Chapter 7 - THE CHALLENGE FOR HER...

Selene POV

The next morning after I attempted to flee from the palace and go hunting for answers the birds were chirping lazily outside when word reached out that I was summoned by the Werewolf council. From what I have been able to uncover over the years if someone was brought before the council it's either you did something wrong or you are seen as a threat to the community, never the less I was nervous.

'My mate will surely protect us, Selene, why are you getting yourself so worked up' my subconscious said.

'You know we have been talking for a while and I havent picked a name for you.What should I call you , I mean if Kieran's wolf asks about you what will I tell him you are called' I decided to give my wolf a name.

'Do you think this is like naming a pet.I have survive for a very long time my dear.After my host dies , I choose the next but this time I have not memories of my last host so just call me Miranda.It has a nice ring to it.Imagine my mate calling me by that name with his husky voice' she drooled whilst putting these fantasie pictures of hers in my mind.

'Okay Miranda but stop putting those fantasies of yours on hold because we will be sharing the same car together when we are going there' I reminded her and she even became more excited.

'Selene I will be feasting my eyes baby.I hope he will take us on a picnic by a fall and I will complain about the heat and we will get undressed ,starts swimming and have …' I couldn't take it anymore.

'Please remind me how I can make you shut up Miranda' She was slowly becoming disgusting.

I slidded into the dress and put on a little make up,some perfum and went outside to meet up with Kieran.

When we talked I don't know why but I wanted to be formal with him. I was blushing and I didn't want him to notice how worked up I was getting because of his presence. Maybe it was the mate bond that every moment I was spending with him, my urge to bite his neck and mark him mine was getting the best of me.

For a moment I could even hear his blood vessels carrying blood to and from the brain. The sound of his beating heart and the sound of his thick blood flowing in his veins and arteries was driving me crazy.

When Alouis took charge I was happy because at least with his cheerful nature the car would not be uncomortable.I guess now we are very much making the host jealous of his own wolf.We talked during the way and I saw Miranda standing at the edge of my subconscience looking dreamy at Kieran.

'He is perfect Selene' she said.

We reached the our destination and Miranda and I were sad because the journey was too short.We wanted more time with our mate.The council headquarters were located on top of the mountain and we were at its foot.The vehicle could not contiueso we had to finish this journey on foot and Alouis said he was going to give me a wolf ride to the top.

I have seen many Alpha and werewolves stripped completely naked whilst shifting into their form but never have I been this shy. The moment he was taking off his clothes I closed my eyes feeling shy, if this was Alouis in charge one thing was sure if Kieran was back in charge he would be shy.

My cheeks started to heat up thank goodness I had makeup on.

'Selene you party booper.That is a show worthy seeing open those eyes and let me have a sneak peak' Miranda pervetly said.

'Miranda no I can't' I said shyly.

'What are you afraid off huh.One way or the other we will see all of those plus he is our mate.H is body belongs to us as much as it belongs to him' she said as she forced me to oepn my eyes.

What I saw made me regret opening them. I wanted to keep my eyes closed. He had an ody just like Chris Hemsworth, robust chest with hard nipples, perfectly formed abs, broad shoulders, and the size of that thing, my goddess will it fit. The moment did not last long as he shifted into his wolf but the picture was already engraved inside my head.

I felt my nipples harden at the thought of him naked. I neatly folded his clothes and Alouis gave me his paw as a lift up on his giant black hound form.

I rubbed his soft fur and the wold wagged its tail.Whilst ontop of him , I felt this soft feeling which was way softer than a bed.I would love to sleep in that furry warmth.

He sprinted up the moutain and the ride was not bumpy.Soon we had reached the mountain top and when he shifted back Kieran now had control of his body.He crawled to a corner maybe shy to let me drool over his body once more.

But every part of his body was drooling to me, he had hard glutes that made me wanna bite them, lick them oh my. With his strong back with those muscles, I was sure after this council thing I would be in his bed when we got back to the palace.

The sweat that formed on his body due to the running seemed like to give a glitter effect as his perfectly tanned skin was shining.

I wasn't going to openly become a person like that. I tried even though my cheeks almost gave me away to act non-affected by his nudity shoved him his clothes and turned my back to him giving him privacy to change.

He put on his clothes and still even with the various piece of fabric my eyes were only seeing him in his birthday suit whenever I looked.Kieran chuckled and cleared his throat when he saw me compleltely focused on his body .

I hooked my arm on his and walked towards the building.

Whilst inside we were receiving these weird glances from the people inside.One thing was for sure.These people did not want me here or my existence.

Kieran took me to sit on the chair besides him and watch as the session proceeded.It so happened that the main issue was about our mate bond.

They spoke in a coded language and what I could pick was that I was a remnant of a cursed group of werewolves who were long executed. So what they wanted was for me to be executed as the laws that were passed over my tribe.

Kieran refused and even used his aura to suppress them. But what was troubling was I started seeing fragments of my memories as a young child. I started feeling the smell of burning bodies and houses. In my ears, I would hear the wailing of children, and women and the gushing of blood as people were getting killed.

Then suddenly a certain picture and face appeared, it was a woman dressed in a blood-stained green hooded robe with ornaments on her wrists pointing at me for her members to kill me.

I didn't notice that I had zoned out and put pressure on Kieran's hand which was holding mine. I felt his warm hand caressing mine and look dup to see him looking at me with love and sadness.

"If you mate with the cursed, you will bring doom to all of us" the person who seemed to be the council leader said.

"Well I will say it once.She is my mate an if the moongoddess wants her for a sacrifice let her come and tell me herself not through some people" Kieran retorted.

"You might be the king but how dare you challenge the high priestess and the orders of the moongoddess" one of the council elders said.

"Exactly just because I am the last descendant of the Lycans makes me capable of doing so" he replied whilst releasing a surg of his aura on the poor man.

" Why can't you just answer the man without using your aura to pressurize everyone" I heard a voice saying from the door I didn't need to see the face as I instantly recognized it from the mating ceremony.

It was Alpha Darius, the most conniving and ruthless pack leader of the Moonlight pack.

"We meet again sweetheart," he said the moment he saw I was looking at him this infuriated Kieran.

His anger was on the edge and this was the last stroll. I watched as he sprang out of his seat and slammed Alpha Darius to the wall.

"You are not worthy to call my mate sweetheart" he warned him.

"What makes you say that? If Selene herself is not complaining why can't I flirt with her?You have been with her since the ceremony and she remains unmated , don't you know how her pheromones affect us unmated werewolves or does she not want you?" he asked and Kieran gave him a huge blow which to an ordinary parson might break their jaw.

Darius only started to chuckle and shifted halfway to his form and a battle started. Darius was weaker than Kieran but since he was not acting on his anger he was able to land a few punches on Kieran.

I felt Kieran releasing this powerful surge of aura and he was about to go completely Lycan on Darius. My first thought was to stop them before anyone got hurt.

Time started to flow slowly and I watched as Kieran landed a final blow on Darius and I felt a sharp pain inside my chest. I was running out of breath and a sharp primal scream escaped my mouth....
