“I hate you, Duncan." She yelled, her eyes blazing as she took a step back. “Very much” Alpha Duncan chuckled as he shook his head in wonder. “I know, Selena and that's why I want you." When Alpha Duncan the Lycan King came to choose his mate, it was Selena the beta of the walker's pack. Selena hated him, no she detested him so much but Duncan didn't care. She is his and he will make her his with or without her permission.

I and Alpha David were taking a walk around the palace when he suddenly brought up the topic of the mating ceremony.
"The mating ceremony will be held tonight. I apologize for the short notice, but as the Beta, I would love for you to ensure that nothing goes wrong," he said, and I nodded in agreement."You can trust me with that, Alpha," I assured him."Also, Alpha Duncan , the Lycan king, will be in attendance.""What!?" I blurted out, taken aback by the news. Alpha David looked at me with surprise."What's wrong, Selena? Why are you so shocked?" he asked, clearly confused.The mere thought of the Lycan king filled me with a deep hatred. He was a cruel and heartless man who didn't deserve to be the Lycan king. I couldn't believe he would be visiting our pack.The mating ceremony, held twice a year, attracted people from far and near, all hoping to find their mate. I suspected that was the reason Alpha Duncan would be attending since he had no mate. But if he were to find his mate tonight, I couldn't help but pity the poor woman.
I don't care if I sound so bitter, but a man like Alpha Duncan doesn't deserve a mate, rumors has it that he murdered his own parents at the age of ten and that was how he took over his father's pack, he's known to be cruel and heartless and due to his cruelty, that's why I hate him so much.“I just hope he doesn't find his mate, that'll be more like a curse to anyone mated to him."
"Selena." Alpha David tapped my arm, jolting me out of my thoughts.
I couldn't hide my bitterness. "I'm sorry, Alpha, but is it really necessary for him to attend? We all know what kind of person he is," I protested.
Alpha David let out a deep sigh before responding, "That's precisely why we can't afford to be on his bad side. The mating ceremony is open to everyone, and as the Lycan king, I have no right to stop him or anyone else from attending."
"So, let's get the preparation started, we have just little time on our hands to get things ready." He said before leaving.
With a heavy heart, I begrudgingly accepted his explanation, understanding that defying my Alpha's commands was out of the question. Reluctantly, I joined him in the preparations for the mating ceremony.
Together, we dove into the tasks at hand, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. The palace buzzed with activity as everyone pitched in. She-wolves hurried around, arranging vibrant floral arrangements and decorating the conference room with colorful ribbons and shimmering fabrics.
I oversaw the final touches, making sure the seating was arranged perfectly and the atmosphere exuded an air of elegance. Delicate candlelight danced across the room, casting a warm glow that added to the enchanting ambiance.
The scent of freshly picked flowers filled the air, their sweet fragrance mingling with the excitement and anticipation that permeated the space. Soft music played in the background, creating a soothing melody that set the mood for the evening's festivities.
As the she-wolves gathered in the conference room, their eyes gleamed with excitement and hope. They wore their finest attire, each outfit a unique expression of their personalities. Their dresses shimmered with sequins and adorned with intricate lacework, showcasing their beauty and grace.
I took my place beside Alpha David , feeling a mixture of apprehension and determination. My heart raced as I glanced around, ensuring that everything was in order. Despite my inner turmoil, I maintained a composed exterior, concealing my true emotions behind a mask.
The stage was set, and the anticipation reached its peak. The room hummed with a vibrant energy, a tangible eagerness that permeated the air. All that remained was the arrival of the main guest, Alpha Duncan , the Lycan king.
"Why are you wearing a mask?" Alpha David asked, noticing my disguise.
"I just feel the need to," I replied, not wanting to reveal my true emotions. He chuckled lightly in response.
The ceremony was supposed to start immediately, but Alpha David requested that we wait as the main guest, Alpha Duncan , had not yet arrived.
I started getting this weird feeling, but I tried my best to ignore it.As time ticked by, I grew increasingly frustrated with the Lycan king for keeping everyone waiting. If it were up to me, I would have suggested proceeding with the ceremony, with or without his presence.
Finally, a guard rushed in to announce the arrival of Alpha Duncan , and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally!" I muttered under my breath.
All eyes in the room were fixed on the doorway, eager to catch a glimpse of the Lycan king. Many of the pack members hadn't seen him before and were curious to witness his arrival.
When Alpha Duncan walked in, a strong scent of pine trees filled the air, catching me off guard. Our eyes met, and in that moment, my heart began to race uncontrollably.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. With his intense gaze fixed on me, he declared in a loud voice.
"Mine!!"
Gasps filled the room, and all I wanted was to escape. My head spun with confusion, and I wished for the ground to open up and swallow me whole. How could I be mated to the man I despised the most?I couldn't accept this reality. I felt suffocated and desperate to get away from him. Without thinking, I hastily lifted my dress and sprinted out of the room, fleeing into the safety of the nearby woods.
"Why? Why did this have to happen to me!?" I screamed, consumed by rage.
Only this morning, I had been discussing how unfortunate it would be for any woman to be mated to the Lycan king. I even wished for him not to find his mate, and now, I found myself in that exact situation. It felt like a cruel twist of fate.
I see this as nothing but a curse, I don't care what the goddess has install for me, but I refuse to accept this. I refused to believe that I was destined to be mated to Alpha Duncan , not in this lifetime or any other.
I pushed away those thoughts and focused on my resolve to reject him. That was the only way to make things right, or so I believed.
"Why did you run away like that?" I heard a voice say, and I quickly turned around to find Alpha Duncan standing there.
My eyes turned cold, and I furrowed my brow at him. "What are you doing here, Alpha?" I questioned, dripping with sarcasm.
"What did you expect me to do when my mate ran off?" he replied, his tone carrying a hint of frustration.
"In your dreams! I refuse to be called your mate. I want nothing to do with you, so let's get this over with," I spat, my voice filled with hate.As I spoke those words, anger flushed across his face, but I remained unfazed.
"I, Selena Gomez Rain, reject you, Alpha Duncan Durham Mendes, as my mate!" I declared firmly, emphasizing my rejection.
A New Beginning The moon was bright in the night sky, shining over the pack’s territory. The scent of flowers filled the air, a nice scent soothing to the senses. All seemed at peace in Duncan’s pack, a stark contrast to the stormy events that had happened in recent times. Selena now Luna of the pack, stood on the balcony of their home, her eyes fixed on the stars. The scars of the past were slowly healing, but the memories of their trials were still fresh in her mind. A warm breeze ruffled her hair, and she placed a hand gently on her swollen belly. Life had taken an unexpected turn and Selena had found herself carrying a new life again, a symbol of hope and resilience. Duncan’s second child would soon grace the world with its presence, a testament to their enduring love. Inside the pack house, their daughter Muna slept soundly in her crib. Selena had named her after the brave Muna who sacrificed herself to save her because of a promise she had kept to Alpha Duncan. Duncan step
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVI stayed by Selena’s side as she recovered. It was already five days six hours, twenty five minutes and thirty seconds she had been in the pack hospital after the C section.Doctor Otsuki couldn’t explain why she had not woken up after the procedure.Just then, she opened her eyes faintly and looked at me.“Hey there.” I said, smiling at her.“Welcome back. How are you feeling?”“My baby….” she whispered, her voice weak.“Our baby is doing great.” I assured her as I held her hands.“The doctor has been checking on her regularly, and she’s perfectly healthy.”She let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes again.“Try to rest.” Sitting back in my chair.“You need to take it easy and recover.”She shook her head.“No…. I need you to help me find… Alpha Duncan…. Have you gone to Alpha Owen’s pack yet, Alexa….?”I smiled realizing she was still not sure I was the one sitting next to her. The drugs must still be working in her system as she was seeing me as Alexa and no
SELENA’S POV“Oh my god.” Amy said, her eyes wide.“What do we do? We need to get her to the pack doctor fast!”I tried to stand up, but the pain was so intense that I couldn’t.“Help me, please.” I said, my voice weak.“I need to get to the doctor.”Amy held me and told Alexa to help me up so that they could take me to the pack doctor so I could deliver.“But the baby isn’t due until two weeks, why is she coming now?”“I guess it’s because of the baby realized that they mother was stressed out by the news she just heard.Anyways, we need to move her fast.” Alexa said, as he held me and helped me up to take me to the pack’s doctor.The journey to the pack’s doctor was agony. Every bump and turn was magnified a thousand times.I clutched at my stomach, trying to breathe through the pain. I was sweating profusely, and I felt I was going to pass out.But I knew I had to stay strong. I had to stay strong for my baby. I couldn’t give up.I knew that Alpha Duncan would be counting on me to
SELENA'S POVAs they got closer, I recognized them. It was Alexa and the other pack fighters. They were walking towards the pack house, and they were all okay. I felt a wave of relief wash over me, and I rushed to open the door.I looked around for Alpha Duncan, but he was nowhere to be seen.Alexa walked up to me with a sad expression.I looked at him and asked.“Where's Alpha Duncan....?"He sighed...“We.... Um.... we...lost...him...." He stammered as tears rolled down his eyes.I felt like my heart had stopped beating. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I felt like the world was crashing down around me. I reached out and grabbed Alexa’s arm, shaking my head.“No…” I whispered. “No, that can’t be true. It’s not true.”But Alexa just looked at me with a sad smile. “I’m so sorry. I know this is hard, but it’s true.”I felt like I was going to collapse. I felt like my entire world had crumbled. I had lost the man I loved, the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
SELENA'S POVAnd it wouldn’t be healthy for myself and the baby.So I decided to take Amy up on her offer.“I think I will.”“I’ll go for a walk and get some fresh air.”“Okay… that’s a start.” Amy said, as she smiled.I got up and walked towards the door but remembered something and turned to Amy who was right behind me.“Where’s….. Amora?”“She’s…. still in the dungeon…. Why?” Amy answered, looking at me with a suspecting expression.I shook my head.“Nothing… I just asked.”I could tell that Amy wasn’t convinced, but she didn’t say anything else about it. She just smiled at me and nodded.“Okay then. Enjoy your walk. And remember to take it easy. Don’t overdo it, okay?”I nodded and took a deep breath, feeling better already.“I will. And thanks for the suggestion. I think I needed this.”Amy gave me a warm smile and patted me on the shoulder. “You’re welcome. And have fun.”I walked out of my room and out of the pack house and headed to the park around the pack house.The air was
SELENA’S POVI watched through my window of my room as the pack fighters left the pack to find Alpha Fredrick and end his plans to stop the peace they were beginning to enjoy.I wasn’t okay with the fact that Alpha Duncan had to leave, but I knew that his mind was already made up so I knew there was no use in convincing him to stay.Tears ran down my face as I worried about his return.I closed my eyes and I tried to calm my mind. I knew that worrying would not help the situation, but it was really difficult to stop the anxious thoughts from swirling around my head.I took a deep breath, and I tried to focus on the positive. Alpha Duncan was strong and brave, and I knew that he would do everything in his power to keep our pack safe.Still, my heart ached for him. I wished that there was another way, but I knew that this was the only option.I looked out the window, and I saw the pack fighters disappearing into the distance.I tried to focus on my thoughts, trying to keep them positive
ALPHA DUNCAN'S POV“I'll have that person arrested!" She moved closer and tried to hold my hand, but I removed my hand in annoyance.“Don't touch me! I said who let you out without my permission?!"Amora took a step back, fear in her eyes.“No one let me out, Alpha,” she said. “I... I broke out.”I stared at her in disbelief.“You broke out?” I asked, my voice incredulous. “How did you do that?”“I found a weak spot in the bars,” she said. “I'm so sorry, Alpha, I just... I couldn't stay there. I had to see you.”I was furious that she had escaped.“You escaped yourself huh?Do you know that you are becoming more unpredictable...I just don't know you anymore, Amora."Amora's eyes widened, and she looked at me with a pleading expression.“I heard that you want to go and attack Alpha Fredrick in his hideout.I don't think you should, Duncan.It's dangerous."I stiffened, my grip on her hand tightening.“You heard wrong,” I said, my voice icy. “I have no such plans. Whoever told you th
ALPHA DUNCAN'S POVI took a deep breath and looked into Selena's eyes, trying to reassure her.“I do need to have a meeting with the other pack leaders, but it won't be possible for all of them to be available at the same time. Some of them are busy with important matters in their packs, so it's best to go and stop Alpha Fredrick before things get out of . “I know you're worried, but I'll be careful. I'll take every precaution possible to keep myself safe.”I reached out and took her hands in mine, feeling the tension in her body.But she removed her hands looking not pleased with my decision.Selena looked at me, her eyes filled with worry. She didn't say anything, but I could tell that she was trying to find the right words to express how she felt. I waited patiently, letting her gather her thoughts. Finally, she took a deep breath and spoke.“It's not that I don't trust you or that I don't believe that you can take care of yourself,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “Bu
SELENA'S POV“What happened?"When I found out what Amora had done, I was shocked and angry.” he said, his voice full of emotion.“I confronted her about it, and she admitted that she had been working with Alpha Fredrick. She said she was sorry and that she never meant to hurt anyone.”I wasn't sure what to say. I felt a mixture of emotions, from anger to sadness to confusion.“What did you say to her?” I asked, holding his hand.Alpha Duncan sighed, his expression somber.“I told her that I was disappointed in her and that I couldn’t trust her anymore.” His voice filled with sadness.“I said that I needed time to think about what to do next. I wasn’t sure if I could forgive her, or if I wanted her to stay in the pack.I could see the pain in his eyes, and my heart went out to him. He had trusted Amora, and she had betrayed that trust.“I also asked her to tell me where Alpha Fredrick is hiding and what his plans were.”“Okay… and what did she say?” I asked.At first, she didn’t want
