SeleneI wasn't stupid.Something much more serious and intense had happened than they wanted me to believe.My mate's reaction was still bad even after I woke up. I had heard him beg the Goddess for me. So when I let my uncle hug me and everyone greet me, I looked closely at my mate when we were alone.“I don't want any lies,” I said, and Izan was surprised by my firm tone of voice. “What happened? And don't downplay anything. My uncle was terrified, and you looked like you were about to explode.”Izan sighed deeply, as if it weighed heavily on him, and that was the sign I needed to understand that I wasn't so far off about what was happening.My mate gave me a summary of everything, and as he gave me every detail, I felt more and more fragile, so all I could do was hold my stomach tightly in fear. I couldn't help but cry when I found out what Axel had done for me.The situation was shitty, but that's how I understood why Azael and the white wolf told me to put my pride aside and bel
Axel“I have bad news,” Amelie said as we explored the land of Crescent.Yasa wanted to check everything, so she was still exploring the territory as much as possible in search of the curse Clare had placed. That's why when we returned from the Eclipse Pack, we focused on helping her and verifying that everything was okay.That's why Amelie's words surprised me.“What's going on?” I asked immediately.“You must come with me to Eclipse right now. There's no time to explain,” she said, and that's when I realized that Zanders was a few feet away.I looked at Nick, and he nodded, giving me the go-ahead to leave, as did the others, especially Aria, who was standing near Yasa asking questions about the land.I took Amelie's hand, and in no time I was at the Eclipse Pack.“What's going on?” I asked, and then I saw Maurice approaching with a look of fear on his face.That could only mean one thing.“Selene was attacked,” Maurice said, and my brain exploded. “Someone left her a note, and it tu
Clare“What are you not telling me?” I asked Graco after the disaster at Eclipse and Crescent.I knew I was a pawn in his game, but I wasn't stupid.I had noticed that his interest in Selene had reached unprecedented levels.They wanted Selene and her baby for their blood. I found that out the hard way, but I wasn't stupid enough to think it was just a way to gain more power. I was missing something more important.“What do you mean?” Graco asked, frowning as he looked through some files.“The Belmonts' spoiled daughter is more than collateral damage; she's more than blood,” I said, and saw that Graco didn't flinch. “I'm missing something, and I want clear and concise answers.”Graco laughed and mocked me.“Sometimes I'm surprised you're still so naive,” he said with amusement. “I never reveal all my plans, especially not to a blood slave like you.”I took a deep breath, but I couldn't help unleashing energy in the room and sending everything flying through the air, including Graco hi
SeleneThe date of the council had finally been set. The Alpha and Moon of the Golden Pack called Izan to inform him. They had come to the Eclipse Pack when my aunt died. I didn't know how close they were to my aunt and uncle until they approached me with grief.The look of sorrow in their eyes was evident.“It's a surprise to finally meet you, but I'm sorry it's under these circumstances,” Luna said measuredly. “Solange never gave up looking for you, and I'm relieved to know that she finally found you and in the best of circumstances, with a good Alpha.”Those words shook me, and I nodded and thanked her for everything.They helped restrain my uncle and took the opportunity to have a private conversation with Izan. He explained the situation to them, and they decided to join the crusade, so the call announcing the date, time, and place did not surprise me.“When is it?” Gabrielle asked seriously.She had everything more than ready, but she wasn't going; she was staying at Eclipse to
IzanWhen Azael appeared in my dreams and told me that something bad was going to happen, I didn't really think about Solange's death. Of all the crazy things that were happening with the return of the vampire attacks, that never crossed my mind.“Selene is going to suffer in a very painful way,” Azael said, and I looked at him in disbelief. “I'm warning you because you can give her the peace she'll need at that moment. I want you to be alert, to be there for her, and to take care of her safety on a whole new level.”Those words should have been the ones that mattered most to me in that conversation, but it was the fact that Azael told me to help Axel stay in power at Crescent that really threw me off balance.And reality had hit us hard.“Is Selene still asleep?” my grandfather asked the next morning.“Yes,” I said sadly. “She woke up in the middle of a nightmare, so it took her a while to fall asleep again. It's best if she gets some rest.”My grandfather nodded and looked at me wit
SeleneSeeing my aunt on the brink of death felt like my worst fear come true.Of all the crazy things I had dreamed of, it never crossed my mind that she would be collateral damage. However, hearing my uncle scream as the vampires ran away gave me a small glimmer of reality.I dropped the gun, and when my uncle and Izan came in, I couldn't help but cry.“They came in here,” I said fearfully as Izan held me. “They came for me; they came for me.”Izan hugged me to calm me down, but when I saw my aunt's pallor become fixed, something inside me exploded. I went straight to her, and my uncle began whispering things I ignored as he invoked his bond to save her.But it was too late.“No,” I said in horror. “You can't die, Auntie, no.”My uncle ignored me and continued for minutes, but reality hit me like a whip right in the center of my chest. My uncle closed his eyes and suddenly screamed so loud that the house shook, then he hugged my aunt without caring about the blood and began to cry.
