Selena's POV

"This day you shall lose all your powers. You've committed the greatest of all atrocities, " I roared at Xaren, secretly hoping that this all was just a dream.

Zane couldn't just die.

"You'd do no such thing, not in my lifetime," he replied, pacing around the cave, his face set for a battle. "He's dead, just face it. Soon enough we would attack and conquer the entire race. You're at a loss Selena, face it."

I stared at the lying body of Zane, the only Alpha who stood against the rogues. He just couldn't die.

"You'll never win. You use dark powers and never would it overshadow the truth. Rogues would never outweigh the free born."

" Oh yes they will, Selena. Infact they've already done that. Look around you and tell yourself the truth. Zane's dead. He was our only obstacle as in his pack resided the chosen seer, but now it's all over, he's dead... " he paused, his eyes locking with mine. He turned fully towards me, making me move back.

    Selena's POV"Selena, think about all the powers you'd get if you... if you stop this and join us now, " Xaren tried to day amidst the draining of his powers to the Aeges stone.Walking slowly towards Zane's lifeless body, I replied him. "You know, Xaren. You really had the guts to think I'll join you against the free born werewolves." " Don't do this, Selena. The entire rogues scattered round the continent would come after you! That's a promise, " Xaren threatened, his powers being zapped into the Aeges stone."Let them come, we would be ready," a familiar voice replied him, sending a waving shock through me."Zane!" I called, lowering myself to him and planting a long kiss on his lips. "How... how did you?" I paused, planting another kiss on his face."The moon goddess, Selena. It simply wasn't my time to go. My destiny hasn't been fulfilled yet,"Zane replied, sitting up with an effort."I love you Zane, I've always did!" I exclaimed, slowly putting both my hands on his face."I've

    Rowan's POVSurrounded by the familiarity scent of leather bounded books in the study, my eyes wandered around the room, my ears taking in the crackling sound from the fire place. The creak of the wooden desk, the musty scent of aged parchment, all so familiar yet odd.The wolf I was gifted by the seer was beginning to wane in it's duties, never ready for action. Words are beginning to go round that I'm no longer fit to be the Alpha of the pack."No," I muttered, striking my fist lightly on the desk. "I won't let that happen. I won't lose my place in this pack. Never."Still tangled in the thread of my thoughts, the door of the study creaked open."Rowen. What's this I hear?" Raven asked in her usual telling manner." And what, my dear, did you hear?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders."The elders and warriors now say in open without hesitation that you do not deserve to rule us. Tell me it's not true, is it?

    Rowan's POV"Raven! no!," I screamed, tearing through the wolves that had surrounded me and rushing to her side. She had let out a painful cry and fell to the ground, sending chills through all my warriors as they intensified their efforts against the rogues."Attack and cover!" the lead warrior cried again as the warriors continued the fight while I tended to Raven. Her body was lifeless, her limbs numb.Quickly, I took her to a safe corner and with a fierce determination I charged back into the battle, my claws moving in rage in and out of the rogue's necks. The rogues seemed relentless but I fought with anger and every pounce of strength I had left. I could feel my heart pounding and my senses heightened as I clashed with the rogues."You..... you think you're smart huh? guess you're the alpha.." one of the rogues spat, feeling his blood on his own hand. I had torn his neck almost into equal halves with my claws. I growled. rushing at him with such speed that he dropped dead in

    Selena's POVXaren was no longer a threat to us, for now are least. Walking round the courtroom, memories events of the immediate past flooded my head."Zane would have been dead and gone," I thought to myself, shivering at the very thought. My eyes wandered, taking in the whole courtroom. The high ceilings, adorned with intricate gold leaf and precious gems, seemed to close in around me. The air was thick with the familiar scent of wolves, strong wolves of war, for this was where deliberations were made concerning battles and retreats.Slowly, I paced around the room, my footsteps echoing off the cold, marble floors. The throne where Zane sat was empty, thoughts of his permanent absence filling me again.Walking up to the throne, I couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence wash over me. The chair, with it's intricate carvings and designs was the single symbol of authority and order in the pack.Slowly, I stretched my hands towards it, feeling it's plush cushions as it seed to exud

    Selena's POVThe figure I saw in the mirror was perfect. It was almost the exact combo Raymond had always seen me on. The wig was perfect, the close loosely fit bit not too baggy, and the boots seemed to add a nice touch of ruggedness to my overall appearance. "Hmm," inhaled, taking a thorough look round myself in haste. The warrior was standing just outside the door, waiting to lead me to the injured."Not too bad," I said to myself, sniffing around. Something was still wrong. The perfume.I knew for sure that Raymond might start to develop doubts if the smell changed. Surely he would.Quickly moving to the other side of the trunk, I rummaged it again. "One more minute. Won't take more time I promise! " I cried out to the warrior outside." All good my lady, all good, " he replied, his voice betraying his words and showing the sense of urgency.A life was involved.Finally finding the bottle of perfume, I removed the stopper, inhaling the rich, earthly aroma coming from it.

    Selena's POV"Her wolf is gone. I'm so sorry," I said to them, getting up to my feet. "No, that can't be. She's to be my mate!!" Rowan's lead warriors ranted, his eyes filled with rage. "You can't do this. She wasn't dead before you came around. You can't leave her in this manner!!" He tried to move forward towards me but was held back by his men."You did this to her!!" he continued, struggling in the hands of his men.I gave reply to him as I turned and headed to the chariot where Rowan sat. "I'm sorry, I tried all I could," I said to him. His face was covered in the royal cap he wore."She was all I've got. All," he managed to say to my hearing, his face still covered. "How do I live without her?" I couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for him. "You can live without her. You've lived without someone you...." I paused, structuring my words properly. " loved once."He sat upright almost instantly. "Who do you refer to, Seer?" " You know of course. Your first mate. You've lived

    Rowan's POVHe cleared his throat, but I noticed the added depth in his voice. "I think it's time I built the Lupercal," the seer said, looking away from my eyes and taking an authoritative posture, his head up and his hands behind his back."Hmm, why do you think so?" I asked, turning to the Seer fully."Well, with all the appellation I've gained among your warriors and eventually all your people, I can say that this surely is the best time to fix a healing facility amongst them," he explained, his gaze strong and assertive, with raised eyebrows. I studied him the more after noticing a slight crack on his chin. "What do you say?" he suddenly asked, his voice suddenly bringing my attention back to his eyes. "Alright," I muttered, adjusting my pose to look more authoritative. "I'll see what I can do about it. I'll surely get back to you later." "No Rowan," the Seer quickly interjected before I could even turn my back on him. I looked back at him, a shocked expression on my face. "The

    Selena's POVAs I walked through the forest, the trees loomed above me like sentinels. My mind, more like a rumbled of thoughts, played back the whole events with precision.The disguise was perfect, it's part played with pure expertise, although I felt his gaze travel down my chin for some reason. Left for that, Rowan saw nothing but a male seer who had his personal interest in front. As I walked, the trees seemed to close around me, their branches tangling together above my head as I walked back to the pack house. I tried but failed in taking my thoughts away from Rowan, his piercing eyes and strong jaw. Sometimes I just thought that the weight of my disguise was bearing down on me. I just wanted to pull them off and run to him, feeling once again his masculine pose and muscles.But no, I could not let these stupid feelings take over. They are and always will be remnants of my past. Rowan and his sister, their sins against me must be paid back for. He threw me out when I needed hi

    Zane's P.O.V.As I stared at Karen's entrancing stride toward the Aeges stone, a chill of dismay and confusion crossed my mind. What in the world had pushed my sister to such an extent of yearning for power?I thought back to our childhood, growing up together in the pack. Karen had always been ambitious, but a sense of loyalty and duty to our family and pack had tempered her drive.But as time wore on, Karen's ambition soured into a hungry lust for power. Karen became a cruel, anything-to-reach-her-goals kind of person who didn't value anyone else that stood in her way.Was this some dark magic she had been reading about, or was there more to this? Had Karen always been like this, and I hadn't seen it?I just stood there, frozen in contemplation, with Karen's words echoing through my head: "The power of the Aeges stone will soon be mine." I knew that I had to thwart her, but another voice within me asked what could make even my sister go that way.Was it for the validation, for the r

    Zane's P.O.VI whirled, my heart racing as Karen's voice cut into the silence. "Zane!"Her eyes narrowed, her brow furrowed in worry as she took in my form standing before the stone Aeges. The calm after the storm."What are you doing here?" I tried to sound composed instead of surprised.Karen's eyes darted to the stone and back to me. "I might ask you the same thing," she said, an accusation laced into her tone. "You know this is a sacred place."A surge of wariness entered my mind as Karen seemed to stare into mine as if she could read into them. "I came to meditate," I said, trying to remain neutral.Karen raised an eyebrow. "Meditate? With the Aeges stone?" Her voice just oozed skepticism.I steeled myself and looked right at her. "I needed direction," I said matter-of-factly.Karen's face was a little softer then, but more of a calculative expression. "Direction?" she repeated. "From the Aeges stone?A prickle of apprehension rose as Karen drew closer, her eyes bright with curio

    Zane's POVDeep in thought, walking further along the gardens, thinking deeply of Karen, then Selena and also the pack Moonstone. But somewhere somehow my consciousness urged and called for my appearance in front of the hidden cave which held Aeges.I had not been in the cave for ages, and I did not know why this sudden urge had overcome me to go there. Yet, something in the serenity of the garden and the quietness of the evening called me toward the cave.I made my way out of the garden and through the palace grounds, my feet carrying me with a sense of purpose to the cave. The sun was much lower now, casting long shadows across the ground, illuminating the trees in warm, golden light.As I walked, the trees grew closer together, and the air grew cooler and damper. I could hear the sound of running water up ahead, and I knew that I was getting close to the cave.Finally, I came out from behind the trees and had the entrance to the cave before me. The opening was a huge, yawning mouth

In strode a tall, towering figure in piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair, arresting all attention.Karen's eyes slitted as her gaze settled on the newcomer, curiosity and suspicion warring for dominance in her gaze. I, however, knew the emissary from the Moonstone pack, and I nodded in greeting."Hello, Zane," the envoy said in a deep voice that rumbled around the room. "I come bearing a message from the Moonstone pack's alpha, Rowan.Karen's eyes snapped to mine, a spark of interest igniting within them. "What does Rowan want?" she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.Turning toward Karen, his manner was courteous but formal. "Rowan seeks the helping hands of your workers, Zane, to start the work of a new healing center, one for both our packs," he said. "He requests that you send a team of skilled workers to assist in the b

    Zane's POVI sat on my throne, my eyes fixed on my sister Karen as she paced back and forth in front of me. Her face was twisted with anger and hatred, her eyes blazing with a fierce intensity."Zane, you have to do it," she said, her voice low and urgent. "You have to sentence Selena to death."I nodded solemnly, trying to keep my expression neutral. I knew Karen had no idea that I was the one who helped Selena on that fateful night. And I was not about to let that secret out now."I understand your concerns, Karen," I said, trying to sound as serious as possible. "But we have to make sure that we follow the proper procedures. We can't just sentence someone to death without a trial."Karen's face turned red with rage. "You're not taking this seriously, Zane," she spat. "Selena is a threat to our pack, to our very way of life. She has to be stopped."I nodded again, trying to appease my sister. "I understand that you're upset, Karen. But we have to be careful.

"So Seer," she said, her eyes slightly narrowing as she turned toward me. "What is your intended course of action in our pack?A feeling of wariness rose up, as though there was something not quite straightforward about her question. I didn't immediately answer, taking a little extra time with my choice of words."I plan on helping the pack however I can," I said, trying to be as vague as possible. "I have certain. abilities that may be useful to the pack."Elara's eyes seemed to bore into mine, as if rummaging for any hidden motives inside me. "I see," she said, her tone dripping with skepticism. "And what makes you think you can help us, Seer? We have struggled with certain issues, and we have not been able to find a solution for them.I sensed that Elara was trying to probe me, testing whether I knew more than I was letting on.

    Selena's P.O.V.As we rode through the pack on horseback, Rowan took the lead on his own horse while I was on my horse right after him. The pack watched as we passed, curiosity and reverie upon their faces.He led the horse along twisting pathways, showing me landmarks and various other features. I followed him on horseback, scanning the surroundings.We passed a huge stone fountain where some of the young wolves were playing and laughing with each other. We passed several cabins built of wood, every one of them having various wood carvings with colors and bright tapestry.As we approached the Great Pack House, I could feel the strange energy emanating from that building-a sense of power and history that seemed to seep from the very stones themselves.Rowan drew rein, stopping us in front of a large pack house. Turning to me, his pride showed in his shining eyes. "Welcome to the Royal Pack House, Seer," he said, proud, his voice low. "This is the centre of our pack, our family home wh

"There's more to you than a seer."I gave no reply to him as I silently led the horse to into the pack, trying hard to avoid the gazes of the people."The Seer's here. It's him," the pack members murmured as I rode alongside Rowan into the pack."The Seer would bring fortune and good tidings, blessings to you Seer," a little werewolf exclaimed, waving at me with full energy. I smiled down at her little face, memories of the pack I was born and bred flooding me. A wave of nostalgia washed over me at that point as i still galloped on the horse. The familiar buildings, scent damp earth and wildflowers enveloping me.I was home.Still on the horse, I closed my eyes, letting the memories flood into my heart and consume a greater part of me.

Rowan asked, peering into my eyes intently as he leaned closer to me."There's something I feel I should know, Seer."I couldn't hide my surprise at his question, and I quickly looked away, trying to compose myself. "I'm fine," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just a little...preoccupied with the construction plans."Rowan raised an eyebrow, his eyes glinting with skepticism. "I see," he said, his voice dripping with doubt. "Well, if you're sure you're okay...then I'll let it drop. For now."I felt a shiver run down my spine at his words, and I quickly looked away, trying to hide my reaction. But as I glanced back at Rowan, I couldn't help but feel like he had seen right through me.And as I turned my horse around, preparing to leave, I couldn't shake the feeling that Rowan was watching me, his eyes boring into my back like a brand.I urged my horse forward, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as I put distance between myself and Rowan.
