SeleneI was over the moon this morning when everyone addressed me as their Luna, a freaking nobody is now about to be one of the biggest packs Luna, somebody please pinch me!!!Damianâs words pulled me out of my sweet trance âAre we inviting Jasper and Imogen?â He asked.My stomach churned at the mention of their name âPlease excuse usâ He signaled Adrain, Lucien, and Octavia.They stood up and left then he turned to me, tugging me close âYou don't want them here?â He asked, stroking my thighs gently.I fiddled my fingers âNo, I do not want them to be part of my happiness and a part of this celebration. They are not importantâ I said, gazing at him.He leaned in, brushing his lips against mine âWhatever my love wants she getsâ He whispered, his breath fanning my neck.I giggled âIf I didn't know you better, I would have sworn that you had no sweetness in you at all,â I said.He chuckled âI have this sweetness only for you my love,â He said.We sorted out a few more invitations before
Damian A lot has happened these past few days. I had ordered Adrain to find Dorathus before Selene did, I have a feeling she knows something about her and that would put my innocent Luna at risk.Then those members of the stupid counsel came to verify the truth. I don't even know who created that useless counsel in the first place.But the highlight of it all was Selene, she filled my heart with so much peace and happiness. She has become my home and I always look forward to ending the day in her arms.I gazed lovingly at her as she kept stealing gaze at the entrance paying no attention to what Emery was saying to her.She was too eager to meet Agatha âBaby, Iâve something to show youâ I whispered behind her, pulling out my phone.She turned to me, smiling âI honestly think this design would look good on you, what do you think?â I asked.She rolled her eyes âDamian, how many dresses do you want me to put on?â She whined, folding her hands.I was about to reply to her question when th
SeleneRated 18!!âDo you Selene accept Damian as your mate and do you Selene accept to be the Luna of Crimson moon pack?â The shaman asked.I felt Damianâs gaze linger on me expectantly but I was hesitant. I was scared that I wouldn't be good enough for him, I was scared that something would go wrong along the line.But I chugged down the thought and met his desperate gaze, âYes, I acceptâ I said, beaming. The crowd cheered loudly at my response.Damian sighed in relief, smiling. The shaman made some more incantation before joining our hands together âI now pronounce you both Man and wife.â He said, placing a crown on our heads.âMembers, you may now come forward to welcome you Lunaâ He announced.Damian led me to my seat, each pack member came forward carrying out an oath of allegiance towards me while I did the same for them.The oath-taking was finally done and I was now a Luna âIt feels so unrealâ I squealed internally, meeting Damainâs gentle gaze.I placed my hands reassuringly
DamianMy gaze lingered on Seleneâs sleeping form; my peace and happiness. I exhausted her out last night and I was a bit rough after seeing her all smiles with Lucien and I needed to remind her who she belonged to.I am aware that their relationship is that of sibling love but I was boiling with jealousy at his careness towards her.I tucked her hair away so I could get a better view of my mark on her neck. I placed a kiss on her forehead when a knock interrupted me.I paused, but the sound came back again persistently. My gaze swept towards Selene who had tossed from the sound.I moved to the door and met the worried gaze of one of the warriors âOlivia is causing trouble at the bordersâ I pinched the bridge of my nose, âIs everything okay?â I heard Seleneâs tiny voice behind me.I leaned closer, kissing her forehead âMorning princessâ I said, smiling down at her.âMorning,â She replied, gazing past me.âOlivia is causing trouble at the borders, I need to go attend to her,â I said,
DamianI furrowed my brows, âWhat does this mean?â I asked, gazing at the doctor.âAlpha, it simply states that Olivia has a functioning womb and there was not in any time was her womb puncturedâ He explained.âThat lying bitchâ Lucien groaned, rushing into her ward but I held him back.I shook my head âLet her be, I will handle herâ I said, processing what I just heard.âDoctor, how is it that she never got pregnant all this while?â I asked, a little confused.âShe must have been taking contraceptives to prevent that from happening. If she had gotten pregnant, you would have figured out that she liedâ He informed.âThank you,â I said, waving at him.My thought lingered on Selene, I had abandoned her just a night after our mating ceremony all because of Oliviaâs havoc.âLucien, make sure she doesn't leave this place, I will be right back,â I said, storming out of the hospital into the pack house.I searched everywhere she could possibly be but I couldn't find her. I went to the garden
SeleneDamian led me through the hallway of the strange room that I always wanted to see. Unlike my curiosity, I was nervous about what was inside it.I held him back as we got closer. âWhat's inside?â I asked, sounding nervous.I met his silence but he gripped my hands in a reassuring manner. He scanned his iris and the door opened.My heart beat rapidly as he led me in. A loud gasp escaped my lips when I saw a sleeping figure.I trembled âDamian, who IâĶis she?â I asked.âMy mother, she is alive but in a vegetative stateâ He muttered.âWhat?â I asked, feeling dizzy and in need of air.Quickly, I rushed outside âSelene, are you okay?â He asked.I held my chest, inhaling and exhaling. He patted my back gently âAre you okay?â He asked again.âYes, how long has she been like this?â I asked.He looked down, sadness blooming on his face âYears, it was my dad's last wish that I revive her,â He said.We walked back inside and I gazed at her âIt must have been tough for youâ I said, sadness
Damian My heart stilled as she mentioned Oliviaâs name, I turned towards Selene meeting her shocked gaze.âMom, you are awake,â I said, leaning to her level.She tried to lift her hands but it fell, so I called the pack doctor to check up on her.I held Seleneâs hands âAre you okay?â I asked, observing her face.She looked shaken up but she managed to smile âYesâ The doctor informed us that she isn't fully recuperated and we still need to try harder for her to be in good shape and health.I closed the door behind us when we walked into our chamber, Selene was so quiet that it bothered me.I gazed at her as she sat on the bed, scrolling aimlessly on her phone, I leaned to her level âBaby, what's going on in your head?â I asked.Her innocent eyes which made me fall madly in love with her gazed at me âHow did your mom know about Olivia?â I asked.I sighed âI always spoke about her to my mom, I didn't think she heard all of that,â I said.She stroked the hair that had fallen off my face
DamianI chuckled, getting to my feet and headed towards Selene âBaby are you okay?â I asked, scanning.âD, I am fineâ She reassured, smiling slightly.âD?â Olivia said, laughing loudly.I tightened my jaw as I turned towards her, my hands gripping her neck tightly âDonât you ever lay your hands on Selene, and don't ever think that because my mother chose you means I will choose youâ I seethed, while her eyes brewed with tears.I chuckled âShe doesn't even know what you have done yet, I bet she will despise you if she does. Now lay low and be of good behaviorâ I spat, tightening my grip on her neck.I felt Seleneâs touch and my nerves calmed immediately. âGet outâ I yelled, releasing my grip on Olivia.She scampered away in fear, I locked the door frowning âI regret ever discussing her with my motherâ I groaned.âYou didn't think it would amount to this, don't blame yourselfâ She coaxed, settling on the couch.I joined her lifting her to my lap, I kissed her lips gently savoring every
Author's POVSelene screamed as she was thrown into a vehicle, she held her stomach being protective of it.She couldn't see where she was but she could hear an engine starting up and the car moving.She tried to scream again but a slap was passed across her face before her mouth was tied up.She wept silently and prayed to the moon goddess that nothing would happen to her and her unborn child.Shortly the car stopped and she was shoved out of the car. The air hit her as she was dragged into a place and pushed onto a chair before she was tied up.Her mouth was untied and she screamed, her tears falling freely âWho are you people and what do you want?â She asked, trembling.âYou have hurt one of us and you will pay for itâ She heard the rough voice of a stranger.A cold chill ran down her spine.************CRIMSON MOON PACKDamian scanned around for any sight of Selene but couldn't find her. His worry grew increasingly. âLucien, have you seen Selene?â He asked, his brows scrunched up
SeleneI dressed up quickly and headed back to the office. âWhere is she?â I asked, locking my gaze on Adrian.He coughed, gazing at my hair âWhat?â I asked, darting my eyes to Damian whose face was cast downwards.âYour hair looks disheveled,â He muttered.I widened my eyes in embarrassment running back to the bathroom to fix myself.I scratched my neck, after I stepped back inside âWe were doing a pillow fight, I told him it was a silly thing to doâ I whined, smiling nervously.He chuckled, âYes, I understand. Dorathus is in the dungeonâ He said.I sighed in relief as he changed the topic âWe will see them tomorrowâ Damian said.After he left, I sat on the couch slamming my face âAdrain will think I am a pervertâ I groaned.Damian chuckled âThis is what normal couples do, it's nothing to be ashamed ofâ He coaxed.I nodded, remembering why I came here in the first place âHave you thought about Axel?â I asked.He sighed, settling on his seat âAlthough I am having a double mind, we wil
SeleneMy eyes were wide with shock at the people she just mentioned. I chuckled, âThis is a joke. It can't be true right?â I asked, my heart beating rapidly.âIt's the truth, Dorathus has always been my messenger. All those strange letters you got were us throwing a bait, Damian was taking too much time, I had to take overâ She snapped.I gasped âOh my goodness,â I said, my voice barely audible.âWolftamer thinks he can back down after we have gone this far. Since he went to that mountain he has become off and then you visited him and charmed himâ She screamed.âHe has refused to supply me the concoctions anymore claiming that you are innocent and he can't bring himself to harm youâ She snarled.âSo you weren't sick, all this was a lie to gain power and rule. For over twelve years you laid in a vegetative state for this?â Damian asked.âI don't care if I have to stay twenty-five years as long as I achieve what I want,â She screamed.âI will not let you harm this pack and its people b
DamianâI..I, Damian what are you doing here?â My mother asked, smiling nervously.My eyes moved to the supposed maid that poisoned Selene before I gazed scornfully at my mother âHave them all thrown into the dungeon immediatelyâ I yelled.âYou can't do that, I am your mother!!!â My mom yelled as she was dragged away.I sat down in confusion, I always thought my motherâs dislike for Selene was because I never told her about Selene while she was in a vegetative state. But plotting with Olivia to eliminate my child, her grandchild is unbelievable.I stood up lazily and trudged to my chamber, when I got in Selene was already sleeping on the couch with a slice of pizza in her hands.Her light snores were beautiful, I chuckled, dropping the bottles of water on the table.I tried to take away the pizza but she held onto them tightly. I succeeded in taking the pizza away from her before carrying her to the bed.I slept off while thinking of how to handle this situation and how to even break
DamianMy mind has been uneasy since Selene went to meet Axel but I decided to act cool with the thought that he wouldn't harm her.I went to check up on Lucien who I bestowed with the responsibility of handling Silver Crescent pack members.âThey are blending in and settling down very well, you don't have to worry about them causing problems for the packâ He assured.I nodded and headed to my office to attend to my pending work. I was engrossed in a file when the door opened.I raised my head and found Selene walking in, I smiled, dropping my pen. âYou are back?â I asked. She nodded, âHmm, a maid told me you were in a meeting,â She said.I raised my brows, frowning âWhat maid?â I asked.She let out a nervous laugh âThe one you sent to serve me juiceâ She replied.I narrowed my gaze, saying âI didn't send anyone to serve you juiceâHer face contoured and she ran to the bathroom âSelene!!â I called after her, my eyes widening with shock.There was blood on the sink; she was vomiting b
SeleneI felt trapped in this darkness, I couldn't move or even blink. My body remained motionless.I could hear voices of people both incoherent voices and audible voices but the one that stood out to me the most was Damianâs voice.He was constantly talking to me, filling me in on how his day went, that he was sorry for keeping a secret from me, and then how our unborn child was faring.I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't. I heard Lyra pleading with me not to give up. I tried and I kept pushing but the pain was too overwhelming.And then I felt my hands move, gradually my eyes blinked and I saw a ray of hope. I fluttered my eyes adjusting it with the light.My eyes met a white ceiling, it moved darting around the room, and there was no one in the room. I was in Damianâs chamber.My hands instinctively went to my stomach.âI am glad I didn't lose youâ I whispered.Slowly, I sat up and then I took a deep breath, attempting to stand up. After a successful attempt, I walked carefully
DamianI gazed painfully at Selene as she gradually slipped away, that idiot injected her with wolf's bane, a ton of it.âDrive fasterâ I yelled, tears rolling down my chin. Immediately our pack came into view, I pushed the door and ran to the packâs hospital.âGet Doctor Ralph for meâ I yelled to one of the nurses.I placed her on the bed and rolled her to the theatre âAlpha you have to wait hereâ The nurse urged.I peeled my hands away from the bed, stepping back. The light came on and for the first time, I prayed to the moon goddess to save her and our unborn child.Adrian rushed in immediately, âDamian how is she?â He asked.I shook my head, âShe is still inside the theatreâ I whispered, wiping my tears.I felt a cold run down my spine when I remembered that if I had been an inch late, Selene would have died.Hours passed and I hadn't heard any news from the doctor, the nurses ran out and rushed back at intervals but none said a word.Lucien walked in, patting my shoulder âDamian
DamianâSelene, Selene!!â I called out, chasing after her but Lucien held my hands.âThat's enough Damian, you have done more harm than good. I told you not to hurt her again but you didn't listenâ He snapped.I pinched the bridge of my nose âAm I supposed to pay for the sins of my father?â I asked.âThis is not about paying for your father's sin. The moment you realize that you were in love with her, the least you could do was tell her the truthâ He yelled.âThe truth was more important than mating her or making her as your Luna talk more of healing your mother who doesn't even approve of herâ He snapped.He sighed âDamian, she didn't have to find out this way, this is the highest level of betrayal,â He said and walked off.I sat on the couch, Agatha warned me but I refused. âHow was I supposed to tell Selene the truth?â I thought.The door burst open and Adrain rushed in âWhat happened?â He asked.I explained everything that happened to him, and he sat on the floor âDamian, our past
SeleneI titled my head âFancy seeing you hereâ I said, darting my eyes around to be sure I was safe.âI came alone, no need to be scared,â He said, getting close.âKeep your distanceâ I warned, eyeing him.He raised his hands in surrender âOkayââWhat are you doing in this area that, too close to the Crimson Moon pack?â I asked.âI have been here for days trying to get past the borders to meet you but I can't,â He said.âIt's called security and if I may ask, why are you looking for me?â I asked, gazing suspiciously at him.âTo seek forgivenessâ He muttered.I chuckled deeply, âIs that a word?â I askedShock passed through his eyes âI know I and Imogen have wronged you but this is me apologizing for my misdeedâ He said.I laughed âI have heard that word a lot, it's now sounding like a broken record,â I said, gazing at him furiously.âYou know, I am not even angry at you besides you have every right to reject me but Imogen, a lady I called my best friend, that's despicableâ I half yel
