Six years into a mildly loveless relationship with her husband the Alpha, Selene does everything in her power to keep the outside ears from knowing how much her relationship with the alpha was dying while she tried to care for her only daughter. She was a Luna with a rare disability; a crippled wolf, and would be considered useless as she could not defend herself in the presence of danger but she had countered her disability with selflessness towards her park members, but things take a drastic turn when Selene discovers how much of her effort was wasted on the wrong set of people. She found out her husband was having an affair with her older sister, which led to a severe retaliation of the Alpha on her little girl. Ella, Selene's daughter , experienced a traumatic sickness which led her to coma, while Selene was rejected and locked up in the park dungeon to die. But hope arrives unexpectedly when the Alpha’s brother, the man who had been rumoured to be dead, unexpectedly appeared to save her and her child, but not without a condition.
View MoreSelenes POV“Since when did you become a temptress? I thought you only understood the act of war.” I was curious as to how she had become an expert in two weeks of living the pack, she couldn't even wear heels when I first met her, she would have a bandage in her hands all the time, and to top it up, her voice was calmer than usual.“Well, I came to you because I knew whatever you did enticed Lucian, I wanted to be just like you.” Her head lowered in embarrassment, and so did mine. “ I am sorry.” I confessed, I didn’t want to tell anything after that, if she said as little as any kind word, I would tell her I was pregnant, and I might as well just ruin the day.“Whatever. Your name is Selene Taylor.” She said it in a language I didn’t understand, but I knew exactly what she meant, and I repeated it. It sounded foreign in my mouth, but I kept repeating what she said.“My name is Selene Taylor.”“There!”I gave her a resounding high five, and together we fell on each other's arms, laugh
Selenes POVShe made me stand from where I sat, then her hands brushed over my shoulder blades. She tried to adjust the collar of my dress, which was weird, Joan and I had different dressing styles, but I stayed put, not wanting to say anything, whatever she says goes.“We have all seen a pure-bred human, and we have adapted their dress and vice, but the man you are going to meet has a weird taste, it’s too wild and ancient.” All I knew was that this man she spoke so fondly of was a mafia, and he had found this third stone Lucian needed, and I had to bring it back so he wouldn’t think me to be a wolf.Right.Now fast forward to his type of dresses. I was offered quite a handful. Joan brought out some pieces of clothes, they were very little more like the size of a napkin, and she handed them to me.“Whats this?”“A skirt.”I had worn skirts, I know skirts when I see one, but this one wasn’t just a skirt, it was like a blindfold. I sized it up on my thighs, my face contorted in a grima
Selenes POVWe were finally done with eating, and it was time to learn the human way of speaking. We didn’t speak alike, they could not understand us and vice versa, except they learned to speak like us.Joan walked up to me with blank paper in her hands. She placed it on my thighs and then wrote a weird-looking thing on it. I stared at her drawing lines on it, they were all spaced and aligned.“This is the human alphabet, you don’t need to study it much you just need to know how they sound so you don’t lose your way there. Because their towns are way busier than ours, and it’s totally normal.”I nodded, and she tapped on one of the lines written there, she made a sound, and I repeated it, she touched another, and she made the sound, and I repeated, she did something where she pointed at both of them together, then made a sound with both of them combined.It took us about five hours, merging the alphabets and pronouncing them. After that, I was genuinely scared for my life, I was the
Selenes POVI walked back to the side of the truck, and I sat down there with a towel wrapped around my arms. My heart was heavy, I might have suffocated her with my overprotectiveness instinct. I recalled everything that had happened, from the time she had defended me when Alex laid his hands on me for the first time.She had thrown a fit when Natasha tried to act stupid, even when it was her birthday, she held me when I started crying, and after being locked up, she never spoke about her birthday, she didn’t question me when I told her we would never see her father again.She didn’t question Lucian, she didn’t say anything about who she was to her friends, she never spoke about her father's betrayal, and she would hold me at night.I had overlooked the fact that she was also struggling as much as I did, and maybe she was just too compassionate that she didn’t want to bother me, and I had unknowingly suffocated her with it.I lowered my head as guilt welled in my heart. I am tired, g
Selenes POVIn my dreams, I had Lucian in my arms. I had talked to him about everything—how we were on the wrong path and lied to all our lives. I had no idea he didn’t leave or the fact that I had troubled him about not telling me why he was sick just to figure out he was trying to protect my conscienceI didn’t know he sacrificed so much, and it only got worse for me to be with myself. I just wanted to see him again, to hold him and kiss him, to tell him I am sorry. In my dreams we reconciled, and we had made love and slept in each other's arms.Waking up to reality wasn’t as appealing as one would expect. I watched the top of the truck for a while before I heard Joan's voice outside. She was doing something with water, and Ella was involved in it too because I could hear her smiling and running around.My heart weighed a ton, and I pushed myself up. I stood up from the bed to welcome my daily responsibility. I had only today and tomorrow to train and learn everything I needed to kn
Lucians POVShe seemed perplexed by the thought of going to the pack, but she was the only ruler who I would trust enough to meet up with Alex and also come back with me, and with the new development of the death of the Fae queen he was liable to believe her to, she had to be the one.Her hesitation triggered me, I didn’t come all this way to convince her alone, I needed to go back to the Eclispe pack too, I needed the people to migrate from the pack, so when it was time to fight, if he wanted to come for my pack, he would notice he doesn’t have enough army.One thing about Alex: you can always count on his reluctance and his unprofessionalism to fault his judgment, and I knew he wouldn’t check on the well-being of the pack so he wouldn’t know the number of people there.“What do you say? Will you go? And secondly, you won’t be there alone. You would be going with me, just I would sneak in, and I will keep the pack too busy to see you take the members out.”“Out how?”“You are not go
Lucian’s POVI left the pack for a day now, and it was three weeks before everything would go south, I spent a whole days trying to rest enough to travel and I had to spend it in a tent outside the pack with a book that would help me go through the phases of poison.First it was the phase of pain, second was the hallucination, then the slow aggression and uncontrollable anxiety and panic, but there was something that happened when I killed Julian and it was blacking out, and rage.I had only felt it when Ella’s gift was destroyed by that bastard but I never felt it again, but after the threat Alex made and the idea that Selene was somewhere out there, losing control would be the last thing I needed, so I took due rest.Fast forward to a day after I was standing just at the borders of lilac pack, her wolf were hostile as usual, not letting me in, I stood on both feet unable to shift, Escarno was the most unstable now, depressed and angered by the loss of Selene it was taking both of us
Selene’s POV We were done eating when Joan was ready to leave, she packed some bags and handed me a dagger. She also volunteered to carry Ella on her shoulders while I did some of the heavy lifting. I didn’t protest.“Where do you stay?” “I bought an RV and sold my truck. I live in an RV, it’s modern, the latest there is, and I can also travel rapidly with it. But I can’t bring it here mostly because the road leading to most packs is bad.” Living in a car she kept proving how courageous she was. It was already hard enough staying in a vicinity where other wolves are because it was prone to attacks, but not so bad that it cannot be combated with multiple help.Living alone was dangerous because there is no one there. If four wolves mark her for attack, they will bruise her and she can’t go on four wolves at once.“It’s dangerous.” “At least I am free, and far away from interaction, that’s all that matters.” We walked through the market without a scarf and I watched as people regar
Selene’s POVI stood arms crossed in front of the house, the pressure almost weighed me down. Joan was selfish for this, she carelessly left me here knowing I was the reason why the guards were beating people up.I bit my fingers while trying to stop myself from panicking but it did so little with the level of anxiety that took charge of my mind.What would I tell them? That it wasn’t me? Should I cut my hair and claim to be a citizen? Who am I kidding? I do not have the markings of their pack, I do not have their scent, I didn’t stay long enough, I do not have enough excuses, and what do I say about Ella?I fit the description totally, a blonde lady who has a little girl in her care. I refuse to let Joan’s carelessness lead the king to behead me.My weary eyes looked for escape, the borders must be closed, the pack was shut down, or maybe I could run through corners and hide in a house that had been searched.No that’s stupid, the pack members can’t be that stupid, no one would lay t
Selene’s POV “Mom, where’s Dad? You said he’d be here before my birthday started, but I can’t find him anywhere,” Ella whined, tugging on the hem of my dress. Her big, tear-filled eyes stared up at me, searching for answers I didn’t have. The weight of guilt pressed down on my chest. Crouching to her level, I prepared myself to tell another carefully crafted lie. “Baby, Dad called. He said he’s on his way,” I murmured, trying to sound convincing. Her little brows furrowed. This was the second time I’d spun this tale, and I could see the doubt creeping into her innocent gaze. Still, she clung to a fragile thread of hope. “You know your dad wouldn’t miss your birthday, right? You’re his little princess, his favorite girl in the whole world. He’ll be here.” I stroked her soft hair, pressing a kiss to her forehead. She nodded, but the sadness in her eyes remained. “Okay…” “Why don’t you go play with your friends?” I said, forcing cheer into my voice. “They’re waiting for you, and I ...
