SELENE'S POV.

The air in Caelum's chamber was heavy, choking, and quiet. I could feel his aura from where I lay on the man's shoulders. My eyes fluttered weakly open, vision blurry, but I caught a glimpse of him standing tall near the window, his back to us.

"As soon as Caelum saw his men," he turned sharply, his voice cold as ice.

"Where is she?"

They all froze.

I heard the tremor in the leader's voice as he answered, "Alpha... she's the one we are carrying.'

Caelum's head snapped towards them. His golden eyes flared dangerously.

"What did you just say?"

The men exchanged nervous glances.

"It's Selene, Alpha. She's.... she's unconscious. We found her near the stream, drifting in and out of consciousness.

There was a brief silence. Then his tone dropped lower, calm but deadly enough to freeze blood.

"Is she still alive?"

I held my breath. My heart thudded painfully in my chest. That question alone told me what I already knew, he didn't care if I lived or died.

"She's alive, Alpha,"

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO:THE MEMORY IN THE ROOM

    DAIRUS'S POV.What happened between me and Selene couldn't leave my memory even after dawn. I had tossed and turned, trying to shake the image of her lips, her trembling body, her lips begging me not to go. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her again, very beautiful and fragile.I groaned and rubbed my face."What's wrong with me? I'm a mighty Alpha and can't be tossed to and fro by anyone or anything."I'd never felt this way before. Never. The worst part is that I can't even explain how I feel. Not even for the strongest, most beautiful females of my pack and other packs, and now it'll be Selene.There was something about her, something that clawed at my chest and wouldn't let go. In fact, she's a curse, a symbol of the tragedy that destroyed my brother. Her parents killed my brother and I hate her. I really do.But the truth remains that my mouth was saying another thing and my mind another thing.I slammed my fist against the table, the sound echoing through the chamber."No. She

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: A STORMY NIGHT AND A SURPRISE KISS

    SELENE'S POV.The days had stretched long and long since Dairus left me in the guest chamber. I wondered why Caelum had not come back for me after the last time he came and I hid. Has he been warned by Dairus, the great warlord, never to come to his pack, or has he just decided not to come again? Whichever one, staying, I think it's well, though all is not moving smoothly with me.The guard assigned to watch over me barely attends to me. He barely looked my way. He brought food once a day, sometimes late, sometimes not at all. Some nights I went to sleep hungry, staring at the cracked ceiling and wondering if this was better than death.But deep down, I knew it was still better than being in Caelum's pack.. At least here, no one touched me, no one dragged me by the hair, or threatened to break my bones for breathing wrong. The silence here, though cold and empty, was safer than Caelum's cruelty. I know Caelum would definitely come for me, let me enjoy my peace while it lasts.One of

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   CHAPTER TWENTY: THE PACK'S WAR

    DAIRUS'S POV.As soon as I heard the footsteps and the sound of my warriors approaching. I left Selene in the guest room without another glance. My heart has always been to know the outcome of the battle my warriors went to. I don't joke with anyone anytime I send my warriors for any battle without going with them. I'm always on alert to get their feedback. War was the only thing that ever made sense to me. Emotions could be tamed, but the rage of battle could never be silenced.I marched faster as their footsteps were getting closer.By the time I reached the pack's meeting hall, the scent of blood, sweat, and fear hung so heavy in the air. My warriors were battered, wounded, though some did not have any injury. The moment I stepped in, the room fell silent. My wolf stirred uneasily inside me, his growl echoing in my chest."What happened?" My voice thundered through the hall, making even the walls tremble.The leader of my warriors stepped forward, his arm in a sling, his armor tor

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   CHAPTER NINETEEN: PLEASE DON'T GO

    DAIRUS'S POV.After the warriors left, the pack had just begun to breathe again, a shallow inhale after the warriors stamped out for battle. For a few heartbeats I let myself believe Blackwood was right: the weight on my chest would loosen. That illusion died the moment I heard a voice.It started as a single thin shout from the direction of the holding wing where Selene was kept. I ignored the shout. Pride and the exhaustion of days of sleep-starved vigilance told me to ignore it. Then the voice rose, raw and shredded and my wolf answered before I did."Selene."It was her name that cut through everything. The sound was hitting me differently. I decided to ignore it while I waited for my warriors to come back, or to listen to see if they would need any assistance from me or the other warriors. I was still outside when the sound came a third time; this time, my wolf whimpered in my head, and I couldn't help but go and see the reason for the shout and who was making it, even though I

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE CONFUSION

    DAIRUS'S POV.When I entered the Crescent Claws Pack, the place looked more mysterious than ever. The cold mist floating around the ground made the air feel most sacred. My heart kept racing as I walked past the sentries, their heads bowed in respect.Alpha Blackwood's chamber is in the middle of the pack. I pushed open the doors and stepped inside.He was already there, seated in an oak chair, a faint smile dancing across his face. His silver eyes gleamed like the moonlight. He looked very calm but full of wisdom."Alpha Dairus, " he greeted warmly, rising from his chair."You've come sooner than I thought."I blinked, taken aback."You knew I was coming?He chuckled softly, walking towards me with open arms. "I got the signal yesterday."Despite his welcoming tone, my chest felt heavy. I had barely slept, and the dream still burned vividly in my mind. My voice trembled slightly as I spoke."I.....I don't understand what's happening anymore. These dreams are so real and I can't lay m

    DAIRUS'S POV.That coffee that I took really helped me. I didn't know when sleep finally claimed me but when it did, it dragged me into a world of dreams again. I kept wondering why all these were happening. This time I was not surrounded by darkness or flames, I stood in the middle of a forest, very quiet and familiar.The air there was so cool and heavy at the same time. The moon was shining so brightly. I turned around slowly, and then I realized where I was. It was at that spot where I met Selene when she was escaping from Caelum's pack.I felt shivers down my spine. The memory flashed in my mind."What am I doing here?" I muttered under my breath, stepping cautiously over the moss-covered group.The wind whispered through the trees, low and eerie. I was still standing there. Suddenly it now looked like a desert, everywhere became so dry and all I could see was the sand. The air there now became hot. I started walking trying to see if I could find a place to take shade. As I was w
