Selene’s POV

His hard palm came crashing on my face, fast and hard, immediately sending me to the floor. I shuddered as the pain spiralled through my body, the room rotated around me, and I felt nauseous. I had tried maintaining my composure, but I vomited right there; half of it’s content was blood.

I was pulled to my feet and pinned against the wall; my hands were held apart beside me; a guard brought out a dagger and shoved it into my palm; therefore, pinning my hands to the wall, a blaring scream escaped my lips.

The same action was done to my other hand; I could not take it anymore, and I let myself cry. I could not move my hands, and the silver knife burnt my skin. Alex held my jaw up; he passed a menacing grin towards me, but in mere seconds my vision blurred with tears.

"Oh, Selene, you wouldn’t have gone through this pain if you had answered, but somehow you found a way to complicate things for yourself. Now I will ask you one more time, Where is your daughter, and who is you

    Selene's POV The pain was nonexistent for a blissful minute; I couldn’t feel anything anymore. I saw my daughter in the playground; she was going up and down the seesaw. I could hear her laughter echoing in my mind. She looked so beautiful.I remembered that day; she just had her hair done, and she was excited to show it to her friends in the pack. I added ribbons and flowers while styling it. She felt like the Alpha’s daughter that day, and I could already tell from the look in her eyes that she was proud of it.‘Mummy! Come, join me!’ She ran towards me, her little hands holding one of my fingers, She tried her best to pull me towards the seesaw; it was too small for me, but I didn’t tell her because I wanted her to be happy, so I sat on the other edge, I used my legs to propel us up and down, and while I found it so inconveniencing, I couldn’t help but hear adore her giggle. Slowly, I was brought back to my reality.‘Hang in there, Selene, don’t sleep, stay awake!’ My wolf said

    Selene's POV 'Breath,’ a melodious voice whispered beside my ears.A sudden urge to breathe engulfed me, and as a wave of air coursed through my nose, my back arched on a hard surface. Air forcefully passed through my nose and mouth. Shivers of relief eluded me; my body felt instantly cold like I had been trapped beneath a snowstorm, yet I felt as light as a feather falling freely from the sky.My heavy eyes and lips felt burden-free, my skin didn’t feel inflamed, I felt like an infant coaxed in the warmth of its mother, I felt alive again like I had woken up from a deep slumber, the strange feeling was surreal, and I contemplated what was going on.My eyelids slightly opened just to witness a blinding ray of light that threatened my vision. I closed my eyes again, then gently opened them. I took the light in till I was finally comfortable enough to look without being repulsed by the light. I noticed the wooden rooftop above me, and the first question that surged my thought was.‘Whe

    Selene’s POV It had been two days since I was locked in this very room, barely moving or saying anything.The only time I talked with anyone was when the pack healer came in with her usual dosage of herbs; she would force me to take it because she felt whatever must have happened might reverse, and it might be the goddess giving me time to heal before she took away her blessing.I was fed herbs and meat constantly, and I was made to view outside the pack from a small opening at the side of the tent that I was placed in. It had also been two days since I felt my wolf last; I didn’t dare to confide in the healer; I couldn't afford to be stigmatized because of it; everyone would treat me differently if they knew my wolf was dead.A gentle knock on the door pulled my attention to the presence of the healer, who had just found her way into the room. “How are you feeling today?” She asked with infectious enthusiasm, and I found myself smiling back at her.“Better, how’s my daughter?” Her

    Selene’s POV It was chilly outside, the sun had gone down, and everywhere was mostly dark. The pack members had lit a bonfire in the middle of tents but it did so little for me, as I was mostly isolated. All I had to keep my company were the sounds of gossip told by ladies outside, the cheers of children playing with each other, and a flickering light that casted shadows. I let my imagination wander as I tried to form creatures with shadows. I formed monsters with horns with my fingers, I made them eat, moved them around, then tried to make them mimic the voices of the ladies laughing and talking outside, but it did so little for me, it barely made me laugh, no matter what I did, it wasn't just fun at all. I sighed then laid back on the floor, contemplating why Lucian wasn't back yet, or why he chose to bring me into his pack as a rogue? And what was taking them so long at the other packs, the people already had so much hope in him, it would be hard to convince them to look arou

    Selene's POV I knew I would be damned if I didn’t pull away. His fingers tightened around my waist, pulling me in closer, and every fiber of my being screamed to end this—now. I closed my eyes and broke the kiss. He didn’t let go easily. His lips brushed my forehead in a soft, lingering kiss that made me tremble.“I thought I had lost you,” he murmured, his voice rough, and I could feel the weight of his words. “I thought I would never see you again.”I was stunned. Confused. I had no idea what was happening or why he seemed to adore me all of a sudden. This was our third meeting in six years. And the first two times had been in the dungeon when I was dying. Well, the current situation isn’t any better... It just made no sense. This wasn’t Lucian. He was not supposed to show any sympathy towards me at all.I studied his face carefully, searching for answers. He looked dizzy and exhausted, still wearing the remnants of his battle with injury. Though his bruises had healed, he didn’t l

    Lucian’s POV “Ooh…” She climaxed while I was stroking her; my body shuddered as I felt ripples of flames spiral down my body; the sound of her low melodious moan was the bane of my existence. I had never felt anything as intense as staying close to her or being inside of her.I didn’t want to leave her, but she was as fluid as the air around me; she slipped away from me so swiftly and diligently that I tried to grab her, but she slid through my fingers like air.“Selene, come back, Selene! Selene!!!”I shot up from the bed, my heart hammering in my chest. My frantic gaze scanned the room, desperately trying to anchor myself in reality. There was no one here.I collapsed back onto the bed, my body heavy with exhaustion.“It was just a dream,” I muttered under my breath, scolding myself.She was getting into my head; I could feel it. It was far too early to be rattled by her, but my mind couldn’t seem to quiet down. What the hell was wrong with me? I had come too far to let a damn bond

    Lucian’s POV So many questions taunted my mind. I wanted to ask her what she saw or if I had embarrassed myself in any way, but I couldn’t get myself to do it; it was unnecessary.I had to believe if I had shown any sign of weirdness, she would have told me already. I refused to let her get under my skin, so I straightened my clothes, then stood gallantly, pretending to be totally unaffected by my thoughts.“Next time, make sure you get my attention before you intrude in such a manner; it would have gone bad. In such a state, I barely recognized anyone; my wolf crashed out; I was vulnerable, and you intruded. I would be aggressive and you would be dead, so don’t do it next time, at least not without my attention.”She responded with a nod.Defeated by her silence, I took a seat close by. For six years I had painted this moment, both of us in a room, all alone. I wanted to ask her what she gained in deceit. Why she took her time to visit me in the cell and make promises to run away wit

    Selene’s POVIt felt like my soul was being sucked right out of me the moment I set my eyes on her. I fell to her bed and then fondled her frail body. She looked pale and almost lifeless; her eyes were closed shut, and I could see the traces of tears in the corner of her eyes; she was crying in her sleep. I could only imagine what she was seeing while still in a coma; maybe it was the last memory of her father acting so cruelly.“She calls for you in her sleep.” Said Lucian calmly.I felt my heart break into a million pieces all over again. The last time I held her, she was crying in my arms; her body was hot, and I feared she wouldn’t make it out alive.“I believe you can heal her if you put your mind to it. Over the years, wolves who had been granted a second chance, mostly as spiritual healers, were able to heal people they were connected to, maybe family, or out of sheer kindness. If you can do it again, she will wake up,” Lucian said.My insides ached with pain; my wolf was cold

    Selene POV Lucian stood before me with a plate of food. His face was less grumpy and soft. I didn't know if he was acting or just being good to me for goodness sake."Here, eat this. You missed your lunch which shouldn't have been." He dropped the plate in front of me, his tone strict."I thought you promised to eat properly from now on? You shouldn't go back on your words, Selene. It is not good for your health to skip meals," he scolded."Did you come here to give me food or argue with me because I feel you came for the latter.""Don't turn this into a fight, Selene. You did wrong by skipping your meal. I have every right to be angry at you for neglecting what's important to you.""I didn't do it on purpose. It's not like I had a choice..." I defended myself but he cut me off with a slam on the table."You had a choice, Selene. We agreed that no matter what, you will stick to your eating routine for efficient training. Don't give me that excuse of not having a choice," he muttered

    SELENE'S POVAs I sat in my quarters, surrounded by the comforting scent of old books and the soft glow of candlelight, I was deeply engrossed in the pages of my worn leather-bound book of herb remedies, the intricate illustrations and detailed descriptions of various plants and their medicinal properties a soothing balm for my frazzled nerves. The sound of a gentle knock at the door broke the spell, and I looked up to see Donald, a member of our pack, standing in the entrance, a small, neatly wrapped package clutched in his hand. He smiled hesitantly, his eyes crinkling at the corners, as he approached me. "Selene, I brought you something," he said, his voice low and rough, as he held out the package. "I made it myself. It's a scent leg cream. I thought you might find it useful."I took the package from him, feeling a surge of gratitude and appreciation for his thoughtful gesture. "Thank you, Donald," I said, my voice sincere. "That's very kind of you." As I unwrapped the package,

As the days went by they required more care which was a little bit tasking thus by the time I got home,I fell head first into the warm,cozy comfiness of my bed. I was having a weird dream where I was able to actually best Lucian in the training field! I really loved the surprised look on his face and was just about to tease him when a loud knock on my door jolted me out of my sweet dream. “Who was that now?" Grumbling,I grudgingly rose up from my bed with my eyes still heavy with sleep. Opening the door I was surprised to discover Lucian at the door. It was still early morning with the sky still dull. Heck,the sun was not even out yet!However,with one look I knew why he was here, dressed up in training gear he was here to call me out for my usual training. “Come in.” I said as I turned back inside but before I could go far he spoke up. “No need for that,I came her so that we can

    Selena's POV Tonight's sky was breathtakingly mesmerizing! The twinkling stars in the clear sky were simply enthralling,coupled with the sharp chirping of crickets and the cool night breeze, it created an ambience that felt relaxing. Clear,cloudless nights like this were a dime in a dozen as most of the time clouds blotted out the sky. They were especially great for telling stories as they made the whole feeling more….immersive.Under one of the many Magnolia trees that littered the pack grounds an old man could be seen narrating a story to a bunch of kids. He was old Alfred one of the oldest members of the pack,once a great warrior an injury he received had made him feeble. Now he was a guardian of the younger generation guiding them forward.Clearing his throat he started his story. “ A very long time ago…”" How long ago pa Alfred?" One of the kids interrupted with a curious expression. " Hoho,long before even I was born, but let's get back to the story . So where

    CHAPTER 115SELENE'S POVAs I stood amidst the bustling activity of our pack's farm, my eyes couldn't help but wander to the figure of Lucian, his muscles rippling beneath his sleeveless shirt as he labored to construct the new greenhouse. The sun beat down upon his back, casting a sheen of sweat across his skin, and I felt a flutter in my chest, a sensation that I promptly suppressed with a surge of irritation. Why must I always find myself drawn to him, even after the argument we had just shared? And to make matters worse, he had teased me mercilessly about my appetite that morning, his eyes glinting with amusement as he watched me devour my meal with gusto. I hated that he could still affect me so, that he could still make me feel like a foolish, lovesick child.Determined to put Lucian from my mind, I threw myself into my work, focusing intently on the task of planting the new crops. The feel of the cool, damp soil between my fingers was calming, and I lost myself in the simp

    Chapter 114Lucian’s POV“Do you want more?” I asked Selene.“And I think you might want to slow down a bit Selene, the food is right here in this tent. No one's coming in to take it away from you.” She was taking in everything at a speed I feared greatly might end up requesting the presence of a healer.She glared at me. “Are you mocking me, Lucian?”I raised my hand in protest. “I wouldn't dare.” I thought to myself, I'm just trying to help, but I guess that's not how she sees it.She nodded, as if content with my reaction. “Better.”“And besides, what are you still doing here in my tent?” she added. “Waiting to see if you'd want more,”She scoffed. “I think I've had enough, thank you.” Her tone was polite, but I could sense the underlying tension.I nodded, feeling a pang of awkwardness rose in my chest. Was this ever going to end?“Alright, I'll leave you to rest then.” I stood up, my eyes meeting hers for a brief moment before I turned to leave.As I stepped out of the tent, I w

    Lucian’s POV I was sharpening my dagger in my tent when I caught sight of Selene walking like she was being chased at the same time sniffing the air like a dog. I didn't know when I stood from my seat and followed her, my lips stretching into a smile of delight when she finally came to a stop in front of the royal kitchen. Cravings. She definitely had a craving. What solidified my resolve was the face she had made asking the chef for meatball subs with mozzarella cheese. I mean who asks for such weird combination and in the morning at that?I didn't want her to see me so I had kept a great distance between us, just watching the scene that was playing out between her and the chef. The chef…by the gods, the look on the chef's face was one I could kill to see again. The man looked like he was watching a patient from an asylum talk to him and couldn't believe his ears. Selene on the other hand didn't seem to care, she went on begging to have a portion even when it wasn't ready. He

    Selene’s POV I woke with a start. My tongue felt sore and my body disoriented as I tried to stand to my feet. Today's supposed to be the first day of building my afrm but it felt like I'd been rammed into by a pack of rogues and left to die on my bed. Jeez, this definitely had to be the cons of being pregnant. But there’s no hella way I was letting that get to me. After I had left Lucian's room, I had drafted out the activities I was going to carry out today, more like pioneer since I was pregnant and couldn't really do much just for the safety of my baby. The first thing on my list was checking out some plots of land available in the pack to be sold, leased or rented. Thankfully, despite the bad blood between Lucian and I, he'd forwarded to me a list of persons with lands ready to be sold or leased so all I had to do was inspect and choose. Afterwards, I'll make payments, put up and ad for workers and if time permitted, start clearing if it was a bushy land. I pushed myself for

    Selene's povMy joy knew no bounds knowing that Lucian was super willing to help me finally achieve my dream of owning a farm. The thought sent a thrill through me, so much so that I didn't know when I chuckled and did a happy dance as I trudged through the hallway. “Look at you, all happy huh?” My wolf teased. “Girl, who wouldn't be?” I retorted, chuckling the more as my mind wandered to my cooked up imagination of me standing in my own huge, long plot of land, sowing seeds into the soil alongside my workers. Surreal was an understatement of how the thought made me feel. But almost immediately, my reverie ended. Somehow my mind defiled my constraints and traveled back to the time when I had asked Lucian what was wrong with him and how he'd coldly told me off. I could feel my heart shattering into multiple pieces again as the scene replayed in my head again. Was I ever going to move past that? The cold looks in his eyes, the venom in his voice, the way he'd quickly rebuffed me,
