/Selena’s POV/ I knew the suspicious look Chris was staring at my mom, it’s alright if he’s distrustful of everything but he could at least see that my mom went through a lot these past few days, but then I realised he wasn’t just cold to my mom because he wanted to, if truly my mom had tried to kill herself, that…is terrible. It’s all my fault if only I had visited a little earlier. I thought feeling my heart squeezed in guilt. While I trudged behind Chris’ figure slowly and in silence I felt my heart shattering from the inside, since my mom decided to take the blame for my unwanted marriage, while everyone was scowling at Chris and blaming him for taking me for the marriage, it was only my mom that chuckled and admitted it was a fault at their side because if they hadn’t agreed to the marriage there was nowhere I could have been moved to the Crystal moon pack, all these thoughts kept running through my mind as I walked behind them, it took me a minute to notice that my shattering he
/Chris’ POV/ One moment I was certain of my affection for Selena, and the other minute she made me start doubting hers for me because suddenly I’m not sure how she actually feels anymore. She was Christian's chosen mate and neither of them said anything about it, it hurts…Chris was like a brother to me and Selena, she said she loved me, I wonder what they’ve done behind my back because the mate bond is meant to pull people together. While my mind was still a mess after hearing from Eric, I was suddenly thrown into Selena’s body. It wasn’t all that surprising anymore, we don’t know how the switch is activated, and now we aren’t even sure how we can switch back anymore, I felt like everything was in shambles, after getting into Selena’s body, I felt my whole world took a huge turn. No matter the hard time I was going through, I was taught not to show any weakness, always put on a smile and act strong, it’s how I’m made, because I’m an alpha, and alpha does not fear or cower but they a
/Selena’s POV/ “What does he mean by a depressed wolf?” I wondered after Chris explained to me what was going on with my wolf. “Why…how didn’t I know that?” I muttered and he sighed and turned away from me. “Your wolf still tried to help with the rejection but I guess it was too much for her, she almost become a dormant wolf…if she goes dormant Selena, you’d be no different from a human!” He snapped at me and I blinked blankly staring at him in surprise. “I did manage to stop her but it’ll take a while to get her back to how she used to be,” He said without meeting my eyes. “I’m still mad at you though, so…let’s go back home- “I understand that you’re mad, and I appreciate what you’ve done for me Chris, but I don’t wanna go home just yet” He immediately met my eyes now. “Selena-” He was about to protest but I found myself shutting him up with a kiss. I grabbed a handful of my hair on him to press him firmly into my embrace. He protested and fought against my hold but I wanted to
/Chris’ POV/ How could she do that? I honestly cannot believe she would do that. Yeah, maybe I wanted her, maybe the only reason I didn’t want any of it was that I felt really uncomfortable about it, but still I wanted her to stop, I can’t believe she would go on despite my resistance. This is crazy really, I can’t believe she would do that to me, I’m not even sure why I’m so fucking mad right now. “Alpha” Tina rushed over to me the moment he saw me from afar. It was time I tell them we are heading home. I feel kinda guilty that this is the first time I am seeing them since I came to the pack. I totally forgot to ask about everything that’s happened between Selena and them since the last time I saw them, now I’m clueless as fuck…what on earth am I gonna say to them? “Hey…you guys doing good?” I asked casually and she nodded vigorously. “After that fight, they haven’t crossed us since then, and we needn’t join them in the general cafeteria ever since you brought it up with them that
/Eric’s POV/ It’s been more than five days since Tina left the pack, it’s silly how she kept creeping into my mind every single time. I wasn’t expecting I’ll miss her this much, she was always around me so much that I forget how to live my life without her. I just finished pack training so I thought I’d give her a call. Chris has been acting surprisingly out of character these days, the way he talks and acts to me over the phone felt so unfamiliar that I begin to doubt if it was him I was talking to. The way his voice trembles slightly as he spoke, makes me think he was nervous or something, I’d normally dismiss it but it was getting too obvious to be considered a simple mistake. Christian also seems to have noticed but for some reason, he was keeping quiet about it. “Hey” Tina’s voice echoed through the phone, never thought I’d be so relieved to hear her voice. “Hey, you called me yesterday Eric, did you get in trouble? Why are you calling me again?” She asked and I chuckled softly
/Selena’s POV/ I know I'll have to make Chris understand that I wasn’t myself when that happened. I feel horrible about it too, I guess I’ll have to properly apologise. An advice mom gave me after she visited me, she was quick to notice something was wrong almost immediately. Though I didn’t exactly convey the details of what really happened, I did let her know it was my fault, she deserved to know that much, I can't have her blaming me for something I did wrong, then she smiled and asked me, why are you still here, the right thing to do immediately after you realise you did something wrong is to immediately try to fix it, apologise and make amends, it might not be an irreversible action but once the affected person realise you’re making effort, it assures them they you care of how they feel, so they forgive you so, I accepted going back home though I’d love to spend more time with my mom. I haven’t spent any proper quality time with her because I was busy taking care of Chris after
/Chris's POV/ I don't mind the tears of my flesh or the breaking of my bones as long as I get to protect Selena. I could feel her eyes on me from the car, and I'm glad she was safe in the car while I took care of our attackers but I think I underestimated them a little. Silver burns through our skin but they still had it lacing their claws, any wound I got from them before would instantly heal until the wolf with the Silver claw gave me claw marks behind me while I was fighting the other one that had me letting out a painful scream before cussing out feeling real pissed. "Son of a bitch!" I said through clenched teeth as my three attackers lined in front of me ready to launch another attack while I examine the gashing wound behind me that probably won't be healing any time soon since it's silver by the way. I need to wrap this up quickly. Chase is weak because he got shot with a wolfsbane needle weakening him a lot and Tina also had her hands full, I had to deal with three freaking
/Selena’s POV/ Chris...Chris…Chris…I couldn’t think straight, I think I passed out and the next time I opened my eyes, we were at the pack, Chris' body was still bleeding despite Chase's effort to stop the bleeding, so I’d grown really weak but the wound doesn’t hurt as much as my heart though, despite my whole world felt like it’s spinning I could only think of Chris who was abducted instead of me. Tina and Me as in Chris were the only people abducted, Chase and his mate, as well as Caroline was ignored, why though? Not that it mattered, I have to find Chris and save him before it was too late, if anything happened to me, I felt my blood run cold at the thought of Chris not being in my life anymore. Though it’s been a year since we got married, we haven’t really had a proper married life, we’re still trying to figure out our feelings for each other, we just started enjoying each other’s presence, I haven’t gone on dates with him yet, I…still haven’t told him how much I loved him, pr
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
