SELENA’S POV“Now I’m gonna allow you rest and then will check up on you later today. Alright?” He said.I nodded with a smile…Then my countenance changed…“What’s gonna happen to Muna’s body?” I asked.“I was so weak so, I couldn’t bury her body so I left her in a small cave.”Alpha Duncan expression changed to a sad one…“Well…. we will find her body and lay her to rest. Hoping that no wild animal had gotten to her before we do or the rogues.” he said.“That’s the least we can do for her.” Alpha Duncan said.“She was a good beta, and she didn’t deserve what happened to her.”“She risked her life to save mine and for that I’m grateful.” I said.“If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know if I could have made it out of there alive.But she came to my rescue and sacrificed her life to help get them out of my trail because she knew that would want to get me back because I was the only one who could bring you out of the pack house.”“The last thing I said to her was that I wanted her to bring

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVI walked towards her and sat on the chair.“I need you to do something for me first.” she said.“Yes, I’m willing to do anything you want, Selena.” I replied.“I have muscle cramps. Can you massage my legs, please?” she directed me.“Selena, I ain’t good at massages.” I said.“Don’t you worry, Alpha, I’ll teach you how.” she said her voice barely audible.“Come.” she signaled with her fingers, patting the space beside her.She directed my hands to her calves and said“Knead this area gently. Just use your thumb to loosen the area.”“Just, massage it to relax the knots and the hard muscles,” she continued.My fingers tentatively touched the area. It was good to feel its velvety and softtexture that I wanted to bury my face and kiss every inch of it.She guided my hands through her legs, splaying my fingers on her skin and thenmoving them up and down them. Her fingers were atop mine; increasing thesatisfying sensation I was feeling. She was definitely seducing me!

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVI went over to Selena’s room and knocked softly.There was no response at first. But then after knocking a few times, she responded telling me to enter.I opened the door slowly, not knowing what to expect. Would she be angry at me for bringing up the past? Would she be too emotional to talk? I was prepared for anything.But when I entered the room, Selena was sitting on her bed staring out the window. She turned to me as I entered.“Hey, Selena. How are you doing?” I asked.“I’m alright. Doctor Otsuki came and did some more test on me and just left before you came in.” she informed me.“Did he say what it was for?” I asked.“Well, he wanted to check my bloodstream to be sure that I don’t have more silver poison in my blood.” she said.“What did he say?” I asked, feeling a little worried. Selena had been through so much already, and I didn’t want her to have to go through anything else.“He said that I’m in the clear.” she said, giving me a small smile.“No more sil

ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVThe moon was high in the sky that night as Selena and I sat down still discussing about the tension of war breaking out.“I know, but not trying isn’t an option Selena.” I said.“We are trying to avoid a war that could lead to loss of many of our pack members life. So I don’t see how that shouldn’t make any of the other pack leaders change their mind.”“I just hope they do, Alpha because some might want a war.” Selena said, her voice filled with worry.She stepped closer to me, the moonlight revealing her worried face.“There are those among the other packs who thrive on conflict, who see war as the only path to dominance. They may not be willing to seek a peaceful resolution.”I nodded in agreement, my heart heavy with the burden of responsibility. I knew that I had to do something to avoid a war between various packs and rogue werewolves. Because I know it could get ugly and a lot of lives could be lost.As an Alpha, it was my duty to lead my pack with wisdom and

SELENA’S POV“I will never negotiate with the same rogues who killed my parents and manipulated me into killing Alpha David." Fred said.“I understand your anger and grief, brother, but this isn’t about revenge.” I said, choosing my words carefully in order not to provoke him.“It’s about building a better future for all of us. If we don’t take this opportunity to talk, we risk losing everything we’ve worked so hard for.”Fred looked away, his jaw clenched tight.“I won’t let them off the hook for what they’ve done.” he said, his voice full of anger and pain.“I’m not asking you to.” I said, my voice gentle.“But I am asking you to consider the cost of not talking.” I continued.“The cost of war is too high, both in terms of lives lost and the damage it would do to our communities. Is it worth losing everything just to satisfy your need for revenge?”Fred remained silent, his expression unreadable. I held my breath, waiting for his response.Finally, he spoke, his voice low and hoarse
