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
Selene I chose to forget about the encounter on the battlefield because no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get a grasp of it.“You’ve been out for three days, I was worried” Emery gripped my hands, her brows creased with a frown.“Three days is a long time, but thanks to the moon goddess I am finally on my feet” I smiled.“Meet me in my office now” I heard his raspy voice in my mind as I groaned internally.I walked in on Adrain who passed me a brief smile before leaving “Seat” His shrill voice resonated while I succumbed to his request.“I haven't forgotten about your punishment, you know that?” He held my gaze while I flinched from the tone of his baritone voice.“I promise to obey orders, please spare me this one time” I shut my eyes while pleading.I opened my eyes to see him leaning to my level “Today is an even day. You seem to have forgotten your purpose of being here, don't keep me waiting” He spat coldly while I let out a low whimper, shifting uncontrollably like they
SeleneI squinted my eyes, adjusting them to the sunlight. The flashes of last night played in my memory, I closed my legs tightly to get rid of the sensation that still lingered in between my legs.“For a second, I thought you would never wake up” I heard his hoarse voice making me snap fully awake, my heart skipping a bit.“Good morning Alpha” My voice was inaudible as I pinched my throat from the discomfort.“Afternoon, Good afternoon Selene” His voice thick as his gaze lingered on me for a while before I became self-conscious of my nudity.Grabbing the duvet and covering myself with it, I heard him say “Go on, freshen up before eating” He pointed at the tray of food in the center of his room.I grabbed the duvet and got off the bed. I attempted to move but my butt landed on the floor from my leg feeling jelly “Are you okay?” His voice was laced with concern as my face flushed with embarrassment.“Let me help you” He offered, lifting me and heading to the bathroom. After much strug
SeleneI stumbled through the hallway, Emery grabbed my arm, saving me from a face-plant into the wall. "Girl, watch where you're going!" she laughed. I rubbed my tired eyes, still trying to shake off the exhaustion. "Sorry, I wasn't looking," I admitted, yawning.Emery scrutinized my face, her brow furrowed with concern. "You look like you've been through a war. What's going on?" I hesitated, unsure if I should share my worries with her. But something about her kind expression put me at ease. "Let's just say I didn't get much sleep," I hinted, trying to brush it off.We walked into the dining room, and my eyes landed on Olivia, who was practically sitting on the Alpha's lap. I rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of annoyance. "The full moon is coming, hopefully, you'll be pregnant by then," Olivia said, her voice dripping with sweetness. I forced a smile, trying to hide my unease. "Hopefully," I echoed, glancing at the Alpha, who seemed oblivious to the tension.But as I looked at him, m
Selene“Have we met before?” He asked, pinning his pierced gaze on me.I watched Emery walk past us while I muffled a curse “I am not sure. If you would excuse me” I scampered away before he could respond. “Emery,” I called out, holding onto her shoulders as we got closer to her room.“I have been calling you, what is wrong?” I breathed out, before facing her.“Are you going to pretend like you don't know?” She asked, peeling my hands away from her shoulder.I protested “It's not what you think” waving my hands hurriedly.She folded her hands and tilted her head to the side “Enlighten me on what you think it is” She flared.“I swear, if I could avoid having a conversation with him you know I would have done that.” I spat hurriedly.“I am finding it hard to believe you are not cunning, you purposely came to the dining room late to gather attention right?, you have been playing the pity card to get everyone to pity you but deep inside you are not a good person” Her eyes blazed with int
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
DamianMy anger flared up as I thundered “Selene has escaped and you have the guts to come and tell me. Go and look for her” I yelled, my voice echoing.He bowed and scurried out of the room, leaving me seething with rage “Adrain make sure most of the warriors go in search of her. Inform every pack in case she is found there” I said, locking gaze with him.He nodded, his expression somber before leaving the room. I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to shake off the headache that was brewing “She has the nerve to escape from me” I muttered.Time ticked as I sat on my chair, tapping my finger impatiently on my leg. Adrain walked in “I have put a call across our ally packs, they will notify us immediately she is spotted in their territory ” He informed.I nodded, gesturing for him to sit. “Has any of the warriors returned with any news?” I asked, my frustration wearing thin.He shook his head “None yet” I sighed, rubbing my temples “How did this happen in the first place?” I asked.
SeleneI knew my scent was covered, and I'd be untraceable, but I wasn't going to give my pursuers any chance to catch up. I quickly got to my feet, careful to cover my tracks as I disappeared into the forest. After throwing them off my trail, I finally felt safe enough to stop and catch my breath.I got to a river after a while and I felt the sudden need to have a bath because I haven't had one since I got locked up.I glanced around cautiously, before pulling my clothes and dipping myself into the water.The cold and refreshing feeling it gave me calmed my nerves, I quickly washed myself up, got out, and changed into the clean clothes Dorathus had kept for me.I sat down and brought out food to eat, I ate my meal glancing around to be sure that no one was coming. I finished eating and I was packing up to leave so I could find somewhere to stay since it was getting dark.I heard a deep voice say “What is a she-wolf doing all by herself in the middle of the forest” My mind and body
