SELENE

By the time we left the restaurant, the tension between us was undeniable. I could feel it, and I'm very sure Tristan could too.

“What did you mean earlier?” I asked, trying to distract my thoughts as Tristan drove us back to the pack house.

“Hmm…you'll have to be a bit more specific.”

“When you said we can do both at the same time? The mating ceremony and my plans for revenge.”

I cleared my throat, trying to focus on the conversation instead of the feeling of Tristan's hand on my thigh, or his finger going around in circles and scrambling my mind.

“You were a member of the Razorback, right? The pack that betrayed you.” He asked.

“Yeah….” I replied, my mind going back to the life I lived before Lucas ruined everything.

A part of me wants to go back to the time where I had no idea what was going on behind my back. I may have been naive, but I was happy, at least I thought I was.

I hadn't told Tristan the whole story yet, about me being the daughter of the past alpha, and the p

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 24: DEAL

    TRISTAN "You want what?" Selene asked in surprise.The fire in her eyes reminded me of how she looked after I brought us to the restaurant, her feelings practically radiating off her in waves. She had been so adorable, her arms crossed over her chest and a scowl on her face.But what entertained me the most was how quickly her anger shifted to jealousy and possessiveness the second the waitress had greeted me like she knew me."Your usual table, Alpha?" the woman had asked, smiling warmly.Selene had gone stiff. She had tried to act indifferent like she didn't care, but I could see through her act.I had seen jealousy before, but on Selene? It was adorable. The slight narrowing of her eyes, the way she looked everywhere but at me, the forced indifference in her tone when she finally asked the question she had been dying to know.How many women have you brought here? She hadn’t wanted to ask, but the question had slipped out anyway.She had tried to sound casual, like she didn’t care,

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 25: DESIRES

    SELENEA huge wedding ceremony…. If we did that, news would spread that the Alpha of the Denizens had found his mate, and a lot of people would try to get a glimpse of me out of curiosity.If that happened, Lucas might see me and recognise me, and he'd know I didn't die, he'd know I would come after him…My thoughts were occupied with the deal I made with Tristan earlier as I brushed out my wet hair.Once we got into the pack house, he was whisked away to attend to pack issues while I was left alone to my own devices.The huge bathtub in Tristan's bathroom, well our bathroom…since we shared the room now, was calling to me, and I decided to take a long soak while waiting for Tristan.It had been an hour now but he still hadn't come back. I didn't think anything major had happened while we were out that they needed his attention.I stared at myself in the mirror, from my snow blonde hair and snow white pupils down to the slight curves on my body. My father always said I looked just like

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 26: STRATEGY MEETING

    SELENE“You'll join in on the next meeting.”When Tristan had said those words three days ago, I thought he was joking, but as I followed him down the halls of the pack house, my stomach knotted in nerves.I had no idea why I was nervous. I'd been in meetings before, presided over them. But not as an outsider, and not with people who already hated my presence.My body was tense, my instincts whispering that I did not belong here, in the midst of the enemy.Lucas was my enemy now. I had to remind myself that I was not betraying my pack, I was simply trying to save them.Beside me, Tristan radiated authority, his presence impossible to ignore.“This way.” His hand on my back seared into my skin, and I had to hold myself back from reacting to it.What is wrong with me?I can't believe I was getting butterflies over something as simple as a touch. It had never been like this before, not even when I found out that Lucas was my mate.After a few more seconds of walking, we stopped in front

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 27: BREAKDOWN

    SELENE As soon as the conference room door shut behind the last person, Tristan turned away from me and started pacing, his steps heavy, his hands flexing into fists at his sides. The muscles in his back tensed beneath his black shirt, the fabric stretching as if it could barely contain the force of his anger. I frowned as I watched him, confusion etched on my face. What was going on? “What’s wrong with you?” I asked, leaning back in my chair. His sudden tension made no sense. He didn’t answer me, instead his strides became even more agitated as he moved back and forth across the room. Every few steps, his claws slipped out, his control fraying. Then, as suddenly as he had started pacing, he whirled toward me with a low, guttural snarl. “Did you sleep with Lucas?” he spat at me, his eyes blazing with accusation. The words hit me like a whip and I blinked, taken aback by the question even as my heart started beating faster. "What? Why would you think that?” “Did. You. Sleep.

    SELENE“You want to know why I want Lucas dead?” My voice came out hoarse from hours of crying.“Yes.” Tristan's voice was as low as mine, as if he didn't want to disturb the quiet.I swallowed hard and turned away slightly, staring at the shattered chair he had thrown earlier. The jagged edges of the broken wood reminded me too much of my own past.I hesitated, the words sticking in my throat. But I knew I had to tell him. I had to make him understand."I'm the daughter of the former alpha of the Razorback pack," I said, the words tumbling out in a rush. I wanted to get this story over with as soon as possible instead of dwelling on it."Lucas was my mate, we were supposed to rule together, and my father approved of him, he loved him like the son he never had. When my father died, Lucas took over as alpha, and I was Luna.”Tristan's eyes widened in surprise. "You're the daughter of...?"I nodded, confirming his thoughts.“You never told me you were Luna of the Razorback pack.”“No on

    SELENE“What are you doing?” A giggle left my lips as Tristan scooped me up into his arms, cradling me like a bride.He didn’t answer, didn’t even hesitate as he walked right out of the conference room as if carrying me around like a sack of flour was the most normal thing in the world.“Tristan—” I hissed, but my words were cut off by the shocked gasps of the pack members that stopped in their tracks to stare at us.Some of the warriors who were in the meeting did a double take as they saw us, and I caught a glimpse of their stunned faces, some wide-eyed, others exchanging knowing smirks. One warrior even let out a low whistle, and I knew my face was as red as a tomato.“Alpha…?” One of them started to ask, but Tristan didn't even acknowledge them, he just kept walking, completely unfazed.I wonder what they thought happened in there, or what they'll think when they see the broken chair.Oh, Goddess…Heat flooded my cheeks, and I buried my face in his shoulder, trying to avoid the eye

    1: STABBEDSELENEAlpha Lucas was going to be overjoyed once I told him the good news that I was pregnant.I knew that I was the Luna and that meant that I had to carry myself with grace but I was so happy, so excited that I half ran, half walked as I made my way to his study.Usually, I didn’t disturb my love when he was there, it was his personal space but this news could not wait, I could not wait to tell him he was going to become a father!I pushed open the door without knocking, “Darling, you are not going to believe what I have to tell–” the words hung in my mouth as my eyes widened.Alpha Lucas’ pants were around his ankle and he was balls deep inside another woman, his naked butt clenching viciously as he thrust into her.The bottle of champagne that I had brought for us to celebrate with fell from my hand and smashed to pieces at my foot, sending glass and red wine flying in every direction.I looked on, and squinted my eyes, refusing to believe what I was seeing.The woman

    2: MEETING A DEMONSELENEOh no! I could not believe that the love of my life, Alpha Lucas just did that to me.There was a tightness in my chest and it felt as if I could not breathe as darkness surrounded me all round.Disrespecting the mate bond and cheating on me was one thing, but stabbing me? That was unbelievable, how could my mate do that to me, how could my mate hurt me like that?My eyes flew open and I found myself alone in a narrow canoe that was rowing itself forward towards a pair of black gates.The water all around me was dark and murky and very still, except for the ripples as my canon cut across heading to its destination.At first, I was confused, what was going on here? The last thing that I remembered was being stabbed and bleeding out alone and afraid on the forest floor.My hands flew to my stomach and then my neck I dabbed at them, there was no blood, and my heart was beating heavily in my chest as I looked around in panic.My jaw dropped as I recognized the la

    SELENE“Tristan, we're not even dressed well for a place as fancy as this. Besides, do you even have a reservation?”This place was popular, but it was really hard to get a reservation here. I know because I had tried to get one a few months ago for Lucas and I, but it was impossible.“We don't need one.” He smirked before getting out of the car. He went round the front to open my door for me, but before he could get here, I had already gotten out myself.“You should have let me open it.” He scolded.“I think you've forgotten who you're talking to. I'm perfectly fine with opening my door.” I was a little bit pissed off with him, and I wanted him to know it.Tristan caught my wrist. His touch was warm, sending a wave of shock through me.“Selene.”Just my name, nothing more, but the war he said it, the possessive tone he used, it sent a wave of desire coursing through me. I may be angry, but my body wanted him.“This does not count as a date. I need to be asked out properly, not tricke

It was not really a question.I had noticed the guard that kept following me, and I had a feeling that was Tristan's doing.“I want to hear it from you? What really happened?” He finally left the door and walked in, sitting next to me.“I don't think your pack members would accept me so easily.” I murmured as my eyes filled up with tears.Get over it, Selene. So what if some people didn't like me, I could deal with that.“They don't have a choice in that!” Tristan growled.I left my seat and went to him, lowering myself on his lap. The way his hand instinctively went around me was enough to give me butterflies, but I ignored it.Focus on the task at hand, Selene.“You can't force them to accept me as their Luna. I don't even know if I want to be a Luna.” He stare
