The night passed away slower than I had imagined. I guess it was due to the fact that I could hardly sleep through out the night. I turned a few times while thinking about the words Khal said that resounding in my head, over and over again like bells.I hadn't been able to shake off what Noir said and I could feel a part of me broken on the inside. I hadn't meant to cause a misunderstanding between the family. I just didn't want to lie to them. If only I had known it would lead into this, I would have kept my mouth shut about me not able to shift. But it was already too late for that. I thought the more in my head. Standing up from the bed, I rubbed my tired eyes. It was too late for that now, all I could do was prove to Damon that I was worthy to become a Luna and the rest of his family would fall in line. I could feel Nala's excitement as well as her pain. I couldn't deny that I hadn't been hurt with the little defence Damon threw my way, he had stood up for me when his father

My butt and knees hurt so much from the frequent times I fell to the floor after every punch directed at my stomach, ribs or face. Jane hadn't been lying when she said Christian was strict when in training and each time I failed to stand up within twelve seconds, he came at me and I suffered more blows on my stomach even when I was down than when I was up. My insides hurt just as my body ached with the sun burning down on us. I was starting to feel dizzy and dehydrated but thankfully, the blows Christian threw at me weren't enough to make me bleed but after a series on a particular spot, i start to feel bruised. "Get up." Christian ordered after a millionth time and I sighed. I was currently lying on my back on the floor, my arms spread around me as the sun burned against my face. I was tired and my body was weak. I couldn't even move a limb. "Get up Selene." Christian ordered again and I blinked, surprised he knew my name but I didn't try to move but he started to lunge at me wh

The morning started with me on the training field as a blow landed on my face for the second time, and I staggered backwards but didn't fall.It was a great improvement from yesterday that I could stand my ground and avoid falling after been hit. I held my breath as I held my arms up blocking the blow from reaching my face. I smiled on my progress but Christian gave me no word of encouragement as he lunged at me yet again. It training went for another two hours when he decided to stop.Christian stared at me for a while but on seeing him looking at me, I grinned wiping away the sweats that had gathered in straight long lines on my face. "You're starting to do well now." He said and I jumped in excitement. "Yes!" I yelled happily as I dancing around, but Christian only rolled his eyes. "You're not that good but you are starting to do well." He complimented yet again and I couldn't stop myself from showing how excited I was.I grinned at his words before standing up while Christian

Damon's POV.I watched Selene sleep and watching her steadily sends shiver waves through me. Her long dark lashes rested perfectly on her face and I suddenly wanted to run a thumb round her soft pink cheeks.She looked so peaceful and innocent while sleeping but I knew she was in a lot of pain right now. I looked down at her body, her left arm had been broken and was bound in a cast, even for a werewolf that would take time to heal after I had assisted. Her forehead and face had bandage covering up the wounds and a dark bruise formed under her right and left eyes. A gauze was wrapped over her torso and I knew underneath it were a series of bruises here and there. I looked down at our intertwined hands and sparks of emotions vibrated through me. I didn't know what to feel at that moment because, I felt too many emotions clouding my head all at once and I couldn't figure them out. I was worried about the injuries on her body because, they would take awhile for it to heal and this wo

Selene's POV.I woke up to the sun reflect against my face and my stomach grumble in hunger. I opened my eyes to see oceanic blue eyes staring back at me. Damon. He snapped out his gaze immediately as I regained consciousness of my surroundings and he shook his head as if shaking off bad thoughts. I knew he was thinking of me, he was worried and sad that I was badly injured, so I thought.His eyes said it all and even though he tried to hide it, I knew how he was feeling. That was another gift the moon goddess has given us, the power to feel connected to your mate and know what each other was feeling at a particular moment. I smiled softly as I tried to sit up a little only to feel so much pain and for the first time, I actually looked down at myself. My left arm had been broken and was bound in a cast. My forehead and face had plasters covering up the wounds I had suffered and I could feel a dark bruise forming under my both eye as well as a gauze was wrapped over my torso and
