The Selection Book Movie Novels & Stories

CHOICES UNKNOWN POV Choice - it's the most powerful tool there is. Everything in life boils down to choices. We exist in a universe of infinite paths and possibilities. Each and every path we choose shuts or opens an infinite number of doors. I lay down certain paths for my children. Some like to call it fate, but the truth is they can choose to ignore that path. I can't make them choose. There are rules against things of that nature that even I must follow. My children are those born with the pull of the moon. Werewolves as they have come to be called.

He knew all about Maia. They were given files of each child to look over when they first said they were looking to adopt. Mr. Sween picked up Maia’s file first and read it thoroughly. He knew where she came from and the state she had once been in. What she had to go through. He chose her instantly, wanting to give her a good life.

Leonard looked up and glanced at me with a complicated look in his eyes. He patted Yelena's back gently. "Let's go home." I stood rooted to the spot and was awash with a myriad of emotions as I watched them hold each other and leave. Melody came up to me and asked softly, "Are you okay?" I nodded and emptied the glass at once. "Did you know?" Melody sighed. "There's a story behind Yelena's miscarriage." I raised my brows. "What do you mean?" "I heard it somewhere." Melody lowered her voice as she continued, "Yelena didn't go for a checkup that day. Instead, she went to get abortion medication from a doctor."

Bethel took out a formal parchment from her bag and had it passed to me. "Anna, this is the announcement for next month's Blood Moon Trial. Jack and I will participate together. You must come and witness it when you have time." I glanced at the forest edge and smiled. Isn't this the same hunting challenge I had secretly registered for weeks ago? I had no interest in their posturing, so I finished my tea and looked up to ask Jack: "Where is your beta with my belonging?" Jack made a pack-link call and suddenly frowned: "Anna, I cannot return your item immediately."

I almost have a heart attack when his eyes land on mine. It's a bit too dramatic, if I'm to be honest. Think of it as one of those moments on TV when the handsome hero that everyone wants, suddenly finds the eyes of the shy girl everyone hates, but he likes, for some odd reason. This feels like one of those moments. Except I'm not exactly hated by everyone. Sure, there are a ton of people in the pack that are a hundred percent loyal to Zara and Selene, who feels like I'm standing in the way to the pack's greatness... doesn't make sense, I know.

I believed I could give him the life he deserved. Waiting for us was William Saun, a retired Navy man. He looked serious, nothing like soft, slippery Tony. As soon as he saw us, he pulled out a toy excavator. Luca's eyes went wide. William smiled. "Take it. It's a welcome gift." Luca looked at it, aching to grab it, but shook his head. "It must be expensive. I can't take it." My heart clenched. Tony's favorite line to Luca? "Be good." "That's too expensive." "You can't have it."

Jason's POV - Side Story I fell for Becca the moment I met her on a blind date. She didn't have Denise's kind of sweetness, but she was quietly lovely, the kind of pretty that lingered the longer you looked. And when she smiled—those two dimples at the corners of her mouth—something about it disarmed me completely.

A respected elder said mysteriously, "All of you love worrying about useless things. But if you were really asked to go, not one of you would step forward." A young werewolf turned red and argued back, "Guarding Howlpeak means cutting off all emotions and forgetting the past. It's not that we refuse to go. With so much beauty in this world, could you really give it all up?" "Yeah, exactly." The elder smiled after a moment's contemplation. "If you won't go, someone else will. Why worry so much?" "So you mean a candidate has already been chosen?" "Of course." "Who is it?"

he said simply, reaching over to squeeze my shoulder, "Figure that out first, everything else can wait." I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. "Alright, enough heavy stuff," Adrian announced, grabbing the remote. "I found the perfect movie, it's called 'The Proposal' and it looks absolutely ridiculous." "I've seen it like ten times." “Perfect, then you can quote along," he said, pressing play. "Now help me open this popcorn before I break a tooth." We settled in, blankets and snacks spread between us, the opening credits rolling on the screen, and for the first time in days I felt like I could actually breathe.

I realized that I wouldn't miss anything once I left. I entered the villa and saw my belongings piled up in a messy heap in the hallway. There were coffee stains on my clothes, and my books had been torn apart. The photos that I had treasured for the last two decades were scattered all over the ground. Antonio had one arm wrapped around Sophia as they approached me. He looked down at me from the tip of his nose and said, "You should know your place, Elena. You're just a temporary member of the Corleone family. You don't have the right to look down on Sophia.
