Moonlit Secrets

CHAPTER 5

OLCAN’S POV

There he was standing there. I almost let my anger get the better of me and that would have been bad for the rebellion. Selene looks like such a sweet girl and very powerful too. She is indeed very beautiful and I can’t help but be a little smitten by her charming emerald green eyes and wavy auburn hair . Down to her bodily features. She height me at a little above my waist, which I find cute for the attitude she has.

“Olcan, won’t you come have dinner ? Your uncle and I have been waiting for you at the table” Aunt Catra came into my room, breaking me away from my thoughts.” Sure I’ll be there in a few “ I responded and she nods and leaves closing the door behind her.

Uncle Bleidd and Aunt Catra have taken care of me since I was little. They’re not my biological family but they took care of me since I was brought here from Oberon during the siege almost 18 years ago. I’ve spent my whole life preparing for the day I would finally get my revenge on the alpha of Xadia for everything that happened that day.

I still have nightmares about it . Seeing my father's throat slit till he bled to death in front of me. The look on that bastard Edmond's face as he watched him bleed with his claws seeping with more of my fathers blood. It still feels like it’s all happening sometimes.

I have used that day as a drive for justice. I have planned and trained and gotten stronger all for the day I would finally get revenge and on him for killing my family and wiping out my realm. Selene is the final link to my plan for vengeance. I volunteered to be her trainer so I could get closer to the alpha and finally take action.

It’s not just me who wants revenge, but there are other wolves here in Xadia that were brought here after Edmunds siege . Some were from Synus and Oberon too. We all formed a rebellion head by my uncle Bleidd and we have all been planning to seek justice for our loved ones and everything we lost to Edmund during the siege.

I get up and headed to the dinner table. I sit and start eating . “ How’s the training going? Any leads yet ?” My uncle Bleidd asks “it’s going good , The girl is warming up to everything and it’s going as planned” I respond. “Be sure to focus on why you’re there and not the girl I can see the way you look after each of the times you returned from seeing her” uncle Bleidd says sternly. I just continue eating, then leave the table and head out the back.

I keep thinking of what uncle Bleidd said about Selene. I know I’m not meant to fall for her but I can’t help but have her at the back of my thoughts. Since I met her at her party. I heard she was beautiful but I didn’t know it she was THIS beautiful. But I won’t be swerved by beauty. She could be just like her father and the rest of the guard at Xadia. But deep down I sense she’s different. She gives nothing but pure energy and I won’t lie I loved all our encounters so far.

But like uncle Bleidd said I have to focus on the mission of the rebellion. As much as I like the thought of Selene I can’t let myself be swayed by it.

After much thought I go back inside and lay on my bed and soon after im asleep .

SELENE’S POV

Rue gets as frightened as I was when I tell her about the dream . “ look Sel I don’t think you should dwell on it so much I mean it’s just a bad dream” she says “I’m trying but I just keep thinking about it . The dream felt more like a message and I hate the way I felt in it.” I say back worriedly. “ Selene you’re one day going to become alpha , I suggest you don’t waste your life bothered about a silly nightmare, look I have nightmares all the time. I had one about my pet Tascal dying, but did he die? No” she says And I hear her pet bird Tascal tweet after she continues “what I’m saying is it’s not a message or anything it was just a dream. Now go home, relax and get some rest for more lessons with Olcan tomorrow “ she winks after she mentions Olcan and I roll my eyes “alright finee thanks Rue , I’ll see you tomorrow “. Say hi to Phelan for me she says with a little smile. Rue has liked Phelan since we were little but Phelan liked me and till date she still likes Phelan . It’s kinda awkward but she knows I don’t talk to him anymore, but I just agree saying “sure” . Then I leave.

I’m back home again . I go to greet my mom and dad before having dinner and going back to bed. I’m soon asleep. I see myself back at my burning house. With wolves howling around with bloody claws . Some Dead werewolves are also lying limp on the floor. I look up to the roof and see the red eyed werewolf about to throw the other werewolf it’s holding by the throat down. I still can’t make out who it is. I scream “stop!!! Who are you ??! Don’t kill him please” . The red eyed werewolf ignores my cries and throws the other down and immediately my heart feels like it’s sinking. I begin to cry although I still can’t see who it is. I try to move toward the body to see who it is then a puff of smoke appears and I see a woman all dressed in white with long dark hair reaching her feet . She calls to me “Selene! Come with me”. I hesitantly follow her and then she takes me away from this chaos into a garden . It’s like somewhere miles away from Xadia. She says “when no one you know tells you the truth, you learn to see under the surface”. I look at her confused by what she just said “ what truth? Please I do not understand “ I reply back . “ The truth under the surface “ she says and suddenly disappears. In a split second I’m back to the chaos . I start running and running then I notice the injury on my stomach again. I collapse and I’m picked up by the same strong man from my last dream whose face I couldn’t make out but I still managed to recognize his fiery hazel eyes before I lost consciousness.

I get up with fear and I start breathing fast only to see I’m back in my room but it’s still dark. I’m sweating profusely and I place my hand to my chest .” It was that nightmare again” . I go to my bathroom to wash my face but after I needed air . So I decide to go out of the house for a bit. I walk to the garden and sit as the night breeze blows my hair. The moonlight kissing my skin. And I feel a bit relaxed. I hear rustling of leaves like someone else is here . “Hello?!” I say but no one responds. I walk toward where I heard the noise from and I’m shocked to see Phelan.
