Selena waited until Lucas finished his bath so they could have dinner.She tried not to think of ways to make him kiss her, but she was very pissed at him for leaving her sat on the bed like a rejected woman.It was true that she wanted him to kiss her again very badly, but she wouldn't admit it. She was very proud for that.Lucas left the bathroom like nothing happened before, and they had a very calm and peaceful dinner while drinking some wine.The tension between them was almost visible and palpable in the air. He kept looking at her during the entire dinner, and she wasn't able to stop looking at him as well.How could she? His hair was wet and he was wearing a very casual shirt, but Selena thought he couldn't be any more handsome than that.As the wine was making effect on her body, she could feel that she had to go home urgently. She couldn't spend another night at his house.Only God knows what could happen.Selena got up saying she had to go, but helped Lucas clean everything
If Lucas wasn't holding her, her legs would give away her nervousness. "I have to go home. I have class tomorrow morning, and it's very late already." Lucas smiled gently and released her.Selena felt her skin freeze at the same moment, and she couldn't believe how much she missed his touch on her skin.How was that normal? Was that what humans felt when they had an attraction to someone, when they liked someone?How could they live with that powerful feeling? It was consuming every part of her soul the need she had to be near him now.She didn't want him to let her go. She actually thought he was going to ignore what she had asked, and kiss her.But she was wrong. He was now grabbing his cellphone and keys to take her home.He didn't even ask her to stay."I'll take you there. And don't even try to argue with me about this." Lucas said seriously.He was very intimidating, so Selena didn't even try to say something about that.She simply followed him out of the house and got into hi
"What did you just say? I don't think I heard you correctly." She looked at Maddie for the first time. Her eyes could not be more open. Selena almost laughed. Maddie blinked a few times before she pulled herself together."What did I miss? How could you possibly be in love with him?" "That's what I'd like to know. I mean, I tried so hard not to." Selena sighed."Wait, wait, wait. Go back to the beginning. Last time I checked, you were going on a date with Robbie and you hated Lucas." "I mean, I also don't understand. He pisses me off and sometimes I swear that I hate him, but I can't deny what I feel every time I see him." Selena was trying to tell everything she could so Maddie could understand the situation, without having to talk about their werewolf origin. It didn't seem so hard when she thought about it first."Isn't that how you feel about William?" Selena was also trying to understand everything as she talked to Maddie."Well… I wouldn't say I'm in love with him. It's j
Selena didn't think she would actually be that nervous to go out with Lucas.Lucas sent her a text, and Selena didn't know how he got her number, asking if she wanted him to pick her up or if they should meet somewhere.Selena didn't want to bother him, nor she wanted someone from her pack seeing him around, specially not her father.It could be the end of that relationship even before it started.She said she would meet him at the park and then she went home to get ready.She took a shower, wore some comfy jeans and a jacket, and left to meet him. Her hands were a bit sweaty, but she tried to relax.She didn't have any reason to be nervous after all. Right?When she arrived at the park, it wasn't hard to find Lucas among everyone there.His appearance made him stood out like he wasn't even supposed to be part of that world. Selena couldn't believe how lucky she was because he wanted to spend time with her amongst everyone else in the world.She thought it should be normal for him to h
"I'm an Alpha, right? I should at least know something about others in the same position, specially the ones that live nearby." He had to come up with an answer quickly, but that seemed to convince her.Lucas didn't want to get deeper into that matter. He wouldn't tell her that he was the one that asked her hand in marriage to her father."I see what you mean. It makes sense." "So, you were saying your life is pretty boring." Lucas encouraged her to continue. He wanted to know everything he could about her."Yes. My mother died giving birth to me, so I've never met her. My father hates me because he thinks I killed her somehow." Lucas could see how Selena's sad eyes gave her away. It must had been a very lonely childhood without her parents present in her life.He clenched his fist in anger. He hated Bryce even more now."So the only person I had by my side during all my life was my grandmother. She is everything to me." Selena's eyes changed from sad to radiant in a second as she
Demi looked a little intrigued, looking from Selena to Lucas repeatedly. It was like she was trying to imagine how and when that combination happened."What are you doing here?" Lucas asked a little uncomfortable.It was clear to Selena that he wasn't comfortable with that situation."I am going to pick something I bought at the store. What about you guys? What brings you here? I didn't even know you were friends." Selena noticed a bit of sarcasm on her voice, but she wasn't in the mood to answer. She would let Lucas deal with her."We were just taking a walk." Demi looked at Selena."I see. For a moment, I thought I had misunderstood this." she pointed to the two in front of her. Selena didn't like the way the girl looked at her when she said that. It was like Demi was looking down upon her.In an impulse and without thinking, Selena grabbed Lucas' hand and intertwined their fingers. Exactly like a couple would do.Demi straightened her eyes to their hands and looked at Lucas with
After the encounter, Demi left Lucas and Selena behind with a rage inside her body that she couldn't control. How come Lucas had moved on, specially with that girl?Demi didn't even know they were close in the first place. The only time she saw them together was on that stupid day at the bar, when her and Lucas met the others. The whole point why she asked him out was to be alone with him. Maybe even try to remember the old times and have a one night stand with him. But that was out of the picture the moment she saw everyone else on the table.She did her best to pretend she wasn't mad, but the fact that Lucas picked on Selena the whole night and didn't pay a lot of attention to her made her even more annoyed.Now, she could barely believe when she saw him and Selena chatting on the street, with big smiles on their faces.It was really hard to accept what was right in front of her face.Demi never saw Lucas so delighted. Seeing Selena hold his hand like they were a couple in love ma
They arrived at the bar in silence, as Selena was still very furious about what she had experienced with Demi on the street.Lucas was also intrigued about this new Selena. She was always trying to make it seem like she didn't care much about him, even though it was pretty obvious for him that she did. Every time he came close to her, he would feel her nervousness and how much she tried to be cool about him being so near.They sat on the stools near the bar and ordered two beers to the bartender.Selena was very confident that she could win the bet, but at the same time she just wanted to drink and forget that awful encounter with his ex.The barman put the glasses in front of them, and Selena didn't even wait to make a toast. She took a huge sip of the drink while Lucas was still holding his glass, waiting for her. He made a toast in the air by himself and drank the beer."So, are we just going to wait to see who wins the bet in silence or we can talk during the process?" Lucas mock
