Chapter 11 / Kaelen- / I had grown overly suspicious of the masked beta ever since I saw him choking Selene . I knew they were both hiding something , but I couldn't place my hands on what it was yet . The room was quiet after they left . 59 55 vouchers I walked to the door and looked around to be sure no one was eavesdropping before shutting the door and returning to Thorne . " You mind telling me who she is ? " Though my voice was low , the hint of disapproval was evident . " Who ? " " Oh come on , stop faking it . You know who I'm talking about . The pretty lady that introduced herself as your fiancée . " " Oh , Elara . She's already introduced herself ; what else do you want to hear ? " Thorne said , sounding completely nonchalant . " You are joking , right ? Our mate is right there , hum ... " . " She is not my mate ! " Thorne groaned . " It's okay if you want her as yours , but me ? It's a no - no . Besides , I think the moon goddess should have given us separate mates ; we don't have to share that ugly being . " ' She's ours ; you need to claim her , my wolf growled . ' Can't you see that Thorne is being hesitant ? ' I replied using our mind link . " Thorne , for crying out loud , we both felt that pull , we both perceived the scent . Now you suddenly have another woman ? You will bring doom to us . " My jaw was clenched , so were my fists . " I'm done with this conversation , but if you insist , then I think you should leave my chambers . The mate bond should do its worst , but I won't spoil my name by having a mate like that ; she's weaker than an omega ! " " You should say that to the moon goddess , but you can't have someone else when she's still alive . " I threw my fist in the air in a bid to explain myself . Thorne hissed . " Mark her then , since you are so desperate that you will settle for someone like that , but bear in mind that after her four weeks elapse , she will definitely die , except you want to fight both I and the throne . " 11:28 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 11 59 55 vouchers I bit my lower lip . There was absolutely no need to talk about this with Thorne anymore ; his mind was made up . " How did you meet Elara ? " I changed the topic of discussion . " The beta bought her for me . " " You are ridiculous , " I scoffed . Funny ! Weird too ! " Use the door if .... " " If what , huh ? " I interrupted him quickly . " Of course , that's what I have to say : that you bought a random person because of your damn reputation ? " " I won't tolerate such words from you , Kaelen . I ... " I didn't let him finish ; I asked the next question immediately . " How did you know where that sword was ? How did you know the direction to face ? And how were you able to walk back to your chambers after the fight without support ? I demand the truth ! " Thorne exhaled deeply . " I totally have no idea . My wound even healed on its own ; it has never happened before . " " Is there something I should know ? " I muttered . I drew closer and reduced my voice . I didn't trust the walls of his chamber . Thorne exhaled sharply . " Immediately she came in , my whole sense heightened . I began to feel everything as though it was happening on my skin . " " She ? You mean Selene ? " Of course I knew he meant Selene ; I only wanted him to admit it . Maybe , who knows , he might change his mind . " Yeah ," he muttered reluctantly . I felt cold shivers run down my spine . " It's the mate bond . I know you felt it , stop ... " " Argh ! " I and Thorne screamed in unison , clutching our chests as though our hearts were about to fall out . " Selene " , A soft gasp escaped my mouth . 11:28 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 11 Something was wrong , and I needed to find her immediately . 59 E 55 vouchers I rushed out immediately , running as though my life depended on it , and followed the scent and pull that led me straight to her . It stopped when I got to the end of the courtyard , and I saw Selene asleep on the cold floor . I walked slowly towards her . Why had I felt that pull as though something was wrong with her when she was sleeping peacefully ? Her small body frame coiled as though she was freezing . What was she doing outside ? Running from her bullies ? I was still processing my thought when she began to shake and jumped up in fear . " Selene " , I whispered . " Kaelen " , she cried and hugged me tightly . Her whole body was trembling . She must have had a very terrible dream . And that means I could also connect to her even when she is fully asleep . " I'm here now , it's okay . " I said the words repeatedly and kept patting her back . She cried for minutes , but I didn't let go . When it seemed as though she had calmed down , I offered to carry her to her room , but she blatantly refused . " I can go by myself . It was just a bad dream ," she protested , " Okay ," I answered and went ahead to carry her like a bride to her room . The side talks from the maids were disgusting , but that wasn't what I had come for . I lay Selene on her bed . " Learn to stand up for yourself ; no one would do that for you . Stop passing out in random places like that . What if I wasn't around ? " She didn't say a word , obviously still shaken . 11:29 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 11 " Good night , " I whispered and made to leave , but she quickly held me back . " Please stay with me for the night , I need you ." 59 55 vouchers At that moment , I noticed how beautiful her eyes were . I knew that beneath that outward look of hers , was a girl , beautifully made . We just didn't know how to bring her out of the curse . She looked up at me with so much innocence and plea in her eyes that I had no choice but to succumb to her wish . " I will never leave you . It's okay . " " Promise ? " She said with her clouded eyes . I don't know what came over me , but instead of replying , I took possession of her lips . The kiss was hungry and desperate . ' Mark her ! Make her ours , ' Abbey , my wolf , kept pacing in my head . ' Shut up ; can't you see what I'm doing ? ' I warned . Selene didn't resist . It was as though this was all she wanted . When she subconsciously let out a moan , I knew I was doing the right thing . AD Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
