A New Beginning The moon was bright in the night sky, shining over the pack’s territory. The scent of flowers filled the air, a nice scent soothing to the senses. All seemed at peace in Duncan’s pack, a stark contrast to the stormy events that had happened in recent times. Selena now Luna of the pack, stood on the balcony of their home, her eyes fixed on the stars. The scars of the past were slowly healing, but the memories of their trials were still fresh in her mind. A warm breeze ruffled her hair, and she placed a hand gently on her swollen belly. Life had taken an unexpected turn and Selena had found herself carrying a new life again, a symbol of hope and resilience. Duncan’s second child would soon grace the world with its presence, a testament to their enduring love. Inside the pack house, their daughter Muna slept soundly in her crib. Selena had named her after the brave Muna who sacrificed herself to save her because of a promise she had kept to Alpha Duncan. Duncan step
*Selena's POV*I and Alpha David were taking a walk around the palace when he suddenly brought up the topic of the mating ceremony."The mating ceremony will be held tonight. I apologize for the short notice, but as the Beta, I would love for you to ensure that nothing goes wrong," he said, and I nodded in agreement."You can trust me with that, Alpha," I assured him."Also, Alpha Duncan , the Lycan king, will be in attendance.""What!?" I blurted out, taken aback by the news. Alpha David looked at me with surprise."What's wrong, Selena? Why are you so shocked?" he asked, clearly confused.The mere thought of the Lycan king filled me with a deep hatred. He was a cruel and heartless man who didn't deserve to be the Lycan king. I couldn't believe he would be visiting our pack.The mating ceremony, held twice a year, attracted people from far and near, all hoping to find their mate. I suspected that was the reason Alpha Duncan would be attending since he had no mate. But if he were t
*Selena's POV*I didn't know what to expect when I said those words, but I definitely wasn't prepared to see him chuckle."Do you think I'll accept your rejection, Selena?""Why wouldn't you? It would be best for both of us. I don't want you, Alpha Duncan, and I'm determined to reject you countless times.""But I want you, Selena. I've been searching for you for a long time, and now that I've found you, I won't simply let you go. You're my mate, and the sooner you accept that, the better.""But I—""I don't care what you want," he interrupted, moving closer to me. He held my chin, ensuring I met his gaze."You're mine, Selena. You belong to me, and I won't let you go. I won't leave this pack without you. You'll come with me to where you truly belong," he said with a smirk.I slapped his hand away. "And if I refuse?" I questioned defiantly. "You can't force me into something I don't want.""If you refuse, be prepared to see your beloved pack reduced to ashes. I won't stop until I get
*Selena's POV*As we embarked on the journey to Duncan's pack, the hours seemed to stretch endlessly. The landscape outside the car window blurred into a hazy mix of colors, indicating the passing time. My mind drifted, lost in a windstorm of thoughts and emotions.I couldn't help but wonder how this decision would affect my life. Leaving behind everything I knew and journeying into the unknown was both frightening and exhilarating. My heart fluttered with a mix of eagerness and unease.Glancing at Duncan, who sat beside me, I couldn't read the thoughts behind his indifferent expression. We hadn't exchanged a single word since we set off, and the silence between us was both a blessing and a curse. It offered respite from his overbearing presence, but it also left me alone with my twisted thoughts.I pondered over the circumstances that led me here. The twist of fate that bound me to him as his mate felt like a cruel joke. How did I end up with a man who fills me with fury to no end? T
*Selena's POV*The next day, I wandered through the palace, exploring its corridors and rooms. I hoped to enjoy the grandeur and beauty of the place without Duncan's interference. However, no matter how hard I tried to avoid him, he persisted in pestering me. It was frustrating and irritating. I just wanted some peace and solitude, away from his constant presence. But it seemed like he had other plans, determined to make himself a nuisance in my life.One thing I also came to notice was the sexual relationship Duncan seems to share with the females here and it made me angry seeing them shamelessly flirting with him and him doing absolutely nothing about it.And as for me, each time they see me, they all kept looking at me like I was some sort of alien who fell from another planet, but I choose to ignore them instead and glared at anyone who gave me a look of disgust.Tired of all the drama, I went back to my room. I couldn't stop thinking about what was happening at the pack and how
*Selena's POV*It had been a whole week since I arrived here, and I did my best to avoid Lina's trouble. But if she wanted a fight, I was ready to stand up for myself.Duncan's naughty behavior kept getting worse with each passing day. Whenever he saw me, he would tease and make sexual comments, trying to get a reaction out of me. I tried my hardest to ignore him and not let his words affect me.Sitting near the window, I found comfort in watching the full moon shining brightly. It was peaceful until I heard a knock on my door, breaking the silence.I felt curious and cautious about who could be at the door. Should I answer it or ignore it? After a moment of hesitation, my curiosity won, and I answered."Come in." I said as I stood up and then Duncan walked in looking so serious."What do you want?""Take off you mask Selena, I've been asking you to do this but you keep refusing, take the damn thing off and let me see your face." He ordered."So that's the reason you came all the way
*ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV*She looked at me with anger in her eyes as she stood in front of me in her room.It was obvious that she wasn't someone that would give up easily. "I think it is time that you excuse yourself from my presence Alpha. If you think you can come in here and try to have your way with me as you do other girls in this mansion, you are way over your head mister." She said in an angry tone."I Selena Gomez Rain will never allow, Alpha Duncan have his way with me." She boldly declared, her voice firm and not shaky.I laughed, trying to keep it cool. "What do you mean to make use of you?" I asked. "You kissed me on the lips!" I yelled as she spoke back at me.And you gave a reply." In an effort to justify myself, I said.In addition, since you are my mate, you are mine to enjoy anytime I like.Selena's jaw clenched, and she retaliated,"You are so unwise to ever think that I would accept you as my partner, anytime you come here I feel really uncomfortable."I've explain
Alpha Duncan's PovAs I sat at the dining table, picking at my breakfast, I noticed the maid bustling around, attending to various tasks. With a hopeful tone, I casually inquired, “Hey, has Selena come for breakfast yet?”The maid paused for a moment for a moment, glancing at me with a slight frown before replying. “No, Alpha, I haven’t seen Miss Selena this morning. Shall I prepare a plate for her just in case?”I shrugged nonchalantly, trying to hide my disappointment. “No, that won’t be necessary. Thank you Bethany,” I replied.The maid gave a small curtsy and returned to her chores, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I couldn’t help but wonder where Selena was and why she hadn’t joined me for breakfast.Perhaps she was avoiding me, or maybe she was simply busy with other matters. Whatever the reason I felt a sense of unease settling over me.Why did I care so much if she had breakfast with us or not? It shouldn’t matter, right? But deep down, I knew it did matter, more than I
