Selina's POVEarly the next morning, Erick walked in, the young doctor I had seen the day before."Morning, Luna Selina. I'm Nora's doctor. Well, we met yesterday." He stepped in with both his hands linked in front of him. "Ah, is she awake? I wanna give her another check-up to see if I can discharge her from the Center," he said politely."Oh..." I sat up in the chair, rubbed my eyes, still feeling a little drowsy, since I had barely slept last night. "Sure... Ah, I'll wake her up. Thanks.""Nora." I patted her shoulder gently. "Nora, the doctor is waiting for you. You need to get up now.""Mommy... Is it time for school?" She lifted her sleepy eyes and asked in a small voice."No, sweetie. You're at the Cure Center, remember? If the doctor says you can go, then you can stay at home for a few days. How does that sound?" I smiled and pinched her little nose."Yippee! Ow..." Nora was too excited and forgot the wound on her forehead.She climbed down from the bed and followed the doctor

Chapter 12

Selina's POVWho could this "Luna Selina" be?Well, who else? It must be Elise!Violet's deep, menacing growl rumbled from my chest.Slowly, I turned back with my fists clenched.I had been waiting for this moment, and I needed to push the pent-up fury out of my chest as soon as possible, because it had been making me paranoid. She might have been my best friend for years, but what she did had already put an end to our friendship!Abby?..."What are you doing here?" I asked in disbelief."Well, I... I was bored at home, so I thought I could stop by Luka's office for a chat," she stammered for an unconvincing reason.Bored?... A chat? What the hell...I stared at her and couldn't believe my ears."Oh, so you were bored at home, huh? I thought you were in the middle of something and didn't have the time to bring me the spare keys!" I was almost shouting at her.Abby was really a piece of work! And for Luka's sake, I had to put up with this nightmare for years!Sometimes, I wondered if s

Chapter 13

Selina's POVI slid the key into the lock, turned it, and gently pushed the door open.The house was in complete silence, so Nora was still asleep.I breathed a deep sigh of relief as my hanging heart returned to its place. My poor little girl was still in shock, and I would do anything to make sure she wouldn't feel scared again.Carrying the shopping totes inside the room, I wasn't in the mood for cooking. I grabbed those crystal keys and headed to the Replica House. I knew that they could make perfect copies of almost everything, well, including a werewolf's scent.The shop was within walking distance, so I ran there at the top of my speed in my human form."Hey, I need a replica of those keys," I said to the shopkeeper."Yes, my Luna," the woman said in a peaceful tone, her eyes like emerald pools, which was rare among werewolves.I paused, "Have we met before?" I wondered why she knew who I was."No. Not really." She looked up and said, "It's your pheromones; that moonlit aura fi

Chapter 14

Selina's POV"I feel a little dizzy. I'm gonna take a nap." I said as I turned toward the bedroom."Hey, babe, you OK? Just go. I'll watch Nora. Later, let's go out for dinner, you know, just the three of us. It's been a while."I simply nodded and went to the bedroom.Lying on my bed, I couldn't go to sleep, and I recalled when he glanced at his keys. I could feel that he felt relieved through our mate bond.That was the real reason he came home so early today, not because he was worried about Nora, but those keys.I was certain that he had something to hide from those crystal keys.Were they the keys to Elise's place? Ever since she moved to a new place, she had never invited me over. Given that we were best friends, this didn't make sense at all.So, she must be seeing someone, and she didn't want me to meet that person...Closing my eyes, I felt so fed up with these thoughts. But the only way to end it was to confirm that Elise was that woman and catch them in the act!We had limi

Chapter 15

Selina's POVJake was a smooth operator, politically savvy, and he could talk his way out of any tricky situation.He was of average height, with a narrow face and deep-set eyes. I recruited him back when we built up the pack, so I still remember those greyish canny eyes.But his reaction just now gave me an uneasy feeling for no clear reason.We walked in and came to the host at the front desk."Good evening, ma'am. May I have your reservation?" A smart young man asked."Yes. It's Luka Wiley, at 6:30 pm," I replied."Alright, let me see... Yes, Alpha Luka booked a table by the window. Please follow me."Then, the young man led the way to our table.By the dining table, Jake bowed to us and was about to leave, but I invited him to join us.It was supposed to be a family night with just the three of us; however, since I somehow let Abby join us, why not invite Jake as well? Well, 'the more the merrier'.Since Abby picked the seat next to Luka, I had no choice but to sit next to Jake.O

Chapter 16

Selina's POVI returned to the dining table and saw that Jake was indeed missing.Abby was standing behind Luka's chair, her arms wrapped around his neck.Nora was sitting on Luka's lap, giggling.Perfect, no wonder people in his office building thought Abby was his mate.As I walked over, Abby quickly pulled her hands back and returned to her seat.Luka cleared his throat and said, "Babe, what took you so long? Are you alright? And, by the way, Jake got a call; he left first."Yeah, I knew where he went."I'm fine. What were you guys chatting about?""Well, we were talking about you." Abby ran her fingers through her hair, letting the dark cascade fall back into place.She continued, "If I were you, I would never wanna go back to work. You have no idea how lucky you are, since you have such a perfect Alpha as your mate. But whatever you've been doing these days, an Omega can do it too. So, I guess it's not so hard being a Luna."Violet growled in my chest."Well, too bad. I'm afraid

Chapter 17

Selina's POVIt was late when we arrived home. Nora had already fallen asleep in the back seat.So, after parking the car in the garage, Luka carried her into the house and put her in her little bed.I tucked her in and then went for a shower.Luka's phone kept ringing, but he only took a glance and hung it up.He paced around the room and even accidentally dropped his phone to the ground.Why was he acting so fidgety?Well, what else could it be? That woman must keep calling him!Was it Elise?Well, let's find out.Taking out my amber bee, I whispered a spell to it.Then I got into the bathroom. I could see and hear through this tiny bee. It was my 'secret drone', but I never thought I would need it.But I must keep it a safe distance from Luka, because with his sharp hearing, an extraordinary quality from high-ranking werewolves, he could easily sense its presence."You shouldn't call around this time," Luka whispered. "She's in a shower. I don't have much time for you now."I clenc

Chapter 18

Selina's POVMy heart was hammering in my chest.Elise, finally, I got you. No more shadows, no more games!"Luka? Why don't you pick up my calls? Did you fall asleep?" A woman's voice came through his phone."No, Abby. I was in the middle of something.""Huh?""Anyway, I'll call you back tomorrow morning."Abby?Abby!How could that be?!No! I almost caught them in the act!Did Luka somehow manage to mind-link Abby secretly and tell her to call him now?No way, it only worked between mates and in some other situations.Anyway, well played. She was such a good cover for Luka. What a helpful sister he got!I was this close to catching them in the act, to tearing off his mask of hypocrisy, but I failed. I never expected that Abby would call and help him out.I never liked Abby, literally from the first day I met her, because there was something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. I couldn't explain why."See? I've got nothing to hide from you. Abby calls me whenever she gets bored.

Chapter 19

Selina's POVElise?Her name flashed on my phone screen, leaving me momentarily at a loss.How should I face her now? A friend or a foe?Luka had just left home for work, and she called right away. That couldn't be a coincidence!Did he mind-link her right after he left home? If that was the case, then he must have marked her already!No, no, no. If he marked her, I would know it. No magic could trick such an important event! The Moon Goddess would forbid it!I patted my cheeks, took a deep breath, and picked up her call."Elise. What's up?" I said casually."Hey, you. How are you doing? Is Nora getting better?" Her voice sounded cheerful, and she seemed to be in a good mood.Well, she must be happy since I just had a big fight with Luka."Well, how come you call me early on a Monday morning? Don't you need to work?" I asked teasingly."Oh, come on. I'm not an AI werewolf, and I'm allowed to take a day off, OK?" She said in a mischievous tone. "You wanna have lunch together?""Well, N

Chapter 20

Selina's POVShe paused, then immediately said, "Of course."We looked around as she led the way and showed us each room in the house, and also the small garden outside.…After the room tour, the three of us sat cross-legged on the fluffy rug in the living room.Selina prepared fruits and snacks for us. We chatted and enjoyed the food together."So, are you doing OK?" Elise asked and suddenly turned to look at me."Well, yeah... Why do you ask?" I pretended to be calm."That day, at the Cure Center, you seemed..." She stopped briefly. "We grew up together, and you're my best friend all my life. So, you can tell me anything. I mean, if anything is bothering you..." She sounded sincere."I was in shock that day, you know, since Nora was injured and I wasn't sure if she was OK." I looked into her eyes, "But I'm OK. You've got nothing to worry about."Elise looked down at her feet for a few seconds, and then she said as she got up from the floor, "Well, that's perfect then. So, I'm gonna
