AxelI woke up with the urge to see Clare.There was nothing more imperative than seeing my baby's mother, so when she appeared, I couldn't help but smile. I had dreamed of her, of the fact that she needed me more than ever, so I had to come out of unconsciousness and fight for her.My wolf Mal growled in annoyance, as if he disagreed with me.“You're awake!” said Clare so excitedly that I laughed.She ran and jumped on the bed to hug me. I just held her and gave her lots of kisses on her face until I finally touched her belly. The baby, as if sensing me, kicked, and we both laughed.I was in a loop of happiness that I couldn't explain.I felt completely blissful to have her so close and that she was the mother of my heir. I had to get everything in order right away. Clare was to be my wife and my Moon as soon as possible.“Are you feeling all right?” asked Clare with obvious concern.“I'm fine,” I said calmly. “I feel better than ever.”Clare sighed in relief and hugged me tightly.A
ClareI was very uneasy.Eugene and Nick took all the power of the pack into their own hands, with the help of the council; they both established a way to calm the population and stopped the search for Selene. That fact irritated me.“Why did they stop looking for that damn murderess?” I questioned angrily that morning while having breakfast with them. “When Axel wakes up, he's going to be pissed because you guys didn't prosecute that damn woman like you were supposed to.”Eugene and Nick looked each other in the eye before looking at me seriously.“We're at a critical point, Clare; it's been weeks,” Nick said and shook his head. “We can't keep wasting resources on a wild-goose chase.”“At the very least you guys should send out respective general notifications to the various areas of our world,” I said quickly to hatch my plan. “Selene may have gone into hiding in some distant pack and is surely covering up her name so no one can identify her. You people need to keep tracking her dow
IzanI looked at the clock with a frown.Selene had gone to the bathroom, but it had been much longer than she usually took when we were out and about. I knew that pregnancy made her bladder bother her more than usual, but I hadn't expected her to take much longer than usual.Something's up, said my wolf, Gregory.How do you know that?I can feel it; Kate is very restless. Gregory said gruffly.I approached the bathroom and saw the group of vipers that had caused me trouble earlier coming out. They were laughing at something, and I had a very bad feeling. When they saw me, they all smiled with amusement.“Hello, Alpha,” said Lena, the daughter of one of the Alphas from the southern periphery of the East Zone. “You're looking sexier than ever today.”“That's true,” said the others.“Excuse me,” I said quickly and went into the bathroom.I looked for Selene but didn't see her outside.“Are you here, Selene?” I asked and got only silence.That ladies' room was the only one in the small m
SeleneIzan and I became inseparable.Since we returned from the ruins, the complicity between us increased. We had not kissed again in the same way we kissed that day; however, verifying how complementary our souls were made us not want to be away from each other.It's the pull of the bond urging you to claim each other, Kate said with amusement.It's not the right time.I think it is the most appropriate time. They both love each other madly, but they don't want to admit it because they are a pair of fools, Kate said seriously.I ignored my she-wolf and waited for Izan as I had every morning since we had gone to the ruins.I had acquired a little routine in just five days.I would go down to the kitchen early, he would come down later, and we would have breakfast outside and talk about the day's chores, and he would take me with him to the morning checks he did on some businesses to verify that people were okay. After that he would take me to the sanctuary, stay for an hour helping
SeleneAfter we kissed, something changed between us.I didn't know exactly what, but the fact that we checked our bond and listened to our wolves after we parted was a clear and decisive sign that we were always meant to be together.I had lived next to Axel for five years, and nothing I felt in all that time of our relationship compared to the emotion that a kiss with Izan generated in me. I couldn't help but compare, but it was clear that Izan and I had something uncommon within the extraordinary.Izan hugged me tightly, and I surrendered to the embrace with love.We didn't say a word, just took refuge in each other's embrace for several minutes. It was hard to break the tension of the moment.“Thank you for bringing me here,” I whispered slowly.Izan looked into my eyes devotedly and then gave me a chaste kiss on my forehead.“I'll show you the rest.”“I'd like to stay here for a while,” I said calmly. “May we?”Izan nodded.“Yes,” he said and walked toward the SUV. “Do you want t
SeleneAfter that conversation in which Izan opened his heart to me, the tension between us melted. After that I went to bed to sleep, and he went to do his work. What I didn't expect was that at dawn he was with a breakfast tray and a smile on his face.“Good morning,” Izan said, and I raised my eyebrows before yawning. “I have a plan for you today.”I frowned before sipping the tea he had kindly prepared for me.“Good morning,” I said after taking the first hot sip. “What do you have planned?”“Today we're going to take the day to clear your mind, so I'll take you to places you'll love about Eclipse, hidden corners that you can really enjoy,” Izan said. “You need calm and peace... You also need to remember that life is so much more than your fears.”I smiled and held out my hand.Izan sat down on the bed and didn't hesitate to kiss my hand in response.“Okay, give me a few minutes to shower, get dressed, and come downstairs,” I said and continued sipping my tea. “Do I need any speci
