The Alpha's Goddess

Chapter 2

Selene feels a searing heat run through her body, it feels like hot pokers are piercing her olive skin and going into her nerves. She arches her back and grips the bed sheet. Is this what death feels like?, is she in hell?. She opens her eyes and screams in agony. Sweat is dripping off her body. The sound of music playing upstairs is something she is thankful for.

"Just breath Selene. It is your marking coming out on your body. It will be over soon"
"It hurts"
"It will be worth it trust me"
Selene doesn't know how long she is in agony for but it feels like hours. When the burning goes to a dull ache she lies flat on the bed and reaches over for her phone. As she leans across she notices the bruising on her arms are no longer there and instead there is a tattoo of a wolf with the most beautiful eyes. They look like a galaxy is inside them.

"What the...."
"Beautiful aren't I"
"This is you?"
"Yes"
"Why do I have a tattoo of you on my arm?"
"Because it is the symbol of the most badass wolf and her badass Master"
"Badass?, Last time I checked I was a punch bag"
"Not anymore. Stand up"
Selene stands up and Storm tells her to stand with her back to the mirror.

"Why?"
"I will show you what your back markings look like"
"Is this some sort of prank?"
"No. Just do it"
Selene entertains her wolf and lifts her top up and then she gets the image of the phases of the moon going from her nape all the way down her spine.

"It is better than a tramp stamp I suppose"
Storm bursts out laughing and Selene puts her top down. She goes and sits on the bed and looks at the tattoo on her arm. Her fingers tracing over it. A calmness washing over her. When she hears the door to the cellar open her calmness soon vanishes. The footsteps though are different to what she is used to, they are light and not as loud as the others in the house.

She looks and sees a guy that she has never met stood their looking at her. He gasps when he sees her and then drops to his knees.

"Please forgive me I had no idea they were mistreating you"
"Um sorry but do I know you?"
"My name is Gideon."
"Okay"

"I came to let you out so you can phase in a more comfortable area. Don't worry the others are preoccupied and won't find out"
"Let's go Selene"
Selene feels her self moving forward and Gideon gives her a hoodie to put on.

"It is Eleanor's hoodie so the wolves won't smell you when we go past."
Selene simply nods and puts it on and then puts a cap on and follows Gideon. When they get to the main hall it is empty but the music is loud. Not loud enough though as she feels someone grip her hair. She is spun around and comes face to face with Axel. Before she knows what is happening she feels his punch land repeatedly on her face. Gideon tries to stop him but Alpha Greyson interrupts.

"She is a thieve she needs to be punished. Those are the rules"
Axel punches her once more before she falls to the floor, her face already feeling swollen and she can feel the blood leaking from her nose. Axel grabs her by the hair, the cap long gone. He pulls her into the main hall and signals for Alex to stop the music. Everyone moves out of the way when they see him dragging the bloodied girl. Broderick growls and goes in front of him.

"Seriously your starting to piss me off now"
"She is a thieve and thieves get punished."
Gideon rushes in and everyone turns to see fear on his face, something the elders have never shown.

"Please you need to let her go right now."
Axel looks at him and smirks.

"I am only following your rules Elder Gideon."
Axel suddenly kicks her in the Jaw, the crack sounding through the hall. Most of the packs are loving seeing someone who stole get punished. Broderick is seething and when Daxon notices he looks at him. Daxon was the Alpha of the Moon pack and also the Alpha Regent for these parts.
