Selena's POV

"Her wolf is gone. I'm so sorry," I said to them, getting up to my feet.

"No, that can't be. She's to be my mate!!" Rowan's lead warriors ranted, his eyes filled with rage. "You can't do this. She wasn't dead before you came around. You can't leave her in this manner!!"

He tried to move forward towards me but was held back by his men.

"You did this to her!!" he continued, struggling in the hands of his men.

I gave reply to him as I turned and headed to the chariot where Rowan sat. "I'm sorry, I tried all I could," I said to him. His face was covered in the royal cap he wore.

"She was all I've got. All," he managed to say to my hearing, his face still covered. "How do I live without her?"

I couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for him.

"You can live without her. You've lived without someone you...." I paused, structuring my words properly. " loved once."

He sat upright almost instantly. "Who do you refer to, Seer?"

" You know of course. Your first mate. You've lived

    Rowan's POVHe cleared his throat, but I noticed the added depth in his voice. "I think it's time I built the Lupercal," the seer said, looking away from my eyes and taking an authoritative posture, his head up and his hands behind his back."Hmm, why do you think so?" I asked, turning to the Seer fully."Well, with all the appellation I've gained among your warriors and eventually all your people, I can say that this surely is the best time to fix a healing facility amongst them," he explained, his gaze strong and assertive, with raised eyebrows. I studied him the more after noticing a slight crack on his chin. "What do you say?" he suddenly asked, his voice suddenly bringing my attention back to his eyes. "Alright," I muttered, adjusting my pose to look more authoritative. "I'll see what I can do about it. I'll surely get back to you later." "No Rowan," the Seer quickly interjected before I could even turn my back on him. I looked back at him, a shocked expression on my face. "The

    Selena's POVAs I walked through the forest, the trees loomed above me like sentinels. My mind, more like a rumbled of thoughts, played back the whole events with precision.The disguise was perfect, it's part played with pure expertise, although I felt his gaze travel down my chin for some reason. Left for that, Rowan saw nothing but a male seer who had his personal interest in front. As I walked, the trees seemed to close around me, their branches tangling together above my head as I walked back to the pack house. I tried but failed in taking my thoughts away from Rowan, his piercing eyes and strong jaw. Sometimes I just thought that the weight of my disguise was bearing down on me. I just wanted to pull them off and run to him, feeling once again his masculine pose and muscles.But no, I could not let these stupid feelings take over. They are and always will be remnants of my past. Rowan and his sister, their sins against me must be paid back for. He threw me out when I needed hi

    Rowan's POVThe shrill cry resonated through the forest trees again, causing the birds around to flee from their nest. I looked around, trying to determine the direction from where it was coming from but it seemed to be coming from all around. A low growl escaped my lips as I drew my claws out and stood in a fighting stance. "Did you hear that?" I asked the lead warrior, my wolf on high alert."Yes I did," he replied, his claws shooting out as he began to move."Not again," I muttered to myself, following quickly behind him. Again Raven's safety was threatened and I just wished we could go back to our pack and all these would end.After running for more than two minutes, I found Raven standing by a tree, her hands on her chest and her breathing heightened. She had a certain look on her face, one that I could not tell what it meant. "Rowen," Raven called upon sighting me and Thane, her voice surprisingly calm and reassuring. Wasn't it she that had just let out that scream not too lon

    Selena's POV"What do you mean?" Kato asked surprised. "Oh Kato," I called gently without looking up at him. He got the signal, putting down the salad that he was dressing and pushing the bowl to the side. "Don't you think it's time to sleep? Go on now, chicà," he said in his local dialect to the young girl and we watched as she hopped happily out of the kitchen."I need you to let me handle some of the cooking tomorrow," I told him, my eye fixed this time on him."Oh, not to worry, Seer," he said with a dismissive wave and a low chuckle as he shook his head slowly. "I know how much you care about us down here, but I've got all this covered. This... " he paused, pointing all over the kitchen, "this, this is my life. I'll handle whatever grand dinner there is to be tomorrow."I tried to think of a better way to convey my thoughts to him. "That's not the point Kato, certainly not," I muttered, dropping my spoon on my plate and looking up at him with as serious an expression as I could

"What was that?" he whispered, his voice low and cautious.I shook my head, my heart racing with anticipation. "I don't know," I whispered back, my eyes fixed on the window.And then, just as we were about to investigate, a figure emerged from the darkness outside. A figure that made my blood run cold, my heart skip a beat."Xaren," I whispered, my voice barely audible.Zane's arms tightened around me, his eyes flashing with warning. "What is he doing here?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.But before either of us could react, Xaren's eyes locked onto mine, and I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body."Selena," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "We need to talk.""You should be in the dungeon," Zane growled as he placed his hands in front of me, pushing me back gently. "Guards!!" "Oh, not to worry about that. They've all been settled accordingly, see," he paused, bringing

    Selena's POV"I've seen the way some of the pack members look at us," I said, my voice barely above a whisper as though someone close by was listening to our conversation. "They're not all loyal to us, Zane. Some of them may be secretly working with Xaren. I'm... I'm sure of it."Zane's expression turned grim, his eyes flashing with anger. "We'll investigate," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "And if we find out that anyone is working with Xaren, they'll be dealt with accordingly."I nodded in agreement, my heart pounding with anticipation. We were in for a long and difficult fight, but I was ready. I was ready to defend our pack, our home, and our way of life.As we sat there, discussing our plan of action, I couldn't help but feel a sense of determination and purpose. We would face whatever challenges lay ahead, and we would emerge victorious.But as I looked into Zane's eyes, I saw something there that gave me pause. A flicker of doubt, a hint of uncertainty."Zane, what's w

    Selena's POVThe sound of my footsteps were hushed by the lush carpet under me. I pulled the hood of my cloak over my face, hesitating a little as I held my mask in my hands. Sighing, I shoved it back into the cloak pockets.I walked through the hallway, my mind wandered, unable to shake the feeling that Zane's eyes were still on me. I found it almost impossible to resist him back in the room, but as I thought about him. my mind drifted to another person.Rowan.I had thought I was long over him, that my feelings for him had long faded away and was replaced by anger and revenge, but the more time that I spent with him- the more I set my eyes on him-the more I was proved wrong."I'll end this all tonight," I whispered under my breath, my fists clenching tightly. My revenge on him still stands, for the sake of my dead child.My steps slowed as another feeling hit me. I could t deny that I still felt a pang of guilt as I thought about Rowan. I had moved on, or so I thought. Zane was the

    Selena's POV"You said that the spell has to follow a certain pattern before the healing can be conjured perfectly," a student, Rayan, asked after I had pointed to him. "I once tried using a different pattern when using a spell on a rat that had a cut on its belly and it worked." "Just because it worked on an animal doesn't mean it would on a human," I explained as I walked towards the young boy. "Take for example, the doctor needed to treat an animal is not the same for treating a human. That goes for humans too." I muttered a spell under my breath and waved my hands in the air, causing an image to suddenly form m, suspended above us. Everyone awed and ooed at the sight, watching as I demonstrated to them what I meant with the image. "I once thought I could cut corners in using my spells one time when I was healing a fallen soldier during a battle," I said, waving my hand and causing the images floating image to play out in motion. It showed me kneeling beside a fallen wolf, his s

    Rowan's POV"Your out of your mind Rowan," one of the warriors interjected. " We can't just sit here and fold our arms."I turned to him. "I've not said such. Sitting around and folding our arms would lead us to a more effective doom. No not that." I turned to to Nathan. " We have to fight smartly my lord."He was growing impatient, and I could feel it . "And how do we suppose to do that?" he asked." We need to use our warriors wisely, not just throw them into battle like a cannon fodder just like you intend to, " I replied, hoping that he would dance to my tone.And he did."How dare you question my style?" He thundered, taking steps towards me. The raised platform he stood on made him look tall and devouring, but I tried to picture an equal opponent. "I know them more than you do, believe it or not Nathan," I replied calmly.He paused, his devouring stance changing instantly to one of a dull child. His eyes widening in stunned silence, he whispered. "You do?"I stood confidently.

"They're attack from the front seem to have....""Receded, and that's a major tactics of mysticshadow pack. " I paused, taking a look at her. "Selena's here. "Raven and I pushed our way through the army of warriors that stormed towards the pack house. Silently I rehearsed the words I would lay before Nathan to convince him to accept me in his army. That would give me the right weapon of protection.Turning to a corner, we suddenly caught sight of Nathan standing in a raised up platform. His eyes scanned through all the warriors as he barked orders on them all."....... recall to take cover behind the Eastern wall. That's the easily penetrable part of the pack!! ," he yelled.

    Rowan's POV"Moonstone pack?" Raven asked, amazed as the read the writing on the arrow stick."Zane's fighting for Selena," I whispered, my gaze fixed on the wall before me, breaking the stick into two. "Buddy!!" the obese prisoner called as he leaned toward the old prisoner. He was already burning, his clothes ablaze with fire. "You'd always be in my heart buddy, always."I and Raven quickly sprang into action, the air filled with the acrid smell of burning flesh and straw."Quick!! What else did you see? Mysticshadow pack weren't the one attacking, it was Zane and his warriors, " Raven inquired desperately.The prisoner stood still, his eyebrows furrowed as he locked eyes with me. "I tell you all what I see!! Selena on a horse, her claws on fire as she rides towards Redmoon pack."I wanted to know more. "Did she win the war?"As he was about to reply a loud crash echoed through the dungeon, followed closely by that sound of scream and shouts."What was that?" Raven whispered. The w

    Rowan's POVI took a look at the window, noting how small it was. It was the only source of ventilation to us there, and there was nothing we could do about it. "So what you gonna say huh?" the old prisoner asked his eyes locked at me, unblinking."So you tell me, that if you pee, you'd be slim enough to pass through this window? " I asked, desperation brewing slowly within me. I badly wanted him to see what's in for us outside and when the raid would take place."Well of course. But one thing. I'm too tall to pee on the floor. It's no fun at all, " he replied, pausing and grinning at me." So? " I asked, a hint of what he wanted to do already playing on my mind."It felt pretty good doing that stuff on your head the other time you know, " the obese prisoner said, " So what's the deal? "I stole a glance at Raven, who nodded slightly for me to do as he says. "Please you have to look through that window and tell us what you see, " I pleaded, hoping to kill them all after all this.The

    Rowan's POVI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surrounding. Relieved that the nightmare about Selena and the dead child wasnt pushed into reality, I turned around to take in what I saw. I was in a damp, dimly lit cell, the surrounding made of decayed mold, rodents traveling to and fro. I tried to listen, but at first the only sound I could here was the constant dripping of liquid on a hard surface. As I struggled to regain my bearings, I looked around again, and then I noticed a figure sitting beside me.It was Raven, her eyes bold and red. "He's peeing on your head," she said, her eyes never leaving mine."Wait, what?" I whispered, the constant dripping of liquid making sense."You, better keep your head up boy!!!" a hoarse voice commanded, as he continued his act. With a single effort, my claws shot out and into space, but Raven held me back. "He's just a distraction, you wouldn't want to draw their attention, besides, he'll be of help later on " she said, pointing to

    Selena's POVI woke up to the same haunting image that had been troubling me for days, Rowan's lifeless body soaked in his own pool of blood. I killed him, my dead child still in my hands. I just couldn't seem to shake off the dreadful feeling. Zane was sitting beside me, his gaze far outside the window."Again?" he asked, for I had told him about the nightmare several times."Yes Zane. He's all over the place. I look around I see him, my child. Rowan's also there, in the pool of blood, " I said, giving him a quickly summary of the dream for the umpteenth time. He turned towards me, his eyes filled with concern. "You'll be fine, when this is all over," he said."When what's all over? " I asked, unsure of what he meant. " Don't worry Selena. Take your time to heal, " he said stroking my hair.I was about to insist that he explain what he meant when a warrior burst into the room. "Greetings Alpha Zane, greeting Alpha Selena. The warriors are ready for the attack."My eyes darted ac

    Rowan's POV"You like what you see?" he asked, his eyes darting to and fro and his shoulders slightly puffed up with pride."Well I must say, this is grand.""Well it is of course. You see, Alpha Darius was never a king of wants and desires. He chose simplicity, and he died so. Take a sit. "" A seat? "" Of course Rowan. You're my friend and it's only right you join me for dinner, " Nathan said, his eyes fixed on the drink before him. "This is the finest wine in the continent, and it would be a pity if I consume it alone. "What was the Beta up to? I hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do. "Beta Nathan I wish to decline this grand offer of yours. I've got some reservations.... "" Say no more, for a friend of Nathan must merry with Nathan. You've proven yourself worthy of my presence, so you deserve a treat, " Beta Nathan replied, raising his glass cup for a toast.I was beginning to enjoy his company. Great food!!

    Rowan's POV"Before this council I assure you that you would certainly have been released from your chains and enlisted as a warrior of this pack if you had succeeded in killing her," the beta announced.I swallowed hard at this revelation, still not knowing where the council were heading to."So you tell us that you took away her powers and she still lives?" one of the elders asked. " And how do you expect us to believe that?" I shook my forehead, not knowing what else to say to them."She died, my lords, I killed her personally in the battle," I heard a familiar voice say.All eyes turned to the direction of the voice.It was Raven, and I wondered what she was up to."She died, I struck her with my claws in her che Ist, and she let out a loud cry and stumped on the ground, " she said, her voice soothing and convincing.

His body crumpled on the floor with a sickening thud."Now what?" I roared, rising to my feet in rage."You're the Alpha, you have the right to give and take life," she replied. I stared at her for a moment, then I finally nodded, my mind reeling from the interruption. "Raven, I feel different, the wound hurts no more!! " I exclaimed, as I felt a new rush of energy all through my body."The healing process worked. It's power must be very strong. With this the entire werewolf race would be at your feet and you'd.....
