They got into a marathon towards the North Forest. The wind was now very strong and the weather was awful. Selena was pretty sure a storm was coming, but she didn't want to think about that. There was a lot on her mind already, and think about what could complicate things wasn't something she wanted to do.Everyone had shifted into their wolf forms and were walking together amongst the trees on the deepest part of the forest.Looking up, it was impossible to even see the sky because of the tall and robust trees. Lucas was somewhere in the front, leading his pack. Clifford was ahead of the allies, while Selena was guiding her pack. There was a lot of excitement and nervousness around, but they tried to stay positive. They were all fighting for something they believed in, so it was worth it.After long minutes of walking, the group sensed that the North Forest was a few steps ahead, but there was still no sign of Shane and his pack.Selena even thought that the information they got wa
Selena roared very loud, suffering at the lost of her friend.But she simply couldn't move. All the moments she passed with Gerard during her whole life came back like a blow.She wanted to cry so hard, but the tears didn't come out. She was numb.Shane looked at her, and she could sense the happiness he exuded from his eyes.Selena was about to go after him, but at that moment, she sensed some movement behind her back, and that took her attention away.She looked back and saw a wolf coming at her very fast. Selena didn't even have time to think of defending herself.While Selena tried to prepare for the impact, a wolf with cream fur came from her left side and knocked the wolf that was about to attack her, tossing him far away.Selena looked at the cream wolf and instantly recognized who it was. Those eyes couldn't deceive her.It was Demi. And she had just saved her.It took a while for Selena to comprehend what happened. And she did the best she could to show gratitude through her
"LUCAS!" she yelled inside her head one more time, and the white wolf lying on the ground opened his eyes slowly, but closed it again right after.Shane hadn't seen Selena yet. She was still behind the tree, and the caramel wolf was very concentrated on the wolf under him.What would she do?She had to take Lucas out of there and take him to Joseph immediately, but she had to deal with Shane first.He was saying something to Lucas, but she couldn't hear it. She was numb. All her senses were frozen, like she didn't know how to move or act anymore.Her mind was a mess. She still didn't believe Gerard was dead. And now she was seeing the same scene again, but it was Lucas this time.Lucas opened his eyes again, blinking slowly, trying to do his best not to turn his head in her direction. He could feel her presence there, although he was feeling very weak and dizzy."Baby, you need to stop him." she heard his faint voice inside her head, and that energized her like fuel on fire."Oh, my G
Shane looked at her for the first time in shock and scared. But he still had that look of contempt towards her.Those eyes never showed her anything but arrogance and scorn, like he was the most powerful person in the world.Selena felt his body getting heavier, like he was losing the strength to stay up. So she shoved her claws even deeper, thinking about everyone that had been killed because of that man.He wouldn't be able to do anything of that sort ever again. She made sure of that.When Shane's body collapsed on the floor, not able to fight back anymore, Selena shifted to her human form, to say the words she wanted to say before he died."I'm glad I'm the one that kills you. A woman that just wanted to live a simple life, in peace with humans. Your pride brought you here. You should have known that we are not better than anyone."Shane could barely keep his eyes open, and blood was coming out from his mouth."You can die now knowing that you failed. Your plan failed. Our species
Selena opened her eyes feeling her head as heavy as a watermelon. For a few minutes, she couldn't figure out where she was.Then her sight adjusted to the light, and she saw herself lying on Grandma's bed.The room was very dark, with just a ray of light coming from the hallway under the door.Apparently it was night, but she didn't know of which day. How long had she slept?She tried to get out of the bed, but her whole body was sore and she noticed a few bandages around her legs and wrists.And then all the memories from the war came back at her like a hurricane. All those images filled her mind again and Selena started to cry.She cried so much and so loud, that her whole body trembled from her sobbing.Someone entered the bedroom in a hurry and hugged her, but she couldn't see who it was. Her sight was blurred and she couldn't even pay attention to the newcomer.And apparently they put something on her vein and she slept again.When she woke up, she was feeling a bit better and her
Selena screamed for Joseph, who got back to the bedroom in a hurry, thinking that something bad had happened.He examined Lucas once more, seeing if he showed any changes on the diagnostic, but there was nothing.Joseph just said he was doing great giving the circumstances, it was just a matter of him deciding to wake up, whatever that meant.So every day onward, Selena went to visit Lucas and talk to him during the whole night and a few times during the day as well.Even though she was still recovering, once she felt better, she got up to lead the pack.She had to deal with the funerals, offer her condolences to those who had lost someone and help the pack to get back on its feet.She thanked the allies over and over again, until they went back to their own villages.And Selena also had to deal with Lucas' pack. Since he was at her house, she had to go to his village and talk to his people about his condition.Joseph was staying with him the entire time, so she felt the need and the o
Selena couldn't stop staring at Lucas. Seeing those dark blue eyes opened, gave her all the joy she was expecting to feel once the war was over.She told him everything that happened while he was unconscious; the funerals, the talk with Demi, and all she went through while thinking that he would die at any moment.Lucas stroked her hair gently, while she cuddled with him, narrating what happened after he blacked out at the forest at the night of the fight.Joseph had come to check on Lucas once more that night before he left to his village. Selena told him he could go home to see his family and that she would call if anything happened.She would pass the night by his side, making sure he had every support he needed while recovering. Even though Lucas had woken up, he was still very weak and with a lot of pain.The wound on his heart was healing, but slower than usual. "I honestly thought you had died after Shane tossed you away. I didn't allow myself to think about that at the moment,
The week passed very fast for Selena, since she had a lot to do and plan.Despite all the things she had to organize for the wedding, and also help Lucas with his recovery, they had to prepare the packs for the moving.Lucas had gotten out of bed and asked a few of his loyal men to come to Selena's village to check the property and prepare for the expansion.They had to build more houses, expand the limits of the village and bring the families in.So both packs were very busy during that month. Lucas recovered completely after a few days and started to help more with the manual labor, while Selena helped the women to pack their belongings and prepare to move.There was also the wedding to prepare, and she was starting to go crazy. There was not enough time to do everything at once and the wedding was getting behind, since the moving was the first priority.She also had been wanting to invite Maddie over, but she wouldn't be able to give much attention to her friend while the construct
