*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 here, just to tell me to take of my mask? You never fail to amaze me Alpha Duncan.""I'm not joking Selena, I'm tired of having you wear that damn mask all the time, if you don't take it off then I'll do so myself." He threatened."You wouldn't dare to do that!" I glared at him.He took slow strides towards me. "You want to dare me?" He questioned darkly.From the way he spoke, I could tell he meant it, if I don't take the mask off then he's going to do so himself."Fine then, I'm going to take it off." I reluctantly agreed.I slowly loosed the rope securing the mask at the back of my head and when I fully took it off, Duncan's eyes widen with shock.The look on his face made me want to burst into laughter.He came closer to me and caressed my cheek. "You're so beautiful." He gushed and I blushed at his words."I never said I was ugly." I scoffed."Why did you have to hide this beauty behind a mask?"I felt happy that he found me attractive, but I wasn't going to show that. "You've got what you wanted, you should leave now." I replied, but he shook his head."How can I possibly leave now that you've captured my heart." He said, staring at me with so much love in his eyes.I swallowed nothing, my heart was pounding so hard and I was afraid that he was going to hear the sound of my heart beating.Why do I feel this way due to his words? Before anything else could happen, I placed my hand on his since he was still caressing my face and I wanted to push him away, but he held my hand instead and before I knew it, his lips came crashing down on mine.For a moment I stood frozen, I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do or how to react, but after sometime, I finally relaxed and kissed him back.It was gentle, a simple press of my lips against his own, one which he easily responded to. He pulled me tighter into him as the kiss deepened, moving his arms so they now cradled my waist while he placed one hand on my head, the other in my hair.His tongue slipped gently past my lips, making me moan quietly. I felt myself melt slightly at his touch, feeling more alive with every moment I allowed myself to enjoy this.I couldn't believe that with each passing moment, I kept on wanting more of the kiss.Duncan then broke the kiss, panting softly as we both tried to catch our breath. I was starting to have second thoughts about this when he suddenly cupped my face once more and kissed me again.He kissed me passionately, and I could feel all the tension leaving my body, replaced by a pleasurable warmth. His lips moved slowly and expertly, like dancing through the rain.I reached out for him, placing both of my hands on his chest before bringing them up to rest behind his neck. I moved my hips slightly, pressing myself closer to his warm body.I wanted him, I needed him and I could tell Duncan clearly felt the same way. I could tell by his quickening breathing.This kiss wasn't lustful or needy. No, it felt different, sweeter.We continued to kiss, each taking the opportunity to deepen the kiss when our tongues met.I felt like I might faint with pleasure.Everything seemed so surreal and new at the moment, I just couldn't believe this was happening. We've never been this way with each other before, but here we are, kissing like a couple who haven't seen each other in years.I felt Duncan was holding himself back and wanted to pull away, but instead of pulling away completely, he pressed into me more aggressively, pushing his body even closer to mine.I moaned softly again and that elicited another response from Duncan, a low growl which echoed throughout the room.A smile spread across my face as I felt his cock harden beneath my stomach. I pushed back into him further, my own arousal growing stronger as the kiss intensified, I felt the knot tighten in my stomach, my thighs tightening against his leg.The need for sex only grew stronger and stronger, I was almost ready for it to explode out of me now.Duncan must have felt the need also as we continued to kiss and move against each other, he pulled back ever so slightly from me and cupped my cheek with one hand, staring down at me with a hungry look in his eyes.That look made me want to lose control over myself completely, give in to the desire I had felt earlier, but something stopped me.''This isn't right, this isn't right.'' I whispered.But still, there was something inside me that wouldn't let me break this fragile peace between us, no matter how much I craved closeness, comfort, no matter how badly I wanted him.For the first time, I was afraid, afraid of this thing blooming between us. No, I wasn't afraid, I was terrified."This isn't right! It's not right!" I chanted like a mantra in my head and then I remembered he and Lina.I pushed him away and slapped him hard across the face.Duncan's eyes widen with disbelief."Selena."*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
SELENA’S POVAlpha Duncan's kiss was a topic I wasn't ready to address. I tried to convince myself it was a mistake and should never happen again. Nevertheless, his presence still had a significant impact on me.Despite not wanting him as my mate, I couldn't resist being drawn to him. The idea of him with other women angered me, and I detested cheaters like him.I chose to remain in my room, allowing my thoughts to consume me. My mind was filled with questions. Why did I feel so torn about him? Did I still find myself attracted to him despite knowing he was deceitful? Was I deceiving myself or genuinely convinced I could reject him as my mate?Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, I decided to take a walk to clear my mind. As I approached the door, my hand hesitated. The thought of running into Alpha Duncan made me anxious, and I wasn't sure if I could handle that encounter.It was intimidating to think of confronting him after all the feelings he had sparked. I felt unprepar
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“Hey,” I said, causing her to startle.Her face scrunched up in irritation, and she shout the puzzle book with a snap.“What do you want?” She demanded, her voice cold.“Just checking on you,” I said. “You’ve been cooped up in here all day.” I said.“I’m fine,” she said, turning her back to me. “Now leave me alone.”she said coldly.I knew that I had hit a spot and needed to be careful of the next word to say.I tried a different method."Selena," I said softly. “Look, I know we’ve had our difference, but I want to make sure you’re okay. Can we just talk?”“Honestly, there is absolutely nothing that we need to talk about. I hate you and that will never change.”“While I’m not particularly fond of you, I think it’s best if we put our differences aside and try to coexist as cordially as possible. There’s no need to discuss the past and the kiss, and I’m not interested in arguing with you. Let’s move on.”She hesitated before looking at me, her expression cautious. "Alr
SELENA’S POVAlpha Duncan got up and headed towards the door. Then I spoke.“What could be the issue?” I asked.“I don’t know yet. I need to find out. Now, if you excuse me.” He said and was about to go out of the door when I asked if I could come?“Can I come too?” I asked looking at his face for approval.After a second of silence. He accepted.“Sure you can come along and so we both went to the coucil chamber.When we got there, I saw Muna there as well. Oh my blood was boiling as I hate her guts.“What’s she doing here?” Muna asked obviously not happy with my presence.“She is here to help.” Alpha Duncan replied.“Muna, please don't start this now. We have bigger things to deal with.” Alpha Duncan said, trying to keep the peace. “I need your input on what's going on with the pack.”Muna glared at me but kept her tongue in check. I could tell she was seething with anger, but I did my best to keep my cool.“What's the issue?” I asked, trying to sound as respectful as possible. I kne
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVAs I stood before the pack outside, I announced to them that we needed to go and investigate the attacks on the nearby town and possibly help them with some supplies.“Muna would be tagging along with us as we go and investigate the attacks in the nearby town. So the rest of you be on guard and keep the surrounding safe and if anyone dares to attack, kill without hesitation.” I ordered.“Yes Alpha!”But as soon as the words left my mouth, I noticed Selena’s piercing gaze fixed on me, demanding answers.“Oh boy!” My wolf said.“I think our mate is angry.”I walked back into the mansion and Selena stopped me before I could enter my room.“Where exactly are you going? She asked, her eyes filled with suspicion.“And why must it be Muna that should go with you?” she asked.I could sense jealousy in her tone but I tried not to reveal for I knew that it would only get her angry.“Muna has been a member of this pack longer than anyone and knows the ins and outs of the woods
SELENA’S POVAfter I left Alpha Duncan’s tent that night, I returned to my tent and sank down on my bed, my thought racing.That was the first time we’d had a real conversation, one that wasn’t just surface level banter. And I was surprised by how good it felt to talk to him like that.I thought about the way he stood before the pack, confident and commanding, and I felt a twinge of envy when he mentioned Muna joining him.I wondered why he needed Muna, and my suspicions were plain on my face. Was there something more going on between them?I thought about when I confronted him and asked him why Muna should accompany him trying to hide my envy. Was it obvious to him that I felt bad by it?Even though he explained, I found myself growing more and more frustrated. It wasn’t just the fact that I wasn’t allowed to accompany him, it was the fact that Muna was.It seemed like he was favoring her over me, and I couldn’t help but wonder why. I was supposed to be his Luna at least not yet, b
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVMy heart sank as I heard the words."What do you mean she's missing?" I asked, already on my feet and reaching for my coat."How long has she been gone?""No one has seen her since she left the campfire last night," the pack member said, his voice full of concern."We've been searching all morning, but we haven't found her.""I'll go look for her," I said, a knot of worry forming in my stomach. "I'm sure she's just gone for a walk and got turned around, but we need to find her."Just then Muna walked up to me and spoke“Alpha… I kinda said somethings to her last night.” She confessed.“What? What did you say to her Muna?” I asked my voice rising.“I told her that you’ll never choose her as your Luna because she is arrogant, selfish and annoying and that the only reason she is still in the pack is because she was chosen as your mate.” She confessed.“Why would you tell her such a thing Muna?” I said.Muna apologized to me as she lowered her gaze.“If I insulted her w
