Selena's P.O.V.

The more the day passed by, the more and more Raven hounded me to go to the hunt. With eyes aglow with excitement, she would pop up at any time and ask whether I was ready for that big night.

First, I tried getting her off my back by informing her I had to attend to healer duties, but Raven was never one to quit and she'd only laugh it off, saying I needed a break, time to have fun.

The sun had just about set, and before me again was Raven. But now in her eyes flashed the sharp gleam of mischief. "Come on, Seer," she whispered throatily, "time to prepare for the hunt. I'll see you at the rally point in 30 minutes."

I blew a resigned sigh as resignation washed over me. At least, apparently Raven would not be content to let me avoid this hunting expedition, and quite honestly, I did feel a bit like the tide-being swept along.

"Fine," I said, aloud, in an effort to sound light. "I will meet you at the muster point. But do not depend on me for pulling a lot of weight for y

    Selena's P.O.V.Kael led me to the clinic, and I could see that Moonstone Pack workers were busy at work; the hammer on stone walls rang. The sound of sawing-chiseling, the scent of freshly cut wood and mortar wafted to the site.Kael nodded toward the great stone wall, upon which half a dozen laborers were well in hand, framing in the roof of the clinic. "We're making good progress, Seer," he said proudly. "The walls are going up quickly, and we should have the roof on soon."I bowed my head respectful to such skills and industry among these workers, while, at the same time, meanwhile, a boulder of no inconsiderable weight had been winched - with much taking of care - into its correct position. The countenance had buckled now in concentration as these men began their work.Others dug away- creating a well and laying pipes for plumbing the clinic as the ring of the earth as struck by the pickaxes rung in concert with the rumble of rocks that moved.As morning wore on, the sun beat dow

    Selena's POVI had a growl rising in my throat, but before words could leave my lips, a voice cut through our little tete-a-tete."Rowan, stop this!" Elara, Rowan's mother, swept onto the scene, her eyes ablaze with angry fire. "You're not of your right mind, son. The Seer is no threat to your rule."Anger twisted in his features, but Elara didn't move an inch. "Hear me, Rowan," she commanded firmly. "The Seer means something to the pack, and we stand in need of him. Just because you feel a little paranoid and jealous is really just not worth it.Anger flashed in Rowan's eyes, yet somehow, Elara had her words pierce through the blind rage. He breathed hard, and with a certain amount of time passing, the contorted face evened out to that mask of normalcy."I'm sorry, Seer," he said finally, gruff. "I think I might have overreacted."I nodded, yet remained wary. "It's okay, Rowan, but let's try keeping the communications open at least, okay?"Rowan nodded, and a smile spread across Elar

    Selena’s POVThe entire room went quiet and all attention was immediately directed back to Rowan. Sighing, Rowan relaxed into his seat, arranging the disarrayed papers on his table. I glanced at Raven who sat beside her brother, her gaze traveling through the elders. I knew that she stood by me but her voice didn't have the impact that I needed. I had to bring everyone else to my side. Lifting his eyes to meet mine, he exhaled loudly and leaned forward. "I know that there is something you're hiding Seer, and I know it is something deep if you're this willing to coerce and deceive the elders in your favor," he muttered, his gaze narrowed and fixated on me. "He's never done anything to deserve such accusations--" "Silence, Raven," Rowan shouted, his voice echoing across the room. "Your love for the seer has blinded you. You can't see what I see."My gaze shifted between Raven and her brother and I could feel the tension between them palpable. Raven's lust for me and Rowen's hunger f

    Selena’s POV"Take him away from my sight," Rowan commanded. The guards hesitated, exchanging uncertain glances as they thought on Rowan's command. They knew obeying their Alpha would be risky-they were well aware of what I was capable of doing. "You don't want to do this, Rowan," I muttered under my breath my hands dropping to my side as I silently prepared a myriad of spells in my mind. "You're making a mistake." "TAKE HIM!!!" Rowan shouted, his voice cutting through the tension, ignoring my warnings entirely. The wolves behind me growled, charging towards me with feral intent. Sensing the brewing danger, I lifted my hands, my lips moving swiftly as I chanted spells, the guards getting closer with each step. The room crackled with energy as my voice grew louder. The spells poured from my lips like a raging storm, causing the very air itself to shimmer and twist. Bright lights surged from my hand, twirling round my body like a snake on its prey. The guards upon seeing the sudd

    Selena's POV"Selena..." The name fell from Rowan's lips in a soft whisper, his voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and rage. The room fell dead still, the tension palpable as my name resounded in everyone's ears. I pulled Rowan's hands away from my hair-he no longer had his deathly grip on it-and stepped back, putting some distance between us. I half-expected him to lunge at me, scream or curse at me, but he remained frozen, his body rigid and his wide eyes locked on me as though he had seen a ghost. A faint smile played on my lips. "Shocked to see me, Rowan?" I asked, the smile growing as I shout out my claws and pressed then against his chin, digging it further until I saw them break the skin. Yet Rowan remained still, oblivious to the pain and the blood dripping down his neck with his gaze still fixed on me. My eyes left him and traveled slowly through the elders seated in their ornate chairs, their expression a mix of shock, disbelief and fear. Some shifted uncomfortabl

    Selena’s POVThe sky was just right, painted with the pink shades of dusk. The sun had just begun to set below the horizon and the moon's silhouette was becoming more visible, casting a soft silvery glow over the pack grounds. It's been three days since I stopped down my Seer alias and revealed myself to the pack. The elders after hearing Rowan's secret, deemed him not worthy enough to lead the pack. After much consideration, they decided to make me-the rebel, the deceiver and betrayer-their Alpha. Not that they had any other choice. A large ceremonial fire crackled in the center of the clearing, it's wood snapping loud as the flame roared in time with the steady, pulsating beat of drums. The pack members ringed around it in a circle, faces aglow from the light, their eyes wide and full of a mix of shock and confusion as most of them still couldn't believe the sudden turn of events. I stood at the center, my cloak billowing in the gentle breeze. My heart pounded, not from fear, bu

    Selena’s POVOur eyes met and a low, bitter chuckle slipped from Rowan's lips, the sound echoing down the cold, narrow corridor. He leaned back against the damp stone wall, his lips twisting wryly as his laughter died down. "So," he croaked after a while, heavy contempt lacing his voice. "Have you come to gloat, 'Alpha' Selena? Have you come to rub my defeat in my face?"I met his gaze squarely, not rising to his bait. "No," I answered calmly. "I did not come to gloat, Rowan. I came only to ask you a few questions."Rowan's smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he masked it so quickly with a scoff that I could have convinced myself I'd merely imagined it. "Questions?" he asked, his brow arched. "What could you possibly want from me now?""I want to know the truth," I muttered, my face void of any emotion. "I want to know why you did what you did."Rowan paused for some moments before laughing again, the sound empty and mirthless. His face clouded over and his smile faded as

"This is strange," he whispered to my hearing, his face turning serious." You dare call me names Karen!!"I pulled on my hair, looking down and sideways again. " Yes!! and I'll call you more if you don't step away from me this instant!!"I struggled to maintain the anger I felt over Zane and the extra bolts of action and emotional instability my wolf provided.Was I going crazy?"Karen calm down!!" Zane commanded again, taking forceful steps towards. " Come on now, you need some rest!!"I saw myself taking steps backwards against my will. In good times I'd be very willing to take steps towards him, getting lost in his embrace.I still wanted to, but I just couldn't do that, I couldn't see myself doing that.

    Karen's POVI knew I had to get some rest, had to let my body and mind recover from the turmoil of the day. And so, I made my way to my bed, my movements slow and deliberate as I climbed under the covers.I lay there, my eyes closed as I felt my body begin to relax. Sara's presence was still there, still simmering just below the surface. But I knew I could control her, knew I could keep her at bay.As I drifted off to sleep, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that tomorrow would bring its own set of challenges, its own set of battles to fight. But for now, I could rest.But my rest was short-lived. As I slept, I began to dream. And in my dream, I saw a figure, a female werewolf with piercing green eyes and a fierce determination etched on her face."You're playing with fire, Karen," she said, her voice low and husky. "Your plans will lead you to your grave, mark my words."I tried to respond, but my voice was caught in my throat. I tried to move, but my body was frozen in pl

    Karen's POVI stormed out of the room, my anger towering to heights as I had watched the one I love sink into the hands of one I tried to kill severally, Selena.I could feel my wolf within me stirring strangely, and this caught me surprise."Easy now Sara, I'm trying to think!!" I commanded my wolf, louder than usual. As I did that I raised my head almost immediately, turning around to look at the guard who stood post around me. Their eyes were at me at first, but they turned their head away as soon as my gaze darted through.My wolf continued to stir, prompting me to try and force her down, but she was having none of it."Quit it now I say!!" I roared again, placing my hand at my mouth almost immediately. My actions were beginning to be uncontrolled, and this added to my fear. What was going on?My face became a mask of fury, my eyes blazing with anger as I continued to move towards my chamber. Was the effect of my fall out with Zane beginning to way off on me?Shaking my head viol

    Rowan's POVI became desperate, my blood running fast as I took quick uncontrolled steps towards her."Look, your life lies in my palms," I began to say, signalling the warriors to let go of her hands as I stared deep into her eyes. "Tell me what to do, and I'll honor your stay here. "She gave out a loud laugh, her fangs visible. She looked deep into my eyes, squinting hers. "And how do you think I'll be interested in such an offer?"I was confused. " Wait, you hate your life?"She shook her head vehemently, taking steps away from me.Ignoring my question, she headed to the throne. The guards that stood with her were alarmed as they attempted to rush to her, their claws shot out, but I restricted them, watching her closely.She moved around strangely like one possessed of several wolves."You wish to fight against the principles of prophesy, Rowan, " she said, giving out a mirthless laugh and taking a quick turn to face me. "You'd lead yourself sooner or later to your own downfall."

    Rowan's POVWell, well, well," Kael said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. The great Alpha Rowan, risen from the dead."I aimed the knife at Kael, my eyes locked on his. "You're not going to be the new alpha, Kael," I growled, my voice low and menacing. "Not while I'm still alive."Kael's expression changed, his eyes narrowing as he realized I was a threat to his plans. He sneered at me, his claws shooting out as he gave a hissing sound"We'll see about that, Rowan," Kael said, his voice dripping with malice. "Let's settle this once and for all."I smiled, my eyes locked on Kael's. "I'm ready for you, Kael," I said, my voice steady and calm. "Let's end this."And with that he rushed towards me, his fangs shooting out and his eyes turning blood red. I stood still, a smile still flickering on my face. This would be a very short fight, and I knew it.He got to me, wiping his claws as I expected directly on the cut part of my hand.I smiled, releasing the knife I

    Rowan's POVI broke the surface, gasping for air, and that's when I saw them. Three giant crocodiles, their eyes fixed on me, their jaws open wide. They were heading straight for me, their powerful tails propelling them through the water.My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. I was trapped, stuck in the water with no way to defend myself. The crocodiles were closing in, their teeth bared and ready to strike.I knew I had to act fast, or I would be dinner. But my mind was a blank, my thoughts frozen in fear. I was paralyzed, unable to move or react.And then, just as all hope seemed lost, I felt my wolf surge to the forefront. It was a primal, instinctual response, one that took over my body and mind.I snarled, baring my teeth, and prepared to face the crocodiles head-on. It was a desperate, last-ditch effort, but it was all I had."We're gonna die!!" the flippant warrior screamed in panic, his eyes completely shot." You have to stay strong!!" I roared bac

    Rowan's POV"It's your turn, your majesty," Kael called out loud, and I couldn't help but notice a ting of envy and animosity lying beneath his voice.I shot a quick glance at him, noting with the moonlight how a flicker of smile had spread through his face. But was that the case or was I only seeing seeing things?I breath in real hard, turning to glance at the other two warriors standing with me. The faithful lad who helped tend my cut was ever scared, taking a step backwards and shivering in complete fright."You're the Alpha aren't you? Think of a way out of this mess!! " the flippant warrior chipped, running his eyes over me and taking fearful steps backwards all the same. I knew for sure he felt I couldn't win him in a fair fight with one hand chopped off.But he'd live to see that, or so I hoped."We must be strong, young ones," I managed to say. taking steps again towards the water bank. "If they on the other side could do it, then surely we can!!"I turned around to them, rea

    Rowan's POVI could feel the pain coursing through my body, but it was nothing compared to the shock and unbelief that I felt.How could this have happened? I was the Alpha, the strongest and most powerful werewolf in the pack. I was supposed to be invincible, not some maimed and crippled creature.I looked up at my warriors, who were staring at me in shock and horror. I could see the fear in their eyes, the doubt and uncertainty. And in that moment, I knew that everything had changed. I was no longer the invincible Alpha, but a wounded and vulnerable creature."Alpha Rowan!!" three of the young warriors among the rest of the warriors called, taking quick steps forward to me.As they walked up to me, I looked up at the warriors scattered before me, noting with pleasure that most of the old generation of fighters were killed in the just ended battle with mysticshadow pack.I still had a chance to the throne, a chance to control them all and lord over them.With expert hands and a sense

    Rowan's POVI had managed to rally my warriors back to my side, and as we trudged through the forest between mysticshadow pack and Redmoon back, my mind and thoughts travelled back to the words and prophesies of the werewolf I held captive."We must get to her... quick," I whispered to no one in particular, but my lead warrior caught the sound of my voice, as he ran towards me with utmost speed and devotion."To who, my lord?" he asked, his unusual aura of loyalty and complete devotion making me to turn to him with a quick glance."The prisoner," I replied dryly, halting at the same time. We had gotten to the river bank that crossed over to the boundaries of Redmoon pack, and noting the darkness of the night, I understood that if we were to cross over the water, then we'd do so with utmost care to avoid being eaten by the crocodiles. The warriors with me halted too, understanding the situation at hand."Warriors, If we must to cross this body of water, then we must do so with our liv
