“Poor King…But grandma Genesis, it is not that bad if he takes me away… he would love me just as he does his daughter and buys me lots and lots of candy and ice-cream and toys and..” the little girl’s galloping imagination was cut off.

“And what will happen when the King finds out that you are not his baby, but you ate up all the candy he bought for her and played with her toys?” the confused little girl stuck a finger into her mouth and looked blankly at grandma Genesis.

“He would cut you up and take out all the candy from your stomach.” The little girls covered her mouth with both her palms and wide eyes.

“NO!!! Grandmama, I don’t want to go with him” she hid her face in her grandma's chest as Grandma Genesis kept rocking her chair, back and forth.

“Uh-hmm… So, I would advise you to go to sleep, now” there was a hint of demand in her tone and baby Selena quickly scrambled down her granny’s lap and ran to her bed, with her curly hair bouncing all the way, syncing with her move. She hid under her fluffy blanket with rabbit print and peeped out to see her Grandma, settling beside her, and started to sing her favorite lullaby, YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE...

*******************YEARS LATER******************

“ Selena Brook” the lecturer called out,startling Selena from her book. Fair, olive skin lets the sun rays paint glowy highlights on her cheek and bring out the moon tattoo, just below her ears, even more. Her jet black hair with large curly locks tousled to one side and her round eye with light grey iris looked up from a pair of heavily fanned eyelashes.As the topper of her class,she would answer any questions with confidence. But it seems useless now.

“The Dean needs you!!!” Selena felt a sudden choke in her throat as her eyes widened. Quietly picking up her books, she walked out of her class, down the corridor towards Dean’s office. A shuffle behind her probed to turn her head. It was Jeffry, one of her best friends who is also studying Marine Biology with her.

“Why is he calling for you?” he asked through a breathy voice while clutching his knees in front of Selene. She pursed her lips,placing her hand on her waist

“Probably to ask me out on a dinner? Or maybe a marriage proposal? What do you think, dumbass?” she bites and walked away from him,mumbling under her breath. He managed to catch up to her, though.

“What you going to do, if you know…he had already found out?” Selena turned around to face him

“It’s Doc!!! I can manage him. You go back to class, I don’t want some more issue tagging me” she turned around with an attitude, before resuming to Dean’s office. Once there, she knocked on the door and entered once permitted

“Doc…You need me?”

“Yes, sit down. Can you explain how a full-size dolphin is missing from our center? The one that was under your personal care, to be precise” just as she feared. Selena fumbled with her finger, eyes on her lap as questions kept firing towards her.

“Or why the CCTV didn’t work for 1 hour? Or how the dolphin managed to open the underwater steel entry?” Doctor Peterson, the Dean of the most respected Marine Biology Research Centre and University, is now fuming red.

“Doc, I have no idea what you are talking about...” Selena finally spoke up, faking a puppy-eye but it triggered more irritation for the Dean. He slammed his palm on his desk, booming a loud thud through the extra-large office of his.

“Damn it, Selena!!! Don’t you try to fool me!!! Everyone knows that you have been prying to set them free for the last two weeks. That research center is the primary funding for your scholarship. How do you think their reputation looks in the eye of the public when they found out that someone blinded the CCTV and ‘KIDNAPPED’ those dolphins?”

“Exactly, Doc. That’s the point. Those dolphins have healed months ago but are still in captivity when they could be free out there. Why? Because for damn publicity. That’s not the whole point of the research center and that is not why I begged you to take me in” Selena suddenly sprang up from her seat, eyes darting directly at The Dean’s eye.

Finally, Dean gave in and sighed slowly

“Fine!!! Since there is no evidence, I am not going to take any severe action against you. But that doesn’t mean I’m letting you walk away free. You are going to cover Rocky, the chimp for the next week.” Selena was obviously disappointed at the punishment but she complied. Rocky is a baby chimpanzee who lost her mother at birth and always insists to be carried around.

“ You are going to graduate in another month and so far, you have excellent grades. If someone finds out about your continued mischiefs, it will be a black mark on your record and you may lose your scholarship as well. Don’t do that to your future, Selena!!! You may go now” sighed, Selena turned around and walked slowly towards the door. She opened the door when a low voice halt her steps.

“By the way, frogs in Matron’s lunch box?!?! Original” Dean looked up from his reading glass while Selena smiled without turning around and walked out.

She merely walked a few meters and meet Jeffry, Noah, and Oliver, fellow accomplices, leaned against a wall. They inquired with concern and she explained what happen. Soon, it was lunch and they meet up at the cafeteria when Jewel joined them. The five of them are a team, always stayed together in good and bad. Selena and Jeffry are the ones working in the university's Wild Life Research Center but they are often accompanied by the rest of them.

“Our final class is on Friday and we will be free for another 3 weeks before the graduation date. After that, Selena and Jeffry will be busy with their work and further research thingy. Why not we take these 3 weeks to live life a bit? There is an unexplored mountain about 3 hours travel from here– Mount Manuka. Shall we?” Jewel is always the perfectionist of the team, thinking and having things preplanned.

“Sure, I will ask my dad and also Matron for a few days off, then we will see how it goes” Selena agreed

********A FEW DAYS LATER*********

Selena just finished her classes and headed to the research center with a thousand and one step-by-step chores, repeating in her head but all that fall apart the minute she stepped into the center. Ria, one of her co-workers ran towards her, carrying a piece of dreaded news.

“Sahara gave birth to a crimpled cub. All the other tigers are attacking the cub and Sahara is fighting with all her strength but I don’t think she can last long. All the other keepers are terrified to go in. Selena, you have to do something.” They have reached the tiger’s cage by the time Ria ended her statement. Matron and a few other helpers were already there, throwing firecrackers into the cage every time a tiger approaches Sahara.

“Matron, Selena is here!!! She could resolve this” Ria marched next to Matron with a concerned filled face

“NO!!! Selena is a part-timer and these tigers are vicious. We can’t take risk and…” before Matron could go any further, the heavy latch on the cage clanked open behind them. Matron slammed her body against the tempered glass window as Selena slowly paced her foot into the cage. There were a total of 5 men eating tigers in the cage including Sahara and upon entering, Selena scanned each of their position. Sahara is exhausted and wounded that she might pass out any moment now. The cub is hidden underneath Sahara’s paws. It had a crimpled rear leg, from the look of it. The rest of the tigers is clearly in an attack mode. Her inner voice activated

'Calm down…calm down girl. These are just cats. Show them who is the Alpha. It’s all in the head, not the size of your physic. '

She straightened her back and lifted her chin to downgrade those animals. They seem to be a bit confused but held their position. Now, she slowly dropped her head and looked up at those cats in a glaring manner. Some of them started to soften up in the eye.

'Don’t do anything to save the cub until they are all locked up or else, they will get agitated and attack without hesitation. Remember, the cub is the cause of this whole bizatch.

With a little action plan, Selena took her own time, carefully studying each of these cats. Tiny shifts in their leg– the fierceness in their eyes– tiny flinch in their breathing– nothing misses her sharp eyesight. Matron knew the second best thing they could do now, besides shooting the cub is to remain as still as possible. When Selena was confident that she has weaved dominance into each of the beasts, she bounced her eyes to the floor and back to the tigers.

In her head, a single word rang loud and clear.

'Bow'

Immediately, one of those tigers plopped to the ground with their head over their paws but the other two remained reluctant. They tried to shake their head, to knock off the alpha aura around them. But the little girl is not backing up. Selena repeated her eye movement and command again

'You have no control over me. I– and only I– can control you. Nothing you do can shake me because I have all the ability to bring you down. Now, BOW'

Her confidence and adamant to tame them is her only weapon here– not that she ever needs anything else. The other two also bowed to the ground. Next, Selena’s mind motioned them to enter the tunnel leading out of this cage, to another artificial ground. Her light grey eyes pointed to the tunnel while exerting great power. That’s where they were supposed to be and this simple cage was for Sahara to give birth and recuperate. They obeyed and walked away slowly to the tunnel. Once the tunnel entrance was sealed, Selena released a breath of relief, kneeled down to Sahara, and patted her. She completely ignored the cub as the mother will be highly defensive at the moment. Selena patted until Sahara calmed down and removed her palms from the cub.

Oh my dear, what a beauty it was!!!. A bright orange cub with blackish-brown stripes all over his body and a single stripe running from its forehead through his eye. Selena’s eyes teared up as she picked up the cub and looked over at the glass window to Matron with a frowned eyebrow and a wide grin, portraiting genuine happiness.

“How did she do that?” one of the spectators murmured with a wide eye.

“That’s Selena” Matron said in a low but proud manner. Soon, medical attention was given to mother and cub and Selena started preparing for their trip in peace. To her oblivion, Jewel's harmless suggestion is about to wreak havoc in her life.

    The day they anticipated finally came and all five got ready to leave to Mount Manuka. It was a 3-hour drive from their home and by the time they arrived, it was already late for them to go up and come back, so they camped at the mountain foot, lit a bonfire, and sat talking until late at night. It was the ideal stress relief that the group needed. If only Selena could knock off the creeping sensation on her skin as if someone is staring at her. She constantly swiveled around, but she couldn’t figure out why she felt a gaze on her. She brushed it away as an illusion before settling down to sleep inside her camp.The confined, blue membranous space didn’t do any good too. She tossed and turned till 1 am in morning. That’s when it hit her. A mild perfume of vanilla that grew stronger and stronger by the minute. An addictive or rather aphrodisiac smell of vanilla mixed with orange. The stronger the smell, the more it stirred Selena's hormonal pool. Butterflies spring fro

    The boys were very friendly except for the black-haired one, called Zaden Black– suitable enough. He is leading the way, the furthest in front, constantly checking the surrounding. The one with a golden brown beard and man bun is Orion. The blond with blue eyes who looked way younger than the rest is Sitka. They engaged in conversation throughout the walk. Orion seem to pivot to Selena more, trying to get her involved but Selena was way too tired to give lengthy feedback. From the corner of her eye, she could see Zaden looking over his shoulder every now and then towards them or precisely, her. She swept the thought away with excuses such as she is too tired to imagine such a thing. After about 45 minutes, they arrived at their place which is a village in a valley, surrounded by hills, hidden from civilization. “THIS is your place” Selena stressed on ‘this’ more than necessary, turning everyone’s attention to her. She stood dumbfounded for a moment “It’s just that…. it’s so…. primi

    Her body felt light, floating in the midst. Chill air brushed against her skin, courtesy of humidity from the sparkling waterfall. The musty odor from moist earth lingered around her. Toes curled, she tried her best to avoid kicking into the soft bedding beneath her–swinging back and forth to her heart content. White chiffon dress, long flowing hair, and a heart-stealing smile on her face as she gazes at the waterfall. The same man stood behind her, pushing her swing. The same soft and soothing flute, interlude into swirling wind. It lasted for a long time. The swing stopped and a pair of hands sneaked from behind to cup her chin, lifting her head up. A soft lip planted a kiss on her forehead.“Mine…” Selena chuckled with the repeated word. She stood up from the swing, walked around to him, and laid her head on his chest–which felt normal by the way. As a reflex, he hugged her over her arms, fiddling with lumps of hair, curling around his fingers.“Are you going to say t

    Although it sounds silly, Selena was excited. She was eager to meet her dream boyfriend and maybe he would reveal more of himself tonight. But to her surprise, the dream begins with Selena being carried on his shoulder while she punched and kicked him with all her might.In a blink, he threw her onto a bed. The same black silk sheet glides against her skin whilst her hair flung overhead. In another blink, he is ripping off her panties, the last piece of clothing that she was wearing, making her completely naked. The next blink, his hand with bulging muscle was fighting Selena’s as he tied her to the bed. In another blink, her grey eyes dilated with terror, her mouth taped with a grey tape. He caressed her cheeks making her snap her head, repelling him. Her eye moved slowly from her side to in front of her, probably following his move. He snuggled between her thighs, licking her sensitive spot. Softly at first but then it took a wild turn, like an animal drinking wat

    “Why would you ask such a question?” Zaden asks his grandpa“She has the marking, see” he points at the moon tattoo on Selena's neck, earning laughter from all present– except for Selena, who put on a serious face.“Grandpa, anyone with money and guts can get a moon tattoo” Zaden sarcastically answers his grandpa“Son, I might be old, but I’m not stupid. True, anyone with money and guts can get a moon tattoo even in their butt but this is not a tattoo” he turns to face Selena “Is it, child?” everyone’s eyes focus on Selena. She drops her head and answers slowly, almost inaudible to the other people“No…” Zade raises his eyebrows at her denial.“Mind explaining, baby girl?” after a cheek-boring stare, he finally spoke.“It is a birthmark. My grandma told me they started as a dot and developed over the years. We had been to the doctors, but h

    Worry about her friends stormed inside her and she broke down into tears. A few members of the house were placed to guard her door. Even if there were no guards, Selena wouldn’t dare to leave this place without her friends and if it’s true that she is a werewolf, she might survive the escape attempt but her friends would be torn into pieces if something goes wrong. By the time Orion comes down, Selena’s friends are already locked up on the ground floor, in her old room.“What now? We can’t keep them like this forever” Orion asks Zaden. He rubbed his palm against the back of his neck in frustration and let out a low sigh.“Let her calm down a bit and I will talk to her. For now, let’s get done with dinner and arrange something for her friends to eat.” Zaden took a few steps away“She needs to eat too” Z

    “You are sleeping here? I won’t run aw–” her words got cut off“It’s my duty to keep you safe, and I’m tired. So stop talking, go to sleep.” He said as he tried to fall into sleep. Selena moved her mouth mockingly but she had one more doubt to be clarified. She moved swiftly to the chair opposite her and sat with a knee to her chest before scratching his arm. He snapped his face up to see the girl had moved closer to him“What?” his voice low and clipped.“Have you, you know, found your mate yet?” Selena is now biting her lower lip in excitement. He let out a low sigh and covered back his forehead“None of your business,” he said and she stuck out her tongue, irritated at him“I saw that” she stiffened up but in the next few minutes, she scratched him again“What if you find an ugly mate, with mishappen teeth, a small eye, or maybe a virgin?” Sele

    Zaden slowly stirred from his sleep, taking in scraps of light. Toasty would be the appropriate word in regards to half of his body. Velvety black hair underpinned her face with her back tucked comfortably between his arm and torso. Slender, pink flushed neck diffused into smoothly rounded shoulders. With a little effort, he could see her sharp nose and a part of her lips. Treachery eyes trailed beneath the forbidden alley. Every rise and fall– from her chest till her hip–excite his wolfy portion. She suddenly stirred, shuffled to her right, and pulled her legs up, recoiling into a fetal position while her face tilted up. His eyes widened on the pair of rosy lips, just a few centimeters away from his. Supple plumpness called for his thirst. Need to taste arise– one more time, just one more time. Debatable self-control

    Orion was greeted by a tight, crushing hug from Zaden once he stepped out of his four-wheel drive. He sure looks terrible with an undereye bag and an untrimmed beard. “How is she doing? Heard her contraction kicked in” Orion's first question is and always regards to Selena. Being next to Zaden and Selena doesn't hurt as much as it did before since he had marked her. If anything, his protectiveness of her increased noticeably. “Not good!!! I didn't expect this from Sitka” Zaden said with a sigh. “Sitka??? I'm talking about Selena!!!” Orion frowned in confusion. Has Zaden finally gone cuckoo? “You will understand soon. Come” Zaden guided him to the back of the red brick house. ... Orion, Selena's family, and friends left the next day after marking, and thank god, they did. Her pregnancy was a roller coaster and because only Zaden can handle her, he brings her along on every trip out of the mountain, drop

    8 months later... A white jeep cruised leisurely through dirt road, lined by thick forest on both sides. A few human workers and a heavy auger machine hustling at the starting point of the road. Orion's eye inspected the poles and wires lying in roles by the roadside. A lot has changed since the last time he had been to Mount Manuka. A bumpy ride towards the mountain valley is now smoother, thanks to Selena who had initiated the idea of clearing trees and making a leveled dirt road so that pack members could travel faster in and out of the mountain. It has also opened the gate to civilized development, beginning with electricity. Soon, telephone lines and the internet would also be installed. Selena's friend and her brother, Aaron greeted Orion at the entrance of the brick packhouse. This is the second time they have gathered at Mount Manuka. Orion came exactly 12 days after Selena had left him in charge of Samrat Kingdom, for their wedding, a day before the full m

    It took them two more days to part away from Orion and Samrat Kingdom. They discussed some basics like vacating the mansion and using it as a school while Orion wanted to stay in the cabin, as a remembrance of Selena and Zaden. They took this opportunity to explore the land, together with Makeala, Xavier, and Sitka. Selena specifically wanted to go to the sparkling river stream running in the midst of the kingdom which she saw the day she became alpha and insisted on getting into the waters and so, the rest followed her. Zaden stood shirtless behind her, embracing her waist gently just in case she slips. The rest weren't that far. Just a few feet away, and soon got into a battle of ‘Who can hold breath underwater the longest'. A war of splashing water followed and Orion quickly cruised to Selena, standing in front of her as she grabbed his arms, peeping over at the others. Orion felt a stab in between his chest as he gazed at Selena's innocent face. Zaden eyes were

    Ten alphas placed their right hand over their heart and bowed baring their neck. No words uttered but acceptance by heart of Selena as their new alpha. A surge of energy greater than last night radiated from her moon mark to her whole body. Her body heat rises and her skin tingles. Zaden was right. It is a power running through her veins, diluting into her blood– her Alpha Blood, almost intoxicating her; almost. Her body was emitting a silver sheen, like an ice sculpture out of its cold storage. Her soul slipped out of the body, tethering to every single wolf in every single part of the land, and the mansion. The 10 packs actually live on their own territory within the island. No wonder why this works when the nature of wolf is territorial. No territory, no alpha, but there are 10 alphas here. So, there is 10 territory and they work in parts to defend the island border. One pack doesn't interfere with another pack's border. Some territory practices their own e

    Selena slowly blinked her eyes open, softly moaning in soreness. Her whole body is aching. Last night was full of violence with hair grabbing, choking, slapping, biting, and screaming. Oddly, she manages to smile when she recalled last night, pulling her duvet up to her chin to cover up her girlish giggle. Bath time was a personal disclosure. She touched those love marks and a sudden prick of pain erupted, reminding her how and where she got the mark from. How he was hovering over her with sweat dripping from his chin and a slight frown to control his demon – His heaving breath between her thighs–how he cupped her neck gently when a war was going on the downhill– how he took advantage of her arching body by latching onto her breast– how his fingernails gently grazed her outer thighs as his lips devoured her neck, leaving behind a sweet bruise. She frowned when she felt a slip between her thighs. Not again!!! She sighed out and tried to finish her bath fast without giving spac

    In a simple cotton t-shirt and shorts, Selena is tucked under the duvet, leaning on Zaden's chest. He kept her as close to him as possible, trying not to break her backbone. His fingers run through her hair, carefully arranging them into a fan on the pillow beside them, lulling her to sleep but she doesn't seem to doze off. Eyes wide as an owl. He ran his fingers from her forehead, down her eyelids to her cheeks, shutting down her eyes.“Sleep...” he mumbled and she nodded gently– eyes closed. Zaden gazed spellbound at her calm face for around 5 minutes“Are you asleep?...” he whispered in a hushed tone and she shook her head ‘NO’. Zaden slapped her butt playfully, making her chuckle, and open her eyes.“Seriously, go to sleep...” it wasn't an hour later when Zaden was sure she is asleep and slipped out of her grip. He wasn't sleepy, so he intends to walk around. At the front porch of the cabin, Orion was sitting leisurely, sipping beers.“What are you doing? They don't do an

    After a long, hot scorching bath, Selena and Zaden were ready for the alphas meeting. They walked out of the room to find the whole cabin empty. They exchanged a surprised look at each other before heading to the mansion. Selena stood there, at the entry of the mansion, gazing up at the mighty building which she despise by now. The rest of the pack had joined them after a mind-link.“Welcome, Queen Selena...” Maximus with full enthusiasm at the door“Just Selena, please...” Selena smiled at him and walked hand in hand with Zaden. She needs him the most at the moment. After all, he has been doing this alpha thingy longer than she does. Maximus guided them upstairs and thank god, they didn't cross the dining hall. At the last step on the second floor, a double door with exquisite carving and gold paint intimidated Selena with its roof tall royalty. Maximus pushed open the door to reveal an extravagant hall. Row of windows lined the sides of the room, making it extremely b

    Selena woke up past lunchtime and Zaden wasn't there next to her. She staggered out of bed and dragged her feet into the living room. Rubbing her eyes, she blinked for clarity. Maximus was there, with Zaden. They broke their intense discussion once they saw Selena. She paced straight to them with a smile. Some take-out boxes on the coffee table triggered her tummy to growl involuntarily. Zaden guided her to sit on the couch before grabbing a box of fried rice, stuck a spoon into it and gave it to Selena. She took it with a smile, before offering lunch to Maximus and he refused politely. She dug into her box and soon got through it–a hungry wolf. “So, what's next in your plan?” Maximus asked Selena. His red, curly hair cast a hue of sun-kissed glow on his olive skin. His hazel eye is brimming with expectation at Selena. “What?” Selena panned her head to Zaden looking for clarification, who has now leaned back on the couch, arms stretched wide on the headrest. “He is referrin

    Calm bright morning, sky scattered with birds, cool weather and the greenery in front don't seem to cheer the lot. The whole Samrat Kingdom is solemn at the loss of a great man, Ozrain Samrat. His coffin is made out of rosewood and the top cover made out of glass is now filled with roses–a token of love from his loyal pack members. An ocean of black has flooded the Samrat's cemetery. His coffin lowered bit by bit into the pre-dug hole, making Selena sob even more into Zaden's chest as Zaden caressed the back of her head with his thumb, attempting to calm her down. In the short period she had known Ozrain, her grandfather had showered her with sincere love and respect. She intended to return them but fate had a different plan. Her hands are shaky and she is completely worn out from the continues crying, relying on Zaden's grip to prevent her from slipping limply to the ground.
