Chapter 17
Selena POV:
“Shit!” I yelled. I jumped in fright from finding Duncan standing only a few feet behind me. I put my hand over my frantic heart, hoping to calm its heavy beats and slow my breathing down to a normal rate.
His stoic expression turned into mild displeasure. He crossed his arms over his chest in what felt like a show of it from my response to his sudden appearance.
I was embarrassed by my squeal and felt like I had made a show in front of him once again. My cheeks were aflame and I had to look away from his gaze.
“Apologies for sneaking up on you,” he said in such a low voice that I had to wonder if someone had forced him to come over and speak to me. But he was the Alpha, there was nothing that could force him to do anything. Or that was what I assumed.
My eyes flitted away, not knowing how to respond before looking back at him. He waited patiently for me to look at him before he started to speak again.

Selena POV:Meredith woke up an hour after. She slipped into her chair, slouching and resting her head on the table, still sleepy. “Are you still sleepy?” I asked as I took a sip of the tea I had made. She sucked in a deep breath and nodded. “It was too draining for me yesterday. I am rarely around so many people, so it is hard for me to have so much noise around me.” Again, she sighed. I had to say that I felt the same. Finally, she stretched and got up from the chair, the wooden legs screeching at her movement. She poured herself a mug of tea and then sat down. When she was awake, she spoke, “So, ready for a lesson?”“Sure,” I said confidently. We got up from the table and made our way to the greenhouse.As we reached the middle of the room and near the circle, Meredith stopped and turned to face me. She had my complete attention and our fatigue was completely forgotten. I want

Selena POV:When I woke up the next morning, I stretched before going down. It had been a few days of training with Meredith and I was doing pretty well in the magic area. Meredith’s compound flourished with fruits and flowers and nausea I had felt before slowly melted into something poignant. Something that ran through me without hurting me in the least. I was slowly learning the various herbs and plants that witches used to enhance their magic, not having used any of them yet. To familiarize myself with them, I tended to each and every one, getting to know them after introducing me. It had been fun. This morning, I was again alone. Meredith was sleeping in and had told me we wouldn’t be training. I didn’t think much of it and started to prepare breakfast. I had taken to cooking for both of us, feeling like a burden on her. I started with making a dressed fruit salad, some fried eggs, and a tall glass of juice. Both of us enjoyed light meals

Selena POV:I looked at the clothes and then slowly put myself in the first one of the lot. I had only been allowed three at a time, so the rest was still in Duncan’s hand. In the background, I heard a female scurry out of their cubicle and speak to the person standing on the other side. “Honey, do you think I look fat in these jeans?” the girl asked. There was silence on the other side before the guy coughed. “You look fabulous,” he said with practiced precision. Though I didn’t understand the situation, the general tension in the air told me it was something bad in the human world. I shrugged and pried the door open. Duncan’s head propped up and he looked right at me. I opened the door a little more and showed him what it looked like. He frowned as he moved forward, tugging at the sleeve of the shirt. “It’s okay. Can you stitch?” he asked. I looked at him dumbfounded.

Selena POV:I walked through the front door in a bit of a daze after Duncan dropped me off. Before I could walk upstairs, I heard my name being called from the back of the house. I made my way slowly to the kitchen where I knew I would find Meredith. Meredith was at the small table, sorting through kitchen supplies. She looked up at me with a tired smile. “How was your day?” she asked. I noticed that she looked like she hadn’t slept in days. Her eyes were bloodshot with dark circles underneath and she also showed signs of crying. “It was interesting,” I told her, trying to keep the emotions out of my voice. I wanted to know what had happened to her while I was gone but she didn’t look like she wanted to talk about it. “Oh? Did you learn anything new about werewolves or humans?” she asked, getting back to her unpacking.“Yes. I learned about human behavior and stuff like that. I realiz

Selena POV:I woke up the next morning, feeling a moment of panic. I must have been really tired as the memory of falling asleep was lost to me. I tried to sit up but the covers were firmly tucked around my body snuggly. I doubted that I had moved all night. It was only then I realized how anxious I had been to go out. It had sucked all my energy out. Looking over at the clock, I saw that I had five minutes before the alarm was supposed to go off and decided not to wait. Untangling myself from the covers, I looked down and saw that I had sweated through my clothes. I gradually went through the motions before going downstairs, feeling as though there was a weight attached to each of my limbs. Ed was concerned when he came to pick me up for training. “I feel so tired today,” I said softly, trying not to sound like I was whining. Looking at the expression on his face, I had to assure him. “I’m okay… Still feeling a l

Selena POV: The rest of the lunch was relatively quiet. I noticed that Duncan was nowhere to be found. And Neo wasn’t bothered that he had to take up this urgent role to train the kids in place of the Alpha. He took it in stride. Ruth kept giving me sly looks when she thought I wasn’t looking. She was making me extremely uneasy as I wasn’t sure what was going on in that crazy head of hers. I was relieved when Neo asked her to follow him back into the woods. Ruth seemed to want to follow. But even though she was coming along, at least I would be busy with training, so any further interaction would be minimal. I wondered if I could skip on the meal from tomorrow so that I wouldn’t have to sit with all of Ruth’s hostility directed at me. It was wearing at my appetite. Walking into the clearing once again, I found that Duncan was already there. He was setting up a board and writing stuff on it. Various stretchable bands lay on the floor and the instructions on

Selena POV:I almost felt sorry for Ruth. Seeing her brought so low made it so, but thinking of the girl who had almost hurt two pups from the pack, I couldn’t bring myself to support her. Instead, I felt my stomach clench thinking that the joke was probably meant for me. The fire had just grown irritated and moved erratically, hurting others instead. What was wrong with this girl? Was she so consumed with the need for attention that she had to commit acts that could hurt other people? “Neo, take Ruth to the house. We will have a hearing about her conduct,” Duncan commanded, lightly pushing Ruth over to him. She didn’t give another excuse but willingly left with him, knowing she would be in for hell if she lingered around Duncan for a second longer. I turned away from the party, moving quickly towards where I knew Meredith still was. I needed to talk to her immediately about me being able to handle fire without any prior practic

Selena POV:Ed was the first to arrive, striding into the kitchen looking severe, but it was only because he was worried about me. He came over and looked me over, placing his hand on my shoulder for a reassuring pat. He told me that he heard a little of what happened during the lesson, but not the details.“When everyone gets here, I will retell it, but not until then,” I explained. “Okay,” he said, taking the seat beside Meredith and me. We stayed close to each other until the door opened once again. A group of voices could be heard coming from the entryway as the three of us made our way into the dining room. Duncan, Neo, and another man walked in at the opposite side of the room moments later. Duncan came in, talking in lowered voices with the older man. Neo seemed to notice me and came over quickly. “Are you okay? I was so preoccupied with what happened that I didn’t check in with you,” he said quietly.
