Sinful Love

As promised, Zaden and the leader’s pack took or dragged Selena to the camping site. And as expected, she didn’t have any peace of mind. For time being, her mind hearing capability only works on protecting this 5 people. It might have worked to her father and brother as well, but there is no way of finding out since they are not with her. Zaden and Orion behaved as if they have preplanned to make Selena suffer. They attended to the girls, talked to them in private, even gave a welcoming hug to them. Their thought train was wrecking hell in Selena, purely raw. She could never figure out how school girls, younger than her, could have known such vivid information about sex. If only their thoughts had been put to work at the same time, Zaden and Orion would be ripped to pieces. Sophie also came to the camping, as the teacher’s pet. The lake that they have chosen is Lake Thao, the same lake that allowed everyone to fish at their wish. A wooden plank bridge with simple handrail had been installed, which was not there the last time Selena came here. A new installation to facilitate or encourage fishing. Selena was sitting on the bank of the river with her head between her knees, when someone plopped next to her.

“Having fun?” It was Orion

“You know, I just made a blacklist and you are number 1 on it, followed by your alpha. Congratulations!!!” she said with a pursed lips, making Orion to chuckle. Right at that moment, Sophie ran into Orion’s lap.

“Orion, can be go swimming?” she asked in the most cutest accent.

“”Oh no sweety, you are not good at swimming and these lake is very deep…” he said in a sweet tone but all they get is a downward curled lips and a sad face. She turned to Selena

“Prewty girl, can you swim in deep waters?” sensing where this is going, Selena shook her head no with the same downward curled lips and sad eyes.

“I don’t understand, you are grownups, you are supposed to know everything” Orion looked at Selena with a longing look

“Not always, sweety… we have our own inabilities too” he said, eyes still on Selena. He had been trying to tell her how he feel about her, but till now he doesn’t know how. There are things grown up are incapable of. After complaining a few more minutes, Sophie ran away to her mother, probably with the same question, making Selena and Orion smile

“Selena…do you like it here, in Mount Manuka?” he asked, probing her to talk.

“Yes…what not to like…I mean, I miss my family but Zaden promised to bring me to meet them once this 15days is over” she said casually. She rolled her eye, followed with a tight blink when a girl passed by them as her eye ogling Orion. Orion laughed at her

“Shut up” she snapped and glared back at the girl

“Ok fine…what do you like the most here?” he asked after his laughter is suppressed

“The nature…the clean breeze and the beautiful mountains…” she answered

“Whom do you like the most here?” Orion

for those school girls” she said still glaring

you find anyone that you like exceptionally deeper than all of us?” Orion probed, his smile line around at the corner of his eyes haven’t faded from his last laughter. Selena’s eye froze

the water and ripple marks and had an instinct to where Sophie must have fallen. She jumped into that direction. Just as she expected, she saw something in pink, the dress Sophie was wearing and steered herself towards it. She managed to grab the child and swim up but just before she could hit the surface, something grabbed on to her left feet. Selena struggled to release her feet but the grip was too strong. Bubbles of her breath is wasted in the struggle. Her brain started working. She could hold on a few more minutes but the child might not and Sophie could be the indicator of their location. She stretched her arms up and pushed Sophie to the surface, still fighting to release her legs. Within a flash, someone had come to grab Sophie. Once Sophie was out of her hand, Selena bent down to release her feet from whatever that it’s stuck on. It wasn’t something, it was someone. A skinny hand was encircling her feet, a very old, white and long nailed hand. She subconsciously screamed releasing an array of bubble to the surface. Orion who had just passed Sophie to
