SELENE:
I stood by the doorstep with my parents, watching the omegas put my bags into the trunk of the car.
"Shall we go?" My mum asked as they put the last luggage into the trunk, her gaze fixed on me.
Taking a deep breath, I nodded "yes". With that, my parents entered the first car, while I entered the other that has my luggage. The car took off once I was settled inside, headed straight to the airport.
The ride to the airport was a quiet one, Eliana remained silent not saying a single word as she took in the fact that we will soon be in another pack, living a completely different life in just a couple of hours.
"We are here," the driver said, as he stopped the car. I looked out of the window and saw over 50 reporters looking around frantically. "They are here for us, aren't they?" Elaina asked in a low tone, I could hear the hint of nervousness in her voice, and it poked on my nerves.
"Yes, but we got this" I reassured her, and knocked lightly on the car window making the driver step out and open the door for me. I took a deep breath and stepped out, rushing to my parents' side immediately.
The reporters quickly ran towards us the moment they noticed us and when they got close enough, they began asking questions all at once, "Annha Selene is it true that you were rejected by Alpha Derrick?" "Did you marry his Beta to cover the shame?" "Don't you have anything to say, Annha Selene?"
My mother grabbed my hand and squeezed it lightly as the reporters kept asking question after question, I gave her a grateful smile before turning back to the reporters "if you give me a chance, I'll like to make a statement" I said and the reporters quickly shut up. "I'll not entertain any questions after I've made my statement, my relationship is not a show or entertainment for the public," I said in a strong and clear voice, staring at the reporters who exchanged glances with each other.
"I'll like to continue if you all agree with that, if not I have a plane to catch"
"Please continue Annha," A female reporter said and I smiled at her, I looked at the others and they all nodded in agreement.
"It is indeed true that it was arranged for Alpha Derrick and I to get married, but love happened," I took a deep breath and continued "Love isn't something anyone can control, it was quite unfortunate that our marriage got canceled because of it tho, but I do not take that as an insult and I'll appreciate it if you all don't go about broadcasting that I was insulted" I paused for a while, looking at the reporters before I continued "But that shouldn't make my marriage to Beta Drystan a questionable marriage like I said love happened and we all are happy where we are. With that being said, I'll be on my way to Mooncrest pack" I finished my statement with a smile.
My parents smiled at me, and I could see the proud look on their faces. They nodded curtly at the reporters before we all walked into the airport together. I did the necessary security checks and within a few minutes, I was done.
The moment we got to where I'll board my plane, I quickly pulled my dad who hasn't said a single word into a hug, "I'll miss you princess" he muttered in a hoarse voice, kissing me on the forehead.
"I'll miss you too Dad" I murmured trying to hold in the tears, we hugged each other for a while before we let go and I pulled my mum in.
"You're a strong girl Selene" she whispered, patting my hair "I'll miss you so much, sweetie"
"Thanks, mum, and I'll miss you too," I said, tears rolling down my cheeks.
My flight departure announcement came through the intercom and I pulled away from my mum, and without turning back, I ran into the plane. I identified my seat and plopped down on it, while I tried to keep my tears away "We are together Selene, we got this" Eliana said to me and I smiled at how comforting her words were, but it wasn't enough to keep the hurt away
~ a Few hours later~
A flight attendant's voice buzzed through the intercom "Good afternoon, we are about to land, Cabin crew please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts for landing" I sighed and fastened my safety belt, as the realization set in, I really am in Canada.
A few minutes later after landing, everyone started leaving the plane with their luggage while I just sat there looking at them; lost in my thoughts, maybe I should just go and board a flight back to San Diego and prepare better for this or better still, wait till we are married.
"Don't you dare develop cold feet now, we didn't lie to the public and board a 5 hours flight just to go back" Eliana scolded sternly. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.
"You got this Selene" I muttered reassuringly to myself, picked up my luggage, and walked out of the plane, I cleared my papers and picked up the rest of my luggage before I started heading outside the airport immediately. "Not him!" I muttered to myself in annoyance, as I stared at the man before me, yup! You guessed it right; Drystan.
He stood beside a black Porsche, dressed in a tight-fitting white turtle neck paired with faded blue jeans and white sneakers to match. He twirled the car key carelessly while looking around the airport, a bored expression plastered on his face "he is so hot" Eliana squealed all of a sudden and I rolled my eyes, but honestly, I agree with her.
"Shut up," I said quietly and started walking up to him, when he turned and saw me, the bored expression on his face turned into a scowl "I didn't know you possess the curtsey to come to pick me up" I stated with an innocent smile on my face, making his scowl deepen.
"Believe me, if I had the choice I'd rather die than pick you up" he stated in a cold voice. I smirked and moved closer to him
"Well you should have died then, that would have been a better distraction for the press " I spat back at him. We both stood in silence glaring at each other before he took my luggage and put them in the car and entered the driver's seat.
"Get into the car now or walk to the werewolf's residence," he said with a straight face, starting the car. I deliberately ignored him, staring at the road just to spite him and to my greatest surprise, he drove off.
"Did that just happen?" Eliana asked in a shaky voice while I just stood shocked with my mouth wide open staring in the direction he had just taken off. "Did... Did he just drive off?" I asked in a very loud voice, making the passersby turn to stare at me.
I took a deep breath to calm down, and made to take money from my purse and board a taxi there but then "he took my purse too?" I shouted again, not caring about the people looking at me.
"Calm down and just walk down the direction he took, maybe he is waiting in a corner," Eliana said trying to sound calm and composed, but the shakiness of her voice betrayed her. Nothing scares a wolf more than being in another's territory unprotected and with no sense of direction.
I took a deep breath and started walking down the direction he took, hoping he stopped somewhere there but my hope was bashed when I walked to the end of the Street and still didn't see him. "What do I do now? Does that moron not know that I'm new to this fucking city? He is a dumbass bitch and I swear to God, I'm going to rip out his neck the next time I see him" I cursed out as I continued walking aimlessly
"Just ask for directions" I nodded my head and walked up to a woman and asked her for directions to the werewolf residence.
"OMG! Are you a werewolf? You're so beautiful, what am I saying, of course, you are beautiful, all werewolves are beautiful" she rambled while throwing her hands around frantically, I let out a light chuckle and backed away from her.
"Is everyone in Canada crazy?" I asked no one in particular as I kept walking, I walked around for a while before I met someone who gave me the directions. Turns out, I took the opposite direction and I had to retrace my steps back to the airport before I could get there.
"I'm freezing out here" I muttered rubbing my arms furiously, I stared at my wristwatch and growled. It's 7 pm which means I've been walking around for 4 good hours all because of that fucking bastard, my anger went up a thousand tempo, and a million ways to kill him rushed into my mind when I caught sight of a familiar Porsche car.
"We made it!" Eliana said tiredly, we've been switching control and using each other's energy to keep walking because as the rules have it; I can't shift in human territory.
I nodded my head in agreement, yes we made it, but first of all, I have a wolf to kill. I angrily marched up to him and he turned towards me as soon as he felt my presence, with a sick smile on his face "look who we have here" he said in a sweet voice and before he could utter another word, I slapped him; hard.
He held his cheek and stared at me in shock "listen to me carefully Drystan, I wouldn't let you treat me like shit! You had absolutely no reason to do what you just did but you had to be an immature asshole and let me walk around a city I don't know! What if something happened to me? Would you take responsibility?" I shouted, my eyes blazing with anger.
"You are.."
"I am not fucking done" I yelled and his eyes turned cold "I'm your fiancee Drystan, but before that, I'm an Annha and you have no choice but to respect me and treat me properly. I will not hesitate to put you in your place next time" I said breathing loudly, I made to walk into the car when he grabbed me by the throat and pushed me against the car.
"You will watch your tone when talking to me, I will not hesitate to end your life the next time you raise your voice at me, am I clear?" He said in an oddly calm and cold voice, for someone radiating such anger, but his anger got nothing on mine.
I glared at him without saying a word and he tightened his grip on my neck, I immediately kicked him in his groin and he backed away from me clutching it in pain "in case I didn't make myself clear earlier, I said that I won't hesitate to put you in your place and I think you should know your place by now Beta Drystan, you are talking to an Alpha's daughter" I spat out and walked to the car, occupying the back seat.
