Selena's POV I inhaled deeply, pushing myself up from the dining chair after finishing dinner. A sharp pain shot through my head, causing me to groan. "Are you alright, dear?" Mom asked, and I nodded after swallowing. "Yes, I'm just a bit tired." I fibbed before making my way to my room. Upon entering my room, I closed the door behind me and collapsed onto my bed, drifting off to sleep. As soon as my eyes shut, I was once again plagued by a horrific dream, the worst I had experienced in days. The dream was felt so real. A war was going on, with some werewolves and humans in their human form lying on the ground, their throats slit open and blood gushing out... The dream felt so real that I could sense their pain, fear, and suffering. Their anguished cries echoed through the air. I sniffled as I wiped away the tears that were streaming down my face with the back of my right hand. Suddenly, I noticed a woman passing by. I could never forget that green cloak. It was the woman who h
Selena's POV After leaving Grandmother downstairs, I went straight to my room. I was going through my old stuff when I suddenly had flashes of Williams coming upstairs. A frown appeared on my face as I walked to the door making sure it was shut very well. I walked back to the old box, putting the stuffs back inside before putting the box back in the drawer. I walked to the window looking at the sky when a knock suddenly sounded on my door. "Seli!" That was Williams voice. I glance at the door before turning my face away from it. "Seli, I know you're in there. Open the door." Williams persistent voice kept sounding at the door. Ignoring the knock, I pick up my earpiece from the table, connecting it to phone. I fell on the bed, scroll down my phone to the music folder and the playing a music with the eyepiece in my ear. With the earpiece in my ear and the music still playing, I didn't know when I drifted off to sleep. I slept well and dreamlessly that night. No nightmares. The ne
Selena's POV"Anything for my future luna." Rufus's husky voice came through the phone and I covered my mouth to prevent myself from laughing out loud. Neither of us spoke, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment. The sound of breathing came through the airwaves, numbing my ears. After a while, Rufus's voice came from the phone, very soft and faint, "I miss you." My heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being squeezed tightly by something, and the smile on my lips faded. His voice was hoarse, and seemed to reveal an indescribable sense of fatigue. "Rest early, good night." His voice sounded again before I could say anything. I pursed my lips and whispered "Good night." After hanging up the phone, I looked down at the small gift box in my hand.*Selena, I can sense it, Rufus needs us.* Meeka's voice rang out, almost making me burst into laughter. Meeka's voice sounded and I almost laughed out loud. *Yeah! You can feel it as if he's our mate.* I said sarcastically and I swear
Selena's POV It was four in the morning when I stepped off the train. The BloodMoon pack was completely asleep, and the train station was eerily quiet with only a handful of people around. As I exited the station, I noticed a car parked along the roadside. Loki was leaning against the car and greeted me with a respectful, "Ms..." I only had a backpack with me, no other bags. I climbed into the car, and Loki drove straight to the hotel where Rufus was staying. Once we arrived at the hotel, Loki handed me the room key and left. I paused at the door, not rushing to enter. My delicate fingers clutched the thin key card, which felt as heavy as my destiny. I could sense my wolf growing restless. *Come on, Seli, just go in.* Meeka almost growled. Ignoring Meeka, I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself, and used the key card to unlock the door. As the door swung open, the room was dimly lit, filled with a thick, unpleasant atmosphere and the strong smell of smoke. I waved m
Rufus's POVI was shocked to see Selena walk through the door earlier. I had stepped away from my own pack for just a day, hoping for a little peace. With my relatives around, it felt like everyone was eager to take on the role of my advisor, which is one of the reasons I don't like having them around. I let out a sigh as I shifted my eyes to the window, the sky was slightly brighter.I shifted my eyes from the window and to Selena who leaned in my arms.I lowered my head and kissed her cheek, "Aren't you sleepy?"Selena shook her head and looked at me with clear eyes.My mind moved, and i kissed the corner of her eye again, "Why did you suddenly come."She shrugged. "I’m not sure. Maybe it’s because you mentioned missing me. Or perhaps it’s Meeka; she seemed a bit restless and wanted to be here."Upon hearing her word, a warm wave of affection washed over me. "I really appreciate you coming."Selena smiled, her fingers playing with my collar. "Of course! But what made you come to B
I walked out of my office gate when I heard a loud growl behind me. I paused and turned around, spotting a brown wolf sprinting toward me. A low growl slipped from my lips. It was Meeka, and I could tell she was ready to defend me against whatever threat was coming. Suddenly, the wolf transformed back into a human. "Sorry, I run faster in my wolf form," the girl said, struggling to put on her clothes while facing away from me. "Do you remember me?" she asked as she turned around. "Angela?" I called, looking into her face making sure I wasn't mistaken. This was the first time I had seen her awake and on two legs. "You remember!" she said with a gentle smile. "Yeah. What are you doing here? In the Nightfall Pack?" Angela paused, smiling back at me. "He didn’t tell you? I was living with my relatives in the capital, but they moved back to Nightfall, and Rufus wouldn’t let me stay behind. Plus, see that tall green building over there?" She pointed across the street, and I shifted
Writer's POV Before Selena could answer Rufus lips were already on her lips.*Alpha, elder Silas has been kidnapped and part of the palace is on fire.* Before Rufus could take the kiss further, Davies voice sounded from the mind link, making Rufus froze instantly. *Alpha! Alpha.* Davies called repeatedly after not hearing any response from Rufus. *Take everyone inside the palace to safety, I'll be right there.* Rufus swallowed hard as he hurried to his wardrobe, his footsteps heavy as he grabbed a hood and cut off the mind link."Is everything okay?" Selena's voice calmly sounded. "The palace is on fire, and one of my elders has been kidnapped." Rufus stopped in front of Selena and kissed her deeply before pulling away. "I need to go. Don’t let Angela leave the house. The house is secure; Lillian made sure of that before she left." Rufus rushed the words out as he dashed out of the room, leaving Selena no time to reply. Once outside, Rufus shifted into his wolf form and Eclipse
Writer's POV As Rufus stepped out of the chapel, he could hear the voices outside growing louder. "Is that a green hood with Nightfall pack symbols?""That’s definitely the Alpha under that hood.""Could it really be him?""It’s him, alright. Hiding behind that hood shows just how weak you are; you can’t lead us anymore.""We don’t want an Alpha who hides behind a hood.""Don’t assume the throne is yours just because your father was an Alpha.""We don’t want you; it’s time for you to step down."Rufus tightened his grip, choosing to ignore the small crowd as he made his way to the King’s quarters, a place untouched by the Alpha's presence.With a loud bang, he slammed the door behind him.Upon entering, he hurled his sword onto the table, the impact echoing through the room.Davies, who had just walked in, barely dodged the flying sword.Unfazed, he picked it up, walked over calmly, and placed it back on the table.Rufus, fists clenched, suddenly raised his sword and brought it down
Epilogue"My baby... Roo!"Selena was crying nonstop, and since this was a first for them, Rufus was at a loss for what to do.Is the baby already coming? Should i take her to the pack clinic by now?Selena stood there, legs apart, as if she was hesitant to let anyone near her."Selly... Come here. Come here," Roo said softly, moving closer and wrapping his arms around her."Rufus...!""Lillian, go get the pack doctor!" Rufus shouted, and Lillian rushed out to find help.Meanwhile, Selena continued to cry, tugging at Rufus's shirt, and suddenly, a sharp pain hit her like menstrual cramps, causing her to scream in agony."Argh!!!!"She clutched Rufus's shirt tightly, her nails digging into his chest."Rufus! It hurts. Moon goddess, please...!"Ignoring the pain she was causing him, Rufus quickly scooped her up, her weight not bothering him as he dashed into the room."This way, doctor."Lillian returned with one of the pack doctors.The doctor rushed in, ready to help."I'm so scared,"
Writer's POVThree Days LaterSelena let out a big yawn as she stretched her tired limbs. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and found Rufus staring right at her."You're awake! How are you feeling? Should I whip up some food for you, or do you want to freshen up first?" Rufus bombarded her with questions, leaving Selena unsure of how to respond.She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead, feeling overwhelmed by everything he was asking.Selena exhaled deeply. "What actually happened? I can't remember anything..."Rufus settled on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and gently tapped the back of her palm. "Sweetheart, it's been three days since you fainted.""What?" Selena interrupted, her eyes going wide in disbelief."Shh! That’s not all," Rufus continued. "The pack doctor said you fainted because you’re pregnant... Defeating Nireus took a lot out of you."Selena blinked rapidly, as if she had just seen a ghost. "Pregnant? Defeat Nireus?!""Yes! You're pregnant!" Rufus said excitedly
Writer's POV "I get that you have every reason to doubt me, but you really need to believe me. It’s only a matter of hours before Nireus and his men show up here," Issa said, locking eyes with Lillian. Both Lillian and Issa were trying hard to keep their feelings in check, but their eyes revealed a lot. "That’s not going to happen. There’s a barrier that keeps out anyone with bad intentions," Davies said, his teeth clenched. He hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something important. "But how did you…" "It’s because I came here peacefully and mean no harm," Issa interrupted, cutting off Davies. "You have to believe me, Lillian. Nireus has witches who can break that barrier," Issa insisted, her gaze still fixed on Lillian. Lillian took a deep breath and muttered, "Come with me..." "Lillian, I know she’s your aunt, but you don’t have to trust her..." "She’s not my aunt, Davies. Just go back to the border," Lillian replied, her voice tense. "I’m not leaving you with her," D
Issa's POV As soon as I was out of Nireus' sight, I picked up my pace. Once I exited the big hall, I hurried to the horse stable. I glanced back to ensure no one was tailing me before I approached one of the horses and released it from its stall. "Let’s go..." I murmured as I mounted the horse.This was the first time in years that I had stepped outside the Red clan's territory, or maybe even out of Nireus' cage.Luckily, it was slightly bright. Maybe 2Am or 3AM.I had nearly forgotten how stunning it was out here.I gripped the reins tightly, racing past the trees and various clans.Before I left the Red clan, I had cast a spell on every path I took. It would be tough for Nireus to track me down.I looked up at the sky, catching a last glimpse of the stars as it slipped behind the clouds. The day was getting so bright,, and I was running out of time.Only a few hours remained unti the day finally brighten very welll, and I needed to find Lillian or the council of Werewolves to pr
Writer's POVMyrine looked absolutely stunning in her pink and creamy white dress. When she spotted Issa and Lord Nireus approaching, she paused her conversation with the other two and happily walked over to greet them.She wrapped her arms around Issa, exclaiming, "Issa, it’s so wonderful to have you back!"The two people Myrine had been talking to introduced themselves as Dares and his brother Chares. They seemed a bit distant and quickly found an excuse to leave."Greetings to you, my Lord." Myrine said before turning her attention back to Issa. "I noticed you were just chatting with Kleopatra and her husband," she said, fiddling with the beautiful heart-shaped pendant around her neck, "I’m sure you remember who her husband is, right?""Of course I remember Aeson. I was only gone for a few years. My memory is still sharp," Issa replied with a shrug and a smile."I knew you would," Myrine laughed."They're here.""The rogue vampires and werewolves are here!" the crowd suddenly shout
Writer's POV Lord Nireus stood by his window, a glass of wine in hand, staring at the sky before his attention shifted to his wardrobe. "Come on, Issa," he said softly, tapping the wine glass with his finger.As if responding to his call, the wardrobe began to shake violently."Bless Lucifer," he whispered, a grin spreading across his face."Coming!" he nearly shouted, quickly placing the wine glass on the table. With a flick of his fingers, the wardrobe swung to the side.Taking a deep breath, Lord Nireus rubbed his palms together and pressed them against the wall, squeezing his eyes shut.Suddenly, the wall cracked open and swung back, and with a loud thud, a woman in that is naked tumbled out."Oh, my dearest Issa! It’s wonderful to have you back. Together, we shall rule the universe!" Lord Nireus exclaimed, crouching beside her and gently caressing her face.Though Issa looked pale and weak, she managed a faint smile at his words.Seeing him after so many years only made Issa wa
Selena's POV I rested my head on Rufus's chest and asked, "What was the situation at the border?" He sighed, "It's being handled. Apparently, one of the Alphas was behind it.""Oh!" I mumbled, wishing things could just go back to how they used to be. I really didn’t want this power."Williams was here," I swallowed and then added, "And I almost burn him to death," "That mother fu*ker was here?" Rufus growled lowly.I looked up at him shyly, my eyelashes fluttering, and a playful smile crept onto my face, making Rufus let out a low rumble from his chest.I didn’t say anything, but I reached up and slipped my hands under his shirt, gently tracing my fingers over his defined abs. I wrapped my fingers around the back of his neck, pulling his lips closer to mine.Right then, I craved to taste him. I couldn’t understand this intense desire that had taken over me, this urgent need to have him with me all the time.It wasn’t like this when I was with Williams...*Ugh, Selly. Do you really
Writer's POV "What’s happening?" Edward asked when he spotted his cousin Rufus."There was a breach. The guards managed to take down a few of them, but…""But what?" Edward pressed."A few of them found a way to sneak in…" Rufus sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead."They can’t stay here; Lillian will track them down," Davies pointed out."Plus, she’s desperately trying to do just that, but we really need to keep our defenses up," Rufus replied. "I think you and Davies should check the inner area. Look for anything suspicious, search around the houses, and then regroup here later. I’ll go join Lillian and Selena on the border.""Cousin, you’re forgetting something important. You need to be with your mate," Edward argued. "She’s safer with you right now than anyone else, especially until she learns to control her powers.""She’s completely safe," Rufus insisted."You have no idea. She’s a white wolf, Cousin. There are plenty of people out there just waiting for a chance to capture her
Writer's POV Lord Nireus was standing on a high stage surrounded by the clamoring crowd. His remarkable position allowed him to have a clear view on everything on the open arena. The sound of weapons colliding sounded routinely from before him, and the sound of steel tearing steel was definitely more satisfying to Lord Nireus ears than any fine instrument could be. This is the biggest field in Reds tribe. In the field, there are just two men battling each another. One of them is tall, wearing dark covering, and his swordsmanship is exceptionally powerful. The less flashy fighter facing him had no elaborate armor, just a simple layer of rust-resistant fabric that matched the color of the ground. The only decoration was a bright lion's head emblazoned on his chest. His sword skills were also significantly stronger! Surprisingly, he was nearly a head shorter than the man across from him, yet he managed to overpower his opponent with sheer strength! As the duel started
