Chapter 6
Selene’s POV
Can a heart still break once it’s stopped beating?
That’s right. Maybe it would be better if I’m dead.
After my tears dried out and a few thunder mared in the horizon, I finally stood up from the cold ground, walking my way back. Perhaps I should just head over to our house. Maybe if 1 begged hand enough, father would’ve let me keep this baby–Dorian’s baby. I swallowed the lump in my throat Ton’t even tell him it’s hic
I was barefoot and every pint of grass and splinters ingrained themselves on my soles, Blood began to trickle out of my skin and I would bet some money it wouldn’t take long before I would get an infection. Perhaps dying of natural causes would be better than this and-
TAHTA serrani slipped out of my mouth. Everything happened so fast. I’m a couple of miles away from the pack house when a gust of cold wind blew hard into my face and the next thing I knew, several tall wolves–no, rogues, already had their hands on me
“Who the hell are you? Let me go!” I yell. There were two muscular men with battle scars etched on their face, their grip like iron around my And one thing I knew about men with scars is to never trust them–especially if they’re forcibly pulling me into what looks like an SUV.
71 said let go? I tried to squirm when they only tightened their hold hard enough for me to shut up, the only sound I could let out was a mere whimper. My protests were drowned out by their grunts. My eyes widened when I heard the roar of an engine. A car stood out in the middle of the forest and the: dracced me along with them, opening the car door of the backseat.
ko no no, Shit. I’m not coming with all of you?” I yelled and was about to sprint off when they grabbed me by the hair, instantly throwing me at the leather seat

their grasps.
““Hmp“” I whimper as the fabric roughly scratches in between my lips. They also tied my hands, making it impossible to do anything remotely close to escaping
The two mogurs didn’t say a word, their faces grum and unfeeling. The driver finally heaved a sigh of relief when the noise died down, apart from my short grunts which didn’t do much. All I want to do right now iskick the back of the driver’s seat but I’m not sure where that is going to get me
My heart pounded, tears streaming down my face as the packhouse began to blur and trees after trees went past the window as we headed deep into

The car dadded to a halt deep in the woods, the sound of the breaks reaching gears. The next thing I knew, I was being dragged out onto the dirt. “Haut” I struggled once more as the two rogues gripped me by the arm.
They then abosed me roughly onto the ground, leaving me there without a backward glance. The car sped off, its tail lights disappearing into the

The darkness around me seemed to close in, and I was on the brink of closing my eyes forever, hoping the

However, my senses heightened when I heard the sound of fighting–snarls, growls, and the clash of bodies. My eyes flew open, and I tried to see
the situation.
A figure burst through the underbush. The newcomer moved with fierce grace, dispatching the rogues with a speed and power that left my tired body stunned. The sound of boule was fierce, bit each stark and cry was followed by the swift and brutal end of the rogue wolves.
Shu, who as that?
When the last one finally fell, and the figure stepped forward breathing heavily, I looked to, squinting through the darkness, and the stranger’s face came into focus. Her features were sharp, her eyes intense but not unkind.
“Are you alright?
I don’t know, maybe I’m about to be.
Darian POV
Selene, Selene. Selene
I stormed out of the pack house hours after she was gone–after I drove her out—and I would have killed myself over and over again with regret for doing that if not for how the idea of getting her into my arms again sounded like a much better plan.
My mind was a raging storm of fury and frustration, mostly for myself. For making her feel that way and even more so, for letting her out of my arms again. The goddamn thought of her out there, in trouble, set my blood on fire.
It was the dead of the night, and 1 barreled through the shadows, desperation clawing at my insides,
A breath of relief escaped my lungs when I found the lights bright and turned on from outside their manor. They’ve long been living there after being banished out of the packhouse for Selene’s harsh words back then–once again my fault.

“Where is she?” I growled again, barely containing the fury in my voice
“Tell me now, or I’ll ril this fucking house apart?
Marcus stuttered, backing away. “I don’t know, Alpha. She ran off…before I could-
“Damn it!” I roared, smoshing a nearby table with a brutal swing. The wood splintered and flew.
The cold reality of her absence hit me like a punch to the gut. She’s out there, alone and in danger–even worse, hurt, made my blood boil.
1 storm out of their maner, my chest heaving with rage, fists clenched so tight my knuckles were turning white. The cold night air slapped me across the face, but I barely fch it. Selene was gone. Escaped. And I had no fucking idea where she could’ve run to.
I snarled, spinning around to glare at the trembling excuse of a man who dared who call himself her foster father back then. That bastard. My body shook with fury as I grab him by the collar, glancing at Lydia. Selene’s mom
“If you ever touch her again.” I growled, my voice low and dangerous, Till make sure you miserable ass us thrown out of the pack. You’ll be exiled. Akone. No pack. No protection. I’ll make sure you rot. He nodded, his face pale, eyes wide with fear Good. That’s what I wanted–fear.
Without another word. I turned, my boots pounding against the dirt as I sprinted toward the woods. My mind raced, replaying the momeijt I claimed her a fucking month ago. It was all crystal clear now. That child was mine. It couldn’t be anyone else’s. And I’d been too much of a blind, arrogant asshole to see it then.
The regret burned through me but that wasn’t going to fix this. What the hell had I done? I drove her away. The woman carrying my child, and I shoved her out of my life.
“Fuck” 1 spat, my breath ragged as I tore through the trees, the branches whipping against my skin.
I couldn’t even imagine what must’ve been going through her head when I did it. The desperation she must’ve felt. The pain I caused her. I wanted to fucking rip my heart out just thinking about it
I pushed harder, faster, but every di face of the earth

“Selene!” I roared into the darkness, my voice hoarse. “Where the fuck are you?
Nothing Silence. Just the mocking rustle of leaves in the wind.
My lacart pounded so loud it echoed in my cars, and I felt the panic rising inside me. She was gone, and it was all my fault. My teeth ground together, a snarl building in my throat. If anything happened to her–if anyone touched her–I would burn the entire fucking world down.
“Selene!” I screamed again, my voice full of desperation this time, not just anger.
I didn’t care who heard me or how pathetic it sounded. I just needed to find her. Needed to make sure she was okay. Needed to make her mine
But no matter where I looked, there wasn’t a damn trace of her. She was gone, and I had no fucking idea where to even start looking.
