Lucas untied Selena's hands and feet and grabbed her on his arms.The girl was unconscious, and he could barely see a part of her skin without blood or bruises.He could only think that she was lucky to be alive. Shane had beaten her up until he broke a lot of bones and almost disfigured her face.She did have the power to recover quick as a werewolf, but that wasn't going to be an easy recovery.He took the stairs and met the others from his pack outside.Some of them had captured a few people from Shane's pack and tied them up.When they saw Selena's body on his arms, they opened their eyes in shock."Is she dead?" one of them asked.Lucas shook his head in denial."He wouldn't kill her now." Lucas said, swallowing the rage he was feeling."What should we do with them?" Eliza, the woman that was by his side at the beginning asked, shaking a man from Shane's pack tied in front of her.The guy was in a pretty bad shape."Take them to that shack at our village. I'll deal with them later
"How could you possibly know that?" Selena said while she struggled to sit on the bed.She was getting annoyed to have that conversation in a vulnerable and lame position like that."Well, that's a really long story, but since you don't have anything else to do, I think we can go through that now."Lucas laid back on the chair beside the bed and crossed his arms, looking at the ceiling thoughtful."Do you remember the time you were ambushed by some of Shane's wolves?"Selena widened her eyes, shocked."How did you…?""I was the white wolf that saved you that night." Lucas simply said, like that was the most ordinary thing he could say.Selena couldn't even find the words to express how shocked and confused she was.She tried to remember exactly what happened that night."Wait… But you also had some unusual strength and speed." she said more for herself than for him.Nothing made sense.Lucas was smiling at her with a very enigmatic expression on his face."I also have powers like you.
Selena woke up feeling sore and with a terrible headache. She opened her eyes and saw herself on that comfortable and huge bed.She sat rubbing her eyes and looked forward, and the view was breathless. She could see the sea in front of her through the porch's door, and it was even more beautiful at daylight. She wasn't able to see clearly last night."Wow!" she murmured."It's beautiful, isn't it?" the sexy and low voice she loved so much came from the bathroom's door, and when she turned to look, she couldn't say which view was prettier.Lucas was coming out of the shower, wearing only shorts and a towel around his neck.His hair was messy as always, but wet, which made Selena swallow hard.He grabbed the towel and rubbed his hair, drying it a little more, leaving it even more messy than before."How are you feeling?" he asked coming towards her.His body proportions were insane, Selena thought. How could someone be so handsome like that? That should be considered a crime.His sexy b
Selena could not believe that was actually going to happen.They were at the perfect place, and although she wasn't at her best shape yet, she couldn't want it more than she wanted at that moment.She had waited for so long already, and the nearly death experience with Shane made her want to enjoy every second of her life with Lucas.Lucas was making her feel things she had never felt before. As he kissed her collarbone and ran his hand all over her body, she could feel her desire growing inside of her.Her lower belly was on fire, and she could feel her body compelled to him, like they were meant to become one.Lucas walked blindly to the bed, with Selena wrapped around him.He tossed her on the bed and took his shirt off. Selena couldn't blink as she stared at his abs.She sat on the bed and started to caress his chest and abs. Lucas grabbed her hair and pulled her up, so she could stay at the same level as him."This is your last chance to say if you don't want me to continue." he s
Selena spent the whole night making love and talking about the most simple things with Lucas.At some time, in the middle of the night, they were simply staring at the ceiling of the room talking about what they were going to do about Shane and Bryce.When the subject came up, Selena felt the need to share with Lucas everything her Grandma said. Since he was the son of the moon, according to the prophecy that Grandma told her, he was going to help them. So he would have to know about the plan at some point."Grandma is planning on dethroning my father as the Alpha of our pack and putting me as his substitute." Lucas looked at her amazed."That will be awesome. I already said you'll be a hell of a good leader. Your Grandma is a very wise woman."He smiled and got back to stare the ceiling."I know you did, but I'm not ready for that. I mean, what do I know about being an Alpha?"Lucas shrunk his shoulder, looking at her again."You'll learn with time. I know I did. And I'll be here to
A few days passed with a lot of hard training. Selena wanted to know how to control her powers completely without facing any unforeseen events when she found herself in a dangerous situation again.Lucas taught her how to control her abilities when it came out, so she wouldn't attack anyone again without intention."Now you understand why I said I didn't know what happened with Demi the other day, right? I didn't even know it was possible to use powers in my human form."Lucas nodded."I know. Actually, I think I actually knew at the time as well, but I wanted you to tell me. I didn't want you to feel pressured to tell me anything about your life, unless you felt like it."Selena smiled at him gratefully. She could definitely understand what he meant."So close your eyes again. You need to feel where the force inside of you is coming from." he got back to the training. "This energy you feel is what makes you powerful. You need to be able to lead it to the part of your body you're going
Lucas and Selena headed back to his village on the next morning. Selena called Grandma and asked her to meet with them at his house, since it would be risky to meet at Selena's village.The situation with Bryce hadn't been solved yet and raise suspicions wouldn't help them.Selena arrived at Lucas' house, and while he went out to keep track of everything that had happened while he was away, Selena prepared some tea for when her grandmother arrived.A while later, she heard a knock on the door. When she opened it, she felt a warm wave of safety coming towards her.Grandma gave her a strong hug, and Selena felt at home. She didn't realize how much she was missing her while she was gone."I'm so glad to see you well. You look even stronger than before you left."Selena closed the door behind them, leading Grandma to the couch so they could chat comfortably."Thanks, Grandma. I feel great. During this time, I was able to train and control my powers. Lucas helped me a lot."Cora nodded ha
Lucas sat beside Selena, grabbing her hand and stroking it with love.Selena felt a little awkward with that public display of affection in front of her grandmother, but pretended Grandma didn't have a mischievous smile on her face."Well, did you discover anything?" she asked Lucas, ignoring Grandma's presence. Lucas leaned against the couch and stared at the two women."Yes, I did. Apparently, one of the guys we took as hostages from Shane's pack had spoken. He didn't seem very eager to follow Shane's orders anymore, so it wasn't that hard to take some information from him.""So, what did he say?" Selena asked again, impatiently."He said Shane have a lot of followers, but not as much as we thought he had. Which is a bonus for us." Cora and Selena nodded, so he continued."He didn't tell me when Shane was planning to act or where they could be right now, but he said Shane is planning to attack the humans. My people is still working on getting more information about that from him."
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
