"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
Selena felt that electric magnetism between them again and she couldn't take her eyes off of his. She felt her legs trembling, and it was a good thing she was seated.Lucas was staring deep into her eyes. Even though they weren't saying anything, it was like they could listen to each other's thoughts. They knew what they wanted, but they were waiting for the other one to take the lead.Selena blinked and looked away, trying to pull herself together. It was amazing the power he had over her. She finished the beer at one go again, starting to feel her head dizzy. It was a very large glass after all."So, tell me, what is it like to be an Alpha? You know, I could never ask that to my father, and I'm actually really curious about it." Selena asked him, starting to feel a little more at ease around him.It was probably the effect of the beer on her organism, but she had almost forgotten the whole Demi situation. He was always so nice, that it was actually really hard to be mad at him.Lu
For the first time, Selena didn't feel the urge to push him away. In fact, she didn't want the kiss to end at all.Lucas had now put his hand around her waist in an embrace and pulled her towards him. She was finally enjoying the moment, like Maddie had told her to do. And it was incredible.He was holding her tight, like he didn't want her to leave his arms. And it just felt so good.She wrapped her arms around his neck and had no idea if it passed seconds or minutes when they finally let go of each other.Both of them were still trying to figure out what had happened and they stayed quiet for a few seconds.Lucas looked inside her eyes and whispered, with their foreheads still together:"I really hope you won't say you're sorry again." Selena shook her head in denial. She wasn't going to say that. Not anymore.She had finally realized that it had no escape from what she was feeling. She simply couldn't deny it anymore.It was getting so strong that she had to admit defeat for herse
