SELENE WOLFE

But just as our lips were about to meet, the sound of a throat clearing behind us shattered the moment. We jumped apart, our faces flushing with embarrassment as we turned around to see Luca standing there with a knowing smirk on his face looking absolutely thrilled. I couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance at the interruption, but I knew deep down I needed that interruption.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You two were about to get it,"

Luca said, his tone filled with teasing amusement. I looked at him, and Orion shot him a piercing glare.

"Enjoying the view, Luca?" I quipped, trying to cover up my embarrassment with a sassy remark.

Luca chuckled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, you have no idea," he teased, shooting a playful wink at Orion.

Orion shot him another deadly glare, and Luca raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone," he said, backing away with a mischievous grin.

    ORION BLACKI stepped out of Selene's room, the weight of recent events still lingering in the air. As I began to walk, a lot was swirling in my head, especially after that almost-kiss. It wasn't just a quick moment, more like this big realization that stood out despite all the pack chaos. Thinking about Selene's lips being so close, it got me smiling like I was in a daydream. Honestly, it felt a bit silly, like when you're all warm and fuzzy inside.Attempting to shake off the grin, I took a few steps down the corridor, mentally scolding myself for indulging in such things. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I muttered, "Get a hold of yourself, Orion. There are more pressing matters at hand"Just then I saw Xander and Xavier standing and I immediately activated my cold face.As I approached Xander and Xavier, who were seemingly oblivious to the storm brewing within me."Xander, Xavier," I called out sharply as I approached them in the corridor. They turned to face me, their expressi

    SELENE WOLFEAs Orion left the room, I let out a heavy sigh and stood up from my bed. I walked over to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush, squeezing some toothpaste onto it. As I brushed my teeth, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over me since Orion's departure. It was like a heavy weight on my shoulders, making it hard to breathe.After I finished brushing my teeth, I hesitated for a moment before deciding to take a cold bath. The icy water shocked my system, but I welcomed the sensation. It felt like it was washing away the lingering worries and fears that had been preying on my mind.Feeling refreshed, I dried off and made my way back to my bed. The events of the day played over and over in my mind as I lay down, pulling the covers up to my chin. I closed my eyes, hoping that sleep would find me soon and provide an escape from the chaos of my thoughts. My mind drifted as I daydreamed about a peaceful world where none of these worries existed.

    SELENE WOLFEAs the doctor wrapped up her examination, she assured us that I needed rest and that my memory might gradually return. I was left alone with Orion and Luca, the weight of their worried gazes pressing down on me.Hours passed by, and I found myself drifting in and out of restless sleep. Shadows danced across the walls, adding an eerie quality to the room. It felt as though the darkness held secrets that lurked just beyond my grasp, taunting me with its enigmatic presence.In the depths of my troubled sleep, I felt a sudden shift in the atmosphere, a prickle of awareness that jolted me awake. My heart raced as I scanned the room, the sensation of being watched sending shivers down my spine.And that's when I saw them—sinister figures lurking in the shadows, their eyes gleaming with a malevolent light. My voice caught in my throat as I tried to scream, but no sound escaped. Fear coiled around me, threatening to suffocate me as the figures drew closer, their malevolent intent

    SELENE WOLFE"Selene, are you okay?" I heard and turned around. His voice was hesitant, cautious.I turned to face Xavier, and saw the way his eyes flickered over my face, taking in the tears that I was trying so hard to hold back. "I'm fine, When did you get here?" I said, my voice cold and detached. I didn't want his concern, didn't want his pity.He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Just now, I'm sorry, Selene. We haven't been there for you, and I know we should have. It's just...it's been hard for us too, you know? Losing Mom and Dad, we've been struggling, and I know we haven't been the best siblings. But we've been trying, we really have."I felt the anger rising inside me, the resentment that had been building up for years. "Trying? Is that what you call it? You and Xander have been nothing but cruel to me since the day our parents died. You've treated me like a burden, like I'm nothing but an inconvenience to you both. Like I'm a murderer. And now you want to make excuses f

    SELENE WOLFEAs I drifted off, I felt a sense of calm settle over me, and before I knew it, I was surrounded by a soft, warm glow. I found myself standing in a serene meadow, and to my surprise, my parents stood before me, their eyes filled with love and regret."Mom, Dad" I said, my eyes brimming with tears as I ran to hug them."Selene, we're so sorry," my mother said, her voice filled with emotion. "We love you, and we want you to know how special you are.""Why did you leave me? I needed you, and you were gone when I needed you the most." I said crying."I'm so sorry" My mom said."I miss you both so much. It hurts.""We miss you too baby."My father stepped forward, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Your destiny is about to unfold, my dear. You're special, our precious daughter. Your destiny is intertwined with something extraordinary, something beyond our understanding.""My destiny?" I asked.But they began to fade away, their voices becoming faint whispers in the wind."

    SELENE WOLFE"What do you want?" I snapped, my voice tight with irritation.He just chuckled, his eyes glinting mischievously. "I'm just your guide, sweet Selene. Here to make sure you're not harmed." "Why would I be harmed?""Because, you my dear are one special one."I rolled my eyes, feeling both annoyed and slightly unnerved. "I don't need a guide" I shot back, lying on my bed.But he didn't relent, staying right by my side with a playful grin. "Come on, where's your sense of adventure? You never know what dangers could be lurking around the corner."I huffed in frustration, before standing up and walking out. I was feeling the eyes of the pack members on us as I made our way through the packhouse. They couldn't see him, of course. To them, I probably looked like I was arguing with thin air. And that just made me feel even more irritated.As I entered the garden, I could feel my agitation growing. "Why are you doing this? Why are you following me?" I demanded, trying to keep my vo

    SELENE WOLFE"Selene, why are you crying?" I heard a voice say, and I turned to see Orion walking towards me, a concerned look on his face.I sat on the garden bench, tears streaming down my face as I tried to figure out where Mireya had disappeared to. I had been talking to her just a moment ago, and then she was gone. It didn't make any sense. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, feeling utterly lost and confused."Orion, Mireya was just here and now she's gone," I said, looking around frantically for any sign of her."Mireya? Who's Mireya?" Orion asked, furrowing his brows as he scanned the garden."She's a lady I was talking to just now. I don't understand how she disappeared so fast," I explained, feeling even more confused.Orion looked at me with a strange expression before sighing and shaking his head. "Selene, there's no one else here but us. Are you sure you're feeling alright?"I felt a pang of frustration at his words. "I know what I saw, Orion. She was here, I swear

"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.

"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

    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.

"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.

    "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.
