She’s not just a part of me, she’s my friend. My best friend for all it matters. No one has understood me as good as she has. We truly were just one soul under two different forms.
“Amber… I don’t want to lose Selene. But I know you are right. When the time comes, I will allow you full access to her so we can both overpower her. Then, we can sacrifice our selves for her, for Blake, and
for Xander.” I whimpered. Tilting my head down and letting out my tears.
“Very well Haze. When the time comes, Selene and I will be one. She will feel my powers, but she will not be able to control them. She will have no choice but to allow me to take over. Until then my dear pup….
we’ll see each other again.”
A heavy gush of wind came over, making me slump down on all four, and I closed my eyes to avoid dirt in my eyes. When the wind diminished, I opened my eyes and realized that Amber and Aquila were gone. I whimpered. Selene is my best friend.
I remembered the first time we met. Most pups in our pack don’t meet their human until they are about ten years old. But Selene and I have been together, growing side by side since the day she was born. I remember the day she first learned how to crawl, the day she lost her first tooth. She laughed so hard when I cried the first time I lost my first canine.
I remember when we first met Xander here is a little secret for you guys. Selene and Blake have been
secretly shifting since they were both 5 years old. That’s why Selene unconsciously loves being in the forest. She gets to shift without anyone seeing. Meeting Xander was our secret. Though Xander and I never revealed who our human was.
At least, not until our first official shifting in front of the pack. When we had to do it one by one. That’s when I knew it was him.
But for his own good, I backed away. Knowing darn well the possibility of me being his mate was most likely a no. If I’d known since then, I would have loved him longer. Spent more time with him life is not
fair. I feel as if I’m being robbed of my happiness. And I am robbing Selene and Blake’s happiness.
I just hope, that when the time comes to face Damian. our sacrifice is for the best of everyone.

Selene’s POV
I woke up with the sun rays hitting my face. Though I laid in the shade, my face still felt the warmth of the alluring sunrays peaking through the branches of the trees surrounding me.
I realized I laid on my stomach on top of a blanket, on top of me was a thin sheet covering me from mid back and down.
I have no idea how I got here, nor how did I end up being covered. Thankfully as I glanced around, I realized I was close to where I had left my clothes, right before I shifted and let Hazel take over.
I heard a foot stir in the ground and the breaking of a small branch. It startled me at first, but his sweet smell told me I was in no trouble at all. I turned slowly to look at my dear husband. He sat on top of the mid sized boulder where I had left my clothes.
He sat pensively, his elbows resting on his knees while he stared at the ground. He sighed and closed his eyes, while hanging his head low.
“Blake?” I whispered his name.
“Good morning beautiful! Or should I say good afternoon?” He spoke softly, giving me a barely noticeable side smirk. Yet his voice had uncertainty written almost over it, and he seemed somewhat melancholic.
“Hi Baby!” I tried to smile, hiding my own pain.
I got up, and began to change. I tried to hook my bra strap, but my body felt tired and numb. I fiddled with the hook unable to get the hooks in. He softly took them in his hands, fastening my straps for me.
Slowly, he began to run his hands around my waist, and rested his chin on my shoulder. I can feel shivers down my spine as his soft breath caressed my shoulder.
“Do you remember when we used to sneak out here when we were just pups? We’d run around like crazy rogues unaware who each other was. We always met up here in our pup form. We were too afraid to see each other in our human form. We did this so that we had no way of exposing each other of who we were in case we ever got caught remember?” He smiled looking into my eyes. His gaze was powerful and hypnotic.
“I remember. Then everything changed after you saw me the day of our official first shifting ceremony. While everyone took minutes to shift, we did it in recorded time because we had been doing it for so long without any one noticing.” We both laughed, he laid his chin on my shoulder and kissed the curve of my neck.
“I’m sorry I stopped talking to you after that. I guess I just wanted to give you space because you always acted in disgust with me at school. I figured you hated me and would hate me more after you realized that black pup you were used to playing with was me.”
“Blake? How can you think that? I could never hare you!! Well, technically I thought you were
arrogant and annoying because you did stop talking to me after that! But I never hated you.” He closed his eyes and turned his head away letting out a long sigh.
“Fair enough! Princess, I know what you’re trying to do. And I will not allow it. I can’t let you go!” He
buried his head between my shoulder and neck. I took a long sigh, my tears betraying me as they made their way down my cheeks. The big ugly knot in my throat unwilling to leave, stilling me from saying a word.
