The rest of the lunch was relatively quiet. I noticed that Duncan was nowhere to be found. And Neo wasn’t bothered that he had to take up this urgent role to train the kids in place of the Alpha. He took it in stride. Ruth kept giving me sly looks when she thought I wasn’t looking. She was making me extremely uneasy as I wasn’t sure what was going on in that crazy head of hers.
I was relieved when Neo asked her to follow him back into the woods. Ruth seemed to want to follow. But even though she was coming along, at least I would be busy with training, so any further interaction would be minimal. I wondered if I could skip on the meal from tomorrow so that I wouldn’t have to sit with all of Ruth’s hostility directed at me. It was wearing at my appetite.
Walking into the clearing once again, I found that Duncan was already there. He was setting up a board and writing stuff on it. Various stretchable bands lay on the floor and the instructions on

Selena POV:I almost felt sorry for Ruth. Seeing her brought so low made it so, but thinking of the girl who had almost hurt two pups from the pack, I couldn’t bring myself to support her. Instead, I felt my stomach clench thinking that the joke was probably meant for me. The fire had just grown irritated and moved erratically, hurting others instead. What was wrong with this girl? Was she so consumed with the need for attention that she had to commit acts that could hurt other people? “Neo, take Ruth to the house. We will have a hearing about her conduct,” Duncan commanded, lightly pushing Ruth over to him. She didn’t give another excuse but willingly left with him, knowing she would be in for hell if she lingered around Duncan for a second longer. I turned away from the party, moving quickly towards where I knew Meredith still was. I needed to talk to her immediately about me being able to handle fire without any prior practic

Selena POV:Ed was the first to arrive, striding into the kitchen looking severe, but it was only because he was worried about me. He came over and looked me over, placing his hand on my shoulder for a reassuring pat. He told me that he heard a little of what happened during the lesson, but not the details.“When everyone gets here, I will retell it, but not until then,” I explained. “Okay,” he said, taking the seat beside Meredith and me. We stayed close to each other until the door opened once again. A group of voices could be heard coming from the entryway as the three of us made our way into the dining room. Duncan, Neo, and another man walked in at the opposite side of the room moments later. Duncan came in, talking in lowered voices with the older man. Neo seemed to notice me and came over quickly. “Are you okay? I was so preoccupied with what happened that I didn’t check in with you,” he said quietly.

Selena POV:Back at Meredith’s compound, Argon and Meredith walked farther in front of me as I trailed behind, thinking about what had happened. I found myself going into the house and to my room to change into normal clothing. I stank of sweat and soot and wanted to get out of it as soon as I could. When I came downstairs to the kitchen area, I heard voices coming from the greenhouse. It was a regular occurrence to find the door to it open. I peeked in, not wanting to intrude, and found Argon looking around the room in admiration. “Seeing the garden and now this… beautiful,” Argon said, his deep voice drifting in my direction. “She did this all by herself?” he asked after a while. “Yes, she did. The first time I saw her use her life magic. I had to use a lot of my power to contain it,” Meredith added.The more I heard these comments, the more curious I was to see what other witches could do.

Selena POV:“Alright, it’s time for Selena and me to go to the forest,” Meredith announced, walking us out of the house. “I am coming along. Are the plants being infected at a rapid rate?” Argon asked calmly as Meredith led us into a smaller forest path. As I stepped through the narrowing path and through the thorns. I could only gasp in horror to see all the rotting trees, fruits swarming with flies, and bushes withering away from the very entryway of our primary destination. Again, I was hit with the feeling that the energy in this place was polluted. I looked down and saw that the area was barricaded by a large magic circle. “Meredith, why are their two circles?” I asked. “The inner circle is the heart of the ritual, needed to prepare and repair. The outer circle is the containment circle. So that the rotting doesn’t spread and the things outside it are protected from being infected,&rdqu

Selena POV:“I noticed that I needed to concentrate on its energy more so than Earth,” I told him. “Yes, and to even turn away for a moment can be dangerous,” he said. “I want you to become acquainted properly with Fire today, maybe even hold it. But nothing else.”“Alright,” I said as I brought the lighter up into both of our lines of sight and flicked it on. A strong flame ignited immediately, casting a warm yellow glow. “Now, find its essence and focus,” he whispered. I did as he asked, first calming myself of all my nerves and worries. I looked into the heart of the flame. Within moments, I felt a connection. The flame started to dance happily in greeting, asking to bond with me. “Yes, I would like that very much,” I whispered lovingly to it as if talking to a small child who was asking me to come to play with it. I nervously raised my other hand slowly a

Selena POV:It had been a week since. Lessons with Argon and Meredith varied during that time. Some days, it involved circle casting and others involved working directly with the elements. I enjoyed my time spent with them. Meredith was my teacher and confidant in either new healing techniques or new plants, or even if I wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation. Argon, on the other hand, was the harsher one. The questions I found were too personal and embarrassing to ask Meredith, I would ask him. I found myself asking him what a mating of witches was like. If he had known any half-breeds who had gone through it. I personally didn’t think it would happen to me, not to mention that I didn’t want to think about who my possible mate would be. But Argon was calm and explained with clinical precision. He had a mate back home whom he missed dearly. And though he rarely gave details about her, the wistful look in his eye told me that a part of the reason why

Selena POV:Duncan followed my words and shifted into his human form. I guess I should have thought it through before asking him to do that because then, Duncan was naked. It usually wasn’t a big issue for shifters, but it was for me.“I… um…” I mumbled, trying my best to shift my eyes away from him, but he didn’t make any attempt to hide his naked body from me. He stood before me in all his glory. His thick member stood at attention, making it difficult for me to look anywhere else. “You ran,” he stated. I blinked a few times before looking up at his face. “I had to get out of there. I couldn’t. I can’t. You can’t choose me. You have to pick someone else.”I heard the low growl in his chest. He had no intention of picking anyone else. “I don’t like being told what I can and cannot do, Selena. Just like you. I have no plan to pick anyone else. You are the

I followed blindly, allowing him to pull the shirt over my head. I was blinded for a second before he yanked the fabric off and threw it to the other side of the room. I gasped as the air hit my bare torso. His eyes roamed over my body for the fraction of a second. “Your wish is my command, Selena,” he whispers as his hands find their way to my skin. He slides his hand up my stomach, cupping my breaths and rolling my nipple between his fingers. I bit my lip, not sure if it was okay to make a sound. Embarrassment shot through my body, coloring my cheeks. “Thank you,” he said suddenly before whispering so low that I couldn’t make out his words. He pushed me back into the huge bed and settled down next to me. This… this felt natural. I was pulled

She ran over to me and hugged me tightly, sobbing into my shoulder. I hugged her with as much intensity, needing a moment with her after passing through the destruction. I felt nothing but gratitude to the powers that had allowed me to live and see the people I love alive. With everything that could have gone wrong, it was truly a miracle. We pulled away but kept our arms around each other. Meredith’s face was a contradiction in expressions. It held tears of released fears but it also showed absolute love for me. “We were so worried,” she started and then stopped to swallow down some of her tears. “When the ritual was over and we had all survived, I knew you had succeeded but we couldn’t find you. We tried everything but you… I mean&helli

Duncan POV:In Meredith’s greenhouse, we all felt the abrupt shift in the air. It seemed to be gone as suddenly as it had arrived. I looked over at Lamont with a questioning look. He looked stunned as well. I walked over to him and watched as he processed what was happening. “Is it gone?” I asked. “Yes. They succeeded,” he said quietly. But he didn’t look pleased. I arched my brow, feeling anger rise in me at his reaction. He looked up and then shook his head. “There is a shift in the air, but I can’t pinpoint what is wrong.” He sighed. “Call the witches.”I moved out of the greenhouse and looked outside. I could sense the destruction this thing had created, but it was farther off than the pack than I had realized. I dialed Argon and Meredith’s phone, but it just wouldn’t connect. I was sure that the magic eater had destroyed the power lines and it wouldn&rsquo

Selena POV:We were surrounded by the darkness.I was shaking with helplessness. I felt its ice-like fingers moving towards me and I frantically moved away from it. Looking over to my right, I saw that it was Meredith’s hand I was holding. She wore the same expression on her face that was flowing through me. On the opposite side of her, Argon was holding on her other hand. We had found ourselves in a small opening in the forest, trying to regroup, only to fall into its trap. The trees and bushes around us were alive with unnatural and pure gloom, foreshadowing what was about to befall us. “Everyone, get into position!” Argon shouted. The noise from the forest was loud enough that normal conversation was impossible to hear. As I looked at the others taking their position, for a brief moment Duncan’s face floated into my head. My own fear changed into warmth. His face—his person—everything, had become something

Selena POV:Duncan’s cellphone rang just as we acknowledged what was happening. He answered it quickly, practically yelling into the receiver over the noise being created by the wind and water outside. The humans were terrified. “Yes. I know. We think so too,” he said, his eyes boring into mine. There was chaotic fear and absolute certainty. The lights above us flickered a few times and then went dead. The emergency lights flashed on almost immediately as we emerged out to the main area. A waiter was crying to calm a crying girl afraid of storms when she noticed us. “I am sure the lights will be back on momentarily,” she said quickly, but I could see she was physically shaking. Duncan was trying trying to move us out the doors, but I stalled him to take a good look at the humans. Absolute fear. These people would be caught in between powers they didn’t know about. What would help them?
The Alpha's Half-Breed Mate Chapter 76
Selena POV:Following the success of the new ritual, practice continued daily for the next week. The tension I had thought was snuffed out returned in another form. Instead of flaring emotions, it was restlessness that gripped me. The unspoken question of when the magic eater would come hovered over everyone. There was no certainty about when the magic eater would arrive, but we were expected to carry on with our lives as if it were business as usual. It was starting to become too much to handle and we were feeling the drain outside of normal ritual work. I found myself nodding off a few times during wolf training. Duncan was exhausted too. Each time I practiced, the ritual chipped away at me, but Duncan bore the brunt of the emotions. His heart felt heavy as he couldn’t shoulder the load with me or offer anything that my stubborn pride would allow. On top of that, we were both frustrated that there never seemed to be a time when we were truly al
The Alpha's Half-Breed Mate Chapter 75
Selena POV:I walked out of the bathroom after my hot bath and found Duncan fully dressed and looking at the journal next to him. Lamont had handed him the book before we left with a request to bring it with us to tomorrow’s practice. He was dozing off and when I approached him, he started awake. “Sorry,” he mumbled, sitting up and rubbing a hand across his eyes.I laughed at how boyish he looked and perched on the edge of the bed next to him to rub his neck. “With you running around all day and emotionally supporting me, you are more tired than me. I am surprised you are still awake.”He smiled sleepily and leaned towards me to rest his chin on my shoulder. I reached my other hand and massaged the top of his head, enjoying the feel of his soft hair and the gentle waves of contentment radiating from him, relaxing me in return. “Nice,” he sighed, setting more against me, drifting back to sleep. I g

Selena POV:The home phone rang as I was cleaning the dishes. Knowing that it was most likely Duncan trying to contact me, I hastily wiped my wet hands on a dishtowel and managed to answer it by the fourth ring. “Hello?”“Selena, Lamont needs us to head over to the greenhouse to go over the new ritual. Should I come to pick you up now?” Duncan asked, getting straight to the point. “Sure, that’s fine,” I told him, feelings tingles of stress and strangely enough, eagerness when he said the word ‘ritual.’“Great. I will be home shortly,” he said before quickly disconnecting the call. Did that mean we could use this new ritual? I had transcribed the segment and felt unsure about it. But it was still worth a try. .The greenhouse was alive with activity when Duncan and I walked through the back door. My eyes landed on Argon, who was helping Lamont lift a large pot

Duncan POV:As soon as we were back from wolf training, I practically dove in to get the witch notes out. I placed the package on the table and carefully unwrapped it to find an old, beat-up, leather-bound book nestled within it. A frayed red ribbon was stuck between the pages and I gently opened it to the section marked. A crude ink drawing of a circle took up one side while scribbles of what looked like notes were on the other. The only thing that I could read with ease was the top note in larger scrip that said: “Negating dark energy.”“What did you find?” Selena asked quietly, taking a seat beside me and leaning over for a better look at the contents. I pushed the books towards her so that we could share, hoping she might be able to decipher some of the faded writing on the pages. We were both quiet for a few minutes as we studied the content. Selena broke the quiet with a sharp intake of breath and sat back. Her emotions had changed
The Alpha's Half-Breed Mate Chapter 72
Selena POV:“Duncan, I know that you have more experience in being the leader of the pack, but I am not dumb. And I am not without knowledge of being a witch. My instincts have helped me a lot and I haven’t been wrong when I listened to them. I trust your instincts as the alpha and want to approach Meredith for help. I know you thought it was the right thing to do, but please trust me,” I whispered. He stopped the movement of his hands and remained quiet for another second. His emotions revolved around us, but none of them were anger. “I know you are not dumb. You are a talented witch and alpha female. I just forget sometimes that you are capable of so much more. All I want to do is protect you…” he said sincerely and then spoke softer. “…because you are mine.”He pulled me along him so that we were lying chest to chest, my face above his. A wave of sweetness rolled inside me, seeping into my pores as that
