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

    —Alpha Leo's POV— Dear Alpha Leo. You are a very persistent man or a desperate one or maybe you're both. 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.

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

    Alpha Leo's POV. We lock the four other men in a room we found in the warehouse, turns out they're human and not wolves so we made sure to take away their guns. Lex is tied to a chair, with ropes and chains and we injected him with a heavy dose of wolfsbane so even when he wakes up, he'll be too weak to escape. “Are you ready to do this?” I asked Freya. “Yea, find out where the pages are it should be easy, I don't think I will dive that deep and even if I have to, it will be more painful for him than for me.” She says. She steps behind Lex and places both hands on his head, she closes her eyes and she starts chanting. “What do you think he was doing here?” I asked Zeo. “I have no idea, but whatever it was I have a strong feeling that it wasn't good.” He says. “What do you mean?” I asked him. “Well, this particular dock is known for being used for illegal activities, the cartel's and the mafia run their goods th

    Alpha Leo's POV. I look at the map to see where he is. “That's down by the docks, there's nothing there but warehouses.” I tell Freya. “Well, that's where he is now, the spell doesn't work like a GPS, if he leaves there, we are going to have to do another location spell again. So we need to get there now.” She tells us. “Alright then, lets go.” I tell her. “Wait, wait, wait, just wait.” Lena says as she holds up her hands. “You're about to walk into a situation that you know nothing about. What if he's not alone, what if he has his men with him, there's only three of you.” She tells us and she has a point. “I know that Lena, but we don't have a choice, more than half of the pack is sick and the ones that aren't, they won't leave their homes. We have to do this by ourselves. We'll be fine, I mean only Freya can take care of all of them with a flick of her wrist.” I tell her. “That is true.” Freya tells her. “Ok, but

    Alpha Leo's POV. Zeo texted that they were on their way back and that something was wrong with Freya but he didn't go into details. So I grabbed the map I needed and here I was, waiting for them at the front door. A few minutes later, I hear his truck pull up and I open the front door. Freya looks like she's seen a ghost as she leans on Zeo and he walks her into the house. I go to the kitchen and grab a bottle if water for her then I meet them back in the living room. “Here, drink this.” I tell her as I hand her the bottle. She opens it up and takes a few sips. “You feel better?” I ask her. “A little.” She says. I take a seat next to her. “What happened back there? Were you able to get the signature?” I asked her. “Yes, I was and that's the problem.” She says. “I don't understand, what do you mean?” I ask her. “The witch's signature that was left there is one I recognise, it's one that I'm very familiar with. It belongs to my aunt Dahlia.” She tells me

    Freya's POV. The pack is so quiet but Lena and Leo were right, it is beautiful. “So no one comes outside because of the disease?” I ask Zeo as he drives. “Yea, we don't know exactly how the disease spreads and why some people are sick and some aren't. So everyone just stays in. Every week, a truck delivers groceries and also another truck comes in to pick up the trash. They're humans so there's no chance of them getting infected.” He tells me. “That's really sad.” I tell him as I look out my window. “Yes it is and it's also hard to look at, this pack was so full of life and for it to be like this now, it's hard to watch.” He tells me. “What about you, did you have any family that was infected?” I ask him. “No, I lost my parents at a young age, they had my sister and I late in life, so they lived a full life. My sister is married, her husband is an Alpha of a pack back in Jersey. So thankfully she wasn't here when it hit.”

    Alpha Leo's POV. I left the dining room but I didn't leave the house, I went to the patio to tell the kids goodbye and when Zeo came over, I left and that's when I heard her, it's not like I was purposely listening in or anything like that. The house was quiet and voices carried, so I heard what she said, she loves me but she doesn't trust me. That might discourage some people but not me, I have a smile on my face and a spring in my step as I walk to my car. Here I thought that all feelings she had from me had been stripped away after I rejected her but I was wrong. She loves me now all I need to do is prove to her that she can trust me with her heart again. I get to the house and I park my car, the pack is so quiet that if not from the sounds coming from the birds you would think that it was a graveyard. I put off the lockdown mode and walk into the house. I packed breakfast in a Tupperware from Lena's house because I'm pretty sure I have nothing in my kitc

I meant what I said, I am going to win her back and it starts today, anytime that isn't spent looking for Lex, I'm dedicating that time to her. “Well, I'm going to check in on Elijah and find out if he had turned up anything. Then we'll need to head back to the house to get that map for Freya, plus I need to feed Scarlett.” I tell them. “You really put her down in the dungeon?” Zeo asks. “Yes and I also put the house in lockdown, she's not going anywhere.” I tell him. “I'm also going to need to go to the site where the spell was cast.” Freya says. “Why? If it's for the sludge that was running underneath the grounds, I already have a sample back at my lab.” I tell her. “No, it's not that. Usually when a witch or a warlock casts a spell, they leave their own signature behind. Not a little of witches can t

    Lena's POV. After Leo's declaration last night, he kisses me on my cheek and left the house. I didn't plan on saying anything back to him but even if I wanted to, I couldn't, his words shocked me that I couldn't even form any words if I tried. The truth of the matter is I'm tired of being angry, it takes up a whole lot of energy and if you ask me, I've forgiven him, I mean I was ready to be friends with him for the sake of the kids, but to get back together with him and have a relationship. I'm not sure that I can do that, I mean I still love him I won't deny that, the problem here is trust, do I trust him with my heart? And the answer to that question is no, I do not. I mean last time he shattered my heart so badly that it took me years to put back together and it was never really the same. I toss and turn in bed, sleep eluding me because of the different scenarios that I keep on playing in my head. The first one being, if I never came back here to find a cure h

I've sent it to Elijah so I'm sure he'll be able to turn up something.” I tell her. “There might be another way, I'm not sure about it but it might work.” Freya says. “What's that?” I asked her. “If you guys really are brothers, then you share the same blood. So I might be able to track him using your blood.” She says. “And it will work?” I ask. “I'm not a hundred percent sure but it should.” She tells me. “What do you need?” I ask her. “I need a map and your blood, that's it.” She tells me. “Ok, I think there's a map back at the house and if there isn't one there, we'll get one.” I tell her. “So what exactly is the plan when you find him?” Zeo asks. “I'm still working that out, but first priority is finding those pages so the girls can make a cure.” I tell h

Turns out she's been having an affair, but that wasn't the shocking news, what shocked us was the fact that the man in the video, the man Scarlett was sleeping with, Elijah couldn't find him, he wasn't on any database, he was a ghost. But he did have one distinct feature which was the birthmark that he had on his back, a birthmark that was the same as mine, in the same spot. A birthmark that is unique to my family line, it turns out that I have a brother.” I tell them and now all three of them look shocked. “Wait, wait a minute, so your wife is cheating on you with a brother that you knew nothing about, is that right?” Freya asks me. “That is correct.” I tell her. “This story is so good, I won't lie, but I'm confused.” Zoey tells me. “So was I, but everything will soon make sen
