~Selene~ “This is where most meetings take place, the doors are always open except for when the meetings occur, at those times these doors stay closed and locked and nobody enters,” “What happens if they do enter?” Vanessa stopped and turned to me, her face was serious, and not a muscle moved. “Nobody ever does. There aren't a lot of rules to follow in the palace but those that we have, are there for a reason, and breaking them intentionally will have severe consequences.” I gulped, she spoke as though these rules were law, and breaking them could get you killed. Nevertheless, I needed to know. "Consequences such as?" "There's only one, you get banished from the pack." Another gulp. Getting kicked out from your pack was barely heard of and it was a punishment that sent shivers down the spine of any werewolf. No wolf wanted to live their life as a rogue which was why they stayed even if they were miserable. Because they knew they were safe from any life-threatening harm. I no
~Selene~ I was sitting in my room, my feet were moving uncontrollably and I was biting my nails. Meredith said that she and the king had some business in town and then they were visiting the schools. They asked me if I wanted to join but I was drained from everything that had already happened. I had met so many people, and It hadn't even been a fraction of the members of this pack. So many places to see and remember and then there were these moments where I felt like I was being watched. I kept looking over my shoulder as I and Meredith walked through the castle but then when she noticed and asked what was wrong, I stopped and pushed the feeling away. I didn’t want to be the freaky new girl they brought back. I was terrified of how everyone would react to me being here. So far everyone had been really gracious and kind but how long would that last? What would happen when they got to know me and realize that I'm not princess material. How would the younger people react, those who w
I was back in the castle, sitting in my room and wondering what I could do that wouldn't entail meeting any more people. After Samuel's friend had shown up, they both left to go meet up with a few others at the local coffee shop in town. Samuel asked if I wanted to join but I declined, I needed to breathe and let everything sink in. So I was sitting on the chair by the desk in my room, stroking my fingers over the white-colored wooden desk. I pulled open a drawer and found it was stocked with notebooks. I pulled one out and flipped it open but every page was clear. They were all new. I grabbed a pen and placed the tip on the paper, slowly my mind was beginning to work through everything that had happened and my thoughts became words that painted the page. It was freeing, having everything written down, it was how I processed things. It was my way of keeping a clear head. I wrote page after page, starting from Percy and what we had done the days before I left. The winter Jule.
Walking back to the castle I saw someone running towards me in the garden. ”Hey, princess!” It was Vanessa. I hated that they said princess, I had a name, was it that bad to say it? ”Hi,” I said as she stopped in front of me to catch her breath. ”Do you have plans for Saturday?” She asked me. I shook my head. ”No, none that I know of,” I said. ”Me, Sam, Dave whom I heard you met, and a few others are going into town to a club, I want you to come,” She said with a bright smile. ”Oh,” No, I did not want that. No, just say no, Selene, I told myself. Vanessa's eyes were sparkling, her smile never faded and she was pressing her shoulders up to her ears in anticipation of my answer. ”Uhm,” ”Please, it’ll be fun, we’ll be a group of five or six, we’ll dance, drink, there will cute boys,” she said and dragged out that last offer. I knew that if I was gonna stay here, I needed to make some friends and meet people but I didn't think a club was the way to do it. ”I’ll think
I couldn't tell where the dreams ended and reality began. If it were a dream, or a hallucination, in which case I was going certifiably insane. To think what the queen had brought home, a daughter without a wolf but instead, she had vivid interactions with the prince…her brother. Or whatever he was to me- I actually had no idea. Nobody really talked about Samuel as my brother, it was sort of a hushed conversational topic. The room was bright from the lamp in the ceiling. The curtains were drawn so the sun wasn’t streaming in through the windows but when I turned and looked at my clock, I realized they wouldn't either way. It was three o'clock in the middle of the night. I drew in a deep breath, filling my lungs with oxygen until I couldn’t. Then I blew out, every little ounce I had come out in that breath. Repeat. I dragged my hands over my face and my lip followed down as my hands went to my chin. I groaned and rolled over, I knew full well that I wouldn't get any sleep tonight
I wrapped a towel around my body and noticed my fingers were similar to crumbled raisins. I opened the door and saw Meredith standing there with disheveled hair and a glare that could kill. ”You nearly gave me a heart attack, I thought you had passed out and slammed your head or something,” she said and fixed her dress while simultaneously grasping at her chest with her hand. ”Sorry, I’m fine, must’ve fallen asleep,” I said as convincingly as I could. Meredith stopped patting and her hand fell to her side, she lifted her head slightly, her eyes meeting mine. They knew I lied, she knew I lied, would she call me out on it? ”I understand, get ready, breakfast is downstairs,” she said and smile ominously. I nodded my head and got out of the bathroom, picked out some clothes, and waited til Meredith was out of the room before I threw myself on the bed and buried my face in a pillow. Shit shit shit shit. Whose voice was that in the shower? It was Percy I had been seeing but It was
I was looking at him but also saw the girls behind him looking at each other, unspoken words being shared, and knowing looks and glances thrown between. ”You’re clubbing with us tomorrow?” He asked me, his voice suddenly sterner, and the playful joker was wiped off completely. This guy was a rollercoaster of personalities. Was that the only question people were able to ask me? Nothing about how I've been adjusting, the weather, the horses, nothing except for clubbing, the one question I couldn't answer. ”Yo, Dave, let’s go,” Sam said and slammed a hand on Dave's back. His eyes were still gazing into mine, something unspoken was screaming behind them, there was something ominous there that I couldn't see and whatever it was I wouldn't get to know. Dave turned around, in a nanosecond his joyful spirit was back and he was slapping Sam around. ”We’re going with them to get some homework done, just wanted to meet you, say hi, and that if you do choose to come with us tomorrow, we
What had just happened? I couldn't fathom why they had ganged up, circled, and tried to harm me. But as soon as they heard who I was, they were apologetic, they stopped, apologized, and seemed horrified, not because of what they had done and planned to do but because of who I was. The princess. If I hadn't been her, nobody would've saved me, nobody would've cared and they wouldn't have stopped. All because of a stupid title that doesn't hold any real meaning or power, not really, not for me. Everything in me went numb after he touched me, he did it to scare me, hurt me, and possibly worse. They were three, three strong guys with their wolves and I was alone, with no wolf and no strength. I couldn't fight back. The little I had done, kicking him between his legs, had done nothing. He didn't bend over as I thought, he wasn't startled and hurt, the others didn't back away. I hoped the kick would buy me more time so I could run away because running was all I could do. I felt weake
We were in the doctor's office and Selene was dangling her feet from the bed. The doctor had done some tests and then gone of, he’d be back with the results soon but I had a feeling I knew what the test results would show. The door opened and he stepped inside with a bright smile on his face. ”Congratulations, princess, you’re pregnant,” ”Huh?” I turned around and looked at Selene's pale face. All the color had drained from it and she looked like she was about to pass out. She pointed to the corner where a trash can was standing. ”Bucket!” I took a puke bag from the stands and handed it to her. ”I would like you too come back in two weeks for an ultrasound to make sure that everything is as it should be,” The doctor said. ”Sure,” Selene nodded her head and wiped her mouth clean. For werewolves, the process of childbirth was different than for humans. Instead of nine months, we have around three, so the pregnancy is fast but rarely painless. ”We should get you something
The sun had set and the moonlight seeped in through the window giving us the slightest bit of light. Selene was laying on the bed, her legs were spread apart and she was waiting for me. I took slow steps, enjoying how impatient she was getting. Selene groaned and got on her knees. I stood next to the bed and gazed down as she started unbuckling the belt and undoing my pants. She sucked in her bottom lip and and her hands were working fast as pulled my jeans down and they landed at my ankles along with my underwear. Selene licked her lips as my erection sprung free. I’d been hard for almost an hour and seeing Selenes lustfilled eyes and her impatient ways was causing the throbbing to become painful. She raised her hand and was about to wrap her fingers around my dick but I had other plans for her. I dragged my thumb over her lips and then pushed at her shoulders so she flew back. She laid s
The injured were being cared for, the bodies were being disposed of and those that belonged to us were being buried with their families and close ones attending. So many deaths in just a few hours, it made me sick. ’It’s war’ It's stupid ’But necessary’ How can you say that? ’It’s the natural order of things. The strong survive. Had it not been for wars, the werewolf species would've over populated long ago and that would mean the end for the human race’ Oh That made sense but it still made me sick. Emma was sitting on a bench looking out over the estate grounds. I knew I had to talk to her, and there was a lot I want
Nobody else moved in for which I was glad. This was between me and him, everyone else would stay out of it. I hoped. Damien walked toward me with heavy steps and I desperately wanted to shift. ’Let’s do it’ There’s not enough space, someone will get hurt He threw a punch and I dodged it. I saw some movement coming from the podium, Sam was squirming on the floor and his eyes were slowly fluttering open. My concentration was cut for half a second but that was enough. Damien had his hand around my throat and squeeased as he lifted me from the floor and tossed me into the wall. My head started spinning but Damien wasn't about to give a me chance to get back up. I tried to stand but my balance wasn't there and a punch to the face on top of that tossed me back down. I groaned and spat out blood. Everyone around us were getting impatient. Those of the Lycan Pack and my pack wanted to step in and fight Damien. Those with Damien wanted me dead already and I could tell they would glad
~Selene~ I was fighting in my human form and continously looking over at Damien. I wanted to kill him, I needed too see him die with my own eyes and preferably by my hands. My father, the king, was fighting him of with ease but he wouldn't be able to kill him alone. Howls were heard from far away. Everyone stopped for a few seconds and looked toward were the sound was coming from. Several wolves came running up, faster than I had ever seen, behind them were warriors in their human form. I reckognized the wolf in the front. ’Percy, is that Patrick?’ His eyes were viocsuly scanning the surroundings, salvia hung from the side of his mouth and you could tell they were here for the kill. ’Yes it is’ He said I scoffed and nodded my head. The Lycan Pack was here. They jumped in and the slaughter doubled. Had this been any other pack, they would've been outnumbered, but in this case, the playing field just evened out as the Lycan Pack joined. They slashed, clawd, bit and tugged. Bo
Egon stepped forth and I growled as I slammed at Damien's shoulders with all my strength. It was enough to make him fall back. I jumped up and kicked him toward the window. Another kick and the impact broke the glass and he fell down. It was pretty much all the strength I had left and I felt the sharp pain in my side return three folded. ”I told you to take the others and go! If you had done what I told you to I could've taken care of Damien.” Selene scolded. I turned slowly and faced her. ”And his people? Let’s say you killed Damien, then what? What about the hundreds of warriors he had with him, you think they’ll put down the hatchet and walk away? No, they will fight til death to avenge their Alpha.” ”I would’ve dealt with it,” ”Wake up! You can't do this on your own, I don't know why you’re suddenly acting all pissed of but lock it down and let’s get this over with.” ”You don't why I'm pissed?” She asked calmly and stepped toward me. I heard a rummage going on outside but
~Percy~ The taste of blood swirled on my tongue, I could taste it and smell it but I couldn't react. Whatever happened these last few days was enough for Egon to become dormant. Neither of us had any strength left but I knew it was time. I needed to eat, to heal, and then get Selene and get the fuck out of here. Slowly my mobility returned. My jaw moved, my teeth sunk into the fresh meat and the bloody juices ran down my throat. After a few more pieces were fed to me, I could open my eyes. I saw everyone standing around, the one who looked worse for wear was Mikayla. She wasn't healing as she should. ”It will take some time for her injuries to heal completely,” The queen said and placed a hand on Mikayla's shoulder. I nodded my head, it was all I could do. ”Here you go,” Emma handed me a bottle of water. I wanted to gulp it all down but the slightest drop felt like nails against my throat. I turned my head an inch and looked into Emmas' eyes, behind her stood Dave, the guy that
My mouth was agape and I was staring blankly at Stepahines red face. ”Uhm,” I couldn't find the words. Were there any words? ’They’re mates’ No shit ’Don’t be rude’ This is messed up. He attacked her, kept her in his room like a prisoner, and starved her ’And now they’re in love, people can change’ Please go sleep I ran a hand through my hair and looked up at the ceiling. Words, Selene, find any words and speak them. ”So,” good start. ”Why?” I asked. Well, those are words. ”We’re mates,” She said and bit down on her lip as she side-glanced at him. I snapped my fingers in front of her face and got her attention back on me. ”What do you mean you’re mates? When did this happen? Before or after I stole you some food because he was starving you?” I was pissed and everything was about to unravel. ”Selene-” ”No!” I pointed my finger at Sam to make sure he stayed quiet. ”We’ve been fighting, sneaking around our own home, searching for information, risking our lives to save
I Walked back up and got to the kitchen. So far so good. I was careful so that none of Damien's people would see me. I stopped and hid where I had to but they weren't that many in the estate right now. The kitchen was almost empty. The only ones in there were two chefs whom I knew worked for the Royals. They turned their backs toward me as I came in and I started rummaging the fridge. There were lots of fresh meats in there and some bags of jerky in the pantry. I grabbed anything with protein and some bread as well. I grabbed as much as I could carry but one of the chefs came up and patted my shoulder. She held out a big plastic bag and I stuffed all the meats inside of it. I thanked the chef who seemed relieved at what was happening. Everyone here wanted things to go back to the way they were. They didn't want Damien and his people here but if they tried doing something themselves, they’d get slaughtered. The hallways were empty so I went behind the stairs and to the back room, cu
