All Selene Hallow ever wanted was to once again feel the warmth of a home, to be loved and accepted for who she was. As she harbored a talent, many considered a curse. After being passed from one relative to the other when her parents died, she finally ended up with a distant aunt in the town of North Ridge peak. Given a chance to start a new, she wanted to live a normal life, but things turn out for the worst as the town was not at all what she thought it was. Added that her aunt had secrets of her own. Her predicament continued to go awry, as she gets thrust into a turf war stemming for a hundred years already. Along with catching the eye and interest of the leaders of the warring factions. Caught between a fight, she struggles for her life, as fate seems to have once again played a wicked game on her. As she discovers that her lineage is something far from ordinary.
View MoreIn the midst of the crowd, Selene stood like a statue. With an awkward smile, unlike the others there who were letting it all out, raving to the music and just going all out.She hugged herself, all the while roaming her gaze to the surrounding people. She looked so out of place, similar to a fallen petal sailing through raging waves.“Come on. Your alpha orders you to have fun!”Duncan nudges her to move.He can’t believe she’d stay so prude, even after being surrounded by so many individuals in heat.Selene bit her lip, still shifting her gaze away from him. She tried to let out a laugh, but ended up in a sort of giggle.“This is just so new to me.”She says biting her lips afterwards, all the while keeping her head low.Duncan swallowed hard, suddenly hit by realization. He’d been gawking at her all this time, only noticing it after being awestruck at the sight of Selene fixing a piece of hair that slid down her face.He only became aware of it when everything around him seemed to
Selene’s smile was wide with glee and fascination. This being the first festival she’s ever been to, she could not help but get sucked into the liveliness and joy of everything that was happening.She kept looking around, enjoying the scenery while sitting on one of the picnic table atop a small cliff.This gave her a clear view of the concert party down below, all the while savoring the foods the place offered, as there were stalls set up nearby offering free food.She didn’t wonder why the entire celebration was happening in the middle of the forest, nor did she bother to ask the reason for being left there, as all she can think of was how mesmerizing and fun everything was.“You seem to be enjoying yourself?”A deep voice came out from behind her, rippling through the loud music, breaking through even among the cheers and chattering of those around them.Her heartbeat nearly stopped, recognizing who it belonged to, shuddering because of the sudden heat building up from within her.
Waiting on the outskirt of town. The black sports car parked deep in the forest, hidden within the trees near the main road. Leaning on it was none other than Duncan.A prideful grin written all over his face while looking out into nothingness, remembering the glory and victory he got during the incident in the mansion.His attention immediately shifted, seeing the vehicle approaching his way. He quickly straightens, putting on his serious expression.Julieta kept her composure, yet the tiredness and disappointment remained etched in her eyes, even underneath her stoic facade.“How’d it go?”Duncan raised a brow, noticing this.For the longest time, the female had been caring for him. This was the first in a while that he’d seen her so agitated.“Forgive me alpha. I wasn’t able to get anything from those old hags.”Julieta was now on her knees, gritting her teeth in sheer annoyance and rage.She never like those priestesses as she considers them no different from the witch Penelope an
Four hours passed, but they remained driving on that long winding road with nothing but trees, mountains, and grasslands from afar.“Where are we going, miss Julieta? I thought we’d be returning to the mansion?”After contemplating her predicament, Selene finally garnered the strength to say her concerns out loud. Especially after they passed by a large sign showing that they were entering the town of ‘Moon Peak’.“Hush girl. You are in no position to speak.”Julieta quickly throws a sharp gaze her way.It felt so intense it made her shiver in her seat, making her lower her head in shame and fear.“Sorry, miss.”Selene returned her attention to looking out the side-mirror. The black sports car which followed them. Somehow, seeing the vehicle put her at ease. Yet she still can’t shake off that odd sensation she’d been getting from it.Her mind was so focused on trying to see who was in it, she hardly noticed them stopping until she hears the door opening on the driver’s side.“Where he
Leaves rustled, dancing on the call of the blowing wind. Besides that, everything remained eerily quiet. Though Selene couldn’t truly be certain, noticing several shadows moving behind some trees.For the past hours, she kept looking out the window whenever she had the chance. She understood the consequences of her recent actions, but she regretted nothing, seeing as her aunt seemed to have returned to her lively and energetic self.The woman was currently in the kitchen, while she stayed at the house’s foyer, pretending to sweep the floor, though it was spotless.A day already pass but there have been no signs of people coming to their place, making her more anxious.Only when she hears the loud clanking sounds did she snap out of it, nearly causing her to jump in a hurry to the next room to see what happened.“Aunt Pen, are you all right?”Panic covered her, seeing the woman on her knees, shaking and gasping on the floor while hugging herself. Her eyes were bawled out, as if in shoc
After the case in their estate, Duncan got thrust into another meeting because his father needed to focus and take care of all the issues in their own territory.As the only son and heir to the shadow bane pack, he couldn’t say no to the summons, especially since it came from one of their close allies.Now left with making certain there was no evidence of his recent encounter, as it would strike an enormous blow to his image and persona.“Are you sure?”He asks with a deep frown, raising his hand to the beta in front of him to let him smell his arm.They were still in his room, only having finished his bath, and were now choosing what clothes to wear.Though confused, Ben Lenox again took another good whiff on his alpha’s skin, his nose twitching and creasing every time he’d get struck by his leader’s powerful musculine odor.“Yes, alpha. The only trace I get from you is the smell from the cellar.”No matter how many times the beta check, he could not find anything that might be worth
Teeth grinding, Duncan continued mumbling and cursing underneath his breath, all the while looking out the window.Thankfully, he escaped his predicament out of sheer luck.He couldn’t believe he’d lose himself like that. Still unable to comprehend how a mere human can cause him to react that way.Puzzled, he closed his eyes, recollecting all the things that have happened, searching for any clue that could give him an explanation.It all started when Duncan’s territorial instincts kicked in. Hearing some footsteps along with the smell of another male sent Duncan into a wild and daze frenzy, ready to kill for being bothered like that.Without a thought, he rushes through the hallway, accidentally clawing into a barrel. The liquid in it spilled on him, and that brought about a flash of reason into him, yet his rage stayed because of being disturbed while in the middle of a mating.He continued charging, increasing his speed with each second as he shifted into his beast form, ready to ri
Daze and light-headed. It took a few minutes before Selene’s senses returned. When she came to, everything was silent. Though tired and weak, she forced herself to look around, hoping to make out what had happened.She realized she was now all alone in that dimly lit room, after not seeing any trace of Duncan anywhere.‘Was it all just a dream?’ she thought, but then the icy touch of the room’s cold air creep all over her. It brought a sudden ache all over her body, reminding her of all those odd movements she’d done a while ago while being at the mercy of the young alpha.Thinking about it only sent another wave of those delectable bolts all over her, making her whimper in need and craving.Again, the voices inside her head emerge, searching for Duncan’s warm and sensual touch, aching to for those salacious fingers between her legs, and wanting to have the heat of his tongue on her skin. Her subconscious begged for that unfamiliar and mind blowing sensation that the young man had gi
Weakened, gasping for air, and nearly unconscious, Selene continued to force herself to move, aware she needed to do something or at least explain herself. Thoughts plagued her when she had trouble moving.She didn’t expect her legs to suddenly lose it strength, after catching a waft of that strong wooden and chocolaty aroma. But what confused her was the sudden jolt inside her after taking in that decadent scent.‘Did she get poisoned? Did she trigger a trap of some kind?’These were just a few of the things running through her mind moments after falling on the ground, especially since this all happened when she inhaled more of the alluring aroma within the room.It was also the closest explanation she could think of, after her body had suddenly become riddled with an unknown tingling sensation, accompanied by an intense fiery heat that emerge from deep inside of her.The only thing confusing her was the fact she was having an immense sense of pleasure and need rushing through every
