Alpha Blake novel Chapter 24

　　Selene

　　The whole ride home had been bittersweet. Silent, awkward, and melancholic. If I felt bad before, I felt even worse now.

　　The thrice alliance was broken, a pack was left without an Alpha because of me, and to top it off... I had foolishly been lied to, by whom I thought was my best friend. She didn't just lie to me, but she had broken my brother's heart.... or so it seemed.

　　My mind kept turning inside me.... there's just so much shit I don't quite comprehend right now. One, Blake lied to me.... he said he'd waited for my return all this time. Yet I come here to find myself getting into a little quarrel with this dumb female. Two, why wasn't my brother Tyler affected by the breakage of his mate bond with Jazmin?

　　Three, I'm hurt, and I'm pissed that my so-called mother is not my mother after all. Yet I'm the daughter of Carol Dianne Slate, heir to the powers bestowed by the one and only Artemis, the third moon goddess!?

　　I somehow have a third being inside me that I need to figure out how to awaken.... but the thing is? I have no fucking clue how to do it.

　　Today, Blake had promised I'd start training... and so I hoped he'd keep his promise. I don't want to keep being left in the dark. Being left to figure things out on my own is excruciating ... especially when everyone else seems to know things besides me.

　　Blake and Selene walked hand in hand. They stopped midway towards the territory where they would be training. He took her face cupping it with his hands. He stared at her, his eyebrows narrowed, he worried about her being hurt. The image of her almost being killed by alpha Stewart still lingered in the back of his mind.

　　She smiled, bringing her hands beside his hips, biting the side of her lower lip. He smiled, nodding his head and closing his eyes.

　　Sighing before he came close, kissing her forehead. "Blake? Promise you won't baby me?" She squint her eyes and narrowed an eyebrow.

　　He grunted and took his arms around her, hugging her tight. She leaned her head on his shoulder. "Blake? I mean it... I can handle this! But you gotta give me a chance to prove myself first. Promise?" She gripped him tight as he buried his head on her shoulder.

　　"Fine... I promise." 

　　She squeals with joy as she jumps up and down making him giggle.

　　 "Ahem, yeah... I promise... but I can't say Alexander will stay composed. I can only speak for myself." he says as he walks away.
