SeleneI dragged my hair feeling frustrated âWho is playing this game with me?â I thought.âYou look lost, is everything okay?â I heard Adrainâs voice behind me.I folded the notes quickly before turning towards him with a smile âAhh, yes. I don't do well with the crowdâ I chuckled while he nodded.âDo you want to get a drink?â He questioned while I nodded.We got our drinks and sat down sipping it quietly, I skimmed my eyes around still trying to find anything odd.âAre you sure you are okay?â Adrainâs voice brought me out of my search.I stirred my during with its straw, slurping it âYes, I amâ I replied.âWe are leaving tomorrow,â He notified me while I nodded.âHow does it feel leaving your sister behind in a new place?â I asked while a flicker of emotion flashed through his eyes.âShe has her own family now, it was bound to happenâ He replied while I nodded.My eyes wandered towards Emery âI am going to miss herâ âYeah, me too,â He said.*********As the party drew to a close, I
SeleneSince my call with Emery, everyone has been a suspect. I have concluded that what I possess is required by a lot of people and I am scared for my well-being.I am more determined to figure out what I am before anyone else does âSelene, Selene?â The alphaâs voice tugged me out of my reverie.âUgh,â I stared confusedly at him.âYou have been stabbing your food and not eating it, whatâs wrong?â He asked while Olivia scoffed.âOhh, IâĶitâs nothingâ I smiled nervously, placing a steak into my mouth.âShe is just seeking attention,â Olivia mocked as she hissed loudly.Alpha Damian's gaze narrowed his eyes warning Olivia to behave âOlivia, decorumâ Alpha cautioned his tone firm.After breakfast, Alpha summoned me to his office.âDid something happen in that pack that you are not telling me?â He asked, his eyes boring into mine.I shook my head, trying to appear nonchalant.âNothing happened thereâ I replied, as he tilted his brows gazing suspiciously at me.Sighing âYou know if somethin
DamianWarning, sexual content below!!!I stood tall over the sleeping figure as Adrainâs voice broke the silence âDo you think there is any progress?â He asked, his eyes locked on mineI tore my gaze away from the figure before me and focused on Adrain âIf we hasten up on our investigation there might be some progressâ I replied, my voice calculated.Adrain hands rested on my shoulder, his touch reassuring âI am sure we won't be lateâ He said, his tone confident.We lingered in the room for a moment, the air filled with unspoken words. Finally, we took our leave and the soft clink of our footwear echoed behind us.We stepped into the hallway as Oliviaâs voice floated towards us, her tone inviting âHey handsome, been looking for you,â I turned to face her, a smile spreading across my face âIs everything okay?â I asked my eyes, scanning her. Adrain excused himself, leaving me and Olivia alone. She grasped my hands, her touch warmâDid you send for Selene, I saw her coming from the
Selene I stood before the mirror, my fingers grazing the sensitive skin of my neck, sending shivers down my spine.The tiny mark on my neck was a piece of evidence that I was almost marked by the Alpha last night and the strong pull I felt for him seemed to have developed overnight.His elongated fangs and his red eyes were still embedded in my mind. Sighing, I took a quick trip to the kitchen to get his tea ready.After that I headed to his room and placed a knock on his door âCome inâ I heard his rough voice, and I shuddered from the impact.I walked in and found him shirtless, his hair looking messy and a scowl etched on his face. My eyes widened, and I gulped nervously as he cast me a hard glare.âGood morning Alpha,â I said, forcing a smile to ease the tension. âYour tea is readyâHe rubbed his sleepy eyes, his eyes softening lightly âMmm, drop itâ He muttered, pointing towards his bedside table. I placed it on the table, heaving a sigh of relief as he rose from the bed and he
SeleneMy breath caught in my throat as I thought of the most insane things âMate, is the Alpha her ma..â I trailed off, my words dying in my lips as Adrain rushed towards the frail she-wolf pulling her into a tight hug.âGet the pack doctorâ He yelled, scooping her up in his arms and sprinting towards the pack hospital.I exhaled a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, feeling a mix of relief and confusion. Lyra's voice whispered in my mind, "You're falling for him, aren't you?"I shook my head vehemently, defending myself. "I am not!" Deep down, however, I felt a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that the she-wolf wasn't the Alpha's mate, but Adrain's. Alpha's baritone voice snapped me out of my thoughts âYou aren't coming?â He asked, his eyes narrowing.I composed myself and walked beside him into the pack hospital, we got in and found Adrain pacing back and forth, his face etched with worry.âShe will be fineâ Alpha reassured him, placing a hand on his shoulders on him.
SeleneâGirl you need to leaveâ Lyra yelled, I turned towards the she-wolf trying to free my hands from her.She whimpered, and my heart tugged at the sound of it âLet's try one more timeâ I pleaded to Lyra.With a deep breath, I slit my wrist again because the earlier one was healed, closing my eyes I drop the blood on her injury.Muttering prayers and hoping it would work. I opened my eyes and found her wounds healing gradually. I smiled, hoping she would transform into her human state when the shuffling at the door drew my attention.I covered her body with the blanket, quickly drank the milk, and stood up âYou should leave,â The bodyguard said flipping his gaze from the she-wolf to me.I force a nervous smile onto my face âI was about toâ I said, hastily leaving the room.I quickly dropped the empty glass of milk and sauntered to my room feeling exhausted.Slumping on the bed, I summoned my wolf âDo you think it would work?â I asked.She hissed âYou should worry about what would h
DamianI knew Selene was up to something when it was reported to me that she visited Adrainâs mate.Dinner rolled by but she didn't show up and when I went to her room this morning, she persistently asked me about Adrainâs mate.When Adrainâs mate came into the dining room looking healthy, I stared at Selene in suspicion.She knew something and it made me edgy but one thing I know is that she can't know more than she already does.My thought was cut short by Adrainâs voice âDid something happen between you both, why is she crying?â Adrain asked, looking clueless.I rubbed my face in frustration, âYou do realize that Selene may or may not have healed your mate?â I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral.Adrain shrugged his shoulders, settling on the seat opposite âThen I should be grateful to herâ He said, his expression sincere.I sighed, a wave of frustration washing through me âYou don't get it, do you? She is asking questions, which is not good. She is supposed to be in the darkâ I
SeleneI stared at my burnt hands as they healed up quickly. I am starting to hate what I possess because it feels like a curse and I also believe it is the reason why I never found true happiness.The microwave beeped, breaking my reverie. I wiped away my tears and carefully placed a new cup of hot chocolate on the tray. With a deep breath, I headed back to the Alpha's chamber.Olivia took a deep breath, her voice hesitant âI guess I shouldn't have thrown you a hot chocolate,â Olivia said.I scoffed mentally âIt was my mistake,â I said, forcing a stiff smile.âSeat, I will treat your woundâ Olivia offered, I could feel the pretense behind those smiles.âNot to worry, my wounds are healed alreadyâ I informed her, I felt Alpha Damianâs piercing gaze on me as I exited the room. I bumped into Octavia in the hallway, âHi Seleneâ She chirped. I have been trying to avoid her since our last conversation but she seemed persistent in wanting to be friends with me.âHey,â I replied nonchalantl
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
