Selene closed her eyes. His words tugged at her heart.

“I mourned her, and the pack mourned the loss of my Luna.”

“No wonder Fiona was so angry with me,” Selene sighed.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Yes, it does,” Selene argued.

“No, it doesn’t.”

Alexander’s tone was severe.

Selene looked at him and swallowed down her nerves.

“If it doesn’t matter what anyone else believes, why tell them that I am a second chance mate? That the Goddess has found you someone new?” she asked.

“You weren’t supposed to hear any of that.”

“If it doesn’t matter, then why are you so scared about what I might have heard today?” she asked, getting more worked up.

“Selene…”

“If it doesn’t matter, then why hide all of the fear and worry you have about me being here?” she asked.

Selene licked her lips and smiled at him. A look of quiet confusion and sadness.

“I didn’t realize it because I was so happy to see you again, but it’s right there,” she said, waving her hand just above her head. “Right there, dancing on the outskirts of my senses. This almost overwhelming sense of dread.”

“Selene… it’s not….” Alexander stumbled to speak.

“You didn’t want me to come here…” she said, tears slipping from her eyes. “I just forced myself on you.”

“It’s not like that,” Alexander said quickly.

“Then what is it?!” Selene shouted, her emotions starting to bubble over. “What is it that has you so scared of me being here!”

“Because it matters to you!” he shouted. His voice filled with anger and fear. “I don’t care what anyone else says or does or tries to do. I won’t give you up! But it all matters to you.”

Selene just stared back at him. Trying to understand what he meant.

Alexander took a deep breath.

“I didn’t want you to come,” he began, “because I knew how they would react.”

He clenched his jaw and sniffled.

“I knew that my pack was not ready to accept you as Luna. I knew that having to explain what happened between us would only make it that much harder for them to understand.”

“Ok,” Selene said. “But why not just tell me?”

Alexander scoffed. He looked up at her, and the moonlight reflected off the tears that shone in his eyes.

“Why couldn’t you accept me, Selene?” he asked gently. “Every time we got close, what got in the way?”

“I thought Jackson–”

“It wasn’t just him,” Alexander interrupted, shaking his head. “Jackson, your dad, our packs. It always mattered more to you what others thought.”

Selene swallowed down the painful feeling.

“I was worried that you would use this as an excuse to leave me again,” Alexander said with a tremble in his voice. “That you would hear the words, see the angry faces, feel my mother’s rage, and give up. Just like before.”

“That’s not going to happen! I didn’t know how to accept my feelings for you before!” she shouted desperately. “I love you, Alexander.”.

“I know,” he said with a nod. He swallowed and looked at her before saying another word. “But are you telling me that before you went to the Priestess after your mom walked in on us, you didn’t accept your feelings for me then?”

Selene remembered the moment she recognized his feelings and acknowledged her own. It was in her room, after their kiss, as she listened to his sincere words. It was the first time she truly understood what it meant to feel in love.

“I had,” she answered honestly.

“Then why did you lie?” he asked with a pained laugh. “Why did you tell me it was him and not me?”

Selene chewed her lip.

“He told me if I chose you, it would lead to war,” she replied through tears. Then, she quickly added when she saw how he clenched his jaw. “He wasn’t wrong! Spring and Autumn, they would never just stand by while a marriage between Summer and Winter is forged!”

“Then let them come!” Alexander shouted angrily. He took in a deep and shaky breath. “If that is the only way I can prove how much I love you and have you by my side. Then I will happily go to war with them both!”

Selene was stunned.

“Alexander…”

Alexander took in another shaky breath, pushing it back out through gritted teeth.

Selene got down on her knees before him. She put her hand on his cheek and lifted him to face her. Tears streamed down his face; his brows were creased together as he struggled to maintain composure.

“Talk to me…” she said quietly.

“I have never felt so helpless…” he whispered through tears. “I have never in my life wanted anything as much as I wanted you to say my name that day.”

Selene tried to brace her heart.

“In all the battles I have fought, all the training, all the injuries… nothing, can compare to the pain I felt when you said his.”

Selene got up on her knees, bringing her head up against his, their foreheads touching, connecting them.

“I’m so sorry…” she whispered. “I’m so sorry.”

Selene brought both of her hands up to hold his face. She pulled back enough that they could see each other.

“I love you,” she whispered. “Leaving you is only one of the many mistakes I have made since we met. But I swear, I will never make that one again.”

Alexander wrapped his strong arms around her, pulling her up awkwardly into his lap. Once he had her settled, he laid his head on her chest.

“If you try to run,” he said, “I will chase you.”

“I will only run to you,” she whispered, kissing the top of his head.

“Cheesy,” he smiled.

Alexander held Selene for the better part of an hour, refusing to let her go until she desperately needed the bathroom.

When she returned, she was shocked to find him already lying on his bed.

“How did you…?” she asked, pointing to his wheelchair sitting beside the bed.

Alexander smiled.

“Do you really think that we don’t have training for moving yourself around the battlefield in a situation where your legs aren’t working?” Alexander asked.

Selene laughed and then looked at him thoughtfully.

“What’s wrong?” he asked with concern.

Her expression cleared up, and she shook her head.

“Nothing, I was just thinking that I will need to take a lot of make up training sessions when I join Summer.”

Alexander tried to hide it, but Selene saw his eyes light up when she said it. She felt the jolt of happiness through their bond.

Selene smiled.

She moved towards the bed as she spoke.

“In fact, there are probably many things I will need to learn once I am officially a member of Summer.”

His mouth tilted ever so slightly upwards.

“There are a lot of areas of study you might find interesting,” Alexander replied, watching her as she moved toward him. “Even just in physical training, there are all kinds of tactics and strategies you’ve never seen before.”

Selene raised her knee up onto the bed.

“Are you going to teach me?” she asked, her voice just slightly lower than usual.

Alexander licked his lips.

“It would be my pleasure to teach you anything you want to learn,” he answered with a heat laced into his words.

“Anything?” she asked, biting her lower lip.

He nodded as now familiar darkness swirled in his eyes.

Selene grinned and leaned forward. She placed her hands on the bed and shifted her weight up. Then, slowly moved toward him as if he were her prey.

She positioned herself at his knees, looking at him with a devilish grin as she crawled over him, straddling his legs. She continued to move up the length of his body.

Though he had no feeling in his legs, the sense she got through their bond was that the visual was enough to entice him.

He licked his lips as she got closer and closer. Then, reached his hands out to her as her shoulders passed over his hips.

The warmth of his hands on her shoulders sent a delight filled sensation coursing through every nerve. His lips called to her. Selene found herself moving faster now, hurrying to complete their connection.

“You can’t just go in there!” a shout and the sound of the bedroom door flying open sent Selene falling to the ground once more.

“Selene!” Alexander shouted.

“Still fine!” she called back.

“What the fuck are you doing to my sister!” shouted an enraged Axel staring at them from the doorway.

“Axel?” Selene said. “What are you doing– Axel, no!”

Selene shouted as she realized Axel was preparing to charge at Alexander on the bed.

She lifted herself off the ground, and pushing off against the wall, she sent the full force of her body slamming into her brother.

“Ugh!” Axel let out a groan as his body hit the floor.

Selene rolled off of him, turning back to face him just as he recovered. He growled once more and got up to try again for Alexander.

But Selene was faster. She jumped at him, forcing her knee into his back and riding him down to the floor. He let out another groan. Then, she grabbed his arm, pinning it to his back while placing the heel of her palm against the base of his skull, holding him in place.

“Stand down, Axel!” she growled angrily.

“You know I’m your older brother, right?” Axel growled into the floor. “A little respect would be nice!”

“Don’t act like a child, and I will treat you like an adult!” Selene growled back.

“Alexander!” Galen shouted as he ran into the room.
