CHAPTER 12
A narrow gravel path led to a tall, rusty metal gate that doesn't count as any sort of solid barrier. Selena and Orion got off to open the gates for the jeep to pass. A vast piece of land expands till the foot of sky-high thick forest–fencing and filtering just the right amount of sunshine for vegetations to thrive.
Sparrows shoot into fireworks when Selena's small foot trampled through their feeding ground. The monster even reached out to catch a butterfly and puckered once she failed. An old lady with owl glasses sat backing the dingy door, knitting in her rocking chair. The small, white wooden house anchored in the middle of flower gardens, vegetable patches, and fruit trees must have been her idea. A thin and thick woman crouched on the ground, pulling weeds and another picking tomatoes into her apron. Grandma Genesis narrowed her eyes at the fast-approaching figure–full speed ahead.

Gold trimmed thick vintage novel snapped to shut. Zaden slipped them back into a line of other, unreadable novels. They have been rampaging Selena’s mother, Daisy’s possession. Selena herself crawled under the bed, going through some boxes stored there. Piles of books, articles and her vintage dresses pile up on the cream bedsheet. A sneeze smacked a dose of the reality of how much dust has hidden beneath these things. Selena slipped out and sat on the floor, rubbing her nose and crossed legs in frustration. Her hair messed up and she swept it away from her face. Aaron’s oversized hoodie, ¾ leggings, and a white converse shoe had never looked more attractive before.“I don’t think there is anything here,” she said to Orion who was going through Daisy’s bed-foot chest. He plopped himself to the ground as if he agrees with Selena. Both their eyes darted back to Zaden, like a two-year-ol
SINFUL LOVE CHAPTER 14
There was another thin wooden slab in the chest box. It was written in a foreign language with an ancient vibe. After some discussion, they decide to show it to the elderlies in the village but Selena was against it. She didn’t want to let go of her mother’s possession. So, they took some photographs and sent them to Makeala and she would have to hike up and down the mountain to print out those photos. There were also some blood reports of Selena. Her blood was matched as a distant relative to an unknown DNA provided by Daisy but there was no clue of who it was. Apparently, Daisy was doing some digging on her own, mainly concerning Selena and their ancestors. She must have speculated about them being descendent of werewolves but never told anyone about it. It was about 5 pm and Selena gathered the rest“Look, yes, apparently my mom thinks that I am a werewolf but we hav

“I’m sorry... I kissed her neck… I’m really sorry” fear dripped in every word and his voice trembled. Zaden escalated to a whole new level of anger in a snap and threw him across the room, hitting hard on the wall. A crack on the brown surface resonates through the house. He strode over, grabbed his neck. Blue veins sprawl through his knuckles as his full strength constrict Orion’s throat. Clamors and panic muttered across the room as everyone tried to stop him–even Grandpa Kai was ignored. He is possessed by his own disposition. The thought of another man kissing her is revolting and the sight of Orion turning pale in his hands is the cure. The loud thud downstairs reached Selena and she took control of her anger. Muffled chaos pushed her feet to rush downstairs. She froze at the landing. Orion– he is turning blue.&

The morning after rose with much more awkwardness than the day before. The 3 of them could hardly look at each other during breakfast while Aaron and Leonardo kept shuffling between them, passing on plates and cups. Thankfully, Zaden had a meeting with one of his managers and left for the city. Orion practically ran away, keeping his distance from Selena. Every time he gets closer to her, her taste comes back to his tongue–futile consequences of yesterday.Eventually, they bumped against each other. She crossed her hands over her chest and leaned over the door frame, pursing her lips and raising her eyebrow. It made him fidget his hands and rub his neck. A quiet moment raised the thickness in the air even more. He understands that eventually, he has to face her.“Look, I’m sorry for the way I behaved yesterday. Both times… I don’t know what got into me” his brain
SINFUL LOVE CHAPTER 17
“Wake up, sleepyhead…” Zaden blinked his eye at the sweet, yet assaulting voice. The usual coldness that comes with nightfall had dissipated with the sun, beaming on his back. He looked around to see Selena sitting at his feet. “What time is it?” he asked in a husky low voice. “About half-past 12 pm. Why?” Zaden snapped up to sit.“How come no one woke me up?”“Who would want to mess up with a sleeping alpha?” she frowned coldly. Makeala sent an email to Selena of the translated letter and Selena got it printed out. They gathered around and sat down as Grandpa Kai started to read the printout.I am in pain, in great pain. I can feel my baby dying, his soul slipping off my grip every second. His heartbeat slowed down to almost none.It

She turned around and howled, stomping towards the woods. It doesn’t mean she has accepted them but it also doesn’t mean she rejected or intimidated by them. The other 3 howled, delighted, and followed her to the woods. Her palms wholly embrace the mother earth with each step. Her eyes looked forward in full confidence, ignoring the other wolves around her that kept stealing glances at her. The wind rippled through her fur, seeping cold into the bone. The soft cushion of the forest floor imprinted by her paws and the scent of grass mixed with dirt fused into the creaks of her toes. Full moon and the scattered stars on pitch-black canvas, not forgetting the chirps of the cricket, croaks of the frogs, slither of the snake, chittering of the mouse backing the soft whoosh of breeze–the sound of nature around her– she took in everything nature has to offer. &
SINFUL LOVE CHAPTER 19
A single ray of sun sneaked through the curtains to harass Selena’s face. Her once pitch-black vision is now reddened. She slowly blinked open her eyes. Another morning–only today, she is a werewolf. She sat up on Daisy’s bed, and stretched her body till her limbs are weak and loose, demotivating her to take a bath. After a forced, long hot shower and dressing up in blue jeans and a black t-shirt, she went downstairs. At those last steps, a series of doors shut made her wonder what is happening outside. She strolled over to the front door to see Orion loading luggage and they are all dressed up casually, ready to leave. Climate took a drastic change as dark clouds gathered, about to pour down any minute now. Selena’s heartbeat shot up, accompanied by her widening eyes. Zaden's words came around, stabbing her in the mid-chest.'You are to go o
SINFUL LOVE CHAPTER 20
Weeks have gone by–3 weeks and 2 days to be precise. Nothing has changed much for the 3 of them. Selena didn’t attend her graduation. She took the certificate from Dean Pete and continued working at Wildlife Research Centre. Her mood doesn’t seem to have changed much. Every day, she will go to work, come back home, eat and sleep–living a robotic life despite her friend's effort to cheer her up. The career that she loved once doesn’t give her joy anymore. It seems like the moment Grandpa Kai asked her the promise, her life fell apart and a dark curse engulfed her. It wasn’t any better at Mount Manuka. Zaden and Orion rarely talked and Makeala became the second beta to substitute her big brother during his absence. Zaden kept himself locked up in the second-floor room most of the time. No one is allowed into the room and cleaning is prohibited. Most of his essential belong
