Selene's pov
"Ugh!" I groaned as I woke up to the bright, sharp ray of sunlight directly hitting my face. 'where I'm I?' i wondered
The events of the previous day was hazy for me at the moment. I lazily glanced around and realised I was in the wooden house. Ronan's home.
I also realized that I was naked and that's when it all came rushing back to me. The events of the previous night.
I blushed when I thought about it. It was wild, exciting. I felt myself grow hot just at the thought of it.
Ronan completely dominated me. I had no chance to refuse. I couldn't struggle.
At this point I was starting to doubt who I truly was or what my personality was like. I never considered myself to be such a weak willed person.
But Ronan made my insides go soft. I was immensely conflicted. Could I trust him?
He keeps saying I'm his, but can I really take his word for it?
I was not sure, and with that weird dream of mine and the voice.....
My head was utterly messy currently. I got up, freshened up and casually threw on one of his oversized t-shirt again. Then, I went to the sitting room to meet him there silently slipping on a cup of coffee.
I balled my hands into fists to keep my cool, and then greeted softly.
"Hey" I said and he looked at me.
"You're awake" he said as he looked away and pointed at cup of coffee, slowly giving off steam at the table.
"Drink that while it's still hot" he said and I obediently complied and sat down, grabbing the coffee and sipping lightly. Enjoying the warmth.
I then looked at Ronan who seemed absentminded at the moment.
"Why?" I threw a question out of nowhere and he glanced at me.
"Why what?"
I hesitated a bit, then sighed, "why won't you let me go?, I get it that I'm yours, but that's all I am isn't it?" I asked and he smirked.
"What?, Thinking of running away again?, You're free to try. Just a little info, the punishment will increase on your next try" he said
"I don't understand, the wolf prince is coming and yet you won't let me leave" I said and he frowned.
"Who cares about that trash?, He can come for all he cares" he replied
I sighed, "So won't you release me to him if he asks of me?"
"Why would I do that?, I already told you, you're mine" he replied and I rolled my eyes, "he's the wolf prince you know and you're banished, no offence, but don't you think you'll have to do everything he commands?"
Ronan stared at me for moment and I couldn't help but feel nervous, then he chuckled.
"Ah, I get it now. You don't trust me" he said and I kept silent.
"That's understandable. Your loving family didn't hesitate to give to him, much less me, a banished Alpha" he said and he clenched his jaws tightly as he did.
"How much do you know about me?" He asked and I thought a bit.
"Well, they say you're a terrifying, cruel, bloodthirsty demon, a beast with no rationality, you kill and eat other werewolves for sport. You're merciless and dangerous and all that" i replied and he chuckled.
"That's all you know?, Interesting" he said and I frowned, "why?, Is there something I'm missing?" I asked
"Yep, a lot. But remember this, I'm an Alpha, banished or not, I'm still an Alpha and I was also a prince" he said and paused.
"My point is, I don't f*****g care about that p***y you all call a prince. Hanks doesn't dare stand straight in front of me. Secondly, if I say you're mine. It means you belong to me, and no one, not your family, not that trash or his father, not even the moon goddess can take you away from me!" Ronan's declaration was accompanied by his powerful aura.
I stared at him in awe. At this point I couldn't help but doubt all the rumors I've heard about him.
"You're quite different from the rumors" I said and he shrugged.
"How so?, You were expecting some horrifying beast that ate nothing but flesh non-stop?" He asked and I shook my head at have the thought of that.
"Actually the rumors aren't exactly all that wrong, it's just that, most times, rumors tend to get too exaggerated. Makes people just hate and tremble when they hear your name" he said as he stood and walked away.
I couldn't help but feel he looked really lonely at this moment. But I wasn't done with my questions.
"So did you kill werewolves and eat them?" I asked nervously, for some reason I prayed it would not be true.
"Killing other werewolves, yes, a lot. Eating them? Nah? Too smelly, too dirty. I like my meat neatly roasted or barbecued" he replied and I couldn't help but chuckle.
"You don't seem terrifying as they say" I commented and he just smiled.
"I told you before Selene. All those rumors aren't exactly all that wrong. I am as terrifying as they say. I'm merciless when it comes to killing. I don't care if it's a member of my race or not.
I'm a total monster" he said as he went to the kitchen. I sighed as I became lost in thought.
Honestly, I had never really paid attention to what happened in the race. I just never bothered to care about those.
Unlike other werewolves, I was very much attached to living with regular humans. Everything was fun. I had ton of friends, and was pretty popular in school as well.
But ever since I returned home. My phone got seized. I was placed in the gruesome, endless training exercise that I hated a lot.
Ronan came back with a bottle of wine. It looked old.
"Want some?" He asked and I nodded.
"By the way, what's with those wolves last night. They didn't leave when I snarled at them and their Alpha, felt...old, ancient" I said as I watched him pour my a glass of wine.
Ronan nodded, "long before I got here, Bloodthorn has always been home to one of the most powerful beasts in our region. That's why it's considered dangerous and forbidden in the first place.
That's why I was sent here. That Alpha wolf, is one of such powerful creatures. Which is why, you shouldn't randomly roam about the forest" he said,
"But I had already left Bloodthorn region" I protested.
"But he had your scent" he replied.
"What does he want?"
"He wants to assert his dominance and make you his play thing. His trophy. That he enslaved a blessed wolf by himself"
I nodded calmly as if that didn't sound terrifying. This means if Ronan hadn't come last night, I might have......
"Thank you" I said and he chuckled darkly.
"You can thank me in the bed later" he replied and I shivered, looking away from him.
"Can I at least see my best friend and my brother?" I asked and he scoffed.
"Don't bother. The entire werewolf region is in a complete lockdown, one step out of this forest and you're taken instantly" he replied.
"What how do you know all this? Is it Kieran that told you or you went and checked yourself?" I asked curiously,
"Doesn't matter, you're not going anywhere" he replied and I frowned. Then my stomach grumbled making Ronan chuckle,
"Hey that's not funny, I'm hungry you know!" I exclaimed unhappily
"Then, get something from the kitchen. Whatever you need is there" he said and stood up leaving in a huff.
"He can't even make me simple breakfast, he's not even romantic" I muttered under my breath as I walked away.
But when I got to the kitchen and casually opened a closed plate on the counter, I was stunned. It was the smell that hit me first. It was heavenly divine........

Ronan's pov
I heard her scream "Amazing!" From the kitchen and I smiled slightly which I quickly got rid off.
For some reason I tend to smile too easily. I'd laugh and chuckle too. Something I've never really done in couple years now.
And it was because of her, she was just the cute and adorable and damn seductive at the same time.
I had a hard time looking at her due to her wearing an oversized t-shirt of mine again.
I groaned as I forced myself to calm down. Not now. I've got work to do.
That little prick, Hanks has managed to grab his old man's attention, though it's not for long, it would enough.
If they were coming, I needed to be prepared.
No one will take away my mate from me. From the moment I claimed her, Selene was destined to be mine forever and nothing could change that......
