SeleneI was standing in my mother's chambers, while my whole body shakes with barely contained rage."How dare she?" I hissed, pacing back and forth across the plush carpet."How dare she just waltze in back here? After everything she did, after everything I did to get rid of her, she still has the audacity to show her face in this house?"My mother was sitting in a chair by the fire, with her expression calm and unreadable. She watched me pace with the patience of someone who'd seen it all before."Selene, you need to calm down," she said quietly."Getting angry isn't going to help anyone here.""Calm down?" I whirled to face her."I should calm down. How can you tell me to calm down? She's back, Mother. She's back and she's staying in this house, and she even brought a child with her. That same child that looks suspiciously like..."I stopped, my mind racing."Like what?" my mother asked, her eyes narrowing.I shook my head. "No. It can't be. It's not possible.""What can't be?"I

AriaThe air in the foyer had grown so thick that's it's enough to choke on.Selene stood before me, her smile was a mask of porcelain perfection that didn't reach her cold, calculating eyes.She was dressed in an expensive silk, her golden hair swept up in an elaborate style that screamed status and wealth. She looked every inch of the Luna that she'd always wanted to be.But I could see the cracks beneath the surface. The way her fingers twitched at her sides. The slight tension in her jaw. And the way her eyes kept flickering to my face, searching for weakness, maybe. Or even that fearshe used to see before.
Too Late To Claim Me 74. The Mask Slips
SeleneThe afternoon sun streamed softly through the windows of my parents' sitting room, and casting long shadows across the polished floor.I sat in a straw chair, with a cup of tea cooling in my hands, while my mother prattled on about some trivial piece of pack gossip.I nodded along, offering the occasional hum of agreement, but my mind was elsewhere.I'd been in a strange mood lately. I was estless and irritable.Every little thing seemed to grate on my nerves, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go horribly wrong.It was probably nothing, I told myself. It's just the stress of being the Luna, the constant pressure to be perfect, and the endless scrutiny of the pack.But I couldn't shake the feeling that something was looming on the horizon. And it's something dark and dangerous."Selene, dear, are you even listening to me?"I blinked, forcing a smile. "Of course, Mother. You were talking about the upcoming celebration."My mother sighed, her expressio
Too Late To Claim Me 73. The Road Home
AriaI'd been driving for hours now and the road stretch ahead of me, and the familiar landscape wasslowly giving way to the territory I'd sworn I would never comeback to again. The trees grew denser, the houses more scattered, and the air carried with it a scent I'd tried so hard to forget, pine and earth and the wild, untamed familiar essence of wolf territory.My hands were unconsciously gripping the steering wheel so tightly. I loosen my grip, andtried to breathin and out slowly.I forced myself to remember that I was no longer the frightened girl who'd fled this place five years ago.

UnknownShe folded... she folded.It took longer than I expected, I'll admit. She's stubborn, that one.She has a stubbornness that borders on stupidity, and a desperate, clinging hope that somehow, against all odds, she could protect her son without facing what she'd left behind.But in the end, they always fold. I know them too well. They always do.I stood at the window of my cottage, watching the sun rise over the forest. Abeautiful morning for such a momentous occasion. Because today, everything changes.Today, Aro
Too Late To Claim Me 71. The Breaking Point.
AriaAs I drove silently, the road stretched ahead of me like a it has no end.I wind through the familiar landscape that I'd left behind five years ago. Every mile marker felt like a countdown, and each one pulls me closer to the life I believed I'd escaped and also to the man who'd shattered my heart.I gripped the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. I'd been driving for almost three hours now, and I can feel the exhaustion starting to creep in, it's seeping through the cracks in my carefully constructed composure.The events of the past few days had each taken their toll on me, leaving me hollow and broken.My thoughts drifted to Caelum, I thought about the way he'd looked at me when I'd said goodbye. His gray eyes had been so trusting, and so full of pure innocence and love.I know he didn't understand why his mom had to leave. Nor does he understand the danger that was lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right time to consume us both."Stay safe, b
