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

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

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

    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.

    Penelope’s smile reached to her ear, radiating such a joyous shine it could blind. Of course, she remained unaware of it, even though she was looking at herself in front of the large, oval mirror. She stops brushing her hair, hearing the doorknob rattling. She immediately turns her gaze towards the door when she heard it creak open. An old woman peaked from the entrance, her creasing forehead became more prominent, noticing Pen’s expression. Though walking shakily, she kept her dominant composure even if she was hunching and her steps slow. Penelope straighten, shifting her body to turn to her, along with putting on a straight face. She flinches from the sudden thud of the woman’s cane on the floor, swallowing hard when her heart beat nearly stops from the sound getting closer. “It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep?” The elder’s eyes squinted while scouring parts of her room. “I’m still drying my hair, grandma.” Pen put on her sweetest smile before returning her sights to the mi

    Duncan sat on the bed with a wrinkled face, groaning in annoyance because of the sunlight coming from the gap between the curtains that woke him up.He’d lost track of time, being so drowned in that carnality that he shared with Selene, he didn’t think he could experience such satisfaction in his life. 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.

As her skin tingled from the warmth they shared, even though they were still meters apart, his heartbeat and breathing sounded like drums to her

    Duncan sprawled on the ground, heaving and groaning. His enormous frame barely moving from its place, with a hand clasping to the grass to pull himself closer to the picket fence.Selene felt her blood rush out of her face, along with unease and fear. She rushed towards the guy without a second thought, hurriedly opening the gate to get to him.“Oh my gosh, what happened to you?”

    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

    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

    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

    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’

    “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

    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
