CHAPTER 64


    It took them another 2 more days to part away from Orion and Samrat Kingdom. They made some


    basic decisions like vacating the mansion and using it as a school while Orion wanted to stay in the


    cabin in the wood, as a remembrance of Selena and Zaden. They took this opportunity to explore the


    land, together with Make, Xavier and Sitka. Selena specifically wanted to go to the river stream


    running in the midst of the kingdom which she saw the day she became alpha. Selena insisted on


    getting into the waters and so, the rest followed her. Zaden stood shirtless behind her, embracing her


    waist gently just in case she slips. The rest weren''t that far, just a few feet away and soon got into a


    fight of ‘Who can hold breath underwater the longest. A war of sshing water followed and Orion


    quickly cruised to Selena, standing in front of her as she grabbed his arms, peeping over at the others.


    Orion felt a stab in between his chest as he gazed at Selena. Zaden eyes were watching him as well as


    a hint of possessiveness lifted its head. Orion raised his head, facing Zaden


    ‘Are you sure you can handle her by yourself?’ he asked through mind-link to Zaden. Zaden smiled in


    return


    ‘It''s just that we both have always been her cage of safety, ever since she found out about being a


    werewolf’ Orion added


    ‘She has a whole pack as her safety fort once she bes their Luna but still, they won''t be as good


    as you and me, I agree. I will do my best’ Zaden said and Orion smiled.

    In that 2 days, most of Orion''s belonging from Mountain Manuka has arrived at Samrat. Make and


    Selena are helping to set everything up in the cabin. Orionidzily on the bed the whole time,


    bouncing a small ball off the wall in front of him. Selena has been enduring his tantrum for quite a while


    that now, she is fed up.


    “Aren''t you going to help us?” he shook his head ‘NO’. His feelings for Selena have been raging ever


    since he agreed to stay in Samrat. He is already missing her so much. These past 2 days, he spent


    most of his time tagging along with Selena, watching her secretly behind Zaden, touching her at any


    opportunity he gets which is very seldom since Zaden is always there with her. Deep down he knows


    what he is doing is wrong, but when thinking about being away from her, probably forever, it hurts him


    so much. He loses control. His lips are itching to kiss her, onest time and she is not doing anything to


    ease his pain too. Her hands came in great precision catching the ball that is just inches away from his


    face. She looked at him coldly with an eyebrow cocked


    “Make” she turned around and threw the ball to Make. She caught it and threw it back at Selena.


    Selena threw the ball back and this kept on for a few more turns before Orion stood up and dashed to


    Selena who was about to catch the ball again, grinning wide. He wrapped his hand across Selena''s


    tummy from behind. He bends down and caught her hands which have grasped the ball now. Because


    of his bend, now his nose is buried in her hair. He took the opportunity and inhaled her scent as deep


    as possible, minty orange. Make sensed an rm and stood up, swallowing her saliva with frozen


    eye.


    “You smell so...refreshing...” Selena snapped her eye up. Nobody, except for Zaden, ever talks about


    her smell. She slides his hand off her.


    “Zaden thinks so too...” she didn''t look back and walked out of the room. Zaden was pacing around the


    ground at the front porch. She saw him and paced with solemn face to him. Zaden turned around once


    he sensed her and beamed a beautiful smile towards her. He opened his hand slightly inviting her into


    his embrace and she walked straight into his chest. Sheid her cheeks into his chest, enjoying the


    warmth and scent that never fails to indulge her in serenity.


    “What''s wrong?” he is worried seeing her upset.


    “Nothing” she shook her head in his chest. Heid a kiss on her head and his eyes snapped up


    immediately with fierce, his body stiffened. Sensing this, Selena looked up at him


    “ You smell different” he said coldly, his eye still staring forward. His heart ached terribly as boiling


    blood is pumped at high speed through them. The smell of another male on his mate, his


    possessiveness kicked in full force. He is intimidating or straight-on scary to Selena.


    “Orion...It''s...It''s just Orion...” she stuttered. Her eye flickered around and her heartbeat racing, clear to


    Zaden at this much of close approximate. Zaden stepped aside in fury, ready to attack Orion.


    “Zaden, please...” Selena grabbed his arms and he stopped dead, eyes still fuming at the cabin.


    “It''s... it''s not like he had never touched me before...let it go” she said low to Zaden and he turned his


    head slightly and looked down at her pleading eye.


    “But you had never felt ufortable to his touch before, just like how your father or Aaron or Ozrain


    touches you. Now, it is different, isn''t it? Your heartbeat is shooting up, you are stuttering and your eyes


    are glistening with tears” Selena was taken back by his observation ability while he stood there with a


    tight fist.


    “Which means his touch is inappropriate. And why would you feel it''s inappropriate? Because he is


    touching you like I do, am I correct?” his voice is low with a grumble, like Satan from hell, sending a


    shiver down her spine. Selena''s eye trailed down to his abs. He had figured it out, spot-on from the


    minute changes in her. He grabbed her chin and lifted her head up, harshly


    “Nobody touches you the way I do, baby girl. Nobody touches what is mine” he moved really close to


    her, almost touching her nose tip with his but with a threatening eye. He took a step to the side and


    stride to the cabin


    ‘ I forbid you from talking about this, ever’


    A Samrat''smand and his body involuntarily stopped. He turned around.


    “Just a few days, Zaden... He is already hurt. Just let it go” she begged him. His eyes are red now. He


    zoomed past Selena. She grabbed his arms but he threw his arms up in the air, jerking her off and


    walked away into the forest, probably for a run.


    Although she had begged Zaden to stop, she couldn''t be her usual self with Orion. She kept her


    distance from him and they talked very little. It tears his heart apart. He regrets the tiny little move that


    he made earlier today, in the morning. He walked into his room in the cabin. Everything looked neatly


    organized. He sat on his bed with elbows on his knees and hands sps together in front of his face,


    shuffling the bedsheet and pulled the ball on his pillow to roll down. It tumbled down till it stopped by


    Orion''s thigh. Orion pulled his face out from his sped hand. He stared at the ball before grabbing it


    by his hand. Something hit him, as the frustration panted up within him bursts. He smashed the ball to


    the opposite wall. With a loud scream, he punched through his cupboard, putting a hole in it. He swept


    away everything on his console table. The bedsidemp was next, smashing it into pieces. He took the


    lampstand and smashed it against his headboard. Zaden and the whole pack ran to the room and


    opened the door, only to find Orion sitting on the bed edge, face down. He is dripping in sweat and his


    hands are shaking from his forceful grip on the bed. His breathing is ragged. Zaden scanned around


    the room, shocked by the level of damage he had done. Make wanted to walk to him, pass Zaden


    but Zaden put out his arms as a barrier. He thought for a minute, before looking over his shoulder at the


    now terrified Selena. He grabbed her hands and pulled her to the front, into the room and closed the


    door behind her. He stood by the door not wanting to leave her alone with him, at the same time, only


    she can remedy him. He is stuck between his love and friendship.


    In the room, Selena stood puzzled, fiddling with the hem of her shirt. She is scared to go anywhere


    near him, although she is 101% sure he is not going to hurt her. After being immobilized for what felt


    like an eternity, Selena approached Orion, step by step. He is still on the bed edge, with elbows on his


    knees. Selena stood in front of him. Her trembling hand reached to grab his hands and he pulled it


    away harshly. She flinched back and her trembling became worse. She doesn''t dare to touch him


    anymore but stood still there a few more seconds. Her own thought is torn into pieces at the moment.


    Maybe asking him to take her ce is too much? Maybe it is a bad idea? How can she counteract it?


    Just reverse everything and be the alpha, herself? They will figure out the restter. This means she


    has to separate from Zaden temporarily which racked her, of course, but at the same time, it feels


    unfair to put someone through this for her. She wiped away a drop of tear escaped down her cheeks


    without her permission. She took a step back and Orion snapped her eyes up at her. He stretched his


    hands to grab hers and pulled her into hisp, all in a lightning sh. He buried his head in the nook of


    her neck. She shrugged in dismissal and tried to push him away but he grabbed her wrist, that has


    found its way next to his chest. His nose is inhaling her scent, making her flinch every time his nose


    touches her neck. Her lips trembling.


    “I am sorry...” his voice is contradictorily calm. Selena gulped air.


    “Orion...this is obviously stressful for you. You can go back to Mountain Manuka” Orion slowly moved


    out of his hideout with a frown.


    “What?” he asked and Selena nodded frantically


    “I dismiss you. You can go back home. I will take care of this pack like how I am supposed to” tear


    edged at her eye line, threatening to fall anytime now.


    “Zaden cane to visit me every week...no biggy” she smiled gently but apanied with that tear-


    filled eyes, it looks dreadful.


    “Were you always this crazy?” he smiled and pulled her hand that he had grabbed earlier, resting her


    palm on his trimmed beard and Selena chuckled.


    “I fell for you, you didn''t. I came to terms with it, thinking at least I would be able to see you from


    distance for the rest of my life. What difference does it make when we switch ces? Me going back to


    Manuka only makes things worse because then, 2 of us must endure losing you. It will be 100 times


    worse for Zaden since he has to depart with his love, mate and his baby. That is not going to happen.


    You are going back to Manuka.” He said as calmly as possible.


    “But...” Selena was about to speak out a lengthy speech but Orion ced his index finger on her lips,


    shutting her down. Her soft lips against his skin triggered unwanted reactions and desires within him.


    His eyes lingered at her lips, absorbing each and every line and curves on them, not to mention the


    inviting rosy tone they are. His hands slipped from her lips to thrust between her hair and neck. Another


    hand holding her mid-back. He tilted his head, approaching with hesitation. Realizing what he is


    thinking of doing, Selena gasped and that stopped him, head still tilted and his lips a few inches apart


    from hers.


    “No, Orion...I am not yours. You have kissed me before, when I wasn''t anyone''s possession. But not


    today. I am Zaden''s and the weird thing is, he is mine too...he is all I need...and all I want...” at this very


    moment, she realized how much she actually loved the other man behind those closed doors. No


    reasons, no logical exnations, no scientific or psychological facts. Just blind love. When he imed


    her as him, she refused to be his property. But now, when the feeling is mutual, she is eager to im


    him and hide him in her chest, not letting anyone near him. Her hands slide between them, pushing him


    away, slowly parting from his warmth. She stood up, biting her lips in uncertainty. Could she have


    stirred his anger again? She froze there, waiting for his permission. Orion dropped his head down and


    chuckled. He is nowhere more than a friend in her heart, it is clear now. What needs to be done, should


    be done. He stood up with newfound determination and courage, grabbed her hand and pulled her


    behind him. Dashed open the cabin door to see Zaden''s back. His hand was grabbing a wooden chair


    with force, enough to break it. Zaden looked over his shoulder with a frown when he heard a thud


    behind him. Orion smirked at him and pulled Selena to his front, enough force to toss her to Zaden.


    She trots to Zaden and he turned around to catch her. Tears rolling down her cheeks as she hid her


    face between his chest. Zaden cupped her head and tilted her up.


    “What happen?” he is concerned for her. Selena forgot to answer him, losing herself in his bronzy


    chocte eye.


    “She won''t talk, cat caught her tongue” Orion said, earning full attention from Zaden as he darted his


    eyes to him.


    “She won''t go anywhere out of Mount Manuka, Zaden caught her heart” he smiled gently with arms


    across his chest and Zaden chuckled


    “Now, get out of here and mark her as soon as possible, so that she doesn''t tear any other male''s


    heart” Orion said sternly.


    The next morning itself, Mountain Manuka pack took off to their home, leaving behind Orion in Samrat


    with Make and Selena in full tears.


    “ 15days! Just 15 days. You have turned our life''s upside down and now, you are crying for what?


    Regret not doing enough damage?” Orion raised his eyebrow with a smile, mocking Selena. She stifled


    augh between her tears.


    “Shut up” Selena still sobbing


    “See you sissy.Send my regard to Dahlia” Orion


    “Be good, ok?” Make caressed his cheeks.


    The boys exchanged their hugs before they left for Mountain Manuka, leaving behind a childhood


    friend, a warrior and most of all, a trustworthy Beta.


    What blossomed between Selena and Zaden is beyond hormonal and chemistry. It was a mutual share


    of love, of two people of the same kind and equal status-widely epted and blessed. But what about


    Orion''s love towards her? He still has feelings for a woman that will never be his. He left everything


    behind so that she could be happy with the man she loved. Is his love a sin?


    Epsilon, a cruel king, who had killed Elisa for the woman he loved and for her happiness. He might be


    cruel to the whole world but he never gave away Queen Aira''s true nature and epted death happily,


    why? In hope that she would still be happy after his death. He might havemitted a thousand sins,


    but is his love for Aira a sin?


    Elisa and Ozrain had loved mutual love towards each other, just like Zaden and Selena, only they are


    from different kind and status. Ozrain left her because his people were his priority but he never lived a


    happy life afterward. The moment he sees the opportunity to get her back, he didn''t spare a second. Is


    his love a sin?


    When Ozrain realized that he had lost Elisa, he spent the rest of his life, looking for an unknown child.


    Daisymitted suicide to save her daughter. Is that not considered love?


    Love shouldn''t be something based on good looks, money or status. It is an unconditional feeling


    towards each other. If none of the above love is a sin, then why love between the same gender is still


    taboo, is still considered a sin? Or age difference is greatly stressed when a young woman falls for an


    old man? Or status difference still ys a major role in certain cultures around the world?


    An outrageous man set the quest to concur the world. Everything and anything in his path turns into


    ashes, if that what he wishes. That much of power, that much of courage. Till the day he meets love of


    his life. He is believed to havemitted suicide for that one woman. That man was Adolf Hitler and


    his love was Eva Braun


    Everything is fair in love and war......
