Selena passed the whole morning thinking about the ambush. She was starting to get suspicious of everything and everyone. Why would someone try to ambush her? Did it have something to do with her powers? Her grandmother insisted that she kept that a secret, which made a lot of sense, since they were a threat even for Selena herself.While leaving class, Selena had to stop at the library to grab some books, and Maddie had to go home in a hurry because she had a job interview scheduled.Selena was left alone and while she went outside of the building checking the books she had just gotten, she didn't see when someone stopped in front of her.It was Robbie, and she almost bumped into him, if she hadn't gotten her head up in time."Oh, I'm sorry! I was distracted and didn't see you there." she apologized, getting herself together after the scare."It's ok, actually I shouldn't stop in front of you like that. " Robbie said with a smile. " Anyway… If I didn't know better, I'd think you're
Selena arrived at the Treehouse Bar and found Robbie, Maddie and William right away. She sat at the table with them and ordered a beer, still a little uncomfortable with the whole situation.But just when she was starting to get a bit more relaxed, the most unexpected thing happened.She was seated inside the bar facing the door, and when she lifted her head, she had to blink twice to make sure she wasn't imagining things.That was no one other than Lucas himself entering the place. And even worst than him being there, was the fact that he wasn't alone.He had a beautiful blonde girl beside him. And she was also a werewolf, from what Selena could tell. Selena's guts shrunk in anger, surprising even herself. Why would she bother if Lucas was with someone else?She never imagined something like that would make her feel those type of feelings."Hey, look! It's Lucas and Demi." William said loudly, with his hand already up, waving to the newcomers.Selena cursed inside her head.Lucas and
Selena shook her head, but that was not a smart move. Since she had already drunk a lot of beers, the shaking just made her head even more dizzy.She couldn't fall for him. She didn't even know him well. And he was a jerk. How could she fall in love with someone like him?While thinking about that, Selena looked at herself in the mirror and fixed her hair. It was getting hard to have control over her actions, and specially over her tongue.If Lucas continued to tease her, she was afraid that she would give him some sharp answers in front of everyone.She left the bathroom looking down, taking deep breaths to sober up. And then she bumped into something. Or better yet, someone.Before she had the chance to lift her head, she already knew who that was. That man fragrance and that fresh morning smell were unmistakable. She couldn't take it off of her mind for days now."I thought you had run away again." his voice was low, but at the same time, strong enough for her to hear. The sentence
Selena went wandering through the streets, staggering. She refused resolutely that Robbie accompanied her home. That could never happen. She had to go home by herself. But she was still very drunk and with a hell of a headache.She crossed the street and turned left, and that's when she regretted going home in that state. With that dizziness, she started to think her mind was playing tricks on her.She could swear she saw a guy next to a tree, staring at her. But she couldn't sense anything, like his smell or anything, and she couldn't be clear if he was indeed looking at her. If he was some stalker or thief, she wasn't going to be able to fight him. She was barely standing up. The guy had dark hair and was very young, but his eyes caught Selena's attention. She thought they were pretty familiar, but she could not remember where she could had seen them."Selena."She heard a voice coming from behind her, which almost caused her a heart attack."Holy sh*t!" Selena cursed, turning on
Selena woke up feeling like she had been hit by a bus. It seemed like someone was hammering her skull from inside out.Apparently werewolves also had hangovers. While still making sense of where she was, someone entered the bedroom in a burst, making a loud noise with the door.Selena could not believe when she saw Lucas standing in front of her, with a glass of water and an aspirin in one hand, and a towel on the other."Morning, princess. I came to bring you your breakfast." he said offering her the aspirin and the water. "You don't look very good."Selena was still trying to figure out what had happened. What was she doing there? Was that his room?She swallowed the aspirin, hoping that the construction inside her head would cease soon."I also brought you this. I think you'll feel a lot better after a shower. You can use my bathroom." Lucas offered her the towel."What am I doing here?" Selena got up from the bed in a rage, but sitting immediately after that. Not a smart move.She
At first, Selena got so scared with that sudden kiss, that she didn't know how to respond. But after a while, her instincts kind of kicked in, and she couldn't control herself.She put her arms around his neck, pulling him even more towards her, like there was still some space between them.Lucas was also surprised because he didn't think she would surrender to him. He thought that she would push him and curse his entire family for kissing her like that.But she was actually kissing him back. Selena felt a heat inside her body and her mind was getting full of dirty thoughts about Lucas and what she wanted to do with him.With an abrupt shove, Selena got away from him, looking very shocked with herself. She didn't know how she got the strength to separate from him, from that kiss. It was the most incredible feeling she had ever felt.But she got back to her senses, regretting it the moment Lucas released her from his arms. It felt so good to be there. It was like his arms were made fo
The journey was very long and tiring. Although Grandma was very active and strong for her age, by the time she arrived at her destination, her body was in need of a great sleep and a warm meal.She knocked on the door of a wooden shack in the woods, in a city a bit far from where she had left.A tall black man opened the door, revealing a room full of people. There were women and men gathered on the couch, the chairs and standing, all of them looking at the door. At her."Good evening, Cora. Long time no see." the man said. He had a very strong English accent."Oh, that's a name I haven't heard in years." she smiled. "How are you, Clifford?" she gave him a very maternal hug."Very happy to see you." he stated making way for her to pass."Ah, you are all here already." Grandma said entering the place. "Sorry I'm late. I'm not getting any younger, you know?" Everyone laughed, welcoming the old lady. It wasn't a very big shack, so the room was very crowded, but nobody seemed to be dist
Selena passed the whole weekend thinking about that day at Lucas' house. She just couldn't take him off of her mind.She didn't have much to do at home. Her grandmother was away, Maddie was busy with only God knows what, and it's not like she had many friends anyway.She seized that opportunity to try and learn how to control her powers. But no matter how hard she tried, she wasn't able to ignite the powers to appear.Apparently they just showed up when she was in a dangerous situation and with her life at risk. Frustrated, she decided to take a walk at her father's house surroundings, since she didn't think it was going to be a good idea to walk around the city by herself.After the ambush, and after her grandmother's warning, Selena thought it would be better to lay low for a while.She was walking near a small lake inside the forest when she detected a familiar scent. It was him.The same wolf that ambushed her the other day, the same wolf that attacked her on the forest the first
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
