Lucian’s POV

I was reviewing the architectural design of the new building I had in mind. After today's market activity, I had found more than I had bargained for, including more sophisticated tools and materials.

Just the thought of building something so modern with my bare hands was so thrilling. And as I did all this, somehow I occasionally thought of her reaction to it—not that I cared, I just wanted to see how happy she would be to see the new house. With the plan drawn on my sheet, it was certain that her building was going to be unique compared to mine and others, it was enough to buy her loyalty for a while.

Earlier today, when we went to the market, she was unusually happy. I saw how she smiled at everything new, and while I was away searching for materials for the new building, I found myself reminiscing on the moment I caught her smile.

‘She has the most beautiful smile.’ Escarno broke the silence in my mind, and I found myself frowning at his interruption.

    Selene’s POV A brand new day... It was safe to say it was the first time I woke up in the pack without even the slightest hint of sadness in my mind, for the first time in a long time. I was looking forward to the day. There were a lot of reasons to be happy, reasons like training and becoming stronger. The possibilities of talking with my wolf today and saving the best for last, the fact that I had made friends with Joan, were the most exciting of them all. I never held her acceptance as paramount until now. She was part of the reason why I didn’t feel welcomed. I wanted to ask how she felt after yesterday, and maybe we could try out something new today. I was excited when I woke up, and I played with Ella who was still sleeping. I blew air on her stomach, and it made bubbly sounds. She began to laugh in her sleep, then woke up in the process. “You are now a caretaker to multiple bunnies, you should go and check them and see how they are doing,” I said to her. She was reluctant,

    Lucian’s POV It’s funny seeing her laugh when no one's watching. It was the most bizarre sight I had seen in my entire life. With every waking day, Selene had a way of making me question her, if it wasn’t about something threatous, it would be something so absurd. I watched her dance and sway around while pretending to hold onto someone. I never saw her as the type to like dance, she was never at the pack ball, and even when her father was crowned the official beta across all the branches of Eclipse Pack, it was one of the biggest celebrations hosted by my father and she wasn’t here. I suspected she didn’t like parties and as a result of her absence, she would lack the basic knowledge of dancing. Obviously I assumed wrong. It was too early to start trailing down memory lane, so I walked up to her, trying my best to make sure I made her know I wasn’t in support of her shenanigans, this was a training ground, not a ball. She had all the opportunities to host balls while she was stil

    Lucian’s POV I carried her in my arms till we got to the pack. My appearance in the pack had everyone staring and eager to know what happened. They gathered me like a swarm of bees, making the path that led to the healer ward crampy and it pissed me off. “Move away!” Kyle yelled as he pushed the pack members away from my path. I took Selene to the healers' ward, then I placed her on a bed. Emily was nowhere to be found, even though the pack was already in turmoil. “Emily! Where are you? Emily” My mind was running wild, it felt as though the world was coming to an end, and my heart was just seconds away from an explosion. 'Lucian, don’t let her die. Lucian, don’t let her die. Selene can’t die.’ Those were the words going repeatedly through my mind, my mind was in a haze. I had no idea what resulted in her being unconscious, if it was my fault or not. Either way, I needed an answer. ‘Emily!’ I yelled again as I ran through the pack in search of her. Where in the goddess name did

    Lucian’s POV Emily and Joan were seated when I walked back into the hut so I took my seat just before them. My face fell on my palm as I tried to regulate the amount of things in my mind right now. ‘She can’t die, I can't fight the bond alone. Do something to help her.’ Escarno said in a haste, but I ignored. ‘I will be in immense pain, we can’t control the pack in a state of depression. I will lose control. I might never recover.’ Perplexed by the thought of losing myself along with her made the moment more tragic. Not just that Ella would crumble. I had never made a promise I never fulfilled and Selene's death might result in my first failed promise. “What’s the stats? How is she doing?” I asked Emily, who was now sitting down and flipping through the book on her thighs. “She’s in a coma, that’s all I can say. Her vitals are good, but I don’t think her brain is giving any signal to wake up, it’s simply in a state of rest, and her heart isn’t pumping blood as much as it should.

    Selene’s POV Perspiration ran down my body. I had run so fast and so much that I had no control over my legs all I did was run. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and on my third sprint, I could hear the simultaneous thud of my heart. I was breathless, and my legs were giving out in sheer distress. Lucian was merely looking at me running back and forth, and since he hadn’t commanded me to stop, I suspected he was watching me go back and forth to check my resistance level. My legs were growing weaker and mildly stiff, but one more second wouldn't hurt. One more sprint and I was certain I would fall to the floor and probably lose my life in the process. I touched the tree, and as I turned to run back to where I had started running from, Lucian blew the whistle, and just like I had been compelled, my legs gave in, and I fell to the floor immediately. The world spun around me, my heart threatened to explode in my chest and I began to hyperventilate. I didn’t want to stand up from

    Lucian’s POV I was on my knees in my room, and I had the spell book before me; my eyes were focused on the page containing the words I was to recite. I had told everyone to stay away from the room for at least seven hours, and the only person allowed to enter afterward was Joan. And she was only able to enter after seven hours, which was first thing in the morning. Ella was secured in her room, kept under the intense watch of four guard wolves. Joan had also volunteered to keep watch on Selene just to get a report of the progress , she knew what I wanted to do, and for the first time she didn’t protest or make me see things from a different perspective. I placed my head on the pages of the book just as it was directed, and then I began to mutter the words I was supposed to recite. I was supposed to mutter it till I felt something out of the ordinary. I had recited it more than twenty times non stop till the moon goddess deemed me worthy of her listening ears, and when the wind sta

    Selene’s POV I felt an alien weight on my body, pushing me to the bed, it was still , hard and warm. My eyes fluttered open in a slow and steady pace as I tried to comprehend the situation of things, there was a division before me refracting the peaks of light in the room. I had only realised it was someone's fingers on my face when I noticed a body sitting closely on my face. I moved it, letting it fall. It was no surprise that I finally had the ability to move my body, because I knew Estel was done with whatever she was pursuing. I moved my body, and I pushed the weight off me, heaving a sigh of relief I sagged back on my bed. Too tired and extremely thirsty, it felt like I was left in a dessert with an inability to die. The thought of death was nostalgic it sparked something inside me. ‘Kyle!’ I thought. I jerked from the bed in a hurry, just to meet two lifeless bodies on the floor, it was Emily and Joan, lying in a pool of their blood, my heart skipped a beat, I rushed to th

    Selene’s pov It was a dream, but I saw Emily walk into the room. She was the first lady I saw when I woke up. She had a tray of drugs in her hands, and even though I had just healed and displayed something absurd, she sat beside me and talked to me. She never asked me about my wolf or treated me any differently which was a gesture I wasn’t really familiar with. She made me believe I could have other friends. In the pack, she was there to always make me smile even my sister wouldn’t treat me the way Emily treated me. She was a gift to me. She was the reason why living in the pack was bearable. Now she is dead. When she entered the room again, I held her and I cried in her arms. I knew it was a dream, and my mind had only created this scene so I could bid her farewell. "Emily, I am sorry I couldn’t save you. I tried,” I said. She wrapped her hands around me, and she kissed my hair, she didn’t say anything, till I couldn’t feel her in between my hands anymore. I was hugging thin

He had tried to ask me about my family, which I told him about.Joan properly educated me on my supposed origin, and I did the rest myself. Now that was over, it was time to get my life ready. Casper would be at his home now, probably accepting visitors.Joan told me the celebration wasn’t like ours, it was an overnight thing, where they celebrate on the given day to the next year, and it meant I wasn’t going to have a good sleep either tonight.Now I was standing before the mirror with a bag on my shoulder that could barely hold anything in it, it had barely anything but some ward of cash, but very little to nothing. Not even enough space for a lip gloss against the cold. It was almost useless, but I was recommended it in the store when I went to get clothes, and Joan had recommended these kinds of dresses to.Now I stood there knowing if I

    Joan’s POV With the man on the bed and my legs crossed, I watched him get treated, if Selene was here, he would be walking like nothing happened in less than thirty minutes.It was suffocating not being able to reach out to her, and to make it worse, she had to come back today or tomorrow else Lucian would lose his mind. It kept on coming back to me, it was the first time I lied to Lucian about her wellbeing, and I had dragged this little girl sleeping in my arms. I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. I needed to clear my mind before I combusted.“Mate.” My heart sprang with delight as I turned to the merely empty corridors of the ward, and that was when I saw a man standing there, he had his hands in his pocket. His hands waved at me.The bond shimmered in our eyes again, and my grip on Ella’s body tightened. I feared I would drop her if I wasn’t careful enough."Hi,” he said."Hello,” I responded, barely able to hold a proper smile.He wasn’t just any man, he was the

She wanted to ask me if I was the one that Lucian loved. I wasn't but I was willing to harness the privilege.While I sat there thinking about Lucian and all he was going through, Ella played with my hair.“Joan I wanted to tell uncle Lucian that mummy wasn’t around, that she wasn’t back in the truck but I didn’t.” I patted her head.“You are a really smart girl, don’t worry your mom will be back in two days.”“Uncle Lucian would be back in two days too,” she chirped in, I nodd

    Lucian’s POV I wanted to go to Joan’s reserve and take Selene, but Joan volunteered to go. I didn’t know how to feel today. I was excited and I was optimistic.Selene was found and fine. Same with Ella who was nope resting on my chest, she refused to let me sleep alone, and after sharing the same room with her at night. I didn’t know what peace felt like till I woke up after last night.I didn’t have a nightmare. The pain that came with my existence didn’t seem so bad after all and this early just crawled on my chest and just laid there.“Uncle Lucian, are you sick?” She asked.“Yes.” I said.“Mom told Joan that you are sick and you don’t want her to heal you.” Yes Selene would say that, but how does she think she could save me, if she does she would take my position and she would die, somehow she didn’t think about that.“Mom would be sick if she heals me, so I have to keep her safe.” I said in the plain way possible, Ella went quiet for a while, I looked at the wall clock, lilac w

    Selene’s POV I surveyed the surroundings, the guards stood at the gates watching me with a curious eye. Like it was some kind of thief.They look pretty normal, but then again I would ask who is a known thief being glorified like this, can he be apprehended? Or ch asked out of the state if he can’t be apprehended by rehab rulers of the city, everyone knew he was a thief he was a thief and they still let him leave.I checked the sides. People were moving freely along the side of the street but I was the only one who had remained stagnant, and one of the guards had proceeded to walk toward me.I didn’t move, I let him walk to me and stand before me.“What are you doing here young lady?” He asked if he grabbed my hands, no one touched me like that, I felt violated. But in a space of things this man was bigger than me, he could apprehend me if he wanted.“I am new to town, saw this place and it looks beautiful.” I said and they shoved me backward, I stood my ground if step was here and

    Selene’s POV After listening to what Joan recorded, I didn’t know how to react to the feeling in my heart. It was beautiful, it was painful and as I listened to it over again I could tell she was holding tears from falling and it made the moment even more beautiful.Joan’s as everything.The record lasted for about seven hours,till she finished an entire book. I stayed up all night deranged in tears as I wrote the full sentence down.By noon I could finally say something, and I could understand some of the things the doctor had said throughout the day. And as embarrassing as it sounded I might as well have been stupid all this while because most of the things he wrote on the board I could finally pick them up.He did so much to talk to me, and I had used my literacy to stress him out, so today I wanted to love around town, I would visit the mall where I will be getting my clothes and I would visit the hospital where he treated people.At least I knew his name.

After so much screaming and shouting we noticed we were viewed as odd in the pack and everyone was looking at us weirdly.I walked up to one of the pack members. “Where’s the chief? Did anything happen to him?” She waved her head. “The chief went to drop some of the pack members at the crescent pack, where the new female Alpha just took one be from her father, we are all going to stay there for three weeks.”Pike…Relief coursed through me, like a calm breeze it soothed my flaming skin. I staggered backward, Ella held me down, she stretched her hands for me to carry her which I did.I didn’t know if I should go to lilacs or just stay here and wait for him, it would be hectic going back to lilac pack mostly that I wasn’t going alone. So I de

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
