SeleneThe mother grabbed the young girlâs hands looking straight into her eyes âYou have to leave okay, make a promise to mummy that you will lay low and never show yourself â The lady spoke to the young girl.The young girl's eyes welled up in tears âWhat about you and daddy?â She asked, her voice cracking.The mother wiped her tears harshly, saying âWe will be fine, now promise meâThe young girl nodded, her voice barely above a whisper âI promiseâ âDo not let them see what you have, goâ The mother pushed her gently into a truck as she watched in tears as the truck disappeared from her sight.***********âNow is not the time, you have to go backâ A voice yelled, as a force pushed me toward the dark tunnelâNoâ I screamed, struggling to break free from the force.âNow is not the time, you have secrets and truth to uncoverâ The voice insisted.âNoooooâ I screamed, sitting up on my bed.I stared around trying to blink myself out of confusion, I was back in my room in the pack house.
DamianThe war at my pack ended with a few warriors dead and some injured, but I was glad that we outnumbered them.My heart still felt uneasy because Selene had been lying unconscious for two days now. I am mad and equally furious that she let herself get hit by a dangerous arrow.Today, we conducted a burial rite for all the warriors who died, as we headed inside the pack after the rites were done. âI have got some information, concerning the war,â Adrain said, his voice low and serious.âLet's talk in my officeâ I motioned.âAn insider?â I asked, my eyes widening in shock.Adrain nodded, his expression grim âYes, there seems to be a traitor amongst usâI felt a wave of anger wash over me âI have been kind and lenient to the members of this pack who would want to cause a war amongst us and for what reason? â I demanded, my voice raising.âDamian people inherit enemies without their knowledge and sometimes the past comes back to haunt usâ Adrain grunted.I took a deep breath, composi
SeleneI spent the entire afternoon searching for the girl who told me her mother was a half-witch. It felt like a situation where you were looking for something that could be a dead end because I didn't have her name nor did I know any of her friends.While I was searching and asking around for her, it felt as if I was being watched or followed but when I glanced around I found nothing unusual.âWeirdâ I muttered to myself, shaking off the feeling.After a fruitless search, I trudged back to my room feeling frustrated and defeated.I closed the door behind me and let out a deep sigh of relief when I heard âWhere are you coming from?â A deep voice asked, making me jump.I spun around to face Alpha Damian, my heart racing with surprise. âIs he planning to give me a heartache?â I thought, eyeing him.âAlpha, what brings you to my room?â I asked calmly, walking towards him.He sized me up before asking âWhere have you been?â My heart leaped with anxiety.I smiled âOutside, receiving fres
Damian Beep BeepI jolted awake to the persistent beeping sound, I darted my eyes around my heart beating with anticipation. Suddenly it hit me; someone was trying to break into that room.I carefully removed myself from Olivia who was deep in her sleep and made my way to the top floor, my senses on high alert.As I turned to the side my eyes narrowed, Selene was standing in front of the door trying to open it âWhat are you doing there?â I asked, my voice cold and menacing.She flinched, her eyes darting towards me with a mixture of fear and confidence âI want to see what's behind this doorâ She declared, her voice steady despite the tremble in her hands.I felt a surge of anger at her audacity âDid you lose any of your property?â I asked, my voice laced with sarcasm.Her eyes flashed with determination âI deserve to know what is behind that door because I know that is the main reason I was bought by youâ She insisted, crossing her hands defensively.I felt a pang of unease at her wo
SeleneI gazed at him viciously âThis was your plan all alongâ I accused tears streaming down my face.âWhat have I done to deserve this?â I asked, my voice cracked.âGuards, take her back to the dungeonâ He instructed. He turned and left the room, leaving me to be dragged away.I landed hard on the cold floor, the door slamming shut behind me. It dawned on me that Lucien might hate me now for trying to exploit information from him.The quest to find my identity has landed me in more mess than I can imagine but I am even more determined.*******I don't know how long I have been here, all I know is that food and water were brought to me at intervals.I sighed, muttering âHow long does that man want to lock me up?â I felt stagnant. I should have gotten a clue on how to figure out my identity by now.I heard a clunk sound and the door opened. I paid no attention because I thought it was the guards bringing food.But the constant feeling of being stared at made me look up to the intruder
SeleneThe tension around me increased, I ran in different directions looking for the person that had thrown the stone but nobody looked like it. I was sweating and breathing heavily at this point âWhat am I even doing?â I mumbled, rubbing my forehead in frustration.Alpha Damianâs voice jolted me out of my reverie âWhat are you doing here?â My stomach churned as I turned towards him.I meet his curious gaze â IâĶI thought I saw somethingâ I whispered.His gaze lingered on me for a while before saying âYou should learn to mind your business, it will save you from a whole lotâ I nodded as he turned and headed inside. I glanced around cautiously before heading back inside.I took my dinner, yet again it was little. I ate it regardless before falling into a deep slumber my tiredness giving away.I packed my hair into a messy bun, the note on the table drew my attention, and my thoughts lingered back to what was written inside it.I do not want to venture my thoughts into it because why
SeleneRated 18I forced a nervous smile âHelp me with what?â I asked, my heart beating rapidly.âYour Identityâ Octavia replied, her gaze piercingI feigned shock, frowning âWhat Identity?â I asked, sounding nonchalant.She sighed, concern and frustration lingering on her face âSelene, I might be new to this pack but I am aware of some thingsâ She said.My heart skipped a bit as I asked âWhat do you know?â She leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper âI do not know what it is exactly, but I know, there is something beyond what you show usâ âIâĶIâ She interrupted âIt's okay if you don't want to share it with me, but you don't have to deny it,â She said, her expression gentle.âOctavia, I honestly don't know where you are getting at but I appreciate you for looking out for me,â I said with a smile on my face.She nodded âAlright finish up your meal, I will leave you to it,â She said before heading out.I stared at the food before pushing it aside. I am not certain who is genuinely
DamianI could sense Selene's scent from here, her body also gave her away that she was in heat.While inside my room, my mind went wild on what she could be doing. Olivia was here and if I left she would be suspicious of me.I somehow got her to sleep and slowly I left the room. I placed a knock on Seleneâs door but got no response.I clicked the doorknob, surprisingly the door creaked open. I walked in and met an empty room. My mind raced on where she could be and whom she was with. I wanted to leave when my eyes caught the slightly opened bathroom door.I pushed the door slowly and found her deep asleep inside the bathtub.My eyes trailed her body which was barely covered with foamy water. Except for the slight frown on her face, she looked peaceful.I tried not to make any noise as I observed her, our relationship was more like a like-and-hate relationship but other than that she was here for a reason.I leaned towards her, trailing her finger down her bare neck, she flinched as
Author's POVSelene screamed as she was thrown into a vehicle, she held her stomach being protective of it.She couldn't see where she was but she could hear an engine starting up and the car moving.She tried to scream again but a slap was passed across her face before her mouth was tied up.She wept silently and prayed to the moon goddess that nothing would happen to her and her unborn child.Shortly the car stopped and she was shoved out of the car. The air hit her as she was dragged into a place and pushed onto a chair before she was tied up.Her mouth was untied and she screamed, her tears falling freely âWho are you people and what do you want?â She asked, trembling.âYou have hurt one of us and you will pay for itâ She heard the rough voice of a stranger.A cold chill ran down her spine.************CRIMSON MOON PACKDamian scanned around for any sight of Selene but couldn't find her. His worry grew increasingly. âLucien, have you seen Selene?â He asked, his brows scrunched up
SeleneI dressed up quickly and headed back to the office. âWhere is she?â I asked, locking my gaze on Adrian.He coughed, gazing at my hair âWhat?â I asked, darting my eyes to Damian whose face was cast downwards.âYour hair looks disheveled,â He muttered.I widened my eyes in embarrassment running back to the bathroom to fix myself.I scratched my neck, after I stepped back inside âWe were doing a pillow fight, I told him it was a silly thing to doâ I whined, smiling nervously.He chuckled, âYes, I understand. Dorathus is in the dungeonâ He said.I sighed in relief as he changed the topic âWe will see them tomorrowâ Damian said.After he left, I sat on the couch slamming my face âAdrain will think I am a pervertâ I groaned.Damian chuckled âThis is what normal couples do, it's nothing to be ashamed ofâ He coaxed.I nodded, remembering why I came here in the first place âHave you thought about Axel?â I asked.He sighed, settling on his seat âAlthough I am having a double mind, we wil
SeleneMy eyes were wide with shock at the people she just mentioned. I chuckled, âThis is a joke. It can't be true right?â I asked, my heart beating rapidly.âIt's the truth, Dorathus has always been my messenger. All those strange letters you got were us throwing a bait, Damian was taking too much time, I had to take overâ She snapped.I gasped âOh my goodness,â I said, my voice barely audible.âWolftamer thinks he can back down after we have gone this far. Since he went to that mountain he has become off and then you visited him and charmed himâ She screamed.âHe has refused to supply me the concoctions anymore claiming that you are innocent and he can't bring himself to harm youâ She snarled.âSo you weren't sick, all this was a lie to gain power and rule. For over twelve years you laid in a vegetative state for this?â Damian asked.âI don't care if I have to stay twenty-five years as long as I achieve what I want,â She screamed.âI will not let you harm this pack and its people b
DamianâI..I, Damian what are you doing here?â My mother asked, smiling nervously.My eyes moved to the supposed maid that poisoned Selene before I gazed scornfully at my mother âHave them all thrown into the dungeon immediatelyâ I yelled.âYou can't do that, I am your mother!!!â My mom yelled as she was dragged away.I sat down in confusion, I always thought my motherâs dislike for Selene was because I never told her about Selene while she was in a vegetative state. But plotting with Olivia to eliminate my child, her grandchild is unbelievable.I stood up lazily and trudged to my chamber, when I got in Selene was already sleeping on the couch with a slice of pizza in her hands.Her light snores were beautiful, I chuckled, dropping the bottles of water on the table.I tried to take away the pizza but she held onto them tightly. I succeeded in taking the pizza away from her before carrying her to the bed.I slept off while thinking of how to handle this situation and how to even break
DamianMy mind has been uneasy since Selene went to meet Axel but I decided to act cool with the thought that he wouldn't harm her.I went to check up on Lucien who I bestowed with the responsibility of handling Silver Crescent pack members.âThey are blending in and settling down very well, you don't have to worry about them causing problems for the packâ He assured.I nodded and headed to my office to attend to my pending work. I was engrossed in a file when the door opened.I raised my head and found Selene walking in, I smiled, dropping my pen. âYou are back?â I asked. She nodded, âHmm, a maid told me you were in a meeting,â She said.I raised my brows, frowning âWhat maid?â I asked.She let out a nervous laugh âThe one you sent to serve me juiceâ She replied.I narrowed my gaze, saying âI didn't send anyone to serve you juiceâHer face contoured and she ran to the bathroom âSelene!!â I called after her, my eyes widening with shock.There was blood on the sink; she was vomiting b
SeleneI felt trapped in this darkness, I couldn't move or even blink. My body remained motionless.I could hear voices of people both incoherent voices and audible voices but the one that stood out to me the most was Damianâs voice.He was constantly talking to me, filling me in on how his day went, that he was sorry for keeping a secret from me, and then how our unborn child was faring.I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't. I heard Lyra pleading with me not to give up. I tried and I kept pushing but the pain was too overwhelming.And then I felt my hands move, gradually my eyes blinked and I saw a ray of hope. I fluttered my eyes adjusting it with the light.My eyes met a white ceiling, it moved darting around the room, and there was no one in the room. I was in Damianâs chamber.My hands instinctively went to my stomach.âI am glad I didn't lose youâ I whispered.Slowly, I sat up and then I took a deep breath, attempting to stand up. After a successful attempt, I walked carefully
DamianI gazed painfully at Selene as she gradually slipped away, that idiot injected her with wolf's bane, a ton of it.âDrive fasterâ I yelled, tears rolling down my chin. Immediately our pack came into view, I pushed the door and ran to the packâs hospital.âGet Doctor Ralph for meâ I yelled to one of the nurses.I placed her on the bed and rolled her to the theatre âAlpha you have to wait hereâ The nurse urged.I peeled my hands away from the bed, stepping back. The light came on and for the first time, I prayed to the moon goddess to save her and our unborn child.Adrian rushed in immediately, âDamian how is she?â He asked.I shook my head, âShe is still inside the theatreâ I whispered, wiping my tears.I felt a cold run down my spine when I remembered that if I had been an inch late, Selene would have died.Hours passed and I hadn't heard any news from the doctor, the nurses ran out and rushed back at intervals but none said a word.Lucien walked in, patting my shoulder âDamian
DamianâSelene, Selene!!â I called out, chasing after her but Lucien held my hands.âThat's enough Damian, you have done more harm than good. I told you not to hurt her again but you didn't listenâ He snapped.I pinched the bridge of my nose âAm I supposed to pay for the sins of my father?â I asked.âThis is not about paying for your father's sin. The moment you realize that you were in love with her, the least you could do was tell her the truthâ He yelled.âThe truth was more important than mating her or making her as your Luna talk more of healing your mother who doesn't even approve of herâ He snapped.He sighed âDamian, she didn't have to find out this way, this is the highest level of betrayal,â He said and walked off.I sat on the couch, Agatha warned me but I refused. âHow was I supposed to tell Selene the truth?â I thought.The door burst open and Adrain rushed in âWhat happened?â He asked.I explained everything that happened to him, and he sat on the floor âDamian, our past
SeleneI titled my head âFancy seeing you hereâ I said, darting my eyes around to be sure I was safe.âI came alone, no need to be scared,â He said, getting close.âKeep your distanceâ I warned, eyeing him.He raised his hands in surrender âOkayââWhat are you doing in this area that, too close to the Crimson Moon pack?â I asked.âI have been here for days trying to get past the borders to meet you but I can't,â He said.âIt's called security and if I may ask, why are you looking for me?â I asked, gazing suspiciously at him.âTo seek forgivenessâ He muttered.I chuckled deeply, âIs that a word?â I askedShock passed through his eyes âI know I and Imogen have wronged you but this is me apologizing for my misdeedâ He said.I laughed âI have heard that word a lot, it's now sounding like a broken record,â I said, gazing at him furiously.âYou know, I am not even angry at you besides you have every right to reject me but Imogen, a lady I called my best friend, that's despicableâ I half yel
