Damon's POV."I, Damon Khal, Alpha of green moss pack, reject Selene of the west crescent pack as my mate." The words were out of my mouth even before I could stop it. But I didn't regret it either, I was bleeding inside, I was too hurt to start processing my words or emotions.I felt Selene stiffen, her blue eyes filled with tears as she watched me in disbelief. The metal of the necklace felt cold under my fingers and I turned away from her to Christian who stood just as shocked as Selene was."Escort her back to her pack." I said to him and walked away without minding a glance at her.I didn't hear a word from Selene as she tried to process what she just heard me say to her. I didn't turn to look at her and I started to feel guilty for rejecting her.What the hell was I thinking? I scolded myself but then Noir's words lingered in my head and I frowned.A pang of pain lacerated my heart and I staggered, stopping in my tracks as I clenched my fist. I was feeling so many emotions at
Selene's PovI stopped struggling. For the first time in a minute I took a deep breath. I couldn't feel, not understand what Damon had just said.Unimaginable pain filled me and I couldn't process it, but it created a deep hole in my heart.A tear finally crept out of my face. Damon had rejected me.He had rejected me as his mate.Another tear rolled down my cheeks as the image of us together in the few moments we've been together flashed across my eyes. That night we ate noodles and he fed me, the day we watched the stars together and tonight when he looked at my wolf like it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.Him confessing his live for me, his warm touch against my face trailing down my neck, my shoulders and arms. His soft lips against mine, taking control, dominating and filling me to the very core.Those things would be no more. His care and protection, those cold oceanic blue eyes that softened at the sight of me. Another tear ran down my cheeks, and another ye
Selene's POV.When I finally opened my eyes, it was because of the sounds of foots around the woods, the sun was almost up in the air as the heat burned against my skin and the small stones and sand which piece into my naked flesh. I was awake now but I couldn't feel anything. The sound of foots running closer did nothing to change my mood as their scent filled my nostrils, along with the familiar scents was my father and I knew what came next. But I did nothing to acknowledge their presence as they finally reached me.My father's grey eyes came in view. He was just like I had left him, except the morning beard that filled his jaws.His black hair had grown longer too, falling over his shoulders. His eyes were just as cold but this time, they were filled with amusement, and his lips turned into a smirk as he looked down at me.I said nothing as he reached for my face and ran those calloused fingers down my cheeks before grabbing my jaw roughly."I see you've been caught. But you'v
Damon's POV.I couldn't sleep.It's been three days and I still couldn't think straight. I was making mistakes, heading to different wrong directions and misdirecting the pack and the orders.I had never been dis co-ordinated in my life before but these past three days felt like I was no longer the person I used to be.Every thought of mine was filled with images of Selene. And when I tried to relive all of the good times we had spent together, the betrayal struck me hard like tons of bricks being thrown at me all at once.It was the fact that I had been hurt, but I thought I would have been able to get over it in less than twenty-four hours but I was wrong.It's been three times since that and I still couldn't think of anything other than her.Worse if everything, I couldn't sit down and just cry over it. I had work to do. The betrayal had struck the pack so hard and there was disorderliness around, a lot of people had lost respect for my judgement and they had started to doubt my r
Selene's PovThe sound of heavy footsteps woke me up from the usual nightmare I have been having for days and I had even lost count of how many times. My eyes opened and I was met with darkness once again. I didn't remember when last I had seen sunlight and I didn't even know if it was day nor night.All I knew was that it was always dark and cold, and the only thing I kept thinking of was Damon. He filled my mind every single moment and if I wasn't dreaming about him, I was imagining him here, holding me and loving me once more.The sound of the door opening had me struggling to look up but I was too tired to even raise a finger and I stayed the way I was.Someone must have come earlier because my hands were no more shackled above me, I was lying on the cold floor, close to the wall to offer some warmth but it was useless as I was naked.The door opened and I saw the feet of the person. But with the aura that filled the room, I knew who it was without seeing the face.This had to
Selene's POV.The sound of people moving about the tower outside made me feel uneasy. Sounds of orders, guns firing as if testing the weapons, swords clashing out of their shields.My father was a bit old fashioned so he rarely used modern weapons except if it was necessary.I laid on the floor unable to move, weak and tired, Damon crossed my mind too many times for me to count and I could only pray he had moved the pack somewhere else because my father's pack already had a strategic plan to defeat him.My mind wandered back to that night unconsciously, I hadn't remembered when I ever sent my father the location of the warehouse, it broke me that I hadn't been able to tell Damon that.The voices of men shouting filled the room once more and I worried about Damon the more. He probably wasn't expecting my father to raid his pack so soon. Everyone there was in danger and there was nothing I could do about it.I started to cry, I was truly a coward, everything I had learnt with Christian
The huge door separated me from the outside world, leaving me locked up in this cold dark cell room. But I had to get down, it was the first step that I had to conquer if I wanted to make it to Damon before my father attacked.I paced around the room, thinking of a way to get out of here, the windows were off limits as I was at the very top of the tower, there was no other way to escape than through the door.But how was I going to convince the guard outside my door to let me out? I slammed my fist against the wall when I couldn't think of anything.An idea popped in my head.I stepped back from the door and faced the wall opposite it before I knelt down, covering my face with my hands."Help! Help me please! There's something in here!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, still feeling pain in my throat from all the shouting.I heard the guard panic before peeping through the hole, his heart thumping loudly in his chest."What's wrong?" He asked worriedly and I faked a cry and my words.
"We can't leave, Selene." Lucy said and she glanced around nervously."We have to. Or else, we would die here. I have to warn Damon that my father's coming, he can kill him." "But would he believe you? I heard he sent you away from his pack." Lucy asked, rubbing her arms, as a cold breeze swept through."I have to try, or else, I'll never forgive myself. I'll regret it and it's betrayal once more." I said as I looked at the men outside, my father barked an order to rasca as I saw him nod before leaving."Selene, your father isn't who you think he is anymore. He plans to destroy the green moss Pack, he's cruel now, he killed a wolf who mistakenly stepped on him. He's not who he was before you left, and if you leave now, I'm sure he'll kill you." Lucy said worriedly, and I smiled sadly."I'd rather die than sit here and do nothing. I have to try. Damon is in danger and his pack too. For the first time Lucy, I felt accepted and loved. Guess what, I've shifted too. I've met my wolf." I
