start to head for the door."we will be waiting here for you!" he says when I reach the door and pull it open before walking out in the hallway and over to the nursery, the nanny is inside and changing the linen in one of the cribs when I walk over and place our son down in his crib."our daughter is awake and we are heading down for a meeting, we will be taking our daughter with us! If he wakes up you can come down to the kitchen or Kian's office with him." I say when I place the quilt over him, I know he probably will be sleeping for
Selena povLooking at Kian when he walks inside the room with our son in his arms I smile at how gorgeous he looks, wouldn't I already be completely hooked on him just this sight of him with our child in his arms had made me fall for him completely."Michael wanted to come over and talk!" I tell him when he walks inside the room and stops by the bed, our daughter is done eating and needs to be burped when we change children.I try to breastfeed them as much I can but sometimes we give them extra milk so I can have a longer rest between, offering our son the breast he is quick to take it and start eating."has he found any clue?" Kian ask and I'm not sure they have been able to solve it but when he said he wanted to come over and talk it gave me some hope for all this."I don't know I hope they got some news," I say and see him burping our daughter, I don't know if it's my hormones that are running havoc in my body but I get weak in my knees by just looking at him and I'm sitting down
