Selena's POVWe walked on, the female werewolf not saying a word, her eyes fixed on some point ahead.I heard the low murmuring of pack members behind me as we forged on, a cold shiver running down my spine. I could sense their anxiety, their desperation. They felt they were losing the great seer that they once knew and hoped on, and I felt their pain.We eventually reached the front of a small, rustic enclave where she dwelled, and instinctively, the pack members stopped outside as she pushed open the wedge she kept."May the good goddess be with you," a female pack member who helped her remove the wedge whispered to her ear, taking steps backwards. I swallowed at this, trying all the best all I could to reconnect to the healing powers they claimed I possessed which I knew I didn't.But I felt nothing, and it only added to my unease. I would fail them all the put their trust in me.The werewolf took steps inside, and I hesitated, staring into the dimly lit room."You could come in S
Selena's POVAs I walked towards the werewolf, I tried hard to maintain my footsteps, trying hard not to stumble in pressure, but my legs betrayed me, as I almost fell down as I moved, my legs wobbling."Are you alright dear Seer?" the male werewolf asked, making it definitely the second time he was asking the question.I turned back, smiling at him and forging on. It would surely be a mockery to my face if I failed to heal the lad, and this time a larger group of werewolves would turn to ask me if I was okay.I thought steadfastly about the mother's tears and the uncle's great expectations that the young werewolf would come back to us former state. The burdens of their hopes and expectations grew to be a burden on my shoulders.As I reached them young werewolf's side, I swallowed hard. Gazing down at his face, his pale and gaunt face, my heart went out for him. His skim was damp, his eyes sunken. I noticed his chest rise and fall with shallow, laboured breaths, making me to feel a
Selena's POVI followed the packmembers as they carried the werewolf on the stretcher, a sense of desperation feeling me. I just had to remember something, anything about my past as a healer. The lad shouldn't just die."He'll be fine," I heard the male werewolf tell the mother of the sick one in a whisper. "The Seer still has something up her sleeves," he added.A pang of guilt that I just couldn't imagine creeped into my heart, forcing me to stumble as I followed the packmembers to the packhouse. "No, you've got this Selena," I whispered to myself, closing my eyes and breathing deeply at a spot. The packmembers behind me stood still for a while, only to continue trudging forward without interrupting my thought process.I recalled snippets of conversations, fleeting images of warriors and places, and also Rowan. He was just there, standing still with a sort of wand in his hand."Selena," he whispered. "You're not getting your powers back, and you know it."I shook my head violently
Selena's POVStill watching Karen, I noticed as her hands began to move in an intricate pattern. I looked around me, the packmembers also caught in surprise as I was."What's going on here. Karen?" I called. Karen had been so good to me since we returned to this pack, providing my meal morning and evening, and oh, she was a great chef.But not a healer?Without raising her head to acknowledge my presence or voice, she waved her hand. "Don't let her come close," she whispered, her face and body fully concentrated on the lad before her.I watched her in awe, my mouth fully agape. What was truly going on? Or was she a healer, and I just couldn't remember? No, not likely, for she would have mentioned it during the numerous times she had served me.I felt I needed to know more, the lad shouldn't die, and if Karen wasn't truly a healer as she acted, he'd surely die!!I stormed forward, trying to pass through the thick wall formed by the pack members, but I felt a strong weight on my shoulde
Selena's POVI stood there, frozen to the spot in shock and complete amazement. The young werewolf's eyes flickered open, as he raised his hands for assistance."Good gracious," his uncle called as he ran towards him, helping him get steady."No, this can't be," I said under my breath, holding my mouth almost immediately. Surely I wanted the lad to survive, but not this way, not through Karen.Damn!! Something was surely out of place.I watched as his chest began to rise and fall with a slow, steady rhythm, further confirming that he was alive."Let him lay his back, he's still in the healing process," Karen said with a voice laced in complete confidence and authority, hovering her shoulder high and brushing past me.How dare she? I felt a pang of pain rise in my chest as I watched this all. Where was Zane when I needed him the most? But then as I watched on, something unexpected happened. His muscles slowly began to tense, his muscles flexing and rippling beneath his skin. His eyes
Selena's POVI couldn't help but drop the container of my fertility pills when I saw the text. It wasn't terrible news, or something that shocked me to the core, but rather, it was a strange message that I couldn't have imagined coming at such a time.I tried not to not focus on the spilled pills littering the kitchen floor, and read the message again and again until I could fully understand what it was trying to tell me.‘6PM. Our secret spot.Wear that sexy black lingerie. I'll be waiting. R.’I took in a shaky breath, not wanting to let excitement get the better of me. There was only one person that had enough audacity to send me such a suggestive message, although I wondered why he didn't simply use his own number. Maybe he wanted things to be more . . . mysterious?“Hey, Selena—” Raven walked into the kitchen while dragging a brush through her thick ginger hair. She halted in her tracks when she saw the pills on the floor. “What's wrong?”The concern in her expression made me
Selena’s POVThe man simply licked his lips and grabbed my waist roughly, pulling me to him. “Come on, baby.”“No!” I screamed, pushing him away so hard that he stumbled backwards.Quickly, I picked up my clothes and hastily put on my coat, irritated at the way I felt like curling up in a ball and crying. Never could I have imagined such a thing happening to me today, especially when I had expected to see Rowan.Did Rowan know about this? That some strange man had come into our most sacred place and put his hands on my body?I didn't want to believe that he could have done such a thing, but I couldn't make sense of the whole situation at all.Without sparing another glance at the strange naked man, I rushed out of the secret garden I had once found safe.——Much to my displeasure, Rowan didn't pick up his calls. I needed to talk to him about what I had faced earlier, but with the way things were, the only way I might have been able to do that was driving over to the pack office myself
Selena's POVIt was like I had gone deaf. People kept cheering for Rowan and the woman by his side, but I couldn't understand what was even happening before my eyes. I turned to Raven by my side, surprised to even see her among those clapping. I held her hand tightly, like it was the only piece of floating wood that could save me from drowning.“What's happening?” I asked her, hoping that she at least had some answers. I expected her to burst into laughter and tell me that the lady Rowan was holding was some kind of distant relative that he was welcoming, or that they were trying to play an elaborate prank on me, but she didn't say anything of the sort. No, instead, she pulled her hand out of my grasp, and her face contorted into a sneer. “Why don't you go ask him? He's right up there,” she said, pointing up to the stage where Rowan stood.He and the woman stood too close. The woman kept looking at him with such adoration in her eyes that definitely couldn't have been mere familial

Selena's POVI walked around the packhouse, my feet seeming to be taking strides of it's own as I struggled to keep my mind up. Every turn seemed familiar, yet distant.Zane told me earlier that I spent a great part of my years as a seer in this pack, healing packmembers and venturing with the warriors into wars, but all that seemed far away as I found it tough to recall even the most seemingly common butler or room keeper."With time you'd recall them all," Zane had said to me earlier and I believed him, but the more I walked around the more it seemed all too distant. I took a step out of the pack house and into the pack surrounding, the packmembers flooding towards me in different groups."Long live the great seer, bless you Seer, here comes the Seer who saved my life by healing me," I heard from the different groups as they ran towards me.I smiled at them, nodding to their various greetings, bit deep within me it all felt like a dream, where everything was all fuzzy. I broke fre
Karen's P.O.VI bursted into the throne room, my heart beating hard against my ribs as the scene back at the forest kept on replaying in my head. I took in deep breaths as I felt like my lungs were about to fail me. I tried to breathe in but I did so too fast and ended up choking. I tried to compose myself, but what met my eyes blew away my last remnant of restraint.A shirt gasp escaped my lips as I froze in place. Selena and Zane.Not only had they left me behind in MysticShadow Pack, but they were also entangled with each other, right here in the sacred throne room!'No. this can't be happening,' I thought to myself as different thoughts raced through my mind. "Selena!! Zane!!" I roared as my voice echoed off the grand marble walls. "What the hell is going on here?!" They were wrapped in a passionate embrace, with Selena's fingers dancing around the locks of Zane's hair, while his hands clasped her around the waist as though wanting to never let go. They shared a passionate kiss
Selena's POVI sat on the throne reserved for the Luna of the pack, the long hair that was prepared for me cascading down my back like a river of sunset dues.Sitting just beside me was my heart throb, Alpha Zane, the grand and prosperous Alpha of Moonstone pack. He was all there could ever be to me, my epitome of strength and grace.His presence commanded power and strength all around, and I couldn't help but steal glances at him. His piercing blue eyes seemed to see right through everything he set his gaze on, and it sparkled with a sense of amusement that sent calm chills through all those he spoke with.I watched as his chiseled features were set in a calm and serene expression. But deep down I knew that beneath that tranquil surface lay a depth of emotion, a sort of passion that only I was lucky enough to experience.Seeming noticing my continuous stare at him, he sharply turned to me, a smile growing on his face.As I continued to gaze at him, I felt my heart swell in admiration
Karen's POVI couldn't surpress the anger and defiance I felt at the strange warrior's words. How dare him prophesy doom to my face? Who was he to tell my about my desires for lust and power? Only I knew what I wanted, and how I'd go far I'd go to get it."Your warnings and prophesies are not needed here," I blasted at him, my voice low and venomous. "I alone understand how it feels to see the one I love so dearly being snatched away from my hands by a mere.... werewolf. "The strange warrior laughed hard at this, raising his head up and shaking quite violently."She's the Chosen one, Karen. You can't do anything against her that won't return back to you," he said after the fit of laughter." You have no authority to prophesy doom to me, the one with the healing powers!! " I roared, taking steps towards him in rage.He stood still, his eyes till locked with mine. "You're blinded by your selfish ambition," he continued, his voice quite low and gravelly.I laughed at this, a cold and
