~Selene~ The walls were the same, the bed was made, the closet doors were closed and the lamp was on. My room hadn't changed, but I had. I was different. It wasn't different clothes or a different mood, my whole person wasn't the same and I knew that. I had no clue how this happened and I didn't mind it. I felt safe. I didn’t jump as I normally did when someone snuck up on me. Damien's fingers graced my skin, they softly caressed my arm, and then went higher up. His head leaned down, his lips hovered softly over his mark and he pressed a featherlike kiss on the wound. His arm snaked around my waist and his hand placed on my stomach as he pulled me back onto him. My butt was pressed up against his front and I felt his throbbing needs. I closed my eyes and my stomach began to flutter. I licked my lips and leaned my head back. Damien's lips continued to kiss my neck, he nibbled and dragged his tongue over my flesh and it ignited under his touch. ”Turn around.” I did as he aske
~Percy~ Selene was different, something happened in the throne room. Damien broke her walls, everyone betrayed her at once and then her eyes just went empty and cold. Damien must've gotten into her head, the mark would tie them, and he would've been able to control her body as he had. I had no idea how but I had heard that if you mark someone who isn't your mate, some of the bonds will slowly tie together but it will be nothing like the actual mate bond. It isn't love for the other person that is causing you to mark them, it is the need for control and dominance. The second that Damien marked Selene, his poison would've seeped into her veins and tied her to him. Her emotions and her body would've reacted to his as though they were mated. He would be able to sense her, where she was at any given time. But it had its flaws because you're not meant to mark anyone besides your mate, you would be going against the very basis of nature that had been created for werewolves as a gift. The
~Selene~ I was walking down the hallway, on my way to the kitchen to grab a snack. I saw a few of Damien's warriors as I passed and smiled but received a stone-cold expression in return. Whatever they were going through must be rough, they didn't smile at anyone, and they barely spoke as they walked back and forth in their posts. ”Sam, you better let me the fuck out of here or I swear to god-” ”What?” He spoke so calmly while she yelled and growled at him. I knew shouldn't have but I walked closer to Sam's room. ”What are you going to do, run? You so much as show your pretty little face out there and the warriors have orders to kill you. If that's what you want then by all means, go. Just remember that you’re no use to your friends if you’re dead.” Sam grabbed onto Steph's chin and violently tilted her head back. Her eyes were glowing and she was snarling at him but quieted. His back was turned to me, her eyes flicked for a second. ”Or you behave like a good girl and do as I
Damien scanned Emma's face for a second. ”I have some business to attend to, why don't you two catch up.” I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. I couldn't wait. ”Sam will be with you.” I froze. ”Why?” I asked. Damien stepped closer to me. His eyes held me in place with a stern look but then they softened. ”Because I want him too. Is that a problem?” ”We don't need a babysitter.” Emma said and tilted her hip to the side. ”I wasn't asking you.” Damiens eyes never left mine. His hand came up and cupped my cheek, my lips automatically parted and I held back a moan. ”I just want you to be safe. Samuel will be with you to make sure of that, you don't want me to worry, do you?” ”No,” I breathed. ”We don't have a problem, do we?” ”No,” I looked into his eyes and saw the sea of love they held as he gazed into mine. ”Good.” Damien stepped back and shared a silent message with Sam before he turned and left, followed by a few of the warriors. ”Are you okay?” Emma asked. Whe
Empty. That was the first word that came to mind when Emma asked me that question. I couldn't tell her that though, it sounded weird. I was happy. ”I’m happy,” I said. ”Okay, happiness is good, but how do you feel?” ”I feel-” I looked around the room. ”-Like something is missing,” I whispered. ”I-” The door burst open and both me and Emma jumped to our feet. ”Leave.” Emma's eye met the floor and her head bowed. She quickly went around Damien and disappeared out of the room. He was tall, and big, and was taking up nearly the entire door frame. His eyes were yellow and his lips were pressed tightly. Damien closed the door behind him and then took slow steps toward me. His eyes were pinning me to the spot and I was afraid to look away from him. His hand came up and cupped my cheek as he inhaled deeply. Damien's hand went around my head and he grabbed a fistful of my hair. I yelped as my head was pulled back. ”Get on your knees.” I was kneeling in front of him, his e
The stables were empty and all the horses were out on the fields. We walked past the boxes and out on the back where there were stacks of hay piled all around. We climbed up on a ladder and looked at each other, both of us laughing as we pushed off and landed on the soft piles. I clutched my stomach when I couldn't stop laughing. They grew louder and I couldn't help myself as I rolled over. I sat up and looked at Emma. She was laughing too but hers died down. I couldn't stop. I continued laughing hysterically and my cheekbones were starting to ache. Emma looked at me worriedly and moved closer. My eyes started watering and my stomach contracted even more. ”Selene?” Her voice was soft and caring and her hand reached out. My hands were grasping onto the hay and I shook my head. The laughs gradually turned to cries and the loudest sob started uncontrollably overtaking me. The tears ran and I was screaming. My mouth parted widely and I was pulling my hair. My breaths were becomi
Meredith walked up to the bars. She eyed Emma and nodded her head. ”I was looking into that before Damien arrived with his pack. I met with a witch doctor a few times and told her about Selene. According to her, it shouldn't be possible for a person born of Royal blood to not be gifted a wolf. It simply shouldn’t. She said that if this was the case then there had to be another reason, something external that is prohibiting her wolf from connecting with Selene.” Emma's eyes fell and her shoulders twitched in a shrug. ”Like what? What can I do?” She asked sounding exhausted. If something else was keeping Selenes' wolf dormant then it shouldn't be that hard to fix. It meant that she had a wolf, they just weren't connected. ”You have to find that external factor,” Meredith said. ”How?” She shook her head. ”I was looking into that before all of this happened. I couldn't find out what it was. The doctor said it could be magic, some elixir, herbs, so many different things could b
I heard steps coming toward us and turned my head. A man came running from behind the trees and stopped when he saw Bella lying on the ground. He raised his head, his blonde hair was flowing in the wind and he was sporting a fresh black eye. He rose a brow and pouted his lips. ”Nice,” he scoffed and turned his head to me. ”Am I gonna get to meet the artist of this masterpiece,” ’What the hell?’ He has to be a pack member ’Which means he’s on our team’ We don't know that for sure ’So let’s find out’ We shifted back into human form and I stood there naked in front of the man who clearly hated Bella as much as us. ”Here,” he took off his shirt and tossed it to me. It hung down to my knees like a dress and I smiled gratefully when I looked back up at him. ”Thanks.” I said and stepped toward him. ”Who are you?” ”I’m Emma. My Alpha is Alpha Percy and I'm a member of the Lycan pack. Your turn,” He smirked and put his hands in his pockets. ”I’m Dave. I’m Selene’s fri
