Too Precious to be Rejected ✔️

Chapter 12

Selene's POV

I crouched down next to the body, checking her wrist for a pulse. I found none, My eyes moistened as a mother's heartbroken sob tore threw the night.

I picked the child up, cradling her in my arms.

"Pacem in mortem," I murmured as I handed the lifeless child to her crying mother. I turned to Tyler's pack, my eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Do you understand now, why you must learn to defend yourselves? If you can't fight, more children will fall victim to the attack of a Rogue or a Vampire."

No one said anything as I passed them. A little girl was killed by a rogue. An innocent girl had gone into the woods to play, and then she died.

My heart broke in two as I saw the family weep for the lost child. Chase and Starr watched me walked into the house and the twins wrapped me in their arms.

The tears I'd held back seeped out onto Kayden's shirt and sniffled pathetically. He silently rubbed my back soothingly, holding me as I cried.

"I don't want to see that happen again," I sniffled. "I dont want to see another dead child."

"I know, I know," Karl murmured reassuringly. I curled up on my bed and promptly fell asleep.

The next day I awoke, the sun was shining brightly in the clear blue sky. I yawned and stood up, stretching my arms over my head.

After showering, I change into a pair of hip hugging sweat pants and a white tank top, I tied my hair up in a high ponytail, and then walk downstairs.

I walked into a totally deserted kitchen and glanced around in shock.

It was Saturday, usually everyone was crowding the kitchens and it was imposible to get anything to eat, but there was absolutely no one.

Upon walking into the game room, I found that no one was there either. No one was in the house, It appeared. Where the hell was everybody? I walked outside and saw my pack, working with Tyler's.

My eyes widened in surprise, they had never willingly gone to practice before. Was it the child that passed away motivated them? It's about damn time.

I walked over to Kris.

"What's going on?" I asked him.

"We realize that our prejudices againts having your pack training us wasn't worth sentancing our pack members to death," Kris said, sounding smart than I had ever heard him before.

"Wow," was all I could say.

"It's all thanks to you, Selene, it was you who made us realized that we needed to be able to protect the kids in this pack. Next time it could be my little brother," Kris told me.

"Good job," I said as I patted him on the back. "Now get your furry butt back over there,"

Kris laughed and ran back over to where Chance was standing. They went back to sparring and I walked around the designated training area to see other's accomplishments.

They were doing better than they'd ever done and I wasn't the least bit surprised.

Sometimes, it takes a couple bumps in the road to get you to your destination. A smile found its way onto my lips as I sat down to observe the fighting pairs.

Soon, Tyler broke off from the group to come sit next to me.

"This is all because of you, Selene," he told me.

"Kris just said the same thing," I said.

"Well, it's true," He smiled at me.

"That's nice to hear," I sighed.

"So, could you ever forgive me?" he asked hesitantly. Oh god, not again.

I groaned loudly. "I really do not know, Tyler, But if I did, I doubt I would ever accept you as my mate,"

"Well, that kills," he muttered. "But I guess I can sorta see your point,"

"You'll find somebody to be your Alpha Female," I assured him. " I'm not the person to be the Luna of this pack. Sorry, Tyler,"

"It's okay, Selene, maybe we'll be able to be friends, at least?" He suggested.

"Eh, maybe," I shrugged. "We'll see,"

Tyler grinned and jumped up, running off to spar again. I rubbed the back of my neck in exhaustion. Truth was, as much as wanted to hate Tyler, eventually I'd probably go running to him. And that scared me.
