/Selena’s POV/I’ve been avoiding Chris ever since our last meeting. Not because I was mad at him for having his ex so close, not because I knew for sure they used to be a thing but because his uncertainty about his feeling confuses me.Can he not see it? He cares for me for crying out loud! Why is he so indecisive? Does he think it's the mate bond? Everything he does, does he think it had something to do with the mate bond? What the hell is wrong with him?My muddled thoughts had me feeling insecure and uncertain about the bond. I sighed and reached for his mark, softly rubbing the area. I didn’t ever want to regret sharing a mark with Chris but what was I supposed to do when all I feel is anguish and despair, the piling doubts that had me wondering why I agreed to the mark in the first place, it was already scary enough watching him cheat on me without the mark, if I ever had to witness that again while carrying his mark…I don’t think I’ll ever be able to take it.I’m scared, I thoug
/Chris' POV/I know it wouldn't end well with Kayla and Selena sitting side by side at a table. Selena hasn't come down to eat with me since Kayla came. I didn't want it to be like that, I just...I want us to be okay already but it seems we have a lot of issues we've got to resolve, so when she tried to leave. I couldn't stop myself from reaching out to her, so I asked her to stay, I didn't want her to leave me alone and surprisingly she gave in and sat back on her chair but then Kayla stood.I might have wanted Selena to stay but I didn't want Kayla to leave either, she's my friend, one of my closest friends even if we used to be more than that once. "Kayla - "I lost my appetite" She claimed before she walked around her chair and headed for the stairs."That...was quite entertaining" Christian commented before he returned to his seat with a tray of sliced fruits. I guess he was in the kitchen. Eric's eyes darted from Selena to Christian and then back to her, why does it seem to me
/Selena’s POV/ I think I’ve gone insane, I don’t know what had me walking up to Chris' room the moment I couldn’t get myself to sleep, I almost want to pull out every strand of my hair as I slowly approached the door to his room, which was strangely open, then I met Kayla. It’s annoying seeing her standing so close to Chris, honestly, it took me every ounce of energy I had left not to grab her, because I could tell under the night-robe she was wearing, she had no goddamn thing, if you think I’m gonna let you have your fucking way with my mate, you’re freaking wrong, I thought after I rolled my eyes at her while watching her leave, then I’m left with Chris, whose calming scent had my worries disappearing almost immediately. And when he lifted me up and brought me to his bed, I felt the strange need to have him immediately but I retrained myself until he kissed me first where I lost all reasoning. Yeah, I needed some comfort since I was still grieving my dad but definitely not in this
/Eric’s POV/Selena might not be looking at me but I heard my eyes on her, I would watch her eat, read, and do everything in her room and somehow I wish I could reach her already, but I know I could, not after that mistake, I almost took her by force, she must have been very scared. I thought recalling how pissed she looked as I pinned her hand to the headboard, the memory had me shutting my eyes tight as walked into the alpha’s residence the second day. Christian sauntered into the dining room with a cup of coffee in his hands. Lucky bastard, I thought frowning after our eyes met. Christian being a snow wolf, a legendary rare wolf from his mother's side of the family, has the ability to choose his mate, while the moon goddess assigned mates for every single wolf, his wolf chose his own and he can’t choose again if they don’t share a bond or mark, and once his wolf chooses, the chosen mate would automatically feel the mate bond. Christian hated the fact that his wolf chose Selena bec
/Chris’ POV/Something’s wrong, I thought feeling a strange fever take over me after patrol, a strange urge to shift overwhelmed me, so I did but the strange heat didn’t stop so I shifted back and walked back home after changing back into my clothes, my body hurts for some reason.“Selena” My eyes widened in surprise after seeing her in my room, sitting at the foot of the bed with her head buried into her knees which she had her arms around. She slowly raised her head to look me in the eyes, how long has she been like that? I wondered for some minutes as she stood and walked into my arms, I smiled and rubbed down on her head, but I feel strange though. I thought as I hugged her, inhaling her pheromones to calm myself but it was strangely not enough, I needed more…I slowly lifted her chin up to kiss her, the feeling of warmth and familiarity run through me like a flash, surging electricity but I still feel weird.“I miss you” My eyes flutter open in surprise after Selena hummed that to
/Selena’s POV/I was only able to regain control from Ava after we got to the dining room and it makes me kinda happy honestly, but not long after we were both settled in the dining chair to start eating, Chris looked somewhat uncomfortable, it makes me kinda worried because he wasn’t looking at me, instead, he was staring at Kayla who had a mischievous smile on her face. He had her head tilted to the side while her fingers makes sly gestures on her plate as she took her time to eat. What is she doing? I wondered in confusion because she had a smug smirk on her face that made me feel rather uncomfortable, she definitely had something up her sleeves again and Chris….why does he look like he could barely hold his wolf back? I jolted in surprise when Chris suddenly rose to his feet.“I…I need a run-“But you barely ate anything” I pointed out staring at his food which he hardly touched but the constant glinting in his eyes makes it impossible to focus on what he said next before he storm
/Chris’ POV/ It’s already tiring enough having to be Kayla’s chosen mate, which I figured because her scent was quite alluring and immediately after I stood and walked out of the house she followed me, and then we shared a kiss, something I wish I had stopped, but Kayla can be persistent, only when we kissed did I realised how fucked I am. If that didn’t mess my head up enough, she just have to point out to me that Selena is attracted to Christian. I’ve had lots of thoughts going through my mind already, It’s already tiring enough, but Selena looked me in the face and told me she had no intention of getting away from Christian, not like I can force her or anything, but it’s so annoying when there’s nothing I can do to stop her from acting irrationally. Christian definitely did not like her, so it should be alright, Right? How messed up, I scoffed realising how I needed a one-sided assurance to make sure Selena stays mine. What exactly do I want from her? Now I’m wondering since it s
/Selena’s POV/Being back home seems so strange and awkward, the land that used to be so familiar and warm felt alien to me. Every step I took forward to the alpha’s residence was weighed down by emotions I couldn’t fathom, words left unspoken and jumbled up feelings that confuses me. How do I feel to be back home? It was a question I found asking myself. I thought the feeling of loneliness and despair that plagued me will disappear or at least stay hidden in the presence of the place I was once familiar with, but I was wrong, walking down the once clear path that had been infested by overgrown weeds now to the alpha’s residence where I’m supposed to meet my mom and my brothers had my heart feeling heavy.The once smiling faces and vibrant looks once thrown my way were now replaced with cold curious glances that had me lowering my head to avoid meeting eyes with any of the wolves that had their eyes on me as the warriors accompany me. If I could be feeling this uncomfortable for the s
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
