SELENEAfter Orion left Maya's room, it felt like a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. We had managed to dodge his questions and keep our secret safe. The relief was palpable, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh as the door closed behind him. Maya, Michelle and I exchanged a knowing look.The next day, I found myself wandering towards Orion's office. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, and I needed to see for myself what he was up to.As I approached his office, I could hear the sound of his voice from inside. Without hesitation, I pushed the door open and stepped inside, only to be met with the sight of Orion sitting at his desk, a wide smile on his face as he looked up at me."Selene, what brings you here?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with amusement."I just wanted to see what you were up to," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady despite the sudden rush of nerves that overcame me."Well, you're just in time," he said, patting his lap as he gestured f

VIKTOR DRACOI knew I had to do everything in my power to get close to her, to make her mine. And I was not one to shy away from a challenge.My first step was to make sure she would come to me. I had to thank Liam, her boss, for being so accommodating and agreeing to sending Maya to my office to pick up an important document. I made sure to emphasize the urgency of the matter, knowing that Maya would be the one to come and not one of her colleagues.When Maya finally stepped into my office, I could feel the tension radiating off of her. She was uncomfortable, and I couldn't blame her. I had made her the subject of my relentless pursuit, and I could see it in her eyes that she was not interested in anything I had to offer."Maya," I said, trying to keep my voice smooth and composed, "I'm glad you could make it. I know Liam told you it was urgent, and I appreciate you coming here."She nodded, her eyes flickering around the room as if searching for an escape route. I could see the wari

SELENEAs I scrolled through TikTok, I was laughing at a comedy.Just then, Orion barged into the room, his alpha energy pulsating in the air. "Selene, I need to talk to you," he said, his tone serious.I quickly put my phone down and turned to face him, trying to keep my expression neutral. "What's up, Orion?"He frowned, his eyes scanning the room. "I just came from the Pack Living Room, and I caught a whiff of vampire scent. Care to explain what's going on?"My heart raced in my chest, and I struggled to come up with a convincing excuse. "Um, I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't sensed any vampires around here."Orion narrowed his eyes at me, clearly not buying my answer. "Don't play dumb with me, Selene. I know you've been acting strangely lately, and now there's vampire scent in the Pack House. Something is going on, and I want the truth."I crossed my arms looking at him. "Orion, I have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you're just paranoid or smelling things

MAYAAs I walked into the office, I couldn't help but notice the pile of gifts and letters sitting on my desk. My heart sank as I saw the familiar handwriting on the envelopes - Viktor's. I knew he had been trying his best but I was adamant about not being his mate. Vampires and werewolves just didn't mix. I shook my head, determined to put him out of my mind and focus on my work.Throughout the day, I couldn't shake the feeling of Viktor's presence lingering around me. It felt like he was always watching, waiting for the perfect moment to swoop in and try to win me over. But I was steadfast in my decision. I couldn't allow myself to be swayed by his charming words and alluring gestures. I had to remain strong, for both of our sakes.As the day came to an end, I gathered my things and made my way to the exit. Just as I was about to leave, I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around me, pulling me into a secluded corner. My heart raced as I realized it was Viktor, and anger boiled within

SELENE I decided to go out into the garden, hoping to find some peace and quiet among the flowers and trees. As I walked among the roses and lilies, I suddenly felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw Gabriel standing there, his tall frame framed by the setting sun. His piercing eyes bore into mine, and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Gabriel!" I exclaimed, rushing towards him. "I've missed you so much. Where have you been?"He enveloped me in a warm hug, and for a moment, all of my worries melted away. "I've been taking care of some things in the supernatural realm," he said softly. "But I'm here now, and I will always be watching over you."I pulled back slightly to look at him, concern etched on my face. "What do you mean, taking care of things in the supernatural realm? Is there something I should know?"Gabriel shook his head. "Don't worry about it, Selene. I have everything under control now. And this time, it's not just me who's protecting you."I furrowed my brow i
