Aunt Pen turned quiet the rest of the day, ending Selene’s probing.

There was no mention of it at all, as every time the subject was brought up, Penelope Hallow would outright disregard and change the topic in an instant.

It became clear the woman didn’t want to talk about it. But what Selene can’t understand was how much one simple name could rattle her aunt like that.

Especially since she hasn’t even mentioned what exactly it was she’d seen in her visions.

This only spark an uncontrolled curiosity towards her, sensing the incident she saw had something to do with what was going on in there.

Yet she cannot bring herself to ask it straight up, still understanding so little just from that premonition she received.

This left her pondering once more, not knowing how to interpret or explain all those things that plagued her mind.

So right now, all she could do was stare at her aunt Pen, while she scrub, bakes, and chatter tirelessly all at the same time, without even bothering to face h

    In a race against the setting sun, Selene ran as fast as she can the moment she stepped out of the bus. She was gasping when she finally arrived at the Vondeer’s manor, sweating like crazy, as she stopped to catch her breath. After taking a stone path, she pauses near a clearing. She scanned the surroundings, checking if there were any guards lurking around. Thankfully, there wasn’t any at that time, same as when she left. She quickly moves to the nearby bushes to hide before fishing out the piece of paper from her pockets. It was the one Lucas gave her. She traced a finger on the map to let her eyes scan it faster. “All right, I can do this.” She says after taking in a deep breath. Though she didn’t understand the purpose and reason for the stuff written there, she did not dare question it, since she did not know anything about the paranormal stuffs she was dealing with. All she could do was trust Lucas’ words regarding her aunt’s the medicine. From there, she headed to her left

    Discipline, concentration, and vigilance, these were the things Duncan followed for the past few years, not wanting to make the same mistake again. After his blunder, he had vowed never to end up in the same situation as before.And so, right now, he remains secluded in the depths of the old mansion. Locked up underneath the deepest part of it, a place he considered his sanctuary, safe from any kind of uncontrolled urges the time of the year brings.Of course, this was not enough, as he needed to calm himself, as the season brought extreme pain to those who tried to fight off their impulses and were unmated.That was why he continued throwing punches, clawing, and kicking the piece of tree trunk in front of him, pouring every ounce of strength he and energy he had in him. He wanted to exhaust himself completely in order to subdue those wild and carnal cravings.He survived the last few years, even though it was sheer torture. He was certain he’d do it again, or so he thought until hi

    Weakened, gasping for air, and nearly unconscious, Selene continued to force herself to move, aware she needed to do something or at least explain herself. Thoughts plagued her when she had trouble moving.She didn’t expect her legs to suddenly lose it strength, after catching a waft of that strong wooden and chocolaty aroma. But what confused her was the sudden jolt inside her after taking in that decadent scent.‘Did she get poisoned? Did she trigger a trap of some kind?’These were just a few of the things running through her mind moments after falling on the ground, especially since this all happened when she inhaled more of the alluring aroma within the room.It was also the closest explanation she could think of, after her body had suddenly become riddled with an unknown tingling sensation, accompanied by an intense fiery heat that emerge from deep inside of her.The only thing confusing her was the fact she was having an immense sense of pleasure and need rushing through every

    Daze and light-headed. It took a few minutes before Selene’s senses returned. When she came to, everything was silent. Though tired and weak, she forced herself to look around, hoping to make out what had happened.She realized she was now all alone in that dimly lit room, after not seeing any trace of Duncan anywhere.‘Was it all just a dream?’ she thought, but then the icy touch of the room’s cold air creep all over her. It brought a sudden ache all over her body, reminding her of all those odd movements she’d done a while ago while being at the mercy of the young alpha.Thinking about it only sent another wave of those delectable bolts all over her, making her whimper in need and craving.Again, the voices inside her head emerge, searching for Duncan’s warm and sensual touch, aching to for those salacious fingers between her legs, and wanting to have the heat of his tongue on her skin.

    Teeth grinding, Duncan continued mumbling and cursing underneath his breath, all the while looking out the window.Thankfully, he escaped his predicament out of sheer luck.He couldn’t believe he’d lose himself like that. Still unable to comprehend how a mere human can cause him to react that way.Puzzled, he closed his eyes, recollecting all the things that have happened, searching for any clue that could give him an explanation.It all started when Duncan’s territorial instincts kicked in. Hearing some footsteps along with the smell of another male sent Duncan into a wild and daze frenzy, ready to kill for being bothered like that.Without a thought, he rushes through the hallway, accidentally clawing into a barrel. The liquid in it spilled on him, and that brought about a flash of reason into him, yet his rage stayed because of being disturbed while in the middle of a mating.He continued charging, increasing his speed with each second as he shifted into his beast form, ready to ri

    After the case in their estate, Duncan got thrust into another meeting because his father needed to focus and take care of all the issues in their own territory.As the only son and heir to the shadow bane pack, he couldn’t say no to the summons, especially since it came from one of their close allies.Now left with making certain there was no evidence of his recent encounter, as it would strike an enormous blow to his image and persona.“Are you sure?”He asks with a deep frown, raising his hand to the beta in front of him to let him smell his arm.They were still in his room, only having finished his bath, and were now choosing what clothes to wear.Though confused, Ben Lenox again took another good whiff on his alpha’s skin, his nose twitching and creasing every time he’d get struck by his leader’s powerful musculine odor.“Yes, alpha. The only trace I get from you is the smell from the cellar.”No matter how many times the beta check, he could not find anything that might be worth

    Leaves rustled, dancing on the call of the blowing wind. Besides that, everything remained eerily quiet. Though Selene couldn’t truly be certain, noticing several shadows moving behind some trees.For the past hours, she kept looking out the window whenever she had the chance. She understood the consequences of her recent actions, but she regretted nothing, seeing as her aunt seemed to have returned to her lively and energetic self.The woman was currently in the kitchen, while she stayed at the house’s foyer, pretending to sweep the floor, though it was spotless.A day already pass but there have been no signs of people coming to their place, making her more anxious.Only when she hears the loud clanking sounds did she snap out of it, nearly causing her to jump in a hurry to the next room to see what happened.“Aunt Pen, are you all right?”Panic covered her, seeing the woman on her knees, shaking and gasping on the floor while hugging herself. Her eyes were bawled out, as if in shoc

    Four hours passed, but they remained driving on that long winding road with nothing but trees, mountains, and grasslands from afar.“Where are we going, miss Julieta? I thought we’d be returning to the mansion?”After contemplating her predicament, Selene finally garnered the strength to say her concerns out loud. Especially after they passed by a large sign showing that they were entering the town of ‘Moon Peak’.“Hush girl. You are in no position to speak.”Julieta quickly throws a sharp gaze her way.It felt so intense it made her shiver in her seat, making her lower her head in shame and fear.“Sorry, miss.”Selene returned her attention to looking out the side-mirror. The black sports car which followed them. Somehow, seeing the vehicle put her at ease. Yet she still can’t shake off that odd sensation she’d been getting from it.Her mind was so focused on trying to see who was in it, she hardly noticed them stopping until she hears the door opening on the driver’s side.“Where he

    After finishing cleaning the attic, Selene took the chance to take a few minutes of rest, since she’d done all the chores given to him by the head-maid.Because of the recent conflict, there were now only three of them there taking care of the house. The head-maid, Ben, and her. She didn’t think that most of the maids working there were under Duncan’s father.She took a deep sigh, looking out into the circular window into the horizon, remembering the incident. Part of her felt sad for the young-alpha, but another side of was envying him.Selene was still staring outside, mop in her hand, while deep in thought when Duncan came in. This got the young-alpha’s face twisting in irritation.“Do you always need to intrude on my personal space?”Duncan roared, letting his rage take over.The walls shook as his voice echoed through the entire room.Caught by surprised, Selene jump in panic, causing her to tumble. Her mop hit the bucket on her feet, spilling the murky water in it, making her sl

    Duncan’s rage continued to rage growing inside of him, unable to calm his nerves from the scene a moment ago. Though he now sat on the table, being served by Selene, his face remained straight, eyes sharp, while staring upfront.“Everything good with you, alpha?”Ben’s face twitch with worry, an inexplainable fear creeping into him because of the young-alpha’s murderous expression.‘Was it because of the upcoming fight? Or perhaps it was because they didn’t call him to eat?’ These were the thoughts playing in Ben’s mind. Unable to understand the cause of his alpha’s mood.“Yeah, just swell.”Duncan snorts; it was clear his words was lace with sarcasm.In truth, he had this uncontrollable itch to snap Ben’s neck. He wanted to rip him apart, piece b

    Selene sat on the bed, her thoughts lingering on her head on things. With how things were going with her life, she didn’t know where to turn to or what to do next.Her aunt was missing; their house had those odd shadow figures lingering in them, and she was miles away from civilization.She felt so helpless, not knowing how long she’ll be allowed to stay in the pack this time. Her uncertainty stemmed from the fact that everyone there seems to have a problem with her, along with how Duncan reacted to her a while ago.The young-man’s demeanor confused her, shifting from good to bad in a second without a notice. It made her think if her situation would be the same if she went with Lucas instead.She stops pondering when she hears footsteps from the stairs; she rushed to greet whoever was going down to the cellar.“Hey Ben.”She waves the moment she saw the guy. He was wobbling, careful not to fall from the ladder as his legs were unbalanced.“Oh, Selene. I thought you were with the alpha

    James Vondeers grumbled in his chair, his expression darkening with each passing moment. His gaze kept shifting from the clock then to the empty seat beside him.The alpha’s silence created this heavy tension in the room, as the others who were seated at the long table barely made any noise, avoiding even the slightest clink of their utensil.“I hope everything is to your liking, James?”Connor Sage, alpha of the Blue snow pack, was the one who gained the courage to break the silence through the room. He gave a sympathetic smile at the other alpha on the other side of the table, as it had been an hour, but he remained alone, barely touching the food they’d prepared.Duncan was nowhere to be found; even his beta, George, was absent on that occasion, though the alpha promised they’d arrive momentarily.This brought murmurs among the others gathered there, as they tried to make conversations to remove the awkwardness.“Alpha James, are you certain Duncan will be joining us today?”Valent

    Beta George struggled with each step he made, yet he persevered, continuing to move in painful strides. He needed to inform his alpha about this recent discovery, knowing full well it will affect the future of their pack.He was panting from the wound the young-alpha gave him, his blood gushing out, leaving a trail because it would not heal.A rustling from the nearby bushes made him stop; the waft of a familiar scent forced him to change his stance, crouching in preparation for a fight.“Come out, I know you’re there!”George shouts, gritting his teeth. It’s been years since someone manage to get past his detection.Though wounded, his senses remained as before, which meant the person who followed him was no doubt skilled. And from that, he already knew who it was, since there were only a few who’d managed to elude him.From the shadows, a tall, slender figure emerge, walking in such a graceful fashion and fluidity, it was like the person was gliding through the air.“You seem to be

    Thankfully, Julieta and Ben were there to assist Duncan, as midway up the stairs, he lost any remaining strength he had, almost collapsing when his legs gave in.The two carefully help the young-alpha into his bed, while Selene followed in silence, afraid she might get in the way.“You sure you’re okay, alpha?”Ben asked after they’d put him in bed, seeing as Duncan’s breathing was slow and he could barely keep his eyes open.“We can still call your mother’s doctor. He hasn’t left town yet.”Julieta was tucking him in, patting his forehead to make sure nothing was wrong with him, as this wasn’t considered normal for them.“I’m fine! I just need to rest.”Duncan grumbled, turning to his side to make himself comfortable. Though he was weakened, it was actually from a sense of tiredness, nothing more.Though he didn’t want to admit it, avoiding to sound pathetic in front of them. Also, he wanted to understand why he ended up like that in the first place.Julieta and Ben looked at each ot

    Selene, Julieta, and Ben hurried towards the door to open it when they saw Duncan walking for the entrance. They didn’t wait for him to knock, as Julieta unlocked the door the minute she got there.“Alpha!”Ben and the head-maid screamed in unison when Duncan stepped inside. Selene wanted to come closer, but ended up stopping in her tracks the moment she saw he had no clothes.“You’re bleeding!”She muttered unconsciously, before averting her gaze.Crimson liquid covered the young-alpha’s entire body. Some had dried up, but most of it remained glistening from being fresh.“The blood’s not mine.”Duncan huffed, heaving a sigh as he wiped some from his face.“Are you all right, alpha?”Ben frowned, swallowing hard when his gaze shifted outside.Most of the werewolves there were still unconscious, while some who withstood the young-alpha’s attack were now patching themselves up to the best they can because regenerating was impossible, since the wounds they received came from an alpha.“N

    All they could do was stare out the window, watching Duncan break the key in front of the group. They all gasp, seeing this, but what got them worried more was how the nearby packs were already crouched for an attack.Selene nearly screamed in shock when Duncan got pounced, seeing blood and bodies splattering on the ground when the young-alpha retaliated.Her heart couldn’t take it, so she ended up backing away from the scene. She was catching her breath, unable to control her palpitations, as dread clawed on her.“Will he be okay?”She murmured to the two who remained staring out the window, tears swelling in her eyes when she caught the murderous gaze being thrown her way by the head maid.“Do not try that on me, girl! Your tears will not change the fact that you cause all this!”Julieta snarls, squinting her eyes at her in such a way it looked like she wanted to crush her with her gaze.Selene averted her eyes from them, looking down to her feet in utter shame and fear.“Julieta, s

    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
