SeleneI tossed and turned in bed, unable to shake off the events of the night. My mind was a mess of questions and emotions.I kept asking myself how my blood could heal the Alpha’s injury “Arghh” I screamed, dragging my hair.“Lyra,” I called out to my wolf.“I am trying to get some sleep if you would cut me some slack. You should sleep as well” She chided, she can be nonchalant at times.“I can hear you” She warned while I rolled my eyes, puffing some air.Just as I was starting to drift off to sleep, a knock at the door jolted me awake. I groggily made my way to the door, opening it “Emery not now” I whined before meeting the wary gaze of Alpha Damian.“Good morning Alpha,” I bowed lightly, trying to hide my sleep-derived face.He raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Did you sleep at all?" he asked, his voice low and husky.I shrugged, feeling a flush of embarrassment rise to my cheeks. "Maybe," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.His gaze lingered on me,
SeleneThe tension in the dining room was apparent, and I was counting down the minutes until it was over. Alpha Asher, the mysterious stranger, couldn't take his eyes off Emery, who was still clinging to my hand like a lifeline. I was stuck in the middle, trying to wrap my head around the fact that Emery had finally found her mate after waiting for so long and at the worst possible time when I needed her.“Emery please let go of me and eat” I whispered trying to figure out the turmoil brewing in her head.She reluctantly removed her hands away from me and attempted to eat, I could still feel the intense gaze thrown at her making her squirm uncontrollably in her seat.“Can you quit throwing her that gaze, it is making her uncomfortable” I snapped before I could stop myself. The room fell silent, with all eyes on me. Alpha Damian raised an eyebrow, and I bowed my head in embarrassment. "Let's eat," he instructed, saving me from further humiliation.After lunch, Emery’s mate asked to
SeleneThe stench of blood and sweat welcomed me as they dragged me into the dungeon.My tears fell freely because I knew I hadn't done anything “Please I am innocent” “Shut up” One of the guards sneered while pushing me into a smaller compartment and locking the door.**********I felt a pool of water on my face followed by a hit across my face tugging me awake, I raised my head meeting the stern look of the Alpha, making me scramble to my feet “You have the guts to sleep after stealing” He yelled, staring disdainly at me.I shook my head realizing that I had fallen asleep while crying “I didn't steal” I defended in a low tone while I felt a stinging slap on my chin.“You still have the guts to lie” He groaned.“Guards take her to the torture room” He ordered while I shook my head vehemently remembering my last experience with Olivia at the dungeon.“Please, I didn't steal anything. I beg you” I cried as they dragged me away.I was pushed onto a metallic chair and my arm tied behind
DamianI sipped my tea, my mind consumed by thoughts of Selene. Her fragile state, constantly drifting in and out of consciousness, weighed heavily on my conscience. The guilt troubled me, reminding me that it was all my fault.“Alpha, breakfast is served," the servant announced, breaking my reverie. I nodded, handing her the empty glass, and made my way out.I walked straight to Selene’s room contemplating if I should check on her. Deciding against it, I made my way to the dining room.I saw a figure staring around, her body language quite uncertain, I took a quick stride towards her as a sense of familiarity dawned on me “Selene?” I called out, my voice reserved.She stiffened, then turned to face me, her head bowed. "Greetings, Alpha," she whispered, her voice barely audible. I asked, worry lacing my tone, "What are you doing here? Do you feel better?” I attempted to touch her but she flinched, moving away from me.My heart stilled, and I tightened my jaw. Fear flashed through m
SeleneI stood frozen, my eyes wide with shock as I realized what I had done. “I…I” I stuttered but his thunderous voice cut me off.“Get out!!” He bellowed, his fingers pointing towards the door.I scurried away, heaving a breath after I had gotten in my room “Lyra you went too far” I whined feeling a mix of guilt and a hint of satisfaction.My wolf scoffed, her voice echoing through my mind “That man is heartless can't you see, I gave him a piece of my mind” she hissed.I giggled “Well, I enjoyed it, but we will suffer the consequences tomorrow” I stated, my grin fading into a frown.Alpha Damian is truly ruthless, refusing to apologize after melting out the wrong judgment and still acting like he owned me, well maybe he does.I hissed “Very pathetic”*******“Can I come in?” Emery popped her head into the room after a knock.“Thank goodness you are here, come in” I replied, rubbing my growling stomach.She settled beside me “I am hungry” I stated.“Dinner is over but you can get fo
SeleneI sprang to my feet quickly, my heart racing with anticipation as I rushed out the door but to my dismay, I met with an empty hallway.I let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing my forehead and I turned to head back inside and bumped into someone, my heart beating fast.“Are you okay?” Adrain’s concerned voice broke the silence.I released a shallow breath, my heart still racing “You scared me” I frowned, attempting to compose myselfHis expression softened “Sorry, I heard sounds and I came out to check who it was” He replied while I nodded.“It's nothing, It might be a rat or something” I lied heading towards my room.“Good night” I whispered, heading inside.I put the jar back in its position and headed back to the bed.I don't know if I was hallucinating or if this was the weird feeling of being in a new place but I was certain that something wasn't right.“Ugh,” I groaned, not wanting to ruin Emery’s beautiful occasion with my observation.*******I woke up with a scorching he
SeleneI dragged my hair feeling frustrated “Who is playing this game with me?” I thought.“You look lost, is everything okay?” I heard Adrain’s voice behind me.I folded the notes quickly before turning towards him with a smile “Ahh, yes. I don't do well with the crowd” I chuckled while he nodded.“Do you want to get a drink?” 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.“Are you sure you are okay?” Adrain’s voice brought me out of my search.I stirred my during with its straw, slurping it “Yes, I am” I replied.“We are leaving tomorrow,” He notified me while I nodded.“How does it feel leaving your sister behind in a new place?” I asked while a flicker of emotion flashed through his eyes.“She has her own family now, it was bound to happen” He replied while I nodded.My eyes wandered towards Emery “I am going to miss her” “Yeah, me too,” 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 “Selene, Selene?” The alpha’s voice tugged me out of my reverie.“Ugh,” I stared confusedly at him.“You have been stabbing your food and not eating it, what’s wrong?” He asked while Olivia scoffed.“Ohh, I…it’s nothing” I smiled nervously, placing a steak into my mouth.“She is just seeking attention,” Olivia mocked as she hissed loudly.Alpha Damian's gaze narrowed his eyes warning Olivia to behave “Olivia, decorum” Alpha cautioned his tone firm.After breakfast, Alpha summoned me to his office.“Did something happen in that pack that you are not telling me?” He asked, his eyes boring into mine.I shook my head, trying to appear nonchalant.“Nothing happened there” I replied, as he tilted his brows gazing suspiciously at me.Sighing “You know if somethin
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
