Chapter 42: HIDDEN SECRETS

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-31 22:31:35

SELENE

“That’s… not normal.” I said to Eli as I cursed inwardly.

All along I had been thinking that the dark moon incident must have happened recently, maybe a few years ago at most, but if it was as long as Eli said, then whoever the wolf is would be an adult, maybe someone with a mate and children…they might have even left the pack or they might be dead…this would make my search harder than it already was.

“I don't think it was. According to what my dad told me, the elders acted very weird about it, they said it was a bad omen and because of that people stopped talking about it. I don't think any of the older pack members would be willing to talk about it even now.”

I sighed in frustration, my gaze roaming around the training room until my eyes fell on Tibet at the far end of the room, leaning against a wall and watching me.

Since the day we had talked in Tristan's room and he showed me to my new room, he had been more friendly towards me, and we had chatted sometimes, but I was sti

    SELENEI sat on the small couch in my new room, with my legs tucked under me and my fingers absently twirling a loose thread on the sleeve of my shirt.I let out a slow breath, resting my head against the couch. The room was quiet and dark, and my thoughts would not stop racing.My mind kept circling back to what Eli had told me. An adult. The wolf I was looking for was already grown…that changed everything.I had spent so much time assuming I was looking for a child, someone still within the pack, someone easy to trace. But an adult? That meant they might have left years ago. They could be in another pack or even dead. And the worst part was that I still had no idea where to start.I pulled at the loose thread on my sleeve again, watching as it unraveled slightly before stopping myself, frustration prickling at the edges of my mind. If the wolf wasn’t in this pack, then where the hell were they?Tibet and I had gone to the record keepers to ask about the dark moon, but they didn't ha

    TRISTAN I sat in my office, my fingers tightening around the glass of whiskey in my hand. The rich amber liquid sloshed slightly as I took a long sip, trying to drown out my frustration.I tried to talk to Selene again while we were patrolling last night, but she refused to even look at me. She was shutting me out completely, and it was driving me insane. I was frustrated and defeated, feeling like I was losing her."Selene." I had let out a slow breath as I tried to talk to her for what felt like the hundredth time this week.There was no response, she didn't even glance my way, it was as if she had not heard me at all, but I could tell he had from the way her body stiffened.Fine…my jaw tightened. I was not the type to beg, and before Selene I never would have bothered myself about a woman giving me the silent treatment. As the alpha, I had my pick over any woman I wanted, but this was my mate, the woman chosen for me by the goddess. I could not let her shut me out forever.I lengt

    TRISTAN “Get out of my way, Tibet.”“If you chase her now, you’ll only make it worse. She’s hurt, Tristan. Give her space.”“I don’t have time for this!” I snapped, trying to push past Tibet, but he shoved me back.“Think for once,” he hissed. “If you go after her, what are you going to say?”I gritted his teeth, my breathing ragged. I knew Tibet was right, but the thought of Selene hurting, of her thinking I had betrayed her, made my stomach twist.I turned sharply, stalking out of my office but in the opposite direction from Selene.Tibet followed me, and we found ourselves in my room, the room I should be sharing with Selene.I ran a hand through my hair as I paced back and forth across the length of my room for what felt like the hundredth time, my frustration mounting with every second. The walls felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with the weight of my own mistakes.Across from me, Tibet sat in my armchair, his expression calm and unreadable as he watched me."It was

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 46: BREAKING THE SILENCE

    SELENEI stood outside Tristan’s door, my fingers clenched into fists at my sides, my heart pounding as I stood there debating with myself about whether or not I should walk in.Should I go in? I had spent so many days avoiding him, keeping my distance, refusing to acknowledge the weight of his absence in my life. And now, here I was, hesitating like a coward despite the fact that I had to talk to him.I had accidentally heard Nancy talking to someone about how she was very close to destroying mine and Tristan's relationship, and I suddenly realized what Nancy's plan had been all along.“After what she saw in the office, she wouldn't believe anything he says…one more push and it’s over and I can take Tristan back. It’s almost too easy…like taking candy from a baby.”She had been manipulating this from the start, and I had been a fool for allowing Nancy to play me and I had no idea.Tristan had his flaws and he should have told me about him and Nancy before I found out the way I had, b

    SELENETristan turned to me, his eyes softening as he stared at me."I'm so sorry," he said, his voice low and husky. "I'm so sorry that I didn't protect you.""You didn't protect me?" I repeated in confusion as I looked up at him. "Tristan, that wasn't your fault, Tibet didn't mean to hit me."Tristan's eyes flashed with anger again as his mind replayed Tibet's fist smacking into my face."That's not what I'm talking about," he said. "I'm talking about Nancy. I'm talking about how I didn't tell you about her, how I didn't break things off with her when I should have."Tristan was actually apologizing, actually taking responsibility for his actions? I felt extremely surprised."Tristan, I..." I started to say, but he cut me off."No, Selene, let me finish,” his jaw clenched, frustration flashing across his face. "I was wrong, and I know it, I was wrong to keep Nancy a secret, wrong to let things go on for so long. I should have told you about her, I should have shut her down completel

    SELENEWhen Tristan and I reached his…well it was our room again, I hesitated in the doorway, feeling nervous.Tristan set my things down before turning to face me. "You belong here, Selene. With me.”I took a deep breath and stepped inside, closing the door behind me. The moment it clicked shut, Tristan was in front of me, his hands sliding around my waist."Are you really back?" he murmured, his forehead resting against mine."Yeah.” I swallowed hard, my fingers curling into his shirt. "I thought you would not want to see me again."I hesitated, my fingers tightening around the hem of his shirt. "I almost didn’t, but I overheard her talking to someone about how she was succeeding in her plans to come between us. And I realized... She was right, I almost let her come between us.”"I'm so sorry again, Selene," Tristan whispered, his lips brushing against my ear. "I promise to make it up to you.”My heart was pounding at the intensity of the emotions in Tristan's eyes as he stared at

    SELENEThe room was quiet except for the soft rustling of the sheets as I shifted closer to Tristan, resting my head against his chest.His arm was wrapped securely around me, his fingers lazily tracing patterns against my bare skin.I sighed contentedly, letting my fingers glide over his stomach, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breathing."You know," I murmured, "I think this might be the first time in a while that things have felt... normal.”Tristan let out a low chuckle, his fingers brushing over my shoulder. "Normal is overrated. But I understand what you mean.”We lapsed into silence again, enjoying the rare moment of stillness.The last few weeks had been nothing short of chaos, and yet, lying here with him, I felt a strange sense of relief. Like maybe, just maybe, things were finally falling into place.As we lay in bed, cuddled up together, Tristan and I chatted about minor stuff, not venturing close to any serious topic and talking about nothing in particular, and it

    SELENEThe only way I would survive long enough to destroy Lucas... was to kill Tristan…my mate.I buried my face in my hands, sitting on the cold tile floor of the bathroom like a ghost of myself.My bare legs were curled up beneath me, Tristan’s shirt hanging off one shoulder, still smelling like him.I should have taken it off, I should have thrown it far away, but I could not bear to do that. I could not even peel it from my skin without feeling like I was losing something I wasn’t ready to let go of.How the hell am I supposed to kill the one man who made me feel like I was alive again?How was I supposed to look at him and not think about what I had to do?How was I supposed to lie next to him knowing that one day I might be the reason he stopped breathing?I did not have any answers for myself.“You’re weak,” Xercer whispered in my head. “You’ll get us both killed for some foolish fantasy of love. You want revenge, don’t you?”“I hate you,” I whispered, pulling at my hair. “You

    SELENE“He’s gone again…” I murmured to myself under my breath as I stabbed at a piece of bacon with my fork. It was perfectly crisp and smoky, but I barely tasted it.The plate in front of me was half full, but I was already losing interest in eating.I stared at the seat next to me as if Tristan would suddenly appear in it despite the fact that I knew he would not.Recently, Tristan had been busy…busier than he had been since I got here…and for some reason he refused to tell me why.I guess I got used to his presence. The way he would drape his arm around my waist when I sat beside him. The way his eyes softened whenever he looked at me, even when he thought I was not paying attention…it felt lonely eating all my meals alone with nobody but myself to talk to especially when I barely had any friends here.I missed him…and I hated that I missed him. How did I let myself fall for him, despite all the walls that I tried t

    TRISTAN“You have always been mine and I am not going to let some random stray walk in and take what I have waited for.”I growled and straightened fully, my voice growing even colder. “Do not be delusional, Nancy.”Her smile faltered.“I have a mate, her name is Selene, and you might want to remember that. Whatever we had was over a long time ago,” I continued. “You should have a little bit of self respect.”She flinched, and tears filled her eyes, but I did not care about her feelings, not anymore.“And more importantly,” I said, taking a step forward, “I am your Alpha, which means that you will respect my mate. You will speak of her with the reverence she deserves. And if I hear you say one more word against her, I will not be so lenient next time.”Her mouth opened like she wanted to argue, but I cut her off with a growl of warning vibrating low in my chest.“You are lucky I’m tired,” I said, my eyes glowing faintly like I was on the verge of

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 60: PROTECT HER

    TRISTAN I balled my fists so tightly my knuckles cracked, but the pain was nothing compared to the rage pulsing through me as I remembered the way Lucas was looking at Selene like she was still his…like she was some prized possession that had wandered off and just needed to be reclaimed.That smug, possessive gleam in his eyes had nearly sent me over the edge. He looked at her like he owned her. Like her pain, her scars, her body still belonged to him…that bastard.I could not get that look out of my head…the look on Selene's face as we left the hall that was a mixture of rage and fear and buried grief. She had been doing so well these past few days but seeing Lucas had cracked something open inside her…and I had no idea how to fix it.I should have killed him, I was on the verge of killing him right in front of everyone, but I knew that would have caused even bigger problems and Selene did not need that right now.I nearly shi

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 59: IN CONTROL

    SELENE “What the hell happened in there?” Tibet’s voice cut through the heavy silence from where he was driving in front. I knew he was curious about why we decided to leave do early…I guess he got tired of wondering and decided to ask. I looked up at him, meeting his eyes that were filled with worry as he stared at me through the rearview mirror. “We might have officially declared war on Lucas and my former pack.” I said in reply. There was a beat of silence, and then Tibet snapped, “You saw him in there and let him walk out alive? After what he did to you?” He asked in outrage. I clenched my hands in my lap, trying to stay calm, trying not to scream. I had wanted to do so much more than just exchange words with Lucas. I had wanted to rip him apart with my bare hands. I had wanted him to bleed. “We cannot attack another Alpha, not even a rival one or our sworn enemy during the Trade, Tibet, you know the rules.” Tristan growled beside me with his arm still wrapped tightly aro

    SELENE “We're coming for you, Lucas,” I said, my voice low and cold. “And there will be no single corner of the earth available for you to run to.” The words hung in the air, and Lucas's smug expression faded and for a short moment, I saw a flicker of fear in his eyes. Good…he should be scared of me, he should be scared of what I was forced to become because of him. Without giving him another second of my attention, Tristan and I turned our backs on both him and the woman clutching his arm like a badge of honor. The whispers from the crowd were loud behind us and I could feel the curious stares that followed us, but we did not look back, there was nothing left for us to say and we did not have to prove anything to these people. My work here has been done and there was no need for us to stay here any longer. I had faced the monster from my past, looked him in the eye, and stood tall…and I had not crumbled. But goddess, I felt like I could fall apart right now. The only thing ke

    SELENE How the hell did I stay mated to this fool? I asked myself as I watched Lucas ignore the woman he came with to stare at me like he owned me. His stare made my skin crawl, and I made a mental note to scrub my body clean when we get back to the pack. He turned away from Tristan to stare at me, and I could see the confusion written all over his face, as he tried to figure out how I was alive. After all he had stabbed me and left me to bleed out in that forest without any care…just so that he could remaining the alpha of a pack that did not belong to him. “Surprised to see me alive after you tried to kill me?” I asked, keeping my voice as cold as I could. Meanwhile my heart was beating so loudly, I was surprised no one could hear it, and needing Tristan's support, my fingers blindly searched for him until I could his hand, and the moment our hands touched, he intertwined our fingers and squeezed softly, reminding me that I was not alone, not anymore, and that helped me to c

    TRISTAN I found myself tapping my feet and unable to concentrate during the meeting, I was simply counting the seconds and waiting for it all to be over so that I could go back to Selene.I had forgotten about this part of the Trade, about the meeting that all Alpha's had to attend, and I felt bad for leaving her all by herself, but I knew Selene…my mate was strong, and I would not be surprised to go back to see her holding court with other Luna's surrounding her.She was not yet my Luna, but that was just a matter of time, I knew it.The meeting finally ends, but I was stuck making small talk with a few other alphas who were my allies, this trade was held every year for this very reason, and I could not let this opportunity go to waste…especially as it seemed we would have no choice but to fully go to war with Selene's former soon if she succeeds in getting her revenge against Lucas.Speaking of the devil…I had not seen Lucas anywhere since we got here, which was a good thing for hi

  • Luna's Revenge    Chapter 55: REVISITING THE PAST

    SELENE I stared at myself in the mirror, adjusting my dress and my hair and everything I could until I looked perfect. My hair fell in soft curls that framed my face perfectly, my makeup was done to perfection, my lips and cheeks a perfect shade of rose that brought my skin to life, and the dress was as perfect as it had been when I tried it on, paired with my silver heels and clutch. I looked perfect, and yet I could not ignore the feeling of dread that kept creeping up my spine at the thought of meeting Lucas again after all these months. What would he think when he sees me, the woman he thinks is dead, his former mate whom he killed with his own hands. “Selene? Are you ready?” Tristan asked as he walked into the room, straightening his tie, and the moment I saw him, all thoughts of Lucas left my mind. Our attraction to each other was amplified by the mate bond, but even without that, it was easy to see that Tristan was attractive, and with him all dressed up in his tux, it was

    SELENE I tried to ignore Tristan as I focused on my meal, but the feeling of his knees pressing against mine, and his gaze on me as I ate, made it impossible for me to focus. “Tristan,” I gasped when I felt his hand on my thigh. Although I was wearing shorts and he was not touching my bare skin, I could feel the heat from his palm scalding my skin. “Don't you think we should leave now?” Tristan murmured next to my ear, and I shivered as his breath hit my skin. “Fine…” there was no way I could concentrate on my meal with all he was doing to me. We silently walked down to the car, but before I could even stretch my hand to open it, Tristan was there, opening it for me. “Thank you.” I murmured feeling shy for some reason. He walked round the car and got in, but instead of starting the car, he turned to look at me. “Now…I've been patient enough. You can't give me that little kiss and expect me to be satisfied now, do you? Before I could say anything, his fingers found their way
