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
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
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
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
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
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
Once upon a time...In a distant land... There lived a beast who was the most powerful, merciless, and fierce of all, making him the king of the beast–King Samrat. His endless thirst for self-perfection made him the best as a leader, a philosophist, a healer, and a warrior. His way of thinking and ideas were
“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.

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. His final respect went on smooth, with no interruption. Orion wanted to throw A
