SELENE:

6 YEARS LATER:

Selene:

"Doctor Lena, it's time for you to go in." I heard from where I was seated and immediately rose to my feet. Zoey was with me, and so she held my hands, nodding her head and telling me that I was going to do great.

I took a deep breath in and out, then I began to walk into the hall room. As I got in, I met the ladies seated and waiting for my presence. A smile appeared on my face and then I walked towards them

"Good day ladies." I greeted before taking my seat.

"Doctor Lena, what a wonderful surprise it is to meet you." I chuckled a bit at their words and nodded my head. The room filled with strong and resilient and single mothers like me was a place I got to pour out my heart on what I had been through throughout the years after I was rejected.

They were here to hear my story, the story of how I had managed to become this successful.

After I was Rejected 6 years ago, I came to the crescent pack with my best friend Zoey, and that was where life began for me. It wasn't so easy, there were times I wanted to give up and tell myself that I was nothing, but I didn't. When my parents lost their lives to some wild animals in the forest where they worked as farmers, I thought it would be over for me. I was six months pregnant with my triplets when I had received the news, and for weeks, I couldn't bring myself out of my one room apartment which I shared with some ladies. Zoey wanted to offer me help so many times but I refused to take her help simply because I felt I had to do everything on my own. I even had to change my name to Lena so no one in my past would be able to recognize me.

I turned to the ladies so I could begin,

"You've come so far as a single mother, and a successful doctor, how did you manage to achieve all of that in the short span of six years?"

I chuckled aloud as one of the women spoke, but then I was going to answer her. Thinking about my past was sometimes so heartbreaking, but knowing that my story always gave life and hope to many women out there made me so happy and stronger. I had this feeling that there was more in stock for me.

"It's a really long story, but I'd like to start from after I was abandoned by my husband." I chuckled again as I suddenly recalled Leo. "It wasn't easy, believe me ladies, I wanted to end my life as well when I thought about where to go, who I could turn to, and the babies growing inside my womb. I had not even known they were three back then. I couldn't run to my parents because it would worry them so much, especially my mother, so I came to the crescent pack, hoping to start something there. I worked so hard, living in a one room apartment with five ladies who bullied me because of my size. Taking up to 6 menial jobs wasn't so easy especially because I was also carrying three babies. Once again, my world nearly came crashing when I heard my parents were attacked by some wild animals. At that moment, I became an orphan and life threw even more at me because I was fired from three of my jobs." I heaved deeply and wiped away the tears that brimmed my eyes, and then continued.

"I never once cursed the father of my childhood. What was I? A simple girl who had nothing to offer him. One thing I bore in mind was that I would never let him set eyes on my babies…. The children he abandoned and called bastards."

"That was so cruel." One of the ladies uttered, but I chuckled. If only they knew what I had to go through in the hands of Leo after he found his real mate, and found out that I was only a replica of her. What I had to pass through when I received a life threatening letter at the hospital telling me that if I stepped foot back into the pack, then that would be the last I would ever see of him because I would be dead. A message that sent fear crawling deep into my heart so I had to run for my life.

"It's life after all." Then I heaved deeply,

"With the help of my very good friend, I was able to return to school and further my education. I studied so hard, burning the midnight candles and everyday I had to look at my babies, I grew stronger. I told myself I wanted to give them the perfect life, one that they truly deserved with everything good. My babies gave me hope and made me realize that I was stronger….. and today…" I sniffled,

"Those three little devils are my everything. Because of them, I am where I am today, still fighting so hard to give them everything."

The ladies all began laughing and I joined them as well.

"What a touching story, Doctor Lena."

"You're such an amazing person doctor Lena." Another uttered, but their words just made me chuckle,

"Thank you all so much for coming today. It was such an honor to have you all here willing to listen to my story."

"We should be thanking you, doctor Lena, and your story is such a touching one." I rose to my feet, and picked up my bag getting ready to leave. As I got outside, I met Zoey still waiting for me. she rose up, rushed towards me and hugged me tight.

"I'm sure you did pretty good."

I nodded my head and we began to head towards the car. The drive home wasn't so silent because Zoey and I had a lot to gist about. As I halted the car, I couldn't wait to go in and see my precious babies.

"Mommy."

"Mommy"

"Mommy."

My kids all called my name in unison as they ran to me, and I hugged them tight. "I missed you all so much. Now tell me kids, what did you all do today at school?"

I stared at Karla, my daughter who had a gloomy look on her face, "what's wrong baby? Did something happen at school?"

"We were bullied again today mommy. Everything thinks daddy ran away, and didn't want us."

"Oh goodness." I said, holding my daughter so close to me. My boys were really strong, but Karla wasn't. She was just as softhearted as I was, and I knew she got that from me. I couldn't blame her either,

"Come on baby, don't ever believe whatever anyone says about your Daddy okay. What do I always tell you?"

"Daddy loves us so much." I heaved deeply and kissed her forehead even though I knew it was all a big lie. He abandoned them and called them bastards. "Let's go in."

As I got in with Zoey and the kids, I was stopped by one of the kids Nanny,

"What's wrong?"

"There's a letter for you ma'am."

I nodded my head and collected the letter, but immediately I saw the Moon Shadow Pack seal on the letter, my heart skipped a beat, and I immediately tucked the letter into my bag. "Zoey, take the kids upstairs, I'll be with you shortly." I said trying not to panic so my kids would suspect anything. Once they were gone, I took a seat on the two seater sofa, and brought out the letter. At first, I was reluctant to open the letter, but I did, and it read,

"Dear Doctor Lena Everhart, we hope this letter gets to you just in time. A great disease has befallen the pack, and so as a result, Your attention and expertise is urgently needed in the Moon Shadow pack, with great benefits to come along with it. Please write back as soon as you get this letter. Thank you, and we hope to see you soon."

With a burning rage fueling Inside of me, I folded the letter, and threw it into the dustbin, then I scoffed aloud,

Now he needs my help?

If there was one thing I was sure of, it was the fact that I would never offer any help to his pack, never!!

I go to the sitting room and see Zoey drinking a glass of whiskey, I walk to the kitchen to get my own glass and join her in the sitting room. I gulped down a glass of whiskey at a go.“hhhh….” I sighed.“What's wrong, anything the problem?” Zoey questioned. “hhhh…” I sighed again, contemplating whether or not to tell Zoey that I had received a letter from Alpha Leo of Moon Shadow pack requesting that my help is needed to help eradicate the disease that had befallen them.“I got a letter from Moon Shadow pack saying they need my help to find a cure to the disease that is affecting and killing them, I…” I didn't finish as Zoey cut me short“Wait, Moon Shadow pack?

    —Lena's POV— “He must be really desperate to offer me that much land and wealth.” I tell Zoey as I gulp down the remaining whiskey in my glass, the burn doesn't help or make my mind any clearer. “Yes he must be, I've never heard of an Alpha offering up this much to a stranger, because he doesn't know that it's you so he must be really desperate.” Zoey said. “Fuck! Why couldn't he just stay out of my life, I was doing so well, I had my job, I had my kids and after all these years Leo just had to come in again.” I said as I ran my hands through my hair. “You can say no Lena, you're not obligated to help him or that pack, they all turned their backs on you.” Zoey told me, I appreciated Zoey and I wished I was more like her, she saw the world in black and white and that was it, but that wasn't me, I knew they were some grey areas and I was a doctor, I swore to do no harm, so if I ignore Leo's request and not help the pack and more people die when I could've helpe

    —Alpha Leo's POV— I was walking around the pack, it looked so different, everywhere was so quiet. What a difference six months could make, usually tehte were kids outside, running around and getting into all sorts of trouble. Men and women milling about going about their day, all had a smile on their face. But ever since the sickness started, everyone keeps to themselves, they barely leave their houses unless it was necessary. The sickness hit the kids first, the healers at the pack didn't see it as anything at first, they thought it was just the flu and a case of fever but when the first child died and more kids were getting sick, we knew that it was serious. They did their best, I called in the best doctors but they couldn't even identify what the sickness was and more kids died and then it spread to the men and women. No one was safe, we don't know how it's spread or contacted because not everyone gets sick. Someone might come in contact with another sick person an

I read your letter and you have convinced me, I will help your pack.” “Fuck Yes!” I shouted, feeling a huge wave of relief spread through my body. “What is it? Is it good news?” Zeo asked me. “Yes, she has agreed to help us.” I tell him. “That's amazing news. What else did she say?” Zeo asked. “Let me continue reading, I didn't get that far.” I tell him and he nods his head. Now, I am not making any promises, I don't know what this disease is or if I'll be able to cure it but I promise you I'll do my best. Now because this is such short notice I won't be able to come immediately because I have obligations at work that I can't get out off, the soonest I can make it there is in three weeks, I know it seems like a lot but I would've have come sooner if it was possible. Plus those three weeks should be more than enough time for yo

I lock up my lab, leave the building, get into my car and drive home. I still have to pack for me and the kids, this disease, I don't know how bad it is and so I have no idea how long I'll be at the pack. I get home and I see Zoey's car is already there, which means the kids are back from school. I park my car and head into the house and a fee seconds later, I hear their little feets running down the stairs. “Mummy!” All three of them scream when they see me.

    —Lena's POV— We were packed up and kids were excited about the road trip, I decided to drive instead of taking a plane, the drive down is about six hours and between me and Zoey it shouldn't be a problem. The truth is that with a flight, we would've gotten there in two hours and then the drive down to the pack would've been about thirty minutes, but I wanted to postponey reunion with Leo for as long as possible. So the kids were buckled up in the back, Zoey took the passenger seat, I was going to drive for the first three hours and she would finish the journey. Zoey talked on the phone with Zeo, Leo's Beta, so they know to expect us, Zeo said that all my requirements have been met and our house is ready. My lab assistant would be joining us in two days, he still had some things to wrap up. “Are you ready kids?” I asked them, and I managed to even sound excited. “Yes!” Liam shouted. “Let's go!” Luke shouted as he pumped his fists in the air.

I look back into the car and see that the kids are still asleep, I have to get rid of Leo before they wake up, I know sooner rather than later he's going to see them but I'd like it to not be today. I take a deep breath, I look to Zoey and she nods her head at me and I walk towards Leo and Zeo while Zoey stays back so she can keep an eye on the kids. “Alpha Leo I presume?” I asked him even though I knew it was him. He looked so confused it was almost funny. “Selene? What are you doing here?” He asked as he stared at me, not even blinking. “I'm here to help, you asked for my help so here I am and my name is not Selene, it's Doctor Lena Everhart.” I tell him. “You? You're the doctor?” He asked. “Yes I am, now I appreciate the both of you coming here to welcome us but I've had a long journey and I just need to get some rest, we can talk after I'v

I mean Zeo, Freya and Zoey, we aren't related by blood but they are my family. After Luna Kate came clean about what she did, I thought I would be angry because what she did that night set of a chain of events that got us to where we are today. But that's also why I wasn't mad or anything like that, those events made me the woman that I am today, they gave me my children, so there's no way that I can be angry at that. My parents were the Avery's they raised me and they loved me and that wasn't going to change. I was a grown woman, I wasn't interested in having a relationship with a woman that was too scared to keep me and a father who didn't tolerate weakness and I didn't want that energy around my children. So after they told me rye truth, I thanked her because I could finally solve that unclosed mystery.

I know it's just been a couple of weeks, but to be honest, it feels like months have gone by and I haven't seen them. We step out of the air plane and say our goodbyes to Stefan the pilot. Zoey has been calling trying to find out how far out we are, I know it was hard for her to stay back while I was hurt. But she has no idea how much I appreciate her staying with the kids while I was recovering in Scotland. We get into the SUV and Zeo drives so fast, you'd think he was being chased. But I get it, he's been away from Zoey for close to a month, when you count in the time they spent looking for me and then the time I spent recovering. Phoebe has been asking questions about the kids and she can't wait to meet them. Richard promised me that he would find the girls that we saved good homes and the ones that needed reha

We said our goodbyes to Richard and Elijah's's other two friends, they decided to stay behind. Richard offered them jobs as part of a covert team. He offered Mark the job too, but he declined and I know that it was because of Pheobe. We left the house and everyone pilled ourselves into two SUV's that Richard had provided. In one car was me, Leo, Brie and Zeo and in the other car was Elijah, Freya and Vincent. Richard also provided us with drivers so that they would be able to bring the cars back. “I can't believe we're finally leaving.” I said out loud. “I can't believe that I'm finally going to see another part of the world.” Pheobe said and I turned to look at her, she was seated in the middle of me and Leo. “Have you been on a plane before Pheebs?” I ask her but I have a feeling what her answer will be. “No I haven't, I kn

Leo takes my hand and we both walk to the underground prison where Lex is, we get to the end of the hallway and Leo puts in his handprint and the door unlocks. “You're sure you're ready for this?” Leo asks me again. “Yea I am, open it.” I tell him and then he opens the door and we both walk in, the first thing I'm hit with is the smell, it's like decaying flesh. “Sorry about the smell, I cut of his hand the last time I was down here.” He tells me as he points to the spot on the floor where the hand is, I almost throw up but I hold myself back. I hear the sound of someone groaning the pain and I turn around and that's when I see him, Lex. The man that almost broke me and haunts me every night in my dreams. I barely recognise him, he only has his boxers on and his hair has grown out that its covering half of his face. His whole body has different shades of bruises all over and then his left hand now has a stump from where Leo ripped o

I turn over and face him. “Good morning baby.” I say to him and then I kiss him and before too long, the kiss turns heated and I can feel Leo getting hard so I pull back. “Are you sore baby?” He asks me. “Yeah a little.” I tell him. “Was I too rough with you?” He asks me. “Yes, but don't go beating yourself up about it, I loved every second of it.” I tell him. “Ok, come on let's go take a shower, if I stay in this bed with you, there's no stopping me from having my way with you.” He tells me. I take his outstretched hand and we both walk into the bathroom, the shower is big enough to contain the both of us and there would still be space. We enter the shower and while the water sprays the both of us, I grab Leo's cock. “Don'

We're leaving the hospital room, and today I finally get to meet all the men that risked their lives to save me when they knew nothing about me. I told Zeo and Leo that I didn't want them in the hospital, I didn't want them seeing me like that, they explained it to the guys and they understood. We take the elevator up to the apartment, it's my first time here, the elevator door opens and everyone shouts. “Surprise!” Everyone is there, Zeo, Phoebe, Freya, Vincent and then four men that I don't recognise. I step out of the elevator and hug Zeo, Pheobe and Freya, I hug all of them and then I turn to the first guy standing there. Zeo comes forward and makes the introductions. When he's done, I hug all four of them. “Thank you so much for all your

    Lena's POV. I held on to the handle bars and took my first step, it was small and shaky, it was like I was a baby, learning how to walk again. “That's good Selene, try again.” Zeo encourages me. I take another step with my left leg and it's stronger than the other one, I take a few more steps until my leg stops shaking altogether. “Ok Selene, how about you try walking without the bars, you just have a few more steps before you get to Leo.” Anna tells me. I take a few deep breaths, my eyes are on Leo the whole time. “You can do this mia cara.” He encourages me. I remove one hand first from the bars and then I remove my second hand, I stagger a little, but Zeo is there to catch me and hold me up. “Just tell me when you're ready and I'll let you go.” Zeo tells me. I look at Leo again and his presence there gives me the strength that I need. “I'm fine Zeo, you can let me go now.” I tell him and he removes his hands from my back. I tak

The doctor said that by next week you can start physical therapy and use your crutches and by the upper week, we can take you back home. We have to decide what we're going to do with him.” He tells me. “I don't care what you do to him.” I tell him and I mean it. “I know that you don't care and you probably don't want to see his face ever again but I don't think that's a good idea.” He tells me and I swear to the goddess if I was not bedridden, I would be strangling him right now. “Oh really, please enlighten me.” I tell him. “Don't be like that Lena.

Finally we separated and I shifted on hu bed and had her sit next to me. “Thank you so much Phoebe, if you weren't brave enough to go out for help and then stumbling on Leo, I would probably be dead.” I tell her and I mean it, if not for her, there was a high cahnce that I would've not been here right now. “It's fine Lena, you told me I had to be brave and I was.” She says with a smile on her face. “So how has it been living in a house full of boys, are they treating you well.” I ask her, from what Leo tells me, she's been sticking to only Mark since she came out and I'd like to know why. “Yea, they're all nice, especially Mark.” She says and I see a tinge of red in her cheeks.
