‘Winter’

My fingers traced the lines of the word engraved on the mask as I drank liquor from the cup in my hands.

Ten years ago, I was still in the pack and was doing my strength training behind the side of the pack when I spotted Selene approaching me. The sight of her caused me to trip and I had broken an arm, but I didn’t acknowledge it.

I was focused on making an impression on the lady, so I held my aching hand while feigning a smile. She ran out of a meeting held by her father and mine and wanted to spend some time alone. That day was the first day we had the longest conversation and the day I fell deeper in love with her. She called me summer because it was her favorite season of the year.

I didn’t have a favorite season before that day; it was a nickname she teased me with, but it was all a ploy to get to me, but not anymore; summer died the day she betrayed me, leading to the birth of winter.

‘You are paranoid, Lucian, she can’t be, she’s smarter.' Escarno whispered, We were d

    Selene's POVThe sight of Emily in a blood-deranged cloth almost gave me a panic attack; the sight of the little girl in her arms made me think it was Ella at first until Joan walked in with a boy in her arms. There faces were coated with blood and I only knew who they were when I got the opportunity to get closer to them; it was the blind boy and his little sister. They were murdered mercilessly. While in a state of shock, I staggered backward; my heart palpitated even faster. The first thing that crossed my mind was Ella, my baby. I walked out of the room in search of her, just to make sure she was safe and whatever pandemic was going on in the pack, she wasn't a part of it.I rushed out of the tent, my weary eyes searching through every child in the pack, till I met Ella among the other children. I rushed her, and my desperate arms embraced her in a hug. I thought something must have happened to her.My body quivered as tears slid down the corners of my eyes.“Mummy, are you oka

    Lucian’s POV“You are not going anywhere.” I reached out to her hands again, this time with a stronger grip. She needed to admit it—that she had betrayed me again; she had to cover her tracks by killing those people; she must have had help and she didn’t want to say the name of the person.“Let me go, Lucian!” If we stayed here, we were going to wake the little girl up, and I couldn’t afford to do that; her presence would be an easy escape for Selene to leave, and I couldn’t let that happen. I pulled her away from her hut, then towards mine. I pushed her in, then locked the door behind; now she had no excuse and she couldn't escape me.“How much did she offer you? A position in her pack? Gold and luxury? She promised to give your child more than she is receiving here, right? spill it!l” I asked curiously; all she had to do was admit it, but she wanted to make a fuss about it, I was certain she was the one who did it.“Did you bring me out of the pack to crucify me, Lucian? If that's t

    Lucian’s POV"Nothing,” she lied through her lips. I had known her long enough to know when she was telling the truth and lying too, and as I watched the staggering lady barely holding on to her emotions, I saw a pathetic liar. She was a bad liar.“Joan, what did you do? I know you are lying so go ahead and say the truth.” “It doesn’t matter; the deed has been done; get over it. Not like it changes anything because she was in your room a while ago, so whatever I did was useless. Leave me alone, goodnight.” She stood up to leave but I pulled her body back to the chair.I saw tears forming in her eyes as she stared into mine; my heart fell into the pit of my stomach, not knowing what else to say. But I was on the verge of losing it; I wanted to know the atrocity she had committed.“I told her to stay away from you; that’s it. A day after I came back, I told her to stay away from you and that you belonged to me... You belong to me... Just me, not her. Why is it such a big deal?”My legs

    Selene’s POVI saw myself in the dungeon again, crucified like an assassin and Alex's cohorts fed me wolfsbane. Everything within me felt the terror of the liquid as it burned my flesh; the sound of my bellowing voice echoed in my mind as tears trickled down my eyes.I felt myself being dragged to the pile of dead bodies at the back of the dungeon.The stench of rotten corpses wafted above my nose. And just when I thought everything was lost, I felt strong arms around me.Lucian? I thought to myself before I jolted from the bed.My eyes popped wide open, my heart pounding like war drums. I surveyed my surroundings; everything felt normal. I was totally fine, and not only that, I was far from Alexander’s reach and my baby was lying beside me in good health.I cupped her chin, and I kissed her forehead; waking up to her was the best part of my day.I heaved a euphoric sigh of relief as I fell back on the bed. I wiped the teardrop in my eyes as I stared at the straw rooftop above me. My th

    Selene’s POVSuddenly, he cared about my health. Funny.“Ella, can you go and play? Mom and Uncle Lucian need to talk.” I dropped her down but she went ahead to hug Lucian before leaving. Her innocence was adorable.After making sure she was considerably far, I focused on Lucian, who stood gallantly before me.“What do you want, Lucian?Playing with Ella doesn’t change the fact that you were planning on executing her mother yesterday.”“I wasn't; I had my suspicions and I took them out." He said so passively; he couldn’t see his own wrong, and I wasn’t prepared to let him rub his cocky words on my face. I took a turn and I moved away from him just to have him blocking my path.“You haven't answered my question. Are you sick?”The closeness of his body to mine suddenly made me nauseous. I stepped back while trying to curtail the urge but it overwhelmed me the next second. I was throwing up at the corner of the pack. “I will get you something to treat yourself,” he said before turning t

    Lucian’s POVI was in conflict with myself and I had taken out the distress on the sheet of paper I had been trying to draw the new house plan on—nothing seemed good enough to suit the image in my mind without making it seem like I was doing her a favour. She must be sick because she wasn’t used to the harshness of the wild. The insects here were hybrid and the water wasn’t as purified as the one in the pack. I knew how hard it was for me to adapt to the foreign change of lifestyle and Joan was to thank for that.When I was resurrected by the goddess, my wolf had gone wild for some days and was in grave need of comfort and somehow I met Joan, who was a slave to a beta in the pack, she met me near the borders of the pack on one of her heists, and she had snuck me into the pack afterward.She kept me in a storeroom in the same room she was given to rest, and we shared the remains of her master's food for months. We developed a tight bond till we finally decided to start this pack togeth

    Lucian’s POV‘Kyle that bastard, out of all the females in pack , he chose Selene.' Escarno said, agitated by Joan's words, the sudden rumble of my wolf threw me off balance. Escarno didn’t find it appealing that she was being courted and I didn’t like the fact that a major suspect was with the other.“I knew it.” Joan concluded. “Don’t stress yourself; Kyle is not the culprit here, I am certain.”Funny how a word had ruined the enthusiasm I felt not quite long, and bitterness resided in my mind. I tapped my finger simultaneously on the desk as I tried to get my thoughts together. I could not let such a coincidence upset me. This time, if I suspected, I had to have enough proof rather than acting on impulse.But I hoped she wasn’t the cause of death, and she stayed true to her words this time. “It is well; let’s move on to something else, shall we? ?The expansion of the pack is necessary; we haven't made much plans about it.”I brought out the map of the territory we resided in, and I

    Selene’s POVI lay on the bed, my eyes curiously reading through each line of the book before me. I fought through the dizziness and weakness that I felt since there was nothing to do so far.Emily had told me to rest, and so did Lucian. Even if I protested, the pack members were going to pick me apart. It felt like all my blood had been drained out of my body, the pack members would pick me apart with their criticism if I stepped out.I had gotten to the middle of the book I was reading when I felt a familiar presence in the room; my body tensed. I turned immediately just to meet Joan staring at me.She had her back against the wall, her legs and arms crossed, her brows furrowed in a frown. Her visit was predicted, and after what happened between Lucian and me last night, I would say her visit was rather late.She had promised to cause harm to me if I made any advances toward Lucian and she must have come to make sure she fulfilled the promise, and if that was the case, then I wasn’t

    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

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 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

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

I succumbed to it.I saw a box car, it beeped continuously and then people gave way and some people came down from it.

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

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

    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 was still in the room, later that day, the weather didn’t look like it was going to be any better if I stayed longer than I should, and going out only seemed more dangerous by the second. I would consider staying for longer till the weather was more favorable, but I had to find Selene.I never considered calling an alarm in packs who I thought she might visit because I didn’t need people looking for her and holding her as ransom just like the rogues had wanted to do earlier when she told them she was from my pack.But if I can’t cover all the packs in a day like I plan to do after today, I would call an alarm. If I don’t find her, I would not be able to move over to the human realm. Not only because I might end up causing more damage than necessary, but because my heart called out to her, I just wanted to see her for a day before I leave.I held the necklace given to me by Elsa, it had quickly become my calming object in moments like this. I held it closer to me, twirli
