~ SELENA“Get the car ready Thompson, let me get her ready,” Drogo said as he held his chin, strapping the gun back into his pocket.“You want to kill me, kill me now, and let’s get this all done with,” I yelled but he only stood there, studying me, and then, he smirked a bit.“Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like I’m the one to kill you anyway. I’m just the messenger, why don’t you just relax?”I stood frozen in disbelief as Drogo was there, standing before me with a dark and evil smirk playing on his lips, as he rolled his palms against one another as though wanting to do something sinister to me. My mind raced, trying to comprehend the situation. What was he after? What did he want? I watched him pull out the gun, as he flashed it before me. He folded his arms in his pits while holding firm to the gun “Like what you see?” He asked as he laughed at me without end."What do you want?" I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper, though the fear coursing through m
SERENAJared moved swiftly and sent a kick to the face of Drogo. The kick connecting perfectly sent him on his back. Not giving him breathing space, he proceeded with the right combination of punches, and also using his right hand, he stabbed him multiple times over with the silver dagger. Drogo, not willing to pack down, threw his weight on Jared, punching him in the face, once, twice, and up to seven times in a row. For a moment, I thought he had offed Jared, as Jared lay lifeless on the ground. Drogo made his way to me, trying to pull my neck, but as though the moon goddess had my prayers, Jared silently got up and walked toward Drogo, sending the silver dagger finely into his shoulder. He punched him on the jaw, then sent another punch to his cheeks, and finally, he kicked the dagger further down into his shoulder. Drogo fell there, bleeding, but his hands seemed to move.“Get up!” Jared said as he stretched his hand out again to help me. There was no time to ask questions; I di
~ SELENAI was pleased to see him. And question after question welled up in my mind, what was the reason Killian left me all by myself? Was he tired of me, or was I a burden to him?These thoughts kept crawling through my head as I was scared and afraid of being left all by myself. The trauma of seeing Clara shot in the head and almost getting killed too gave me sleepless nights. It kept replaying in my head, all of that kept giving me nightmares, and I didn't know what to do.I turned to the bed and saw Killian sleeping, he seemed peaceful in his sleep. Happy as I was to see him happy beside me, but I was going through a lot inside of me. Who would want to have me dead, could it be Katrina? Or who would it be, it seemed like I couldn't place a tag on what would become of my unborn babies. Killian had told me the circumstances that brought us together, but they didn't seem to end. Was I a cursed wolf or was I destined for trouble, maybe it was part of me all along.I decided that I w
~ SELENA Maybe he could take me seriously and train me. I wasn't sure Killian would let me train let alone get involved in a fight, he was too overprotective of me and that could make me an extra target if words went out to his enemies. You know, every Alpha had enemies and I wouldn't want to get caught in the web of an attack this way.I trained on my own for about four hours as I watched Jared train. I learned a lot in practicing his every move and it also was a form of exercise for me. My body felt good for this. The way I felt made me happy. It was refreshing.“I see you are training yourself and you're enjoying it. You seem to have never had fight training before, right?” Jared asked me.I searched my mind quickly and then gave him an answer, “Yes I've never had training before.” I responded.One good thing I noticed with the training was it brought flashes of something that felt like my past to me. I could see images of a trampled girl. She was constantly beaten with all ki
~ NADIAMy eyes welcomed the darkness as though it was part of my life now. Frankly speaking, it was just that I could still see the daylight but a bigger part of everything my eyes saw was darkness.I heard a creaking sound as I moved inside the closet I had hidden myself in. I adjusted myself again and then buried my head inside my thighs.I had shifted a little when I thought I heard something move but now I was back to it.Folded that way, hugging my knees, I had been crying for almost an hour.Bree had left, despite my pleas, and rolled on the floor. I saw Liam come out of the Hunter's room and when I asked him what the Hunter had said concerning my proposal, he patted me on the back and asked me to be strong. It would only be for a while."Hunter is just a little worked up." He said, "It'll come to an end soon. Just give him some time. You can do this."After about an hour of useless tears and even hiccups from the crying, I finally managed to carry myself back to my room. I cr
Jared's POV.I felt a cold frenzy as I strode with Alpha Killian, tension coiling like a tightly wound spring. We had been discussing the woman I wanted to be my mate when Killian's phone rang, shattering the jovial spirit of the moment. His reaction was immediate; he reached for the device with a sense of urgency that sent alarm bells ringing in my mind.Without explanation, Killian bolted from the room, leaving me and the rest of his guards staring after him in shock. “What was that?” I looked to the guards behind me for an explanation; maybe they knew something I didn't, but when they shook their heads, I figured we were all surprised.My instincts screamed at me to follow, to uncover the source of his distress, and I wasted no time in giving chase.As I made my way through the corridors and hallways, trying to catch up with Killian, I discovered that he wasn't there. My eyes were drowsy. I was tired, but that didn't stop me from finding him. I felt something bad was about to ha
SELENAI couldn’t believe the speed at which I saw Killian run into the room. I lay on Alpha Killian's bed, dressed in nothing but bum shorts and a sports bra. I couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation coursing through my veins. It was a risk to wear such attire in my condition, but I was willing to endure the discomfort if it meant impressing Killian, who was gradually capturing my heart. I had spent the day alone and thinking about him.And so, as I waited for him to return, my mind buzzed with a heady mix of excitement and nervousness, my heart racing in anticipation of his reaction. I wanted to surprise him, to see the look of desire and admiration in his eyes when he saw me, to know that I had succeeded in capturing his attention as he had captured mine.And then, suddenly, he was there, bursting through the door with a look of shock etched upon his features. I watched as his expression shifted from disbelief to confusion to a look that was in tune with surprise. His e
~ NADIAI was distraught with the treatment I had received from him. My trip back home was a somber one, the weight of Alpha Hunter's words lingering in the air like a heavy fog.He was meant to say those words to some other girl because he had a woman like me in his life, not telling me to leave and calling it good news. How would I handle this child alone? He simply didn't want us in his life but was willing to be a father from a distance. What a pathetic offering.I was hurt. I was so hurt that I had nothing else to say as I could only sit still while they returned me to my home.Bound and escorted by his men, I was frozen, a sense of betrayal and resentment festered within me. We hit a bump near my house and then I was jolted back to reality.“We're here.” They announced. As soon as we reached the familiar confines of my home, their bindings fell away, releasing me from their grasp.“Thank you so much." I managed to say, not even realizing what I was thanking them for. With even
