/Selena’s POV/ I don’t remember much of what happened back then but after Chris told me I was drunk, it all made finally made sense, why the memory was hazy and so hard to recollect, it all made perfect sense now…though I seem to have gotten a picture of what happened, it made me wonder why Christian beat those boys since it doesn’t appear that he killed them, it was more like he maimed them since I still saw them in school not too long afterwards, and if those boys had died it might have caused a serious problem, war would have been unavoidable, they were future alphas after all, I thought. “I was really a fool” I kept muttering as I finally put the pieces together after talking to Chris. Christian definitely wasn’t involved in the bullying incident, he probably ignored it and attacked them later and I happened to see it but hold on…why did I think Chris was my mate and tried to reject him? Why did that misunderstanding occur? My head hurt from trying to draw the image, but whatever

/Chris’ POV/ “Enough!” I snapped as I appeared at the landing to see Eric nagging Christian who seems to be enjoying the one-man show while chewing chips and Eric couldn’t even see that he was enjoying the scene while he kept raving like a mad dog. “Chris…you’re not gonna say anything- “Christian has a place in the pack…he’s family, you don’t have to question his presence and please keep it down, Selena is sleeping upstairs” I warned before climbing downstairs. “It doesn’t bother you- “What?” I furrowed wondering what he was talking about. “He didn’t know did he?” Eric turned back at Christian who rolled his eyes dramatically while shrugging nonchalantly. “Christian what’s he talking about- “Chris do you know why the legend of the ice wolf it's kinda common- “Can we not talk about this?” Christian narrowed his cold eyes at Eric. “I only came for Chris and I would be leaving soon, don’t cause an uproar, Eric!” He said ferociously my eyes darting from Eric to him wondering what

/Selena’s POV/ The moment I was left alone with Christian I knew things wouldn’t turn out well but he doesn’t seem like he mind my presence though, he gave me a distasteful look and turned away quickly but I found myself calling him and aching for him. “Christian” I called and he turned to me with cold eyes. “I…can…can I ask you something?” I stuttered while trying not to meet his eyes. He gave me a bored look and fold his hands as if waiting for me to speak up. “I keep having these flashes…these memories I felt had been buried and I…keep seeing you in them, I don’t know if it’s just a made up memory or something actually happened” Now his expression changes, he look interested for a minute but suddenly he was smirking, what on earth is going through that kind of his I wondered. “What do you remember?” He asked, his head tilted as he spoke, staring at me in amusement. “I...I…I rejected you” I stuttered. “You finally remember” He scoffed before his eyes glowed crimson and let out

/Selena’s POV/I’ve been avoiding Chris ever since our last meeting. Not because I was mad at him for having his ex so close, not because I knew for sure they used to be a thing but because his uncertainty about his feeling confuses me.Can he not see it? He cares for me for crying out loud! Why is he so indecisive? Does he think it's the mate bond? Everything he does, does he think it had something to do with the mate bond? What the hell is wrong with him?My muddled thoughts had me feeling insecure and uncertain about the bond. I sighed and reached for his mark, softly rubbing the area. I didn’t ever want to regret sharing a mark with Chris but what was I supposed to do when all I feel is anguish and despair, the piling doubts that had me wondering why I agreed to the mark in the first place, it was already scary enough watching him cheat on me without the mark, if I ever had to witness that again while carrying his mark…I don’t think I’ll ever be able to take it.I’m scared, I thoug

/Selena’s POV/ I think I’ve gone insane, I don’t know what had me walking up to Chris' room the moment I couldn’t get myself to sleep, I almost want to pull out every strand of my hair as I slowly approached the door to his room, which was strangely open, then I met Kayla. It’s annoying seeing her standing so close to Chris, honestly, it took me every ounce of energy I had left not to grab her, because I could tell under the night-robe she was wearing, she had no goddamn thing, if you think I’m gonna let you have your fucking way with my mate, you’re freaking wrong, I thought after I rolled my eyes at her while watching her leave, then I’m left with Chris, whose calming scent had my worries disappearing almost immediately. And when he lifted me up and brought me to his bed, I felt the strange need to have him immediately but I retrained myself until he kissed me first where I lost all reasoning. Yeah, I needed some comfort since I was still grieving my dad but definitely not in this
