Selene’s POV The only difference between this pack and my pack was the fact that Lucian wasn’t an Alpha anymore, aside that everything was being carried out like he was leading a pack.It was over a month in this pack and there were several things I have observed about him and the one I had admired the most was his ability to lead. With Emily and Joan gone, I wasn’t exactly chatty with anyone, aside from Alice who was still settled in grief.She refused to be a part of the child dedication ceremony and her reasons were justified, if I was the one whose hopes and dreams were tarnished in barely three days I wasn’t sure I would want to come out myself.It wasn’t exactly my intention to come out, but Ella had a thing for parties, she had bugged me endlessly about it, and now I had to be an active participant, but I stayed at the corner as usual. With a cup of beer in my hands, and a tiny stick, I drew patterns on the floor while navigating the lines through the reflection of the fire.
Lucian’s POV I sensed her in the room. Her scent was the first thing that caught my attention, even in slumber, she walked up to me and we kissed, it was electrical, and addictive.I didn’t want to pull away, but at some point she did, ‘Lucian are you insane’ her voice was melodious, it intoxicated me even more, the scent of her skin, the tenderness of her voice.It warms my heart, her gently moaning beside me and the heavenly feeling of releasing inside her, and just like a ghost, she vanishes.‘Chief!’ ‘Chief, are you in there?’‘Chief’ her voice berated my mind, only this time it was gentle but rushed, my eyes snapped wide open. Hurriedly darting around the room.I was dreaming again…Not just any dream, this particular sex dream that had tormented me for a month now. I kept seeing her in my dream, and the more I saw her the more realistic it became.I wake up feeling like something is missing.‘Chief!’ I heard Selene's voice again.I stood up from my bed, eager to know why she
Selene’s POVHe wanted to push me away, but u was no fool I could see right through him.“You promise to tell me if you feel uncomfortable with the training, I want to know if it's too intense, you will take a break after every ten minutes, you are bound to exercise and you will be on a strict diet of highly healthy food—“You are not allowed to oppose any of this laws, you must have more than eight hours of sleep, and a lot of water. And I want to see your regular checkups is that clear” “Is that all?” I asked.He matched towards me, “What do you mean is that all, if you break any of this rules, you won't train again until I let you is that clear” “Yes chief, and I swear on that”He walked toward the pack exit so I followed him. He was tense all the way there but unlike yesterday he wasn't gloomy so rather than letting us walk in silence I chose to start a conversation.“So about the sex slave, are you going to tell Alpha like that Alexander is also a part of this slave trading sh
Selene’s POV “Are you hurt?” He asked again.“No, I am fine, what happened you zoned out for a minute I thought something had happened to you I was so worried” He left my shoulders then he faltered backward again, he sagged to the floor, his fingers forked his hair as he pulled the strands of his hair.That gloomy look I saw last night was back again. Something was wrong , Lucian I was keeping something away from me.“Are you okay?” I squatted to his level, and I held his jaw, then lifted it so he could see me, but he removed my hands immediately, then took out a dagger from his boots.“Here, your push up sucks, you will do ten reps of that when we are done with the training and when we are done, you can go back to the pack, you are to do this training repeatedly till you can do it with your eyes closed, but for now let’s do the basis” He ignored what I had asked him just like he always did, he went further into the field then he brought a log with a solid bottom.He positioned it
Lucian’s POV She had just gone down on her first push up, she sucked so much at this but as always her flimsy efforts were funny.She had stood up then punched me playfully on my chest, she wrapped her arms around me, then placed a kiss on my forehead, and my cheeks, I pulled her closer.“Your arms are weak, do you know that? It’s bad for a lady who wants to lead, you need to be able to fight, and be worth being fought for” she kissed me again, stopping me from saying anything.“You will always be here to protect me right?, you will always fight for me” she said close to my lips, her teeth gently holding unto her lower lips, I wanted to pull them into my mouth and suck on them gently.“I will set the realm ablaze for you” I confessed to the bride kissing her.“I love you Lucian, I have always loved you, just you and no one else” she whispered beside my ear, my body felt calm as she whispered those reassuring words, it was all I ever wanted to hear.“I will always love you,” I respond
Lucian’s POV After Pike's decision to stay for a little while to gather his weapons news, staying back and being placed on pause seemed like torture, and the incident that happened with Selene on the field, I had to stay away for a while. Till I found the herbs to calm the effect, it had been a week since I last took it. And today I dedicated my time to finding it while going to hunt.It was very early in the morning, and the sky was bright and beautiful, as always, the poison had expanded, and tying it didn’t help anymore, so the herb was needed, at list to curb the effects, I couldn’t afford to lose my cool anymore.All along I have had those zone out moments, in private, having before her in such a realistic way was so scary, I was too expensive to risk, so rather than seeing hold up as torture I chose to see it as a means to prepare myself mentally. I wanted to flex my wolf today and since Selene had disabilities and hadn’t been trained for hunting, it was only logical that I ma
Chapter 101Selene POV I knew Lucian was avoiding me due to what happened during our last training. He was provoked by my words. I poked the wrong buttons but it was for a good cause.Well, it was bound to happen either way. If he were honest with me from the beginning, maybe I would have gone easy on him. But he chose the hard path. Just now, he evaded my gaze and paid attention to my little Ella. Seeing him act all sweet towards gave him a softer look.After he left with his group for their hunt, I decided to take a walk down to my healer ward just to get my mind off him for a while.My mind has been filled up with his strange behavior towards me lately. Especially when he avoids my questions.I tried to focus on my healing process, going through some old books and jotting down some healing recipes.While I was taking notes, I began to feel dizzy and hot. I fanned my face with my hand, trying to understand why I felt so sick all of a sudden.I got up to walk around, but fell to t
Selene POV I headed down to meet Lucian. He was in the midst of his group who went hunting with him. They praised him for his expertise. I watched him from a distance as he adorned in their praises.‘What do you think?' I asked my wolf as I stared at Lucian.‘Nothing, I can't feel his wolf. But I think he is in pain. He is suffering inside, badly.'‘what do you mean?'‘I can't explain it to you. I am as confused as you are. Maybe, he is hurt or something. He might have injured himself while hunting.'Estel 's reasoning was quite plausible but knowing Lucian, an injury would be a less problem to him let a lone painful.It is very difficult to understand the ways of him. Today, he would be different, gentle then next time he turns into a prickle on my skin.‘I think it is best if you find out about his pain if you are so curious.'Estel muttered, increasing my curiosity. Why was he in pain? I furrowed my brows at the thought of it.I wish I could and get a good answer from him as well.
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. Jude carpenter.I took
Joan’s POVI panicked, what if someone has taken Lucian, what if he got attacked where is everyone in the pack they were all supposed to be here where are they?“Chief!” Ella noticed my work and she came up to me, “uncle Lucian.” She called out. 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
Joan’s POV It was a poster of Lucian being shared among everyone in the pack, well more like a drawing of him in his mask, I was awestruck by all that was going on in the pack.A wolf who I knew to be a part of the eclipse pack came sharing the flyer with everyone, Alex, he was looking for Lucian.Selene told me about Lucian killing the fair queen and then the Fae queen but she didn’t tell me about a bounty, or maybe she didn’t know, I wanted to get the flyer for myself till I realized that Ella wasn’t just a a nobody she was the next in line for eclipse pack.Not only should she not be here now, she was supposed to be dead, I turn back so that her back was facing the guard who was hearing the flyer and then I began to walk away, as fast as I could through the crowd yet trying to sync in like a common passerby that intended to be before all this happened.As all this happens the guard had made sure he had share the flier to everyone willing to see for themselves and he left.I walked
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
