VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge

SELENA’S POV"Where am I?" Darkness closed in on me, darkness that did not end, and a chill fog crept around my feet like outstretched fingers. I moved slowly, but the ground I walked upon was not solid, as if I walked upon space."Aya?" I tried to summon my wolf but i got nothing in response.My heart broke into torment. My wolf did not leave me. She would never, definitely not like this."Selena Ravenwood," a soft voice cut through the darkness, clear and commanding. I looked around locate its source and then-She appeared right in front of me.A woman whose face glowed as if she were the embodiment of the moon, in resplendent silver silk that flowed under her every movement. Fluid metal hair, curled, and silver-colored eyes blazed at night, leaving me to embers with a shiver that ran through my spine."W-who are you?" I stuttered, my words twisted in my throat.She smiled, a star-filled grin. "I am the Moon Goddess."I stared, stunned and unbelieving conflict raging inside me. The

LUCIAN’S POV"He is a fucking moron." I growled, slamming the door behind me as I walked into my home. I was furious because Caius was making a big mistake. I started walking back and forth, like a crazed beast. My fists were constantly curled and then released and my heart was seething with anger. The Silvermoon Alpha’s daughter, Elena or Elira whatever the hell has named her. I couldn’t bring myself to trust her. She was too good to be true, too perfect and her scent was off too.I tried to warn him many times about my dreams about her. My nightmares were never meaningless. They were always something. Some harbinger of worse things to come. This had been a nightmare, Elira floating amidst a river of bodies and blood, Caius dying at her feet, and Selena screaming as she was stabbed while I watched , unable to save either of them. Then she would try to kill me too but I will always wake up before she does.But he responded the same way every time. “You’re overreacting, Lucian.it’s ju

SELENA’S POVI was still on the kitchen counter, Lucian in between my legs and his arms around my waist when I turned to look at him.Caius.He was in the doorway of the kitchen, his eyes on me, his anger blazing. I was trying to catch my breath, but Lucian didn't move from his position. His cold eyes strained harder and glared at his brother.‘This was completely wrong. Things were not supposed to end up this way.’I placed both palms on Lucian's chest and pushed him back slowly. "Let me down," I breathed.His eyes darted to mine and softened. He nodded and backed away from me. I descended from the counter, stiff feet on the cold floor, my pounding heart. I could feel Caius's glare still upon me as if a massive weight weighing me down."So this is your next option," Caius growled. "You and my brother."I did not say a word. I could not.Lucian moved closer to me and placed his hand along the curve of my lower back. "She owes you nothing."Caius scoffed, though his tone wasn't nice. "

SELENA’S POVStanding at the entrance was my brother, Rowan Ravenwood, the future Beta of the Moonbound pack. His suspicious eyes bored into my soul, weighing me down. He was so much like my dad, the same hard face, same steel gray eyes, same stance of strength.“What are you two gossiping about?” he said with his baritone voice.Darcy got up to respond, but I quickly said, "Why are you here? You weren't supposed to return until next weekend."He closed the door and grinned. "I came back early so I could spend more time with my baby sister before she became the Queen of Lunaroria.” He pinched my cheeks.I became sick inside as I looked down in embarrassment. This was supposed to be a respectful moment for our family, but I blew it. I didn't even have the gut to glance at him. Darcy glanced at me before turning to Rowan. "Rowan, there’s something you need to know.."I circled my arm around her. "Darcy, don't…”But she shoved my hand away in a hard kindness, but a gentle firm face. "He

SELENA’S POV I paced around my room, hugging myself tightly with my heart racing so fast. The sun was setting second by second, but I didn't care. I was tired. I was angry. I needed to be away from there. Before Rowan showed up or even my parents."I will not be forced into accepting Lucian," I growled under my breath.The thought alone sent shivers down my spine. I had to get out of the house before I was forced to make a decision I would regret for the rest of my life. Darcy was the only one watching me apart from the staff at the house. That gave me a glimmer of hope that I could convince her to let me leave the house.I took a deep breath and strode out of my room, barely even trying to keep up the poker face. She was sitting on the living room going through a fashion magazine, holding a cup of herbal tea. Of course, she looked up when she saw me. "You finally decide to come out of your room?" She raised her eyebrows at me. “I thought you were going to keep yourself locked in t
