SELENE WOLFEThe knock on the door interrupted our conversation, and as the door creaked open, Orion stepped in. His eyes met mine, and a soft smile formed on his lips."Hey, Selene," he greeted, his voice gentle. "It's getting late; we should probably get some rest."Maya and Michelle exchanged mischievous glances, and before I could respond, Michelle chimed in, "Oh no, Orion. It's not your time to sleep. We're having a girls' night, and we've got a lot more to catch up on. You can leave us to our gossip."Maya added, "Yeah, we need to discuss the latest pack drama and dissect every romantic twist. You can join us tomorrow."Orion chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "Girls' night, huh? Well, I guess I'll leave you to it then. Just don't stay up too late."As he left the room, Michelle winked at me, "We've got the night to ourselves now. So spill the details, Selene. Any more supernatural surprises we should know about?".Maya's expression shifted to concern as she asked, "Selene, while you
ORIONI couldn't believe it. I kissed Selene again. And it was incredible just like the first time. She had pulled away from me with a smile on her face, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness. I knew I had to get her back to her room, give her space to process everything that had happened, and to be honest, I needed a moment to myself to process it too.As I walked her back to her room, I couldn't help but replay the moment in my head. The way her lips felt against mine, the way she had leaned into the kiss, the way she had smiled when it was over. It was all so amazing.When we reached her door, I turned to face her, feeling a little nervous all of a sudden. "I hope you have a good night, Selene," I said softly, my heart racing a little at the thought of leaving her.She smiled at me, a warm and genuine smile that made my heart skip a beat. "You too, Orion. Thank you for walking me back."I nodded and watched as she disappeared into her room, the door closing behind her.
I couldn't believe they left. Orion and Selene, just up and left without any warning. They didn't even allow me to respond before they left. It was infuriating, it was not what I had planned, and it left me feeling vulnerable and exposed. I was not at ease. They were supposed to be here, under my watch, and now they were out there, who knows where, doing who knows what. It drove me crazy.I knew I was on edge, but I didn't realize how much until I snapped at Damon. He only asked me a simple question, but I lashed out at him, and the shock on his face made me feel even worse. I guess my anger was seeping into every part of my life, and I was taking it out on those around me without even realizing it.After that incident, I knew I had to do something. I couldn't let my anger control me. I decided to call Orion.The phone rang, and I impatiently tapped my foot while waiting for him to pick up. Finally, I heard his voice on the other end. "Orion,Where are you? Is everything okay there? Th
SELENE WOLFEI had missed this. The freedom to run through the forest, the camaraderie of my fellow pack members, and the joy of spending time with my playful and mischievous pups. There was never a dull moment, and I cherished every single day.One of my favorite activities was gossiping with the girls. Maya and Michelle were my closest friends in the pack, and we could talk for hours about everything and anything. From discussing the latest drama in the pack to sharing our hopes and dreams for the future, our conversations were always spirited and filled with laughter.On lazy afternoons, you could find us lounging in the shade, giggling and whispering about all the pack gossip we had heard. Maya would often tease me about my crush on Orion, the strong and handsome alpha of our pack. She would nudge me and wiggle her eyebrows, making me blush and sputter with embarrassment. Michelle would just roll her eyes and shake her head, but I knew she enjoyed our silly banter just as much as
MAYA BLACKAfter spending a wonderful evening with Sеlеnе and Michеllе, Thе nеxt morning, I was hеadеd to work. Oh I'm thе sеcrеtary of Liam Bianchi, A billionairе.I got to work, grееtеd my collеaguеs, and prepared a cup of coffee for Liam. I madе onе for mysеlf and got to work.Thе morning had bееn going smoothly until my boss suddеnly rеcеivеd a call about a last-minutе mееting in anothеr company. Hе was flustered as hе informеd mе about the unexpected change in plans. I quickly checked his schedule and canceled it for the meeting, apologizing profusely to thе company.Without a momеnt to sparе, wе rushеd to thе othеr company, DRAKOS, and as soon as we woke up, I felt an unsettling prеsеncе wash оvеr mе. The air felt different, unsеttling. My hеаrt quickened as I tried to pinpoint thе source. It hit mе likе a ton of bricks – thе unmistakablе fragrancе of a vampirе."Mr Draco will sее you now" A bеautiful blondе said. Wе wеrе ushered inside an officer and the scent grеw strongеr.I
MAYA BLACKAs I walkеd through thе door of our small apartmеnt, I could fееl thе tеаrs welling up in my еyеs. It had bееn a long day, and all I wantеd to do was collapsе on thе couch and cry my hеart out. I didn't undеrstand why thе moon goddеss had decided to punish me by pairing mе with a vampirе as my matе. It felt like a cruel joke, and thе wеight of it all was crushing mе."Maya, what's wrong?" My twin sistеr, Michеllе, asked as soon as she saw thе tеаrs strеaming down my facе. She rushed оvеr to me and pulled me into a tight hug.I lеt out a sob, burying my facе in hеr shouldеr. "I just can't takе it anymorе, Michеllе. I don't know why this had to happеn to mе."Just thеn, Sеlеnе camе into thе living room and saw mе in tеars, shе ran ovеr to mе."What's wrong?"Michеllе hеld mе at arm's lеngth, concеrn еtchеd across hеr facе. "Maya, you need to tell us what happened. Why arе you so upsеt?"I took a dееp brеath, wiping away my tеars. "You won't believe what happened today, Wе had
VIKTOR DRACOI never expected to be mated to a werewolf. I mean, sure, I knew they existed, but I never thought I would actually be mated to one. It was something that I never prepared for, never even considered. I decided to call my right hand man,Ivan."Hey, Viktor," Ivan answered on the first ring."Ivan, you won't believe it," I said, unable to keep the amusement out of my voice. "My mate is a wolf, and I can sense that she's close to Selene."There was a pause on the other end of the line, and then Ivan chuckled darkly. "Well, that's quite the coincidence, isn't it? Looks like things are about to get interesting."I grinned, feeling a rush of anticipation. "Oh, they're about to get very interesting indeed."We quickly made plans to take advantage of the situation, and I knew that with Maya on our side, we would have the upper hand in finally taking down SeleneI headed back to my apartment, my mind whirling with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Ivan was waiting for me, and as s
DAMONI couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Selene and Orion with Luca, and the people that came with them leaving. The rage that coursed through me was almost unbearable. How dare they take her away from me? I wanted to go after them, to fight for what was rightfully mine, but I couldn't. Selene had made it clear that she didn't want me as her mate anymore, and I had to respect her decision, as much as it pained me cos I broke her first.To make matters worse, my dad had been snapping at me since they left. I was seething with anger, but I had to keep it in check. The last thing I needed was to get into a fight with my father.I paced back and forth in my room, trying to figure out what I could do to get Selene back. I couldn't just sit back and watch her slip away from me. I had to do something, anything, to change her mind.Just then, three girls walked in, their eyes sparkling with mischief. I looked at them, my mind still clouded with thoughts of Selene, the ache of her departu
In the bride's room, Selene's nerves were palpable as she sat in front of the mirror, her wedding gown shimmering around her. Her makeup was flawlessly done, but her hands trembled slightly as she clasped them together in her lap. Sensing her anxiety, Maya and Michelle enveloped her in a warm embrace, their affectionate words a soothing balm to her jittery nerves."Oh Selene, you look absolutely stunning," Maya exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration as she gazed at her sister-in-law-to-be. "Orion is going to be speechless when he sees you."Michelle nodded enthusiastically, her smile radiant with sisterly affection. "You're going to make the most beautiful bride, Selene," she chimed in. "We're so lucky to have you as a part of our family, and now you're going to be marrying our brother. It's like a dream come true."Tears welled up in Selene's eyes as she listened to their heartfelt words, feeling overwhelmed by their love and support. "Thank you, Maya, Michelle," she murmured, h
Orion groaned as he tried to rouse his groomsmen from their alcohol-induced slumber. "Come on, you lazy bunch, it's time to get up," he urged, shaking Luca's shoulder gently.Luca grumbled incoherently, batting away Orion's hand as he tried to pull the covers off him. "Go away, Orion, it's too early," he muttered, burying his head deeper into the pillow.Xander and Xavier were no better, their heads pounding from the festivities of the bachelor party the night before. "Can't we just sleep for five more minutes?" Xander groaned, his voice muffled by the pillow.Orion chuckled, undeterred by their protests. "Sorry, boys, but we've got a wedding to get to," he replied, his tone laced with amusement.But his groomsmen were having none of it, their hangovers making them decidedly uncooperative. "I swear, Orion, if you don't leave us alone, I'm never speaking to you again," Xavier threatened, his words slurred from the lingering effects of the alcohol.Orion laughed, knowing that his friend
As they entered the wedding dress shop, Selene's eyes widened in awe at the array of beautiful gowns that adorned the racks. "Wow, there are so many options," she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.Maya and Michelle grinned eagerly as they began browsing through the dresses, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Let's find you the perfect dress, Selene," Maya declared, her voice filled with determination.Selene nodded eagerly, her heart racing with excitement as she began trying on gown after gown. "I can't wait to see how they look on you," Valina chimed in, her voice filled with anticipation.But as Selene tried on dress after dress, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment as none of them seemed to quite capture the vision she had in mind. "I don't know, none of these feel quite right," she admitted, her voice tinged with frustration.Maya and Michelle exchanged concerned glances as they watched Selene's disappointment grow with each passing dress. "Don't
As Selene finished her breakfast, Maya and Michelle excitedly grabbed her by the arms, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Come on, Selene, we've got a wedding to plan!" Maya exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement."Yeah, we need to find the perfect dress for you," Michelle chimed in, her grin widening as she eagerly pulled Selene towards the door.Selene laughed as she allowed herself to be dragged along, her heart fluttering with excitement at the thought of planning her wedding with her friends by her side. "Alright, alright, I'm coming," she said with a playful roll of her eyes, her voice filled with affection.As they made their way out of the house, Selene spotted Valina waiting by the door, her eyes bright with excitement. "Are you ready to go, Selene?" Valina asked eagerly, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.Selene nodded eagerly, her heart pounding with excitement as she linked arms with Valina and her sisters. "Let's do this," she said with a grin, her voi
Selene's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson, she opened her mouth to speak, but her words came out in a jumbled mess of stutters and half-formed sentences. The room fell silent, the awkward tension thickening with each passing moment as Selene struggled to find her voice."I-I'm so sorry, I-I..." Selene stammered, her words trailing off into an embarrassed mumble as she fidgeted nervously in her seat.A few nervous chuckles rippled through the room, the pack members exchanging amused glances as they tried to suppress their laughter. But before the laughter could escalate, Orion shot them a stern glare, his eyes flashing with warning."Alright, that's enough," Orion said firmly, his voice cutting through the awkward silence like a knife. "It's not funny. Let's move on."The pack members quickly sobered up at Orion's commanding tone, their laughter dying down as they exchanged sheepish glances. Selene breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for Orion's intervention as she attempted to c
Soon, Luca and Valina ushered everyone out with a mock bow, the room buzzed with laughter and excitement, the air filled with the lingering warmth of congratulations and well-wishes."Thank you all for coming!" Luca called out, a playful twinkle in his eye as he gestured towards the door. "We'll see you soon!"Valina grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she added, "And don't forget to save some cake for us!"As the last of the guests exited the room, Selene and Orion found themselves alone at last, the soft glow of candlelight casting a warm embrace around them.Orion leaned in close to Selene, his voice low with amusement. "Did you see that? Something's definitely going on with Luca and Valina," he whispered, a knowing smile playing on his lips.Selene nodded, her laughter bubbling up at the playful antics of their friends. "Oh, I know! The sparks were practically flying between them," she replied, her eyes sparkling with amusement.As Selene and Orion settled in for their in
Selene's heart fluttered at his words, memories of that day flooding back to her with overwhelming clarity. She remembered the warmth of his smile, the kindness in his eyes, and the way he had paid for her coffee without a second thought.Orion's gaze never wavered as he continued, his voice filled with sincerity. "Since that day, you've brought so much light and love into my life. You've been my rock, my confidante, and my greatest source of joy. And as I stand here before you now, I realize that I never want to spend another day without you by my side."Tears streamed down Selene's cheeks as she listened, her heart overflowing with love for the man kneeling before her. Every word he spoke resonated deep within her soul, reaffirming the depth of their connection and the strength of their bond."And so, Selene," Orion concluded, his voice filled with emotion, "I ask you now, in front of our family and friends, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you stand by my side, th
"Actually, Selene, I was thinking we should get the cake from that bakery across town," Maya interjected, her tone eager.Selene's brow furrowed in confusion. "Across town? Maya, that's quite a distance. Are you sure?"Maya's enthusiasm didn't waver. "I know it's a bit out of the way, but trust me, it's worth it for that cake."Selene hesitated, considering Maya's request. "Hmm... okay then. If you say so. We'll make the trip for the perfect cake.""Thanks, Selene! You won't regret it, I promise. See you soon!" Maya's voice exuded excitement."Alright, Maya. See you soon," Selene replied, still feeling a bit perplexed by Maya's insistence but willing to go along with her friend's plan.Xander and Xavier inquired about the sudden urgency, Selene explained Maya's unexpected craving for a cake from a distant bakery. The brothers exchanged a knowing glance, a subtle smile playing on their lips as they caught on to Maya's plan."Ah, I see," Xander remarked, his tone tinged with amusement.
As Maya and Michelle hurriedly set up the table for the romantic dinner, their excitement bubbling over, they dashed off to find the chef and share their plans."Chef, chef!" Maya exclaimed breathlessly, her eyes shining with excitement as she approached the elderly man.The chef looked up from his cooking with a bemused smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he took in the eager expressions of the two sisters. "What's all the excitement about, girls?" he asked, his voice filled with amusement.Michelle leaned in close, her voice barely above a whisper as she shared their secret plan with the chef. "We're setting up a romantic dinner for our brother, Orion," she explained, her tone filled with excitement. "He's going to propose to his girlfriend tonight!"The chef's eyes widened in surprise, a chuckle escaping his lips at the news. "Well, well, it's about time," he remarked, his voice tinged with amusement. "Orion's a good man. He deserves happiness."Maya and Michelle nodded eag
