She remembered where they had met and thought it would make sense to revisit the field. She couldn't really get the direction but at this point, she didn't care and just wanted to get there.
Later that evening, Selene found herself in the same field again but this time, everything was different. She didn't sit and had to move all over to feel the atmosphere. The full moon was nowhere to be found and everything felt bland despite the beautiful field. After waiting for a very long time but couldn't get to see him, she stood up and left.
She got back feeling very dull. This time no one could save her from it she got into her room and had it locked tightly, climbed her bed, and then brought out that passport photograph to look at it. She tried to figure out if she had ever seen his face but no matter how she looked at it, she was sure she had never seen him before.
Tired, she thought about throwing the passport photograph away and forgetting about the one-night stand she had just had but no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't let go of the passport.
It then dawned on her.
She needed him!
What would she do now? She put the passport right under her pillow and walked out of her room to Sia's room. Sia was busy fixing some things to go visit her farmland the next day and check out her crops when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in!" she said without looking up and Selene walked in.
"Dada was weird today so I have stopped going to his place," she said as she sat on her bed.
"Everything okay?"
"Nothing is okay. I took him as a friend but all along, he only looked at me as a woman." Selene replied.
Hearing that Sia busted into laughter.
"Haha of course he had always looked at you that way. You are clueless Selene!"
"I guess I am. But now that I know, I am letting go of him."
"But why Selene? He is a good man."
"I can't have anything with this good man."
"Why do you look so worried is everything okay with you?" Siaasked after noticing that Selene had really not smiled ever since she entered her room.
"I can't let go of what happened that night. I have been restless ever since. I have gone back to that field but he didn't show up."
"Excuse me? You went back to what field." Sia asked her. She couldn't understand why Selene kept bringing up the one-night stand. Why was it called a one-night stand again?
Selene understood how Sia felt. She knew she shouldn't be bringing the night up again but she couldn't help it. She rushed to see him and tell him how she felt about that night. They never got the chance the tell each other about their feelings and it irked her. She craved his face, his touch. She couldn't think straight.
Sia looked at her friend and was at a loss for words for some time.
"Okay let's say you want to meet him. Do you know him from Adams?" she asked.
"no, I don't," Selene replied.
"So how do I help you find him?" Asia asked obviously tired of everything.
"I have a passport."
"A passport?"
"Yes, I think he forgot it. He also dropped a letter and some stack of cash for me," she said to Sia.
Sia froze.
"if he dropped you a letter and you found a photo then that's a good idea."
"I will go get them," Selene said and hurriedly rushed out to get them from her room.
When she got back, she climbed Sia's bed and placed every single item on it as well.
Sia took the letter and read it aloud. After reading it, she rubbed her forehead.
"he seems rude. I mean didn't you read the letter? He obviously doesn't want to see you anymore. I guess the cash is like some form of compensation I guess.." she said to her.
"I think so too but I don't feel the same. I want to see him. I need to talk to him I mean we need to discuss." Selene said helplessly.
Sia could see the helplessness in her eyes and couldn't help but feel for her.
She kind of understood her friend but what could she do?
"Can I see the passport photograph?" she asked her and Selene passed the photograph to her.
Sia opened the photograph but what she saw was so unexpected that she almost jumped in shock. She felt dumbstruck for a moment as she looked at Selene in shock.
She couldn't believe the kind of person Selene had a one-night stand with.
"Sia, what's wrong?" Selene couldn't help but ask as Sia'sreaction was making her feel nervous.
"I'm fine but Selene do you have any idea who this man is?"
"no, I don't but he told me his name."
"What did he tell you his name is?" she asked Selene.
"Ethan," Selene said as she tried to recall.
"Right!"
"what do you mean?"
"Selene that's Alpha Ethan! The Alpha of this pack you found yourself in. He is the Alpha of this pack and controls the life and death of everyone living in here." Sia explained to her, traces of fear could be found in her voice as Selene watched her go check out the windows to be sure no one was spying on them.
"Do you know you can get in trouble for that act alone?" she continued and sat very close to Selene to hug her.
Selene could already feel the fear Sia had in her as she felt tears trickle down her face.
Does that mean she would never get to meet the man who had all of a sudden become her dream man and the man she was beginning to love? She had to do something about this immediately.
She can't let it ruin her. So what if he was an Alpha? She didn't see him as that when they were making love. He recalled the way he was handling her the night before. It was very gentle. He treated her like the woman she was and was more gentle and patient the moment he knew she was still a virgin. If he really wanted to desert her, why would he bother to touch her in the first place?What was he doing on the field?She had lots of questions all over her head as she struggled to come to a conclusion."Selene you should go to sleep okay," Sia said to Selene as it was already late."I don't care Sia I think I want to do this," she said out of nowhere."Selene it's obvious you aren't thinking straight. You know what? Stay in my room tonight. By the time you wake up, you will be fine." she said to her but Selene wouldn't listen."I want to see him. Since he is the Alpha, let's storm his palace. I just want to see him one more time. It doesn't matter." Selene insisted."Fine. How about we
Is this true?” Joe turned to the guard.“I don’t know, sir. She came in demanding to see the Alpha,” the guard responded, glancing nervously at Selene.“Please, it’s important. I need to speak with him,” Selene insisted, her eyes pleading.Beta Joe sighed, considering. “Stay here,” he commanded, then used the mind link to inform Ethan of the situation.A few moments later, Ethan appeared at the entrance, his imposing figure casting a long shadow. The guards and omegas instinctively stepped back, creating a path for him.“What’s all this commotion about?” Ethan’s voice was calm but authoritative.Selene’s heart raced. She stepped forward, her voice trembling. “Ethan, I need to talk to you.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed. “Selene, what are you doing here? This is not the place for such matters.”“I know, but I had to see you. I couldn’t wait,” she said, her voice breaking. “We need to talk about what happened that night.”Ethan’s expression softened slightly, but he maintained his composure. “T
As Selene and Sia drove away, the atmosphere in the palace remained tense. Ethan returned to his study, his mind swirling with thoughts of Selene and the unexpected confrontation. He knew this situation required careful handling. He needed to talk to Bella, his Beta and cousin, who had always been a trusted advisor.Bella entered the study a few minutes later, her expression serious. “Ethan, what happened? I heard there was quite a commotion.”Ethan sighed, rubbing his temples. “Selene showed up, demanding to see me.”Bella raised an eyebrow. “Selene? The woman from that night?”“Yes,” Ethan admitted, his voice heavy with resignation.Bella sat down across from him, her eyes narrowing. “What did she want?”“She wanted answers. She’s been restless since that night, and she needed to understand why I left her a letter and money,” Ethan explained, his voice betraying a hint of frustration.Bella frowned. “And what did you tell her?”“I tried to explain that it was a mistake, that I have
As Selene and Sia left the palace gates, the tension in the car was palpable. The driver, sensing the gravity of their mood, drove silently, glancing occasionally in the rearview mirror.Selene stared out the window, her thoughts swirling. “I can’t believe I actually saw him,” she finally said, breaking the silence.Sia sighed, her worry evident. “I can’t believe you pushed past the guards. That was reckless, Selene.”“I know,” Selene admitted, her voice soft. “But I had to see him. I needed to understand.”Sia shook her head, her expression a mix of concern and frustration. “And did you? Do you understand now?”Selene nodded slowly. “He’s conflicted. He didn’t expect any of this. I could see it in his eyes. He’s trying to protect the pack.”“And what about you?” Sia asked, her tone softer now. “What are you going to do?”“I don’t know,” Selene said, her voice trembling. “I feel something for him, but I don’t want to cause trouble for him or the pack.”Sia reached over and took Selene
Ethan sat in his study, staring out the window at the sprawling grounds of the palace. His thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a woman strolling through the garden below. She was one of the pack members, a healer named Lila, who had always caught his eye. Her grace and poise were captivating, and for a moment, he allowed himself to be lost in admiration.“Ethan,” Bella’s voice cut through his reverie, pulling him back to reality. She entered the room with a determined look. “We need to talk about Selene.”Ethan’s expression hardened. “There’s nothing to talk about, Bella. What happened with Selene was a one-time thing. It meant nothing.”Bella frowned, clearly not convinced. “It meant nothing? Ethan, she stormed the palace just to see you. You can’t dismiss her feelings like that.”He stood up, his frustration evident. “I don’t have time for this, Bella. I have responsibilities, a pack to lead. Selene is just a distraction.”Bella stepped closer, her eyes searching his. “You’re
As Selene's days grew more complicated, her body began to betray her secret. It started with nausea in the mornings, but soon she found herself rushing to the bathroom at all hours. The sickness was relentless, and it wasn't long before her parents noticed.One evening, as she sat at the dinner table, her mother’s concerned eyes met hers. “Selene, you haven’t been yourself lately. Are you feeling alright?”Selene hesitated, her fork hovering over her plate. “I’m fine, just a little tired,” she lied.Her father, always the more observant, narrowed his eyes. “This tiredness, is it why you’ve been so sick in the mornings?”Selene's heart pounded. She had hoped to keep her symptoms hidden until she figured things out with Ethan, but now it seemed impossible. She swallowed hard and nodded.Her mother’s face softened with worry. “Selene, if there’s something you need to tell us, you know we’re here for you.”But it was her father’s voice, stern and unyielding, that cut through the air. “Who
As the days stretched into weeks, Selene's attempts to reach Ethan grew more desperate. Each time she and Sia approached the palace gates, they were met with the same unwavering refusal from the guards.“We told you before,” one of the guards said firmly, “the Alpha has made it clear. You are not to enter.”“But it’s important,” Sia pleaded, frustration evident in her voice. “She needs to speak with him.”The guard shook his head. “I’m sorry. The orders are strict. No visitors.”Selene clenched her fists, fighting back tears of frustration. “Please,” she implored, “just let us in. It’s urgent.”The guard’s expression softened slightly, but his resolve remained firm. “I can’t. I’m sorry.”Defeated once again, Selene and Sia turned away, their hearts heavy with disappointment. They walked back home in silence, the weight of their situation pressing down on them.---Meanwhile, in his study, Ethan listened as the guards reported the latest attempt by Selene and Sia to gain entry. His jaw
As the days turned into weeks, Selene's condition worsened. Her werewolf nature began to affect her pregnancy in ways she hadn't anticipated. Waves of nausea were accompanied by bursts of uncontrollable anger, her emotions swinging wildly from one extreme to the other. It was as if the wolf inside her sensed the turmoil and responded with aggression.One evening, as she sat at the dinner table, the anger bubbled up unexpectedly. Her father, ever the stern figure, pushed her again for answers. "Selene, I won't ask again. Who is the werewolf responsible for this? You can't keep hiding the truth from us."Selene's eyes flashed with a golden hue, a sign of her werewolf side coming to the surface. "I told you, Father, I need time," she snapped, her voice tinged with a low growl."Time? You've had enough time!" her father retorted, slamming his fist on the table. "You're putting this family in danger with your secrecy."Her mother stepped in, her tone soothing but firm. "Henry, please, she'
