Selene's POV The pain was nonexistent for a blissful minute, I couldn’t feel anything anymore. I saw my daughter in the packs playing ground, 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 held one of my finger, 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 could help but hear adore her giggle. Slowly, I was brought back to my reality. ‘Hang in there Selene, don’t sleep, stay aw
Selene's POV ‘Breath’ A sudden urge to breathe engulfed me, as a wave of air coursed through my nose, my back arched on a hard surface. Air Forcefully passing through my nose and mouth. Shivers of relief eluded me, my body felt instantly cold like I had been trapped beneath a snow storm yet I felt as light as a feather falling freely from the sky. The pain I had felt all along became nonexistent,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, and it all came so suddenly. I felt alive again like I woken up from a deep slumber, the strange feeling was surreal that I contemplated what was going on. My eyelids slightly opened just to witness a blinding ray of light which threatened my vision, I closed my eyes again, then gently opened it, 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 que
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 actually talked with anyone was when the pack healers 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 the pack from only 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 have the courage to confide in her, I could afford to be stigmatised because of it, everyone would treat me differently if their knew my wolf was dead, and if I was going to help Lucian in any way, I needed to live a different life. A gentle knock on the door before the door opened gave way for a lady to enter. She was the lady assigned to take care of me for today, I had two healers ev
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 around f
Selene's POV A slight moan escaped my lips as I leaned closer to him, I would be damned if I pulled away, his fingers wrapped around my head, he pulled out a little then placed kisses on my forehead.“I thought I was going to lose you, I thought I would never see you again” I had no idea what was going on, why he adored my existence all of a sudden, it was unlike Lucian, but I feared this moment would come to an end if I said something totally different or unexpected. His hands cupped my cheek, as he pulled the strands of my hair away from my face, I could see him clearly now, his pupils dilated in adoration, he stared like he had just seen a black moon.He stood from the floor, his physique overshadowed mine, and I found myself moving backwards, in fear that he might actually figure out I wasn’t supposed to be in the room, in the first place.“You came back bruised, I was just curious” I pointed at his bruises, but he didn't pay attention to them, instead he took a step closer, I f
Lucian’s POV “Damn…” She came while I was stroking her, my body shuddered as I felt ripples of flames spiral down my body, the sound of her moaning was the bane of my existence, I had never felt anything as intense as staying close to her.I didn’t want to leave her, but she was fluid as the air around me, she slipped away from me.“Selene, come back, Selene! Selene!!!”I jerked from the bed, my heart pounding within me, my anxious eyes searched the premises as I tried to calm myself down.I was in my room, specifically on my bed.‘It was just a dream’ a sigh of disappointment coaxed me, my back fell back to the bed, this lady had messed with my mind so much it began to hurt, if I was given a gift for every time I thought about her, I could build a mountain with it.She barely ever left my mind, and today, I found myself thinking about sex with her, maybe it was because of the mate bound I felt, there was no doubt that my wolf wanted her, I , on the other hand was obsessed, it didn’
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 totally unnecessary.I wanted to believe if I had shown any sign of weirdness she would have told me already, so I straightened my clothes, then stood gallantly, pretending to be totally unaffected by my thoughts.“You don’t have to worry about entering my room, you did what you felt was good, and I appreciate your effort so much, I am healed now, all thanks to you and the goddess as well,” there was silence between us for a while, so I moved out of the way then proceeded to letting her out.Her face was still crinkled in a frown, she didn’t look happy and I could not help but think about why she was sad all of a sudden, maybe it was because of the sudden powers.“You were battered and bruised when I saw you at the mass grave yard, I didn’t think you will will make it”I remembered sneaking into the pack, I checked th
Selene’s POV I fondled her in my arms, unable to let her go, I just couldn’t do that to my baby.She looked pale, and almost lifeless, her eyes were closed shut, and I could see the traces of tears at 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” Lucian’s voice abruptly tugged into mind. 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 are connected to, maybe family, or out of sheer kindness, if you can do it again, she night wake up” Lucian said.My insides ached with pain, my wolf was cold, and wasn’t responsive.‘Can yo
