SELENA'S POVI believe he can pull it off." I said.“I don't understand the blind faith you have in your mate. Because It might get him killed." He said."It's not blind faith," I said, my voice growing stronger. "It's trust. I trust him to make the right decisions and to do what's best for our pack. I know he's taken risks before, and I know he's always come out on top. He's not reckless, he's just...determined. He's not going to let anything or anyone stand in the way of what he thinks is right.""That's all well and good," Alpha Fred said, still sounding skeptical. "But I still think it's a risk."“It is a risk." I admitted." "But I think it's a risk worth taking. If we don't try to find a peaceful solution, we'll just be stuck in a cycle of violence that will never end. So someone has to make the first move toward peace, and I think that someone should be us. We have to be the bigger person and extend an olive branch. It might not work, but at least we'll know we tried." I sa
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“Alpha Duncan what do I owe this pleasant surprise.” Alpha Rios asked.“I came to discuss a pressing matter with you.” I said.“Hmmm… and what could that be huh?” he asked.“It’s about the peace treaty.” I said.“Oh that. I have told Alpha Fredrick that I’m not interested in such. The rogue werewolves cannot be trusted and you and I know that I’m right about that.” He said.“I know but is going to war the answer?” I asked.“Ending their wicked ways is the only answer and if war is the way to end them, then we go to war.” He said.“Then what about the innocent people that would be affected by the war? What about our pack members and children? Don’t they deserve peace?” I asked.“I know that war isn’t always a good thing but we have endured the rogues for far too long and I think it’s time to end this once and for all.” he said.“What if peace treaty is the only way to end this once and for all?” I said.He smirked.“A peace treaty never works. The rogues might agree
SELENA’S POVWe went down the den where we believed our father Alpha Gomez would have kept such an important file.When we got to the door of the den, it was locked.“How do we open it?” Alpha Fred asked.“Hmmmm… I don’t know, but maybe father gave us a clue just in case we could come here in search of the file.” I said.“Wait… so you mean that father knew that we might need the file one day and so kept it hidden because if other Alphas found out that he kept it, it could have become a problem?” Fred asked.“I think so.” I said.“And so the only way to find out is to open the door to the den and then search for the file.I believe that whatever happened many years ago that made the rogues breach the agreement of the peace treaty, father might know.” I said.“You’re probably right.” Alpha Fred said, his eyes lighting.“I bet there’s something in the den that will help us figure out what we need to know. We need to get in there and see what we can find.”“But how?” I asked, frustrated.
SELENA’S POV“I need to return to the pack house and inform Alpha Duncan of my findings," I said.“So if the rogues were manipulated then, it means...." Fred said.“They were gonna be manipulateed again and what happened to the Alpha who wanted a peace treaty then could happen to Alpha Duncan," I said.“But who could that person be? Who could be the person who manipulated the rogues then?" Fred asked“Don't know but maybe Alpha Duncan would have figured it out.I have to return to the pack house and inform Alpha Duncan ASAP." I said.“Do you want me to come with you?” Fred asked.“I know I’m not a member of the pack, but I can help.”“I appreciate the offer, but I think it’s best if I go alone.” I said.“This is a delicate situation, and I don’t want to risk causing anymore problems.”“Okay, I understand.” Fred said, though he looked disappointed.“But I’m here if you need me. Just call me and I’ll be there, sister.”“Thank Fred.” I said, giving him a grateful smile.As I drove back t
SELENA’S POV“So do you think Desmond would know about the peace treaty many years ago?I mean he wasn't born then and Drey is dead.So how are you gonna find out what happened many years ago?" I asked.“I don't know, but if he's doing the same thing his father was doing, then it means that he knows something and I intend to find out." He said“That’s a good point.” I said, considering the implications of what he was saying. “If he’s trying to start another war, it means he knows more than we do.But how are we going to get him to tell us?”“We’ll have to use some persuasion.” he said, his eyes hardening.“I have some ideas, but I’ll need your help.”“Of course.” I said without hesitation.“Whatever you need, I’m here to help.“I appreciate that.” he said, a small smile showed on his face.“The first thing we need to do is gain his trust.” he said, his voice thoughtful.“We need to make him believe that we’re on his side.”“But how are we going to do that?” I asked.“He’s been so host
SELENA’S POV“So do when are you going to meet Desmond the leader of the rogues werewolves?” I asked.“Tomorrow.” He said.“I don’t think I need to go to my brother’s pack to find information about the Alphas who attended the peace treaty many years ago. I think I should just call him.” I said.“I don’t think calling would be the ideal thing to do. I think going there and seeing it for yourself is the ideal thing to do.” he said.“Alright then, I will go tomorrow as well.” I said.Just then, we heard a soft knock on the door and then Alexa entered.He bowed and then spoke.“How was your journey, Alpha? And yours our Luna?” he asked.“It was Uhmmm… revealing.” I said.“I found out that the rogues were manipulated by the other Alphas who were against the peace treaty.A letter was sent to the leader of the rogues explaining to him that the peace treaty was a trick to make them let their guard down so they could attack.So out of anger, the rogue leader assembled his rogue werewolves and
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVThe next day, I prepared my mind to go and visit the rogues to discuss the peace treaty and also to find out what happened many years ago during the first peace treaty.Hoping for the best. I decided that it was best I do this alone and not involve a lot of guards in order not to make them have the impression that I wanted war.As I got close to their hide out.As I approached the entrance of the forest, I could hear the chatter of voices in the distance. It sounded like they were in the middle of a heated discussion.I paused for a moment, wondering if it was a good idea to go in right now.I decided to inch closer, hoping to get a better sense of what was happening before making my presence known. I ducked behind a tree and peered through the branches.“Do you think they would keep their words and not start a war? We all know what happened many years ago and how most of us here lost our parents because they believed that those wicked Alphas wanted a peace treaty.
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“Alpha Fredrick.” she said.“What? It can’t be. I mean Alpha Fredrick is like a mentor to me.” I said, still unable to believe it.“I know… your father realized it and so before he could do anything he got killed by him and blamed it on the rogues as well as Alpha Gomez.” she revealed.“So you’re telling me that my father didn’t die in the war, but was killed by another Alpha because he discovered the truth about the rogues?” I asked.“Yes… I only survived because I chose to stay with the rogues.” she said.“So all the lies that I was told then about the rogues being bad and dangerous and that any chance we get, we shouldn’t hesitate to kill them.” I said.“The rogues were victims just like you and me. They were manipulated into thinking that the other Alphas weren’t in support and were preparing for war.So the rogues striked first out of anger and resentment for them breaching the agreement.So when your father discovered that some of the alphas controlled by Alph
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
