SELENE WOLFE
Orion advanced menacingly, gripping Xander's clothes tightly. "What the heck did you just pull, Xander?" Orion questioned, his tone unnervingly calm. Xander, now visibly frightened, stammered, "I-I didn't mean to cause trouble, Alpha Orion. It was just a misunderstanding." Orion tightened his hold, insisting, "Explain yourself, and it better make sense."I pleaded desperately, rushing forward to intervene. "Orion, please" I grasped at Orion's arm, attempting to hold him back, but he casually shrugged me off.Orion's gaze remained fixed on Xander, his voice low and intense. "No, Selene. He needs to clarify why he laid his hands on you."The tension in the room escalated, and I felt a knot tighten in my stomach.Xander, attempting to deflect blame, replied defiantly, "Orion, you're overreacting. She's just useless."Orion's patience wore thin, and in an instant, his fist collided with Xander's jaw. The sound echoed in the room, and Xander staggered back, stunned.I couldn't stand by silently. "Orion, violence isn't the answer! Let's talk this through," I implored, my voice shaky.Orion, though visibly agitated, took a step back, rubbing his knuckles."Talk, then. But he better have a damn good explanation."Xander, nursing his jaw, tried to regain composure. "Look, it's not what you think. I was just trying to teach her a lesson. Things got out of hand."Orion scoffed, his disbelief apparent. "You think laying hands on Selene is the way to teach her a lesson? Who the fuck are you to teach her a lesson"The room was suddenly filled with the sickening sound of blows as Orion unleashed his fury upon Xander. I couldn't bear it any longer; I pleaded with all my strength,"Orion, please stop! This isn't the way!" Tears streamed down my face as I rushed forward, desperately trying to shield Xander from the relentless assault."Orion, enough!" I cried out, throwing my arms around him. His breaths were heavy, and for a moment, the room stilled as I clung to him. His fists were clenched, and he finally relented."Selene, he laid hands on you. He needs to pay for that," Orion growled, his anger still evident in his voice.I held onto him, my voice trembling. "Orion, I understand your anger, but more violence won't solve anything. Let's find another way to handle this." Just then, the door swung open, and Luca, Orion's beta, entered, confusion etched across his face."What's going on here?" Luca questioned, his eyes darting between the tense trio.Orion, still seething, explained, "Xander here decided it was a good idea to lay hands on Selene."Luca's eyes widened in shock "You really laid your filthy hands on Selene?" he exclaimed, his voice rising with anger just as Xavier held him.As Luca's anger flared, I pleaded desperately."Luca, please don't do this! Let's find another way to sort things out." My voice trembled with fear, and I took a step forward, hoping to defuse the tension.Luca, however, was consumed by his rage, ignoring my pleas. "Xander needs to pay for what he did!" he snarled, attempting to break free from Xavier's grip.Xander, fear evident in his eyes, stammered, "I-I know I messed up, but please, let's talk about this."Luca, fueled by frustration, strained against Xavier's hold. "Talking won't fix this. He hurt you, Selene."I continued to beg, "Luca, violence won't solve anything. We're better than this. Please, for the sake of our packs."Meanwhile, Xavier, struggling to restrain Luca, implored, "Luca, calm down. We can't resort to violence. Let's find a peaceful solution.""Enough, both of you!" Orion growled out. "Bring Alpha Dominic here. We need to talk," Orion commanded.As Alpha Dominic entered the room, his eyes locked onto me with a disapproving glance. The tension in the room was palpable as they awaited his response.Orion, towering over Alpha Dominic, began, "I want to tell you that due to what Xander did to Selene, I'm cutting off the alliance." "Orion, maybe we should—" I started saying but before I could finish, Orion cut me off sharply, "Selene, shut up. You don't need to stand up for a pack that's hurt you. You're too good for your own good sometimes." he said and I kept quiet.Alpha Dominic, glancing at me with disdain, muttered, "She deserves whatever she got." He used a harsh word but quickly covered it up with another, attempting to soften the blow. "We'll try to resolve it."Orion, unyielding, declared, "No. We're leaving. If you can't treat Selene right, we can't work together. The alliance is over."Alpha Dominic, attempting to convince Orion, argued, "Orion, let's not make hasty decisions. We can handle this differently. Selene can stay with us, and we'll sort things out."I stood there just watching the exchange between them.Orion, firm in his stance, responded, "No, Dominic. This is non-negotiable. If Selene isn't treated right, the alliance means nothing."Alpha Dominic persisted, "Orion, think about the bigger picture. We can find a resolution."Orion, resolute, shook his head. "I won't compromise on this. We're leaving."After a tense exchange, Alpha Damon finally relented, recognizing the gravity of the situation. "Fine, Orion. We'll ensure Selene is treated with respect. Please reconsider."Orion, after a moment of contemplation, agreed, "We'll consider it, but the alliance is hanging by a thread. Treat Selene right, or it's over for good."Luca, his tone uncompromising, added, "Bitch, and that's on, period. No alliance, no compromise."Alpha Dominic gritted his teeth in anger and slowly nodded.Orion glared at Xander, his eyes filled with disdain. He stepped closer, grabbing Xander's neck, and spoke with a threatening tone, "Listen up, you piece of crap, let me make this crystal clear,The next time you try this crap, The next time you lay your filthy hands on Selene again, I swear to the moon goddess who made me, you won't live to see the next day,Capisce?" He said dangerously calm.Xander, visibly shaken, nodded in fear as Ryan's words hung heavily in the air. Orion, fueled by frustration, continued, "You messed with the wrong pack, and there won't be a second chance. Remember what I said, because I won't hesitate."Orion, his strong arms wrapped around me, pulled me away from the chaotic scene. He hugged me so tight, and in that moment, his concern was obvious and my heart fluttered."Are you hurt, Selene? Did anyone harm you?" he asked with genuine worry.Feeling the warmth of his embrace, I couldn't hold back the overwhelming emotions any longer. Tears streamed down my face as I broke down."Shh, it's okay. Let it out. You're safe now." He whispered soothingly.As I cried in his arms, Orion continued to comfort me, his words filled with sincerity. "You're too good for your own good, Selene. You don't have to endure all of this. Stand up for yourself. You're stronger than you think."Wiping away my tears, Orion gazed into my eyes. "You don't deserve to be treated like this. I'll always be here for you. No one should make you feel this way."In that moment, as our eyes met, I could feel a subtle shift in the air. He leaned in closer, his eyes focused on my lips and I leaned in closer too.SELENE WOLFE But just as our lips were about to meet, the sound of a throat clearing behind us shattered the moment. We jumped apart, our faces flushing with embarrassment as we turned around to see Luca standing there with a knowing smirk on his face looking absolutely thrilled. I couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance at the interruption, but I knew deep down I needed that interruption."Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You two were about to get it," Luca said, his tone filled with teasing amusement. I looked at him, and Orion shot him a piercing glare."Enjoying the view, Luca?" I quipped, trying to cover up my embarrassment with a sassy remark.Luca chuckled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, you have no idea," he teased, shooting a playful wink at Orion.Orion shot him another deadly glare, and Luca raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone," he said, backing away with a mischievous grin.As soon as Luca disappeared into the sha
ORION BLACKI stepped out of Selene's room, the weight of recent events still lingering in the air. As I began to walk, a lot was swirling in my head, especially after that almost-kiss. It wasn't just a quick moment, more like this big realization that stood out despite all the pack chaos. Thinking about Selene's lips being so close, it got me smiling like I was in a daydream. Honestly, it felt a bit silly, like when you're all warm and fuzzy inside.Attempting to shake off the grin, I took a few steps down the corridor, mentally scolding myself for indulging in such things. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I muttered, "Get a hold of yourself, Orion. There are more pressing matters at hand"Just then I saw Xander and Xavier standing and I immediately activated my cold face.As I approached Xander and Xavier, who were seemingly oblivious to the storm brewing within me."Xander, Xavier," I called out sharply as I approached them in the corridor. They turned to face me, their expressi
SELENE WOLFEAs Orion left the room, I let out a heavy sigh and stood up from my bed. I walked over to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush, squeezing some toothpaste onto it. As I brushed my teeth, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over me since Orion's departure. It was like a heavy weight on my shoulders, making it hard to breathe.After I finished brushing my teeth, I hesitated for a moment before deciding to take a cold bath. The icy water shocked my system, but I welcomed the sensation. It felt like it was washing away the lingering worries and fears that had been preying on my mind.Feeling refreshed, I dried off and made my way back to my bed. The events of the day played over and over in my mind as I lay down, pulling the covers up to my chin. I closed my eyes, hoping that sleep would find me soon and provide an escape from the chaos of my thoughts. My mind drifted as I daydreamed about a peaceful world where none of these worries existed. Where
SELENE WOLFEAs the doctor wrapped up her examination, she assured us that I needed rest and that my memory might gradually return. I was left alone with Orion and Luca, the weight of their worried gazes pressing down on me.Hours passed by, and I found myself drifting in and out of restless sleep. Shadows danced across the walls, adding an eerie quality to the room. It felt as though the darkness held secrets that lurked just beyond my grasp, taunting me with its enigmatic presence.In the depths of my troubled sleep, I felt a sudden shift in the atmosphere, a prickle of awareness that jolted me awake. My heart raced as I scanned the room, the sensation of being watched sending shivers down my spine.And that's when I saw them—sinister figures lurking in the shadows, their eyes gleaming with a malevolent light. My voice caught in my throat as I tried to scream, but no sound escaped. Fear coiled around me, threatening to suffocate me as the figures drew closer, their malevolent intent
SELENE WOLFE"Selene, are you okay?" I heard and turned around. His voice was hesitant, cautious.I turned to face Xavier, and saw the way his eyes flickered over my face, taking in the tears that I was trying so hard to hold back. "I'm fine, When did you get here?" I said, my voice cold and detached. I didn't want his concern, didn't want his pity.He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Just now, I'm sorry, Selene. We haven't been there for you, and I know we should have. It's just...it's been hard for us too, you know? Losing Mom and Dad, we've been struggling, and I know we haven't been the best siblings. But we've been trying, we really have."I felt the anger rising inside me, the resentment that had been building up for years. "Trying? Is that what you call it? You and Xander have been nothing but cruel to me since the day our parents died. You've treated me like a burden, like I'm nothing but an inconvenience to you both. Like I'm a murderer. And now you want to make excuses f
SELENE WOLFEAs I drifted off, I felt a sense of calm settle over me, and before I knew it, I was surrounded by a soft, warm glow. I found myself standing in a serene meadow, and to my surprise, my parents stood before me, their eyes filled with love and regret."Mom, Dad" I said, my eyes brimming with tears as I ran to hug them."Selene, we're so sorry," my mother said, her voice filled with emotion. "We love you, and we want you to know how special you are.""Why did you leave me? I needed you, and you were gone when I needed you the most." I said crying."I'm so sorry" My mom said."I miss you both so much. It hurts.""We miss you too baby."My father stepped forward, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Your destiny is about to unfold, my dear. You're special, our precious daughter. Your destiny is intertwined with something extraordinary, something beyond our understanding.""My destiny?" I asked.But they began to fade away, their voices becoming faint whispers in the wind."
SELENE WOLFE"What do you want?" I snapped, my voice tight with irritation.He just chuckled, his eyes glinting mischievously. "I'm just your guide, sweet Selene. Here to make sure you're not harmed." "Why would I be harmed?""Because, you my dear are one special one."I rolled my eyes, feeling both annoyed and slightly unnerved. "I don't need a guide" I shot back, lying on my bed.But he didn't relent, staying right by my side with a playful grin. "Come on, where's your sense of adventure? You never know what dangers could be lurking around the corner."I huffed in frustration, before standing up and walking out. I was feeling the eyes of the pack members on us as I made our way through the packhouse. They couldn't see him, of course. To them, I probably looked like I was arguing with thin air. And that just made me feel even more irritated.As I entered the garden, I could feel my agitation growing. "Why are you doing this? Why are you following me?" I demanded, trying to keep my vo
SELENE WOLFE"Selene, why are you crying?" I heard a voice say, and I turned to see Orion walking towards me, a concerned look on his face.I sat on the garden bench, tears streaming down my face as I tried to figure out where Mireya had disappeared to. I had been talking to her just a moment ago, and then she was gone. It didn't make any sense. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, feeling utterly lost and confused."Orion, Mireya was just here and now she's gone," I said, looking around frantically for any sign of her."Mireya? Who's Mireya?" Orion asked, furrowing his brows as he scanned the garden."She's a lady I was talking to just now. I don't understand how she disappeared so fast," I explained, feeling even more confused.Orion looked at me with a strange expression before sighing and shaking his head. "Selene, there's no one else here but us. Are you sure you're feeling alright?"I felt a pang of frustration at his words. "I know what I saw, Orion. She was here, I swear
