Selena woke up and saw herself in the same place again. What was she doing at Lucas' room?She didn't know how she ended up there, since the last thing she remembered was that she was being attacked.Gradually, she recalled what happened at the glade and how she was able to hypnotize the wolf.But how she got to his house was still a mystery. She got out of the room, looking for Lucas. She wanted to see his face so bad and sense that safety he exuded. She just wanted him to hug her and tell her everything would be fine.She found him on the couch, very concentrated, reading some book on his hands. He didn't notice she was there.Selena kept examining him, how he acted when no one was around. He was just perfect.After looking at him for a few seconds, she decided to talk because it would be weird if he saw her staring at him."Hi." she said, but her voice was hoarse.Lucas lifted his head surprised."Hey! You finally woke up. I was getting a bit worried." he smiled, and Selena felt he
Once more, Selena saw herself engaged in a kiss with Lucas. That was the second time in less than a week. How did that happen? How a simple date with Robbie ended up with her at Lucas' house, kissing him? Lucas had his hand on her neck. Selena, as always, was losing the battle against herself. The moment their lips sealed, she was already into the kiss, like there was no tomorrow. Only then she realized how badly she wanted to be kissed again.She brought her hands to his neck as well, embracing him and pulling him towards her. With that movement, the weight of his body made him lean forward, laying her against the couch seat. He was lied down on top of her, wrapped in a very passionate kiss.All they could feel in that moment was the heat inside their bodies, a primitive and animalistic sensation, but at the same time, a warm peacefulness and the urge to never end that moment.It was like the world had stopped only for them to enjoy each other. Everything felt right.In a moment
Bryce was seated on his usual chair at his office, staring at a dark-haired man he had never seen before."You said your name is Nick and you're from Shane's pack?" Bryce seemed intrigued.The man had asked to have a private meeting with Bryce, and that aroused his curiosity."Exactly. I came to talk to you about something very important and that interests you." "Well, then take a seat and just tell me. You have my attention." Nick sat in a chair in front of Bryce's table, like he was in a job interview. Bryce was very intimidating, but Nick was already used to Shane. Compared to his boss, Bryce looked like a little bunny.Shane was a thousand times more daunting."I came to talk to you about Selena." Nick started, and he could tell that Bryce didn't expect that."Selena? What could you possibly have to talk about her?" Bryce said disgusted."I wonder if you already know that she has powers." Bryce almost dropped the glass of water in front of him. He was looking at Nick completel
Lucas arrived at Bryce's house, but had to wait outside because the man was having a meeting with someone else.One of his henchman said that he should not be interrupted because the meeting appeared to be really important.That made Lucas really curious, so he enhanced his hearing so he could have an idea about what was going on inside the room.But he did not expect to listen what he listened.That was Nick, the same guy who attacked Selena, offering Bryce an alliance with Shane? And he wanted to offer a marriage to Selena?Lucas almost lost control of himself and took the door down.What the hell were they planning? What that Shane wanted to do by marrying her?Lucas hid himself and waited until Nick was gone before he could enter Bryce's office. He was so furious that he could barely look at Bryce without wanting to jump on his neck. Not to mention Nick, but it was a good thing that he had left.Lucas would deal with him on another day."Lucas, I wasn't expecting you."Bryce said
Lucas was still waiting some response from Bryce. He didn't want to push the man too hard. He wasn't a very patient man after all.Lucas was already taking a huge risk by threatening him that way.It was true that he was more than capable of going to war against Bryce and his pack, but he wouldn't want to do that.It was Selena's family after all. It was all she had.How could he be responsible for killing lots of them? He wouldn't be able to forgive himself. How could she?But Selena married to someone else other than himself wasn't an option either. "Okay. I'll keep our agreement. I hope you'll do the same. A war won't help any of us." Bryce stated after a while in silence.Lucas straightened his eyes to the man in front of him."Can I trust you?" Bryce shook his head slightly before saying: "Yes, you can. I won't go back on my word." Lucas wasn't convinced. He could never trust someone like Bryce. But for now, that was enough for him.He bought some time for himself to discover
Selena waited until Lucas finished his bath so they could have dinner.She tried not to think of ways to make him kiss her, but she was very pissed at him for leaving her sat on the bed like a rejected woman.It was true that she wanted him to kiss her again very badly, but she wouldn't admit it. She was very proud for that.Lucas left the bathroom like nothing happened before, and they had a very calm and peaceful dinner while drinking some wine.The tension between them was almost visible and palpable in the air. He kept looking at her during the entire dinner, and she wasn't able to stop looking at him as well.How could she? His hair was wet and he was wearing a very casual shirt, but Selena thought he couldn't be any more handsome than that.As the wine was making effect on her body, she could feel that she had to go home urgently. She couldn't spend another night at his house.Only God knows what could happen.Selena got up saying she had to go, but helped Lucas clean everything
If Lucas wasn't holding her, her legs would give away her nervousness. "I have to go home. I have class tomorrow morning, and it's very late already." Lucas smiled gently and released her.Selena felt her skin freeze at the same moment, and she couldn't believe how much she missed his touch on her skin.How was that normal? Was that what humans felt when they had an attraction to someone, when they liked someone?How could they live with that powerful feeling? It was consuming every part of her soul the need she had to be near him now.She didn't want him to let her go. She actually thought he was going to ignore what she had asked, and kiss her.But she was wrong. He was now grabbing his cellphone and keys to take her home.He didn't even ask her to stay."I'll take you there. And don't even try to argue with me about this." Lucas said seriously.He was very intimidating, so Selena didn't even try to say something about that.She simply followed him out of the house and got into hi
"What did you just say? I don't think I heard you correctly." She looked at Maddie for the first time. Her eyes could not be more open. Selena almost laughed. Maddie blinked a few times before she pulled herself together."What did I miss? How could you possibly be in love with him?" "That's what I'd like to know. I mean, I tried so hard not to." Selena sighed."Wait, wait, wait. Go back to the beginning. Last time I checked, you were going on a date with Robbie and you hated Lucas." "I mean, I also don't understand. He pisses me off and sometimes I swear that I hate him, but I can't deny what I feel every time I see him." Selena was trying to tell everything she could so Maddie could understand the situation, without having to talk about their werewolf origin. It didn't seem so hard when she thought about it first."Isn't that how you feel about William?" Selena was also trying to understand everything as she talked to Maddie."Well… I wouldn't say I'm in love with him. It's j
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
