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.

    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

    Selena didn't go to college for the next few days. She couldn't imagine how she would face Lucas after that argument at the football field.There was also the whole thing with Demi. Selena still didn't get how she could possibly attack Demi with that much strength and without shifting into her wolf form.Something like that had never happened before, and she couldn't feel more frustrated with her powers.She couldn't ask anyone for help, because no one would understand what she was going through.Her best friend was the only constant in her life, as Grandma still hadn't come back from her secret and mysterious mission.Maddie kept sending messages to Selena to know what happened and why she wasn't going to college, but Selena only said she needed a few days off because she was going through a lot at home.It wasn't necessarily a lie, but Maddie didn't need to know the details now. Selena would have time to talk to her later.Then she texted Selena one day, saying that Lucas seemed to b

    "What do you mean by change, Grandma?" Selena got a bit scared with the tone on her grandmother's voice."Listen to me carefully, and don't interrupt me until I finish, ok?" Grandma said, but she already knew that was an impossible promise for Selena to keep.Selena nodded starting to feel anxious."I had to keep this from you your whole life because I didn't think you were prepared to understand it. Also I didn't know if it could have influenced you somehow. But now, I can see that you're an amazing and responsible woman, so I think it's time for you to know.""You're scaring me, Grandma." Selena said a little worried."Don't you wonder why you're the only one you know with powers like yours?""Of course I do! Wait, did you discover something on your mission?""Not exactly. Actually, I think I knew all along why you were special."Selena was very intrigued and confused. She had never seen Grandma so serious and mysterious before."You are a part of an old prophecy.

    Selena got on her feet instantly."What did you just say?" she murmured, still trying to understand if what she heard was correct.Maybe she misunderstood something. It was really hard to understand the whole story.Grandma pulled her back and made her sit again on the bed."Don't make a lot of fuss about it here. Someone can hear you.""How do you expect me to react to this? You can't just drop something like that at me and expect me to be calm." she whispered back angrily.How could she suggest something like that to Selena?"Grandma, he already hates me as it is. Imagine what he'll do if I try to take his place. He'll burn me alive." "He won't do such thing. We have rules, and even though he is not the best leader, he does follow the rules."Selena looked at her confused."What are you talking about?""Most of werewolves' packs have rules about their Alphas. Of course it is something you're born into, but as time passed, some of us realized that some Alphas lead their packs to ruin

  • Under the Full Moon   Chapter 58: Can We Talk?

    Selena decided to go back to college on the next morning. The possibility of being the owner of her own future made her realize that she shouldn't be pitting herself.If Lucas didn't want to believe her and wanted to be with that b*tch Demi, it was his lost.Selena was pretty sure she could find someone nice to be with her. Although she would still need to work on ignoring the strong feelings she always felt when she put her eyes on him.But she wouldn't be moaning and playing the victim. She would make sure he knew what he lost.As soon as she arrived, Maddie came running to greet her."Oh, my God! You finally came." she said giving Selena a tight hug. "I was getting super worried about you. I thought that something really bad had happened to you."Selena smiled at her."Like what?" she joked."Well, I don't know. Now I can imagine anything, since you told me about… You know…" Maddie opened her eyes dramatically, trying to make Selena understand what she was trying to say without any

    Selena knew at the moment the car started to move, where Lucas was taking her.She had only been there once, but she memorized the path anyway.It didn't take long for Lucas to park the car at the top of the hill, at his secret place.They could see the whole city beneath them, but now the view was different, as the sun was still up in the sky.The city looked different somehow, but the place was still incredibly beautiful.Selena was staring ahead, trying to observe how the humans down there lived. A lot of traffic, honks and people walking everywhere, doing their own things.Lucas leaned his elbows on the fence in front of them and looked at the same direction as her.They stayed like that for a while, only feeling each other's presence, without a single word being said.He was afraid to start talking and that it would be the end of them. As soon as she stated it out loud, it was over.At the same time, Selena was really anxious. He didn't say anything the whole way up there, and she

    Lucas looked at her discredited.Not by what she said, but because she was able to reject his kiss.How did she have the strength to do it while every part of his body was in pain? He waited so long to feel her on his arms, and in a blink of an eye, she shoved him."You do like to push me away, right? Geez!" Lucas complained looking away from her.If he continued to look at her, he didn't know if he would be able to control himself again. While he had his back to her, he could listen a really low laugh coming from her direction.But he didn't believe she was laughing until he turned again to look at her.And she had the most beautiful smile on her face.He almost forgot how pissed he was for a moment.Lucas raised his brows at her, intimidating."What's so funny?" "Nothing. Really." she stopped smiling for a bit, pretending to be serious.But that somehow provoked Lucas even more. He knew he had already won a lot just by getting her forgiveness, but he also knew he wasn't the type o

    Selena didn't even care that she wasn't able to keep her plan to play hard to get. Apparently, her will power was weaker when Lucas was around.That kiss was full of different emotions and feelings. What started as a sensitive and gentle kiss, with Selena being very moved with his confession, ended up in a very passionate and urgent kiss.Lucas had his hands under Selena's butt, since he also had to hold her not to fall. Selena was running her fingers through his hair, messing it all up. She could feel that hot feeling growing inside her, as if that kiss wasn't enough.She didn't have much experience in that area, but she wasn't unaware of how things worked, of course. And she wanted that now more than ever.And if Lucas didn't stop, that would probably happen.He interrupted the kiss abruptly, and they both took the chance to grab some air."Again?" Selena complained frustrated. It wasn't the first time he stopped whatever it was going to happen."You have no idea how much I hate mys

    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

  • Under the Full Moon   Chapter 97: Visit of the Moon

    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

  • Under the Full Moon   Chapter 95: The Best Gift

    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

  • Under the Full Moon   Chapter 94: The Wedding Day

    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

  • Under the Full Moon   Chapter 93: Meeting the Colony

    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
