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 not 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 ano
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
With a deep breath, Selene takes her first step out of the bus, ready for another challenge. A ray of sunshine flash before her, forcing her to race a hand to her face, as the beam from the setting sun prickled her skin. Her heart raced upon glimpsing at the scenery of reddish skies kissing the mountains. Along with the lush forest all around. Unlike her hometown, filled with buildings, bustling cars, and people. The place was teeming with trees and other plants. Few vehicles drove by the long road, and the highest structures were a three story clock tower, resembling those of olden times. After having her fill of the view, she reaches for her pocket, fishing out the piece of paper she received from the mail, reading the notes and drawn map on it. She swallowed hard, wandering her gaze to search for the landmark which was shown there. Nervous that she might be in the wrong place. A strong wind blew by when the bus left, causing her to let out a loud squeal when the gust lifted he
After preparing breakfast, cleaning the house, and doing the laundry, Selene readied herself to start her day. Not wanting to experience another mishap like yesterday. This time she wore a plain white shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Yet because they were old clothes, all of them were hugging tightly, even with her thin figure. All seemed well, until she checked herself in the mirror and saw how her belly was sticking out, because of how her breast were pushing parts of it. Not having anything else to wear, since all her other stuff had become faded, ripped, or too small for her, she got left with no other choice but to make do with it. She mitigated her situation by putting on a jacket, all so she can cover herself. But because of the dry temperature, she ended up only wrapping the thing around her waist. Satisfied with her outfit on her second look, she finally steps out of the room where she was staying. This was the first time she’d slept in a soft bed in years since her parents
Those pitch black eyes continued to linger in her thoughts, as if it was right in front of her. There was something about the way the young man looked at her that sent unfamiliar shivers throughout her entirety. No matter how many times she tries to make sense of it all. She could not figure why she could not remove it from her mind. Also, her consciousness did not wander off some place during the entire time. As if the guy had completely pulled everything around her. She only returned to reality, catching the muffling sound of a sweet voice, together with a shadow waving at her peripheral vision. Selene flinches, shaking her head to wake herself from the daze. Followed by an immediate gulp, because of the sudden dryness in her throat. “You all right, dear?” It was aunt Penelope, staring at her with a frown. Worry etched on her face, realizing she’d been dozing their entire conversation. “Yes, aunty.” Selene was quick to put on her smile, hurrying to finish the food in her pl

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 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
