The Selection Novels & Stories

“So keep my father’s name from your lips.” “Anyway.” Rowan shook his head. “I want to go back to the fact that the council has already selected my mate.” He glowered. “You don’t get to select my mate, Thinius. No one does. You get to offer options, but I choose if I will even meet with them.” Thinius eyes narrowed, but then he gave a tiny nod. “Fine. This is done. She can continue this futile attempt at applications. The council knows they made the right selection. Let’s go girls.” He turned to leave, but I couldn’t let it end like this.

Ugh, these are the words echoing in every hallways currently, the whole school is in a total mess as every girl I walked past was having a serious conversation about the selection parade. The selection parade takes place every five years, it's an occasion where girls who have come of age, from 18years to 25years, from different species (werewolves, vampires, witches, elves and dragons) are chosen and taken to the king's palace. Although we don't know the reason they do it, because all the girls who were taken there always comes back losing their memories -they don't remember and can't say what happened or what they saw there. An

If she had any sense, she’d be after him, too. “Well, he’s been my friend for years. I just know that we will have the strongest bond. It’s going to be amazing. You know, I’m perfect for Luna. Caden would be a fool not to choose me.” “Sure,” Chloe said. “Except I don’t think anyone gets to choose who their mate is. The Moon Goddess handles that.”

I had been reborn, back to the very day Louis Hanover was choosing his wife. It was the day of the wife selection assembly for the wolf clan royal family. Philip Hanover, the Wolf King, had sired a son in his twilight years. That son was Louis, the white wolf and the inevitable successor to Philip. Dad, who was standing beside me, whispered urgently, "You have the best shot at being the future Wolf Queen, Grace. You must take good care of the future Wolf King. Do you understand?" I stayed still, giving no sign of agreement or refusal.

“What’s happening again, why’s it doing this? It’s been doing it actually. Before you came in, Alina.” I looked up then, the sides of the walls around. Noticing how the lights dulled but never truly went off. “It’s the Selection Isolation Mode.” I said, explaining. “It’s been activated but not fully. It dulls when the room is in active use. Like a selection is on going.” “Selection? But there’s no selection on going right now.” Daniel spat heatedly, anxious. “There was no selection on going before, there’s none now and it’s still doing this. Why?”

You are officially invited to enter the gates as Mask Number 27. My hands shook as I held the paper. My heart hammered against my ribs, a burst of pure, unadulterated hope blooming in my chest. The Lunar Selection Society. The most prestigious matchmaking institution on the continent. Only one hundred ladies were chosen every five years, their identities hidden behind masks to allow the most elite Alphas to judge them strictly on merit and soul compatibility. I had made it. For the first time in my entire life, I wasn't second choice. I was chosen.

"Okay then, let's begin preparation immediately and search for the family with the oldest person in wolf town." "What! Oldest person?" Alpha Jack wasn't expecting such a turn. "I thought we already agreed to vote instead. Besides, whoever it is we are going to select from amongst ourselves here would only act as regent pending on the recovery of the king. (chuckles lightly) why do we need to carry out such when the king himself is not dead but only sick. We just have urgent matters to deal with." Alpha Jack wasn't ready to let all of his hard work be enjoyed by someone else.

It was time for The Selection. The Selection happened every five years and it would set the stage for the Ranking, which decided the placement of the Cabinet. Only the top 100 packs in the world were invited to participate in the Ranking. Many factors went into selecting the packs for the Ranking. Pack size, the power of the Alpha and Luna, the intelligence of the Betas and the popularity of the pack as a whole. Council Wolf number 11 changed the slide on the giant projector screen and the Head of the Council brought out the next folder. “Right the next pack. Five years ago, nearly an unknown. The new alpha has really grown the

I hated seeing him like this, vulnerable and sad. "What's going on in the city?", I nodded to the discarded newspaper on the counter, hoping to divert his mind. It worked. "The usual, the push against another revolution, newly made killings", He said, the glint gone from his eyes. "And, surprisingly, the selection", he added, his eyebrows lifting in silent question to me and I groaned internally. "That's odd". "News on the selection has never been on the papers before", I responded. The selection takes place every year during graduation at the Fangs Academy for half vamps. The process where each g

"When will the selection start? I want to try it out." The most important thing for me was that I could get closer to Klaus if I got selected.I gave him a nervous yet eager look. "It will take a while." Klaus held my hands and said seriously. "The requirements in the selection are very strict, and I don't practice favoritism.Otherwise, it will be unfair to everyone who participates in the selection.Besides, you are not strong enough now." "Of course, I know that." I squeezed his fingers, not discouraged.
