Sinful Love

Selena is standing in front of the dark passage.

“You are not sending me in first, are you?” Selena smiled sheepishly and when they nodded, her smile died off. With the act she put up there, she has no choice but to obey now, does she?

She slowly turned around and looked carefully at the passage. A hand pushed her from behind, making her take a step into the passage. It smelled bad and wet in there. Selena noticed that the floor is solid thou, as if its made out of cement or wood. Not even a few meter, she stretched her hand to her back and pulled the first thing she could grab. Orion came thudding her back, laying his chin on her shoulder. His breathing was shaky as they all focused to the front. Step by step, she went forward. She started sweating from anxiety. It was pitch black and she couldn’t see anything. A sudden metal clanking was what need to make her turn around to run away and bump into something hard. It was Xavier and he turned her around to walk further. A few more meters and the temperature of air around them started dropping, a breeze of air can be felt. Selena’s vision getting clearer and clearer as a little light came through. In her vision, a man was standing ahead of her, a few meters at least. She could only see him shadowy.

“Oh my god, there is someone here” she whispered and Makeala came to her other shoulder

“Really, where?” She whispered in return and Selena pointed ahead, slightly to her left. A sudden knock fell on her head

“Ouch!!!” Selena

“That’s Zaden, you freak” Makeala steeping in anger. He must have slipped pass her, to her front as any alpha would, protecting their pack. She felt a great relief, she paced faster. They finally walked out of the passage into a cave, a very tall and vast cave. Their presence spooked some bad and started flying around with screeching sound. Selena grabbed Zaden shirt on the sides of his waist and hid her face into his back. Orion raised his jacket to cover her face and his other hand was holding her arm across. She could see Zaden’s hands stretched to his back, making sure she is hidden behind him and his other arm covered his face. Selena is in a safe embrace by the two men. The bats flew crazy pass them. Makeala was embraced by Xavier and Sitka as they had crouched to the ground. After everything has calmed down, Selena peeped from behind Zaden, inspecting her surroundings. She stepped out a bit more bravely, making Zaden roll his eye and sigh out. She was looking for an opening.

“It’s over there, shorty” Zaden mocked her, making her snap her head at him with anger. She noticed a scrape on his cheek and tried to touch it, making Zaden hiss. She pursed her lips

“Serves you right for calling me shorty” she huffed and walked away. The opening was behind a huge rock, a few meters up a bunch of rocks, so, at 5.2 feet, Selena couldn’t see it. She had to start climbing for her to see the opening. Zaden being at the front, climbed up first, and turned to give a hand to Selena. Orion, Xavier, Makeala and Sitka followed one by one. At the opening, a thick curtain of vine cascade, making it hard to see outside. Zaden slightly moved the vines with a finger and the other hand holding Selena’s hand, tightly. He peeped out. It looked safe but still Zaden turned around, grabbed Orions hand with his free hand and placed Orion’s hand over Selena shoulder as he looked over her to other and give out an instruction

“Wait here, I’m going to check the surrounding first.” He then walked out without looking back at Selena and Orion held her shoulders tight. It took quite a long time that they started feeling anxious. Then Zaden came back and instructed everyone to follow him. They walked out and the first thing Selena saw was the camping zone she mentioned earlier. Zaden was way ahead of them and they rushed to follow him. There was a path that went far out of the forest. They walked the path, for about 30 minutes till it ended up to a roadway. From the roadway, they can see a town, the one that Orion took Selena and Jeffry before, to make phone call and buy dress. From brick house, it will take 6 hours by foot, 3 hours as werewolf and 2 hours by jeep to get here. But via the passage that they had found, it will take only 45 minutes for a werewolf to get here. It is the fastest secret passage way. They walked to the phone booth and looked around for a while, what shops are there, any werewolves or rogues are there, anything suspicious and such. When none found, Zaden signaled to go back when Selena hold his arms with both her hands., she can only grab his arm completely by combining both her hands.

“Zaden…hmm…can I make a phone call, please?” her eye were literally begging him and she was saying million prayers in her heart. Zaden didn’t realize how much she must have missed her family and friends. He sighed out and grabbed her hand before placing his wallet in her hands.

The leader’s pack stood a few meters away from the phone booth, with hot coffee in paper cup, talking about miscellaneous stuff. Selena called her dad, then Jewel, then Jeffry who was with Noah and Oliver. It took her over 30 minutes to wrap up and she came running out with a wide grin.

“Done?” Zaden asked, she nodded frantically

“Let’s go” Zaden grabbed her wrist and they started walking towards the cave.

Back at the communal room, Grandpa Kai was surrounded by leader’s pack and Selena. They explained to him of what they found. Grandpa Kai sighed

There was a rumor about passage ways dug up by Samrat’s army to enter mountain regions without being noticed, a way to send spy and retrieve information safely, if needed, their army to attack. In both my age and your father’s age, we searched every inch of

werewolf will be able to detect it. How did you guys find out?” Grandpa Kai asked and all of them looked at Selena, who have successfully found her tub of chocolate ice-cream and busy digging it. At the end of communal meeting, everyone went out minding their own business. Zaden was still there, semi-seated on a table. Selena also

As per plan, Selena came out of the house at 11pm and Zaden was waiting for her around the rose edges. White t-shirt and light blue jeans, with his leather strap branded watch, a grey boots. Selena froze for a minute as this whole thing looked familiar, the first dream she had with her dream crush with minor changes. He extended his hand for Selena to grab and she did with a dead pan expression. They started walking away.
