DamianThe war at my pack ended with a few warriors dead and some injured, but I was glad that we outnumbered them.My heart still felt uneasy because Selene had been lying unconscious for two days now. I am mad and equally furious that she let herself get hit by a dangerous arrow.Today, we conducted a burial rite for all the warriors who died, as we headed inside the pack after the rites were done. “I have got some information, concerning the war,” Adrain said, his voice low and serious.“Let's talk in my office” I motioned.“An insider?” I asked, my eyes widening in shock.Adrain nodded, his expression grim “Yes, there seems to be a traitor amongst us”I felt a wave of anger wash over me “I have been kind and lenient to the members of this pack who would want to cause a war amongst us and for what reason? ” I demanded, my voice raising.“Damian people inherit enemies without their knowledge and sometimes the past comes back to haunt us” Adrain grunted.I took a deep breath, composi
SeleneI spent the entire afternoon searching for the girl who told me her mother was a half-witch. It felt like a situation where you were looking for something that could be a dead end because I didn't have her name nor did I know any of her friends.While I was searching and asking around for her, it felt as if I was being watched or followed but when I glanced around I found nothing unusual.“Weird” I muttered to myself, shaking off the feeling.After a fruitless search, I trudged back to my room feeling frustrated and defeated.I closed the door behind me and let out a deep sigh of relief when I heard “Where are you coming from?” A deep voice asked, making me jump.I spun around to face Alpha Damian, my heart racing with surprise. “Is he planning to give me a heartache?” I thought, eyeing him.“Alpha, what brings you to my room?” I asked calmly, walking towards him.He sized me up before asking “Where have you been?” My heart leaped with anxiety.I smiled “Outside, receiving fres
Damian Beep BeepI jolted awake to the persistent beeping sound, I darted my eyes around my heart beating with anticipation. Suddenly it hit me; someone was trying to break into that room.I carefully removed myself from Olivia who was deep in her sleep and made my way to the top floor, my senses on high alert.As I turned to the side my eyes narrowed, Selene was standing in front of the door trying to open it “What are you doing there?” I asked, my voice cold and menacing.She flinched, her eyes darting towards me with a mixture of fear and confidence “I want to see what's behind this door” She declared, her voice steady despite the tremble in her hands.I felt a surge of anger at her audacity “Did you lose any of your property?” I asked, my voice laced with sarcasm.Her eyes flashed with determination “I deserve to know what is behind that door because I know that is the main reason I was bought by you” She insisted, crossing her hands defensively.I felt a pang of unease at her wo
SeleneI gazed at him viciously “This was your plan all along” I accused tears streaming down my face.“What have I done to deserve this?” I asked, my voice cracked.“Guards, take her back to the dungeon” He instructed. He turned and left the room, leaving me to be dragged away.I landed hard on the cold floor, the door slamming shut behind me. It dawned on me that Lucien might hate me now for trying to exploit information from him.The quest to find my identity has landed me in more mess than I can imagine but I am even more determined.*******I don't know how long I have been here, all I know is that food and water were brought to me at intervals.I sighed, muttering “How long does that man want to lock me up?” I felt stagnant. I should have gotten a clue on how to figure out my identity by now.I heard a clunk sound and the door opened. I paid no attention because I thought it was the guards bringing food.But the constant feeling of being stared at made me look up to the intruder
SeleneThe tension around me increased, I ran in different directions looking for the person that had thrown the stone but nobody looked like it. I was sweating and breathing heavily at this point “What am I even doing?” I mumbled, rubbing my forehead in frustration.Alpha Damian’s voice jolted me out of my reverie “What are you doing here?” My stomach churned as I turned towards him.I meet his curious gaze “ I…I thought I saw something” I whispered.His gaze lingered on me for a while before saying “You should learn to mind your business, it will save you from a whole lot” I nodded as he turned and headed inside. I glanced around cautiously before heading back inside.I took my dinner, yet again it was little. I ate it regardless before falling into a deep slumber my tiredness giving away.I packed my hair into a messy bun, the note on the table drew my attention, and my thoughts lingered back to what was written inside it.I do not want to venture my thoughts into it because why
SeleneRated 18I forced a nervous smile “Help me with what?” I asked, my heart beating rapidly.“Your Identity” Octavia replied, her gaze piercingI feigned shock, frowning “What Identity?” I asked, sounding nonchalant.She sighed, concern and frustration lingering on her face “Selene, I might be new to this pack but I am aware of some things” She said.My heart skipped a bit as I asked “What do you know?” She leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper “I do not know what it is exactly, but I know, there is something beyond what you show us” “I…I” She interrupted “It's okay if you don't want to share it with me, but you don't have to deny it,” She said, her expression gentle.“Octavia, I honestly don't know where you are getting at but I appreciate you for looking out for me,” I said with a smile on my face.She nodded “Alright finish up your meal, I will leave you to it,” She said before heading out.I stared at the food before pushing it aside. I am not certain who is genuinely
DamianI could sense Selene's scent from here, her body also gave her away that she was in heat.While inside my room, my mind went wild on what she could be doing. Olivia was here and if I left she would be suspicious of me.I somehow got her to sleep and slowly I left the room. I placed a knock on Selene’s door but got no response.I clicked the doorknob, surprisingly the door creaked open. I walked in and met an empty room. My mind raced on where she could be and whom she was with. I wanted to leave when my eyes caught the slightly opened bathroom door.I pushed the door slowly and found her deep asleep inside the bathtub.My eyes trailed her body which was barely covered with foamy water. Except for the slight frown on her face, she looked peaceful.I tried not to make any noise as I observed her, our relationship was more like a like-and-hate relationship but other than that she was here for a reason.I leaned towards her, trailing her finger down her bare neck, she flinched as
SeleneAfter my encounter with Olivia, I was more confident in finding out who is trying to harm this pack.I know it's not in my place to do so considering my stance here but it's the least I can do to save us from further harm.I decided that I was going to ask some of the warriors questions with the hopes of them answering me.First I need to meet Lucien, he was the one who called out to me before I was shot. “Hey,” I greeted, him after I was ushered into his room.“Hi, do you need something?” He asked, pointing towards the couch.I sat down, before saying “I am interested on how the war started,” He cast me a wary gaze.I smiled nervously “I mean, I was almost killed,” I said, scratching my neck.His voice turned dismissive “Selene you shouldn't bother yourself with these things, Damian will get to the root of the matter” He said.I sighed the moment I got out of his room, I guess what transpired between us these past few days has made him uptight around me.The next person to vi
Selene“Are you sure you want to meet him?” He asked, pulling me back to sit on his thighs.“Yes,” I said, nodding with a tone of finality.“I will ask the guards to get him,” He said, stroking my thighs.We headed to the dungeon and as we got in I started sweating, it felt like I was suffocating suddenly I became dizzy. The experience I had in this place had traumatized me.I lost my footing, attempting to fall but Damian held me “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.I held my chest trying to breathe “Yes, I…I” I stuttered, closing my eyes.He began to pull me back “Let's go back and come some other time” He whispered.I shook my head, “No, I will manage” I insisted.I took a few more breaths before heading to the torture room with him. I met the sight of Axel’s battered body the moment I walked in.The place reeked of the stench of blood and sweat making me want to throw up but I swallowed the lump in my throat ready to face him.“Hi Axel,” I said, announcing my pr
Damian “Damian let go, you are hurting me” Olivia whined as I gripped her tightly, dragging her to my office.I threw her in roughly, slamming the door close “Damian, I know you are lying to her. You still love me” Her eyes glowed as she smiled.She brought her hands to touch my chest but I held it “Stop okay? Just stop. I never loved you” I yelled.“It was a stupid obligation that kept me with you and I know you don't love me too, it's all about your selfishness to be my Luna” I spat, gazing furiously at her.Her countenance changed “I do not care what you think, you are going to reject Selene and make me your Luna” She screamed.I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling frustrated “Listen, I am done with you. Name your price and fucking leave my life” I snapped.“My price is to be your Luna, I saved you and lost my womb in the process and this is how you pay me back” She yelled.“I didn't ask you to save me okay? You could have left me to die, then I wouldn't have to deal with you”
SeleneI rolled my eyes at her drama, “Keep it low, he is trying to sleep” I whispered, pointing at Damian.Her pupils dilated with fury, “Get out before I have the guards take a criminal like you to the dungeon” She spat.I turned towards Domain, who was deep in sleep and unaware of what was happening. Carefully, I detached myself from his embrace and got down from the bed.I gripped Olivia’s hand tightly and dragged her out of the room “You are going to keep quiet until he wakes up, then you can rant” I snapped, locking gaze with her.“But for now, stay away from this room” I threatened, losing my grip on her.“How dare you order me?” She put out her hands to slap me but I held her back.I tightened my jaw “Don’t try it” I warned.I signaled the bodyguards to keep her at bay before heading back to the room amidst her tantrums.I locked the door and laid back on the bed and Damain wrapped his hands around me “Where were you?” He whispered, kissing my shoulder.“Bathroom” I lied, smot
SeleneImmediately I got into my room with Octavia she pulled me into a tight hug weeping softly. I patted her back blinking my eyes to prevent my tears from falling.“I am glad you came back” She whispered, pulling away from the hug.I nodded, smiling “How did you find the culprit?” I asked. I was extremely curious about it.Her face turned solemn “We haven't found them yet, but Adrain investigated the case and figured out that Axel framed you and he was also part of the accomplice. He is currently in the dungeon” She explained.My face blazed with fury at the mention of Axel’s name but I held myself back. I nodded, “Don’t worry we will find the culprit” She assured me. After that, she left the room and allowed me to rest.I slouched on the bed with mixed feelings, Alpha Damian had changed a lot in just a few days of being away from this pack.I could see the regret that crossed through his eyes and trust me I wanted to jump on him the moment I saw him blame it on the mate bond but t
DamianI pinched the bridge of my nose, frustration kicking in “How did this happen?” I asked.“We have taken the bodies to the packs’ hospital for an autopsy but I suppose they died from poison” Adrain informed me.“Have the chef locked up and keep a close eye on Axel,” I instructed.Adrian left the office but Lucien stayed back “You okay bro?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.I shook my head “No, no. Nothing is making sense” I half yelled, overwhelmed by everything that has been happening since Selene’s absence.I just knew I needed my woman back to have my sanity in check. “We will be fine,” Lucien assured me.The rest of the day went like a blur, early the next morning accompanied by Lucien and Adrain we headed to Pack Hospital for the autopsy result.“Good morning Alpha,” Doctor Ralph the pack's doctor greeted me.I replied in a gruff tone “Morning, what's the result?” He sighed, while I raised my brows “They killed themselves” He declared.I frowned, “How is that possibl
SeleneI widened my eyes “Witch?” I asked, locking my gaze on him.His eyes gleamed as he continued to say“Actually both” The old man smacked his shoulder making him yelp. “Go on, get her something to eat. She needs a lot of strength” He said, pushing him to the door.“How are you, Selene?” He asked, casting a concerned look. “You know my name too?” I asked, sitting properly.He smiled, saying“I know that which the moon goddess wants me to know” I nodded “About what he said, am I truly a witch?” I asked my curiosity at the top.“You have survived the torture for days, you need to eat and freshen up then we can talk,” He said, showing me the bathroom and some neatly arranged clothes to wear.The younger man whom I learned was an apprentice, came in with a tray of food before they all left me alone.I went to the bathroom and had a long bath, luckily all my wounds were healed. After the bath, I adorned myself with the outfit brought for me before settling down to eat.Hours later the
DamianRestlessness, quietness, anger, regret. These emotions flooded through me as I gazed at the open space lost in my thoughts.Days of pain, torture, and fear of never getting to meet Selene. I missed her a whole lot and I never truly understood what it meant to love someone deeply until this day.My relationship with Olivia was more of an obligation but with Selene it was pure and I fear she would feel the same way for me ever again.The pain, humiliation, and torture that I had melted on her must have reshaped her mindset towards me but I wasn't going to give up. I will make her fall in love with me.“Thinking about Selene again?” I heard a voice breaking me from my trance.I didn't realize that I was weeping until I felt the warm tears on my cheek. I gently wiped my tears meeting Lucien’s concerned gaze “I can't help it” I replied pinching the bridge of my nose.His expression softened “I believe she will return” He said, pulling out a seat and getting comfortable on it.I sig
SeleneI let out a pained yelp as I was forcefully thrown to the floor. Rubbing my sore butt, I stood up, confusion etched on my face. “Why couldn't I pass through?” I attempted to enter the hallway again, but an invisible force pushed me back, sending me stumbling.I staggered managing to keep myself from falling “I am Selene, I need to get through and find my identity. So please let me in” I pleaded.To my surprise, I heard a faint sound and the force holding me back disappeared. I stepped forward cautiously but Immediately I walked in, I was thrown into a place full of pins.“Ohh no” I muttered, my heart racing with fear. Dorathus had told me that I would face demons to get to the place where my Identity would be revealed.If I was to come out of the place alive I need to be extremely careful to move past this. I began to tiptoe, being careful not to be punctured by the pins.I scaled halfway through when exhaustion began to kick in. I stood still, gasping for air “Keep moving, t
Damian I forced a nervous smile, trying to process what Adrain had just said “By accusing the wrong person you mean Selene?” I asked.He nodded, dropping some files on my desk before sitting down “How did you know that?” I asked, raising a brow at him.“I admit that you asked me to drop the investigation but I couldn't. Selene isn't that type of person and I finally proved it” He said, tapping the files.I pinched the bridge of my nose, a wave of nausea scorching through me “What's in there?” I heard Lucien ask.Adrain Locked his gaze on me “Apparently, Axel lied about everything. Selene on the other hand was trying to find the culprit, she had approached Axel to help her not knowing he was evil” Adrain said.I snapped my eyes open “Axel?” I asked, shock etched in my voice.He nodded “Unfortunately, our most trusted warrior is a culprit, he framed Selene,” Adrain said.I furrowed my brows in confusion “Selene accepted the crime, why?” I asked.“From my investigation, Axel had threate
