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
Waiting on the outskirt of town. The black sports car parked deep in the forest, hidden within the trees near the main road. Leaning on it was none other than Duncan.A prideful grin written all over his face while looking out into nothingness, remembering the glory and victory he got during the incident in the mansion.His attention immediately shifted, seeing the vehicle approaching his way. He quickly straightens, putting on his serious expression.Julieta kept her composure, yet the tiredness and disappointment remained etched in her eyes, even underneath her stoic facade.“How’d it go?”Duncan raised a brow, noticing this.For the longest time, the female had been caring for him. This was the first in a while that he’d seen her so agitated.“Forgive me alpha. I wasn’t able to get anything from those old hags.”Julieta was now on her knees, gritting her teeth in sheer annoyance and rage.She never like those priestesses as she considers them no different from the witch Penelope an
Selene’s smile was wide with glee and fascination. This being the first festival she’s ever been to, she could not help but get sucked into the liveliness and joy of everything that was happening.She kept looking around, enjoying the scenery while sitting on one of the picnic table atop a small cliff.This gave her a clear view of the concert party down below, all the while savoring the foods the place offered, as there were stalls set up nearby offering free food.She didn’t wonder why the entire celebration was happening in the middle of the forest, nor did she bother to ask the reason for being left there, as all she can think of was how mesmerizing and fun everything was.“You seem to be enjoying yourself?”A deep voice came out from behind her, rippling through the loud music, breaking through even among the cheers and chattering of those around them.Her heartbeat nearly stopped, recognizing who it belonged to, shuddering because of the sudden heat building up from within her.
In the midst of the crowd, Selene stood like a statue. With an awkward smile, unlike the others there who were letting it all out, raving to the music and just going all out.She hugged herself, all the while roaming her gaze to the surrounding people. She looked so out of place, similar to a fallen petal sailing through raging waves.“Come on. Your alpha orders you to have fun!”Duncan nudges her to move.He can’t believe she’d stay so prude, even after being surrounded by so many individuals in heat.Selene bit her lip, still shifting her gaze away from him. She tried to let out a laugh, but ended up in a sort of giggle.“This is just so new to me.”She says biting her lips afterwards, all the while keeping her head low.Duncan swallowed hard, suddenly hit by realization. He’d been gawking at her all this time, only noticing it after being awestruck at the sight of Selene fixing a piece of hair that slid down her face.He only became aware of it when everything around him seemed to
What seemed to be a simple task suddenly turned into a challenge the moment the music change, when the band playing shifted from a soothing romantic mellow, into a completely wild and rowdy one.It was like the sounds controlled the crowd’s movement, making the crowd dance fast, yet staying sensual.Some grinding on each other, others shaking their hips, and a few wiggling themselves to follow the tune, all of them going crazy at every beat.“Wait, excuse me. Can I please pass?”Selene tried to squeeze through, but to no avail as almost everyone there was trying to get close to one another.Surrounded by so many bodies wanting to merge, she ended up getting dragged off as the crowd started to move in unison.Unable to see anything, Selene’s instinct kicked in after glimpsing a clearing nearby. She jumps without hesitation, barely landing on all fours she hurried to crawl away from the mob.Once at a safe distance, she finally stood up, glancing at her surroundings to check where she w
Duncan let out a pained groan, closing his eyes as he laid on the grassy meadow, placing both hands on his head to relax. He needed to release the buildup heat the woman had caused, desperate to ease the aching itch in his groins.Baring his nakedness out in the open to bathe in the moon’s glow. The shimmer highlighted every line and shape he had, thus making his already well-built body more refined and pleasing.It didn’t take long before several figures emerge from within the shadows of the forest, their eyes glowing like fiery orbs, each one of them locking in on the male upfront. Attracted by the strong and masculine scent, they move similar to moths to a flame.As the wild predators they were, they crawl on all fours, face lowered, sniffing, while their backs raised up at the ready to pounce.In minutes, they’ve managed to surround the sprawled down alpha who remained perfectly still, unfazed by the approaching group.A loud yet pleased groan escaped Duncan’s pursed lips, his bo
Selene’s mind ceased functioning the minute she got surrounded by those men. Being bombarded by such unfamiliar carnal desires put her into a state of limbo, confused and helpless, not knowing what to do or how to handle all her feelings.Instead of being afraid, she was relieved. The supposed fear and repulsion to the strangers weren’t there. It got replaced by anticipation and cravings for touch or even something more.The last time she had experienced such an event was with Duncan, though her urges right now were weaker, unlike before, but it was still hard to resist.It’s like her morality completely vanished, her lust skyrocketing, and her sanity slowly slipping away with each minute.A part of her subconscious continued reminding her that this was all wrong, but they get toppled down by all the salacious thoughts appearing one after another.While Selene struggled with herself, the individuals circling her were busy with growling and baring their fangs on each other.It seems no
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
“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
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
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
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
