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 was so dazed and restless, drag down into the pit of carnal cravings because of all those memories. She became drunk with passion, nerve, and need, clouding her mind with unsavory thoughts.She swallowed hard, trying to calm herself. Yet the man’s powerful scent was making it so difficult, hypnotized by that mesmerizing mix of chocolate and wood.In just seconds, she was gasping for air, feeling her throat drying from the unknown thirst brought about by the increase in her body’s temperature.Some of her senses have also become heightened. 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 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. But then, the ide
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
From her aunt’s house, to Duncan’s mansion, now into the larger estate of the Vondeer’s, Selene hadn’t had the time to get her bearings, leaving her confused and nervous while standing in front of an entire room full of people.All she could do was swallow hard to calm her nerves, wanting to keep herself still as she continued to tremble in place. 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
Selene breath a sigh of relief, relaxing as he looked up at Lucas who 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 another
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
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
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
