IzanWhile fighting vampires, an explosion rocked us outside.Marco and Gabrielle went to investigate, and it turned out to be a fake aconite bomb; had it been a real one, it would have been a problem for any wolf within 20 yards. The good thing about it all is that we were able to apprehend 3 of the 12 vampires who broke into my house. I didn't know how they did it or the way they breached the magical wards, but I had an interrogation to do.Selene looked at me nervously as she touched her belly.“I know this is a little out of my bounds, but is there any chance that I could talk to the vampire or that I could watch the interrogation?” asked Selene with a tense body.“It's not in your best interest in your condition,” said my grandfather as he finished putting on the protective suit to clean up the remnants of the fake aconite bomb. “It may be harmful to you.”My grandfather was right.“I know, but something tells me to be close. I have a feeling the vampire is going to say something
SeleneEveryone was eating in harmony while telling Amelie all the things that had happened since the war. I laughed at the things the witch said.She had never seemed so open in Crescent as she did here.“How did you become a friend of this pack?” I asked curiously.“Izan's mother,” Amelie said tenderly. "When she was running her wandering art fair, she discovered my art and tried desperately to get me to give up one of my more personal paintings. I said no because I didn't really think it was a big deal, but she pushed as hard as she could. She brought me here, sought out teachers, and I met the wonderful family."I nodded and could sense a certain sadness in the atmosphere.“I can understand everything a little more now,” I said sincerely.“She taught us many things,” Zanders said. “She was an inspirational example to all of us.”I laughed as Jhosep cursed them through his teeth.“I've never wanted to be anyone's inspiration, especially with my work or my powers,” Amelie said and s
SeleneHearing my name from Amelie's mouth was incredible.Izan immediately approached me, and she immediately raised her eyes as she saw his reaction, then sniffed undisguisedly, as she alone would be able to do, and opened her eyes wide. Disbelief was not a trait that a sorceress as astute as she was showed too much. In fact, I think it was the first time I had ever seen her with an expression akin to stupefaction.“Impossible,” Amelie whispered. “I was at the wedding of you and Axel; I blessed them and predicted a happy life for them.”I smiled very sadly.“Axel cheated on me, traded me for another woman, rejected me and threw me away for that woman, and then she made a whole scene to make the pack council believe that I had tried to poison her,” I said painfully. “I ran as far as I could, and fate brought me here, into the arms of my second mate.”Amelie approached in fear and then sniffed so strongly that I was frightened for a moment.“I smell it, the bond between you,” she said
IzanCalming Selene down was a process.She was devastated, and I felt very guilty about what had happened.I had to take her home to sleep so she could relax a bit. I felt her heartbeat was very fast, which could alter her blood pressure and affect the baby. Getting her to sleep wasn't easy either, but eventually she ended up asleep in our bed.You had to tell her the truth, Sirhan said in annoyance.The wolf had suffered so much from seeing Selene so badly that he was upset with me. For him, there were no legitimate reasons to hide the truth from our mate, and maybe he was right. The problem was that I could not put her through the suffering of the news and have her alter her behavior for me.I wanted Selene to enjoy it with me as if nothing.That was what I really wanted from life: to enjoy myself as if nothing had happened and finally die in peace with myself.It was a selfish thing to do, I knew, but it was something I needed.I was in my office for hours until my grandfather cam
SeleneThe very idea that my aunt and uncle could be close to me was incredible.And I appreciated that more than anything in the world, so I didn't hesitate to hug Izan with tears in my eyes. This time, his action was to smile as he understood my attitude. The reality was that I had become much more tearful than usual. Everything was getting the better of me.“It's going to be okay,” Izan said.“You need to give birth at once,” Gabrielle said with amusement. “You're very sensitive.”I hate to admit it, but she's right, Kate said with humor.I nodded but watched as Marco scowled at her.I didn't take Gabrielle's comment the wrong way; I just smiled, and she nodded. I had learned to understand her heavy humor a bit; it was, to some extent, witty and resolute. That's why I didn't take anything she said personally; ever since we cleared things up, I knew she was the kind of friend I needed.“Well, let's eat,” Marco said to settle the matter, and we went to the meeting room.We all ate cal
IzanI had returned from work to find Selene asleep in bed, a chemistry book open in her hand. She had spent days obsessively researching the uses of certain chemical compounds. She was determined to save me from the curse, and every time I told her that it was best for her to pause a bit, she looked at me earnestly.“The curse never waits,” Selene said so firmly it shook me.I had mixed feelings about it.I adored Selene; she was the perfect woman for me. She complemented me on every possible level. The fact that we had unbridled sex made us make love. For me, it was a complete before and after in our relationship. But I was frustrated that I couldn't claim her.And the most shocking thing is that despite the short time we had together, she wants to be mine.I felt blissful, and at the same time I felt unworthy of her.Let her look for the cure; if there is one thing she is capable of doing, it is making us proud, Sirhan said.My beast was right, but a part of me just wanted her to b
