Selena blinked a few times to make sure she had listened correctly.She wasn't going to fall for that. She couldn't.Demi was just trying to make her lose control. And Selena wasn't going to give her what she wanted.But it was getting really hard to control herself.She was now feeling a burn sensation on her stomach, like there was a beast inside her trying to get out."I just think you don't want to accept what's right in front of your face. After all, he is with me now, not you." Selena provoked.Demi gave her a smile in return. And Selena wanted to break all those teeth.All Demi had to do was to provoke Selena until the point where she couldn't control herself and attack Demi. As an Alpha, Lucas would never let anyone hurt one of his people, not even Selena.Demi was willing to get herself hurt to win his affection. That would be a worthy sacrifice."Don't flatter yourself, dear. That's the way he is. At the end of the day, it's me who listen to his worries, it's me who comfort h

Lucas regretted at the moment he left Selena behind.She looked so desolated and when she begged him, he hesitated for a while.He wanted to looked back and comfort her. He wanted to hug her and say he believed in her.But he had a duty as an Alpha, and Demi was hurt.He couldn't turn a blind eye to that.Lucas knew how Demi was, and she always liked to plot and cause intrigues. He wasn't so alienated like he pretended to be.But he couldn't pick Selena's side at that moment. What would everyone from his pack say if they knew he left Demi there, injured?Of course he was mad at Selena for falling into Demi's trap and for losing her cool.He didn't think she would fall for her teasings.And the fact that she didn't say anything about her powers to him was also bothering him.Why couldn't she trust him? Not that he was in a place to complain, since he was also keeping a lot of things from her.Demi talked a lot all the way home, but he didn't listen a single word of what she said.He wa

Selena didn't go to college for the next few days. She couldn't imagine how she would face Lucas after that argument at the football field.There was also the whole thing with Demi. Selena still didn't get how she could possibly attack Demi with that much strength and without shifting into her wolf form.Something like that had never happened before, and she couldn't feel more frustrated with her powers.She couldn't ask anyone for help, because no one would understand what she was going through.Her best friend was the only constant in her life, as Grandma still hadn't come back from her secret and mysterious mission.Maddie kept sending messages to Selena to know what happened and why she wasn't going to college, but Selena only said she needed a few days off because she was going through a lot at home.It wasn't necessarily a lie, but Maddie didn't need to know the details now. Selena would have time to talk to her later.Then she texted Selena one day, saying that Lucas seemed to b

Selena got on her feet instantly."What did you just say?" she murmured, still trying to understand if what she heard was correct.Maybe she misunderstood something. It was really hard to understand the whole story.Grandma pulled her back and made her sit again on the bed."Don't make a lot of fuss about it here. Someone can hear you.""How do you expect me to react to this? You can't just drop something like that at me and expect me to be calm." she whispered back angrily.How could she suggest something like that to Selena?"Grandma, he already hates me as it is. Imagine what he'll do if I try to take his place. He'll burn me alive." "He won't do such thing. We have rules, and even though he is not the best leader, he does follow the rules."Selena looked at her confused."What are you talking about?""Most of werewolves' packs have rules about their Alphas. Of course it is something you're born into, but as time passed, some of us realized that some Alphas lead their packs to ruin

Selena knew at the moment the car started to move, where Lucas was taking her.She had only been there once, but she memorized the path anyway.It didn't take long for Lucas to park the car at the top of the hill, at his secret place.They could see the whole city beneath them, but now the view was different, as the sun was still up in the sky.The city looked different somehow, but the place was still incredibly beautiful.Selena was staring ahead, trying to observe how the humans down there lived. A lot of traffic, honks and people walking everywhere, doing their own things.Lucas leaned his elbows on the fence in front of them and looked at the same direction as her.They stayed like that for a while, only feeling each other's presence, without a single word being said.He was afraid to start talking and that it would be the end of them. As soon as she stated it out loud, it was over.At the same time, Selena was really anxious. He didn't say anything the whole way up there, and she
