LOGINSELENA'S P.O.V "Are you okay?" I asked Alpha Cole the minute the doors closed behind us.He let out a small sigh, and I could see the hint of fatigue in his eyes. Something we both knew he would hide from me. He didn't reply, and he took off his shirt instead.I watched as the muscles of his back flexed, and the skin carrying the tattoo stretched a little."I think I am," he said finally, turning to me. "I reek of blood."He covered the distance to me, his hand resting delicately on my waist before they tightened and he pulled me even closer. He leaned down, cupping my chin gently. "You on the other hand...""I reek of blood too," I said, laughing, but my hands came to rest on his shoulders before slowly running up to cup each sides of his neck. His skin was warm, and I leaned up, my face brushing his lightly."I don't think you do," he whispered, turning us a little. One of his hands ran up my waist till his fingers wrapped around the zipper of my dress."Care to join me in there?
SELENA'S P.O.V Alpha Cole leaned back on the car seat and grabbed a napkin from the compartment. I watched as he wiped his face carefully, then pushed his hair back, his chest slightly heaving still."Let me help," I said, leaning over to grab another napkin. I turned to him and took his hand.He met my eyes but said nothing as I gently cleared off the blood on his fingers till they were clean. I gently set that hand down and brought the other one to my lap. He had several cuts on this hand, like he had hit something hard or was cut with a knife. I leaned forward and kissed the spot right above his wounds. He sucked in a breath but said nothing, his eyes darting across both of mine."You did so well," I said, gently cleaning off the blood on his hand.He had cuts on his shoulder, and his arm looked wounded. I grabbed the first aid box we had left in the car, the same one he had gotten to treat my wounds. I leaned away, then tapped my thigh. He didn't protest. He simply leaned for
SELENA'S P.O.V "That bastard!" Alpha Rhys yelled as he stood up, his chest heaving hard. "Where is my son? Where is Brandon?!"I heard the silence as Alpha Rhys started to pace around the room. "Answer me!""We rushed him to the healer, but his neck looks..."Alpha Rhys lost control of his feet and fell straight to the floor, managing to hold himself to the edge of the bed with one hand."He... he killed my son? He killed Brandon?!"The call quenched. I watched him from where I was lying, my hands already loosened, and alert. Most of the weakness I felt had been replaced by the pure adrenaline in my blood. If Alpha Cole already knew about this, then he would be on his way here soon enough.The last thing I intended for him to see was me lying helpless."That bastard..." Alpha Rhys muttered, tears shining in his eyes as he looked up to me. For a second, I saw the calculation hit his eyes. He already lost his son. It would only make sense to take the only thing he could.He slowly stoo
ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V Shit. Shit. Shit.I could barely smell Selena on my skin, and her essence was gone. Almost like she had passed out. I cut through the strip of woods, my heart beating wildly in my chest.With the way he had been looking at her, he wild definitely have taken her towards a room. My heart felt like it would shatter from the thought alone, and I wrapped my hand tighter around the gun and walked the distance towards the palace"Alpha," A soldier said the minute I arrived the palace, his eyes darting between my gun and my face.His deductions immediately made him step back."Alpha," he said as I stopped in front of the entrance, my eyes thin. I hears footsteps running towards me, and Evan's scent hit me hard."We would like to see Alpha Rhys," Evan said, his voice low and authoritative. "Step back."The soldier looked between us, then shopl hos head slowly. "I apologize, but you eill hsve to drop your weapons first. I..."I didn't have the patience for whatever nonsense
SELENA'S P.O.V I broke into a small laugh, then slowly nodded. "I guess I am caught. It took a whole different pack, that fucking bartender and her stupid drink, and you think standing there gloating makes you some sort of alpha male? The only thing it makes you is a coward, Isaac. You are nothing but a dirty, little coward."His smile faltered, but he quickly recovered. Of course he would. He basically had me tied to a bed with Alpha Cole far away in a place that Alpha Cole would never think of checking. He basically had all of the cards in his favour, and I was about to be a puppet to whatever grand plan this was."I don't think you should entertain her longer, Isaac," the seer said. Her voice was calm, her eyes neutral as she brought her hands to gently fold in front of her. "You never know where Alpha Cole is, so it's best to just do what we want, take the troops and leave. If he sees us here...""It is surprising he doesn't want the troops," Alpha Rhys said, his voice low. "Mayb
SELENA'S P.O.V My body felt sore. Not the sort of pleasurable sore that I had woken up this morning with. It felt like I had been hit with a hammer straight to the head and then dumped in ice water.My eyes slowly opened, and a small sigh left my lips. I looked around. The place looked strangely familiar, and my brows furrowed. Wait.This is our resort room. Only..I tried to move, but my hands and legs refused to cooperate. I turned, and sure enough, my hands were tied to the edges of the bed, and my legs were put together with a rope tied around them.The last three hours came crashing back to me like waves. The dance. Alpha Cole's kiss. That damned receptionist, and then...Shit. Shit.I pulled my hand with all the force I could possibly muster, but the bed only gave a loud creak and stayed intact.Fucking hell.My lips parted to scream, but the door suddenly opened, and Alpha Rhys walked in. My brows furrowed."You bastard!" I yelled, pulling my hands even more, but the bed prove
SELENA'S P.O.V"Something is definitely happening in the meeting," an omega whispered furiously as she passed the dignitary quarters.I immediately sat up, my brows furrowed. I had barely been able to sleep ever since leaving Alpha Cole's room and then the discussion with that man, Evan, and the fa
ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V Selena. Selena is in my palace.My eyes thinned as I looked between the women in the dungeon and the soldier still lying unconscious outside. He had been carefully tucked away, and he had a single hit to the side of his neck. Like the edge of a dagger.That was Selena's signatur
SELENA'S P.O.V The dance troupe proceeded to the palace, and I joined, quickly learning their chants as we made the short journey to the palace.Soon enough, the palace loomed in front of us. I stopped for a second to catch my breath, my chest heaving. I still knew the palace like the back of my h
SELENA'S P.O.V I cleaned out the guns and daggers, laying them out on the floor in the room. I stepped back, my eyes taking in the weapons. Most of them were my hunting gear, as I have had no use for weapons in five years.The sun was already coming up, and tomorrow would be the full moon festival
