Selene takes a few steps back and looks at her work with a huge smile. "We did very well," Saya says in her mind, and she agrees. It was hard work, but she finally managed to arrange her things just the way she likes.She does a 180-degree turn and observes everything with great pleasure. Her dresses next to Connor's suits, her home clothes next to his, her sleepwear and underwear sharing half the same drawer as Connor's, and even their shoes."I can't wait for Mrs. Carla to see this," Selene starts to laugh, imagining her face."She'll probably have a fit. I hope our mate doesn't get angry," Saya responds, watching closely through her eyes."He said I could change whatever I wanted, and that's what I did. These colors even match," Selene jokes, looking at the pastel blue tones of her clothes next to Connor's browns. It's true that their styles are completely opposite, as different as water and oil, but they don't have to agree on everything, do they?All this work made her very thir
The air in the room starts to thicken. As soon as Carla sets foot in the kitchen, all the maids begin to move with more urgency, and Selene notices perfectly that they remain bowed as if they fear her. This was not the reaction they had when the alpha entered. The young woman who had kissed Connor at the entrance follows Carla, and this is the perfect moment for Selene to start marking her territory before these two finish her off.Selene takes advantage of being between Connor's legs and practically surrounded by him to fully approach his chest and place her face on his neck. She breathes deeply of his scent, while he immediately wraps her with both arms.A low growl escapes from the alpha's chest, and Saya purrs in response. Both beasts look at each other, and Selene knows this battle is already lost, especially seeing her wolf so excited and happy when Connor is near."Mine, she is mine, she is my mate," Sorem whispers in Connor's mind while wagging his tail, attentive to what is h
Selene yawns as she slowly opens her eyes. She stretches her arms out to her sides and arches her back, stretching her body and preparing to fully wake up. She feels incredibly relaxed and well-rested. She makes a small movement to get out of bed and is surprised to find herself face-to-face with Connor. His green eyes are staring intently at her, making her feel intimidated.For the alpha, seeing Selene wake up in his bed and beside him is simply divine; he has been awake for over two hours. Lying there, he watched her the entire time before she opened her eyes.The small noises Selene made upon waking were very sweet to him. At that moment, he wanted to kiss her, but he knew she would likely be angry at his audacity, so he preferred to push those desires away for now.Selene has yet to realize that one of her hands rests on his lower abdomen, very close to his member. Connor enjoys the sensation of her fingers moving over his skin, the slight tingling sensations that run through his
Full moon of October 2023, at some point in the Tierra de Pinares forest, time: 03:00 in the morning...The air thickened with a silence heavy with tragedy as Selene watched the scene before her in horror. Her beloved's body lay lifeless on the ground, surrounded by the darkness of the night and the cruelty of the rogues. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes, but her heart refused to believe what she saw. It couldn't be true. She couldn't accept that the man she was destined to spend eternity with, the one who had marked her soul under the moonlight, now lay cold and lifeless in front of her."Dexter, please, wake up. You can't leave me like this!" Selene pleaded, her voice breaking with anguish, but there was no response.It was too late; Dexter was dead, and Selene's heart was shattered. From her mark, a watery red liquid, much like blood, began to ooze. Her body trembled terribly, and her heartbeats slowed to the point where she believed she too might die."Please..." she whispe
One year after the attack...“How do I look in this dress?” Rouse spins in front of her sister, a broad smile on her face. “I think this color is divine, and besides, Mom loves white, so she’ll definitely approve.”Rouse glances at Selene through the mirror and shakes her head. Her sister is absorbed in her cellphone, completely ignoring her.“Selene!” Rouse calls, hands on her hips, frowning at her. Rouse is very sweet and charming, but she hates when her sister does that.“What?!” Selene’s question only confirms to Rouse that she hasn’t been paying attention at all. Clearly, she’s only here out of obligation because Katrina ordered it.“You should choose yours. This is the last store we’re visiting, sister, and you haven’t tried on or bought anything. Our mother will be angry if you’re not dressed properly, remember that many...” “Many packs from all over the world will be present. We need to make a good impression on the guests,” Selene finishes her sister’s sentence sarcastically
Selene doesn't dare to breathe loudly. She is literally trapped between two huge mountains with orange-red hair, making her look even smaller than she is. Both men at her sides are too big, and their legs even suffer in the back seat of the car. What kind of wolves are they? Not even her father or brother are this big. Why had she never seen or heard about them before? What is that scent they emit?Selene stopped struggling the exact moment she realized she was at a clear disadvantage. The man on her left hasn't stopped staring at her, and that silly smile on his face gives her the creeps. What's his problem? Does he find something on her face amusing? Aren’t his cheeks hurting from smiling so much? She tries to scoot away from him, but it's impossible to move even half a centimeter without bumping into the other one.The man on her right hasn’t moved the entire trip. He keeps his eyes closed, and his broad hand rests on his thigh while his long fingers move in a coordinated way, as i
“Are you okay, my little rebel?” Uriel stands beside Selene on the balcony, where she is watching the crowd in the courtyard of Alba Noctis Castle. He has noticed that his granddaughter has been very quiet and restless since last night. It could be the full moon affecting her, but he hasn't seen her like this since that night she found her mate a year ago.“I’m fine, Grandpa,” Selene clears her throat and rubs her hands against her clothes, clearly uncomfortable. Uriel can see Saya moving restlessly in his granddaughter's mind, wagging her tail and whining.“Why haven’t you gone down yet? There are many wolves your age down there. You could have a lot of fun.”“I don’t want to go, Grandpa. All those people suffocate me.”“We already had this conversation, Selene, three days ago, when you came back from shopping, grumbling about a certain ‘Mr. Carrot.’ You promised you would do it for your mother. She will be very disappointed if you don’t participate, at least for a few hours. You’re
"You?" Selene looks at Jackson in surprise, who currently occupies her entire frontal view. Her brow furrows, and for a few seconds, she seems incredulous about what is happening. Saya is also watching attentively from Selene's eyes, but when Connor slowly arrives at her position and stands in front of his cousin, her heart races like never before."Mate!" Saya chirps inside her mind, almost surfacing, but Selene doesn't give her space. The young woman opens her mouth but fails to say anything at all.Connor looks directly into her eyes, and from his expression, he seems as confused as she is. When he tries to take a step towards her, Selene transforms and runs towards the path, quickly disappearing into the dense forest. Connor makes a move to transform as well to follow her, but a hand on his shoulder stops him."Give her some space," Ethan says, looking sternly at what he now knows is his sister's destined mate. He felt it when Connor passed by him a moment ago to reach her. He had
