/Selena’s POV/ I sighed in exasperation. Why is he denying to himself so much? I wondered as Chris looked rather confused after asking him that question. “Never mind” I forced him a smile and he nodded awkwardly. “Um…your brother said your dad’s buried where the other alphas of the pack were buried and your mother is down in the basement, he also said something about her biting or something, and Ness, she said you should be careful when you go down there and-” My ears picked some movements so, I ended up closing our distance and covering his mouth with a kiss because someone…was watching, but I don’t know who that is. “What…did you hear something?” Chris asked in my arms after releasing him. I guess he was quick to pick. “Yeah, they are still around…whoever that is” I answered and he sighed adjusting himself to fit into my arms. “You know…sometimes I wish I could do this once, finding a place to rest my head on” He confessed and yawned. “I wonder why I’m suddenly so tired, I have
/Eric’s POV/ It’s been a couple of days since Tina left the alpha, I can feel her absence, the way she lingers in the room, her subtle scent that was hardly noticeable except you’re standing so close to her. The way she moves dauntlessly, her ever-serious expression twists and creases when I have her under me, I miss it, I miss her persistent nagging. The last time I felt this lonely was when my mom left, living alone in this big house. I sighed heavily drawing Christian’s attention. He raised his head from the pile of documents he had in front of him. We both had to stay over at Chris’s study to re-examine the financial report because about $600,000 seems to be uncounted for. “Something wrong?” Christian asked, his voice low and gentle. “Not really” I replied plainly while staring blankly at the multiple documents that had tables and numbers in them as similarities. “You look bored” He guessed and I shrugged. “Maybe…and you, you look…terrible” I bluntly stated after seeing the t
/Chris’ POV/ I woke up clutching my stomach, goddamnit, I’m starving. I thought forcing myself up after feeeling slight painful pangs, right next to me is Selena, still in my body by the way. She sure is having fun, I thought after looking at my topless upper body. I want to go back into my body already I thought before my stomach let out a loud rumble that end up waking Selena. “Morning” She moaned lifting herself while rubbing her sleepy eyes. “You must be hungry, come…I’ll prepare something for you” She said standing up from bed while grabbing my shirt off the armchair before slipping it on. “My cousins should be on the training grounds right now. So, I’ll make you something to eat” I’m not in even in a place to complain, though I’d have loved to remind her she was in my body. Like she predicted, the sitting room was empty and dead silent, except from the rustling leaves, whistling wind and shouting warriors from a distance, no other sound can be heard in the vast sitting room.
/Selena’s POV/ Having to go visit my best friend for tampons after 6 months of ghosting her wasn’t cool, I know but I had no choice at the time, things weren’t going well with Chris and I was pretty tired of telling her about how whacked my marriage life is, I didn’t want to keep telling her how hard it was for me to live with Chris. I knew she would always support me no matter what I do, but I was afraid of what she’ll do if I keep telling her about it but I ended up knocking on her door to ask for a freaking tampon, being in Chris’ body makes it difficult to just ask and hesitated for a few minutes before I was finally able to ask her about it, it good to see that despite our differences, she was still ready to help. “Hey, I brought you the tea” Chris rushed for it. I know the type of pain he was in. “It’s not stopping” He complained while staring at me in question. He doesn’t expect for it to work immediately he took it, right? I raised a brow. “You should try to catch some slee
/Chris’ POV/ Honestly, I have no idea how women deal with this period shit, for some reason I’m glad it isn’t Selena going through this crap. Where is she by the way? I wondered sluggishly standing up from bed after waking up. I changed and put some new clothes on, then I head downstairs where I caught Selena standing toes to toes with her brother, and the pheromones she was letting out, made it unable for me to breathe, it was not affecting me much like would, is it because I’m on a period, who knows but rather than making me feel hot all over like it would do, it only makes me uncomfortable. “Sel…Chris, I…can’t breathe” I managed to say before falling to my knees. “Ch…Selena!” She called out in shock rushing to my side at once. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I thought you were safely upstairs, I shouldn’t have done that, I’m so sorry” She pleaded anxiously while I struggle in his arms. “Okay fine…what’s going on?” I asked meeting the worried faces of Selena’s family members after the
/Sean’s POV/ It was taking a longer time than necessary to have everything done. Convincing the elders to pronounce me the new alpha was taking forever, I was just about to use force when Selena appeared in the pack, an unknown variable in my plan and ever since her appearance nothing’s been going well for me. “Are you really going to be doing this?” Jordan asked me as he walked into the study with a worried look on his face. As his cousin and future alpha, he was ready to help me with whatever I needed for the stability of the pack, to prove to the elders that I was worthy of the position and get reinstated but his resolve to carry out our plans was broken after Selena appeared. “Why are you scared now?” I asked with a furrow after he came up to me in dad’s study just a while after apologising to those other pack members. “I agreed to this plan because I thought Selena was suffering over there and I wanted to bring her back at all costs. When you played the audio of her crying whi
/Eric’s POV/“Do you think Chris’ gonna buy it?” I asked Christian and he growled at me in annoyance. I know why he’s mad. Immediately after Kayla was stabbed, I rushed to save her but I was too late, late in the sense that she turned back herself and put a dagger into the wolf’s neck before she fell to her knees. She’s a strong woman after all. I still remember her words as her knees braced the ground.‘Hurts like hell’ Normally a silver wound wasn’t supposed to heal, we thought she’d bleed out right there and die, Christian even went mad and blamed me for not protecting Kayla but after we reached the pack hospital, we were told by the doctor that the knife used in stabbing Kayla wasn’t made of real silver but was coated by silver to land lethal damage, so if they could extract the impurities in her wound, the wound will close.Not very familiar with science terms but the doctor said the impurities were fighting her cells which was constantly regenerating or something like that. So,
/Chris’ POV/“What do you wanna tell me?” I still remember asking after reaching up to Selena to confess to her.“Can…can I tell you after talking to mom first” She had anxiously requested, I wonder what’s eating her up to have her on edge like that.“Yeah sure” I answered before she smiled and led me downstairs, where Caroline was grinning from ear to ear, I was kinda happy she helped sort out my feelings because even though I know exactly how I felt about Selena, I found it difficult to admit it since I was kinda worried that it might all be because of the mate bond.“I guess things worked out eventually” I heard her mumble as we approached her.“You heading out?” Caroline asked us as Selena fidgeted in front of her probably wondering how she’s gonna approach the topic with Caroline.“I’m heading down to the basement to see my mom-“You still haven’t seen her?” She asked in surprise and Selena nodded awkwardly.“Being distracted by lots of things and Caroline. What happened to my mo
