" What the hell is this feeling I have? Like something is coming?" Raphael, future King Alpha of the Blue Sapphire pack, was sitting in front of the window in one of the castle's living rooms, with one hand on his chest and another one in the pocket of his pants, wondering. He did not even hear the door opening, so deep he was in his thoughts. White arms came behind him and got him into a hug. He could recognize the red nails everywhere. It was his future Luna. He could feel how she would place her head on his back, but he was dead inside. In some other time, and place, he would have felt something at her touch, but now? It was like she was trying to hug a well-done statue. Just that too many were at stake and he could not just remove her from him so easily. " You came here to think at our ball?" she asked. Her voice was deep. The voice that would make crazy a man and would make him think only about the time they would spend in bed... But not him. He had that feeling that would no

The occasion to go into that beautiful, luxuriant garden, came faster than she hoped. Robert was about to go to an urgent matter for almost half an hour after he received a rushed call and she would remain only with her parents. They were engaged in all sorts of conversations with their friends, and she could tell they were feeling good because of the amount of champagne that they had been drinking. They were socializing with a lot of their friends, and even though they were trying to add Selene to their conversations, she was feeling odd talking with all the people that she knew for sure that weren't accepting her. She also had a glass of that expensive champagne and she could tell for sure that it relaxed her a lot. She was so relaxed that sometimes she would peek at Raph from time to time, trying to be careful that he wasn't looking back at her. She could not think of a reason why all of a sudden he became so mouth-watering for her, but she decided, at least for the night, not to q

~ Raph ~ As soon as he went to one knee and took Luna's hand in his, he knew it was wrong. His lips were still burning from the wonderful kiss he had shared and he was feeling that a nightmare was about to start. The moment was so important, he could see from the corner of his eye that everybody just stopped whatever they were doing, to admire them. That was something very damn special, but not for him. For a brief moment, he captured the image of a purple dress disappearing from the doors and he knew that Selene went out. All his being was screaming to move his ass after her and only with a really strong will he remained in place, but he felt a little sweat running down his back, He moved back at Luna and saw that her smile was made of ice. She knew something was off. Her eyes were throwing arrows of fire toward him but she was considering herself too much of a lady to cause a scene. She pushed her finger into the ring that he was holding between his fingers. That was the moment whe

She felt some comforting arms and the scent of her mother, but she was so tired of the emotional release that she was unable to move. She felt some strong arms carrying her, and she assumed was her father, both of them whispering about what could have happened to her. Selene was redecorating again the scene, making her tears drop without any effort. she knew that her dear friend might have left, and she was feeling a little bit good at the thought because so vulnerable she wanted only her parents to see her. She was under the impression that she had played with the fire and got really burned. She was feeling like a child brought up in arms but she felt so broken that it was impossible for her even try to move or say anything. She was feeling like her spirit had suffered a major hit. Somewhere deep inside her mind, she knew that this was maybe a bit too much for a man with that she had shared a few kisses but she knew it was more. She always had an attraction for him. Even when he wou

~ Raph ~His heart jumped from his chest when he arrived at the entrance of the cell the moment he saw the guard hitting, Selene. A mortal fury flooded him and if he wouldn't know that it was not able to do that anymore, he was sure that he would have turned into a werewolf there on the spot just to reap that man's head off with the teeth. He would never have imagined that he could have such mortal feelings toward someone, but he was having. And only punching that bastard until he saw him at his feet made him have a little comfort. But the moment he turned back at Selene his feet turned into jelly and he fell to his knees next to the bed. He wasn't able to stand anymore. He slowly touched her hair just to check her neck for a pulse and he felt relieved that he could sense it but it was fading. Also, she was having a thread of blood coming from somewhere above her head, from where she took the hit. The fact that she was pale like the sheet made him take the right decision for that mome
