SELENA'S POV

"Come," the Alpha said as our eyes met. He shifted to the side and gestured for me to enter the chamber. I stared at the room for some moments, watching the flame of the torches on the wall flicker as the a cool breeze swept from the hallway and into the room.

"Why do you want me to come in there?" I asked, pretending as though I didn't know the reason for his invitation. "Why do you--"

"It wasn't an invitation, Rogue, it was a command," the Alpha cut me off, his tone as sharp as a blade. The weight of the authority in his voice settled heavily over me, and I clenched my jaws, forcing myself to keep my composition.

"Sure," I whispered with a small smile as I walked towards the room. I knew u had no other choice. It was either this or I got the rogue treatment as the Alpha didn't seem like someone who would give two thoughts on such a situation-regardless of my being his mate.

I walked into the chamber, my footsteps muffled by the plush carpet beneath me. As I stepped

    "A wolf." "The rogue's shifting." The murmurs from the crowd around me had begun to intensify, making me much more disoriented. I looked around, trying to hold onto something as the entire room began to spin."What's going on?" I screamed as i looked down at my hands, watching as the hair on it began to grow. "What's happening to me?" Suddenly, a deafening silence fell upon the crowd-so quiet that I could hear each heartbeat. But something told me it wasn't the silence that caused it. I tried to speak when I suddenly realized that I had lost the feeling of my mouth and organs. I knew I still had them on but... it was different."She's turned to a wolf, a white one," one of the pack members shouted, confusion and shock etched in his voice."Look, the mark of the crescent moon," a shrill voice said. I turned to see who had spoken and found the priestess pointing at me before bowing down. Suddenly, Alpha Zane did the same and soon, everyone in the hall had their heads bowed down towar

    Selena's POVThe alpha stood there, staring at me, his eyes wide and unblinking, frozen in astonishment. "What do you mean, Selena?" he asked, disbelief and a hint of anger in his voice. "You're the answer to the plea of all, your abilities can take the entire werewolf race into a better place." He paused, taking his piercing eyes off me and staring at the werewolves behind. "All these werewolves gathered here...""....hoping that I would be executed," I said, interrupting him. "Yes, they really are here to see me scream in pain. They don't like me, they only like what I can do with the powers they think I possess." I was already in tears. I tried to stay strong in front of him, wiping the tears off my eyes. "If the stone had turned red, the whole scenario would have changed. I would be on my way to the beyond at the moment. " The tears were already pouring real hard. I couldn't control it anymore, my wolf couldn't control it. I cried, my face squeezing hard as I did. All the pain an

    Selena's POVWe remained in the infirmary, Zane providing the comfort that I needed. He was like a shield for me against all my pain. I looked down at my belly and my rage instantly renewed again. "He must pay," I repeated, my eyes blazing with intensity, narrowed into determined slits. "Who," Zane asked, drawing my hands to his. He stood up at that point, wiping tears away from my eyes. I gave no reply to his question, my mouth set in a thin, resolute line. I was getting more depressed, considering the fact that Rowen could be living the life of his dreams as the Alpha of a pack that didn't evenbelong to him. Thoughts of him kept me pained, making me to resolve deeply at getting my revenge on him. "Raven," I called under my breadth. "She too must pay."At that moment Zane stood up, drawing his face to me and staring deeply into my eyes. "I'm sorry, Selena, but I must leave now," he said, standing upright. "I'll be back.""I'm leaving with you," I said, my eyes on his."What do you

    Rowan's POVThe fire in the fireplace crackled as it rose, filling the entire room with a warm orange light. Shadows danced behind me as the heat in the room rose. I leaned back on my seat and turned to the painting that I had bought the other day, studying the intricate patterns on it when suddenly, the door behind me opened. "You called for me brother." I turned my head slightly and found my sister, Raven, closing the door behind her and slowly walking up to me. "Is there any problem--" "There's something I have to tell you," I said, cutting her short before she could finish speaking. "It's... something that I do not want to leave this room." Ravens brow knitted together as she crossed her hand, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and caution. She took a few steps closed to me, her gaze never leaving mine. "What is it, Rowan?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "You must keep this confidential, top secret," I continued, my eyes fixed sternly at her."I promise to

    Selena's POVI took in a deep breath, the wind coming from outside my new shrine blowing into the cave, causing my dress to rustle. I ran my hands over the wolf laying down on the bed in front of me. My hand glowed white as my hand came over his chest and I felt a power surge through me into the wolf. The light from my hands rippled through his body and he let out a soft sigh. I had healed his wolf. "May the moon goddess bless the day you stepped into this pack," he said, sitting up on the bed. "Thank you.""It's a pleasure," I said with a smile as I watched him come down from the bed and head to the door. "And don't forget to pass your compliments to the Alpha. He made all these possible," I added as I waved gently at him.My mood immediately changed the moment he closed the door behind him. It's been four months since I started healing wolves in the pack and my name had spread quickly like wild fire across the breadth and depth of the entire pack and beyond. Yet I felt incomplete

    Rowen's POV"Thank you," I said to the maid, watching as she picked up the tray that she had brought my food with and walked away. Sighing, I picked up the fork by the side of my plate and stabbed the meat in front of me with it.It's been three days since I revealed to my sister what was going on with me. She had sent word to a certain wolf in our pack that she believed could help, asking that he bring the news of my predicament to the wolf in Moonstone pack. We were waiting for his response. I plopped the piece of meat that I had cut off into my mouth and began chewing on it when the door in front of me suddenly opened. I looked up and found Raven entering the room, her eyes scanning the place. "There's no one in here," I said to her as I returned my attention back to the food on my plate. "The talk went well," Raven stated as she fully entered the room, shutting the door from the hearing of others. "He has agreed to help." My attention still on my food, I nodded as I cut out an

    Selena's POV"If I heard you clearly, you're here by the order of your Alpha, and you wish to secretly convey me to your pack?" I asked the man standing in front of me, my brows slightly furrowed. "Yes, my lord," he replied, his head bowed and his hand brought before him. A spell from the Pack's witch helped disguised me as a male whenever members of other packs come around for help. My true gender was a mystery to foreigners, as my pack members kept to their word that they wouldn't reveal my true identity to anyone, so I enjoyed the mystery that surrounded my reputation. "And what's the name of your pack again?" I asked him, noting his choice of dressing. "I was sent by the Alpha of Mystic shadow pack, my lord, and with me are the numerous gifts and presents he asked me to offer you," he replied, just as a guard brought bags of gemstones and carats of gold. He smiled as it was brought in, seemingly hoping that I would fall for all the brightness."Hmm," I grunted as I stroke my c

    Selena’s POV"You will act on his desperation," Zane said. I looked up at him, not sure of what meant by that."What do you mean? He's an established Alpha that would certainly address me as a male wolf," I replied, moving shifting a little so that I could see his face. "So how do I act on his desperation?""Hmm," he said, his eyes leaving mine for a moment. Returning them back, he asked, "tell me, what do you think he likes the most? What gives him pleasure more than anything else?"I stood up from my seat and walked very slowly to the other end of the room, my eyes staring into the empty space before me. "Power, money.... but mostly power," I said, staring at the painting of Zane's father, clad in armor and sitting on a horse. "What he wants the most is the desire to rule.""Power, you say?" I turned back and saw a smile spreading across Zane's face. "He can't be the alpha if his wolf is dead. Surely he can't, can he?""Of course he can't. He would be seen as a weak tool, unable to

    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. "Well, you have to keep to your words, Beta Nathan," one of the elders said, turning to face the beta with a knowing look.The beta cleared his throat, taking a lo

    Rowan's POV"Raven, you shouldn't have done that," I said, but she would have none of it as she ,snapped the servant's neck, making sure she had zapped life out of him before letting him go. 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.....

    Rowan’s povAs she worked, I could feel a sort of subtle energy emanating from her hands, one that had an effect on my whole being."You'll be strong again in no time my lady, strong to take after where you've stopped, " the healer chipped in rather cheerfully."Thank you Elara," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "You've been most kind.""I learned from the very best, my lady, now lay back and enjoy the rest of the morning. You'd be back on your fit, ready to heal the pack of it's bruises with your healing power and the help of the moon goddess," she said, grinning from ear to ear.Her last words struck me like a hot metal in my heart.I've lost my powers, and they didn't know that yet. Rowan's POVI felt satisfied at last. With Selena's powers I was sure to conquer not only her pack, but other packs in the continent and possibly the whole werewolf world. Slowly, I opened my eyes, wincing in pain as I did so. The bright light of the sun pierced through my brain, sending a ba

    Rowan's POVJust as I thought all was lost, I heard a faint voice, a voice that seemed to come from far away. "Selena, we have to get you out of here!" It was Zane's voice, and I felt a surge of anger. I heard the sound of fighting, the clash of claws and the snarls of the warriors. Zane and his warriors had arrived, and they were fighting to protect Selena.I was beyond caring. My world had narrowed down to a single point, a point of intense pain and darkness. I was vaguely aware of the battle raging on, but it was distant, unimportant.As the darkness closed in around me, I heard the sound of Zane's voice, faint but clear."He dared to take your powers?" he roared, then everything went blank again.Selena's POVI slowly opened my eyes, taking in my surroundings groggily. I noticed first the warm stream of sun rays streaming in through the window. In an attempt to clear the haze from my eyes, I blinked severally. Where was I?I shut my eyes again, trying hard to recall what happene
