Selene ran towards the woods as soon as she got out of the tunnel. She decided not to go through the city or town for fear that she would be caught in no time. She continued to run in the woods. Her bare foot crushed the dry leaves on the ground. She held her nightgown in her hand to protect herself from tripping over the gown. She was exhausted, but she needed to keep going. She looked behind her to see that she couldn't even see the palace walls again. Finally, she is escaping from the hellhole. The full moon was already in view, and this was the moment the werewolves feared because it affected their wolf abilities and made them weak, reducing them to humans. Selene stopped suddenly when she felt pain surge through her body, from her head to her toes. Though she was slapped and whipped by the guards in the morning, the pain she felt right now was worse than getting beaten. For the first time since her existence, she felt a sudden pain in her back and spine. Her leg trippe
“We need five horses that are well-fed and strong,” Harold explained to the guards. He threw a pouch full of gold coins to the guard. The guard caught the pouch in time and bowed his head deeply. “I will bring them to you now, milord." The guard replied, his eyes lit up in joy at the huge amount of gold coins given to him. The guard left them to prepare the five horses. Some minutes later, he came back with five healthy horses and handed them to Harold and the men next to him. The guard bowed his head before leaving them to stand back in his position. “Your Highness,” Harold said, showing Rayne the horse. Rayne mounts the black horse while his men, including Dennis, mount the other four horses. “Hei” They nudge the horse by the side, and the horse neighs and begins to gallop through the sandy ground. The horse continues to gallop until they pass the marketplace and some of the small villages in Eldoria. The villagers stop what they are doing to look at the group of men
When Selene fluttered her eyelid open, it was already morning. She squinted her eyes tightly because of the sudden light that came in through the window. Selene was shocked to find herself in an unfamiliar room with only a long black robe covering her body. Her head was blank as she tried to recall what happened. Selene took in some deep breaths with her parted lips, and the memories came rushing to her. “I'm no longer in the woods,” she whispered, her heart beating even as she moved her body towards the edge of the bed. Last night, she thought she was going to die from the transformation in the woods, and she vividly remembers how her body reacted. Selene was glad this was not the palace walls and was happy to have successfully left the palace without getting caught or dying in the woods in her wolf form. “But where am I?” She asked no one in particular, as she was alone in the room. The floor of the room was made of wood, and the ceiling was made of wood. She could inhale
“This is a new beginning for us, Olivia. I will forever be grateful to him for what he has done. He saved me,” Selene said, smiling wide with her perfect white set of teeth displayed when she saw the children waving at her. “What about our mate, Selene? He will be mad if he doesn't see you.” “You don't know Rayne; he doesn't care about me, Olivia. Did you even know what he did?” Selene asked as she wrapped her hands under her bosom. The breeze ruffled her hair. “You have to forgive him. He is your mate.” “I can't even feel the bond; what if he is just mad?” Selene confessed.Olivia was about to prove Selene wrong when a knock at the door interrupted them. A young lady came in with some fresh clothes in her hand. The woman bows slightly before giving the clothes to Selene. “Logan asked me to bring these clothes to you. My name is Eve.” “Thank you,” Selene said, taking the clothes from the young lady. “I'm Selene” “Alright, everyone wants to meet you, Selene.” “If you want t
Selene was sure the king wouldn't look for her since he had already found the woman he loved. “This is a small village located outside of the three neighboring kingdoms.” Logan declares for Selene to hear. “We are survivors of slavery and had to settle in the middle of nowhere just to take care of ourselves. I'm the head of this village; my name is Logan Whitmore.” Logan explained and stood straight. “We major in medicine, herb brewing, and silk making. We have an actress among us who acts in theater rooms in two kingdoms, Eldoria and Eldora. If you need a stable job, you will surely find one here.” Logan added. Selene's eyes piqued with interest when she heard this, but Eldoria? She is not planning to go back to that kingdom after what happened. Now that she is far away from him, she couldn't be happier. “Azalea and Eve will take you around the village. Welcome to Starlight Falls Village, Selene. Enjoy the rest of your day, Selene.” Logan added, making his way towards the st
“Selene, do you like the way things are done here?” Eve asked Selene. Eve is already in love with Selene's personality, and she wouldn't hesitate to be her friend. “I love it, Eve. I love the way things are done here.” Selene answered, her voice laced with curiosity as she stared at the field across her. It looks exactly like the training ground field back in the palace. “I'm glad you like it,” Eve said with enthusiasm. Azalea followed Selene's line of vision and walked closer to her. “That is the training ground for both men and women in this village. We are all trained to be strong and independent.” Azalea lectures Selene, breaking Selene from her thoughts. Selene's eyebrows raised in awe when she heard this. “Can I join too?” Selene asked, her voice laced with eagerness. “Everyone is allowed, Selene,” Eve chirped in, answering before Azalea could answer. “Okay,” “I will be getting prepared for tomorrow's acting in the famous theater house in Eldora. I'm the supporting
“You should have gone when I told you, too. But you thought I wouldn't know you were working for the Blue Stone Kingdom,” Rayne interjected, hitting the bull in the eye. Aron found himself tongue-tied as he parted his lips. “Where did it go all wrong?” Aron wondered. He swallowed the lump in his throat and stared at Rayne's boots warily. “I demand some explanation, Aron. Prove me wrong if I'm wrong. You sent the Coyotes” “I didn't!” Aron yelled, and the chains jingled with the movement of his body. “I didn't send the keys. I didn't do all that,” Aron whispered. His head kept banging, and it felt as if it was going to explode. His body ached because of the pain inflicted on him, and he couldn't heal. The guards didn't stop feeding him the silver water, and this messed up his body. Werewolves are weak to silver water, and he was only alive because he came from the powerful lineage of werewolves. “So you are indeed working with Blue Stone Kingdom,” Rayne points out. “Wha
Isabella had the faint idea that it was probably because of Selene. “Is there something I can do to make you relax?” Isabella asked in a sultry voice. “There is nothing you can do Isabella. Leave!” This felt like a blow to Isabella's face and her face reddened with embarrassment. Her throat felt parched as she stared at Rayne. The devil didn't even bother to look at her. She has dressed up specifically for him and even applied some scent on her body.She wanted to smell nice for Rayne but it seems Rayne is not in the mood today. But she was eager. She wanted to receive his seed into her womb and also have his children. This is the best time for her to do it since she will be ovulating soon but Rayne is not even looking her way. “Are you sure you didn't need anything, Rayne?” “I said leave Isabella. Leave! Not everything is about sex! Leave me alone!” Rayne's raging voice resonates in the room. If Isabella was embarrassed before, now she is dumbstruck. She has never received
