Chapter 2 Second Chapter

Selene was done for the day. She strapped on her backpack and was leaving the college grounds when the Alpha appeared out of nowhere.

"Selene!" He called.

She tried to ignore him but knew it would be to no avail.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Why did you reject me?"

"I don't even know your name."

The Alpha smiled. "It's Ronan Blackthorne."

He extended a hand. Selene hesitated. But finally shook it.

There was a sexual tension between them. His hand was rough and gentle at the same time. Selene wondered what it would like to be-

"And you are Selene Carter, yes?" He asked and shifted her back to reality.

"Y-yes." She stammered.

There was something magnetic about him. Even though Selene had rejected the bond, she still felt a high attraction for him.

"Listen. We will talk about the rejection later. You will be mine eventually." He explained. "I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Not here. Meet me at Apollo Park at six in the evening."

**

She tried her best not to dress too nicely. She didn't want to give away any hints about her attraction to Ronan. She was wearing a black skirt and had black make-up on as well. She passed the time by twirling a strand of her hair.

Ronan appeared out of nowhere again. "Selene, I am so glad you are here."

"What is it, Ronan?" Selene felt impatient. "What is it you want to tell me?"

Ronan sighed. "It's about your parents."

"What about them?"

"They weren't murdered by rogues." He told her. "But by someone in your pack."

**

It's nine-o-clock and Selena is at the pack meeting. Everyone is celebrating as the Moon Ceremony was successfully.

Selene felt that she was in the background of everything happening around her. She couldn't shake Ronan's words: But by someone in your pack.

Who could it be? She wondered.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Alpha Warren asked.

He had a friendly smile on his face.

"It's nothing, Sir." She couldn't even look at him. What if he murdered my parents?

The wolves started howling even in their human state. Caleb was in the center of it. Everyone was yelling him to chug the canister of beer. He successfully did so and got French-kissed by Olivia as a reward.

Selene.

She heard Ronan's voice but it wasn't a recollection. He was actually talking to her by a psychic link.

Ronan, is that you?

Yes, Selene. I told you we are meant to be together. That's why we are psychically linked.

She kept her attention to what was happening in front of her. Caleb and Joseph started a friendly brawl. They were wrestling and who would land on the ground first would be the one to lose.

Selene was about to message Ronan back with her mind when someone interrupted her thoughts.

"You better stay away from him." It was Olivia, mean-spirited as usual.

You rejected me because you think you are worthless. And can't transform. But that isn't true. On the next full moon. You will awaken. Ronan told her.

"And if I don't?" Selene didn't realize she had just spoken such harsh words.

She was usually non-violent, but she was aching for a fight then.

Olivia's eyes turned red. She shoved Selene and Selene flew into the barn nearby. Even without fully transforming, Olivia was very strong.

Everybody stopped what they were doing to watch the girl fight.

Selene got up, there was a crack in the wall of the barn where her body had entered. She felt her eyes turn red but still couldn't transform into her werewolf form. She had to be careful. Olivia could transform at will.

Selena and Olivia were about to clash again when Caleb stepped in between them.

"Please stop." Caleb pleaded raising hands at them. "We are supposed to be a pack."

"Caleb is right" Alpha Warren said with his hands behind his back. "Today's meeting is adjourned."

**

Selene was tossing and turning in bed that night. She couldn't forget what Ronan had told her at the park.

She started having visions. She entered the house two years ago. There was blood smeared all over the place: the furniture, the walls.

"Mom, Dad!?" Selene called out but no one replied.

Then she stepped into something and heard a splash. It was one of the limbs of her parents. She stepped back and got knocked out from behind. Before fully passing out, she saw a familiar figure but she could only make out half of a face.

**

The next day.

Selene's phone rang. It was Caleb.

"Selene!" He practically screamed into the mic.

"Yes, Caleb. What is it?" She asked with concern.

"Come to House 103, Nancy Street, quickly."

It was a Saturday so college was off. Selene had to Uber a ride as Nancy Street was far away from her apartment and she didn't own any vehicle.

She paid the driver then proceeded to House 103. She saw Caleb and Alpha Warren outside the front door, waiting for her.

"Yes?" She asked them.

Both of them had solemn looks on their faces.

"It's Olivia." Alpha Warren said. "She's been murdered."

Caleb started crying and Warren patted him on the back. They led her inside and the scene was similar to that of her parents' murder.

The walls were blood-soaked and the furniture was all a mess. There was a sign of a struggle. Olivia didn't give up easily.

They entered the first bedroom and saw it in tatters as well. On the bed was Olivia. Dead.

"Looks like a rogue werewolf did this." Alpha Warren announced.

Don't trust them, Ronan said with his psychic link. This was no rogue werewolf.
