*Selena*

Underneath the silver glow of the moon, Zander and I stood at the entrance of the Moon Goddess Temple. He was willing to join me when I told him about my dream. However, he received an urgent message from his pack office and had to leave. However, he assured me to wait for him, promising that we would go together. And now, here we were. As we stepped inside, his hand holding mine, the temple's interior mirrored my dream.

The familiar architecture triggered memories of the vivid dream, each detail unfolding before my eyes. The air within the temple felt charged with anticipation as if the walls held secrets waiting to be unveiled.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows – the High Priestess.

"Selena and Alpha king! I was waiting for you," she announced, her voice resonating in the sacred space.

A surge of skepticism overcame me, and I confronted her with a challenging question. "How do you know that we were coming?"

The high priestess met my inquiry with a mysterious smi

    *Selena* "And look at this red crescent moon on her neck!" Mother exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the spot where my neck met my torso. I couldn't see what they were referring to, but the astonishment in their eyes made me realize this mark was something special. And I could feel the power and strength in me. Arena howled in joy and hopped a few steps. "Wow! It feels so amazing!" I couldn't help but whisper in my mind. "Do you like it?" Arena asked. "Yes!!" I admitted. "Then let's go for a run," she suggested. "I'm in," I agreed excitedly. "Wait, I will join you," I heard Lyon’s voice in my mind. He could mind-link with me. "Yes, Selena! Now we are able to talk to each other through this mind link," he said as Zander shifted swiftly. My big and gorgeous mate stood before me, the situation utterly mesmerizing. My body responded instinctively, a magnetic pull toward him surfacing. As if he could read my mind, he growled loudly before gesturing for us to start running into the wood

    *Selena*I stood there, blinking in disbelief after hearing my wolf speak.How... how was it possible?!Damon couldn't be my mate. He used to insist on this all the time, but I didn't want anyone else other than Zander. I truly loved him."Selena!" Damon whispered urgently, looking at me intently. Ignoring him, Zander stood by my side."What did you just say?" Zander looked shocked and hurt as his eyes bore into mine. We had just mated and marked each other, and now this revelation was something I couldn't help, as the feelings intensified with each second I looked into Damon's eyes."As I told you I have always known that you are my mate, Selena. But now you can also feel it. You belong to me, always and forever. Let's go home," Damon said, extending his hand towards me. Zander, however, slapped Damon's hand away.“She is my mate, my Luna, the mother of my son. She doesn't belong to you,” Zander snapped fiercely.“Whatever you say, Alpha King, won't change the fact that she is my ma

    *Damon*"Welcome home, Selena. This place finally feels complete now that you're here. My life was incomplete without you, and this place felt empty in your absence," I said as I stepped into the castle together, holding my beloved's hand. "Thank you for accepting me."I was overjoyed that she was finally here with me. Though the bright and lively Selena I first met seemed lost, I knew it was only a matter of time before she adjusted to this place and regained her spirit.I stood there silently, observing her as she looked around eagerly. Everyone who came for work greeted her and introduced themselves."What are you thinking, Selena?" I asked, stepping forward to take her in my arms, but she tried to pull away from my embrace. I could feel her hesitation.“What's wrong, honey?” I asked, frowning, though I knew what was wrong.“Damon, I need some time,” she whispered. “I just can't jump into a new relationship just because I found out you are my mate. I have been in…” she paused, look

    *Blair*Maddox slowly opened the door and glanced at the sleeping Austin. "Is he asleep?" he asked through the mind link. I nodded, my gaze fixed on Austin's innocent face.Maddox sighed and gestured for me to join him on the balcony. I followed his lead, stepping out into the cool night air as he gently slid the door open and closed it behind me."I can't believe Selena could do something like this," he said, voicing the thoughts that had been haunting us since her departure."It seems like something is off like we're missing some key points," I mumbled."That's true," he agreed. "Zander let Selena go too easily, and he didn't fight the Vampire as hard as he normally would. This isn't like him.""It was shocking for me too, considering Selena's strong attachment to her son. She's not heartless to leave him alone for a vampire," I mused aloud, contemplating the situation."They both seemed compelled to act, as if under some invisible force," Maddox muttered, lost in thought."It seem

  • The Alpha's Ex-Mate   Missing My Son And Mate

    *Selena*I lost track of time as the night slipped away into dawn, the rising sun casting its gentle glow into the room. Exhaustion weighed heavily upon me, not just physically but mentally, leaving me unaware of its toll until the morning light began to filter through the curtains. My first waking thoughts drifted to Austin and Zander, wondering how they were doing without me.Everything happened in a blink, and I couldn't find the time to think or react... I couldn't think or react on my own. What was happening to me, and why was it all so confusing? I didn't want to be here but I couldn't deny coming here. What the actual fuck was about it?"I feel the same as you do, Selena," Arena's voice whispered in my mind."Why do I feel the mate bond with Damon while still marked by Zander?" I groaned. "Ah... this is so confusing."As per normal norms, the mate bond with a fated mate faded if your chosen mate marked you. Rarely did werewolves accept a fated mate after bonding with a chosen m

  • The Alpha's Ex-Mate   Finding The Truth

    *Selena*Damon smirked as he strode toward me, his eyes locked onto mine as I furrowed my brow at his unexpected presence. Wasn't he supposed to be working? How did he appear here so suddenly? Glancing at Harper, understanding dawned on me. Perhaps she had sent him a message, and he had teleported himself here."So, it was all true. Arabella does exist," I concluded, turning to look at the picture once more. No one could find a difference between us. Even I couldn't distinguish. The picture looked very old, and the attire she had in that picture looked like it belonged to some ancient era. The art was a masterpiece, and I couldn't help but appreciate the artist in my mind. He had truly defined the beauty of the lady in the picture, and I found it even more beautiful than reality—or maybe she was more beautiful than me.But I still couldn't believe that it was true and that Arabella did exist. Because when Damon first told me about Arabella, I thought he was merely flirting with me, u

    *Zander*"Zander, I need to have a word with you," Maddox's voice echoed with concern as he stormed into my room, his footsteps echoing off the walls after I evaded our conversation in the pack's office."Not now, Maddox," I dismissed him with a sharp edge to my tone, my gaze fixed on the file before me."I'm not letting this slide, Zander. We have to talk," he insisted, his tone firm, unwavering.Huffing in frustration, I turned to face him, my jaw set with tension."You want to talk?!" I growled, my voice low and intense. "Fine, let's talk. What's on your mind?""Why did you allow Selena to go with that cunning Vampire King?" he questioned, his eyes burning with intensity."Isn't it obvious, Maddox?" I snapped, my frustration boiling over. "He's Selena's mate, and I have no right to hold her back.""No!" he bit out, his voice sharp with disagreement. "She's our Luna, and you're her mate first. You have every right to stop her, to fight for her," he countered, his words laced with co

    *Selena*I didn't have any plan or strategy, but I knew I needed to work it out before time slipped from my hands."I need to do it," I muttered to myself, feeling the weight of the situation bearing down on me."How are you going to do this?" Arena's voice cut through my thoughts, tinged with frustration.Suddenly, something clicked in my mind."I have a plan," I chimed in confidently."What plan?" she purred through the mind link, her curiosity piqued."His first love!" I exclaimed, the realization dawning on me. "I mean, his first mate, Arabella. He would have loved her more, and if he finds her back, he will definitely choose her over me and eventually reject me," I explained, the words tumbling out in a rush."I just need to find out about Arabella," I whispered, deep in thought. "And let him realize that I am not her. Maybe..." I trailed off, a sense of hope flickering within me. "Maybe I can bring her back.""But she died thousands of years ago," Arena countered.My wolf was ve

    “I’m not going to let this matter go, Selena,” Zander growled, his voice resonating with fury. “I don’t care if she’s your mother. She will answer for her actions.”Panic surged within me. Zander’s anger was palpable, and I knew my mother wouldn’t stand a chance to explain herself to him. She wouldn’t even try. If my suspicions were correct—if her reason for erasing my existence was to ensure harmony in the Lunar Realm—then she should have come to me, discussed it with me, not taken such drastic measures without my consent.“Zander,” I said softly, placing a hand on his chest in an attempt to soothe him. “I will talk to Mother first and find out her reasons. Let me understand her actions before you confront her.”His jaw tightened, his stormy gaze fixed on mine. “No, my mate,” he argued, his tone unyielding. “I will question the High Priestess myself. She altered our lives without permission, and she must face the consequences.”Oh, no. This could turn into a disaster if the two most

  • The Alpha's Ex-Mate   My Existence

    *Selena*Oh Goddess, it was breathtakingly beautiful. My mate had made love to me, and I was utterly lost in the waves of pleasure he brought me. As our mating reached its completion, my eyes widened in surprise. The mating mark on his neck began to illuminate, a soft glow that seemed to pulse with life. A sudden warmth spread across my back, and I realized my own mark was also gleaming.The marks that had once disappeared were now vividly reappearing, glowing with an ethereal light. The bond was reforming, pulling us together in a way that felt deeper, stronger, and more profound than ever.But before I could fully grasp the moment, Zander’s expression shifted. His face contorted in pain, and he closed his eyes tightly, a loud growl escaping his throat.“Zander?” I whispered, my voice trembling with fear as panic gripped my heart. When he opened his eyes again, they gleamed a bright, unnatural red. My breath hitched as I stared into them, realizing it wasn’t just Zander I was looking

  • The Alpha's Ex-Mate   Recollection

    Her chest heaved as her breathing quickened. Her flushed face and half-lidded eyes made her look utterly irresistible—the sexiest woman in the world. I couldn’t tear my gaze away from her, but the moment my tongue tasted her nectar, my eyes closed instinctively, savoring her essence.Her taste was divine, a sweetness unmatched by anything else. The intoxicating scent of her arousal ignited an even fiercer desire within me, making my head spin with lust. My cock throbbed painfully, the veins straining under the relentless pressure of my need for her.“Oh, my Goddess!” she cried as I sucked her swollen nub, swirling my tongue over it while sliding a finger into her tight, wet heat.“Fuck, Zander!” she moaned, her voice trembling with pleasure.I groaned deeply, the sound raw and primal. “Yes, baby, moan my name louder,” I urged, my voice a mix of command and adoration. “Let me hear how good I make you feel.”I flicked my teeth lightly over her clit as I thrust two more fingers into her

    *Zander*My beautiful mate lay before me, and I drank in the breathtaking sight of her to my heart’s content.“Are you just going to stare, or are you planning to touch me as well?” she teased, her voice carrying a playful hint of a whine.If only she knew how desperately I was aching to touch her, to claim her as mine once again. It nearly killed me to hold back, to stop myself from losing all control and giving in completely.“I’m just thinking about how I could forget the most beautiful period of my life,” I admitted with a remorseful sigh.“Ah!” she whimpered softly, her impatience evident. “Leave the thinking for later—just focus on me right now.”I couldn’t help but chuckle at my impatient mate. “Your wish is my command, my pregnant Luna,” I declared.Without hesitation, I grabbed the shirt I wore, tearing it open rather than bothering with the buttons, and discarded it carelessly. The way her eyes slid over my bare torso, growing darker with lust, only stoked the fire burning

  • The Alpha's Ex-Mate   My Eager Mate

    *Selena*After I felt better I insisted to the doctor that I wanted to go home. Blair and Austin stayed with me. Austin adamantly refused to leave without me. My sweet boy was so attached to me, and it melted my heart with love for him.Zander arrived a while later and took me home, but I still wasn’t speaking to him. How could he even think I’d been with another man? Blair had already informed me that the vampire king had been sent off respectfully, accompanied by Zander’s apologies.What concerned me more was whether Silas would stick to our plan or if his encounter with Zander might have changed his mind. I needed to contact him again—just not now.Right now, all I could focus on was the fire burning inside me. Goddess, I was overwhelmed with need. Knowing we were expecting another baby had only heightened my longing for my mate. It had been so long since we’d been truly intimate, and I couldn’t fathom how he’d managed to maintain such self-control.But I wasn’t strong enough—not w

    *Selena*“Mind your words, Mother. You’re talking about your Luna,” Zander growled, his tone laced with restrained fury. I wasn’t surprised. He could be a clueless alpha, blind to the truth of the pup I was carrying, but his love for me was unwavering. Even if he had forgotten our old love, I knew his heart still beat for me—I never doubted it.“She is not our Luna, Zander,” his mother snapped, her disdain sharp and unyielding. “She’s using you—climbing her way up to claim the position of Luna of the mightiest pack in the North and Queen of the werewolves. But in truth, she’s nothing more than a greedy, selfish bitch carrying a bastard.”I gasped, the words cutting through me like a blade. How could she curse her own grandchild—a life so innocent, still growing inside me?“You dare to call my child a bastard, Mother?!” Zander hissed, his voice trembling with rage. His eyes burned red, a clear sign that both he and Lyon were on the brink of losing control. Their fury filled the room, s

    “She has woken up, and you can see her now,” the doctor said. Without wasting a second, I darted toward the room, eager to see her.But Silas stopped me. “Wait, Alpha Zander. Ask her what I did to her, and then let me go,” he demanded, his tone firm but not hostile.I nodded curtly. “I’ll check on her health first,” I replied indifferently, my hand already on the door handle.Silas stepped closer, his voice tinged with irritation. “Listen, Alpha. I didn’t stay here to entertain your baseless accusations. I stayed because I wanted to clear my name and prove I had nothing to do with your Luna’s condition. Now, get this over with and let me leave in peace.”I took a deep breath, fighting back the swirl of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. The news of Selena’s pregnancy had left me shaken, and her health was my top priority. Lashing out at the Vampire King without proper cause would be reckless and could spark unnecessary conflict. I couldn’t afford that. Not now.“Alright, give me a

    *Zander*When I finally located my mate, the fear that had consumed me was instantly replaced by scorching anger. Every drop of blood in my body boiled as the sight before me ignited a fury I couldn’t suppress.Selena was in the arms of the Vampire King.“What the hell is going on?” I growled, my voice a deadly warning as I stormed forward, glaring daggers at the wicked vampire. I snatched Selena away from Silas Shadowborne and held her protectively in my embrace.She looked pale, her face glistening with sweat, a clear sign that something wasn’t right.“Selena,” I murmured, my voice softening with concern as I gently caressed her face. “What’s wrong, mate?”Her eyelids fluttered open briefly, her gaze meeting mine for a fleeting moment before they closed again, her body growing limp in my arms.“What have you done to her?” I thundered, my fury directed squarely at Silas. My voice echoed with the promise of war—if anything had happened to Selena, no force in existence would stop me fr

    *Zander*‘Maddox, set a high alert around the entire pack, especially near the lake and the forest,’ I commanded my Beta through the mindlink as I shifted into my wolf form, letting Lyon take over.We ran tirelessly for hours, scanning every inch of the pack's borders. The wind rushed past us, carrying no unfamiliar scent, no sign of intrusion. Frustration clawed at my chest as the search turned up empty. Not a trace of him.There was no word from Maddox either. Finally, I shifted back into my human form, panting heavily as I surveyed my surroundings. The woods stood silent, almost eerily so, as if mocking my efforts.‘Maddox, did you find anything?’ I asked as I mindlinked my Beta.‘No, Alpha,’ he replied promptly. ‘We haven't detected anything or anyone suspicious.’I frowned, wiping the sweat from my brow. ‘Did you check all the surveillance footage from the past three or four days?’‘Yes, Alpha. We’ve gone through everything thoroughly,’ Maddox assured me. Then, after a brief paus
