I released a breath I didn't know I was holding and grabbed my drink. I gulped it down just as quick as the last one and just as I was slurping the last in the glass, the girls came over to the bar. They were laughing and singing to the music as they walked a straight line over to where we were standing. ”Six shots, please!” Steph yelled to the bartender who poured us each a shot of tequila. We raised our glasses and downed the liquor. ”I need to pee,” Mikayla said and Steph followed suit. Vanessa hoped up on a chair beside mine, her eyes were distant and her head was down. Sam and Dave were talking on their own side but I saw the shallow glances Sam was throwing my way. I turned around and placed my hand on Vanessa's arm. ”Are you alright?” I asked her. Vanessa forced a big smile and nodded her head. ”Yeah, of course I am,” she said happily but the undertone said differently. My eyes fell, I realized just now that Vanessa wanted me to open up, to confide in her, but it wou
I took a step forward, my head still turned and watching sam and Vanessa walk away. I missed a step and fell down, yelping as I prepared to hit the floor, but the hit never came. I was flung back up and spun around. My hand flew to my mouth and I took a deep breath, forcing the vomit to stay down. When I regained my focus, I was staring into some deeply angered eyes. ”Are you drunk?” Dave growled. His hands were holding my shoulders, he forcibly held me in place. ”No,” I scoffed but I didn't even believe my own words. Lying was harder when you were drunk. I took another step but fell again. ”Shit,” Dave groaned. ”Selene, what the fuck is happening?” Dave placed me on the chair but I didn't answer his question. His hand lowered to my thigh and he dug his fingers into my flesh, making me wince. If he wasn't suspicious earlier, he definitely was now. ”Werewolves don't get drunk on the little booze we have had and they definitely don't flinch from that.” He growled. ”Shh!” I sa
~Percy~ ”Just fucking get it!” I slammed the phone down against my desk, my hands were stretching and flexing against the oak wood surface. My claws extended and started scratching into the desk, my breathing was excelling and my wolf was reaching the surface. ”Hey, Percy?” I heard Patricks' voice from the door but it faded into the rage that was currently consuming me. Nothing was as planned, the rogue attacks were multiplying, and other packs were reaching for our help in defeating them. My pack members were in a frenzy after word got out about Alpha Damien's involvement in current events regarding my mate. And a rumor had spread that my mate was the long-lost princess of The Shadow Land pack and the previous punching bag of my pack. We had a rat in the pack, someone who received and then distributed information that was not for the masses. I had an idea of who it was but no concrete proof. Whilst all this bullshit was happening, Selene was living amongst people she couldn
Vanessa was smiling brightly as I walked down to meet her in the foyer. She was standing with Mikayla and Steph, and neither of them looked very happy. When I got closer, the girls left and I watched as they walked away. Vanessa looked warily between me and them. ”What was that all about?” She asked with a giggle. ”Nothing, I mean, I have no idea,” I said and looked as confused as she did which seemed to have sold it. We walked through the woods, out on a little path, and past several houses before we made it to a cute little yellow cottage. It had two big windows in the front, it was a one-level house with a porch. I smiled as I walked up the stairs to the front door. It was the cutest little house I had ever seen with flowers in their colorful pots greeting you by the door. I looked to my side and saw Vanessa with her head lowered, awkwardly patting her arm. ”Are you okay?” I asked her. ”It’s not much,” she said and scanned her home. My brows furrowed and I looke
I saw Percy, I saw myself, we were sitting on the rock where we had our first kiss. It was us, in the forest, that day when I needed to breathe, I need to be far away from everyone. I had a secluded space, one that was just for me. Percy had found me, he sat down next to me, we kissed, I felt him, all of him. ’Are you my friend?’ I asked him while looking into his eyes. They were beautiful, a promised land of wonders and safety. ’Yes, for now’ he said. I didn't understand and he could see that. ’I’m hoping to be more one day’ ’More than what?’ ’More than your friend’ ’What do you want to be to me?’ We held each other's gazes for the longest moment. ’Everything’ my cheeks heated and I looked away from him. ’Why can't you?’ I asked him without making eye contact, that was a daring question. ’You need to be protected’ my brows furrowed and I turned to look at him. ’No I don’t’ I said and pouted. Percy chuckled and smiled from ear to ear. ’Yes, you do’ ’I can protect mys
I tried to remember if I had ever heard his name but nothing came to mind. Alpha Damien, I had no idea who that was. ”Have you heard of him?” I shook my head to the question. ”I’ve never met him, only heard the stories.” Sam said and winced. ”What were the stories?” ”That he’s ruthless, merciless and has no compassion for anyone other then himself.” I gulped. ”And how can he help save my parents and the pack?” ”He’s stronger, stronger than any other Alpha and his pack is like a well-ordered machine. He has trained his soldiers as mercenaries. And with him on our side, we’d might stand a chance.” ”How do I play into this?” I asked him. Sam stoped and closed his mouth as he adverted his gaze. ”Please tell me,” I begged. ”You’re the heir to the throne. The only way someone could get the power needed to make decisions regarding the pack is if you are either the ruler, the heir or bound to one of the above through marriage.” My eyes widened. I wasn't ready for his answe
I hadn’t made the wrong decision, I made this choice to protect the Royals and the pack. I was the heir, I had no wolf to defend them with and I could barely defend myself so this was my way to take charge. To show them that I cared, that I was capable, and despite the fact that I could never protect them in battle, I could protect them this way. ”Hey, have you seen the queen?” I asked one of the chefs in the kitchen. ”I think she’s in the main library with the king, princess,” The chef said. I groaned from being called princess again. I walked through the hallway and practiced what I would say. But something told me that the truth would just blurt out the second I saw them. Oh god, what had I just done? It was the right decision, it was to protect them and keep everyone safe. It was the right choice... I knew it was but why was I having this nauseating feeling that I had just fucked up big-time. I took a deep breath, releasing it as I reached the door to the library. I sm
~Percy~ I was about to reach the Shadow Lands Pack, their borders stretched for miles and it would still take me an hour to drive up to Selene. I pressed on the gas and went as fast as I could but it wasn't fast enough. I stopped the car and got out. ’Fast’ i said to Egon as we shifted and started running towards the castle. We crossed the border and I knew that the hard part would start now. The second the guards knew someone had crossed onto their land they would be after us. I just needed to get to the castle. I started hearing howls and paws coming toward me and more guards were joining in coming from both left and right. No ill meanings to the royal guards but we were faster, they weren't a threat. Egon grolwed as we took on more speed and ran through the woods. The guards were growling behind us but they weren't close. ’Almost there’ I said as we started to near in on the castle. A tree had fallen in front of us, Egon took a right and rounded it whilst some of the gu
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
