ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“Hey,” I said, causing her to startle.Her face scrunched up in irritation, and she shout the puzzle book with a snap.“What do you want?” She demanded, her voice cold.“Just checking on you,” I said. “You’ve been cooped up in here all day.” I said.“I’m fine,” she said, turning her back to me. “Now leave me alone.”she said coldly.I knew that I had hit a spot and needed to be careful of the next word to say.I tried a different method."Selena," I said softly. “Look, I know we’ve had our difference, but I want to make sure you’re okay. Can we just talk?”“Honestly, there is absolutely nothing that we need to talk about. I hate you and that will never change.”“While I’m not particularly fond of you, I think it’s best if we put our differences aside and try to coexist as cordially as possible. There’s no need to discuss the past and the kiss, and I’m not interested in arguing with you. Let’s move on.”She hesitated before looking at me, her expression cautious. "Alr
SELENA’S POVAlpha Duncan got up and headed towards the door. Then I spoke.“What could be the issue?” I asked.“I don’t know yet. I need to find out. Now, if you excuse me.” He said and was about to go out of the door when I asked if I could come?“Can I come too?” I asked looking at his face for approval.After a second of silence. He accepted.“Sure you can come along and so we both went to the coucil chamber.When we got there, I saw Muna there as well. Oh my blood was boiling as I hate her guts.“What’s she doing here?” Muna asked obviously not happy with my presence.“She is here to help.” Alpha Duncan replied.“Muna, please don't start this now. We have bigger things to deal with.” Alpha Duncan said, trying to keep the peace. “I need your input on what's going on with the pack.”Muna glared at me but kept her tongue in check. I could tell she was seething with anger, but I did my best to keep my cool.“What's the issue?” I asked, trying to sound as respectful as possible. I kne
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVAs I stood before the pack outside, I announced to them that we needed to go and investigate the attacks on the nearby town and possibly help them with some supplies.“Muna would be tagging along with us as we go and investigate the attacks in the nearby town. So the rest of you be on guard and keep the surrounding safe and if anyone dares to attack, kill without hesitation.” I ordered.“Yes Alpha!”But as soon as the words left my mouth, I noticed Selena’s piercing gaze fixed on me, demanding answers.“Oh boy!” My wolf said.“I think our mate is angry.”I walked back into the mansion and Selena stopped me before I could enter my room.“Where exactly are you going? She asked, her eyes filled with suspicion.“And why must it be Muna that should go with you?” she asked.I could sense jealousy in her tone but I tried not to reveal for I knew that it would only get her angry.“Muna has been a member of this pack longer than anyone and knows the ins and outs of the woods
SELENA’S POVAfter I left Alpha Duncan’s tent that night, I returned to my tent and sank down on my bed, my thought racing.That was the first time we’d had a real conversation, one that wasn’t just surface level banter. And I was surprised by how good it felt to talk to him like that.I thought about the way he stood before the pack, confident and commanding, and I felt a twinge of envy when he mentioned Muna joining him.I wondered why he needed Muna, and my suspicions were plain on my face. Was there something more going on between them?I thought about when I confronted him and asked him why Muna should accompany him trying to hide my envy. Was it obvious to him that I felt bad by it?Even though he explained, I found myself growing more and more frustrated. It wasn’t just the fact that I wasn’t allowed to accompany him, it was the fact that Muna was.It seemed like he was favoring her over me, and I couldn’t help but wonder why. I was supposed to be his Luna at least not yet, b
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POVMy heart sank as I heard the words."What do you mean she's missing?" I asked, already on my feet and reaching for my coat."How long has she been gone?""No one has seen her since she left the campfire last night," the pack member said, his voice full of concern."We've been searching all morning, but we haven't found her.""I'll go look for her," I said, a knot of worry forming in my stomach. "I'm sure she's just gone for a walk and got turned around, but we need to find her."Just then Muna walked up to me and spoke“Alpha… I kinda said somethings to her last night.” She confessed.“What? What did you say to her Muna?” I asked my voice rising.“I told her that you’ll never choose her as your Luna because she is arrogant, selfish and annoying and that the only reason she is still in the pack is because she was chosen as your mate.” She confessed.“Why would you tell her such a thing Muna?” I said.Muna apologized to me as she lowered her gaze.“If I insulted her w
SELENA’S POV“Selena!” Alpha Duncan yelled as he ran over to me. “What is wrong?” Are you alright?”Her eyes were filled with anxiety as she turned to face me.“I….I’m not sure," she said. “All I remember is that I was taking a walk in the forest to clear my head and I saw a strange figure walking towards me and then he tried to attack me.“He tried to hurt you?” Alpha Duncan asked, concern evident in his voice.“Yeah, and so I had to protect myself,” I said, my voice wavering.“He was a rogue werewolf who was sent by other rogue werewolves that attacked the surrounding town. They knew we were heading to the surrounding towns to support them with whatever they needed and so he was sent to spy and so when he saw me and that I had seen him, he tried to hurt me.He kinda recognized that I was a member of the pack and so he tried to attack me.He looked serious and said, “You can’t just run into the forest at night all in the name of ‘I wanted to take a walk’ thing.” He said twitching h
ALPHA DUNCAN’S POV“What happened and where is the noise coming from?” I asked as we got to the place where the noise came from.“I’m so sorry Alpha, It was one of the pack member dropped something on the floor.” Alex replied.“It’s fine as long as no one got hurt.” I said.“No one did Alpha.” Alex replied.“So Alex, get all the other council people for a brief meeting.” I instructed.“Why Alpha. And also, I thought you were on your way to the surrounding town to help them with some supplies and all, so why did you turn back?” Alex ask“There was an issue on the way. Just get the council to attend the meeting and then I brief you on my findings.” I said.“Okay sir. I will go right away.” Alex said as he left us alone in the hall.“It was a good idea that we decided to return back to the pack house. I fear that if we had gone to the surrounding town to help them, we would have left our pack house vulnerable for the rogue werewolves to infiltrate.” Selena said.“It was…. we would not h
ALPHA DUNCAN'S POVAfter the meeting in the council chamber ended. I looked at Selena and smiled and I was surprised that she smiled back at me. I guess this might be the start of something new between us.I walked out of the council chamber and returned to my office. As I sat down to reminisce about what happened today and the result of the meeting, Muna walked in obviously angry.“Why are you helping her Alpha?” She lashed out.“Muna, I don’t know what you mean, by helping her.” I said.“I mean why are you allowing her speak when she is not yet the future Luna of our pack. I mean you made the council member acknowledge her as your luna when you said she might not become your Luna.” She said, obviously jealous.“Muna, I don’t know why you’re getting all worked up about Selena when she clearly isn’t getting all worked out about you. She is my mate and I get to decide if she would be my Luna or not.” I said.“So, what about me then? What am I to you?” She asked.“Muna, stop getting you
