Derek’s POV
I froze the moment I saw her face. “Selene?”
It’s not possible, I thought she was long dead, but after three hundred years, she had not aged a day either. Clearly she shared my curse of immortality, and somehow she had managed to avoid me all these while.
“Please let me go, leave us alone!” She cried as she pulled her arm out of my hands and ran to her lover on the floor.
“Joseph, are you alright?” She asked him.
I was too stunned to speak. My mate who had disappeared three centuries ago was in the middle of Beverly woods, making love with a human boy!
I immediately grabbed her by the hair and pulled her up while she screamed. “For three hundred years, you have evaded me, but finally fate has put you in my hands, I will make pay for everything you cost me, Selene.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about, please just leave us alone!”
Hearing her declare her care for another man made my blood boil with rage. Her audacity to defend her human lover.
“Alpha, we need to leave now,” one of my men announced as the rest of the group rejoined us.
“Kill the boy, Selene is coming with us!”
Julio did as I instructed immediately. He lifted the human and plucked out his heart, leaving his body to drop on the floor.
“Nooo!!” Selene screamed, struggling to go to him. “Joseph!!”
I immediately hit her hard on the head and she passed out. Staring at her unconscious body, I was filled with rage.
What a slut, sleeping with humans, she had no shame left.
“Carry her!” I ordered one of my men and we headed deep into the woods.

I walked into the room and met Blake carving a wood, he saw me come in and looked away, focusing on his art like it was the most important thing in the world.
“Are you not going to talk to me?” I asked softly.
He sighed and looked up. “There is nothing to talk about.”
“You are angry.”
Once again he slowly looked up, then he dropped the wood and walked to me.
“No, I am disappointed. You found me as a child, Derek. You raised me like a son, made me your Beta when I came of age. You taught me how to survive. We are rogues, and rogues are criminals. Commiting crime is what we do to survive, but there were rules and you just broke one of them.”
“Blake, I…”
“No, Derek. You are Alpha and I respect you, but there is no justification for what you have done tonight. We do not get involved with humans, that has been our rule for ages, we don’t interfere in their lives, that’s how we have kept the truth of our existence a secret, a fairytale. Yes, we are rogues and rogues don’t follow rules, but there is a limit and I begged you not to attack them.”
“Humans are no different from us wolves, they are vile creatures filled with hate and greed…” I argued
“No, they are weak and we don’t prey on the weak and defenseless. Is there no honor among thieves? Attacking, molesting and abusing humans? Is that how low we have gone?”
I let out a sigh, knowing I could never win this argument, but I would not apologize. Everybody knows I don’t apologize, not even to Blake whom I respect the most.
“But if I didn’t attack them tonight, then I would have never found her.”
“Found who?” Blake asked.
“Selene! My mate, I found her! I should have known, what better place to hide for ages than with the humans, knowing that I would never come looking for her there.”
Blake furrowed his eyebrows. “Wait, Selene is real?” He asked.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Why don’t you come see for yourself, Blake?”
**
We went to the storeroom where her unconscious body lay, I removed the hair from her face, she didn’t look a day over eighteen.
She brought this curse upon us!
“Are you sure that is her?” Blake asked and I immediately growled at him.
“I am just saying, man. She looks like a regular human.”
“Don’t let her innocent face fool you. The whore is cunning, sly like a fox. I made the mistake of trusting her once and it cost me everything. My wolf, my home, my title, even my life. Never again would I be deceived by her!”
Blake sighed and shook his head. “I will be with the rest of the Pack, and Derek… please no more raids on humans.”
“Don’t worry, our days of being rogues are close to over. Moreover the humans must have learnt their lesson, they will stay out of our woods now!”
I heard his footsteps as he walked away, I squat down beside Selene, watching her lay there unconscious.
For three hundred years I have told our story, and many think I made it up, until I watch them grow old and die.
But now I have her in my possession, I can finally be free, and I will take my revenge! I will make her suffer until her last breath!
TBC!
Lily’s POV“Arghh,” I groaned softly as I opened my eyes, my head was hurting badly.I looked around the dimly lit room and I couldn’t recognize the environment. Where am I?Just then my last memory resurfaced in my mind. “No… Joseph?” I muttered.“Are you here, Joseph?” I called out loudly but there was no response. I fell on the floor and broke down in tears, I can’t believe he is dead.My boyfriend was murdered right in front of me!Who were those men? What did they want?I forced myself up, I felt pain in some parts of my body but none of them suggested I had been sexually molested.So why did they take me and dump me here? Where exactly was here?I rushed to the door, it was not locked and that made me skeptical, but I was willing to take the chance.I pushed it open and snuck out, I ran straight through a hallway, following the direction of the wind and soon I was outside the house.A large old building in the centre of the woods?I didn’t wait to take a closer look, I took to m
Author’s POVAlpha Derek was breathing heavily when he left the room.

But he wasn’t always a rogue!Alpha Derek was born to the Alpha Bloodline of the Crescent Moon Park, he had just taken over from his father at the age of thirty when he ran into his mate.Selene, a young beautiful girl who had just come of age.

I could see the sun shining through the window, it had to be noon. I had been locked in here for hours, I had knocked and cried till I was exhausted.The door opened and my abductor walked in, along with a scared looking young lady. He stood at the door, while the woman brought me a tray of food and a bottle of water.“Feed, the full moon is still days away. You will need your energy for the mating ritual.” He said in an icy tone.I didn’t hesitate to jump on the food, I was starving and thirsty.“Leave!” He ordered the woman. “Go back to your pack, don’t try to ever come back.”“Thank you, Alpha Derek.” The woman said with tears and ran off like she was scared he would change his mind.What the hell was going on here? I wondered as I stuffed my mouth with the food. Alpha? Pack? These were words Melissa used all the time when discussing her werewolf obsession?Could it be real? Do werewolves really exist? And if so, what do they want from me?I was tempted to ask but I already knew ho
Lily’s POV“I told you not to run again,” he said in a low voice, his shadow lurking in the dark.“I didn’t run. I walked,” I replied with my chin high, though my voice faltered slightly.He appeared behind me in the reflection of the glass, his silver eyes glowing. He was bare chested, his body tanned and muscular.His hand came to rest on my hip, his fingers digging into the silk of my gown like he owned my body.“You disobeyed me.”“I don’t belong to you,” I breathed.He leaned closer, his mouth brushing the shell of my ear. “No? Then why do you tremble every time I touch you, little wolf?”I did tremble, but not from fear. From need. From desire!“I don’t want this,” I whispered, even as I leaned into him.“You don’t want me?” he growled, turning me around and pressing my back to the wall, the stone biting into my skin. “Or you don’t want to admit that you do?”I gasped as his thigh slid between mine, parting them. I felt my body melt under the intense gaze of his intimidating eye
It was almost midnight when we all gathered around the fire. The senior year students of Oakview High School had decided to throw a secret bonfire party in the middle of the night to celebrate our fast approaching final exams.We had prepared a large clearing in the middle of the Beverly Woods, then set up several camps around the large bonfire. It was an all night rave party, with smuggled drugs and alcohol.I really wasn’t much into the party, I was just excited to be here with my boyfriend, especially since it could keep us up and high until the clock hits twelve, marking my new age.“Hey, want to dance?” Zic asked me as he approached me by the fire. He was holding two bottles of beer in his hand.“Oh Hi Zic, sorry no… I am here with my boyfriend.” I smiled at him.He chuckled and looked around. “Well I don’t see him here, Princess.” He replied in a flirty tone.I laughed softly. “The answer is still No.”“Fine Princess… it’s your loss anyway.” He smirked and walked away.I scoffed
