/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
/Selena's POV/Waking up to the soothing scent of my mate and his calming warmth, I don't know why I felt the need to immediately reached for him. My wolf purred in my head as snuggled up to him before I was fully conscious, then I opened my eyes to see him staring down at me. With relief in his eyes, his tender fingers moved around my messy hair which was now covering part of my eyes."Chris" I called softly. My wound was probably gone but my wolf was recovering from the energy used in healing. Being an omega sucks big time, I'll be probably dead if I hadn't marked Chris, sharing a mental strength with his wolf, through the bond I was able to withstand the pain that comes with immediate healing and my depleting energy was soon being complimented, but now that the bond between Chris and I is complete. It worries me because deep down I know, we'll never remain the same."Hey, I'm right here" He crooned, his voice holding a strange gentility that was impressive and scary at the same time
/Lydia’s POV/ I fumbled my fingers nervously in my room. My dad had caught me sneaking back in a few days ago and had thrown me back indoors after he realised what I’d done. I wasn’t thinking straight when I agree to what Holland proposed, I have no idea how he knew where to find me, neither do I know how he figured I was in love with the alpha. He only promised to assault Selena, to make it impossible for her to remain the Luna, I didn’t think he’ll actually try and kill the Luna. The alpha went insane after that, I heard he marked the Luna, and there were even rumours that the Luna is pregnant, that’s why he suddenly grow protective of her but whatever the case the alpha doesn’t look like he was gonna stop until he found the accomplice that abetted Holland, but I was I supposed to know that damn guy would try to kill the Luna. After hearing he assaulted the Luna before, I merely thought he wanted to mate with her, I shook my leg nervously as I waited for my dad, he figured out e
/Selena’s POV/ I had mixed feelings seeing my bully right next to my mate, the smirk on his face as he would usually sit and watch me with cold eyes at the back of the class made me gulp. He had similar cloudy grey eyes to Chris, if his hair wasn’t dyed platinum blonde, his resemblance to Chris would have been uncanny. He was the most handsome in our class back then, and honestly, I once had a crush on him, his cold eyes, indifferent look was the complete opposite of Chris, Chris used to be cold to me once but he didn’t give off this chilling aura that had me thinking I was trapped in a snowy mountain at night. The fine dimples that outlined in the middle of his cheeks at the smallest distortion of his face made his outstanding looks seem rather unfair, though I still think my mate is the most handsome though Christian has a face that makes every woman gush. Though his hawk eyes steadily studies me as he walked into the hospital room, then he wore a forced smile. “I thought you sai
/Chris' POV/She can try to hide it all she wants but I know better than anyone, she was affected by Chris's presence. I don't know much about what happened between them, but I have a feeling they both had an unspeakable history.Christian has always been someone mischievous and hard to read, people close to him know he was someone whose real character you can't seem to fathom, a chameleon who had different shades for every environment, though in my case I have always known him for being fun and playful though everyone that has ever tried to describe him has a different version to tell, some said he was cold and indifferent while some claim he was loving and kind, but I've never known him to be any of those things, because he wore too many faces so I lost track of which was truly his, I stop caring which face he shows me, and just accepted every one of them. But I couldn't stop being curious, which face did he actually shows Selena, to make her cower in front of him, what actually hap
/Selena’s POV/ I don’t remember much of what happened back then but after Chris told me I was drunk, it all made finally made sense, why the memory was hazy and so hard to recollect, it all made perfect sense now…though I seem to have gotten a picture of what happened, it made me wonder why Christian beat those boys since it doesn’t appear that he killed them, it was more like he maimed them since I still saw them in school not too long afterwards, and if those boys had died it might have caused a serious problem, war would have been unavoidable, they were future alphas after all, I thought. “I was really a fool” I kept muttering as I finally put the pieces together after talking to Chris. Christian definitely wasn’t involved in the bullying incident, he probably ignored it and attacked them later and I happened to see it but hold on…why did I think Chris was my mate and tried to reject him? Why did that misunderstanding occur? My head hurt from trying to draw the image, but whatever
The Switch 31/Selena’s POV/I felt a strange sense of serenity as Chris wolf circled around me like a happy puppy glad that it’s owner is home, his fur all around my body while I run my hands on them, they felt so smooth and slithery, it felt so cool to the touch too, his pheromone scent oozing off from him had my nipples hardening, goddamnit, he smells so good. It’s amazing how he towered me in his wolf form, am I that short?“Our mate,” Ava said in my mind and I nodded, feeling strangely proud. “Let’s shift Ava,” I told her subconsciously, and she whined. Acting like an introverted wolf really? I thought as I allowed her to take control, my royal blue eyes softened into light blue ones as she took over, even though she was in charge I figure she had no intention of being on fours, well until Ace whimpered next to her.“Argh” I cried out as she finally tried to shift to her form but why am I feeling all the fucking pain? I thought as I cried out every time a bone broke. Why? Why is
/Chris’ POV/ “Enough!” I snapped as I appeared at the landing to see Eric nagging Christian who seems to be enjoying the one-man show while chewing chips and Eric couldn’t even see that he was enjoying the scene while he kept raving like a mad dog. “Chris…you’re not gonna say anything- “Christian has a place in the pack…he’s family, you don’t have to question his presence and please keep it down, Selena is sleeping upstairs” I warned before climbing downstairs. “It doesn’t bother you- “What?” I furrowed wondering what he was talking about. “He didn’t know did he?” Eric turned back at Christian who rolled his eyes dramatically while shrugging nonchalantly. “Christian what’s he talking about- “Chris do you know why the legend of the ice wolf it's kinda common- “Can we not talk about this?” Christian narrowed his cold eyes at Eric. “I only came for Chris and I would be leaving soon, don’t cause an uproar, Eric!” He said ferociously my eyes darting from Eric to him wondering what
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
