Chapter 12 / -Selene- / My lips parted on their own , allowing him enough entrance to explore . I let out a moan when his tongue found mine and almost melted into him . He must have felt that , so he gently wrapped his arms around my small waist . 59 65 vouchers He was so soft with me , as though I were a fragile glass that would break if not handled with care . For a moment , I allowed myself to forget how I looked , all the tears , all the bruises , and all the nights I cussed at the moon goddess . I wanted to remain in his arms forever . The moment Kaelen growled , something stirred inside me . I swear . I felt something move inside me . I froze immediately and pulled away from Kaelen abruptly . " Are you okay ? " Kaelen's eyebrows furrowed in concern . " I'm sorry if I went too far . I thought you ... I'm really sorry ; I didn't mean to make you feel this shy . " I looked away to prevent him from seeing my trembling hand . " No , no , it's not that . I ... uhm , there .... " I stuttered . He laughed softly . " Your first time , I guess ." " Yeah . " I nodded , still looking the other way . " Come on , are you that shy ? You don't even want to look at me ? " I turned slowly and met his deep caring eyes boring into mine . " Am I really useful to you ? " The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them . " Yes , you are . " 11:29 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 12 That was his one - line response . My eyes blurred . He knew how to make me feel wanted , but I still found it hard to believe . He drew closer to me and took my hand into his . " Can I ask you something personal ? " My heart skipped a beat . Hope it had nothing to do with the little drama between me and the beta . " Ok , I am all ears ," I managed to force the words out of my mouth . 59 55 vouchers He hesitated for some seconds , then whispered , " Do you have a mate ? Better still , do you have a wolf ? " Shit ! If only I had known this was the question , I would have declined the request . How now do I tell him that I'm a cursed being with no wolf and no mate ? " Yes , I do ," the lie rolled out smoothly . He scoffed . " Indeed . That makes it three lies . Listen , Selene , I am not one you should lie to , but if you keep on lying to me , I will be forced to keep my distance and .... " " No , no , " I said hurriedly . " Don't keep your distance ; I have just you ." " Then tell me the truth . " I opened my mouth , but no words came out . It was such a shameful thing to say . One that I had vowed to keep to myself till I die . After a long silence , I muttered . " No , I don't have a wolf ; I've never shifted , and I don't have a mate . Can we please not talk about it ? " He hesitated for a moment , then nodded . " Fine , if that's what you want . " I muttered a thank you and looked away . " You still don't want to speak about what the beta was threatening you about , huh ? You don't trust me yet? " He 11:29 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 12 blurted suddenly . Oh fuck . How do I come out of this ? I thought to myself . " He will kill me , " I whispered . : . " And this is me vowing to protect you ; don't you remember that I'm the Alpha of the pack ? " " You can't be there all the time ." I had begun shaking . " Fine , I will act like you said nothing . I swear on the pack . " I swallowed a lump that had formed in my throat and drew closer . " I saw him ..... " A loud , disrespectful knock on the door interrupted me before I could finish my statement . " Who is it ? " I gently asked . " A message from the king : he requests his medication . " Shit ! 59 55 vouchers " I will be right back ," I muttered to Kaelen and grabbed the tray containing Thorne's medicine . Elara was in his chambers when I came , and Thorne was not there . " I'm here to administer the Alpha's drug , " I said to Elara as politely as I could . " Is that the food I asked you to bring ? How long has it been ? " I ignored her question and patiently waited for Thorne . I had gotten Elara enraged with my silence , and I did pay the price for it . " Put that on the tray , " he ordered , I did as I was told , but just as I raised my head , Elara's palm connected with my cheek in a resounding slap . " You must be stupid ! " She growled . " What gave you the guts to ignore me , huh ? " She grabbed me by my hair , and I winced in pain . " Elara , please , I'm sorry ," I pleaded . I hated so much to beg Elara , but my hair hurt so much , I was left with no choice . 11:29 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 12 : 59 55 vouchers She raised her hand to hit me again when the doorknob turned and Thorne walked in with his walking stick . " The deformed girl is here ; what do you need her for ? " Elara's venomous voice rang . Thorne didn't say anything in response ; he just walked to his seat and signalled me with his finger to come . Though my legs shook , I managed to walk over to him and apply the drugs . Then I noticed I always felt so drained and dizzy whenever I applied that drug in his eyes ; it felt as though power left my body . Weird concept . I had no power for myself , not to talk of the one to share with someone else . I fought with every strength I had to walk away in one piece . I would rather lose consciousness in front of terrible rogue wolves than do that in front of Elara . But my body was failing me faster than I thought . The moment my hand touched the doorknob , I was drained completely . Somehow Thorne had noticed . " Selene ? Selene ? " " She's fine ," Elara answered on my behalf . " Did she prepare those drugs , or is she helping the healer administer it ? Because the Selene I know has never been a ... " Elara's voice faded slowly , until my body failed me . I fell down , and everything turned black . AD Comment Send gift Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
