Filed To Story: Destined Bond with My Forbidden Alpha Novel (Alpha Alexander & Selene)
Selene laid back in bed, resting her head on the pillows as he crawled over her. He pulled down the sheet. She wore a tank top with no bra. Alexander slipped his fingers under the hem of the shirt, lifting it up just under her breast.
He leaned forward, his mouth hovering just over her stomach..
Selene chewed her lower lip as her heart picked up its steady rhythm.
“And if you were carrying our own little pup, right here,” he whispered. The heat of his breath tickled her and sent small shockwaves shooting over her body.
She drew in a shaky breath as he pressed his lips to the soft flesh of her stomach.
Selene closed her eyes and arched her back, lifting her hips toward him.
Alexander smiled and kissed her stomach once more.
“If….” he whispered before pushing off the bed and standing back up. Smoothing his shirt and pants as he headed to the door.
Selene felt him moving away. She opened her eyes and looked toward him, her glance filled with desire and anticipation.
Alexander smiled as he reached for the doorknob.
“If only,” he winked at her and left the room.
“Alexander!” Selene growled and threw a pillow at the door.
Another week had passed, and still, Selene hadn’t found a way to properly connect with or accept the power that Lily and the others offered.
It was becoming a point of frustration.
She tried again to meditate, to call forth the power and accept it as a part of herself.
All around her was an empty space, filled only with her own presence. Then, far off, at an unspeakable distance, she heard the howl of a wolf.
‘My Luna,’ she thought.
She felt a strong urge to run, but towards it or away from it, she couldn’t tell.
A soft light began to take shape not far from her, and then another, and another. Still more appeared.
Finally, Lily appeared before her.
“Interesting,” Lily smiled. “You managed to call us separately.”
Lily looked around at the soft balls of light that surrounded her.
“We are separate, and yet still one,” she whispered.
“Is it good?” Selene asked. “That I somehow called you separately?”
“I’m not sure,” Lily replied honestly. “I told you; you are different than every other descendant.”
“What about Axel?” Selene asked. “You said he accepted and embraced his power. Did he do something like this?”
“No, Selene.” Lily shook her head. “Axel never denied us. On the contrary, he accepted us right away when our power touched him.”
“How?” Selene asked. “What am I doing wrong?”
“I can’t answer that,” Lily said.
Selene sighed.
The howl echoed in the darkness again. Selene lifted her head, trying to glean at least a direction.
‘Hunt it,’ a voice whispered.
“What?” Selene asked.
“What?” Lily replied.
“Didn’t you say something?”
“No,” Lily shook her head.
As they spoke, two balls of light came together, blending into one.
“What’s that mean?” Selene asked.
“Again, no clue,” Lily admitted.
‘Find the Luna, make her submit.’
Selene furrowed her brow, she stared at Lily, but Lily seemed to have neither said nor heard the words as she looked carefully at the ball of light that had previously been two.
“How?” Selene asked the voice.
“How what?” Lily asked, looking back at Selene.
Selene looked at Lily, then shook her head as though clearing away a thought.
“How… did Axel know your power? How did he recognize it and accept it?”
“I don’t know,” Lily sighed. “When he was made Alpha, our power became available again.”
“Again?” Selene questioned. “What does that mean?”
Lily looked carefully at Selene and then turned away.
“Ask Axel,” she said.
Another howl, Selene turned toward the sound.
‘Find her!’
‘Make her submit!’
“Selene!” Lily called to her.
Selene turned. The look on Lily’s face was surprised and concerned.
“Don’t listen,” she said.
Lily stepped between the glowing orbs, an angry smile on her face.
“I hear you now,” she whispered. “I know your game.”
Lily stood tall and placed her sword down into the earth below her feet.
“Return to me, now!” her eyes glowed brightly.
The orbs immediately flew back to her, each being absorbed into her body. The one that had combined seemed to try to resist, but in the end, Lily was stronger, and it was absorbed with the others.
“What was that?” Selene asked.
“I told you,” Lily replied, pulling her sword and placing it back in its sheath. “Your ancestors are stubborn. They each have their own thoughts on how to convince you to accept what we offer. I want you to accept it because you’re ready.”
Selene sighed.
“So, Axel was ready?” she asked. “And I’m not?”
“That’s up to you,” Lily shrugged. “He didn’t know he was ready. It wasn’t the same as you. He didn’t talk to us like you do.”
“Then how do you know he accepted you? How did he know?” Selene asked frustratedly.
“I don’t know what to tell you, Selene,” Lily sighed. “His acceptance of his mate and us went hand in hand. I don’t know what prompted his reaching to us–”
“Wait!” Selene interrupted. “Did you say… his mate?!”
Lily’s eyes went wide, and then she took an exasperated breath.
“Talk to your brother, Selene!”
Selene opened her eyes and found herself back in the meditation room.
“What the f–”
Her thought was interrupted by her phone ringing. Looking at the caller, Selene quickly answered.
“Bell!” she said.
“Selene!” Bell laughed.
“Sorry, I was… surprised.”
“Ok then,” Bell smiled. “I’m just calling to find out if you will be in Winter for the Wild Hunt this year. We need to know the numbers to make all the food and sleeping arrangements.”
Selene thought about what day it was. The hunt would be at the full moon. It was only another week.
She smiled.
“Oh yes, I will definitely be home for the hunt.”
Alice watched from the treetops. She had noticed them more than an hour ago. But, so far, they hadn’t noticed her.
The girl was skilled.
She had carefully moved along the trees. So quickly and with such a light foot, the snow did not fall from the branches to reveal her position.
Alice knew that there were at least four others with her. The scouting parties of Winter always had at least five. Unlike Spring, who often sent scouts out alone, believing them less likely to be spotted this way.
It was true. But, it was also much easier for those scouts to be killed or die from an accident without the aid of a team. That, however, was not the primary concern of Spring.
In fact, every scout was required to make hourly notes and place them in a small container at their waist. The opening at the top allowed the paper to be slipped inside, but the only way to open it was with a device kept by the scoutmaster in Spring.
It also had a tracking device inside of it. That way, their task was still completed whenever the dead scout’s body was recovered.
Alice was not required to carry one of these containers. Instead, she was programmed to defend her life and return to Spring at all costs. If she could not do so, there was a failsafe.
A command that would erase her entirely. Leaving her an empty shell with no memory or likely any brain function left.
Or at least, there had been.
Alice had spotted two other scouts on the other side of the ridge. But unfortunately, they were not as stealthy as their female counterpart.
Luckily, the people they were observing hadn’t noticed them.
Down in the valley below were the targets of both the Winter party and Alice herself.
It was a rogue encampment. Larger than most.
An unusual sight to see. Most of the wolves gathered were nomadic, not generally willing to be a part of a group or a pack. But these seemed to have been here for at least a few weeks.
Tracks leading in and out of the valley had all but disappeared, showing that there hadn’t been much movement in recent days..
Alice put her hand to her hip in a subtle and slow motion, resting her fingertips on the small dagger she wore there.
