I woke up with beads of hot sweats in straight lines on my forehead as I rubbed my eyes tiredly. The room was dark as I reached for the lamp by the bed stand, switching it on in an instant.I glanced at the time and it was a minute past four a.m. I felt my stomach growled for food because I had slept off without eating the night before and now I was hungry. I sighed deeply, remembering the bad dream I had. I was standing amidst a burning house but I couldn't figure out whose house it was. I remembered the intense heat and the sound of screams coming out from the house.With deep breath, I rubbed my forehead from the sweat. I hadn't had a bad dream in a long while now and it bothered me so much that I wondered what it means. I looked down at my stomach when it grumbled again and noticed all the bruises had vanished and I wasn't feeling any pain on my side ribs and headaches anymore. It has all vanished away. I was so hungry and decided to head down to the kitchen to find something
The morning started with me on the training field as a blow landed on my face for the second time, and I staggered backwards but didn't fall.It was a great improvement from yesterday that I could stand my ground and avoid falling after been hit. I held my breath as I held my arms up blocking the blow from reaching my face. I smiled on my progress but Christian gave me no word of encouragement as he lunged at me yet again. It training went for another two hours when he decided to stop.Christian stared at me for a while but on seeing him looking at me, I grinned wiping away the sweats that had gathered in straight long lines on my face. "You're starting to do well now." He said and I jumped in excitement. "Yes!" I yelled happily as I dancing around, but Christian only rolled his eyes. "You're not that good but you are starting to do well." He complimented yet again and I couldn't stop myself from showing how excited I was.I grinned at his words before standing up while Christian
When Christian had talked about backing away from a fight I knew I couldn't win, I had seen it as being a cowardly thing to do. But now that I was in the same situation, I knew that it was the smartest move to make to show how brave I am.It was too late now and the way Noir smirked at me promised death and Christian could do nothing about it now. Werewolves always honoured a duel between two people and I can not back out now."I'm going to beat you to a pulp." Noir said as I watch her crack her fingers and neck in one motion. Before I could find a word to respond to her, she lunged at me, tackling me to the ground immediately so I slammed my back against the hot sand. I raised my hand to shield my face just as Christian had told me but Noir broke into my wall of defense, twisting my arm in an awkward angle so I heard a pop inside my skin, the sound of my bones breaking as I find myself letting out a painful scream. She slammed her fist repeatedly into my face and I screamed once mo
Damon's POV.I watched Selene sleep and watching her steadily sends shiver waves through me. Her long dark lashes rested perfectly on her face and I suddenly wanted to run a thumb round her soft pink cheeks.She looked so peaceful and innocent while sleeping but I knew she was in a lot of pain right now. I looked down at her body, her left arm had been broken and was bound in a cast, even for a werewolf that would take time to heal after I had assisted. Her forehead and face had bandage covering up the wounds and a dark bruise formed under her right and left eyes. A gauze was wrapped over her torso and I knew underneath it were a series of bruises here and there. I looked down at our intertwined hands and sparks of emotions vibrated through me. I didn't know what to feel at that moment because, I felt too many emotions clouding my head all at once and I couldn't figure them out. I was worried about the injuries on her body because, they would take awhile for it to heal and this wo
I stepped out of the pack house leaving my family staring daggers behind me. The hot sun burn fire against my skin as if threatening me to return back to the park house. It was evening but the sun was yet to go down.I storm into the car garage before getting into my Rolls Royce and drove out of the pack house garage as I headed towards the direction of Noir's house. Our pack was one of the biggest so a few houses were about a mile from the pack house and I didn't have the patience to walk under the hot sun.I turned on the engines and slammed my feet hard on the brakes and soon, I was parked in front of Noir's home.Stepping out of the car and slamming my car door shut behind me, I walked into her porch and knocked on her door trice and impatiently.Her scent of rose filled my nose and I knew she was home.The door opened to reveal Noir in lacy lingerie, her green eyes glaring at me seductively and a smirk curled up her lips as she bit up her lower lip, her hand resting against the
Selene's POV.I woke up to the sun reflect against my face and my stomach grumble in hunger. I opened my eyes to see oceanic blue eyes staring back at me. Damon. He snapped out his gaze immediately as I regained consciousness of my surroundings and he shook his head as if shaking off bad thoughts. I knew he was thinking of me, he was worried and sad that I was badly injured, so I thought.His eyes said it all and even though he tried to hide it, I knew how he was feeling. That was another gift the moon goddess has given us, the power to feel connected to your mate and know what each other was feeling at a particular moment. I smiled softly as I tried to sit up a little only to feel so much pain and for the first time, I actually looked down at myself. My left arm had been broken and was bound in a cast. My forehead and face had plasters covering up the wounds I had suffered and I could feel a dark bruise forming under my both eye as well as a gauze was wrapped over my torso and
"And then you won't believe what Jane said next.." Jeremy laughed while Jane punched him on the arm, blushing in embarrassment. The twins, Jane and Jeremy, were keeping me company in my room as everyone else had gone about their daily routines.I was glad to have them around, especially because there hadn't been a dull moment with them all day. Jeremy was telling me about Jane's most embarrassing moment and it wasn't surprising that it had to do with Christian. I had noticed Jane stealing occasional glances a lot of times when he had come to see me for the training. Unfortunately, he had resumed teaching the young wolves how to fight after the incident with me and Noir. Each time he stepped into my room, Jane flushed in excitement to the tip of her ears and looked away after stealing glances at him, despite being very sharp and quick to voice out her opinions in reality, but in Christian's presence, she became quiet as a mouse.And Jeremy knew how to make her feel conscious about
Selene's POV."I'll get going now. Don't stress yourself too much." Damon said as he made to pack the empty noodle bowls and placed them in the paper bags before standing up from my bed. After he had fed me, he finally had the time to eat his and we talked the whole way. A few times, he choked when I said something funny and I slapped his back to calm him while laughing too. I could feel butterflies in the deep of my stomach by mere watching him eat and talking random things. He was handsome and smart at the same time and I couldn't stop drooling over his cuteness.And just as he was about leaving, a voice resounded in my head. My father was going to call today and I still hadn't figured out a lot about my mate's pack. "Hey!" I called out, stopping him on his way to the exit."What?" He calmly responded, turning back to me with a curious yet worried expression. "Do you want more noodles?"He asked yet again, probably thinking I wasn't filled with the noodles he fed me with.I smi
