The Supreme Alpha

At War......

Selena's ' POV

' if only I had let go of my past and faced my fears, James wouldn't have to hide in the dark today and he could have had a life of his own rather than protecting me ", I confessed finally letting out all the guilt I had harboured since that time. " It's all my fault...... ", I wept. I felt Damien slowly wrap his arms around my shoulders reassuringly. " Shhhh... It's ok... It's not your fault... We all have weaknesses, we all have fears in our past, sometimes they turn into monsters that haunt us. You were scared to face them and that's ok cuz we all take our own time to gather the courage. Don't blame yourself for whatever happened. " He said trying to console me. "I know it will take you time to completely open up about your  and face your fears and I promise I'll stay by your side and help you in any way I can. I'm sure this is what James thought when he saved your life. You were his only family, and he knew you would do the same for him and trust me he wouldn't want you to guilty trip yourself about that. " He reassured. A small smile broke on to my lips seeing how mush he was worried about me even when he met me only a few days ago. 

" ......... " I tried to speak but my voice seemed to fail me and a comfortable silence swept in. With my head resting on his Chest and our fingers entwined I wished this moment would last forever. A strong gust of wind pushed through the window letting in the mid-night breeze along with the gentle moonlight of the full moon that rose. I could feel his heart beat calm my mind down and his ragged breathe make my heart race. The wind swept away all the heaviness in the room and replaced it with a romantic temptation aided by our close proximity. I stood up and went to stand by the window sill trying to clear my mind. As if  he had read my mind he came up from behind and stood by me reassuring me with his presence. As the cool breeze fanned my face a calm and relaxed smile began to form on my face. He placed his hand on top of mine and gently squeezed mine to which I turned to face him but before i could say anything a loud explosion was heard by us from the vampire territory. 'BOOM!!!! ', ' what could cause such a huge explosion!? ' I thought seeing a huge cloud of smoke arising from somewhere in the city. Suddenly repeated knocking played on the door which Damien opened to reveal a panicking James with shaking hands. " Selena..... W-we.... Ne-eed...... to go.... Ba-ck.... "Shuttered James. "James calm down.... Deep breaths buddy, it's ok whatever it is im gonna take care of it.", I said trying to calm him down and went forward and held his shaking hands in mine trying to help him. After I held him, he looked at me in desperation and broke into tears. He hugged me tightly and began to cry bitterly like a small child who was lost. I patted his back and said in a soothing tone, " Shhh..... What's wrong J?.... Shhh...... I'll help you out now tell me what has happened? ". " Selena...sob... It's.... Gram....sob.. Grampa.....sob... He's gone..sob.. ", he blurted. I was taken aback. Now tears began to trickle down from my eyes. It felt as if someone had knocked out all the air from my lungs and it felt hard for me to even breathe. 

Hearing that the man who cared, raised, fulfilled my every whim and made me who I am today was just gone in the blink of an eye, broke me from the inside. The pain was piercing me from the inside out. I fought back my tears as i slowly patted J trying to comfort him but it was getting hard even for me to hold on.

the next few days just blurred past us with a heavy heart. J and i went back to our turf to regroup the survivors of the rampage and grant proper funerals for our deceased. standing in the funeral grounds i watched hundreds of pyres burning almost reminding of the massive burning riots that took down my clan house. amidst all the bodies cremated there was one that was buried. it was his will to be buried rather than cremated as he wanted to keep his promise to always be present for us. j wouldn't take a break these days ,sometimes i worry if it was stupid of me to have dragged him into my mess. gramps had a choice and he chose to stand u for me knowing the risk but J.... he just jumped into this world without knowing the risks and till date he doesnt even fear them. Looking at him work so hard for our dream so that we can catch that bastard that killed gramps just fuels my thirst for revenge. 

So we came up with the plan to convince the local vampire lords and alphas of minor clans to team up against the enemy in a united front. Damien and Marcus together were able to round up a good 7000 wolves apart from their clan armies while J and i ran into a rough patch. the lords wouldnt easily unite given their coven wars for land and food so J and i began to acquire their covens through the company, buying up lands and offering surplus food supplies in exchange for men and those who resisted were mercilessly slaughtered by the both of us. 

Although none of us knew when, we know it in our bones that there was a war brewing so we wanted to look it in the eye and take revenge for all those we lost in vain....
