/Chris’s POV/It’s been two days since Selena and I last talked, I was busy tying up loose ends before leaving for the Willow’s pack, no matter how much I think about it I think something is going on in the pack. When an alpha passes and another takes on his position or when authority is relinquished to another alpha, normally a ceremony is held and invitations are sent out to allied packs so they’ll be aware of the change in authority but ever since the news of George’s death, news of another alpha taking his position hadn’t been sent, I don’t know why the news hasn’t reached us yet, something is definitely going on Selena’s pack.“You should be prepared…your journey to Willow pack might become really dangerous,” Christian said as he walked in with a spy report from the Willow pack. Willow pack security had tightened ever since the death of their alpha but not just that, there have been lots of restrictions placed on the pack as well, people can go in but leaving the pack was strictly
/Selena’s POV/I’ve been avoiding Chris ever since our last meeting. Not because I was mad at him for having his ex so close, not because I knew for sure they used to be a thing but because his uncertainty about his feeling confuses me.Can he not see it? He cares for me for crying out loud! Why is he so indecisive? Does he think it's the mate bond? Everything he does, does he think it had something to do with the mate bond? What the hell is wrong with him?My muddled thoughts had me feeling insecure and uncertain about the bond. I sighed and reached for his mark, softly rubbing the area. I didn’t ever want to regret sharing a mark with Chris but what was I supposed to do when all I feel is anguish and despair, the piling doubts that had me wondering why I agreed to the mark in the first place, it was already scary enough watching him cheat on me without the mark, if I ever had to witness that again while carrying his mark…I don’t think I’ll ever be able to take it.I’m scared, I thoug
/Chris' POV/I know it wouldn't end well with Kayla and Selena sitting side by side at a table. Selena hasn't come down to eat with me since Kayla came. I didn't want it to be like that, I just...I want us to be okay already but it seems we have a lot of issues we've got to resolve, so when she tried to leave. I couldn't stop myself from reaching out to her, so I asked her to stay, I didn't want her to leave me alone and surprisingly she gave in and sat back on her chair but then Kayla stood.I might have wanted Selena to stay but I didn't want Kayla to leave either, she's my friend, one of my closest friends even if we used to be more than that once. "Kayla - "I lost my appetite" She claimed before she walked around her chair and headed for the stairs."That...was quite entertaining" Christian commented before he returned to his seat with a tray of sliced fruits. I guess he was in the kitchen. Eric's eyes darted from Selena to Christian and then back to her, why does it seem to me
/Selena’s POV/ I think I’ve gone insane, I don’t know what had me walking up to Chris' room the moment I couldn’t get myself to sleep, I almost want to pull out every strand of my hair as I slowly approached the door to his room, which was strangely open, then I met Kayla. It’s annoying seeing her standing so close to Chris, honestly, it took me every ounce of energy I had left not to grab her, because I could tell under the night-robe she was wearing, she had no goddamn thing, if you think I’m gonna let you have your fucking way with my mate, you’re freaking wrong, I thought after I rolled my eyes at her while watching her leave, then I’m left with Chris, whose calming scent had my worries disappearing almost immediately. And when he lifted me up and brought me to his bed, I felt the strange need to have him immediately but I retrained myself until he kissed me first where I lost all reasoning. Yeah, I needed some comfort since I was still grieving my dad but definitely not in this
/Eric’s POV/Selena might not be looking at me but I heard my eyes on her, I would watch her eat, read, and do everything in her room and somehow I wish I could reach her already, but I know I could, not after that mistake, I almost took her by force, she must have been very scared. I thought recalling how pissed she looked as I pinned her hand to the headboard, the memory had me shutting my eyes tight as walked into the alpha’s residence the second day. Christian sauntered into the dining room with a cup of coffee in his hands. Lucky bastard, I thought frowning after our eyes met. Christian being a snow wolf, a legendary rare wolf from his mother's side of the family, has the ability to choose his mate, while the moon goddess assigned mates for every single wolf, his wolf chose his own and he can’t choose again if they don’t share a bond or mark, and once his wolf chooses, the chosen mate would automatically feel the mate bond. Christian hated the fact that his wolf chose Selena bec
/Chris’ POV/Something’s wrong, I thought feeling a strange fever take over me after patrol, a strange urge to shift overwhelmed me, so I did but the strange heat didn’t stop so I shifted back and walked back home after changing back into my clothes, my body hurts for some reason.“Selena” My eyes widened in surprise after seeing her in my room, sitting at the foot of the bed with her head buried into her knees which she had her arms around. She slowly raised her head to look me in the eyes, how long has she been like that? I wondered for some minutes as she stood and walked into my arms, I smiled and rubbed down on her head, but I feel strange though. I thought as I hugged her, inhaling her pheromones to calm myself but it was strangely not enough, I needed more…I slowly lifted her chin up to kiss her, the feeling of warmth and familiarity run through me like a flash, surging electricity but I still feel weird.“I miss you” My eyes flutter open in surprise after Selena hummed that to
/Selena’s POV/I was only able to regain control from Ava after we got to the dining room and it makes me kinda happy honestly, but not long after we were both settled in the dining chair to start eating, Chris looked somewhat uncomfortable, it makes me kinda worried because he wasn’t looking at me, instead, he was staring at Kayla who had a mischievous smile on her face. He had her head tilted to the side while her fingers makes sly gestures on her plate as she took her time to eat. What is she doing? I wondered in confusion because she had a smug smirk on her face that made me feel rather uncomfortable, she definitely had something up her sleeves again and Chris….why does he look like he could barely hold his wolf back? I jolted in surprise when Chris suddenly rose to his feet.“I…I need a run-“But you barely ate anything” I pointed out staring at his food which he hardly touched but the constant glinting in his eyes makes it impossible to focus on what he said next before he storm
/Chris’ POV/ It’s already tiring enough having to be Kayla’s chosen mate, which I figured because her scent was quite alluring and immediately after I stood and walked out of the house she followed me, and then we shared a kiss, something I wish I had stopped, but Kayla can be persistent, only when we kissed did I realised how fucked I am. If that didn’t mess my head up enough, she just have to point out to me that Selena is attracted to Christian. I’ve had lots of thoughts going through my mind already, It’s already tiring enough, but Selena looked me in the face and told me she had no intention of getting away from Christian, not like I can force her or anything, but it’s so annoying when there’s nothing I can do to stop her from acting irrationally. Christian definitely did not like her, so it should be alright, Right? How messed up, I scoffed realising how I needed a one-sided assurance to make sure Selena stays mine. What exactly do I want from her? Now I’m wondering since it s
