Chapter 21THE ACCEPTANCE SELENAS POINT OF VIEWYes, I had accepted the challenge to the death, but I never wanted my pack to see me as a killer since I wanted them to see me more as the one who will give those in our pack a second chance depending on what they have done. When the pack told us to kill Susy, I just looked at everyone and shook my head. As soon as I exited the ring, I ran right into Fabian's arms and pressed our lips together to declare to the pack that he was mine and that I had gained the right to represent Luna in this pack's future. The only people left to accept me were Fabian's parents, but as we drove away, I could hear the pack roaring and screaming at the top of their voices, which made me feel at home and accepted by them.As soon as we both heard someone clear their throat, we both turned to look at his parents and Esteban's family who were standing next to us. They said nothing, which left me feeling unconfident, but I didn't show it because I didn't want th

Chapter 23SELENAS VIEW OF PLANNINGI had to coerce Beatris into telling me exactly what was going on since I could tell she wasn't acting like herself. When she finally did start to explain what was happening and that her partner was in the pack hospital, I knew I had to go and aid her. She supported me when I needed it, she was there for me when I learned I was pregnant, she was there when I learned I was carrying a son, and she was there when I gave birth to him, so I was going to be there and assist her now that she needed it the most.I asked Gaby to watch over Jr. while I went to the pack doctor to find out how the six men were doing and to find out if they would be able to travel to their pack and, if not, how soon they would be able to be ready to travel. When I arrived at the doctor's office, all six men were present and immediately bowed their heads in respect upon seeing me."Well, the one you threw out the window is doing better and should be okay to travel whenever you li

Chapter 25THE ArrivalWhen I emailed Beatris to let her know we were on our way, she promptly answered and stated she would be waiting for us at the pack house. As we drew nearer to Beatris' pack grounds, she confirmed that she would be there. Less than ten minutes later Beatris, as she had promised, was waiting for us in the pack house's driveway. When I stepped out of the SUV, she rushed into my arms, her eyes filling with tears. She let her tears soak my shirt as I just held her in my arms, and I could see how grateful she was that we were there to aid her, especially me.We'll get through this together, I assured them, adding, "Calm down. Everything will be well.We can proceed to the office if Markus would kindly show everyone to their accommodations. I said. "Yes Luna," she answered. I agree, it's great to finally have you guys here. In an effort to persuade them to follow us, Markus claims that I glanced at Fabian and Esteban before turning to gaze at Markus. Gaby poked both o

Chapter 27THE PERFECT NIGHT FABIANS PERSPECTIVEI couldn't stop thinking that I was meant to be there for Selena throughout her entire pregnancy and then be there for her when she gave birth to him as I stared at the photo of Selena's sister with the person I presumed to be Jr. If it weren't for my parents, I would have been there the entire time as I was supposed to be there for her. Everything I missed during her pregnancy—the first scan, the moment she began to show her baby belly, the first kicks, the moment she discovered she was having a boy, the moment she entered labor—all due to my parents. Although I consider myself lucky to have him here right now, I regret that they caused me to miss all of that and the first two months of his life.I whirled around to face Selena, who had been cradling me in her arms ever since I picked up the photo. Unsure of what to do, I wanted to go back in time and stop her from leaving, but at the same time, I didn't want to miss the moment when s

Chapter 29OUR FATHER SELENAS POV Lucien What the heck are you doing here and what's going on? He said, "I am not asking again what are you doing here," when I pleaded with Selena to stop panicking and please calm down. When I begged him to calm down so that we could talk, he replied, "I will calm down when you tell me why you appeared when we called for our father." Beatris' Beta objected when I only allowed Fabian and Esteban inside the office, and I admitted that I didn't know why. Beatris took the chair from the Alpha and Sebastian and I stood on each side of her after we were all seated.I order, "Talk." I've watched you since you were a child, the white wolf among the three of you, worried for your safety. We had a deal that I would watch over you while your mother took care of Beatris and Sebastian, but we had no idea you'd run across Beatris at the training camp. "What are you saying?" he asks in response. Lucian's identity as Lucian is questioned by Sebastian. I made a stra
