/Christian’s POV/ My heart was racing, which was surprising because it’s never acted like that. I was dumbfounded and I find it hard to think, no matter how much I try to think, I couldn’t think of anything to say and Chris wasn’t of much help either, the way he kept staring at his mate as I was forced to sit next to Caroline who seems rather forward and ongoing. I can’t believe she just caused a scene right now, I thought as she casually related our order to the waiter that just came around. “What would you like to have?” The male omega said to me with a seductive smile. “I can recommend something if you don’t mind” He gave a bright smile and was about to lean in and point to something that was supposedly on the menu but Caroline stood from her seat with was at the other end close to the window then dragged her chair so sit at the side of me, between me and the waiter before he gets to lean in. “I can recommend something for you” She smiled at me just as brightly and I reluctantly
/Selena’s POV/ “So, you told him you wanna mark him?” I chuckled for the tenth time after Caroline narrated her ordeal to me about her little moment with Christian which didn’t end well by the way. “You aren’t supposed to be mocking me right now you know?” She furrowed arranging herself on her chair. Her legs folded over her chest with her flowery sundress pulled over it and her hands fastened around her knees. “I wasn’t mocking you though, I was just freaking surprised, yeah before you remind me I know how much we fantasized about our mates and what we intend to do after we found them but right, I get it” I quickly cut her short as she opened her mouth to talk and she pouted looking all cute. “But that was too fast Caroline, I definitely remember telling you he was rejected and he’ll find it difficult to open up to you which means you have to penetrate his walls slowly, you can’t just dive right in, he can’t match your pace Caroline, so try to match his” I advised and she sighed he
/Chris’ POV/ My wolf kept growling, hating every second her eyes stayed glued on Christian, why is she staring at him so intensely, why is she looking at him like that? Does she really have no feelings for Christian? Why isn’t she looking at me? I found myself doubting her, and that look Christian gave him before Caroline interrupted, I found myself wondering what it meant but then she finally looked my way, with eyes filled with guilt. I couldn’t stand it so I decided to go wash up first, I didn’t expect Kayla to follow me. She really shouldn’t be following around like that, because of that I almost made a mistake, my rut was coming, I can definitely feel it, and last night I almost lost control after Kayla’s scent hit me. Normally, an alpha wouldn’t be in rut if his omega who he shared his mark is pregnant, so I think Kayla being my second mate has something to do with my rut coming. I guess I’ll have to stick to drugs this time, it hardly works for me though, it’s why I had to res
/Selena’s POV/ I was mad, I was freaking mad…no, that’s an understatement. I was furious, since we have merged our rooms, Chris and I shared his bed which he recently changed into a bigger size was it queen’s size again, but last night when he returned to the room looking pale and disorganised, I remember asking him what the problem was and I clearly remember him telling me it was nothing, no goodnight kisses and he went straight to sleep after getting what looks like a tablet from the drawers and using it, maybe he wasn’t feeling well, I didn’t even doubt that he might be with that wench. I remember sighing heavily after I got back to the training ground, and I just told Caroline I wanted to leave so she could have some alone time with Christian but she could immediately sense something was up with me though when she probed me for answers I wasn’t able to provide her one. “You can’t leave me here alone with Christian” I remember her protesting so hard but she was rather doing just f
/Christian’s POV/I can’t pretend I’m not mad at Kayla for what she did, she might be temporarily contented after taking advantage of Chris like that while he’s in his rut but he’s never gonna forgive her for it, I’m sure because that’s the type of person he was. If Selena hadn’t come there sooner, Chris would have landed more lethal damage on me for trying to separate him from his mate, my little attempt was met with aggressiveness, and he kinda misses my face since I immediately covered it with my hands so his scratch ended up on my hands either, it still kinda stings really, an alpha claws, it wasn’t healing as it would never and the bleeding…I sighed wanting to go out to get some disinfectant and bandage it after Selena managed to get Chris upstairs, seeing me in his house would have prompted him to attack me again, after all, I’m an alpha.Normally, alphas do not enjoy other alphas coming into their territory but we aren’t just animals, we are intelligent beings, we are humans an
/Selena’s POV/ The dining room was unusually quiet today despite, Kayla and Christian being present, Caroline wasn’t exempted. It’s pretty unusual to have them all at the dinner table the same time as us as well as the two new addition to the pack, the young alpha, Rick and Caroline, well, if the sudden full house didn’t surprise me, the awkward silence definitely did. I know I’m giving Chris the cold shoulder because of what happened yesterday and last night but I didn’t expect the same scenario with Caroline who would chatter away anytime she’s with Chris but now, she’s trying her best not to meet his eyes and Kayla, her eyes were glued on Chris who was stealing glances at me. While the awkwardness persists the young alpha sitting with us at the dining table seems rather invested in his food, not giving a damn about the tension as we all had our breakfast in silence. “Thank you for the food” Christian was the first to stand, drawing back his chair before he rose to his feet almost
/Chris’s POV/ She seems pretty mad at me. I’m not fully aware of everything that happened the previous day since Ace cut me off, that bastard. “I can hear you…you know” He voiced and I hissed loudly. “Are you outta your goddamn mind, you forced yourself on our mate- “But I didn’t, she wanted me, she wanted us” He defended, he sounded so sure I almost believed him. Then images of the previous day came flooding into my head. Memories Ace kept from me, the way Selena had made him return him, the way he had brought him to the bed, and how Selena had resisted at first but when Ace whimpered and wore a sad pitiful look Selena who was reaching for the drawers to take something suddenly stopped and glanced at him. “Do you want me Ace?” Her melodious voice rang, and her tender hands trailed on my flesh as she spoke softly. Of course, Ace had said yes and Selena had taken her clothes off herself, leaving herself bare and on display for him, I can believe she even touched herself to prepare
/Selena’s POV/“Are you going somewhere?” I asked Chris as he drape himself in a designer jacket, shoes and watch. I almost forgot how hot he was once he dresses up since, and I don’t mean he isn’t hot just wearing slackers around the house but I meant hotter. He had his hair styled back and he was even flaunting his scent, well…alpha doesn’t like to wear cologne and if they wanted one, they prefer one made from their scent.“Yeah, I’ll be visiting Rick’s school, are you going somewhere?” He asked since I was dressed up as well, I wouldn’t call that dressing up since short flowery dress that stopped above my knee and I had a ballerina flat to go with it.“Oh, I decided to drop by the hospital to get my scan done. I was gonna ask you for doctor Henry’s number, why are you visiting Rick’s school?” I asked in turn.“He got suspended though he was a bully victim and his victimiser is still in school” He paused after I walked up to him to help with his watch since he seems to be having dif
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
