Selena's PovI wasn’t exactly sure where I was going, but something about this place just didn’t feel right anymore. After watching Alpha Duncan kiss Muna, I told myself I wasn’t going back to him. A cheat like him doesn’t deserve someone like me.I thought we were beginning to click and start something new, but it was all a sham.The very thought of going back to Alpha Duncan’s pack sent shivers down my spine. He was always causing trouble, always saying what he doesn’t mean and it’s annoying!Yet, there were sometimes I found myself missing him. Maybe I would have waited and see if he was going to explain to me what happened between him and Muna. I always knew that Muna was so obsessed with him, but why give her more edge to continue.Why was I missing him? Perhaps it was merely his touch that lingered in my memory. The way we kissed the first time and even at the pack’s party was amazing. “Come on Selena, Snap out of it!” I told myself.It’s remarkable how emotions can deceive us
SELENA’S POVThe next day, I woke up and went to freshen up and went over to join my brother for breakfast.“Hey, brother!” I said.“Hey, sis, hope you slept well? Come and have breakfast with me.” he said.I sat down at the table, and a maid placed a plate of eggs and toast in front of me.She poured me a glass of orange juice, and I took a sip, savoring the sweetness.“What are your plans for today?” he asked, as he took a bite of his eggs.“I was thinking about going for a walk in around the pack house. A lot has changed since I left.” I said.“I thought we agreed to discuss about the reason you came back to the pack house.” Fred said.“Yeah, I think we should discuss. Because I’m really curious about what happened to Alpha David.” I said.“Okay then. Let’s eat our breakfast, then we will talk.” He said.So after breakfast, I followed Fred to his office and as we entered, he signaled me to seat on the seat close to him.“Okay, so let’s discuss Selena. Why are you here and not with
SELENA’S POVI considered my options, realizing that I had been walking for days without food and I was starting to feel weak. I though back to how I should have packed some supplies before leaving my brother’s pack, but there was no point in dwelling on the past.I needed to face the reality of my situation and accept the grim possibility that I could starve to death in the wilderness.Maybe this would be the end of my journey, a sad story about a lone wolf lost in the woods.But a spark of hope flickered inside me. Perhaps I could hunt for food to ease my hunger.I was walking through a forest, not sure where I was going or what I would find. I was on edge, not knowing if I might encounter someone who would cause me trouble. I was hungry, but I had to be careful.Just then a delicious scent of fresh bread was coming from somewhere, but I couldn’t tell where. It was like a beacon, drawing me in.I followed the scent, determined to know where the aroma is coming from.As I followed th
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“Have you heard anything from the search party?” I asked.“There is still no news Alpha. She must have gone really far.” Amy informed me.“Where the hell could she be?” I asked.“What happened? I mean she was looking for you and suddenly disappeared. Something definitely must have happened and I need you to tell me.” Amy said.“Well….I… kinda…. kissed…someone I shouldn’t have….” I stammered.“You did what?!” Amy exclaimed.“It wasn’t intentional. I mean she came at me and tried to kiss me so before I could push her away, I guess Selena saw us and then left the pack after it.” I explained.“You and I know that it was all Muna’s plan. To break you two up and then have you all to herself. You know that right?” Amy said.I sighed heavily…”I know… and I don’t know how I’m going to fix this.” I said.“Well, the first thing I would tell you is that you let Muna go and focus and finding and bringing back your mate. I mean, right now she might think you were playing her and
SELENA’S POVThe next day, as I descended the stairs, I heard the warm voice of old woman. “Good morning, young lady! I hope you had a pleasant night in my apartment.” she greeted me.Yes, ma’am, I did. I’ve really enjoyed your hospitality so far, and I’m incredibly grateful,” I said, expressing my appreciation.“Come come sit down right here. I’ll fix you some breakfast.” she said.“No, don’t you worry ma’am. I’ll be on my way. I don’t want to be a burden anymore. You have been so hospitable and I’m really grateful.” I said politely.“Nonsense, young lady.” she exclaimed, dismissing my concerns.“You’re not a burden, and I’m glad to have someone to enjoy my cooking.”“Thanks, Mrs….” I trailed off, realizing I didn’t know her name.“It’s Mrs. Anna Louis.” she introduced herself. She turned away to attend to something, and while I waited, my eyes fell upon the beautiful tulip, my favorite flowers.“They are absolutely beautiful.” I commented, unable to resist their charm.“well, I do h
SELENA’S POV"I have disregarded taking care of myself or doing the things I really desired because I have been so focused on helping my pack and my new pack.And now I learn that my partner is a wild playboy who engages in sex with everyone wearing a skirt. I cried out, "I can't stand him!”After carefully listening, Mrs. Anna enquired, "Okay... how did you two meet?"I sighed as I thought back on the interaction. "We met few months back when my pack leader that is like a father to me informed me that we are going to be organizing a party and an important guest would be coming to choose his mate.Although I didn't like him right away, my godfather argued that his presence was necessary.I had no concern. I hated the man. He decided to make me his mate at the party. I wasn’t thrilled by it because I hated his guts and I still do.But I couldn’t deny the mate bond and so even after I rejected him as my mate, he refused and said he must have me as his mate whether I liked it or not.“So
SELENA’S POVI lost my husband around two years ago, my dear. It was an incredibly tough experience, perhaps the most challenging I've ever encountered. All of a sudden, I found myself entirely alone in this world, as though I had lost everything. The feeling of emptiness was truly overwhelming, and there were instances when I considered giving up.A deep sigh escaped her lips, her attention now on transferring the eggs to another plate. I could perceive the intensity of her emotions as she carried on."He was my entire world, my beloved Patrick. In one instant, life was stable and foreseeable, and then, everything vanished. I couldn't help but speculate whether there existed an alternative course of action, something I might have overlooked." Mrs. Anna said., sadness in her eyes.I extended my hand, gently making contact with hers, offering a small comforting gesture."I can’t imagine how difficult it must have being for you, Mrs. Anna. The inability to be with the one you cherish
