Selena’s POV
Taken aback, I stood stunned for a moment, not entirely sure how to handle the situation. What the hell did a normal person do when someone almost twice your size was on his knees before you, begging for acceptance and entrance into your pack?!
Well, beat me...
But I was pretty sure I wasn’t doing it!
And it only got worse when Clyde, tears streaming down his face, also fell to his knees--- surprising even his mate! He looked up at me, eyes shimmering, and his hands began to move in a flurry of signs, his fingers trembling as he too began to beg.
Only one problem…
I didn’t understand a word of what he said!
But before I could stop him and ask his mate to translate, a deep voice ran out behind me, startling all of us.
“He’s begging you,” Joey said softly, his voice even despite the deep set of his brows. “Begging you to take them in.
Rain’s POVI watched the text I’d gotten from my mate and quickly texted her back, letting her know that I supported whatever she felt she needed to do to trust me again. No, I didn’t like that my mate was questioning her bodyguards, but I understood that for us to rebuild trust and have a future relationship, she needed confirmation that I was telling the truth.Still fucking sucked though!“Is that your mate?” Elijah asked impatiently, standing behind me and tapping his foot, waiting until I was done with my phone. He looked pissed and considering the report we’d just gotten, I couldn’t blame him. I just happened to prioritize my mate above this shit…“She’s asking the enforcers about my relationship with Katie,” I replied, ignoring his tone.“You worried about what they’ll tell her?” He asked, and my wolf didn’t like what he impli

Selena’s POV“We heard that it’s safe,” Xavier continued quickly, his sharp senses picking up the tension, and tried to explain: “That it protects omegas and wolf-less mates. That it’s--- different!” His voice softened as he glanced at Clyde, smiling reassuringly, but his voice remained worried and strained. “We’re looking for a place like that.”My eyes glanced between the two males. Xavier looked tense, looking ready to take on anyone who could be a threat to his mate. Clyde – on the other hand – only clung to his mate tightly, watching the wolves around him as if he expected them to jump on him and tear him apart at any second.My heart clenched.There was something so vulnerable and yet brave about them standing here, asking for something so simple as a place to stay. But this wasn’t the human word.This was a pack!Once a wer
Selena’s POV“Thank you,” I whispered low, tears stinging my eyes--- and yes, even Stella seemed to melt a little at that. Hell, at this rate, they might still win over the witch...“HEY! Why are you crying? Did we say something wrong----? AW!” Sean exclaimed, panicked at seeing my tears. But Joey was there and smacked him upside the head, growling something low that I couldn’t pick up on. And Sean hissed something back, rubbing the back of his neck…It was too funny not to laugh!“These are happy tears,” I laughed, drying them off. “I’m also pregnant! I see a chocolate commercial and I’m bawling my eyes out!”“Oh,” Sean exclaimed, relieved, while Joey let out a martyr’s sigh and rolled his eyes, probably regretting taking on this goof as his partner. But before Sean’s grinning face could say anything else, both men stiff
Selena’s POV“Hmm,” Stella hummed, tapping her chin while she was thinking. She then surprised me by turning towards the door and shouting:“HEY! Chip and Dale! Get in here!”Frowning, I wondered what the hell she was talking about when the door opened and my bodyguards came in.“Their names are Joey and Sean,” I corrected her exasperated. She hadn’t really warmed up to the whole werewolf situation and living in a pack. But any talk about her going back to the city or reassuring her that she wasn’t forced to live here – ignoring Elijah’s pout and whine – she wouldn’t budge.Where I was – she would be!But she did take some of her frustrations out on the few omegas and enforcers that Rain had left behind. Not by being cruel or demeaning towards them, but by making them feel slightly awkward, speechless or confused with her ou
Selena’s POV“Because you’ll be devastated to see Elijah again, right?” I teased and laughed when I saw the witch blush. Well, let’s just say that Rain and I hadn’t been the only ones “catching up”. Hell, the second we swapped clothes, we had a moment where we both caught a very distinct smell. Well, we exchanged glances and laughed until we almost broke, and then we decided never to mention it again!Still, I couldn’t help wondering...“How are things between you two?” I asked, worried about my best friend. I’d noticed that Elijah hadn’t claimed her, which was unusual for a wolf. But then again, she was human, so it might take more time for her to accept him – especially with her past!Besides, in the human world, being claimed was the equivalent of marrying the guy after the first date. It was probably really scary for her...But
