/Chris’ POV/ It’s been five days, five days since I almost marked Selena, five days since I almost lost control to my wolf, and two days since I started my rut. I rut just once a month but it depends on how pure an Alpha bred is, and the mental state of the Alpha. A purebred would normally rut once in a month, but a rejected Alpha would probably rut once in a year or probably twice a year but in my case, it’s the second time I’m rutting because I was influenced by my mate’s heat. I should have known better than to expose myself to her intoxicating pheromones, getting me drunk like a peach mine and now my beast wants to claim her. Being a pure breed Alpha since I was birth to two Alpha parents made me realise how susceptible I was to an omega’s pheromone. I was literally walking on the edge of a knife around her, tipping like I’m hanging from a thorny rope, any external stimuli and I’ll probably fall, so I avoided her, I hate myself during rut, it lasts six days and I don’t think stra
/Selena’s POV/It all unfolded before my eyes but I felt like I was watching it all through a TV screen. Lydia almost lost her life and me? I don’t know what almost happened to me, what would have been my fate if I had stayed, and as I watched things unfold, I realise how easily he marked me, I knew Chris' body was willed by his wolf but the marking was still done without my consent, he could have at least tried to resist, he definitely wanted something like that to happen, nothing else could explain him acting that else.Why? Because he wanted me for himself? Why did he ignore me for days then? Why did he try to satisfy his rut with Lydia then, why? Why? I wish I could ask him but I couldn’t I was furious, I wanted to scream and yell at him for doing something so wrong, you should never mark someone against their consent. It’s wrong, I thought although, I was mad at him, I didn’t intend to mention rejection again because I knew deep down I could never reject him, then Chris started
/Eric’s POV/That’s it. He’s done it. Cutting off our friendship because I wanted Selena just as much as he does made me realise Chris and I can never remain the same but I didn’t think he would give in to my provocation, forcing a mark on Selena. No matter what happens, he should never do that. It made me so furious I almost throw the first punch.But he was oddly calm, he let out a soft sigh and fold his arm studying my movements under his keen grey eyes that continue to probe and annoy me. How could he….how could he?“I understand that you’re getting mad for Selena but if she was really against the mark would she have done what she did this morning?” He questioned with an indifferent look yesterday, though yesterday’s mark was accidental since I didn’t mark her, my wolf did…I was in rut and she came to my room so, you can’t exactly blame me for wanting to claim her” I flinched. I know he’s been distracted these past few days for some reason but he was in rut? His rut had always bee
/Chris’ POV/ I was worried, even though I could communicate with Selena using the mate-link, I was still terrified of what could happen leaving her alone in a den of lions since those old men have practically evolved from a wolf to a lion and if Selena isn’t careful, she could be devoured alive and that’s why I went to her, I wanted to aid to her, I wanted to help her and though we managed to turn the table but they still didn’t give up trying to probe, going as far as mentioning child, I’m only 28 goddamnit! I wanted to say it out loud but I refrained from saying so since my dad had me when he was 25, but there’s a huge difference though, he’s my dad and I am me, not that I have no intention about having a child or anything, but if it’s not Selena, I want no one else I thought staring into her flushed face. It’s an embarrassing topic to talk about I know. “I understand your concern” I voiced cutting through the awkward silence that ensues after Mr. Hart pointed that out. “But that’s
/Selena’s POV/Chris handled everything himself so I didn’t do much but give the closing discussion which was about the lousy handling of our territory borders, just because Chris left doesn’t mean everything was gonna just die down.Those geezers had their way of coming back at me after all. After Chris left, we discussed Alpha Rick of Crimson Moon pack, a young alpha of a small nearby pack, he was 15 when his father passed and the immediate decision he made as a young alpha was to seek Chris out to be an alpha under his jurisdiction before other alpha’s decided to pry on his small pack. If alpha was to challenge his position right now, he would cave in, as he's still young, but having a strong alliance would ensure the safety of his pack, but unlike other packs looking for an alliance, this boy wants to completely surrender his pack to Chris, becoming a part of Crystal moon pack.He wants to be an alpha under his control, if this works out well, their warriors and resources will be
/Chris’s POV/I must have been insane, I must be crazy, doing that with Selena. Goddamnit, I’m definitely out of my mind. Is this how an omega body functions, acting so crazy when an alpha excites them? I thought wallowing in shame for a minute, alphas are quick to judge omegas for their slutty ways, the way, their seductive scents and their beautiful appearance. They were made the lowest part of the werewolf hierarchy system despite having the most important jobs, breeding and unity of the pack.Whether wolves admit it or not, omegas keep the pack together more than they think, while other ranks can become warriors, they serve as unifying agents for other rank of the werewolf community, their soothing hormones allow the warriors to want and respect them, making it easy to solve misunderstandings or calm angry wolves.Omega has also been confirmed to have a high fertility rate compared to other ranks in the werewolf community. Omegas are quick to bring forth children and pups, and tha
/Selena’s POV/ I took in a sharp intake of breath immediately after I let Chris go, I couldn’t hold back from kissing him and now I’m back in my body. I guess this confirms, kissing…does make us switch back our bodies. “Wow, I guess kissing does work, go to my room, I just mind-linked Eric to clear that dead assassin in your room, I’d have it clean soon, take a break Selena” Chris suggested staring at me with big warm eyes that had me nodding immediately to his words. “I think I’d have to go home soon though,” I told him and he nodded, standing to lead me to his room. I guess things between us has gotten a little better, but it’s still confusing, does Chris really not love? Or does he not want to admit it? I wondered as we finally got to his room and he tucked me in, releasing pheromone scents that slowly calm my anxiety though my mind is still filled with the thoughts of my dad, his face, his smile, his laughter…I could remember it all. I wish I had developed the courage to call h
/Eric's POV/The moment Chris mind-linked me to inform me of the second assassination attempt on Selena, I rushed over to him immediately. Should just tell Chris about my suspicion?! I thought recalling the documents I seized from the boy who had managed to sneak into Chris's study.I have a feeling it has something to do with the attempt on Selena's life. I remember heaving a heavy sigh when I got to Selena's room to clear the bloody mess Chris made of the man, why on earth did he have to make a bloody mess out of the man when we could actually hold him under interrogation? I have a faint clue of who was targeting Selena but it doesn't make any sense, because I see no motive in such an attempt, why would they try to murder one of their own? I thought sighing heavily before I resumed to work, the rest of the pack members who were supposed to actually work on this were yet to be around, my job isn't actually to clean up but to examine the man. It wasn't just the smell of blood that re
2 months later… A lot has happened since the Willow pack internal conflict, Stephen’s probably swarmed with work but to think I’d be seeing him here. It’s surprising. “Hey, Selena!” He screamed the moment our eyes met. He screamed rushing past the important guests that were roaming the reception hall. I was just going to check on Olly and return to the bridal room but it seems my brother decided to grace me with his presence. “Fancy seeing you here, I thought you’d be swarmed with work” I commented and he grinned. “Caroline said she’d gonna kill me if I miss her wedding” Well they’ve always been close. “How is she doing by the way?” He asked and I sighed before thinking of a response to his words. “Well, she’s fine but she’s nervous like hell- “Well, it’s her wedding, it’s her big day” Yeah, I remembered my wedding, it wasn’t exactly great, I felt like I was following a script all through it like a robot being controlled, I hated every minute of it but now, I’ve come to like it.
/Chris’ POV/“I wanna talk to him,” Selena asked me after we retired to our bedroom, she spent all day pampering Oliver, it was almost impossible to separate the two of them, not like Oliver hated it either, it was almost like he spend his entire life waiting for this, to be held and pampered by his mother, I don’t hate it either too…It was a pretty fulfilling feeling watching them together and it had me thinking, maybe this is why people have children but was with this talk all of a sudden.“It’s dangerous Selena, you have no idea how difficult it is to have him locked away in the underground pack dungeon without killing him…you know he has nothing more than resentment toward you, I can’t promise I wouldn’t kill him this time if he tried to attack you again,” I told her and she smiled.“It’s okay, I’m not that fragile-“You were bedridden for days after that fight Selena, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you are, I’m just saying…you have no idea how terrified I was that you might n
/Selena's POV/ It’s hot, my whole body feel hot, this…I’m familiar with this feeling, I need Chris, I thought while struggling to regain my consciousness and when I finally woke up, Chris was right next to me, oozing out thick overbearing pheromones, almost like he was in rut, but not quite enough, I couldn’t take it. He seems he fell asleep while watching me. It’s surprising to know we were in our bedroom, I thought I’d find myself in the hospital after that fatal damage Mac landed on me, but since I was still hooked on IV, I guess Harry’s been here. My whole body was starting to hurt, I need Chris inside me right now. I thought climbing on top of him while slowly rubbing against him, I removed the IV on me and put off the only thing on me and that’s one of Chris baggy top and my panties, I suppose he must have gotten me out of my bloody clothes. He was in a black tank top and gray joggers, but the clothes he had on didn’t really matter since I’d be getting them off anyway. “mmgh
/Selena’s POV/ I was able to go into Chris's body and return to mine thanks to Christian, I know he wasn’t doing all this for me, but rather for his cousin but I couldn’t help but feel grateful to him nonetheless, and though I was weakened by the switch even though it was for a little while, it was enough to get me back to my senses, I can never forget the powerlessness I felt, it was as if I’d returned to when Eric would harass me and I couldn’t do a thing, I felt I couldn’t protect Oliver and that’s a pretty shitty feeling because what’s a mother who couldn’t even protect her son. And I watched that night, his blood getting drawn, Emma and I were incapacitated and Nick who had tried harder ended up in the hospital because of me, all because of that damn Eric, I’ll kill him, even if it means I’ll lose my life. I thought forcing myself to my feet before I found myself at the pack clinic, all eyes were on me as I walked past, the sick Luna…the mentally unstable Luna, that’s the rumour
/Chris’ POV/“Micheal report” I urged my shadow as I stood from Selena’s beside, she seem to be suffering from not just mental shock but the body switch adverse effects as well, they both really need to have that fixed soon.“Sean…has started mobilising all the alphas on his side, I think Willow pack will be going through a revolutionary soon” This Sean sure is greedy, now that he’s tasted power in his brother’s absence, he wouldn’t want to settle for less,“Continue to track his movement while reporting it all to Stephen,” I recall telling Stephen Sean will retaliate and challenge him but he claimed his baby brother wasn’t capable of that, he has no fucking idea what greed can turn a person, Sean is a greedy man and would continue to want more even if it means he’d have to sacrifice a few people, after several assassination attempts on Selena, it was easy to figure how much of a persistent bastard he was, he’s quite a determined person and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
/Christian’s POV/ “Alpha, we’ve raided the whole grounds and searched the whole perimeter, but the doctor still hasn’t been found” Amman reported. Shit! Shit! Shit! I really thought I’d be able to finish up with this, at least this time around. It took me a lot of time to get here goddamnit. “Any chance that they might have anticipated the attack?” I asked Amman through the earbuds since we all have one. “Not exactly, and after interrogating a few researchers at the site, it seems the doctor left to take care of someone, Sean commanded it. ‘take care of someone huh?’ I thought trying to figure out who’d be so important to have Sean force his doctor out of his precious facility. “Okay, burn the place down, we’re retreating, leave the scientists alive, I might need them to bait out the doctor” I instructed getting down from the surveillance vehicle which I’d been staying in while commanding and overseeing the whole operation. Except things get dire I don’t expose myself, it’s one
/Chris’ POV/ The scent of blood loom in the air, and the green lustred glasses were stained with the crimson liquid splattered all over the place, I have no fucking idea where I was but I do know one thing, Eric was involved in this, I panted softly removing my hand from the heart of the last person standing, I have no idea what they did to me or what they’re trying to do to me because the moment I felt a needle to my skin, Ace lost it, by the time I regained my senses, all these people were already dead, and the last one who I could have question happens to have just lost his life in my hands since he attacked me. About 15 wolves were dead, and I…was drenched in their blood, I know Ace sometimes goes mad if he’s restrained but I didn’t think he’d go on a killing spree. There’s one thing I’m able to deduct though, I’m no longer in the pack and that’s because of someone…Eric! I gritted my teeth feeling a surge in my rage. I recalled him calling me out wanting to talk, yeah sure I was
/Eric’s POV/I growled and dive my fist right into the wall in anger ‘Selena!” I gritted furiously, feeling my rage surge as I recalled everything that happened at the meeting.“Do you have a problem that I’d be leading my husband’s pack while he’s away?” I remember her asking the elders who at first scoffed at her upfront but her confident demeanour and unwavering attitude make it impossible to dare belittle her. I thought since with Chris, I’d start setting things slowly making accomplishments that have them accomplish me as a proper replacement, Selena had one job, to sit still and act like the incompetent Luna she is but seeing her sit in the alpha’s sit, her eyes bloodshot while properly hiding her bloodlust from me made me think my plan might not work, so…I panicked, thinking everything I’d work so hard to build, all the struggles I went through to get to were I was might go down the drain. I mind-linked Walls who had joined hands with me with the agreement that Lydia would be
/Selena’s POV/“Where’s my husband you son of a bitch?” I demanded, grabbing Eric by the shirt as I asked for him to produce Chris at once.“I understand you’re being emotional right now Luna, but you have to calm down” While he sounded like he was comforting me, I could see through it, the mockery he concealed within it.“You son of a bitch you think you can fool me, you called him out two days ago, late at night, you think I don’t know ” I bellowed. I didn’t care that I was at the training grounds, and I didn’t care that we have eyes on us, I just…I just wanted to see him. It’s unlike Chris to be gone for so long, he’s been gone for a day, that’s the longest he’s been away from his pack.“Aren’t you being a little bit overprotective, he’s an alpha…he can take care of himself” Hearing him say that had people in response because it’s true, Chris can take care of himself but this predator, I narrowed my eyes at him and he leaned in and whispered into my ear.“Why don’t you go wait for
