The colony was under attack and everyone were caught up by surprise by an enemy pack, and even though they were always alert, this time they didn't have time to be prepared.It was one of those dark pitch nights, where you can barely see anything without the help of the moonlight. In the middle of the East Forest, there was a battle happening between two wolf packs. It was hard to tell which wolf belonged to which pack, except for the scent they exuded.There were roars everywhere and screams from the ones that didn't have time to transform yet. "Gerard, grab Selena and get out of here," someone shouted.It was an elderly woman, with gray hair and sweet, but wise eyes. It was easy to tell that she was very smart. She was trying to avoid the blow of a brown wolf, protecting herself with a metal stick. She hit his head with an immense strength, and the wolf collapsed instantly."Hurry up!" she screamed again to the young man from her pack. He rushed inside the house, dodgi
"Grandma, I'm leaving!" Selena shouted, already passing through the door, not waiting for her grandmother's response.She walked to college feeling the warm breeze from that morning. That lifted her spirit a little. Selena was always so curious about the different lifestyle of the humans and wanted to understand their world so badly, that she had enrolled in a college nearby. She always discovered something new in their world, and that captivated her very much.At the college stairs, she heard someone screaming her name. She turned and saw Maddie coming in her direction. Maddie was a very beautiful girl, red-haired with honey-colored eyes. She was one of the most beautiful women Selena had ever seen. Everyone used to say that Selena was incredibly beautiful too, just like her mother. She had her mother's long black hair, her tanned skin and grayish eyes. She saw in a few pictures and they were pretty similar indeed.Selena and Maddie weren't exactly what they called popular girls, b
When Selena and Maddie arrived at the Treehouse Bar, it was not hard to find where the group was. It was a very nice and casual bar that was attended by college students at the city. It was in the open-air and most of the people stood on their feet, drinking and chatting. Selena started to feel very nervous. She didn't know anyone that were with Robbie. While they were walking towards the group, William saw them and waved.Robbie had his back to Selena and Maddie, but when he saw William waving at them, he turned."Hey, you came!" he said, approaching the two girls."I told you we would come." Selena replied with a soft smile."Come, I'll introduce you both to everyone." Robbie passed his arms through Selena's and Maddie's shoulders.William gave Maddie a kiss on her cheek, leaving the girl completely blushed, but she was very good at pretending she wasn't shy.Robbie introduced everyone, but when he was about to introduce the last guy, Selena was already looking at him.At first, she
Selena stormed off towards Maddie. The girl looked surprised with Selena pushing Lucas away all of a sudden. "What happened?""Ah, now you were looking at me, huh?" Selena got back at her, regretting it the moment the words came out of her mouth. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be an idiot. I'm sorry." "Okay, relax, girl. Don't worry!" Maddie gave her a warm smile. Selena felt that she didn't deserve her friendship at all. She was just frustrated with the whole situation and didn't know how to react."I'm going home. You can stay here if you want, I don't want to spoil your night." But Maddie was already grabbing her purse. "I'm going with you." She said something on William's ear and then locked her arms with Selena's, pulling her to the bar's exit.They walked a short distance at total silence, when Maddie finally took the courage to ask again."Can you tell me now what happened?" Selena took a deep breath before looking at her friend. She was still feeling bad for snapping back at M
Selena was seated at the balcony stairs while appreciating the view of the forest and some young members from the pack playing with some wooden sticks.She couldn't stop thinking about Lucas and what he had said to her at the bar. She tried so hard to pretend she was unaware of his presence, but him, out of everyone, was the one that noticed. She was so consumed by those thoughts, that didn't notice someone getting closer. It was Gerard, a middle-aged man that she liked a lot. He was close to an older brother to her. "Hey, Sel. Bryce asked you to go see him." he said, with an empathetic smile on his face."He asked or he commanded?" she replied ironically. She got up on her feet and smiled at him. Gerard smiled back and passed his arms over her shoulders and accompanied her to her father's office."Try to stay calm, okay?" he begged. "I don't think it's good news for you." Selena looked at him, starting to get a little nervous. Gerard knew her, and for him to say that, she would
"How many are we talking about?" Selena asked, running after Darius and the twins."I'm not quite sure. I believe there are five of ours there, but I don't know how many of them." "Got it!" They ran for a few minutes inside the forest until they were able to see the packs battling. Selena could instantly recognize the five wolves from her pack, but they were outnumbered. For what she could count from that distance, there were at least eight wolves from the rival pack. She looked at Darius, but he was already on the way to the fight, already turned into his wolf shape. The twins did the same, and Selena followed them, suddenly feeling more powerful. She always felt great as a wolf. Her fur was dark black like her hair and her eyes yellow like the sun. She felt her senses getting more sharp. She could sense the scent of each wolf distinctly and see even better.She gained speed and went in the direction of two enemy wolves that were unjustly beating one of hers. She grabbed one of t
Selena opened her eyes with some difficulty, feeling her whole body ache. At first, she could only look at the ceiling, feeling some sort of familiarity with the place. It seemed to be her grandmother's living room. She also realized that the smell of medicines that made her wake up came from her grandmother, that was beside her. "Ah, you're finally awake!" her Grandma said, smiling at her. "I thought you wouldn't wake up anymore.""What is this smell?" Selena frowned. "I'm cleaning your wounds. It's not pretty." Grandma answered.Selena tried to sit on the bed, but her grandmother slapped her arm and commanded her to stay laid down.Not that she would be able to, since with just that little movement, she felt so much pain that almost fainted."Ah!" Selena moaned. "It's hurting like hell!""Don't say that!" Grandma protested. "I was hoping you could tell me what happened. No one could tell me how you got in this state."Selena's mind was spinning while she tried to remember anything
"Lord Shane! Lord Shane!" a dark-haired guy came shouting at a tall and serious man that was contemplating the moon through the window, with the hands on his pockets.They were inside of an old and abandoned warehouse outside of the city, where their pack lived.Lord Shane was their leader and they were a band of rogue wolves that thought they were better and stronger than most of the other wolves. They didn't care about any rules and always did what they wanted.Shane was a young man with blonde hair, green eyes and a face full of scars. His presence was terrifying and it was almost like the place got colder every time he arrived.They always liked to terrorize and put up a fight with other packs at the city for no reason."Why are you shouting? Didn't I tell you that I hate when you shout?" Shane closed his eyes for a moment before turning to the man in front of him. "What is it?" The young man seemed so excited, that he didn't seem to care that Shane looked very angry with the inte
They were staring at the sky for a while now, just examining the clouds and listening to the sound of the waves bursting on the shore.Selena and Lucas had gone inside to shower and put warm clothes since the weather was getting colder outside. Then, Lucas grabbed a bottle of wine and some food while Selena placed a towel on the sand so they could have a night picnic. Selena was still on cloud nine after the incredible day they had. It was exactly what she needed in life at that moment.Their lives were just beginning and they had a promising future ahead of them."Hey, why is it that every time I leave you alone you seem to get into a sort of interior analysis?" Lucas said as he got back with the wine and the food.Selena smiled and helped him by serving the wine into the glasses.They made a toast as Selena thought about what to answer him.Not that she had much to say, but it was starting to be a habit of hers to think about the future lately."I was just thinking about our future
They arrived at the house while the sun was still very high in the sky.Lucas parked, and they brought their luggage inside.Selena put on her bikini and Lucas was wearing his shorts, and while he was preparing some drinks for them, Selena organized their things outside the suitcases.Lucas came to her and handed her a glass of something colorful but very tasteful.They spent the whole day at the beach, talking, swimming, making out and laughing. Just being at each other's presence was more than enough.The sun was almost setting when Lucas told Selena about what had happened at the wedding party.Selena's jaw was widely opened and she forgot to breath for a moment."You saw… your mom?" she stuttered.Lucas nodded."Is that even possible?" she continued."I mean, I thought the same thing, but apparently it is. I mean, she did came here once right. Otherwise I wouldn't have been born." he said.Selena slapped his arm slightly."You know what I meant." she rolled her eyes.Lucas laughed
It took Lucas a few more minutes to pull himself together and go back to the party.It still felt like a dream that he had seen his mother, but he had to go back to his wedding.Selena should be looking for him.He went back to the house and bumped into someone on the way out."Hey, Lucas! We were looking for you." It was Maddie. The girl was already blushed from so many margaritas she had drank. "Hey! What happened? Why were you looking for me?" he asked nonchalantly."Well, we need the groom to cut the cake, you know? It is your wedding after all." the girl said annoyed but smiling. "Come on, Selena will kill us if we take too long." Maddie grabbed him by his hand and pulled Lucas outside to where the party was still going strong.He saw Selena at a distance looking at him with worried and curious eyes. She was actually really cute when she acted like that.Lucas saw her coming towards him with her arms crossed and trying to look angrier than she actually was."Where were you? I s
Lucas blinked a few times, trying to make sure he wasn't imagining anything, after all, he had some drinks during the night.Maybe the day was so overwhelming, that his brain was making things up. It couldn't be what he thought it was.Specially because he had never had an experience like that during his whole life. So why now?But as much as he tried to ignore that light, something inside him kept bothering him. He needed to check.Selena was shooting some glances at him during the dance, but he tried to pretend everything was ok.He didn't want to make her worried at that night. It was their wedding after all. And he wouldn't say something like that if he wasn't sure.She would probably think he was crazy.The music ended and Maddie came to say something to Selena, and Lucas thanked the girl inside his head.He needed a minute for himself, but that seemed to be an impossible mission at that crowded place."Baby, I'll go to the bathroom real quick. I'll be right back." he gave Selena
Lucas couldn't stand still during the whole day.He woke up early to finish some things before the ceremony, but as soon as he got back to the village and saw everyone organizing the place, the reality hit him.He would get married. To Selena, what was even more unbelievable.How could he be so lucky? He thought he would never be able to answer that question.It pissed him off that he couldn't see the girl until the end of the day, and not being able to enter the house made him even more anxious.He saw the night fall and the full moon appear very high in the sky, but the hours seemed to stop when the wedding hour was getting closer.He showered and got ready, and when he finally saw himself waiting for Selena at the end of that aisle, his heart was clearly trying to make a prank on him.He could hear his blood being pumped inside his veins, and as each minute passed without Selena appearing, all sort of thoughts came to his mind.She wouldn't give up. Right? She couldn't.She was so e
Selena collapsed on the couch. Grandma had never really talked so openly about her mother. Actually, that was a subject rarely brought up in front of Selena even since she was born.She could count of her fingers the times she was able to know more about her mother in a conversation. So the fact that Grandma wanted to give her something from her mother took her off guard."What do you mean, Grandma?" Selena asked with a low voice.Her hands were shaking when Grandma offered her a tiny velvet jewelry bag. She took the little bag from Cora's hand, not able to think properly."Your mother gave this to me before she gave birth to you. It was like she knew something was going to happen to her." Selena took her eyes away from the bag and looked at Grandma."What do you mean?""A few hours before she went into labor, she called me in her room and gave me this. She said that if something happened to her, she wanted you to get this on your wedding day." Selena could feel her tears coming ba
Selena and Maddie spent the whole day deciding the decoration, the food, the music, the dress, and all the stuff needed for the ceremony.The dress would take a little more time to be prepared, and Selena called Grandma during some time of that day, so she could ask if it was viable to do what she and Maddie thought.Grandma said it was a piece of cake for her, since she loved to sew and she would be more than honored to be the one that made her grandmother's wedding dress.Maddie stayed there for a few days, finishing everything up, and when Selena realized, it was already the day of the wedding.And she couldn't be feeling more nervous.Lucas had gone out really early that morning to grab some last stuff for the party, so when Selena woke up, he wasn't in the house anymore.Maddie was going to arrive right after lunch, so Selena still had some time alone to think about what that day meant to her.She could not believe she was marrying Lucas. If someone said that to her a few months b
After a few days, Selena was feeling much more relieved since the construction had finally been finalized. She and Lucas arranged to bring his pack at once, so they could accommodate and get used to their new lives. It took a few more days for everyone to be placed in their homes, tidy everything up and get acquaintance with the new members of the pack. And then Selena allowed herself to think about the wedding. That was consuming a lot of her time now, because she had to think of every single detail.Lucas did help when she asked, but she didn't think he would want to chose what type of flowers would match better with her dress.So she let the essential questions to him. For the rest, she invited Maddie to help.One morning, Selena woke up feeling very renewed and excited, so she grabbed her phone right after breakfast and called Maddie.The girl picked up after just one beep."What's up, girl?" she said lively."I'm going to pick you up now. So be ready in fifteen minutes." Selena
Selena was about to answer him, but Lucas grabbed her lower lip with his teeth and invaded her mouth with his tongue, involving their tongues in a very seductive dance.Selena felt her wrists being loosen as Lucas lowered his hand to her waist and placed the other behind her head, intertwining his fingers on her hair.So she lifted her arms and pulled him against her, so she could feel the weight of his body on top of her. Even though he was heavy, she liked to feel him all over her. It gave her a sense of protection, but domination at the same time, like he was making a statement that her body belonged to him and no one else.She bit his lip slowly and provocatively, making space for them to breath. Lucas' hand was all over her body, and Selena was losing her mind with his movements.She grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it up, taking it off and tossing it somewhere. She was always amazed every time she saw him without a shirt. His abs were so defined, and she loved to run her
