Annie Jager07/08/2022 Had a pretty productive night last night. I am going to space the chapters out a bit, Tuesday and Thursday updates, which should also give me some time to write more, and, hopefully, will be able to resume daily updates in September. I am also going to try and wrap everything up by the end of September as well. Thank you for sticking it out thus far!

Austin POV ‘NO! YOU CAN’T! NO!’ ‘Nic, can’t what?’ ‘NO!’ ‘Nic, come on man what the f*ck?’ ‘You can’t, she won’t, we can’t win…’I look up at Clara and Sommer scared out of my mind. “I don’t know what the f*ck is going on. He’s

It can’t be Elaina’s father. There has to be another Gavyn Fischer. *Alex?*Apparently I got a little lost in my thoughts
Selene's Chosen Queen 82 Some Answers
Ashton POV “Let’s start with something easy, well hopefully easy… Do you know why you hate me?” Interesting question to start off with, but he’s probably got a reason for it, I have to believe that he has a reason for each question he is going to be asking or I might lose my sh*t. “You want me to go over that in front of your Alpha?” Gavyn tilts his head and sneers, which makes me inexplicably intrigued! “I have nothing to hide from Alpha Ashton. I am here for the simple fact that I still have a blood oath from Elaina through to Alaina. As does my son.” “You have a son?” “Yes, Gavyn, I have a son. Now please answer the question.” “I despise you because YOU are the reason Osain was k*lled. YOU are the reason my Elaina ended up with that Alpha Liam. YOU are the reason my Alaina was taken from me.” That’s interesting. It’s common practice for the she-wolf to switch packs, not mandatory
Selene's Chosen Queen 83 Folsom Prison Blues
Austin POVI don’t know how long I have been down here. The guards have tried to talk to me, h3ll I have been friends with most of them since I was a kid, but I just can’t. I did something unthinkable, absolutely heinous; I cannot believe that I attacked Clara… it doesn’t mater that it wasn’t ‘me’ per say I still did it. I was… AM… so weak that Nic has been able to take over at every turn. I can’t trust that I will be able to take back control from him at this point. I don’t know how he’s doing it either, which is probably the most disconcerting part, although I doubt that even if I did know that it would make any difference.I am half asleep when I hear the door open and feet shuffling down the long hallway. Barely crac.king my eyes open I notice that there is someone being placed in the cell across from me. I know well enough that there are more than enough cells for him to be no
Selene's Chosen Queen 84 There But Not
Ashton POV I am hesitant on telling Austin anything, but he’s still my beta and best friend. He can’t link anyone, no one can get in to talk to him, and I doubt Gavyn will be able to magically get through to anyone either, so I give him a little bit of information. As we suspected, the second Isla was mentioned, Nic tried to take over, but Austin was able to call out for help to get another wolfsbane drink. Then he was ok until Kushim was mentioned and that set him off even more. The amount of force, and power, needed to do that in Austin’s current state is… it shouldn’t be possible I doubt even Ty could pull that off. What has us really concerned is that the time between wolfsbane doses has been steadily decreasing. We started at an hour and a half, now we are at every half hour and we have even doubled the dosage. Well by we I mean Clara. All of a sudden Austin starts hyperventilating, and the shit show starts. &nbs
Selene's Chosen Queen 85 Breakdown
Alaina POVMy grandfather. I know so much has happened but I can’t get over it. Shock, that doesn’t describe how I felt when he attacked me while I was talking to Isla. I can’t get my mind to focus. One minute I am talking to this man that claims to be my grandfather, then I’m with Dr. Clara, then I’m holding Austin’s head in my lap, while he gets cuffs and a collar on. What happened after that… I can only explain it as demonic possession. ‘Oh, a little melodramatic there don’t you think Alaina?’ ‘Do you have any other explanation there Ty? Because I sure as hell don’t! Pretty sure YOU didn’t randomly take over and I KNOW that I don’t have all that in me!’
Selene's Chosen Queen 86 Let Her Go
Ashton POV ‘You need to hear this.’I get from Ty. ‘… FU.CK DO I HAVE TO DO ALL THIS SHIT? WHY AM I HAVING TO GO THROUGH SO MUCH BULL.SHIT? FOR WHAT? FOR A SICK PERVERSE GAME BETWEEN A PSYCHOPATH AND A GODDESS? I DIDN’T FUC.KING ASK FOR THIS SHIT, I DIDN’T FUC.KING ASK TO BE ‘THE CHOOOOOOOSEN ONE’.

Ash POV “I’m not sure that the use of the cameras, in the direction of where the actual tribe lives, is a good idea, what can we do to prevent that?” I ask Dan as the phone rings. “Hello?” “Ash, ‘ol buddy, ‘ol pal.” “Uhhh… yes?” “Shane, from Winslow pack in Dundurn.” “Oh, hey! I didn’t recognize your voice!” “I need to know when everyone is being sent to Tsuut'ina pack so I can get some produce and meat shipped over.” “OH!!! I still need to talk to the tribal chief, but I am working with my head of security to come up with a system that wont be overly invasive, and will be easily removed, before I call her.” “Ok, give me a call when you’ve figured that out and we will get a couple truck sent out there.” “Thanks Shane!” I barely hang up the phone before it rings again. “Hello?” “Ashton, I have been waiting f
Selene's Chosen Queen 113 Can't Focus
Ash POV “Well, I guess we have some work to get done.” Scott nods at me. I can see the repugnance on his face. I’m not sure if it’s with himself, me, or the situation in general, but I have a feeling our friendship will never be the same. My relationship with all of the Alphas will have changed by the end of this. I don’t know if we should take up the kingship after dad steps down. I don’t know if I should be an Alpha anymore. “I know what’s going through your head Ash,” Scott says as he places his hand on my shoulder. “We are still good. This is not your fault; you’ve just been dealt a REALLY shit.ty hand!” I nod, not fully believing him. I mean, yeah, the entire situation is completely, and totally, fu.cked up. It’s been reiterated, I don’t know how many times now but, no one could have predicted this. Even if everyone took the ‘bedtime story’ of Selene’s reincarnation as truth… no one could have thought that there would be someone this
Selene's Chosen Queen 112 The Alphas
Ash POV Within 25 hours of my call with dad we are all on Skype with the various Alphas, and royal families. There are a handful that had to do a phone call, due to fight issues, or their location not allowing them to get places fast enough, but the bulk of them have made it to this call. The Canadians have all amassed at Blue River, St. Bruno, as that was the best place for flights, with the exception of Scott and I, since that as.shole Kushim is currently in our vicinity and actively attacking. Scott did make his way down to my office, to try to eliminate the number of open windows in the chat as much as possible, but we both know he may need to leave in a rush. The pictures are small, but it will work. I notice that as each location speaks their picture lights up with a little ring around it. Well, that makes things a lot easier! “I have called you all to this meeting to talk about the rogue problem and the prophecy of a mad man.” I watch a closely and everyone see
Selene's Chosen Queen 111 Broken to Plans
Ash POV I make a slow walk back to the pack house, with Clara draped in my arms, holding her tight. By the time I get back to town she has no colour left in her face, as hard as I try to keep her head to my chest it flops around as I walkAs I pass by pack members I can hear the gasps, see them cover their mouths in shock, and hear the murmurs about what could have happened. The tears fall down my face, and I don’t even try to hide them. The time of being ‘the big tough Alpha’ is over. I can’t pretend like it didn’t happen, I can’t pretend like these things no longer affect me, the truth… the truth is that this is breaking me. It started out slowly, and I don’t even know when it got to this point, but, if I am being honest with myself, I am becoming a broken man. I will always do everything I can to protect Alaina, I will do everything I can to protect my pack… all of the packs… but I don’t know how much longer I can keep it together enough to do it effectively. I have made so many mi
Selene's Chosen Queen 110 The Confrontation
Ash POV Scott agreed to help call some of the Alphas, Cal and Alex have split a bunch amongst themselves and I got Yu and… Kendrick. I sit at my desk, head in my hands, wondering just how I am going to do this. After Alaina took Kendrick down at the Alpha meeting a few years ago I’m not sure he will be willing to help, at least not if its to help her, and Yu… I never did get a read on how he took Alaina yelling at him. I DO know that if they are in the same room together she will likely want to beat the ever-loving sh.it out of him. Fu.ck, having a strong minded, out spoken, and full of… having Alaina as a mate is definitely challenging at the moment! Not many Alphas appreciate Lunas being like Alaina. They want a quiet, subservient, Luna that has no real mind of her own. Alaina caused a lot of waves in Spain and I don’t think anyone has forgotten. ‘That being said… they do still want to be on the royal families good side!’ ‘Good point… I don’t know if t
Selene's Chosen Queen 109 Haoyu Yu
Ash POV Walking back into my office Alex, and Austin, are waiting, looking at a map sprawled out across my desk. “What’s going on?” Alex looks up at me, then back to the map, before pointing to the eastern border. “They came in from the East this time. Our patrols were able to get to them before they really got into the territory, but we weren’t expecting it.” “What’s with the one that was caught?” Alex gives a little chuckle, turning and, half sitting on my desk. “Yeah… ‘caught’” He air quotes, chortling a little harder, with Cal and Austin quickly joining him. I raise an eyebrow and look at each of them waiting for someone to explain. “She never shifted, the second she saw our warriors she kneeled, hands on top of her head, and didn’t move, or say anything, until after the fight was over. Whe-” “How was she not brought into the fight?” “She stayed back, a good thirty feet, whi

Ash POV I hold Alaina as she sleeps, and my mind wanders to her reaction to all of this. 'I don’t get it, why would she think we would be mad at her?' I can hear his pain, the same pain that I am feeling. 'I have no answer, man, no answer at all.' The door opens and the doctor sneaks in, giving me a slight nod before grabbing Alaina’s chart from the wall. He nods his head to the hallway, wanting to talk to me, but when I look at Alaina, seeing how peaceful she finally looks, I shake my head. He peers over my body to see her curled around me and nods in understanding. “I’m glad to see she’s finally sleeping, without medication.” I nod, in agreement, as he checks her vitals. “I have a question.” I say, trying to keep my chest from vibrating against her head. He nods, and places her chart back on the wall, before coming next to the bed. “She is beating herself up about losing the pups. Fuck she thought I would
Selene's Chosen Queen 107 He Will Leave
***TW Pregnancy loss and thoughts of self-harm. This one was hard for me to write, as I have had a miscarriage. That being said… Alaina’s side needs to be told. While everyone’s thoughts, and experiences, are different, in tumultuous times, I pulled on parts of my own thoughts, and experiences, for this.*** Alaina POV “I’m sorry Luna, we are limited on options…” “We need to make a decision…” “We don’t have much time…” “Do you want us to call Alpha lupin?...” “Luna?...” “Doctor she’s not responding…” There’s a light flashed in my eyes, I can feel hands on my shoulders, laying me down, pretty sure there’s an IV being placed. “Alaina, I’m so sorry, I called Ash and he’s on his way here.” I look up at him, and I can see the pity written across his face. “I understand how you feel Al-“ Bul.lshit he understands! I haven’t heard from Ty since the doctor gave us the news. That being said, I don’t know what either one of us would say to the other.
Selene's Chosen Queen 106 4 to None?
As the stapler flies apart my phone starts ringing again and Dan quickly glances at the number on the screen then tosses it to me. Looking I see the number for Wild Rose flit across the screen. “Scott?” “I’m sorry Ash, I need you to get out here like yesterday.” I start running out the door towards the garage. “What happened?” “Alaina had an ultrasound…” His pause stops my heart, and my feet. “SCOTT!” “I’m sorry Ash… it’s the pups.” I start running full tilt. “I don’t know much just that there is an issue and she might loose one… some… I don’t know.” “I’m going to run.” I say as I toss my phone and shift mid step. 'We never should have left her there! She should have been with us!' 'Arguing about it now isn’t going to change anything, but we both know that, with what we knew it was the safest place.' 'And now?'
