“Selene, I know parts and pieces of your departure five years ago. But in able for me to understand what is going on, and for me to be able to ensure you are clear of any danger, I need to hear it from you.” He calmly said as his gaze softened. His hand softly caressing my cheek, as I involuntarily moved towards it. Embracing the feel of his touch.
“Blake, I’m sorry I kept it from you all along. I had no choice but to do so.”
“Why? Who ordered you to do so?” He asked.
“Your father, your mother, my parents as well.” I said, trying to stay composed.
His jaw clenched, I could hear the gritting of his teeth. He closed his eyes profusely, his hand becoming a tight fist by the side of my cheek. I was scared for the first time in my five years of training and battling.
The power radiating from his body and his intense aura were surprisingly greater then anything I’d ever seen.
“Selene, when did…. my … parents, and your parents decided this? And why?” He asked as he tried to contain his wolf from merging. Hazel could sense him.
His wolf was extraordinary and powerful like no other wolf we had ever seen or encountered.
I took a long sigh, and closed my eyes for a second, ” The night of your ceremony. Well, technically, the afternoon before your ceremony. They said it was part of a treaty, to keep the pack safe.” I said to him, his eyes became wide with confusion. I could sense the turmoil in his being.
“What do you mean treaty? What kind of treaty love?” He asked. but it seemed that the more I
explained, the angrier he became.
“Blake, I will tell you everything you want to know but you have to promise me that you will stay
calm. Please darling?”
I had to take a chance at calming him down before I continued to explain. I turned my body towards him, getting closer to him, so that we faced each other better. I took his hands in mine, interlacing our fingers as he slowly became more serene. His aura diminished a bit, and went from a dark blue to a light yellow and white.
I then began to explain to him everything.
Starting from the agreement of the treaty, to why Jazzy and I left as part of the treaty. To the reason for the treaty. , keeping the pack safe, and the government stayed out so long as we kept our part of the
deal. To working with Colonel Coelhelm.
He was overwhelmed by every word. But he kept at it, asking me what we had to do, and all that I had to go through. His eyes were barely kept open, he held them shut, and from time to time, he’d open them just to let a treacherous tear roll down his handsome face. I could sense the anger and
frustration in his being.
He moved his hands around my waist, pulling me close to him. He placed his head on top of my mark. I
could feel the tingle of sparks as he softly grazed his lips on my skin. I closed my eyes, as he grazed my skin softly. A small involuntary moan escaping me.
He tighten his grip, and kissed my mark. “Baby, I’m sorry you had to endure so much if I’d known
sooner. I’d trade places with you in less then a heartbeat. ” he whispered in my ear.
The gesture made my head tilt back. his touch went all the way from my head to the tip of my toes. It
was one of those sweet seductive touches that makes your toes curl and feel all kinds of heaven through your body.
I inhaled his scent his intoxicating aroma of old spice, reminded me of a warm fire pit in the coldest of
nights, and warm evergreens.
“Blake, there was nothing neither one of us could do at the time.” I whispered. His eyebrows furrowed, his eyes became dark and his grip around me got tighter then I’d like to have.
I placed my hands on his chest as a gasped escaped me. “What the fuck do you mean there was nothing neither one of us could do? We found each other that same night Selene. I was the damn alpha before you left the morning afterwards. I could have intervened I could have protected you, and everyone else
in my pack.” He spat, angrily looking at me, inverting his gaze between my orbs.
“Blake ” I whispered.
“WHAT?” he yelled,
“Blake, you’re hurting me.” I whispered, as his grip became excruciatingly painful, I could barely breath.
He slowly unwind his grip. His arms went from my waist to my upper back as he held me. Tight, but bearable.
He shut his eyes. Sighed heavily.
“Sorry. I just sorry sweetheart. I don’t know what came over me.” He said as his gaze turned away
from me, and he shut his eyes tightly.
I slowly caressed his cheek, he leaned towards it, grasping my hand, cupping it gently with his hand before he squeezed it, and kissed me lightly on the inside of my palm.
“I love you Selene. I don’t think I can stand life if something bad happened to you.” He whispered.
For the first time, he sounded so sincere. it made my heart melt as I finally allowed myself to believe
he truly loved me.
“I love you too Blake. I always will.” I said as he continued to kiss my hand.
“I always have….. I’ve always….. loved you…. and only you Selene. ” He said, as I became shocked with his declaration.
“What do you mean? Always have?” I said with a smile on my face.
“Sweetheart, as the next heir to the alpha position in our pack. my wolf has known since we were
seven. But my stubbornness kept brushing it off. Shutting Alexander my wolf every time he pointed you out. He, and my instincts always said it was you, but my stubbornness always kept away, refusing it to happen until the day of my eighteenth when I was sure your mating bond calling was awakened. I
couldn’t resist to claim you anymore. Even though, I couldn’t see you in the dark the night we first mated I somehow knew it was you all along.” He said, as my mouth became gawked opened, so
surprised by his sudden revelation. My heart was moved, and I felt my stomach fluttered. I was becoming incredibly attached to him.
