SELENA’S POVI heard a knock on my door and walked up to the door to find Dylan in front of my door.“Good morning!” He said with a smile.“Good morning Dylan. Hope you had a nice night.” I greeted back with a smile.“I did, Selena.” Dylan said, his expression brightening.“How are you doing today? You look like you didn’t really get enough sleep last night. Is everything okay with you?”I hesitated for a moment, but then decided to confide in him. “I am, Dylan.” I said letting out a heavy sigh.“I didn’t really get enough sleep last night because I had a terrible night mare that my mate came to the front of this house to claim me and I was wondering how he knew about this place… you know?” I said.“Well, as you said, it’s just a dream and nothing more. So don’t you worry about that and just relax here. Take a shower and come down for breakfast, Granny is preparing a delicious breakfast and I’m sure you’ll like it.” He said.“Thanks, Dylan. That means a lot.” I said, giving him a smil

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“I can’t believe you Alpha. You would go through such a length for someone you don’t love.” Muna said as she walked into my office.“What if she finds out about the secret you had been keeping from her? Do you think she would forgive you?”I felt a sudden rush of anxiety as Muna mentioned my secret. I had been keeping something from Selena, something that she would not be happy about. But I had a good reason for keeping it from her.And I didn’t want to have to explain myself.“What are you talking about?” I asked, trying to sound casual.“Trying to act like you don’t know what am talking about won’t help you Alpha. We both know that you are definitely keeping something from her.” Muna said.“She is going to find out eventually and she would hate your guts Alpha so just reject her and stick with me.”Just then, my phone rang and I checked the caller id it was Selena’s brother. He informed me he is coming over to my pack to discuss a crucial matter.His voice soundin

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVI turned my gaze at Selena who I noticed was frozen in place, unable to move or speak. I won’t blame her, she had just witnessed something so brutal and violent, something that she never thought possible.Drey was dead, his blood spilling out onto the ground. I was breathing heavily.I could sense she didn’t know what to do or say to me.She finally spoke. ‘Why? Why did you do that?”“Why did you kill him?”“I’m sorry you had to see that, Selena.” I said, my voice strained.“But I had to do it. Drey was a danger to the pack, and to the entire wolf world. He was ruthless and brutal, and he would have caused so much suffering if I had let him live.I had to end it, for the sake of everyone.”She didn’t say anything and I guessed it was because she was still reeling from the shock of seeing Drey die.But I could see the questions swirling in her eyes, and I knew she needed answers. So I continued.“It’s a long story, but I’ll try to make it as brief as possible.Drey

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVI returned to my office and sat down on the chair.“Welcome back, Alpha.” Alexa said.“Hope nothing happened while I was gone?” I asked.“Well, nothing that you should concern yourself about.” he said.My mind was in battle and I needed someone to talk to about it.“Alexa, what would you do in a situation whereby you expressed your feelings for someone you love and they don’t accept it yet because they are scared?” I asked.Alexa’s face remained neutral, but his voice was gentle as he responded to my question.“That’s a really tough situation to be in. I can imagine how hurtful it must feel to be rejected by someone you love. It’s important to remember that everyone moves at their own pace, and just because someone isn’t ready to accept your feelings right now, doesn’t mean they never will be.Communication is key in situation like this. Maybe you should talk about it and ask why they’re not ready, and what they need to feel comfortable moving forward.”“Thank you,

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVAfter Selena left my room, I couldn’t help but feel at ease about what she said. I knew that she had a lot of things going on in her mind and that she needed some time to think and process everything.I on the other hand wanted to make her feel safe and secure knowing that I won’t let anyone or anything stand between us. I loved her and I wanted to be with her, but I knew she was still scared of me hurting her as I did in the past with Muna. I had to make her realize that Muna meant nothing to me anymore and that she meant the world to me.I got up and took a shower. I stood under the hot water, letting it wash away the last traces of the previous night. I knew that I had a lot of work to do in order to regain her trust. It wouldn’t be easy, but I was determined to do whatever it took to make things right.I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. I looked in the mirror and saw the small scar on my shoulder that had refused to heal after many
