2024-10-29 19:42:56“Selene,” Alpha Liam greeted me with an enormous smile on his face that made Amy and Bella uncomfortable.
“Good Afternoon, Alpha,” they both greeted him, lowering their gazes as a sign of respect.
Amy had her hands clasped together in front of her in a tight grip to stop them from quivering while Bella didn’t raise her eyes even after Alpha Liam accepted their greetings with a gracious smile.
“To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” Alpha Liam asked, putting down his pen.
He must have been excited to see me since he was even taking time off work to give me an audience despite how I barged into his office without an appointment.
“Have you heard there are dissenters in the pack?” His playful smile fell from his lips.
“There are what?” He asked, tone harder than rocks and eyes terrifyingly red.
“Dissenters,” I said. “In this pack.”

LILY’S POV“B – but won’t all this affect him?” I asked Logan as he laid out the next step of our plan. “I want him back but will he ever give me a second look if he finds out that I’ve been doing all this against him? I kind of feel bad.”When Logan said he’d help me, I didn’t expect anything pretty. Selene was the enemy here so why did we have to attack Xander? If we continued to spread these kind of rumours, his position as Alpha of the pack would be in jeopardy. Besides, most of the things Logan was telling me to say about Xander were lies. Was that okay? I didn’t want to compromise who I was and ruin my mate’s life for selfish reasons.“Don’t forget he rejected you,” Logan snarled, losing patience with me. “If you can’t play dirty like Selene, don’t even think you can get with Xander.”The things Logan was asking me to do

Lily was no longer in Silver Moon but I heard she was now in Blood Moon. It confirmed my suspicion that she was in cahoots with Logan. The enforcers at the borders had confirmed they saw her around the border, close enough to our pack but not quite in it. She must be hoping to glimpse Xander who was currently inspecting some borders. It was as if she heard and thought she could run into him and perhaps plead her case. I couldn’t say what was going on in her mind and couldn’t concern myself too much with it as my attention was now on halting her next plans.Since Alpha Liam addressed the rumours, there had been a fast decline in how people talked trash about Xander. To improve his image, he was doing a lot more public work and it was putting a strain on him but he went on with it with a rock-hard face and pretended he wasn’t exhausted.The damages done by the rumours were inevitable. It was not as severe as Lily would wish but for the first time, some

These days, I barely saw my father so I knew that Alpha Liam was hard at work. He left at the crack of dawn and never returned earlier than midnight. A week later, when Alpha Liam and Xander were not telling me anything about the progress of the project, talking about not trying to worry me, I turned to my father.“Selly, why are you awake by this time?” My parents were surprised to see me come out of my room at well past midnight.“It’s so late at night,” My father said. “Go to sleep.”My always robust-looking father now looked like the life had been sucked out of him. He gave off a hawkish vibe with his hollow cheeks, thin face and dark circles around his eyes. Stress was etched into his furrowed brows and the very crevices of his skin. How could a man change so fast and so much? If he was not my father, I would think he was a man who had been sick for years.“You don’t look good,” I blurted as

LILY’S POVWhen Logan said that once Xander’s reputation was at stake, he was sure to be dissatisfied with Selene which would cause them to grow apart and ultimately break up, I didn’t know that it would work. I had hoped it would but I naturally had my doubts.For the past week, Logan had been doing things he didn’t tell me and even the atmosphere around his pack was tense. I didn’t know what was happening and no matter how often I asked, Logan only told me not to bother him so I let the matter be. It wasn’t my pack, after all.I tried to reach out to Xander to make sure he didn’t completely forget about me while we were apart but he rebuffed me.I was in the guest room of the pack house when my phone rang. It was one girl who had become my 'friend.’ I used the term ‘friend’ loosely because she didn’t really like me. She was just with me because she hated Selene. You know they say the enemy of your enemy is your friend and Sarah was just like that. She had no personality, no interest

“You can’t call me when you’re outdoors, Xan.” I had not known it but Xander was more attached to me than normal.“Selene, how long do we have to keep this up?” He asked over the phone, his tone tight with exhaustion. “She told me some irrelevant things, things I would know even without having to put up this rouse. Why are you doing this to me?”It had been three days since Xander and I ‘broke up’ and since we were broken up, we couldn’t risk anyone seeing us together so I didn’t go to see him and I forbade him from coming to see me. He was on the phone with me for several hours a day because he missed me but I warned him that we could not be on a call when he was out and someone could overhear our conversation. This was one thing he was having trouble complying with. It felt like I was roasting him from the inside.“If she doesn’t say anything useful by the weekend, we’ll drop the act,” I promised.His frustration made me frustrated. I hated feeling like I was being mean to him or th

“Selene!” Xander met me about to hop into my car.My heart sang as I heard his voice but when I turned to him, I was faced with a face etched with worry. From where he was, I could already hear the pounding of his heart as he ran to me.“Where are you going?” Worry put a strain on his voice as he closed my car with a harsh slam. “Ah, I was so scared.” He pulled me into his arms and hugged my head, breathing against my hair. With the position we were in, I was almost suffocated. I felt the hands wrapped around me quiver so there was nothing I could say. I just let him hold me, almost crushing me to pieces but his harsh breathing made me nervous.“Where are you going?” He asked for the second time as he let me go, holding me at arm’s length to inspect my face.I didn’t know what was happening but from his gestures, it was clear he wanted to see for himself that I was fine. As he examined my face and body, even going as far as to turn me around to examine me, the stress and fear drained

The air in the pack was tense the next day. Blood Moon had shown hostility to Silver Moon and now, a war was no longer brewing. It was about to be served. The atmosphere was thick with tension as people whispered under their breaths, waiting for what next was to happen. Even the young children who didn’t know anything were looking left and right as they walked with their parents, their underdeveloped senses already catching on to the disturbance in the atmosphere.“We should strike first,” I said to Alpha Liam. “Don’t let them bring the battle to Silver Moon. We will be losing too much.”I always wanted the battle to pass without bloodshed but it was clear that it was inevitable. Blood Moon had it out for us. The age-long wound between our packs had finally festered to the point where it could not be ignored anymore. The limb had to be cut off.“We should annex the pack,” Xander said. “We can’t continue to live with the threat of such a mediocre pack. Let’s wipe them out once and for

XANDER’S POVIt was clear that Blood Moon was planning an invasion so it made sense for us to attack first rather than let them come at us and destroy our home. On their land, they would have a greater advantage but on our land, we would be risking everything – our homes included. Selene thought it was best to fight a proxy war but now, all I wanted was to fight on Blood Moon land because I would soon call that land mine.How dare they.How dare they step out of line? How dare Logan target Selene? If I hadn’t been in the car with her that night, things may have escalated as he planned. How dare they look at her and think they could mess with her?

Alphas from all around the world filled the banquet hall making the atmosphere chockful of power. It was no wonder I hadn’t felt even the slightest bit of intimidation after entering this place that reeked of power. I was the Luna here. They were on my land. Grace puffed in satisfaction at that realization.“You did it.” Alpha Liam’s eyes shone with satisfaction as he stared at me. “I knew the goddess would not leave my son to be with an omega. She loves us too much for that.”Xander took a step to block his father’s gaze from me. It was subtle but it was also very obvious because one moment, I could see Alpha Liam’s gaze on me and in the next, I could only see Xander’s back. Alpha Liam laughed at that gesture.“There is the possessiveness of an Alpha,” he said. “Ah, but to think your father would covet your mate. That’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?”“Stop looking at her,” Xander growled back.I couldn’t see Alpha Liam thanks to Xander blocking me but I could see his hands as he raise

Even before I opened my eyes, I knew he was staring at me. I could feel his gaze on my face and as my eyes twitched, I wanted to continue to pretend to be asleep.I did it. I opened my mouth and said all the things that had weighed me down. Rather than feeling relieved, I felt guilty. Who would have known that my story would make Xander cry?I thought he’d not believe me, and was even prepared to brush everything off as a joke. What I had not been prepared for was for him to hold me, crying and apologizing. The past was the past and in a sense, didn’t happen. Why did he have to feel so guilty that he’d executed a traitor and gotten with his destined mate?‘That’s why you didn’t want anything to do with me. You were so scared and you were carrying it all alone. You were so scared of the monster that took your life but I didn’t let you be even when you told me to. Even when Lily showed up, you must have been in pain. Y

Something dangerous was bound to happen when meeting up with the bitter ex-mate. I didn’t come here unprepared and wasn’t even surprised when she pulled a gun on me – no, actually, I was a bit surprised. I had expected her to pull a knife or to start attacking me with her fists. I hadn’t really thought a girl like Lily had it in her to pull out a gun and threaten to shoot me.“You should have left him for me.” Her hands were shaking as she held the gun. “You should have had the decency to leave him for me. If you thought of me as a friend for even a second, you should never have been with him. You always looked down on me, didn’t you? You thought I wasn’t good enough but neither are you!” She was shouting, her hands vibrating.I watched her for the right time to disarm her. I wasn’t even sure she knew how to use that gun and I wasn’t about to wait to find out. This bitch wasn’t allowed

“Do you no longer want my son?” Alpha Liam asked and I could only gawk at him.“What do you mean?”“I know how long he thirsted for you while we were at war. I had expected that the first thing he would do when we got back was to mark you but there’s no mark and I know it’s not because he doesn’t want to.”“You can’t just go around asking questions like that,” I said, red in the face. “And aren’t you too invested in his – his extracurricular life?”“I’m only after the future of this pack and I’m looking forward to having grandchildren as well.”“A – Alpha Liam!” I screamed in horror. “You can’t – you can’t say that to a nineteen-year-old!”“Is that so?” He looked flabbergasted. “I said something wrong?”“Xander and I are young!

“Hey.”I dropped my bag and flew into Xander’s arms. He chuckled as he caught me, twirling me in the air.“I missed you too.” He muttered against my neck as I clung to him.“Are we invisible or what?” I heard Ethan’s voice from behind him.I raised my head and saw Ethan and my father standing behind Xander. I hadn’t even seen them. My attention had been entirely on Xander alone. Seeing him before me after so long, I just wanted to bask in his scent. I wanted the world to fade away and leave just the two of us. I’d missed him more than words could express but I’d also missed my brother and father.I got down from Xander’s body with a little difficulty as he held on to me, unwilling to let me go. When he finally left me, I rushed to my brother and father, pulling them into a hug. My father trembled as he held me. I held back tears.These were the longest months of my life. Even when I lost my memories and forgot myself, even when I first opened my eyes as Selene after being Jane, even w

“Selene, what are you doing here? No, why do you look like that? Is that blood on your face!?” My mother was almost hysterical when she saw me.Her hands wiped blood from my face. Panic reflected in her gaze and it shook her hands.“When did you return? How did you – what happened?”As she bombarded me with questions, I had no chance to explain what had happened before she broke down in tears, hugging me to herself. My mother was not one to be emotional but the stress and tension from all this must have gotten to her. She cried as she held me.The other women she had been leisurely chatting with came to comfort her, one of them patting my back. It took a while before she let me go and allowed me to explain what had happened.Warriors were sent to the house and my mother started to cry again. It was one of her friends that explained the situation to me.“She left the house a few days ago,” the woman said. “We received threats from the Blood Moon pack and they seemed to be aimed at her

It had become my habit to pace my room. Every time I felt nervous, I paced and I was nervous a lot. The information I got was that everything was going well. There were a lot of casualties but the Blood Moon pack suffered the worst hit. It had been a month already and despite my protests, I had no choice but to return to school. I had only seen Xander a couple of times before resumption but now that I was so far away, I never saw him.Even the college atmosphere was tense. With a lot of wolves from Silver Moon and Blood Moon here, there was a certain tension in the air. Outbursts here and there, people giving backhanded comments to strangers just because they figured out they were from rival packs. No one told me but either Xander or my father had assigned bodyguards to me. They followed me at a distance every day and even Seth had noticed.I was currently pacing my little dorm room which now felt wide without Xander in it. We had scheduled calls that helped reassure me that everythin
