Lucian’s POV It was the first thing in the morning, and it was time to leave the pack, I needed to look for Selene today, and if I was fast on my feet I would be able to search through at least two packs.It was at least six o’clock when I walked out of the pack, I wanted to check the first pack I took her too when we went to get material to build her house, I had suspected she would be there all night, and if she was there she must have gone to the king to seek refuge to be kept as a rogue.Which would be very silly, because she would be murdered and be used as point of sacrifice, I dreaded this possibilities mostly because she didn’t know this, I knew Selene was smart but there were just some things that was beyond her comprehension.She wasn’t well traveled so she didn’t know the hidden policies of some certain packs like the gold crown pack, they accepted rogues to buy things from them but a king was once killed by a rogue who couldn’t stay under rule so eversimce they pack and r
Lucian’s POVI just sat there in disbelief, my hands rested on my chest that was threatening to explode with fright and disappointment, I should have come her instead.If I was just a day esker than now I would have her here, I was pirated with myself, and as I much as I hated to admit this. I blamed the fact that my body was too weak and I needed more rat than I normally did.“Is everything alright?” The Alpha asked.I don’t respond. I needed to set out for Joan, I never thought we would see each other again after the least encounter; but now I was looking for her, if I saw her, I would see Ella and Selene.Or maybe she had returned them to the pack.I didn’t know I was just confused and I needed some sense of liberation. I walked out of the pack and I walked back to the pack, without hesitation I drove out. Was driving back to my pack for two reasons, I was going back home in hopes that if I got back there I would see Selene and Ella.The dues of that little trouble maker running
Selene’s POV The next day wa she same thing, the usual loop of having to learn languages, how to say I need this and I need that, places I needed to visit, like malls to get more clothes, observation that is needed to to be made. And thing to do, and then it wa sight time and I was supposed to leave first thing in the morning because in three days the humans would be crossing into a new year in their calendar and I would need to be there in the party to Casper this criminal.Yes, that was his new name.And while Joan and I sat outside with Ella inside we had a heated day and now we were already exhausted from all the things we did all day.She held my knuckles and she kissed it when she noticed I wasn’t talking and she had been doing the talking.“I believe you.” She said, it was her first calm thing she had said all day and it meant a lot to me, I only nodded, and I stared down at my feet.“If I don’t come back on time, find Lucian, and give Ella to him.” “Hey don’t be negative, i
Selene’s POV They started to gather me, I soon became claustrophobic and it only made my situation worse because they started deafening closer I had never felt this perplexed in my entire life.Confused and worried that I might just hurt someone in panic made it worse but as Joan had said, we were not so different from this people, we were the same beings, we had the same form, two hands two legs one had clear skin.Intellect, if they had anything I had it too, and if there wa anyone who should be at an advantage it’s us, our wolves isn’t a liability but an ability, I thought to myself as I felt someone hands touch me, I flinched but the. I succumbed to it.I saw a box car, it beeped continuously and then people gave way and some people came down from it. They packed a metal things on the floor and the assured me to get on it, as much as I wanted to tell them owns fine and what was happening was natural I couldn’t convey it.So I let them carry me on the thing and they placed me insi
Selene’s POV I expected them to know right away that something was wrong but they started laughing, I had made a mockery of myself, like it wasn’t already bad enough.I prayed to the goddess to open the floor so I can jump in but she didn’t and they didn’t stop laughing, he took a naked and he wrote on it.*Are you okay? Don’t you have insurance to cover it up. 3ahat you said was sipped awkward.*I don’t know what it meant, and I saw that they were looking at me curiously for answers I melted into the car which was still on the road, “yes.” I said then closed my eyes, hoping that my answer somehow aligns with them dropping me off. I just wanted to find a hotel and then listen to the recording of Joan. Maybe I can learn more than just yea and no.The human sat close to me, he held my hands tight and I glanced back to me, I repelled his attention and closeness, I pulled my hands away.He said something which I didn’t understand, I just kept looking, soon the car came to a stop and the
Selene’s POV Why do humans bear the name of their profession, I am Selene healer, or I am Selene farmer. What else? Hi I am Selene inventor?If this ain’t the most silly thing I have heard all day.My outburst had the man staring at me like I had done something way out of line which in my defense, I did, I just laughed my ass out because his name sounded ridiculous, just like when Joan had said it for the first time.I still had my back against the bed and laughing had removed the max that filled my nose with the calming air.He took the board and he wrote something on it, *what is funny, did I say anything wrong* I didn’t know but with the look of concern on his eyes, I could tell he wasn’t entirely comfortable with me smiling the way I did.I didn’t know how to tell him, but since we were trying to understand each other in any way possible and he was doing a bad job having to write it on the board, I decided to ease the pain for both of us.I sat upright and I placed the mask on th
Selene’s POV Silence prevailed in our midst, just watching each other, and someone walked into the little room and told them to go back, which they did. I already had my dagger in my bag. If they were planning to put me here for any reason, I will not go down without a fight.My daughter was on the other end of the realm and I only came here to make a harmless exchange. And they were making a fuss out of it. It was so annoying and they were making me sick with all this drama.I imagined Lucian in this situation, what would he has be done if he was here, first he would have not entered the car, and secondly it would be bloody already and the thought of him only made me smile.I wanted to go back home, home to Joan, Ella and Lucian.I wanted to go back to where I wasn’t misunderstood, and maybe didn’t have to explain myself.The man before me walked over to the board which I had already damaged, if he wrote one more word on it, I would be convinced that he was slow.Yes that’s it, he w
Selene’s POV If I had known that humans had a way of communicating, I might have not worried so much about language barriers, but then again, it was a nice experience.I walked out of the ward with him beside me, the moment I stepped out eveyones eyes met mine, they questioned me with their eyes, and trust me I would have been worried if I listened to Joan.If I had worn the cloth she wanted me to wear the napkin that our believer target loved seeing on ladies, if people were looking at me suspiciously I would have suspected it was the reason.Now I was fully clothed and elegant as at that too, and if they wanted some sewing advice I would give them.With my chest held high, I walked out of the ward trying to avoid gaze with anyone who tend to stare for too long and when I was done, I was out and the healer who had offered to take me to the goldsmith opened his car for me.I entered and the interiors were classy, I knew most of our vehicles were fashioned from theirs, and seeing the
Joan’s POVIt was the night before Selene left and I had a panic attack, I had tried to be strong all along, but it was already catching up to me. She went to bed but I knew fully well that she wasn’t sleeping.No one in their right mind would have a good night's sleep in our current condition. Except for her daughter who had confessed to me earlier that it was all a game, her mother told her they were playing a game and they got to travel.Her smile was infectious and even thinking about how silly she was only made my night a little less suffocating.When I left the pack, I never thought there would be a time when I would be the one to sponsor this heist Selene wanted to embark on, nor did I for once think I would feel bad that she was going to be in trouble.She wanted to go on this mission which in my option was the best thing to do, but then again, it was dangerous and she needed more time to prepare.But it’s delusion to think I will everything in one day but there is a lot that
Selene POVI had tucked the box of cash into the closet, the healer was still in the room, and didn’t say much. We just sat there and I kept on looking for a way to tell him that we could go eat now and I also needed clothes.But first things first. It was food.I gestured while eating and he nodded. I walked over to the closet and I took took a wad of cash which I stuff into my purse, then I gestured to the door.He was now a friend I never thought I needed and he smiled back.We took the elevator down to the restaurant which was located in the hotel. It was fancy and trust me if I make it out alive I would make my pack as alluring as this, rather than bricks, I would make more glass buildings, it would be called the city of glass.He offered me a menu, which I scanned through. I didn’t understand the written words and there weren't any images, I was having a hard time searching through names that I could pronounce.That was the goal.Any food I could add the alphabets together, I w
Lucian’s POV They might be fifty of them, I could tell it was a small pack because of the size of their Alpha and how he stood, his wolf looked familiar too, the strip of white over the eye. I have seen it somewhere but I had no idea where exactly I saw it.“Do you know who I am? Go back to your pack now before I loose my temper.” I didn’t want it to get messy, but the pack leader had been so persistent he moved closer urging for a war.I could see the fear in his eyes. And it only comfirmed he didn’t want to fall short before his pack members. I turned fo the rest of the packs“I am not here to fight. Let me pass!” My pack members were already on edge and they were waiting on my command to fight, all my drivers were trained fighters I would trust them to take out the alpha.“If you don’t leave in two minute there would be a blood bath and you won’t leave to tell the tale.” I said again Escarno pushed he wanted to come out by all means and I roofed my legs on the ground trying to st
Lucian’s POV I had sectioned the pack members into a a group of fifty people each which meant I would be going back and forth four times, I made sure all the trucks were ready and for each truck we would have ten pack members in it.The pregnant ladies and the lactating mothers, then followed by teenagers, the road was bad so I needed to make sure they arrived at safety first, I had an inkling that the movement would raise curious brows but at the end of the day I would do anything to protect them.“You.” I pointed to the former guard at the Far pack, he walked over to me, his daughter wouldn’t leave without him.“Yes chief.” “You and your daughter will drive with me at the front,” I said. It was dnagerous to have a child at the front of the pack but she won’t let her father go and secondly she reminded me off Ella, they were about the same age and they had the same color of eyes.I met Alice who was also preparing her niece for the trip, she looked sane.“How are you doing?” I aske
Selene’s POV It was my second time conquering some of these human challenges, and I felt fulfilled by it. I might not be so far after all. At this point in time. I felt I could get anything I wanted if I put my mind to it, and also with the help of this man because somehow he had made everything easy and was easily the person who had made an attempt to talk to me.I bowed before him, and he did the same too he smiled at me, I would tell Joan about him.“Carpenter” I whispered, he nodded.“Selene Taylor.” We had a basic understanding of things, and it was really good. I didn’t want to let him go now, maybe for today. He was a healer just like me, just different realms. If he doesn’t have a wife then I would like to have dinner with him.I looked around for an object that could represent food but everything around here was sparkling and metallic.I felt uneasy, but the goldsmith walked out with a briefcase.“Cash?” I asked.He nodded, then opened the case, I saw their currencies bein
