“Let’s go out,” Argon said finally to the group, giving no apology for the private conversation, and turned towards the exit.
Lamont gave me a quick look that showed that he was displeased. Some of the others had the same expression but there was no malice behind theirs, more of perplexity.
Yes, I had made a mess.
Duncan wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. I placed my cheek against his chest, stiffening myself against letting his emotions, most likely expressing disappointment in my actions. I was disappointed in my actions. Could I not get anything right these days? Should I even be counted on to work with magic?
“Shit,” I whispered against Duncan’s jacket, fisting the material in my hands.
“Stop it. Stop thinking like that,” he said smoothly, gently rubbing his hand up and down my back.
“I messed it up again,” I muttered.

Selena POV:As we approached the others, I noticed that the smaller groups were now standing together. Duncan and Neo stood a few steps away from the rest, waiting for Meredith and me to join them. When Duncan took my hand in his, he leaned down to whisper in my ear, inquiring about my conversation with Meredith. I was too mortified to say anything as I felt like all eyes were watching me. I shook my head at him saying ‘later’ and left it at that.He ran a finger down the side of my face, through the blush that took residence the moment the words were out of his mouth. It was his silent way of saying he knew something was up and wasn’t going to let it drop. Damn this observant man. “Everyone, if I could have your attention, please!” Lamont raised his voice over the others. The circle of people quieted. All eyes were on Lamont, while Argon was on one side of him. “The majority of people needed for the protectio

Selena POV:I woke up to the shrill sound of the home phone ringing in the wee hours of the morning. The sun had not yet broken the horizon and seeing that Duncan’s phone remained cold on the bedside table, I knew I had to pick it up. He must have been exhausted after spending a day and a half with a half-catatonic me. He stirred as I scooted off the bed and I had to reassure him that I was okay and for him to rest before I made my way to the phone. When I pulled it to my ears, I felt a yawn overcome me. “Good morning, Selena. Come to the greenhouse for another lesson with me in Life element. We need to get you up to par.”I wasn’t surprised at the voice of Lamont on the other side. “Two sessions in a day?” I asked, just in case. “Practicing the ritual is different from a lesson in Life magic. You are so tired because you don’t have a good grasp of your element. Once you learn how t

Selena POV:“Sorry that I laughed,” she said, placing her palms on either side of my face when she saw my startled expression. “Lamont is high strung. He doesn’t like people who challenge his authority and he will live in someone else’s pack. The one he needs to teach is the alpha female. He doesn’t mean bad… mostly, but he can come across as overbearing. Neither of his parents really wanted him, so he tried very hard to be the best in whatever he was doing.Unfortunately, that overachieving tendency has spilled into the rest of his life, making him an unbearable ass. Don’t take it personally.” She paused. “As for feeling like you are failing… we all go through that. You have to calm yourself and keep trying. Center yourself and try again until you get it right.”“But… the pack…”“The pack is okay. Duncan has seen a lot worse during his father’s

Duncan POV:The month slipped into the next with little difference, except for the days becoming shorter and the leaves on the trees showing seasonal decay. The days were monotonous but tense. Every morning, Selena woke up for lessons, the two of us went to training for the pups, and then practiced with the ritual against the magic eater. It kept all of our schedules full. It sometimes felt like there was not a moment to breathe with the amount of work we had to accomplish between the two of us. Selena continued to work with Lamont and not everything went smoothly, but she seemed to take advice to her heart and kept trying until she excelled at every lesson. I could see she had gained some level of reluctant respect from Lamont for her perseverance. Eventually, they started to have more civil conversations rather than heated confrontations. Witches called on by Lamont started to come over on the weekends to participate in learning the ritual as they would be p

Selena POV:I trudged behind him obediently, the memory of the pain still fresh in my mind. In this state, I could sense Duncan better. One with my instincts, I felt the need to draw closer to him unintentionally.By then, the woods were quiet. I had felt distrustful of it since I heard of the magic eater. Most of the pack was sleeping and not many animals lived near our territory. I guess a pack of werewolves could be somewhat intimidating. It made you wonder what it could be in the woods that made a werewolf feel unsettled. How powerful would that be? I had run after him for about four or five miles when I saw Duncan stop in front of me. ‘Do you feel better?’ he asked me. I wiggled around, not knowing how to move. ‘I think so,’ I told him hesitantly. ‘I don’t think I am used to moving like this. It’s so odd,’ I admitted. He chuckled as he crouched. He was considerably bigger than me. So much bigg

Selena POV:The next morning, I woke up to find myself entwined with Duncan. Our limbs were a tangled mess. It was hard to tell where one of us began and the other ended. I was slowly learning that Duncan was a close contact sleeper. I was also learning that I liked it. A lot. When I was in his arms, I felt safe, protected, and at ease. “You’re awake,” Duncan said softly. I turned to see he was watching me. His eyes filled with softness. “We better get going. I have arranged the run to happen before breakfast and no one wants to keep a bunch of hungry wolves waiting.” My stomach clenched with panic. I didn’t think the run would take place as soon as I opened my eyes. “I, uh, I am not sure I want to go. I don’t feel so good this morning.” My lie was pitiful at best. I could have said I was tired but Duncan knew that was not the case. Even my injuries were healing surprisingly fast. “Selena,&rdq

Selena POV:A week had passed since then and practice was still as hard as always. Runs with the pack were invigorating and so much fun. I had gotten used to being protected and feeling cherished. It was one of the days as I cooked that Duncan ran into the house with a frown. “What’s wrong?” I asked immediately, feeling him watching me anxiously. I turned to look at him, putting the spatula down.He hesitated for a moment. “A couple of wolves have been checking out the parameter of the pack,” he said quietly. “They are not rogues, then. Why would wolves move away from their pack land and come to another one… in a group?” I asked slowly, to myself. “It might be the magic eater influencing everyone,” he said silently. “I just got the call. Do you want to check it out?” he asked. I thought about it for a moment. “I am cooking right now. Are they nearby?” I

Selena POV:I raised my hand to stop him from talking. “Firstly, pack members are treated a certain way and I wasn’t. Therefore, I have no ties to you. Secondly, you forced the young, unmated women in your pack to go into heat and hunted them down. That is against moral bounds. You also forced a half-breed who was not of age and tried to use her as a pleasure station.” I didn’t want to say it in front of Duncan, but I had to. “I am sure the council would be ready to hear my side of the story. Considering that I am mated to the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, I am automatically a member of this pack. You have no jurisdiction over me. If you wish to try me for killing that slimy beta of yours, you can ask the council and the witch coven. I would be happy to comply with any demands you have.”“Witch coven…” he whispered to himself. I felt Duncan curl his arm around my shoulder in a show of support. I didn’t

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.

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

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
The Alpha's Half-Breed Mate Chapter 73
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
