After convincing Duncan and accepting the duty given to her. Selene immediately receive orders from Julieta to tend to their new members.Of course, she had no idea of what to do, so she’s left fumbling about. For the time being, she helps the group get settled in their new home.They got sent to one of the house a few meters away from the mansion which was behind the hedge maze.Selene stood in shock, swallowing hard as she stared at the rundown and filthy shacks with no doors. Its windows barely hang, and the roof and floors had holes and missing pieces.It was clear the place has been abandoned for years, neglected and left to rot.“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know there were such rules like this.”She felt down, having thought they’d welcome the group within the mansion like they did to her. But it seems the pack was giving a different treatment to them.“Don’t worry, Ms. Selene, what’s important is they’ve accepted us and allow us to stay here.”A female with a bobcat hair says, smili
After pulling Selene aside, Duncan took in a deep breath, rubbing his temples because of the upcoming headache that was increasing with each minute.“I’m guessing you don’t know the reason they don’t have a pack.”He grumbles, lips twitching from holding on to his remaining temper.“Ben did say something about it.”Clueless, all Selene could do was bite her lip while lowering her head in shame.She remembers how Ben said some things about the group, but she couldn’t believe that, especially since she sympathizes with them.She understood well what it felt to be called useless, so she believes the group of was not like that.Once of the things that made her believe this was the fact that they manage to take her away from Ben. Of course, she couldn’t say that to Duncan, knowing what will happen.The reply only made the young-alpha grumble, before letting out an exasperated huff. He was clearly holding on to his rage.“Then why did you think it would be good to bring them here?”Duncan c
It was the first time that the mansion had become that lively, though the noise came from the vagabonds running around, panicking after the mishap that happened.No one expected the old Vagabond to step up and move in front of them, taking the young-alpha’s attack head on.Duncan, being too close and filled with rage, could not stop in time. But thankfully, he shifted his swing within the last minute, making the cut shallow. But it was enough to cause continues bleeding on the vagabond’s chest.“What was that about?”Julieta hissed, glaring at the young-alpha, whose actions were too irrational and unexpected. She couldn’t understand what could have triggered it.Duncan remained unbothered by the loud nags and murderous stare of the head maid.He sat on the last steps of the staircase, watching
Face twisted in annoyance, grumbling, and dissatisfied. Ben continued grumbling things while his eyes remained sharp and frowning at the group in front of them. He still can’t understand why he agreed to this. What’s worse, he no longer had the choice to turn back.“If the alpha finds out what happened, we’re going to get in so much trouble.”He grit his teeth to hide the fear crawling on him. He’d known Duncan since they were pups and he knew the alpha wouldn’t agree to such a thing.Yet Selene’s face remained radiant, happy even as they got closer to the young alpha’s mansion.“That’s why we won’t tell him.”She had this tingling inside of her, having a sense of light-headedness from the adrenaline of having done something meaningful this time around.
With an aching head and back, Selene opened her eyes to a damp room. She shivered from the cold, making her fold her legs, embracing it with her arms to keep herself warm.The darkness didn’t give anything away, making it hard to know where exactly she was in right now.The smell of rotting grass, molds, and rotting carcass didn’t make things any comfortable, as it reminded her of things from his past.Hearing some murmurs nearby, she crawls, carefully making her way to where the sound was, only stopping when she gets into a blockage. She lets her palms feel the wall, wincing from the rough and prickly edges of old wood. Curious about the sounds on the other side, she presses her ear to listen.On the other side of the room was a group, compose of several teenagers and one adult male. All were in a state of panic as the old guy was throwing glares at each of the yo
Several glowing eyes from within the forest remained glued to the two unsuspecting individuals. Smirks forming on their faces as they remained undetected, making them bolder.Selene and Ben chatted as they made their way back to the mansion, carrying several plastics of supplies. Blissfully unaware of the gazes that were following them as they made their way to town.“And then the alpha said….”Ben chuckled as they walked, but stopped mid sentence when he noticed something in the air. He sniffed, frowned, and growled after recognizing the odd scent.“What’s wrong, Ben?”Selene furrowed, seeing how the beta kept scanning their surroundings. It was only midafternoon, and the sun was up.A sudden jolt came over her, fear clawing on her chest at the su
