Chapter 14SELENAS POINT OF VIEW IN THE WHITE WOLF, Part 1I started to hold Jr even closer to my chest when we were told that a car was waiting for us. Fabian had an inkling as to why I was so overly protective of him, but I wasn't going to tell him the truth because I didn't think he needed to know that Jr. was our son and that he was the surprise I had in store for him—at least not until he showed he was truly sorry or regretful for what he had done to me. I didn't want to be there because I had a sneaking suspicion that his parents would try to start a fight or some sort of conflict when we got in the car and drove to the pack land. Even if it meant I had to transform into my strong white wolf, I was ready for anything they threw at me. I was going to fight for and guard Jr with everything I had.Gaby and Esteban were watching me with sympathetic eyes as we drew nearer to the pack house, so I turned to face them. When Esteban asked for permission to gently touch Jr., I nodded my h
Chapter 15SELENAS' VIEW IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE WHITE WOLFWhen he calmed down, I turned around and stood as tall as my legs would allow, which was practically an alpha's height. I started to move, hearing everyone say that this was the reason I had always wanted to stay put and turned to face Gaby, Manuel, and George who were all smiling widely. Since they learned what color my wolf was, they have kept my secret hidden as if their lives relied on it. For all of my life, they have been my closest friends, and just like my family, they have always helped me out when my brother wasn't there.I was walking and there in my way were Marcos and Luz, who were looking at me with a look of astonishment and wiggling their jaws like fish out of water. Upon reflection, I'm certain they didn't want me to leave their group or even their son's life. They were making an extremely valiant effort to remain motionless as they looked at me and then at my new friends who had joined me at my side, assur
Chapter 16FABIANS VIEWPOINT: THE TRUTH SHALL EVOLVEMy eyes begged Selena to let me see the baby but she wouldn't move. My family, including my parents, brother, and sister, arrived before I even realized it. I didn't want to argue with her about it, but Selena and I wanted to talk to the baby before making a choice."Selena, I'm your mate and if you're guarding that puppy like he's yours, then I have a right to know who he belongs to and why you're guarding him in that way," she retorted. Selena, please allow me to see the baby, I requested as quietly and formally as I could. Answer the question, "Why do you want to see him?" and tell me why I should let you see him. Why do you care so much about protecting that baby, the woman questioned. I shot back, "The only thing I will tell you is that I will fight to protect that baby until I take my last breath." I questioned why, to which she responded, "Because I want to and because I was chosen to do so."And who picked you to be its guar
Chapter 17FORGIVENESS I was more guarded about Jr. as we made our way back to where everyone was. After what they attempted to do while I was away, neither my wolf nor I wanted Fabian's parents to be close to him. Every step we took toward Fabian's parents made my wolf more prepared to charge at the first sign of danger. Fabian had his hand tightly wrapped around my waist in a very protective grasp, making it impossible for me to escape. I could see from the way Fabian was acting that he was upset about what he had just learned, but I wasn't sure if he was upset with me for keeping Jr a secret or with his parents for what they had tried to do. In any case, I wasn't going to relax my guard until I knew who he was upset with."Why would you want to kill your own grandchild?" Fabian questioned, "If the mother is weak, the child will be weak as well." His father responded, "Well, she wasn't weak when she fought in her human form against the rogues the first time, when she was able to pu
Chapter 18THE CHALLENGE FABIANS' VIEWI could see Selena's wolf wanted to come out, and I knew my wolf wanted to come out too, but I was doing my best to keep both Selena and my wolf in. Even though Mark, Lupe, and the baby were also being protected, along with the future of the pack and the fact that they would even risk their lives for him, I didn't want to start anything because I knew the entire pack had our backs. Selena didn't view me as a threat to him because of what I did to her before I had my memories back, and I wouldn't trust myself either, so I would have to ask her when we were alone and I would have the courage to ask. I wanted to know what his name was.As Selena grew closer to my parents, so did the individuals who reared her and provided for her in no way. Esteban then proceeded to move in the opposite direction of Selena as I started to follow her. I reached out and grabbed Selena's hand as she was smiling broadly and I was certain she was up to something, but I w
Chapter 19SELENAS' POV: FAMILY TIMEWhen it was just the two of us, I could tell that Fabian was having similar difficulties using words and acting in social situations as I was. Although I was unsure of whether it was appropriate, I wanted to ask him what he was thinking. I couldn't help but stare at Jr. since he had entranced me, even though I was always on high alert for any threat. When I finally snapped, I looked up to see Jr. staring at Fabian next to me on the bed as he stood by the door. We established eye contact when he eventually turned away from Jr to look at us, and I could tell he was eager to get near to us and start a conversation.I asked if you intended to see your son there or stay put.Even though I did feel threatened by him, I knew he was headed for the bed because of my wolf. Junior was holding my finger in his small hand as I glanced down at him. When Fabian was lying next to the bed, he carefully shifted to the other side of the bed to help my wolf become acc
Chapter 20FIGHT FABIANS' PERSPECTIVEI was so happy to be able to hold my child in my arms that I couldn't help but smile. I was initially concerned that I might damage him while holding him, but after a while, even though it had only been for a short while, I felt as if I thought I have been doing that for a while now. I felt so connected to him while doing all of this that it felt good to be able to, and the burping part was weird but great at the same time. I once again felt afraid when Selena approached us carrying his bottle, but it was really simple to do. We put him in the crib while Selena went to sleep on the bed since I could sense she was tired and needed to unwind before the battle.She closed her eyes and I went to the bed and sat behind her, sliding my hand slowly around her waist so she wouldn't get mad at me. Exactly where I had indicated, I put my chin on her neck, and when she groaned a little, I couldn't prevent the smile that spread across my face. She moved furt
Chapter 21THE ACCEPTANCE SELENAS POINT OF VIEWYes, I had accepted the challenge to the death, but I never wanted my pack to see me as a killer since I wanted them to see me more as the one who will give those in our pack a second chance depending on what they have done. When the pack told us to kill Susy, I just looked at everyone and shook my head. As soon as I exited the ring, I ran right into Fabian's arms and pressed our lips together to declare to the pack that he was mine and that I had gained the right to represent Luna in this pack's future. The only people left to accept me were Fabian's parents, but as we drove away, I could hear the pack roaring and screaming at the top of their voices, which made me feel at home and accepted by them.As soon as we both heard someone clear their throat, we both turned to look at his parents and Esteban's family who were standing next to us. They said nothing, which left me feeling unconfident, but I didn't show it because I didn't want th
