SELENA'S POV

"Limited?" I muttered, the fine on my face deepening as I looked around the forest, still searching where the voice was coming from. "What do you mean by that?"

Just then, I heard loud chatters come from behind me. A small gasp escaped my lips as I soon realized that I was without my masks. Luckily, I brought it with me, hidden in my gown.

The voices were getting closer.

Hurriedly, I placed the mask over my face and muttered some spells, sealing the disguise in place and causing my entire features to change. I turned right after to see three warrior wolves walking towards me. They had their claws shot out and we're covered from head to toe with blood.

"And the rogues thought they could get me," one of the warriors said with a laugh, causing the others to join him. "The fool came at me and I swiped my claws at him..." he swiped his claws in the air, staining some of the trees around him with drops of blood, "... and it didn't take too long for him to drop dead."

    Selena's POVAs we walked into the pack house, I tried to avoid Zane's gaze. His gentle talk as we walked and genuine interest in my affairs only made me more determined to conceal my fears.Telling him about what the warrior wolf said before leaving would surely cause a dispute between the two and I wasn't sure I was ready to do that all because of a feeling. "Selena. What's eating you up?" he asked, seemingly jolting me out of my inner struggles.My eyes widened, and my jaws clenching in surprise. "Oh, nothing, I just didn't hear your call," I said, my mouth parting only slightly."I can see that you're really deeply worried about something but you decide to hide it from me." He stopped abruptly on his tracks and looked around suspiciously. "Tell me," he whispered, "are you fed up with their faces?" He pointed at the faces of the guards and werewolves around. "At the slightest command any one of your choice would be slain."I forced myself to chuckle slightly at his attempt at a jo

    Selena's POVIt all all happened so fast. The stab, the blood."Zane!!" I screamed, running up to him. His hands were wrapped expertly on the cut as he tried to wade off the masked intruder of the room.Grabbing a nearby candelabra, I hurled it at the assassin, striking him off balance. Zane took advantage of his position, landing a decisive blow on him and tearing the mask off his face.The intruder stumbled backwards, his hood falling away. He tried to cover his face with an arm, the shadows playing a role in obscuring his face.Zane landed another fatal blow on him, sending him finally to the ground. The force of his blow however caught him off balance, causing him to fall beside the intruder, the impact of the cut weighing him down."Zane, no!" I exclaimed, running towards him and dropping on my knees beside him. Blood seeped between his fingers, staining his shirt. The cut had really left a deep gash.Without hesitation, I placed my hands gently on the wound, trying to concentra

    Selena's POVAll eyes turned towards the entrance as a figure emerged from the darkness, walking steadily towards us. All the warriors stood up, their claws shooting up simultaneously as they prepared for defence against the intruder."Gentle now, friends, I've not come to harm you," he paused, then added, "not yet at least. "Rowan!!I recognized his voice instantly, jolting as I did so. "No, he must not see my face," I said, bending my head and putting on my hood. "You just walked into our council, our most secret gathering. You must leave at this instant." Zane's brow furrowed as he said this, his fangs shooting out."Now, now, Alpha Zane. I've not come all the way here for you to send me out. You must hear me. " He walked towards the throne, walking past me be stopping."Hmm, you smell familiar.""Cut to the chase and leave, we are in the middle of a serious meeting that would determine the safety of our pack!!

    Rowan's POVThat smell, it was just too strong. I stopped halfway through the hallway. Trying hard to recall where I had seen that wolf, I felt a part of me bonded partially to the wolf."Now I miss my old wolf," I said, my eyebrows slightly furrow, conveying a hint of longing. I walked past the hallway, my mind drifting to memories of my former mate.Selena.Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. I stopped, stretching my hand towards the fire torch and putting it off. I masked myself with the darkness around the hallway, reducing my breathing.The sound of the footsteps became louder as I stood there. I sniffed slowly, perceiving a similar smell with what I perceived back in Zane's chamber."Time to unmask the wolf behind the cloak," I said to myself as I stood there in the darkness.The sound of the footsteps suddenly wasn't heard again, and I took a deep breath. The werewolf must have noticed that it was being stalked.Without thinking much, I stepped out with speed out of my hidin

    Selena's POVThe trees and leaves were all scattered around as I trekked through the dense forest, trying to find the right path. I had walked for hours, the urge from my wolf inconsistent. Whenever I tried to turn back or reverse my footsteps back to the pack the urge to find whatever I was to find would come back, stronger and more refined than the previous. The forest grew darker, the sounds of nocturnal creatures intensifying. As I trudged deeper, I stumbled over roots and fallen branches, the strange silence in the forest boarders swallowing me. I thought about the guards that were assigned at the boarder, and a sudden tension gripped me. "They'll be fought if the need arises," a sudden voice whispered. Obviously noting that despair had begun to overwhelm me, the voice broke out into a melodious song, one that was hauntingly beautiful, with a gentle soothing quality that seemed to calm my frizzled nerves."You sing too?" I said, more to myself as I didn't expect a reply from

    Selena's POVI turned around, carefully observing the dungeon and it's marks. It was definitely a labyrinth of abyss shrouded in darkness and despair. My mind drifted back to the strange unfamiliar figure sitting on the floor opposite me, his knee angled and his hand resting on it. He had blisters and sores on them, testaments to the time he had spent down here. His head was bent when he called my name. Walking up to him, I couldn't fail to recognize the chains that bounded his ankles. Iron cuffs circled his wrists, etched with runes. The chains rattled as they scraped the ground, following his every toss and turn on the ground. Clearly, he was discomforted."You've come as destiny permits," I heard him say said, his head still bent low. Somehow I could detect an aura of quiet power surrounding him. "Destiny? What destiny?" I asked him, feeling drawn as I squatted beside him. The air was heavy with a stench of decay, mold and forgotten centuries. It took an effort to stabilize in t

    Selena's POV'W-what's this I see? What such great power can the rogues possess to wage such war against the entire wolf race?' I asked him.'The destiny of all the packs lies in your hand. You alone can reverse the trend, look, and you'll see,' he communicated, his eyes unblinking. 'What do you want me do?" I asked, my brows furrowed as different thoughts crossed my mind. 'Should I inform the alpha of moonstone pack?' The man's eyes unwavering, he replied, 'trust not me, but the fate of those packs. The rogue surge will not discriminate. Every pack, every life, will be lost if I remain captive.'As our gazes held, the dungeon's darkness seemed to recede, replaced by a sense of shared purpose. Feeling the weight of the man's words, the burden of the entire werewolf race filled me.Licking my lips, I adjusted my stance and repeated, 'I ask again, what do you want me do?''The obvious, let me go. I'll be free to work tirelessly against their plans. I just need to return to my pack,'

    Serena’s POV"Wait," the leader called. Taking steps towards us, his torch danced, it's flames travelling before him. He raised my chin again, looking deep into my eyes. "What a fair lady we have here," he said, smiling and tilting his head towards me. His breath reeked of stale and decay. "Well, well, well," another sneered as I moved my head backwards to avoid the oozing smell coming from the firsts mouth. His voiced was laced with malice as he spoke. "Looks like we've got ourselves a little escape artist," he joked, laughing at the top of his voice. The other guards trembled as he made the joke, for at that point they must have recognized fully that I was the seer.My eyes flashed in defiance, but the guard's gaze lingered, his eyes filled with lust. "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" the first mumbled as he leaned in, his voice taking a menacing tone. "I like that.""My lord, perhaps we should lead her to the cell right away. The day is expired," one of the other trembling guard

    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

    Karen's POVZane's eyes locked into mine with a sudden look of seriousness. "Selena a needs to get to the Aeges stone as soon as possible. It's the only source of her recuperation, and you know that. "I felt a surge of confusion as I stole a glance at Selena. How would this affect my already laid out plan? There was no time to think."I'll come with you all then," I finally heard myself say. "We'll all go together, and I'll stand by your side."Selena beamed with smile as I said this, and I couldn't help but wish that I could just pierce her neck and end her at that point.She walked up to me. "Elara," she called, her eyes filled with all sense of gratitude.I stole a glance immediately at Zane, and then stared back at Selena. "I'm not Elara. I'm Karen," I replied in correction."Oh, I've been mixing up names lately," she replied, tapping her forehead gently. " Thanks for your offer, but we'll be fine.""No Selena. I love you dearly and I'm willing to take it all up on myself to see

    Karen's POVI raised an eyebrow, my gaze travelling from the powerful stallion to the chief guard."You've got to be kidding me," I repeated, my voice laced with surprise and skepticism. "This is the best available you say?"The chief guard took a glance at me and then at the powerfully built beast, his fade etched with concern and wonder at my expression."You don't like it?" he asked calmly. "This stallion is the best in the entire pack. It was trained specially for speed and agility, and it's the best recommended for such a long journey. "I snorted, still filled with anger that I was left behind in the pack. "I highly doubt that," I muttered, taking gentle steps towards the beast. Once getting to the stallion, I ran my hand over it's mane. It turned it's face to me and nickered, it's eyes gleaming with intelligence. I smiled this."I think we'd work," I said out loud, the chief guard chuckling at this. He had always wanted us both to work things out between ourselves, hoping that

    Karen's POVRowan took slow predatory steps towards me, his fangs still visible and his claws strangely shot out. "This changes everything."He was obviously consumed with an inner fire, consumed more with the desire to unleash complete destruction, but he still kept me in suspense."Speak!!" I roared in anger, tired of all his acts.He stared at me for a while, possibly wondering what had come over me, then he walked to me, putting his hand on my shoulder. It felt like he dug his claws into my skin, but I stood there, staring at him. He kept on, his hand still dug into my shoulder. No longer able to bear the pain he inflicted anymore, I shook my shoulder in an attempt to take he claws off my skin, but that was a pretty bad idea, for as soon as I did so, I felt his claws tearing my skin the more."Aarrgggh!!!" I screamed, stretching my hand towards him in an attempt to push him away from me violently, but he held my hand, spinning me around in a single point."How do you feel about

    Karen's POVI turned to him slowly. "So that's it? Sounds so perfect to be true Rowan. You know how reality is don't you? "His lips slowly gave way to a large grin. " Of course my dear Karen. When nature wishes to play foul," he paused, his eyes fixed on me as he moved backwards, getting to his warriors. "We'd always be ready to strike if necessary."I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine as I watched all these unfold. I've always known Rowan to be cruel and evil, but never in time past have I seem him in this form, so consumed with hatred and anger. He seemed to be simmering on the surface of the anger he felt for the death of Raven in the battle front. It was terrifying, and for just a brief moment I regretted aligning myself with him in the very first place.But then the love I felt for Zane and my lust for the position of the chosen one and the powers associated made me stand firm.I was doing this for the right reasons and I knew it. I would stick with him to the end."You'

    Karen's POVI stormed along the river bank, my feet pounding fiercely against the damp earth. Rowan was already standing in there, his hands behind his back as he viewed the horizon across the sea."You lied Rowan," I spat,. my eyes burning with fury. " The portion I was given was meant to kill her, not to help her regain her memory!! "He turned to me sharply, and I jolted as I saw his eyes red with anger. "Today marks it a year since Raven return back to the soil, and you keep me company with this awful trash of a complain? How dare you!!! "As he roared, other warriors which I later identified as members of Redmoon pack walked out of the surrounding forest, their claws out. He was their Alpha, slowly plunging them into the darkness of rogue life, but they couldn't help it."That's your burden to bear Rowan. The portion was meant to kill her!!" I roared, not even minding the presence of his warriors. "You have no right to lie to me Rowan!!"Rowan's eyes flashed with anger again. " Y

    Selena's POVAs I finished the meal, Karen's excitation reached a fever peak. "Yes... yes...yes..." she whispered, her eyes wide and still rubbing her palms as a gesture of her excitement.Still watching her with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, I handed the tray back to the healer."Thanks again Karen," I said. "I'll forever be indebted. "" Yes indeed Selena, you will be, " she whispered loosely, getting hold of herself almost immediately and adding. "I mean.... there's not much of a problem Selena. All for you."Her behavior was beginning to unnerve me greatly, and I almost began to regret taking the food. Her strange actions were all too bizare.Her face beamed with smile once more as she took the tray from the healers and turned to leave. I felt glad to see her go.I relaxed back on the bed, and just as I was starting to relax,I heard the sound of familiar footsteps towards the room from outside.Zane walked in, his eyes scanning the room again before coming to me.
