SELINE

I tried to protest Emily's proposal, but I knew it was a losing battle. I needed to get some rest so I could be strong enough to see Ethan. Even though he was with Alpha Marcus's family, my poor boy was probably terrified and worried about me. And I was worried about him.

But I couldn't deny that I needed rest.

So, I laid back in bed.

Emily told me she'd be downstairs and she'd check on me in a little while, and then she quietly left the room. Once she was gone, I took a long deep breath

  • HE LEFT ME TO DIE, NOW I'M HIS ONLY CURE   CHAPTER 16

    SELINEI lingered outside the meeting room door for a moment, and my heart beat ferociously in my chest. Sure enough, Emily was gone, and I took this alone time to center myself.It'd been a long time since I'd thought about the girl I'd been before the inferno.As the years had grown by, I'd allowed her to fade away into near nothingness, but the return of Austin Collins to my life had changed that entirely. Seline Carter, my new identity, was no match for the Alpha King, and his arrival, along with the order to return to Ravenspire, had a chance of tearing my life to shreds.Long ago, I'd been Elena Hart, the daughter of a Gamma wolf named David Hart. I had been born into a prestigious werewolf family, exalted in the Valcrest Empire, and the Moonfall Pack in particular.My father and my older brother, Owen, were well-respected warriors in our Pack. They were tough as nails and a major asset to the crown. After a chain of events, I was chosen to be Austin- the Alpha prince's- mate an

  • HE LEFT ME TO DIE, NOW I'M HIS ONLY CURE   Chapter 15

    SELINEI gulped back the lump in my throat as I stared at the black mark on Austin's skin. Of anyone, I never would have expected the Alpha King to become infected with the mysterious disease. Especially since he'd just arrived here from Ravenspire.Was the disease running rampant in the capital just as it did here?We hadn't heard anything about it here, and besides, if it was so prevalent, there would have been no reason for Austin to keep his condition so private and concealed. So, how did he get infected in the first place?From the research I'd conducted with my patients, I'd come to the conclusion that the disease didn't transfer very easily, which was especially lucky for us. Otherwise, we'd all have been infected by now, especially me. I worked around the infected so often that it was a miracle that Emily and I hadn't become infected yet.Though the illness was peculiar and mysterious, there was one thing I did know- the disease weakened werewolves' power. Once present in the

  • HE LEFT ME TO DIE, NOW I'M HIS ONLY CURE   CHAPTER 14

    SELINEI felt like a rabbit cornered by a fearsome predator. My entire body broke into goosebumps, and as I stared back at the Alpha King, I couldn't believe what was happening. Was this truly the Austin Collins I'd known since childhood?I'd always known the Alpha King was ruthless. I'd heard countless tales from others in the Shadowvale Pack about his heartlessness and his cruelty. It'd been said on many occasions that he was much like his father, the old Alpha King, a man who'd centralized his power and oppressed the members of his own empire.At the time, I hadn't believed the stories. I'd thought there had to be some sort of disconnect, a misunderstanding of some sort that kept people from seeing the real Austin. He might not have been a loyal mate, but I'd always trusted that he would be a great Alpha.Past memories flooded through my mind.Austin had never been a cold and dominant man all those years ago. We'd grown up together and spent most of our childhoods with one another.

  • HE LEFT ME TO DIE, NOW I'M HIS ONLY CURE   CHAPTER 13

    SELINEMy voice caught in my throat as the Alpha King's words set in. He was absolutely correct and I understood the potential consequences of my actions completely.Things in Ravenspire were different than they were here. In Ravenspire, going against the Alpha's wish or running from the Pack was considered treason, and furthermore, a felony. They were strict in their laws and highly set in their ways in the capital, something I knew all too well. I'd lived in that terrible city for eighteen years.Austin Collins' cold gray eyes bore into mine with horrible intensity as he waited for me to respond to his accusation, but I didn't know how to answer. If I owned up to and admitted that I was trying to run away, I would be arrested and tried for treason. But I didn't have another reason to justify my actions.Who would run into the forest at midnight with all of their belongings other than a deserter?Luckily, before I could respond, Derek rushed to his feet."You're taking her to Ravensp

Luckily, the medicine Emily had given me was highly effective, and I drifted off quickly, but my sleep was anything but peaceful.My dreams were plagued with images and nightmares of the inferno along with scenarios of losing my Ethan all because Austin had exposed my real identity. The dreams were strange and twisted, and when I awoke, I was drenched in sw

  • HE LEFT ME TO DIE, NOW I'M HIS ONLY CURE   CHAPTER 11

    SELINEWhen I awoke, my vision was blurred, and my head swam with incoherent thoughts. As I fought back the dizziness, my eyes began to adjust, and images of the Moon Goddess and the Holy Moon appeared.For a moment, I stared at them and wondered if this was the afterlife.Had the bear managed to take my life? Was I… dead?Suddenly, the room came into focus, and I recognized the mural I'd painted on my ceiling long ago. I wasn't dead. I was in my bedroom, tucked tightly into bed.How had I gotten here?Suddenly, I felt the soft touch of a warm hand on my arm. When I glanced over, I caught sight of Emily."Oh Seline," she gushed in pure relief, and her pale green eyes glittered with tears. "You're awake!"It took me a moment to register everything. I blinked a few times and then I smiled up at my dear friend. "H-hi, E-Emily."The effort of speaking hurt my throat, but I was so relieved to see her that it didn't matter."I was so worried, Sel," Emily continued on, and she wiped a tear f
