Kane
As I carry her away from the ceremonial clearing, all I can think about is how much I'd like to see this woman wrapped in my sheets. I'd fucking love to see her fall asleep and wake up in my bed.
Although she's been mine since I chose her, there are a few rules I have to follow. I have to bring her home first and discuss when she can move in with me. It's a stupid tradition, but I can't change something we've been doing for centuries.
I carry her to her house and let her stand back to her feet as soon as we approach the front door. Only when she raises an eyebrow, I realise I didn't ask her for the address.
"Great way to appear like a creep. Amazing first impression," my wolf laughs at me, but I blo
SelenaI don't know her. I don't know my best friend. The person standing in front of me is anything but the girl I once loved and adored.She has changed for the worse.And as if the yelling and accusing me of things I haven't done weren't enough, she slapped me.I stare at her wide-eyed, shocked beyond limits. But before I can regain my senses and say anything, my bedroom door is kicked down by the same man Kelly is so angry about.He ignores me and stomps straight towards her. I watch everything in horror.He grabs Kelly by the neck and forces her body against the wall. Her feet leave the floor
KaneI'm seething with anger as I head downstairs to stop by her parents. Selena's father looks worried, while her mother is pissed off about something."Tell her that today was the first and last time I'm going to take any shit from her." I clench my hands into fists to keep myself together. I don't want to cause more damage here than I already did. "I'll be back in three days; then, I'm taking Selena home with me, with or without her consent." I don't warn anyone anymore- every word that passes my lips is a promise.Her parents watch me leave. I'm fucking furious. How dare she act out like this when she knows I'm doing her a huge favour.As usual, my wolf shows up when I don't need him. "Calm down, you scare
SelenaI stare at the girl in the mirror. She looks exactly like me, but it can't be me.For the past two days, I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, the only image I could see was him- the barbaric stranger who chose me as his own.Although I'm more apathetic and tired than usual, I still want to find something to make me feel a little happier.It's hard to accept that one of them chose me. I struggle to learn things and their customs to fit in. All that, and the horrible thoughts of the man who will come here to take me away from everything I love.I put my hair in a ponytail and bite my lip to distract myself, but as soon as I
Kane Selena's heart pounds against her ribcage with such force, I can feel it. Her breathing quickens as her gaze roams the room. I'm sure she's looking for an escape, but I'm determined to provide none. "Could you please let me go?" Selena whispers ever so softly. "You don't see it, but I'm really trying," I shake my head. I drop my arm to my side and let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. "Trying to do what? Let me go?" Selena tries to push me away, but her hands on my chest feel more like an invitation to taste her than an attempt to increase the distance between us. "It sucks to be the one delivering the bad news, but it doesn't count as letting go when you cage someone in your
SelenaNever in my life have I felt how quickly time can pass. Since the day Kane stormed out of my bedroom, I could almost see seconds turning into minutes and those morph into hours, bringing me closer to the dreaded day.I feel more pressure with each passing day, especially from my mother. Sometimes, after her lectures, I feel guilty for lying to Kane. But the guilt doesn't last- I've gained more time."Selena, princess, please leave the bedroom," my mother suddenly appears by my bedroom door. What in the world? Why does she sound so concerned all of a sudden?"I'm drained, maybe tomorrow." I yawn and turn to my other side.She storms
KaneI knew Beatrice was up to something when she made an excuse about a lipstick she left in my office months ago.The little snake spent way too much time looking for that thing, even after I assured her countless times that she wouldn't find anything in my office. I have a cleaner who comes twice a week; if there was lipstick, she would tell me.So when Beatrice hurried off with a note in her hand, I decided to follow her. I felt like a creep as I got in my car to follow her, but my gut feeling knew that something would happen.Still, I couldn't imagine the surprise that awaited me when Beatrice parked her car in Selena's driveway. I didn't leave my car and sat there waiting.
SelenaAs soon as I open my eyes, my head feels like a bucket. I stretch my sore limbs and sigh in content as my skin brushes against the silk sheets.I rub my eyes and sit up in bed. My vision settles on a huge painting, and I immediately jump out of bed. This isn't my bedroom."Where am I?" I whisper as my eyes take in the surroundings. This isn't Beatrice's bedroom either.I try to remember everything that happened yesterday. To make it more sense, I mutter the words to follow the memories. "Think, Selena, think. You met Beatrice and agreed to go to the club with her. You had a few drinks and then..." I slap my hands over my mouth as a sharp gasp escapes me. Angered, I pace the bedroom and snarl, "Kan
LunaThe only reason I'm standing at the entrance of an abandoned building, dressed head to toe in black and looking like a burglar, is to dig up some dirt on this bitch.I've been waiting two hours for this damn girl to show up, and I'm starting to get really annoyed. She's late, even though she was the one who set the place and time for us to meet. Fucking humans.I glance at my watch as a figure approaches me. "You got the information I need?" I ask her as she keeps looking around. She's too nervous; no one's going to catch us here- I'd sense a presence if there was any."We don't have much time, so let's get right to it." If I didn't need her, I'd show her where she stands. How dare she invite
