Selena was finally back at college after one week of suspension.Not that she was excited to get back to her classes, but that environment always made her happy.She wanted to give Maddie some space, since she was spending the whole week at her house, so she decided to go back home after college that day.When the last class of the day ended, she grabbed her bag and got out of the classroom.When she was leaving some books on her locker, she noticed someone approaching her with her peripheral vision.Just when she closed the locker's door that she realized it was Robbie.She hadn't seen him in a long time. And so much had happened since the last time they met.Selena didn't even remember they were almost a thing a while ago.They never talked about it again, and then she started to go out with Lucas, so everything got confused.She never had a chance to say anything to him."Hey, stranger. How have you been?" he said lively, leaning against one of the lockers beside hers."Hi, Robbie.
Lucas didn't want to make a scene while Selena was still with him. But he was feeling his fury increase inside his body. Did that guy still dare to follow Selena?The smell wasn't very strong, but he could sense Nick's presence around.He had to be there somewhere.But at the same time, Lucas didn't want to scare Selena, or make her worried.And she didn't give any sign that she had realized that Nick was close.Lucas tried to look around without her noticing, but it was really hard. She was very observant, and if he made a fuss about it, she would sense Nick as well.They arrived at the entrance of her village, and Lucas thought about going inside with her, dropping her at her house's door.To hell if someone saw him and told her who he was. It was true he wanted her to accept his marriage proposal after she was already in love with him, so he could finally reveal who he was. But at that moment, he thought about leaving this plan behind. It wasn't worth to risk Selena's life because
Lucas never hated someone so much like he was hating Nick at that moment.The guy didn't look very scared, although Lucas could feel his body trembling a bit beneath him. "How did you run so fast like that?" Nick was able to ask with his voice a bit shaken. He was clearly doing his best not to show any reaction to Lucas.And then Lucas saw his expression change completely.He wasn't scared or intrigued anymore. His eyes widened in shock and his mouth opened a bit.Lucas didn't move at all. He was still holding the guy down using a lot of strength. "You're him." Nick said with a cocky smile. "The white wolf who attacked me. How did I not figure that out?"Lucas growled at him, with his voice coming deep from his throat, full of anger and fury."What the hell do you want with Selena?" he pressed his arm against Nick's throat so he could feel how much Lucas wanted to kill him. "Shane made you follow her?""You know, it does make a lot more sense now." Nick said ignoring Lucas' questions
Selena's professor wasn't feeling well that day, so he released all students earlier.Maddie had something to do, so she took the opportunity to leave sooner.Selena didn't feel like going home, so she decided to go to the football field to think a bit, maybe read a book or something.Lucas was also having his last class of the day, so she could maybe wait for him.She arrived at the field right at the time a practice was ending. So she climbed up to one of the last rows of the bleacher and grabbed her phone.She sent a text message to Lucas asking him to meet her as soon as his class finished. And then a long time passed.She was alone at the field, just enjoying the warm breeze and looking at birds and clouds at the sky.She was actually feeling great that day and couldn't wait to spend the rest of it with Lucas. She was even thinking about questioning him about the real status of their relationship.Since they never really talked about it, and they were together for a while now, she
Selena blinked a few times to make sure she had listened correctly.She wasn't going to fall for that. She couldn't.Demi was just trying to make her lose control. And Selena wasn't going to give her what she wanted.But it was getting really hard to control herself.She was now feeling a burn sensation on her stomach, like there was a beast inside her trying to get out."I just think you don't want to accept what's right in front of your face. After all, he is with me now, not you." Selena provoked.Demi gave her a smile in return. And Selena wanted to break all those teeth.All Demi had to do was to provoke Selena until the point where she couldn't control herself and attack Demi. As an Alpha, Lucas would never let anyone hurt one of his people, not even Selena.Demi was willing to get herself hurt to win his affection. That would be a worthy sacrifice."Don't flatter yourself, dear. That's the way he is. At the end of the day, it's me who listen to his worries, it's me who comfort h
Selena got on her feet and turned to look at him. She saw herself facing the man she loved. But for the first time, she didn't like what she saw.She had never seen him so angry. He never looked at her with that disappointed face.And she felt like the worst woman in the world at that moment.He was standing a few feet away from her, but was now looking at Demi."What the hell did you do to her?""I…" Selena tried to talk, but stopped as soon as he moved.Lucas started to make his way to them, with firm steps. But instead of stopping next to Selena, he continued to walk until he reached Demi.He squatted down by her side and took her head on his hand, sustaining her weight.Demi had a few scratches on her face and body, and her lips were bleeding. She opened her eyes and saw Lucas holding her."Lucas…" she murmured with a low voice. Selena saw that whole scene with a lump in the throat."Lucas… I didn't mean to do this. I don't know what happened." Selena said at once, trying to defe
Lucas regretted at the moment he left Selena behind.She looked so desolated and when she begged him, he hesitated for a while.He wanted to looked back and comfort her. He wanted to hug her and say he believed in her.But he had a duty as an Alpha, and Demi was hurt.He couldn't turn a blind eye to that.Lucas knew how Demi was, and she always liked to plot and cause intrigues. He wasn't so alienated like he pretended to be.But he couldn't pick Selena's side at that moment. What would everyone from his pack say if they knew he left Demi there, injured?Of course he was mad at Selena for falling into Demi's trap and for losing her cool.He didn't think she would fall for her teasings.And the fact that she didn't say anything about her powers to him was also bothering him.Why couldn't she trust him? Not that he was in a place to complain, since he was also keeping a lot of things from her.Demi talked a lot all the way home, but he didn't listen a single word of what she said.He wa
Bryce was not having a really nice day, since there was an argument between two of his men earlier, that ended up with a fight inside the colony.He had to deal with both of them, and that was one of the things he didn't really like to do as a leader.When the feud was finally solved, he got back to his office to think about other things he had to do.Suddenly someone knocked on the wooden door and he asked them to enter.Darius, his most loyal henchman, opened the door and said with a really serious voice: "That guy Nick is here to see you again. And he's not in a very good shape, I must say." Bryce shrunk his shoulders and asked Darius to bring the guy in.When he put his eyes on Nick, he understood what Darius said.The man had wounds all over his face and arms, and he was walking bent forward, with one of his hands on his stomach.It was not a very nice image indeed.But Nick was a bit uneasy as he entered the office."What happened? Did you see a ghost?" Bryce asked a bit surpri
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
