Bryce was seated on his usual chair at his office, staring at a dark-haired man he had never seen before."You said your name is Nick and you're from Shane's pack?" Bryce seemed intrigued.The man had asked to have a private meeting with Bryce, and that aroused his curiosity."Exactly. I came to talk to you about something very important and that interests you." "Well, then take a seat and just tell me. You have my attention." Nick sat in a chair in front of Bryce's table, like he was in a job interview. Bryce was very intimidating, but Nick was already used to Shane. Compared to his boss, Bryce looked like a little bunny.Shane was a thousand times more daunting."I came to talk to you about Selena." Nick started, and he could tell that Bryce didn't expect that."Selena? What could you possibly have to talk about her?" Bryce said disgusted."I wonder if you already know that she has powers." Bryce almost dropped the glass of water in front of him. He was looking at Nick completel
Lucas arrived at Bryce's house, but had to wait outside because the man was having a meeting with someone else.One of his henchman said that he should not be interrupted because the meeting appeared to be really important.That made Lucas really curious, so he enhanced his hearing so he could have an idea about what was going on inside the room.But he did not expect to listen what he listened.That was Nick, the same guy who attacked Selena, offering Bryce an alliance with Shane? And he wanted to offer a marriage to Selena?Lucas almost lost control of himself and took the door down.What the hell were they planning? What that Shane wanted to do by marrying her?Lucas hid himself and waited until Nick was gone before he could enter Bryce's office. He was so furious that he could barely look at Bryce without wanting to jump on his neck. Not to mention Nick, but it was a good thing that he had left.Lucas would deal with him on another day."Lucas, I wasn't expecting you."Bryce said
Lucas was still waiting some response from Bryce. He didn't want to push the man too hard. He wasn't a very patient man after all.Lucas was already taking a huge risk by threatening him that way.It was true that he was more than capable of going to war against Bryce and his pack, but he wouldn't want to do that.It was Selena's family after all. It was all she had.How could he be responsible for killing lots of them? He wouldn't be able to forgive himself. How could she?But Selena married to someone else other than himself wasn't an option either. "Okay. I'll keep our agreement. I hope you'll do the same. A war won't help any of us." Bryce stated after a while in silence.Lucas straightened his eyes to the man in front of him."Can I trust you?" Bryce shook his head slightly before saying: "Yes, you can. I won't go back on my word." Lucas wasn't convinced. He could never trust someone like Bryce. But for now, that was enough for him.He bought some time for himself to discover
Selena waited until Lucas finished his bath so they could have dinner.She tried not to think of ways to make him kiss her, but she was very pissed at him for leaving her sat on the bed like a rejected woman.It was true that she wanted him to kiss her again very badly, but she wouldn't admit it. She was very proud for that.Lucas left the bathroom like nothing happened before, and they had a very calm and peaceful dinner while drinking some wine.The tension between them was almost visible and palpable in the air. He kept looking at her during the entire dinner, and she wasn't able to stop looking at him as well.How could she? His hair was wet and he was wearing a very casual shirt, but Selena thought he couldn't be any more handsome than that.As the wine was making effect on her body, she could feel that she had to go home urgently. She couldn't spend another night at his house.Only God knows what could happen.Selena got up saying she had to go, but helped Lucas clean everything
If Lucas wasn't holding her, her legs would give away her nervousness. "I have to go home. I have class tomorrow morning, and it's very late already." Lucas smiled gently and released her.Selena felt her skin freeze at the same moment, and she couldn't believe how much she missed his touch on her skin.How was that normal? Was that what humans felt when they had an attraction to someone, when they liked someone?How could they live with that powerful feeling? It was consuming every part of her soul the need she had to be near him now.She didn't want him to let her go. She actually thought he was going to ignore what she had asked, and kiss her.But she was wrong. He was now grabbing his cellphone and keys to take her home.He didn't even ask her to stay."I'll take you there. And don't even try to argue with me about this." Lucas said seriously.He was very intimidating, so Selena didn't even try to say something about that.She simply followed him out of the house and got into hi
"What did you just say? I don't think I heard you correctly." She looked at Maddie for the first time. Her eyes could not be more open. Selena almost laughed. Maddie blinked a few times before she pulled herself together."What did I miss? How could you possibly be in love with him?" "That's what I'd like to know. I mean, I tried so hard not to." Selena sighed."Wait, wait, wait. Go back to the beginning. Last time I checked, you were going on a date with Robbie and you hated Lucas." "I mean, I also don't understand. He pisses me off and sometimes I swear that I hate him, but I can't deny what I feel every time I see him." Selena was trying to tell everything she could so Maddie could understand the situation, without having to talk about their werewolf origin. It didn't seem so hard when she thought about it first."Isn't that how you feel about William?" Selena was also trying to understand everything as she talked to Maddie."Well… I wouldn't say I'm in love with him. It's j
Selena didn't think she would actually be that nervous to go out with Lucas.Lucas sent her a text, and Selena didn't know how he got her number, asking if she wanted him to pick her up or if they should meet somewhere.Selena didn't want to bother him, nor she wanted someone from her pack seeing him around, specially not her father.It could be the end of that relationship even before it started.She said she would meet him at the park and then she went home to get ready.She took a shower, wore some comfy jeans and a jacket, and left to meet him. Her hands were a bit sweaty, but she tried to relax.She didn't have any reason to be nervous after all. Right?When she arrived at the park, it wasn't hard to find Lucas among everyone there.His appearance made him stood out like he wasn't even supposed to be part of that world. Selena couldn't believe how lucky she was because he wanted to spend time with her amongst everyone else in the world.She thought it should be normal for him to h
"I'm an Alpha, right? I should at least know something about others in the same position, specially the ones that live nearby." He had to come up with an answer quickly, but that seemed to convince her.Lucas didn't want to get deeper into that matter. He wouldn't tell her that he was the one that asked her hand in marriage to her father."I see what you mean. It makes sense." "So, you were saying your life is pretty boring." Lucas encouraged her to continue. He wanted to know everything he could about her."Yes. My mother died giving birth to me, so I've never met her. My father hates me because he thinks I killed her somehow." Lucas could see how Selena's sad eyes gave her away. It must had been a very lonely childhood without her parents present in her life.He clenched his fist in anger. He hated Bryce even more now."So the only person I had by my side during all my life was my grandmother. She is everything to me." Selena's eyes changed from sad to radiant in a second as she
