SeleneWho knew that training to be a reputable woman for the Alpha was much of a hassle, I could feel my back aching and my legs throbbing from it.“I have never seen Olivia with such quality,” I thought.The lady assigned to train me took the work more seriously than I had imagined.“You are indeed a true leader” The words from her kept me pondering as I sprawled lifelessly on the bed.“What does she mean by that?” I mumbled, I have a very faint memory of my childhood days, and although I have wanted to know about my past, the fear of what I will discover kept hindering me.“What are you thinking about?” I abruptly sat up when I heard his voice.“Alpha, I didn't hear you come in” I bowed as he settled beside me.“How is the training going?” He asked, scanning me.“More like a death sentence, my whole body aches” I whined while he chuckled.“Freshen up and meet me downstairs in 10 minutes” He stood up walking towards the door while I looked perplexed.“Ughhh” I dragged my hair feelin
Selene“Keep it low, someone is tailing you” I heard the Alpha’s voice, ease written all over my phase as he released me.“Come with me” He dragged me till we got to the end of the hallway.“I am sorry, I didn't know it was you” I breathed out, gazing at him.“It's fine, welcome to our pack” He leaned to my level placing a lingering kiss on my lips.He placed his lips on my ear “Don’t get too close to my cousin, I hate to see it” He strengthened himself.“Go join the celebration” He walked off immediately while I stood trying to process his words.I stood there for how long till I heard Emery calling out to me “I have been looking everywhere for you” “Yeah, sorry I wandered off” I answered facing her as she passed me a glass of drink dragging me to where the celebration was taking place.**************Tomorrow I would confront Imogen, my bestfriend who had shattered my trust. The betrayal still lingered, a wound that has refused to heal. Now I am going to get my answers, although th
SeleneWith a thrill of victory jolting through my veins, I strolled into the room I shared with the Alpha, my footsteps echoing with the satisfaction of winning over my ex-best friend, my heart swelling with pride.The Alpha’s eyes met with mine and I could sense a hint of curiosity “I was worried about you, hope she didn't hurt you?” He asked the moment I walked in.“No, I am fine although she tried. I was ready for her and I had nothing to lose” I smiled, settling on the bed.“With the way you are smiling, it is very obvious you beat her to her own game” He chuckled, settling beside me.“You need to see the look on her face when I was leaving” I squealed, clasping my hands.I have never felt the feeling of satisfaction in a while and It felt like I was floating against all odds.“I am glad that you finally got the closure you wanted” Alpha gave a hearty smile.“I am thankful to you for the opportunity, it wouldn't have been possible if you didn't grant me this opportunity” I smiled
SeleneIt was finally the day of Imogen and my ex-mate's mating ceremony. I had woken up late because I had a long night.I blushed as I remembered the memory of last night “Daydreaming?” I heard his voice as I almost collided with him.“Huh?” I asked, striding out of my trance.“Is that a taint on your face?” He asked in amusement while I coughed.“N...no, Good morning. I was looking for you” I tried to divert the topic and was glad that I was successful.“Ohh, I had to meet with other Alpha’s. Is there a problem?” He asked, staring directly at me.“Not at all, I was wondering where you went to”“You must be hungry, let's head to the dining. I was coming to get you” He held my hands pulling softly towards the dining room.After breakfast, he tried to convince me to go to the beauty salon where other women of the Alpha had gone to get a makeover for the event tonight.“I do not fit in, I’d pass” I waved nonchalantly settling down on the couch in the room.“No one is going to say anyth
DamianI sat on my office table facing Olivia as her tears fell freely, I was torn between consoling her or letting her cry. Perhaps she found out that I took Selene to a ceremony in place of her.She wiped her tears, while I watched her beautiful face become red “Ever since she came here, you have changed” She hiccuped before continuing.“Damian, do you know the humiliation and how embarrassed I felt when I heard the news of how you took her to a ceremony and introduced her as your woman” She sagged her shoulder gazing at me with her teary eyes.A pang of guilt hit me as she asked “Do I still mean anything to you?” “Olivia” I called out, stepping closer to her and leaning to her level.“This isn't what you think, yes I overdid it by introducing her as my woman but I was only trying to help her get a closure with her best friend and her ex-mate” I explained wiping the remains of her tears.“You are ruining your beautiful face by crying and I don't like it,” I said softly, caressing h
SeleneGetting closure from a past rejected relationship and feeling a sense of rejection almost immediately is something that needs to be studied in my life.I do understand Olivia’s plight but the Alpha making it look like I was the one who suggested it all along was news to me.“I was so sure this wouldn't blow out of proportion, I guess I was wrong,” Emery lamented, pacing around the room while I was trying to concentrate.“Can you stay still or rather sit, you are making me feel dizzy by being all over the place” I huffed in frustration while she scooted close to me.I had an earful from Olivia this morning during breakfast and he sat there acting like I was nonexistent and now we can vividly hear the non-stop moans from Olivia.“They are surely having a good time” I chuckled sadly, blaming myself once more for getting my hopes high.I let myself in after knocking on his office door. He relayed the information of days that have been fixed to meet with him and how we should stick
Selene“What do you mean by that?” I scrunched my brows while he smirked.“You need to fight not talk” Lyra screamed before transforming without my permission.He transformed too as we fought, I got a few bruises before I mastered his tactics and in no time he was lying lifeless on the ground.“Bloody rogue” Lyra cussed before transforming back to our human form.With my clothes torn I managed to tie the remains of it around my body before heading to the other side.It seemed the battle was over before I got there because they were clearing up the bodies.“Selene?” Lucien called out while the Alpha, Adrain, and I guess the head of the warrior turned to my direction.“I told you not to come here, you are bleeding” He looked pissed.I stared down at my hand “It's nothing” I chuckled before we all heard groaning and a thud.I stared in horror as Adrain fell to the floor bleeding, the chief warrior quickly attacked the rogue before killing him.I sprinted towards Adrain who was losing con
DamianI glanced at Selene “Why isn't she waking up?” I asked the pack doctor who just shook his head.“Nothing seems to be wrong with her. She probably needs some rest.” He suggested Selene had been unconscious for a couple of hours and I was worried it might be something serious.“Emery, you stay here and watch out for any changes” I instructed stepping out of her room.********“Do you think this is associated with the battlefield incident?” Adrain asked while I furrowed my eyebrows.“Do you think that your wound healing quickly has anything to do with her?” I shot him a quizzical look while he shrugged.“I am just saying, there could be a possibility. She came in contact with my wound and it healed immediately” He struggled to prove a point.“Then she heals you and she goes unconscious. That doesn't make any sense” I creased my brows leaning back in my seat.I am trying not to believe that whatever led to Adrain’s wound healing immediately has to do with Selene but the fact that s
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 “Who are you people and what do you want?” She asked, trembling.“You have hurt one of us and you will pay for it” 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. “Lucien, have you seen Selene?” He asked, his brows scrunched up
SeleneI dressed up quickly and headed back to the office. “Where is she?” I asked, locking my gaze on Adrian.He coughed, gazing at my hair “What?” I asked, darting my eyes to Damian whose face was cast downwards.“Your hair looks disheveled,” 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 “We were doing a pillow fight, I told him it was a silly thing to do” I whined, smiling nervously.He chuckled, “Yes, I understand. Dorathus is in the dungeon” He said.I sighed in relief as he changed the topic “We will see them tomorrow” Damian said.After he left, I sat on the couch slamming my face “Adrain will think I am a pervert” I groaned.Damian chuckled “This is what normal couples do, it's nothing to be ashamed of” He coaxed.I nodded, remembering why I came here in the first place “Have you thought about Axel?” I asked.He sighed, settling on his seat “Although I am having a double mind, we wil
SeleneMy eyes were wide with shock at the people she just mentioned. I chuckled, “This is a joke. It can't be true right?” I asked, my heart beating rapidly.“It'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 over” She snapped.I gasped “Oh my goodness,” I said, my voice barely audible.“Wolftamer 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 him” She screamed.“He has refused to supply me the concoctions anymore claiming that you are innocent and he can't bring himself to harm you” She snarled.“So 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?” Damian asked.“I don't care if I have to stay twenty-five years as long as I achieve what I want,” She screamed.“I will not let you harm this pack and its people b
Damian“I..I, Damian what are you doing here?” My mother asked, smiling nervously.My eyes moved to the supposed maid that poisoned Selene before I gazed scornfully at my mother “Have them all thrown into the dungeon immediately” I yelled.“You can't do that, I am your mother!!!” My mom yelled as she was dragged away.I sat down in confusion, I always thought my mother’s 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.“They are blending in and settling down very well, you don't have to worry about them causing problems for the pack” 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. “You are back?” I asked. She nodded, “Hmm, a maid told me you were in a meeting,” She said.I raised my brows, frowning “What maid?” I asked.She let out a nervous laugh “The one you sent to serve me juice” She replied.I narrowed my gaze, saying “I didn't send anyone to serve you juice”Her face contoured and she ran to the bathroom “Selene!!” 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 Damian’s 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 Damian’s chamber.My hands instinctively went to my stomach.“I am glad I didn't lose you” 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.“Drive faster” I yelled, tears rolling down my chin. Immediately our pack came into view, I pushed the door and ran to the pack’s hospital.“Get Doctor Ralph for me” I yelled to one of the nurses.I placed her on the bed and rolled her to the theatre “Alpha you have to wait here” 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, “Damian how is she?” He asked.I shook my head, “She is still inside the theatre” 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 “Damian
Damian“Selene, Selene!!” I called out, chasing after her but Lucien held my hands.“That's enough Damian, you have done more harm than good. I told you not to hurt her again but you didn't listen” He snapped.I pinched the bridge of my nose “Am I supposed to pay for the sins of my father?” I asked.“This 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 truth” He yelled.“The 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 her” He snapped.He sighed “Damian, she didn't have to find out this way, this is the highest level of betrayal,” He said and walked off.I sat on the couch, Agatha warned me but I refused. “How was I supposed to tell Selene the truth?” I thought.The door burst open and Adrain rushed in “What happened?” He asked.I explained everything that happened to him, and he sat on the floor “Damian, our past
SeleneI titled my head “Fancy seeing you here” I said, darting my eyes around to be sure I was safe.“I came alone, no need to be scared,” He said, getting close.“Keep your distance” I warned, eyeing him.He raised his hands in surrender “Okay”“What are you doing in this area that, too close to the Crimson Moon pack?” I asked.“I have been here for days trying to get past the borders to meet you but I can't,” He said.“It's called security and if I may ask, why are you looking for me?” I asked, gazing suspiciously at him.“To seek forgiveness” He muttered.I chuckled deeply, “Is that a word?” I askedShock passed through his eyes “I know I and Imogen have wronged you but this is me apologizing for my misdeed” He said.I laughed “I have heard that word a lot, it's now sounding like a broken record,” I said, gazing at him furiously.“You 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 despicable” I half yel
