Aiden POV The feeling of the power radiating through my body was intoxicating. I had never felt so alive. The Moon Goddess was aiding Selene and Evangeline in training Blake and I to properly wield our new magic. We had no idea how much time was passing in the mortal realm, so we needed to act quickly and get back to the pack as soon as possible. My father was likely losing his mind with the sudden disappearance of both the future Alpha and Beta. Although, I had no idea how the hell I was going to explain all this when we returned. I still didn’t fully understand it myself. “So… this war?” Blake began, “Why is it the druid pack or so critical? There are thousands of werewolf packs, why us?” “Because Highlander, they were born from the most powerful ancient magic, and the most knowledgeable of the ancient people.” Said the Moon Goddess, nonchalantly.

Selene POV   “Most of the vampire legends you would have heard as a child are true. But there is often a great amount of misinformation when it comes to how Vlad Tepesh came to be the original Vampire.”   “He didn’t sell his soul to the devil in exchange for power?”   “Not exactly… He tried, and he might have succeeded if the blood sacrifice he used to attempt to summon the devil wasn’t a werewolf.”   I looked at Aiden, hoping he would be able to read between the lines, but the confusion on his face forced me to go into more detail.   “By killing a werewolf, he summoned my mother. She threatened to take his life for killing one of her children but he bargained. He swore fealty to her in exchange for the power he sought. Initially, he had more in common with the werewolves than the vampires we now know. He was a fierce warrior who won many great battles in the name of the moon god

Selene POVA flick of my wrist and I could've snapped that pup's neck. But I knew it was important for my mate's status to defend me from the males in this pack. In the mortal realm, it is rare for wolves to pursue a mated female, they honour the mate-bond and enjoy casual trysts with unmated she-wolves. But I am no she-wolf. The moon magic that exists in my blood is difficult for wolves to resist, mated or not. Aiden doesn't know that the one thing that could cause a male from his pack to challenge him is if it desired me badly enough. Aiden would champion any opponent, of that I was certain. He is an alpha, blessed with the old magic. And as his third in command has recognised, he is more than a mere alpha, he is king.But it would hurt him to kill a member of his pack, it goes against his oath as an Alpha. He would kill for me, and I hated that I felt sure that if I spent enough time amongst his people, he would eventually have to.

Selene POV"What the devil is that?" Cian asked as we approached the forest. I knew he was referring to the call Aiden and I had heard earlier. Him hearing it as well confirmed my suspicions— Cian was of Fae blood. "What is what?" Aiden questioned, glancing at me and raising a brow."That sound, coming from the forest, I've never heard such a thing.""It is the fae... or, what's left of them. Fairies, I believe they are more commonly known as now. The only trace of a once proud and powerful race left in your realm.""I'm not sure why that should astound me, I'm a werewolf in Celtic Ireland, of course, there are fucking fairies." Cian scoffed as we reached the forest edge. "Ronan, Liana, keep guard here. If we have not returned in an hour, fetch Blake, Evangeline... and my father." As we crossed the threshold into the forest, the path we had entered on disappeared before us. I turned to look behind and the fores

Selene POVAs Aiden thrust passionately inside me, I could feel his worries through the bond. The sex was primal, even with our wolves still in their corporeal forms, I felt like I was making love to more beast than man. As my back hit the wall I felt him reach his peak inside me as his member throbbed and jerked and his breathing became slower and less ragged in my ear. I ran my hand down his muscular back, kissing him fiercely when he finally met my gaze. "You have no idea how badly I needed that..." Aiden purred, his low, gravelly tone sending goosebumps up my arms and a distinct flutter in my core."Do you need it again, mo mhac tíre dubh? I want more..." I purred in response. I felt his grin against the skin of my neck as he gently removed himself from between my legs, kissing his way down my body before falling to his knees. He nestled h
