~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
Bella's eyes fell to my neck and her brows furrowed. Her jaw tensed and she turned around without another word and left the room. I walked over to the mirror and looked at my neck. Damiens mark was fading. I ran my fingers over it softly and it wasn't warm anymore. That’s why I cared about Percy, that’s what this mark was doing to me. Oh my god. This mark is making me not care about anyone other than Damien. That’s what Emma told me to fight. If he found out, he’d mark me all over again. Bella was going to tell him. I ran out into the hall and saw her by the stairs. ”Wait,” I grabbed her arm and yanked her back. I saw the flesh wounds when her shirt rose, they were healing but they still looked gruesome, she had been in a fight. ”Don’t tell him about-” I placed my finger on the mark because I knew that if I said it, someone would hear and Damien would know within seconds. ”I don’t think you’ve fully grasped how this works. We don't get to decide,” She seethed. ”But you
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
