THE CLASH

SELENA'S POV

"Yes, it's a very conducive environment to be in, but how would I sleep when my children are not with me? And I am very sure that they are not safe. Who will breastfeed them? They would cry all day." Overwhelmed by my emotions, tears filled my eyes, but I tried to hold myself. 

Pete helped me to wipe my years and rested my head on his chest as Tyler cleared his throat. 

"Let's start moving, because I have to return to my Luna. She is lonely." Tyler declared, Pete refused. 

"We can't move tonight, she can't go anywhere tonight. I suggest you go back to your lonely wife, while we stay here. We will leave very early tomorrow morning." Pete said, and moved from the place we were standing, taking me with him so that I could sit down. 

I could see the anger in Tyler's face, he doesn't mind dragging everyone along, by the way, does he even wish me to be alive? No! He has wanted me dead since he met that witch. Do I even care? I mean, why will I care now, I have my children and my mate. That's all that matters at this point. 

Tyler slowly walked to the seat and sat down. "Is he not going again?" I whispered to Pete. Pete said nothing, I could also feel his heart beat. 

After I told Pete about Tyler And everything he has done to me, he has this hatred for him that he couldn't even stand his presence. They knew each other even before I met Pete, maybe Tyler might be thinking Pete betrayed him. But, doesn't he deserve betrayal? 

A man who received a blessing from the moon goddess, but what did he do? He became a baby, and he couldn't make his own decisions. His parents make every decision in his life. 

Imagine a lion becoming a weak fowl, is that not ridiculous? I looked up and around the building. "This is where we were supposed to be and celebrating our lives." I said in my mind as my eyes began to close in slumber. 

"I already showed you guys the room you can make use of." Tyler's voice brought me back to reality.  

"Are you no longer going back to your wife?" Pete asked, his voice always active like he wants to fight a war. 

"You don't tell me what to do. I decide." 

Pete stood up and carried me to the room.

**********

"Are you still sleeping? Have you forgotten what today is?" Tyler's voice woke me up from outside the door. I struggled to open my eyes, Pete wasn't in the bed, the time was 4: am. I slept an hour ago, because my eyes opened when I remembered my kids might not be sleeping. 

I rushed out of the bed and went to wash my face and dress up. "Good morning, my Queen," I was shocked as Pete came inside the bathroom. I heard the door opening and I thought it was Tyler. 

"You didn't wake me up, knowing that it's already time for us to start moving." I said to him as I continued taking my bath. 

"I didn't want to disturb you. Remember, you didn't sleep early."

"Is my sleep more important to you than my kids? By the way, how did you know I slept late?" I questioned Pete as I left the bathroom, and he followed. 

"Why won't I know? Do you think I will sleep when the only person that gives me joy is not sleeping?" Pete confessed, and slowly walked up to me and held me from behind. 

"Not that I don't care about your kids, I care about them. But, I care more about you, my queen." 

As he said that, I left what I was doing and turned to face him. "Can you hear yourself? Why do I feel like you are being selfish here? You only care about what makes you happy, not what makes others happy. I have been observing you since my kids went missing."

Pete crossed his hands on my waist. "Why would you say a thing like that? I care about everyone, and you know that. I love you, that's why I care more about you."

"But I don't think you do love me as you claim. If the love is true, you would have been more concerned about what makes me happy than all this you are saying now." I said to him and removed his hands from my waist and started dressing up. 

"If I don't care about what makes you happy, would I be here?" His tone changed as he asked.

"No! I don't think you are here because of what makes me happy, rather you are here so that Tyler wouldn't come close to me." I said as I was walking out of the room. I jammed the door. 

"I hope you know what delay can cause us, right?" Tyler asked as I met him inside the sitting room. 

I didn't respond to him, I headed outside. I was already angry and wishing to tell Pete to return home and allow me to focus on finding my kids. "I wish I had the courage to do that. I wouldn't have wasted time doing it." I said to myself. 

I waited outside for them to come out, but I didn't see any of them. A few minutes later, I heard Pete's voice. " I have seen the man in you. You claim to be a king, but couldn't even protect your own mate." 

I can say from the way he sounded, they have been exchanging words inside. Tyler couldn't hold himself back as Pete said those words to him, he rushed Pete and released a heavy blow on his face. 

Pete fell on the ground and stood up with force. They started hitting each other, I couldn't go closer to them because I might get injured. 

"Look how you both are embarrassing yourselves. You better stop that now, we have more important things to do than that shit." I said, and Tyler's men rushed to separate them. 

On second thought, I thought Tyler would order his men to beat him up. 

"You've really crossed the line." Tyler said to Pete, breathing fast, same thing with Pete. 

"You crossed the so-called line, and anything you want, I will give double of it to you." Pete said to him as he moved to my side. 

Tyler with his hands directing his men, "lock this bastard up."
