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
Selena didn't think she would actually be that nervous to go out with Lucas.Lucas sent her a text, and Selena didn't know how he got her number, asking if she wanted him to pick her up or if they should meet somewhere.Selena didn't want to bother him, nor she wanted someone from her pack seeing him around, specially not her father.It could be the end of that relationship even before it started.She said she would meet him at the park and then she went home to get ready.She took a shower, wore some comfy jeans and a jacket, and left to meet him. Her hands were a bit sweaty, but she tried to relax.She didn't have any reason to be nervous after all. Right?When she arrived at the park, it wasn't hard to find Lucas among everyone there.His appearance made him stood out like he wasn't even supposed to be part of that world. Selena couldn't believe how lucky she was because he wanted to spend time with her amongst everyone else in the world.She thought it should be normal for him to h
"I'm an Alpha, right? I should at least know something about others in the same position, specially the ones that live nearby." He had to come up with an answer quickly, but that seemed to convince her.Lucas didn't want to get deeper into that matter. He wouldn't tell her that he was the one that asked her hand in marriage to her father."I see what you mean. It makes sense." "So, you were saying your life is pretty boring." Lucas encouraged her to continue. He wanted to know everything he could about her."Yes. My mother died giving birth to me, so I've never met her. My father hates me because he thinks I killed her somehow." Lucas could see how Selena's sad eyes gave her away. It must had been a very lonely childhood without her parents present in her life.He clenched his fist in anger. He hated Bryce even more now."So the only person I had by my side during all my life was my grandmother. She is everything to me." Selena's eyes changed from sad to radiant in a second as she
Demi looked a little intrigued, looking from Selena to Lucas repeatedly. It was like she was trying to imagine how and when that combination happened."What are you doing here?" Lucas asked a little uncomfortable.It was clear to Selena that he wasn't comfortable with that situation."I am going to pick something I bought at the store. What about you guys? What brings you here? I didn't even know you were friends." Selena noticed a bit of sarcasm on her voice, but she wasn't in the mood to answer. She would let Lucas deal with her."We were just taking a walk." Demi looked at Selena."I see. For a moment, I thought I had misunderstood this." she pointed to the two in front of her. Selena didn't like the way the girl looked at her when she said that. It was like Demi was looking down upon her.In an impulse and without thinking, Selena grabbed Lucas' hand and intertwined their fingers. Exactly like a couple would do.Demi straightened her eyes to their hands and looked at Lucas with
After the encounter, Demi left Lucas and Selena behind with a rage inside her body that she couldn't control. How come Lucas had moved on, specially with that girl?Demi didn't even know they were close in the first place. The only time she saw them together was on that stupid day at the bar, when her and Lucas met the others. The whole point why she asked him out was to be alone with him. Maybe even try to remember the old times and have a one night stand with him. But that was out of the picture the moment she saw everyone else on the table.She did her best to pretend she wasn't mad, but the fact that Lucas picked on Selena the whole night and didn't pay a lot of attention to her made her even more annoyed.Now, she could barely believe when she saw him and Selena chatting on the street, with big smiles on their faces.It was really hard to accept what was right in front of her face.Demi never saw Lucas so delighted. Seeing Selena hold his hand like they were a couple in love ma
They arrived at the bar in silence, as Selena was still very furious about what she had experienced with Demi on the street.Lucas was also intrigued about this new Selena. She was always trying to make it seem like she didn't care much about him, even though it was pretty obvious for him that she did. Every time he came close to her, he would feel her nervousness and how much she tried to be cool about him being so near.They sat on the stools near the bar and ordered two beers to the bartender.Selena was very confident that she could win the bet, but at the same time she just wanted to drink and forget that awful encounter with his ex.The barman put the glasses in front of them, and Selena didn't even wait to make a toast. She took a huge sip of the drink while Lucas was still holding his glass, waiting for her. He made a toast in the air by himself and drank the beer."So, are we just going to wait to see who wins the bet in silence or we can talk during the process?" Lucas mock
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
