Sinful Love

CHAPTER 25

Selena did want to be dumped into the bath tub again. She woke up early and got ready, went ground floor and made 2 sets of poached egg and bread toast. Zaden walked into the kitchen after done looking for her in his room.

“Well, well, well…Look who is up. You learn fast” he sat down and took a bite of toast in front of him, assuming it’s for him.

“That’s not for you…” she crossed her hand over her chest and cocked her eyebrow. Zaden looked around

“Then who is it for?” Selena stiffened as she has no answer for that. Finally, she decide to answer him by sticking out her tongue and sat down to eat. They manage to go for a little bit further before Selena break down. They went to rock climbing. After 3 climbs, they were about to leave when Zaden caught Sitka and whispered something to him. Sitka turned to look at Selena with a smirk on his face. Sitka is the smallest male in the pack but still, he is twice bigger than Selena, completed with 6 packs abs and biceps. From what she has observed, he is the fastest runner and he can endure tough tracks with his light weight. Sitka signaled Selena to come and she did with a frown. Once Selena came in front of him, he took a defense stance

“What?” Selena asked

“Attack me” Sitka

“Why?” Sitka straightened his back and clutched his waist. The rest of the team are sitting under trees observing these 2.

“So that I can fight you. Zaden said you are a good fighter, so come on” he returned to his defense stance. Selena’s eye and mouth widened as she turned to look at Zaden who is trying his best to swallow his laughter.

Sitka started throwing punch before she was ready but she managed to dodge it

“Sitka wait” he threw another punch, she dodged

“He is lying” he threw a few more at a faster pace that I was difficult for her to avoid, so she crouched down with her hands covering her head. Sitka stopped and crouched next to her, grabbing her head to a hug

“Little Bambi” he said with through gritted teeth.

“Come on” he stood again, with hand extended to her. She swatted it away and stood up.

“I don’t fight Sitka, he is lying” Sitka let out a chuckle and took a defense stance again.

“Sitka, that is a wrong move” Zaden shouted from far. They both frowned since none of them made any movement. How can there be wrong move when none are made? Sitka and Selena exchanged look, inspecting each other carefully when Selena finally understood. He is in semi crouching position. She stepped on his thigh, grabbed his shoulder and jumped to knee his face which hit his nose. Sitka cover his nose with a groan. When he opened his palm, Selena see red and she panicked. She ran to Sitka

“Sitka, I’m sorry…Oh my god you are bleeding!!!Zaden” she cupped his chin, taking a more careful look at his wound. Zaden had just sprung out of ground

“You don’t feel sorry for your opponent little Bambi” Sitka pushed her back and sat on top of her, raising his fist to hit her in the face. She caught his fist a few inches above her face. In comes another fist and she did the same. Now she had caught both his fist. He is definitely stronger than Selena so she wouldn’t be able to hold on to his fist for long. She is in need of a counter act to shut him down, and she need it fast. She used his current weakness, bleeding nose. She pulled herself up and used her head to hit his nose.

“Arghhh…FUCK!!!” he dropped to her side, curved his spine and his fingers holding his nose. He is now turning to his left and right. Zaden had reached Selena, helping her to stand up and others were helping Sitka. As much as she wanted to help Sitka, she also recalled what he just said, you don’t feel sorry for your opponent. She wasn’t sure if he is an opponent or friend now. She stayed far from him, her eyes filled with terror. Zaden was holding both her arms from behind

“Are you ok?” she asked with a shaky voice. Sitka looked at her, stretched one hand out and showed her a thumbs up.

“See what you did?” she then swatted Zaden’s chest

“What did I do?”

“You lied to him that I can fight. Now look what you have done” she raged with anger, veins in her neck bulging as she shouted at Zaden. Zaden held her cheeks between his fingers and turned it to side.

“Look what YOU have done” he emphasized while looking at Sitka. He seemed to have stopped bleeding and all 4 are looking at Zaden and Selena in awe.

“You might be small and not used to fight, but you are swift, slick and cunning, like a fox” Sitka said. Selena stunned for a while before she shook her head, to snap back.

“You need to get that fixed or you going to have crooked nose for the rest of your life. Come, fast” they helped Sitka up and they all walked to pack hospital. She was right, wolfs heal fast and they have to be quick in positioning the nose.

They fixed his nose and got out of hospital, went to the brick house where Grandpa Kai was waiting for them in communal room. Once they arrived, he laid clear his concerns

“Tomorrow is full moon. What are we going to do with Selena?” he asked

“She hasn’t shift by herself, she refused to get naked yesterday” Orion explained to Grandpa Kai. A breeze of joy swept through Zaden’s heart at Orion’s word.

‘So that was the homework yesterday’

He thought to himself as he looked at Selena, who is oblivion of his thought and focused on Grandpa Kai

“No, no. She can’t shift here” Grandpa Kai

“Why not?” Orion

“Have you forgotten? She is a silver wolf. She will stand out if she shifts in front of the whole village. We don’t want them to know that she is a Samrat or elicit any doubt that she is special. Words will get out and soon, things will get out of control” Grandpa Kai said with concern. Zaden dropped his head thinking.

“We were supposed to announce her as new member tomorrow. Maybe we can just do that and don’t shift” Makeala shrugged

“That doesn’t work with her wolf, she comes out only once a month, when Selena is asleep. I don’t think her wolf is going to give up shifting tomorrow” Orion said, sitting on a table next to Selena’s chair

“Does that mean we can’t let her join the pack? Since she can’t be there for every full moon” Xavier asked

“That is not an option too, we need her in our link so that we can warn her when there is a threat or she can contact us when she needs help” Orion

“But…I don’t have my sleeping pills…” everyone turned to look at Selena.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“My wolf comes out only when I’m sleeping, right? I forgot to bring my sleeping pills, can she still come out?” Selena asked in confusion. Zaden stood up and paced back and forth. Everyone is focused on him for his final decision. He stopped

“We will have the union at 11.00pm… No, we don’t want anyone suspecting anything. 11.30pm, announce her as a new member, establish the link and then I take her away from there, just in case she still shifts when she is still awake. All of you will still be there, cover up for us.” Zaden said

“Zaden, 30 minutes is not going to be enough for you to go out of the mountains. You have seen her wolf. There is no way you can control her if she shifts. What if she starts running wild?” Orion questioned with a frown. Zaden turned to look at Selena, sitting in an extra-large single sofa, making her extra small.

“Do you remember what happen yesterday with the pythons?” he asked her, with cold tone

“No…nothing” she answered hesitated. Zaden snapped his head to Grandpa Kai

“Her wolf knows something that she doesn’t know, isn’t it? I will use that against her, to control and contain her” Zaden and Grandpa Kai exchanged looks. Grandpa Kai’s frown subside to a puffed laughter at his lips once he understood what Zaden meant.

“Very well then, foolproof plan, I believe. Good luck” Grandpa Kai bind his hand behind him and walked out. Zaden smiled as a blush crept up his cheeks. He turned around and there stood 5 of his pack members, looking utterly confused at him. Busted!!! He cleared his throat and walked away, ignoring them.

That night, Selena was waiting eagerly for Zaden in her room. She paced through the room, the wall clock showing 1am but Zaden haven’t showed up. Tired of waiting, she went to his room and knocked on the door. Zaden slowly opened the door, revealing only half of his shirtless body, squint eyes and a messy hair. Selena’s eye widened

“You are sleeping?” she exclaimed

“What does it look like?” he answered in a husky voice, gravelly voice

“Why didn’t you come down, like you usually do?” he shrugged. The truth is, he is aware that Selena is going to ask about the python incident and what her wolf know that she doesn’t know. He already have her scent on his bed to make him sleep sound as well, so he didn’t need to go to her room. She huffed in annoyance and stormed back to her room. Zaden smiled as he closed his door.
