Selena He clings tighter to me and growls at the stranger in the shadows. "Fuck off, she's mine," he screams.  A shiver runs down my spine- he's holding me so tight it hurts. It'll be a miracle if he doesn't leave bruises on my skin.  "How about a game? It wouldn't hurt, would it?" I know it's a man talking, but I don't think I've ever heard the voice. "How about you get the fuck out of here?" My captor snaps back. I'm trapped between two strangers. One wants to hurt me, the other- I don't even know.  Even if I break free, I won't outrun them. Why did I agree to meet Kelly? Stupid, I

Selena   "Of course, it's me. Whom did you expect to see here? The Pope? Or the Moon Goddess herself?" She chuckles, walks down the stairs, and sits down next to me. "Let me ask you again, what on earth are you doing here?"    For some reason, Luna doesn't look nearly as scary as she usually does. Now, she looks like she's been crying for hours.    "None of your business!" I snarl at her and turn around.    I want to leave, but where do I go? One step in the wrong direction and danger will welcome me with open arms.    We sit in silence. I know if I stay near her much longer, I'll get myself into more trouble, so I stand back up and walk

Kane   Thaddeus, I think that was his name, approaches us. A smirk spreads across his lips as he focuses on Diana. I look at her and notice that she's struggling to stay on her feet.   "Your wolf has recognised superiority, and you continue to fight it. Young lady, are you willing to accompany your daughter's journey?"   "What are you talking about?" Diana steps forward, trying to look intimidating.   "I'm just a gentleman offering to accompany your daughter in this bag." Thaddeus chuckles as he kicks the bag with Zara's body. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Thaddeus; I am the last Keeper of the forbidden lands. Beside me stands the next heir to the throne- your next King," he says far too respectfully, es

Kane We reach the packhouse faster than I expect. I need Selena; I just want to hold her, or at least know she's near. The need for her grows with each passing second, and it's driving me insane. "I thought we'd never get here in one piece," Cody complains. "I doubt I'll ever get back into a vehicle with the King behind the steering wheel." Thaddeus takes his side. "Shut up, I'm here to deal with a pussy who claims to be a fucking Alpha, not deal with two whining kids," I roar at the duo and get out of the car.  "We'll stay here and wait," Cody pulls the Keeper closer to him.&nb

Kane I run back to the place where I left Cody and Thaddeus.  I hope they left; it'd be better for them. I won't hold down Onyx; If one of them so much as looks at Selena, the lunatic will flip.  "Kane!" Selena grabs my shirt and tugs at it. Her breathing speeds up, her flesh burns, and she seems to be getting weaker.  "Hold on, kitten, I'll get you to safety; just hang in there." I kiss her forehead. A simple attempt to soothe her, but in response, she lets out a weak moan.  I groan and increase my pace. If Selena continues to fight exhaustion to get to my skin or another moan leaves her lips, I won't blame myself for everything I'm abo
