Lungs tightening with each breath, skin stinging from every corner, and joints throbbing even while she remained steady, laid down, facing the sky. A whimper escaped Selene because of the mixture of cold numbness and stabbing pain within her body.

It was the sounds of murmurs from afar that woke her up. As her instincts were pushing her to move or cry out once more.

She opened her mouth, but her throat burned from the inside when she tried to make a sound, causing her to cough, making her insides twist and prickle. She let out a gurgling noise when liquid started coming out of her.

Another croak came when she tasted the iron, dirt, and tanginess in her tongue. It left her with no choice but to stop, needing to chase after her breath.

“The trail leads here!”

A familiar voice echoed through the forest. But the depth of darkness was too thick that everything remained pitch black.

Not wanting to give up, Selene gathered every remaining ounce of strength she had, pushing as much air throug

    For the first time in years, the small council of Silent Ridge peak has once again has come together, as the recent incident has incited another grave concern for everyone living there.All of them gathered a few meters from where the supposed victim was resting, wanting to see for themselves the severity of the situation they were facing.Included among the older congregation were the young Lucas and Duncan, standing as representatives of their respective packs.“It’s witchcraft. She is the same as her aunt!”A mustached elder hissed, eyes widening after having seen the female’s state.When they arrive there, they expected to see a bloodies corpse, based on the reports given by their scouts. But to their surprise, they face a perfectly healthy and resting girl, half naked because of her torn clothes.“None of you can prove that.”Lucas was keen to dismiss the idea, sending a mocking gaze at the people there.That receive glares from everybody who was present, even the doctors and nur

    Even with the stinging scent of ammonia, alcohol, and iron attacking her senses, Selene continued pretending to be asleep. She’d been awake for half an hour, but could not bring it upon herself to open her eyes in fear, hearing the number of individuals around her, along with being naked.From what she caught during the entire conversation, they were fighting over her about something, though she didn’t catch the gist of it all.One thing is for sure, in her mind, there were people who didn’t want her there. She could not understand what she’d done wrong this time, since she had been keeping to herself.The thought of that cause a surge of terror and panic in her.Each breath she took became heavier, faster, and stingy with each inhale. Her eyes, even though remaining closed, heated when tears formed and wish to escape.It was at this moment the calming voice echoed through her thoughts again.‘Be strong, little one.’These words hummed inside her head, like a soothing music which put

    Tired and weakened, Selene hardly notice she’d lost consciousness again. The pull of sleep was too much for her to bear, only waking when she noticed the itch in her throat.Somehow recovered, she now had the strength to open her eyes. A frown immediately appeared on her face upon gazing at where she was in.Dust floating everywhere, sticking to the walls, floors, and ceiling. A single small window gave the room light, making the entire place dim.She hugged herself when the coldness prickled her skin, steam coming out of her with each breath. Her hands instinctively brushed the side of her bed, searching for a blanket or something to cover herself, realizing her nakedness.Unable to find anything, she sat up to get a better look around, groaning from the jolt of pain piercing through her joints.“Hello? Is anybody there?”Her voice echoed through the empty room, yet it did not seem to leave the place she was in.She frowned at the wooden door at the far end of it, having a small slid

    Duncan Vondeer’s face wrinkled from the deepness of his frown. His eyes, half open, not wanting to fully see the person walking around in front of him.He and a few others gathered in the study, discussing the reason for his current decision. He wasn’t supposed to be there, if it not for George, his father’s beta and second in command forcing him.It left him with no choice but to groan and grumble at his dissatisfaction and annoyance. His ears were ringing from the squeaky high-pitched voice, bantering nonstop for half an hour already.“A debt? That’s the best you can come up with?”Valentine Sage’s face looked like it was about to explode. Its color had turned beet red from all the huffing and puffing she’d been doing.Unable to endure the continues nagging. Duncan finally let out a growl, hand wiping his face to keep what little patience he had.“Can we not talk about this?”His voice was firm, gritting his teeth after slamming his fist on the chair’s arm, almost breaking the thin

    After years of being passed around, disregarded, and shunned. For the first time, Selene could genuinely smile with glee.The sensation of being needed and relied upon brought about an insurmountable energy and reason for her. Especially since it was her aunt Penelope who was in need. It was now her chance to return the favor for the new life she had given her.She does a quick turn in front of the mirror, making sure she’d properly put on the uniform provided to her by an attendant there.It was a black and white maid outfit, complete with an apron and the headdress.Though shorter than the supposed design, since she’s certain it should reach up to his ankle, not her knee. Even if it wasn’t the style, she thought, she remained giddy, wearing such frilly kind of clothing.The way it flaps in the air when she moves and its softness on her skin was something she’d never experienced before.Footsteps coming from the stairs caused her to straighten, immediately turning to face the entrywa

    Duncan couldn’t remove the grin on his face, having achieved something none had ever tried before. It was a long shot, but somehow, the discovery elated him.He looks out the window from his father’s study, closely watching Selene watering the flowers on the other side of the maze garden.The girl was alone, yet she had this smile on, all the while vigilantly doing her task of tending the plants there.“You actually did it!”It was Ben, his beta, jumping in cheer after hearing what he had done.He gathered his two most trusted aid to tell them about the situation, since they remained wary of their ward. The woman wasn’t just another hapless victim; she was the niece of Penelope Hallow. The so-called moonlight wench.Also, her sudden recovery after getting attack puzzled many of them. As he too was certain she had died when they brought her to the infirmary.“Was that necessary, young alpha?”Julieta bit her lip, hands clasp together in worry.She was aware they were dealing with someo

    The confused, brooding, and gentle gaze hidden beneath a hardened exterior of Duncan continued to plague Selene’s mind. This was the image that got stuck in her. After having seen the man’s eyes in such clarity, she could discern the shadows cast upon by his broody composure.At first she thought it was just him being young, but the moment their gaze met, everything became clear to her.Sadness, pain, and longing. All of those things were familiar to her. So it was easy to spot the same in the guy’s eyes.She can’t help but be empathetic towards the guy. Though the fact remains he is better off than her, she now had this sense of connection with him.Also, there’s the part she cannot remove the man from her head, his face popping up in her mind once in a while, along with the distraught and giddiness in her insides.It’s been days since that incident, and yet the memory of it continued to linger like it was yesterday.She tussled and turn on her bed, frantic with those unknown emotion

    Duncan couldn’t hide his rage, his wrinkled in such a fashion, his teeth showed. Blood boiling from having no way to release all his pent-up emotions, it left him with nothing to do but freak out.His only place of solace was now being used by the person who’m he despises. Not only that, he hated the fact he got affected by what he saw.His crotch continued to throb and would not calm down, having that weight and twisting in his privates only added to his frustration.That’s why he didn’t hesitate to summon his two subordinate, wanting to find some sort of way to let out his irritation.“Of all the places, you had to put her there.”He bellows, causing the beta to flinch and lower his heads. While the maid remained bowing the moment she got there.“I’m sorry, young alpha. It was the only area where there was a working lavatory.”Julieta stayed stoic, unaffected by his master’s bantering. Not bothered by the intense murderous gaze being thrown their way.“Have you even considered the c

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
