Wicked lover Chapter 17 Another transfer
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
Wicked lover Chapter 18 Cognizance
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. Then came the sudden revelation of her aunt’s obliga

After waving goodbye to Lucas’s group, Selene hurries to the cafeteria. Being in a different house, she didn’t have the luxury to pack her lunch. So she’s left with buying food. Thankfully, her aunt gave her some money during her last visit.As she was making her way through the field between the main building and the canteen, she gets stopped by a sudden strike on her head. 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. Most of the shells became stuck. She tries to wipe herself clean, but most of the goo had gotten to her shirt, causing the smell to spread all over.With trees nearby, she search for any nest where it may have come from. Afraid some poor bird had lost its home and babies.But then, seeing a few laughing girl
Wicked lover Chapter 20 The vision and danger
Not wanting to go return to class, Selene left early, but instead of going back to her place of work, she went straight to her aunt’s house, needing someone to talk to.All the weight she carried from the conflicting emotions in her was making her distraught. Unable to focus because of all the confusion. Adding to all his frustrations were all the unanswered questions she had, which continued to bother her since she got to school.Eager to release some of those burdens, there was only one person she could talk to about it who came to her mind, the only individual who would understand her problem.Once again, seeing those picket fences and flower filled garden brought about this warmth and calmness in her, lightening the load she’d been carrying since this morning.“Aunt Pen?”She couldn’t help herself, having this sense of need to call unto the woman.Though it had only been a few days when they had gotten separated, yet the homesickness truly got to her.As Selene was opening the gat
Wicked lover Chapter 21 Revelations and answers
Is it an animal? No, it cannot be, though it moves on all fours, had fur all over its body, along with those fangs and glowing red eyes. 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. All of this returned to her in an instant, filling her with an extreme dread.Terror crawled into her, like vines creeping throughout her body, causing her to lose all sense from her arms down to her legs.She could no longer tell past from present, experiencing everything all at once. Shock and fear had now taken over her, numbing her entirety, because of all the recollection of p
Wicked lover Chapter 22 And so it begins
After his brief outburst, Duncan and his two trusted subordinates let the maids handle Selene and the mess he made while they went back to the main mansion, straight to his father’s office.Anger remained swelling up inside of him, all the while glaring into the other house just beyond the hedge maze. 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
Wicked lover Chapter 23 Admitting the reason
Selene couldn’t stop her sobbing, no matter how she tried. Because of what happened, all the terrible memories she had been keeping inside burst forth, flashing before her eyes.All those walls she’d put around her heart to protect herself turned into dust, crumbling into nothingness in an instant.Dark silhouettes of people surrounding her, all of them with those frowning angry faces, shouting, screaming, and throwing insults at her.‘Get away from us!’‘You’re nothing but bad luck.’‘Don’t ever show your face here again!’‘Are you crazy?’These were but a few of those words repeatedly ringing inside her head, things she had thought she had forgotten, buried deep within the confines of her subconscious.But it brought all of those repressed memories, along with the sudden and confusing attack from Duncan.Old doubts and self loathing emerge again, bringing forth all the hatred she’d been harboring.She curled into a fetal position, hugging her knees in sheer panic, wanting to have th
Wicked lover Chapter 24 Prelude to the night
After what happened, they gave her an entire week off, allowing her to leave and do whatever she wanted in order so that she could cool off and relax. They even provided her an allowance for the whole time she’d be gone.It seems they had forgotten she had no other place to go, leaving her with no choice but to return to her aunt’s home. She didn’t want to waste her money to stay in some hostel, somewhere.It would have been all good, if not for that one reminder the head maid told her, which she couldn’t get out of her mind.‘Don’t come back until we call you.’These words repeatedly whispered through her thoughts, lingering within the depths of her subconscious, curious and baffled by the reason the woman would say this. But in the end, she did not have the courage to ask.Before leaving, she tried searching for Duncan because of the voice at the back of her head, telling her to at least say goodbye and inform him of her whereabouts. But only Julieta faced her, telling her she did n

Wicked lover Chapter 52 Side effects
The stillness of the house and the silence that came with it only made Duncan’s mind go into a frenzy. His body aching, itching, and twitching from the turmoil within him. A part of him still resisted, thanks to the last words of his beta Ben, but this was not enough to stop the unrest inside of him.His hands, inkling to touch, his lips, craving for affection, his skin, needing warmth from another, and his manhood ached to be caressed, licked, and dipped into a female’s slippery crevice.His head was basically floating at the time. As he walked down the stairs, memories of those carnal feelings rushed through him.Duncan was panting from all the images flashing through his mind, along with echoes of familiar moans, whimpers, and screams of ecstasy.He was losing balance from the feverish heat consuming him, his vision blurred, and his face covered with streams of sweat. And all of this w
Wicked lover Chapter 51 Falling and failing
Though they were already at the mansion, Duncan’s rage would not subside. The itching of his teeth and claw remained, needing to dig into flesh, particularly Lucas’.If it wasn’t for Ben, he would have gone full on feral on the other alpha, having that raging need to kill. It was only when his beta intervened and received the brunt of his anger did he finally returned to his senses.“Sorry about that, Ben.”He murmured, his eyes traversing the large gash stemming from his beta’s right shoulder, going all the way down to his left hip. The slash was deep, fresh, and bleeding, unable to heal because he was the one who made it. Even underneath the bandage covering it, the trail and size of the wound were visible.“It’s alright alpha. The doctor said I should be okay in a week or so.”Ben wince with each word, yet he still forced a smile.“I don’t know what came over me. I… I just lost control.”Duncan palmed his face, wiping the sweat that covered it. He couldn’t understand why he went all
Wicked lover Chapter 50 Advantage or drawback
Weeks have passed since the incident, yet the memory of the clash between Duncan and Lucas’ group. The sight of blood, gash, and claws swiping sent chills up Selene’s spine. It reminded her of a premonition she had long ago.“You still shaken up after what happened?”Lucas gave her a gentle nudge, noticing how she was spacing out while trembling in that warm breeze.They were currently walking through the woods, with Lucas and Selene being in front, while the others stayed a few feet away from them.Selene forced a smile, trying to hide her concern.“I didn’t think Duncan would do that.”She swallowed hard, remembering the blood thirst in the young man’s eyes. Throughout her stay with them, she’d seen him angry, but never like that, which made her wonder what could have been the cause of it.Though there was certainly fear in her, it kept getting overpowered by a lingering sense of worry and longing. She couldn’t understand why’d she feel that way, especially since she knew they didn’
Wicked lover Chapter 49 Triggered
“Alpha, can we take a rest? We’ve been running around the entire town for days now.”Ben grumbled. His phasing slowed, no longer having the energy or strength to keep up with Duncan.The young beta was a few meters behind, but didn’t bother to speed up, as he was losing air, nearly reaching his limit.“Don’t ask, just keep going.”Dunca says, increasing his strides as they continued on. He was scared he’d get consumed by the turmoil inside of him the moment he stops.“I don’t understand how we’re going to find the culprit by doing this?”Ben, no longer wanting to continue, was now thinking of ways to escape.“Just stop whining and keep up.”Duncan grumbled.It’s true they weren’t going to catch anyone with what they were doing, but he didn’t care. Because his real reason for aimlessly moving is because he wanted to remove the heat, adrenaline, and tension he had inside.He thought he’d be okay if he tire himself out, as he had done it before, but this was not the case now, as each tim
Wicked lover Chapter 48 Wake up call
There was this odd sense in Selene’s chest all throughout the day, making her nervous. Though she couldn’t grasp what it was exactly that was causing it.Deep in thought, while walking through their school’s corridor, she hardly took notice of the shouts behind her, until she felt a strong arm holding on to her shoulders.That brought her back to her senses, immediately making her eyes widened from the unsuspecting touch.“Lucas.”She blurted out, surprised to see the fellow with his group following close.“Hey, Selene, is everything okay with you?”Lucas’s brows furrowed, though he had a smile on his face. Worry can be seen etched all over it.Selene avoided his gaze, tucking a piece of hair to her ear while she bit her lip from embarrassment. It’s been so long since the last time she’d space out, she found it awkward.“Yes, I just feel weird somehow.”She swallowed hard, still having that odd dread crawling into her.This made Luca’s expression straighten, as he grabbed hold of Sele
Wicked lover Chapter 47 Devious
“Idiots! I leave for a few days and this is what I return to.”Alpha James roared, the sound of his fist slamming on the table echoing throughout the entire hall.But Duncan kept his straight face, holding on to the emotions that were trying to escape him. There was anger, fear, and anxiety all brewing inside of him at that moment. Yet, he remained steadfast to hide all of it from his father.Alpha James Vondeer’s expression twisted so much he looked like he was shifting into his werewolf form. The sound of his fist slamming on the table echoed through the halls, causing all the others who were present to tremble in fear.“We don’t know what happened, alpha.”One of the beta muttered, noticing how their leader’s face continued to turn red from the silence.“Fools!”A deafening howl came out from alpha James, making a lot of them flinch. Yet Duncan remained stoic, unfazed by all the commotion. That was why the elder’s brows twitch upon seeing his emotionless expression.“And you! What
Wicked lover Chapter 46 More secrets
Selene’s feet move on its own. In a trance, she followed those inaudible voices down that damp, dark staircase.Though her eyes couldn’t see anything, her mind distinguished the surroundings, like a third sight, allowing her to walk without a problem.A faint purple light glowed at the end of the stairs, giving this odd creeping sensation onto her skin. She got goosebumps with each step she draws closer.It’s as if she was stuck in a dream, screaming for help, aware but unable to do anything. Tears and sweat streamed down her face as terror crawled at her.No matter what she did, she couldn’t fight off the pull of those whispers, so helpless that she couldn’t even let out a word.As she got closer to the end of the steps, the voices became clearer, louder, and the light throb, letting out an eerie vibrating sound.When she finally reached the bottom, her fears and worries were replaced by curiosity and confusion, seeing the large empty room. The only thing odd there is the weird carvi
Wicked lover Chapter 45 A sign and a trail
Selene was woken by the head maid and, after being given her clothes, was immediately escorted out of the hut, straight to the woman’s car. Like before, she obediently followed, but her eyes wandered, searching for Duncan the minute they got out.A pang of sadness sunk into her chest when the man was nowhere to be found. There was this odd sense of loneliness and yearning in her, wanting to at least catch a glimpse of the young alpha.A part of her wanted to comfort him. After hearing about his woes and anger, she began to understand the reason behind the alpha’s demeanor.Of course, she couldn’t voice this out with the fear of being questioned by the head maid. So though it pained her, she remained silent, reminding herself she had no place or right to ask.The remaining drive back to Silent Ridge peak was eerily quiet, with Selene keeping her head low, unable to say anything, while Julieta stayed with a poker face the entire time, her anger visible underneath her composed and stoned
Wicked lover Chapter 44 Resolve and reasons
Julieta arrives only minutes after her alpha’s summons. That was why she was in deep surprise at the sight of his master.The young alpha sat outside the hut, embracing himself, all the while mumbling something. His gaze, though sharp, had this glint of uncertainty and worry.Julieta’s frown deepened, noticing this. It was so unlike the youngster to be so pre-occupied to the point he didn’t see her parking nearby. Curious, she gets out of the car without saying a word, hurrying towards the young man.It was only when Duncan sensed the head maid that his expression immediately changed, returning to that emotionless and domineering look.“What took you so long?”He grumbled, throwing sharp glances at the woman.Julieta was keen to bow to show her respect and submission.“Apologies, alpha, I got tangled up with an earlier task.”She states, reminding the youngster of his previous command to her.Duncan let out a deep and disgruntled sigh, lips pursing to keep his annoyance at bay. He cou
