Chapter 73
I already began to feel the satisfaction of proving them wrong. Weston too, was feeling smug. It was all until I heard Selene sigh beside me that I realized what was happening. Her focus returned to the door again and before I could control myself, I spoke.
“Alpha Crestfield.”
Just the idea of talking to her was messing up my nerves. I knew if I didn’t come up with a good reason to convince her to stay, she would leave.
She’d leave and I wouldn’t be able to see her again.
My wolf whimpered at the thought.
Don’t go.
I want to tell her, but I have no reason to. Everything inside me screams for me to tell her not to go. It begs me to convince her to stay, to allow me the privilege of being in her presence. And now, with her gaze locked with mine, I’m feeling that need to keep her by my side much more.
“I’d like to ask you to accompany us.”
I say, in almost a whisper.

She looked around, obviously confused.
“For reassurance as a liable witness.”
Even to me, it sounded like bul lshit. But I guess it was hard to detect to the others because she merely stood there contemplating.
“You wouldn’t mind, would you?”
I probe. Her Beta, who I now noticed standing behind her, looked between Selene and I in obvious confusion. He definitely feels the tension between us but couldn’t make sense of it. Just like Weston who was still trying to figure it out. Finally, after a few moments of silence, Selene just shakes her head with the purse of her lips.
“No, I suppose I could go.”
I can’t begin to explain the tremendous amount of relief I felt after hearing her say that. Knowing I still had some time left with her before she eventually leaves. My wolf panted out, tail still wagging high and low.
No one wasted time in getting into their own vehicles when going to the Moon Goddess’ Sacred Pool. The entire ride there I felt Weston’s persistent gaze on me. I knew he had questions but I didn’t have the answers to them. At least, that’s what I think.
How the hell was I supposed to explain my desire for her presence.
It would sound like an obsession. An infatuation I surely didn’t have!
I was just… intrigued.
I scoffed silently to myself.
Liar.
When we arrived at the pool, the tension that was created in the office returned.
“The entrance is that way.”
Beta Dixon said, looking directly at me. Part of me thinks he’s waiting for me to back out. Like he figured I was going to pull back on my agreement because I was guilty of the claims him and his
daughter were pinning on me. I had to admit, the guy had balls. He was really out here, threatening me with his wolf, when he knew I could easily snap his neck like a twig.
