Garter Belts

SELENA'S P.O.V I cleaned out the guns and daggers, laying them out on the floor in the room. I stepped back, my eyes taking in the weapons. Most of them were my hunting gear, as I have had no use for weapons in five years.The sun was already coming up, and tomorrow would be the full moon festival. I put the weapons away, then crawled into bed next to Amanda.I held her tight in my arms, my fingers gently caressing down her hair. Will there be a time after she is grown enough to understand when I will need to understand?She had never really asked about her father, but sometimes, it feels like she may be filling that spot with Alan. As much as that was the most sensible choice, I knew deep down that I would hate for her to not know Alpha Cole. Maybe not the man that he is right now. But maybe the man he used to be. The man who had treated me like a human.I closed my eyes. Deep down, I knew I was lying. I knew I would never be able to use a weapon on him. Not if his eyes were still t

The Ultimatum

SELENA'S P.O.V The dance troupe proceeded to the palace, and I joined, quickly learning their chants as we made the short journey to the palace.Soon enough, the palace loomed in front of us. I stopped for a second to catch my breath, my chest heaving. I still knew the palace like the back of my hand. Like someone whose life had revolved around this place and not once had I questioned my place till it crumbled around me.We entered through the servants' entrance after a quick security check that was more of a formality than anything at this point.We were arranged behind the banquet hall, and I finally stopped to let the emotions crash over me.Alpha Cole was in there. He was somewhere close, and I might even see him close. There was no chance he would recognize me. But what if...I shook my head. This is not the time to get distracted. I need to break away from the dancers and go to the dungeons where I knew Mila, Lily, Sarah, and Gabriel would be, and then try to bring them out. Th

What You Moaned in My Bed

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V Selena. Selena is in my palace.My eyes thinned as I looked between the women in the dungeon and the soldier still lying unconscious outside. He had been carefully tucked away, and he had a single hit to the side of his neck. Like the edge of a dagger.That was Selena's signature. I couldn't count how many times she had done the exact same thing right in front of me.She is definitely close. Do these people know her? Or, after five years, is she about to show her face to me and make demands?"Alpha," the woman standing by the cell said, her eyes wide. "Sarah will come with us. Please. We understand that you have been as kind as possible, but please let Sarah come with us too.""It is absolutely her choice," I said simply, my eyes darting around. No trace of Selena. "By tomorrow morning, you will be released. You can convince her by then. I will have someone bring you the feast from the full moon."I turned away, then stopped and turned back, my brows furrowed. "Wha

Playing Chess, Playing Catch Up

SELENA'S P.O.V "He is gone," Lily said, darting back to where I was.I immediately pushed myself out of the bed, my chest heaving as I looked up to Lily and Mila. The dungeon fell silent for a long moment as we all sat around, contemplating the odds.By tomorrow, they would be free, but Sarah... she did not look like someone who would be able to make it home without Gabriel.Not when everything happened so suddenly. "You need to leave," Mila said suddenly, turning to me. "We will try our best to convince Sarah. By tomorrow, we will be home."I turned to Gabriel, my chest heaving hard, and then Sarah. Both looked absolutely shattered."Why can't we take Gabriel home and punish him there?" I asked, fully aware that I was grabbing at straws at this point."Because he killed Alpha Cole's soldiers, not ours." Lily stood up and pushed the dungeon gates open."Leave, Selena. Alpha Cole is not going to be hospitable once he sees you here. He already picked up on the change of scent. We will

Misery's Companion

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V The dungeon gates opened, and I walked in, then lowered Selena to the bed. Her hand dangled off the edge of the bed, and my ehes narrowed as I took her in. She had a new scar that I knew nothing about, and something about that only made this whole thing heavier. That she has five years worth of time on that body that should have been my own every second.I swallowed hard, my chest tightening. I could kill her right now. I could wrap my hands around that beautiful, elegant neck and snuff the life out of her like she did with Beta Ian.My hand slowly rose, and all I could do was push away the strands of hair that fell to her eyes.Damn you, Selena. Why are you back? How dare you? Why are you real? Why do you own me?"Alpha," Beta Sean said, his voice low as he entered the dungeon after me."Yes?""The ball is halted. Everyone is gossiping about what happened. What do you want me to do?"I slowly turned to him. "I am not sure, beta. Maybe asking Isaac would be good?"

When to Mould Iron

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I had barely closed the door of my room when it opened again. I turned just in time to catch Sylvia's hand mid air, probably a few seconds before she could make the grave mistake of slapping me."How could you?!" She screamed, her voice cracking. "I am the woman who spent the last five years dealing with you! I am the woman who spent the last five years being utterly in love with you, and you couldn't even give me one dance?! You had to dance with the woman who killed your beta and...""Get out," I said, my voice low. "I already have a headache, and I don't need your yelling around me. Get out of my room and take it up with your father.""If you have a problem with my father, why are you taking it out on me?! I am not him!""You are everything he stands for!" I stepped closer, my anger threatening to break through. "You look like him. You act like him. You are the same entitled brat you were five years ago. There has never been a moment of growth for you. You are t

Execution Day

SELENA'S P.O.V I watched the cloaked soldier as he briskly walked out of the dungeons and locked the gate behind him. Prisoner's dinner? In the middle of the night? Delivered by a guard who smelled like Alpha Cole always did right after his showers? The pretty vanilla scent of his soap mixed with the ice of his wolf?Fresh tears filled my eyes as I looked down at the tray in front of me. Premium ribeye steak with sautéed vegetables and a side of caramelised onions on a primarily onion sauce."You still remember," I said, my chest heaving. "You still remember even though you tried to kill me."I closed my eyes, the tears filling my eyes faster again. I didn't yell again. I couldn't. My throat was raw, my heart was broken, and I hated him. How could he come back here, trusting that cloak to shield him away from me like the things we shared were simply surface level?I pulled the tray to me, and I ate slowly through my tears. He still made his onions too sweet. But his steak was perfect

What Hurt You?

SELENA'S P.O.V Murmurs erupted in the execution ground. I looked around. Both Isaac and Sylvia were notably absent. What could have happened that Alpha Cole would end up that hurt?Alpha Cole took a seat, then gave a small smile. "A few days ago, it was reported to me that three of my soliders were attacked by a hunting group at the border where they were stationed. One died immediately. The other died a day later. One is still receiving treatment. I was visited by the representatives of the rogue group that the hunting group belonged to, and they brought the culprit to me. Apparently, it was a classic case of a young wolf losing control. It got so out of hand because no one noticed the aggression."His tone was measured, and he sat up, his eyes scanning the entire ground. A hush fell on the crowd as a soldier walked up to where Gabriel was standing, his hands tied behind him. Slowly, the black material was removed. Gabriel's eyes opened, and he immediately took a step back, a screa

One Night

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, my eyes thin as I took in the reflection of the man staring back at me.I could see the way Beta Sean's body had hit the floor, the way Selena had gotten on him, the way her fist had coloured in the vibrant red of his blood.Am I crazy for thinking it was the most beautiful thing ever? The sheer strength of her body, the way her thighs had ensured he wouldn't be able to leave... the way she had taken down my enemy like she used to five years ago, even now that she was solidly part of my enemies?I closed my eyes. You are despicable, Cole. But that was old news. I already knew.I gently peeled off the bandages on my face to reveal the marks of nails that Sylvia had left yesterday when she had slapped me. It hadn't required such large bandages, but a man in my position would clutch at straws and stoop to cheap tricks."It's working," came Evan's low voice. I looked up to meet his eyes in the mirror, and he immediately b

A Transaction of Kisses

SELENA'S P.O.V Maybe the right response to the man who had abandoned me five years ago was to push him away. Maybe it would have been appropriate to freeze in place and let the kiss end lukewarm. Maybe anything else. Anything else might have been more appropriate for our circumstances than the moan I let out of his name.My back hit the opposite wall with a soft thud, my fingers immediately lacing into his hair, like it was always meant to be there. Like the ghost of five years and the distance and the hatred had faded to nothing in the face of this one night."Cole," I whispered into the kiss, my heart threatening to break out of my chest.My lips parted, his taste invading me once more. Slowly, he broke the kiss, his fingers still cupping my face, his face resting against mine. His breaths came out in short bursts, and his eyes remained closed for a long moment."Cole," I said again, the sound proving too soft for the silence in this dungeon.His eyes opened, dark blue ruined by
