When Selena and Maddie arrived at the Treehouse Bar, it was not hard to find where the group was. It was a very nice and casual bar that was attended by college students at the city. It was in the open-air and most of the people stood on their feet, drinking and chatting. Selena started to feel very nervous. She didn't know anyone that were with Robbie. While they were walking towards the group, William saw them and waved.Robbie had his back to Selena and Maddie, but when he saw William waving at them, he turned."Hey, you came!" he said, approaching the two girls."I told you we would come." Selena replied with a soft smile."Come, I'll introduce you both to everyone." Robbie passed his arms through Selena's and Maddie's shoulders.William gave Maddie a kiss on her cheek, leaving the girl completely blushed, but she was very good at pretending she wasn't shy.Robbie introduced everyone, but when he was about to introduce the last guy, Selena was already looking at him.At first, she
Selena stormed off towards Maddie. The girl looked surprised with Selena pushing Lucas away all of a sudden. "What happened?""Ah, now you were looking at me, huh?" Selena got back at her, regretting it the moment the words came out of her mouth. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be an idiot. I'm sorry." "Okay, relax, girl. Don't worry!" Maddie gave her a warm smile. Selena felt that she didn't deserve her friendship at all. She was just frustrated with the whole situation and didn't know how to react."I'm going home. You can stay here if you want, I don't want to spoil your night." But Maddie was already grabbing her purse. "I'm going with you." She said something on William's ear and then locked her arms with Selena's, pulling her to the bar's exit.They walked a short distance at total silence, when Maddie finally took the courage to ask again."Can you tell me now what happened?" Selena took a deep breath before looking at her friend. She was still feeling bad for snapping back at M
Selena was seated at the balcony stairs while appreciating the view of the forest and some young members from the pack playing with some wooden sticks.She couldn't stop thinking about Lucas and what he had said to her at the bar. She tried so hard to pretend she was unaware of his presence, but him, out of everyone, was the one that noticed. She was so consumed by those thoughts, that didn't notice someone getting closer. It was Gerard, a middle-aged man that she liked a lot. He was close to an older brother to her. "Hey, Sel. Bryce asked you to go see him." he said, with an empathetic smile on his face."He asked or he commanded?" she replied ironically. She got up on her feet and smiled at him. Gerard smiled back and passed his arms over her shoulders and accompanied her to her father's office."Try to stay calm, okay?" he begged. "I don't think it's good news for you." Selena looked at him, starting to get a little nervous. Gerard knew her, and for him to say that, she would
"How many are we talking about?" Selena asked, running after Darius and the twins."I'm not quite sure. I believe there are five of ours there, but I don't know how many of them." "Got it!" They ran for a few minutes inside the forest until they were able to see the packs battling. Selena could instantly recognize the five wolves from her pack, but they were outnumbered. For what she could count from that distance, there were at least eight wolves from the rival pack. She looked at Darius, but he was already on the way to the fight, already turned into his wolf shape. The twins did the same, and Selena followed them, suddenly feeling more powerful. She always felt great as a wolf. Her fur was dark black like her hair and her eyes yellow like the sun. She felt her senses getting more sharp. She could sense the scent of each wolf distinctly and see even better.She gained speed and went in the direction of two enemy wolves that were unjustly beating one of hers. She grabbed one of t
Selena opened her eyes with some difficulty, feeling her whole body ache. At first, she could only look at the ceiling, feeling some sort of familiarity with the place. It seemed to be her grandmother's living room. She also realized that the smell of medicines that made her wake up came from her grandmother, that was beside her. "Ah, you're finally awake!" her Grandma said, smiling at her. "I thought you wouldn't wake up anymore.""What is this smell?" Selena frowned. "I'm cleaning your wounds. It's not pretty." Grandma answered.Selena tried to sit on the bed, but her grandmother slapped her arm and commanded her to stay laid down.Not that she would be able to, since with just that little movement, she felt so much pain that almost fainted."Ah!" Selena moaned. "It's hurting like hell!""Don't say that!" Grandma protested. "I was hoping you could tell me what happened. No one could tell me how you got in this state."Selena's mind was spinning while she tried to remember anything
"Lord Shane! Lord Shane!" a dark-haired guy came shouting at a tall and serious man that was contemplating the moon through the window, with the hands on his pockets.They were inside of an old and abandoned warehouse outside of the city, where their pack lived.Lord Shane was their leader and they were a band of rogue wolves that thought they were better and stronger than most of the other wolves. They didn't care about any rules and always did what they wanted.Shane was a young man with blonde hair, green eyes and a face full of scars. His presence was terrifying and it was almost like the place got colder every time he arrived.They always liked to terrorize and put up a fight with other packs at the city for no reason."Why are you shouting? Didn't I tell you that I hate when you shout?" Shane closed his eyes for a moment before turning to the man in front of him. "What is it?" The young man seemed so excited, that he didn't seem to care that Shane looked very angry with the inte
Selena woke up feeling much better, with no more bruises or broken bones. She took a very cold shower to scare away the laziness from her sore body. While washing her hair and lathering all the ointment off of her skin, Selena took deep breaths to forget about the nightmare she was living at home. She was still very upset about the whole conversation she had with her father on the previous night. She also remembered the night at the bar. And Lucas. For a moment, she thought that it had all been a bad dream. With the battle, she was able to take him off of her mind for a while. But now she would have to face him at college. Although she thought that maybe it would be easy to avoid him, since she had never seen him there before. However, there was also Robbie.She left without talking to him. Would he be upset with her? She owed him an apology, but wasn't ready to do it yet. She was still trying to figure out what she felt about Lucas.She arrived at college and went straight to
Selena didn't have much time to think. She suddenly saw herself facing four wolves at the end of the street. She could instantly recognize the wolf that had attacked her on the forest the other day. It was his smell that Selena felt the whole day after all."What the hell do you want from me? Are you not satisfied yet?" she shouted to the brownish wolf that was coming near her slowly, followed by the others.Selena was still on her human form.She considered turning her back and running to where she came from, but that would attract them to Maddie's house, and she didn't want that.She wouldn't be able to handle four wolves by herself, specially not in a human form. In any scenario, she was screwed. She would have to shift into a wolf, because they would eat her alive if she remained like that. Selena took a few steps back and turned herself into a big black wolf with yellow eyes. The wolves didn't seem to be impressed by her though.She started to feel the shivering slightly growing
