Duncan couldn’t remove the grin on his face, having achieved something none had ever tried before. It was a long shot, but somehow, the discovery elated him.

He looks out the window from his father’s study, closely watching Selene watering the flowers on the other side of the maze garden.

The girl was alone, yet she had this smile on, all the while vigilantly doing her task of tending the plants there.

“You actually did it!”

It was Ben, his beta, jumping in cheer after hearing what he had done.

He gathered his two most trusted aid to tell them about the situation, since they remained wary of their ward. The woman wasn’t just another hapless victim; she was the niece of Penelope Hallow. The so-called moonlight wench.

Also, her sudden recovery after getting attack puzzled many of them. As he too was certain she had died when they brought her to the infirmary.

    Duncan couldn’t hide his rage, his wrinkled in such a fashion, his teeth showed. Blood boiling from having no way to release all his pent-up emotions, it left him with nothing to do but freak out.His only place of solace was now being used by the person who’m he despises. Not only that, he hated the fact he got affected by what he saw.His crotch continued to throb and would not calm down, having that weight and twisting in his privates only added to his frustration.That’s why he didn’t hesitate to summon his two subordinate, wanting to find some sort of way to let out his irritation.“Of all the places, you had to put her there.”He bellows, causing the beta to flinch and lower his heads. While the maid remained bowing the moment she got there.“I’m sorry, young alpha. It was the only area where there was a working lavatory.”Julieta stayed stoic, unaffected by his master’s bantering. Not bothered by the intense murderous gaze being thrown their way.“Have you even considered the c

    Selene took one last look at the cell she’d been staying in, making sure she had everything back to its original state.From removing the covers, she placed over the pile of logs, curtains, and make-shift vases. She removed all of it, including the pieces of flowers. Though she had cleaned up most of the place, she’s positive it wouldn’t be an issue, considering she didn’t touch the other rooms since they remained locked.With nothing else to do, she hastens upstairs, carrying the remaining stuff she had brought there. The head maid greeted her the moment she emerged from the depths of the lower floors.“Are you certain that’s the last of it?”Julieta raised a brow, seeing the lump of tattered fabric sewn together.“Yes, mistress. I’ve done everything you’ve told me to do.”Selene gave a curtsy, copying the other maids’ action whenever they answered the woman. She was becoming accustomed to it after observing quietly for the past few days.“And those are the remaining curtains, corre

    Selene couldn’t keep her eyes straight while walking through the halls of their campus. Her entire situation only became much worse. Instead of only getting ignored and given condescending glances, she now received murderous gazes and whispers from the students passing by.If it weren’t for Lucas’s group hovering by her side, she wouldn’t have had the strength to walk into that place at all.She didn’t really have any plans of going back to school after finding about her aunt’s debt, since she did not think they’d allow her. But when she told the head maid about it, the woman had no problems with it whatsoever.Now, once again mingling with the masses, it gave her the chance to ponder and consider things. What was the reason she got into that situation in the first place? From what she can recall, she was supposed to go home after work and then parts of her memory became blurry, and then she turns up in that room, naked and all.

She nearly loses her balance, if not for the trees nearby, which she immediately grabs hold of.Shocked and daze from the surprise, she touches the part that got hit, feeling the sticky, gelatinous liquid flowing through her hair.Her face wrinkles, catching a waft of the rancid stench upon sniffing her palm.

Its entire figure still resembled that of a human.Even within the darkness of the night, the memories crash into her mind thanks to the silhouette appearing before her. It made it easy to make out the being in front of her.All those missing pieces of memory she worried about came piling up one by one.The pain of being bitten, torn, and dragged into the forest. Blood gurgling from the trying to breathe, and the lonely touch of death seeping right through her every being.

He could not calm himself, sensing that there was something wrong.“We caught the culprit, and she was no alpha. She was a freaking omega. Which means she couldn’t turn her. So how does that explain her healing herself?”He continued biting his nails, heart racing from all the emotions rushing through him.Now that they captured the reason for the problems they were facing, he could not stop thinking about how to deal with it.He was certain the evidence they had was strong enough, but he also became sure it would not matter, especially since they were up against a rival that equaled their influence and power.It irked him so much that a recently risen pack manage to gain such strength i

    True to his words, the current alpha sent several guards to Duncan’s estate the next morning, when the young-man didn’t comply with his orders.The tension in the room was heavy, it was enough to create this breath-taking unease. Ben and Julieta kept pacing back and forth, peeking through the curtains to check on their surroundings on every side of the house.Duncan, on the other hand, remained standing in front of the large window facing the front of his mansion. He stood there like a guard, menacingly observing on the things happening outdoors.“Your father wasn’t kidding, alpha. There’s about a dozen pack outside.”Ben was gasping for air when he returned to his side.Duncan grit his teeth. His father was onto him, he was sure of that.Before, he wouldn’t have bothered with him. His old man’s reasoning last t

    Selene continued to mutter to herself, telling her own subconscious that her decision was right. But in truth, it was solely because of her own desires, wanting to remain with the young-man.A part of her longed to stay close the Duncan, afraid to separate from him. Though she could not explain the reason for it, she still went through with choosing him.In all senses, Lucas was the better choice, considering he’d been kind and protective of her. But for once, she wanted to follow herself, no matter how unreasonable it was, to the point it defied her own logic.Though she didn’t want to argue with herself, right now, she felt so small and uncertain, while walking behind Duncan and his father. She kept her head low, not knowing what else to do as he absorbed every detail of their heating exchange.“What the hell were you thinking?”Alpha James gritted his teeth to stop his voice from getting louder. Yet, his rage can be felt through each word even beneath his steady composure.They wer

    Selene breath a sigh of relief, relaxing as he looked up at Lucas who not stood in front of her, defending her from the contemptuous gaze of the elders. His shadow covered her like a protective blanket, giving her assurance.The young alpha growled at those around him, silencing the congregation and making them look away.“I think we’ve scared her enough. It’s obvious she doesn’t know anything, so I think it’s better if we leave her alone.”Lucas’ tone was direct, low, and serious.The elders turned to one another, giving each other meaningful glances, before nodding in agreement, like the exchange was how they talked.“Still, we can’t make the same mistake as before.”The female elder muttered, heaving a deep sigh as she looks at them.“I suggest we put the girl back under one of the main pack’s supervision.”The elder with a long beard continued, a smirk forming underneath those long, silvery white facial hair.“Agreed.”The one sitting in the middle seconded the notion, causing ano

She felt so small and vulnerable, surrounded by a group that gave her sharp and condescending gaze.The only solace she had was the two familiar faces standing in front of her. Lucas had this warm and confident smile, while Duncan gave her a straight but assuring look.Both young-men stood at a low stage, where several of the elders were, along with three individuals who exhibited an immense presence of confidence and authority through the entire room, overshadowing the others.“So this is the girl. Where’s her aunt? Why isn’t she with us?”Finally, one of the elders spoke, throwing a frown at Selene’s way while brushing the tip of his beard

    Julieta was at Duncan’s face the minute he emerged from the bushes, hardly noticing his appearance or the person on his shoulders.“Alpha, where have you been?”Julieta’s voice came out louder, but she did not care, since right now there was only one thing that she wanted to do.Yet Duncan was unfazed, only walking passed the head-maid, straight for the mansion.“I came here as fast as I can.”He muttered once they were inside, as the female remained right behind him.Only then did Julieta notice the person he was carrying on his shoulder, as the girl couldn’t stop wriggling from his hold.“What’s she doing here?”Julieta’s already twisted face became more wrinkled, along with becoming beet red at the sight of Selene’s flush cheeks.“Not now, Julieta.”Duncan waved her off before putting Selene down. He then pointed her to the stairs going to the lower floor to her room.Flabbergasted and filled with shame, the woman didn’t argue and just scurried away with her head down, embracing he

Even his first could not compare to what he had.The memory of last night brought a grin to his face, recollecting the number of times he ravage her. Just thinking about it made him hard again, but then he remembered how many times Selene fainted during the entire course of their intimacy.It seems the woman still couldn’t handle him, since she was only a changeling. But then, the ide

    Selene hadn’t the time to comprehend what was happening. All she could do was follow instructions, packing a suitcase, and taking down notes and reminders.Only when they were at the bus station, she finally found the courage to speak out what was on her mind.“Why can’t I come with you, aunt Pen?”She swallowed hard, having that tightening in her chest.Memories of similar incidents in the past flooded her thoughts, bringing about panic and fear inside of her.Penelope, being in a hurry, hardly notice the terror in Selene’s expression. She gave out a weak smile before brushing her niece’s cheek.“You’ll be safer here.”Her tone was low and gentle, almost like a lullaby.Yet this only brought forth several faint flashes in Selene, with the exact words echoing through her head. Her eyes felt hot, her breathing erratic as the surge of emotions swelled inside her from once again being left.“But why do you have to leave?”Her voice trembled, her hands turning cold, as the thought of bein
