Selene’s POV The only difference between this pack and my pack was the fact that Lucian wasn’t an Alpha anymore, aside that everything was being carried out like he was leading a pack.It was over a month in this pack and there were several things I have observed about him and the one I had admired the most was his ability to lead. With Emily and Joan gone, I wasn’t exactly chatty with anyone, aside from Alice who was still settled in grief.She refused to be a part of the child dedication ceremony and her reasons were justified, if I was the one whose hopes and dreams were tarnished in barely three days I wasn’t sure I would want to come out myself.It wasn’t exactly my intention to come out, but Ella had a thing for parties, she had bugged me endlessly about it, and now I had to be an active participant, but I stayed at the corner as usual. With a cup of beer in my hands, and a tiny stick, I drew patterns on the floor while navigating the lines through the reflection of the fire.
Lucian’s POV I sensed her in the room. Her scent was the first thing that caught my attention, even in slumber, she walked up to me and we kissed, it was electrical, and addictive.I didn’t want to pull away, but at some point she did, ‘Lucian are you insane’ her voice was melodious, it intoxicated me even more, the scent of her skin, the tenderness of her voice.It warms my heart, her gently moaning beside me and the heavenly feeling of releasing inside her, and just like a ghost, she vanishes.‘Chief!’ ‘Chief, are you in there?’‘Chief’ her voice berated my mind, only this time it was gentle but rushed, my eyes snapped wide open. Hurriedly darting around the room.I was dreaming again…Not just any dream, this particular sex dream that had tormented me for a month now. I kept seeing her in my dream, and the more I saw her the more realistic it became.I wake up feeling like something is missing.‘Chief!’ I heard Selene's voice again.I stood up from my bed, eager to know why she
Selene’s POVHe wanted to push me away, but u was no fool I could see right through him.“You promise to tell me if you feel uncomfortable with the training, I want to know if it's too intense, you will take a break after every ten minutes, you are bound to exercise and you will be on a strict diet of highly healthy food—“You are not allowed to oppose any of this laws, you must have more than eight hours of sleep, and a lot of water. And I want to see your regular checkups is that clear” “Is that all?” I asked.He matched towards me, “What do you mean is that all, if you break any of this rules, you won't train again until I let you is that clear” “Yes chief, and I swear on that”He walked toward the pack exit so I followed him. He was tense all the way there but unlike yesterday he wasn't gloomy so rather than letting us walk in silence I chose to start a conversation.“So about the sex slave, are you going to tell Alpha like that Alexander is also a part of this slave trading sh
Selene’s POV “Are you hurt?” He asked again.“No, I am fine, what happened you zoned out for a minute I thought something had happened to you I was so worried” He left my shoulders then he faltered backward again, he sagged to the floor, his fingers forked his hair as he pulled the strands of his hair.That gloomy look I saw last night was back again. Something was wrong , Lucian I was keeping something away from me.“Are you okay?” I squatted to his level, and I held his jaw, then lifted it so he could see me, but he removed my hands immediately, then took out a dagger from his boots.“Here, your push up sucks, you will do ten reps of that when we are done with the training and when we are done, you can go back to the pack, you are to do this training repeatedly till you can do it with your eyes closed, but for now let’s do the basis” He ignored what I had asked him just like he always did, he went further into the field then he brought a log with a solid bottom.He positioned it
Lucian’s POV She had just gone down on her first push up, she sucked so much at this but as always her flimsy efforts were funny.She had stood up then punched me playfully on my chest, she wrapped her arms around me, then placed a kiss on my forehead, and my cheeks, I pulled her closer.“Your arms are weak, do you know that? It’s bad for a lady who wants to lead, you need to be able to fight, and be worth being fought for” she kissed me again, stopping me from saying anything.“You will always be here to protect me right?, you will always fight for me” she said close to my lips, her teeth gently holding unto her lower lips, I wanted to pull them into my mouth and suck on them gently.“I will set the realm ablaze for you” I confessed to the bride kissing her.“I love you Lucian, I have always loved you, just you and no one else” she whispered beside my ear, my body felt calm as she whispered those reassuring words, it was all I ever wanted to hear.“I will always love you,” I respond
Lucian’s POV After Pike's decision to stay for a little while to gather his weapons news, staying back and being placed on pause seemed like torture, and the incident that happened with Selene on the field, I had to stay away for a while. Till I found the herbs to calm the effect, it had been a week since I last took it. And today I dedicated my time to finding it while going to hunt.It was very early in the morning, and the sky was bright and beautiful, as always, the poison had expanded, and tying it didn’t help anymore, so the herb was needed, at list to curb the effects, I couldn’t afford to lose my cool anymore.All along I have had those zone out moments, in private, having before her in such a realistic way was so scary, I was too expensive to risk, so rather than seeing hold up as torture I chose to see it as a means to prepare myself mentally. I wanted to flex my wolf today and since Selene had disabilities and hadn’t been trained for hunting, it was only logical that I ma
Chapter 101Selene POV I knew Lucian was avoiding me due to what happened during our last training. He was provoked by my words. I poked the wrong buttons but it was for a good cause.Well, it was bound to happen either way. If he were honest with me from the beginning, maybe I would have gone easy on him. But he chose the hard path. Just now, he evaded my gaze and paid attention to my little Ella. Seeing him act all sweet towards gave him a softer look.After he left with his group for their hunt, I decided to take a walk down to my healer ward just to get my mind off him for a while.My mind has been filled up with his strange behavior towards me lately. Especially when he avoids my questions.I tried to focus on my healing process, going through some old books and jotting down some healing recipes.While I was taking notes, I began to feel dizzy and hot. I fanned my face with my hand, trying to understand why I felt so sick all of a sudden.I got up to walk around, but fell to t
Selene POV I headed down to meet Lucian. He was in the midst of his group who went hunting with him. They praised him for his expertise. I watched him from a distance as he adorned in their praises.‘What do you think?' I asked my wolf as I stared at Lucian.‘Nothing, I can't feel his wolf. But I think he is in pain. He is suffering inside, badly.'‘what do you mean?'‘I can't explain it to you. I am as confused as you are. Maybe, he is hurt or something. He might have injured himself while hunting.'Estel 's reasoning was quite plausible but knowing Lucian, an injury would be a less problem to him let a lone painful.It is very difficult to understand the ways of him. Today, he would be different, gentle then next time he turns into a prickle on my skin.‘I think it is best if you find out about his pain if you are so curious.'Estel muttered, increasing my curiosity. Why was he in pain? I furrowed my brows at the thought of it.I wish I could and get a good answer from him as well.
Selenes POVI had to believe I did what was best for me and my child, I did the only things that would guarantee her a good life and a safe life from all the struggles of heartbreak. She is innocent, and not only will her innocence cause her future heartache as it had cost me, it will keep her on the same path as I was.She was already attached to Lucian; if I let her get any closer than she already was, she would be heartbroken when he eventually leaves. I can’t have her questioning her love or her ability to be loved, it took me coming back here to realize Lucian left a gap in my heart that I had ignored for years. I would rather die than watch Ella question herself the way I did.In two months, this was the most dangerous thing I had done. I had my daughter in a truck, and I told her we were playing a game where she has to be quiet. I woke her up from sleep the moment I walked out of the room, and as lovely as she may be, she agreed. Excited, she let me cover her in flowers.And I
Lucian’s POV That night. What does she mean that night? We didn’t have sex, the dreams it was all in my head, I can’t be responsible for that child? It belongs to Alex.The child belongs to Alex not me, unless the dream wasn’t really a dream, that night with her in my room, the scent of her skin on my sheets…Shit! Shit!!How did I miss it, why didn’t she clean when I asked what happened that night, she should have told me rather than keeping it to herself, how was I supposed to know she was pregnant for me if she didn't tell me.My heart felt like it was going to explode if I didn’t do anything about it. If she was right and that child belonged to me, then I needed to make it right, I had no idea we had sex.So many images flickered in my mind, it had to be accurate, talking about Joan, the time she came to me to confess she was pregnant, I thought her tantrums were spelt out of hormonal distress.I thought when ladies were pregnant they lost their minds, mostly when the environmen
Selene’s POVIt felt like everything inside of me was drained. So was my will to move, today anything, I ran my hands down his back, back and forth causing him to jerk again, I felt him release all over again, his weight pressed me to the bed, his hands holding mine in a tight knot.His lips met my neck, as he placed tender kisses on my skin then back on my lips. It was a vulnerable moment, yet again, I had gotten myself beneath him, letting my emotions get the best of me.His lips met mine in a passionate slow kiss. I tried my best to pull away, but I could do so little in such a case, I kissed him back, tenderly, my legs wrapped around his waist, he was still inside of me cumming inside of me.He was still in a loop of climax, at least he didn't sleep just yet, like he did the first time we were in a similar position, now that I thought about it, why were we always heated up after every minor separation?The first time we had sex, he had gone on a hunt for new rogues, and I remember
Selene’s POVI didn’t avert my gaze as I would normally do, it was now or never. "I said what I said, Lucian: You are afraid of being liked; you are afraid of taking responsibility, and you hide it behind all this ego of yours that is currently taking place of your sense of reasoning." Tears lurked around the corner; it was the first time I truly confronted my feelings.His eyes blazed with fury as he glared down at me, every muscle on his face contorted. But I held my ground.“You do not have the right to judge me for leaving when all you have ever done was use people to get power, just like your marriage with my brother." the stench of liquor mixed with the weight of his allegation.I shoved him hard, causing him to falter back on his feet. He tripped over a bottle, which was kicked to the curb immediately. I was furious. I was accused and nearly murdered for being infidelity, but the same brother accused me of using, maybe it was a family trait now.“Rebuke what you just said, Luci
Selene’s POVIt was finally confirmed that Lucian was sick, no more lying and pretending, and with that out of the way, I also had to keep the guard who he sent to me, his daughter and Sophie had a hut to themselves.And while he had to stay with a cohabitant who was staying alone, as usual the rogues here were accommodating and he came on the day stories were told in the pack, Ella had offered a new friend some of her toys and while everyone was gathered two nights after their arrival a truck drove into the pack.It had everyone on alert, it was Lucian. The thought of it flooded my mind with such surreal calmness, and for the first time in days I actually smiled, I felt relieved and excited. I stood up from where I sat and I walked over to the spot where the continuous revving engines resounded.Lucian stepped out of the car but I could barely see him with the multitude of wolves howling and cheering with excitement.After what seemed like forever people finally made way, that was wh
Selenes POVIt was yet another day without any news from Lucian, no words across the borders concerning his whereabouts. But as I had earlier stated in the last meeting, if Lucian doesn’t come back tomorrow, then that confirms my suspicions about his whereabouts; then he must have been wounded or captured and he was in grave need of assistance.Presently, while I tried to run the pack affairs and put everything in order, I met the likes of Alice in the little confinement built for her by Lucian before he left and I slid a plate under the bars. I hated to see her in that position.“How are you doing?”Her skin was pale with scars all over,as much as I wanted to relate to what she was feeling, I simply couldn't.“It’s for the best, trust me, going back to Alex is the same as dying. You don’t want that, and your niece is here, she wants to talk to you, its been over a week now, and she hasn’t seen you, she has also had traumatic experiences as you have.” I started and watched her body ea
Lucian’s POV I was offered a robe and my mask on my way out by one of the ladies who were commanded to wash me earlier, I wore it before I came out of the pack house where the rest of the pack was. When we finally got to the front, I made her kneel before her people.“People of Fae Pack, I did not come to take your queen away from you all, but I believe we all know we are way past our natural agreements, your ruler killed a king and a friend of mine out of greed. And I came before you to make it known to everyone that from today onward your pack will undergo a new recruiting process for leaders, because your queen will be joining your late king soon.” Like one would expect, the pack cheered and only a few grumbled to this message. This was the same fate Alex was heading to if he didn’t treat his people right, you tend to lose respect.“All of you will suffer! Every one of—“ I pulled out a sword from one of the guards who stood close to me and I slit her throat before she could say a
Lucian’s POV Her back was pressed against mine, and I held a dagger to her neck close enough to leave a mark but not close enough to cut through unless she made a stupid move. She knew she had a low probability of walking out of here alive because she had committed way too many crimes.“What are you waiting for? Shoot him!” I held her neck tight, my eyes shot at the guards who dared to move forward.They wouldn’t pull that trigger, not because they liked me, but simply because their hate for her superseded her command. I noticed when the girls were commanded to clean my body and when the guard ran out of the pack room after I killed the beta.“You fools! Kill him!” She shouted again.I narrowed my eyes to them, they lowered their guns immediately, placing them beside them. I stood up from the bed, making sure to hold her in place. Her legs kicked my crotch in anger, the pain was mind-blowing, but rather than reacting to the pain, I held the dagger closer to her neck, making sure it p
Lucian’s POV Everything before me seemed to blur, it zoomed in and out, I held in it, I needed to stand my ground with all that was going on, it was only just the beginning and the queen had made it clear that she was going to exert her revenge,she obviously couldn’t take what she dished out.She had killed so many people who were undeserving of her cruelty but the death of a brother had turned her into a container for pain.Silly.I was dragged to her room, and was dumped on the floor, a wave of cold air blew over my face. It relaxed my nerves but the pain still lingered, causing me to rock back and forth, shriveled and tormented by the pain and the wolf’s bane.But something ticked in my mind I wasn’t confined to anything.“Escarno. Come out.” I said in hopes that I would gain some sort of fighting ability while I healed from the insides, but he didn’t respond.“I know you can hear me, we need to leave.” “Oh wow, so you no longer fear that I would kill someone, the last time I trie
