Green tee, black camo trousers and black combat boots never looked better on someone.

Her anger disappeared the moment she noticed Selene.

They both remained in silence for a moment.

Hey.-The Beta spoke with her hands up, in her midsection height, showing she's no threat

hey.-Selene answered cautiously

She just woke up, Jet. Go easy on her, ok?-Lena

Sure.-The Beta answered

Selene felt her body aching to be near the Beta.

Back to the source of heat she felt when she was unconscious.

Just like a magnet. As if her body was pulling her closer. Inviting her closer.

Selene approached her.

Selene. I'm happy you're awake.-The Beta spoke

Me too.-Selene

Do you have a minute or two?-The Beta

Of course.-Selene

They went to somewhere more private.

One hallway with no one nearby.

Are you here with your pack? Or are you alone?-Selene

Some of them are patrolling around.-The Beta

The Beta leaned on the wall.

I can't believe you're here. I thought you wouldn't help.-Selene

In the flesh…we need to talk.-The Beta

Those two who killed you are allies with the Council now…and they're coming. They know you're alive. Do you have something more to tell?-The Beta

I think I told you everything in the woods.-Selene

The pack got some files about this Michael guy. You think he's alive?-The Beta

I don't know…I hope so.-Selene

I could give it to you.-The Beta spoke

I appreciate your help…Jet.-Selene

The Beta nodded quietly.

And the name felt like honey in her mouth.

She wanted to say it again.

The way her clothes hugged her body. The tee showing how well built she was.

The Beta looked apprehensive. Nervous about something.

The moment she turned back to walk away, Selene called her name. Too low for a human to listen.

The shape shifter turned back to her, looking to be lost in her thoughts.

I heard you visited me everyday. Is that true?-Selene

Guilty as charged.-Jet smirked

The shape shifter relaxed a bit, but still…she looked slightly uncomfortable.

She even thought of the possibility of communication between wolves…mentally.

That would be impossible, right?

She looks worried.

It feels like something important.

You look annoyed about something. What's happening?-Selene

There's much happening.-Jet

Is that the pack?-Selene

Don't worry. They're fine…-Jet said without looking her in the eyes

Then what is it?-Selene glimpsed at her lips

Despite the fact I'm not Beta anymore….-Jet

Why not? Have your leader banned you?-Selene asked worried

I already told you not to worry.-Jet raked her hair nervously

Then what's wrong? What's getting you nervous?-Selene

Umm…the Alpha got himself killed in the last brawl with the lycans…and now they wanna elect another Alpha at the bonfire…tonight.-Jet

Selene wanted to touch her, but she hesitated.

I don't want that destiny. I don't want to become an Alpha.-Jet pinched her nose bridge

With bigger powers, bigger responsibilities.-Selene touched her wrist

And there this…tug…ever since the woods…and…-Jet

The shape shifter took slow breaths.

As her eyes grew darker.

Lust.

And I couldn't get you out of my head.-Jet

Selene was speechless.

Jet…-Selene

I guess I'm so desperate about the recent things that…I'm finally losing it…things are happening all at once.-Jet

Shhhh….stay calm…you're not alone…the pack needs you, though. You're strong…you'll make it.-Selene touched her shoulder

What I said before…about you…I'm just too stressed.-Jet

You need to relax, Jet.-Selene

Maybe I do.-Jet

I can help you.-Selene

I don't think so…-Jet

I need a break too…things are so heavy right now…we can help each other.-Selene

Selene grabbed Jet's collar and pulled her close for a kiss.

Jet held her waist.

Their lips met in a perfect collision. A soft collision.

Hot and cold.

They both gasped at the shock, but they kept kissing.

Selene pressed the shape shifter against the wall.

Jet spun them around, now pressing the vampire against the wall. Bending down a bit to kiss her better.

She led Jet to one room.

She pushed Jet onto the bed, straddling her quickly.

Grinding her hips against her.

Moving slowly, enjoying their contact and moaning low, biting her lips.

Driving the shape shifter crazy.

Eventually, Selene unbuckled Jet's belt and unzipped her pants.

Jet got rid of her clothes fast, with the help of Selene.

And as soon as she returned to bed, Selene started blowing on her.

Jet fisted her hair, gasping for air.

The sounds filled the room. Pure lust, in the air.

Selene gasped and moaned at the burning touch on her body. The burning kisses to her mouth.

Their bodies reaching the peak of their temperatures, giving them shocks. As they kept doing each other.

They were so rough to each other that Jet left marks in Selene's whole body. As Selene left marks on her too. Hands, fingers, purple, red bruises.

Even broken ribs and fractures, for Jet.

But thanks to their fast healing, the injuries took minutes to disappear.

Eventually, the Beta dropped to the floor, exhausted.

As the vampire was panting and with her legs shaking.

They were laid over their clothes, on floor.

it's like you're in flames…-Selene said with her body drapped over Jet

Wolf thing.-Jet

They spent some time, staring at the ceiling. Quietly.

I might cool down soon…you're stone cold.-Jet caressed her hair

How much time you think we have left?-Selene

Well…it's late night, we have the time we need to rest and…settle before attacking.-Jet

They faced each other for a moment.

As much as I'd like to stay, I gotta go. They're waiting for me.-Jet spoke, sitting up slowly

Sure…-Selene

They wore their clothes back.

Jet was wearing her boots when Selene spoke.

Do you want me to go with you?-Selene looked at her

It's pack thing…I don't think they'd take it well. It's a serious ceremony.-Jet

Ok…-Selene

And…I don't know what reaction I might have with the result of it…but I'll comeback.-Jet

Later that night…

In the clearing…

Jet was sitting in one of the fallen logs, alongside the pack.

A couple elders were invited too.

Jet was tense as a rock.

Sam was a great leader. That we all know. But now the torch has to be passed to someone else. In order to guide you all and keep the tradition.-One of the three Elders spoke, Ephraim

The fire burned more wildly.

Jet watched it quietly.

It burned wilder.

The former right arm of Sam. Jet Morningstar. Come forward.-The elder woman, Natasha

The fire sparked a bit.

I know it's sacred. But I'm afraid I'm not interested.-Jet declined politely

Jet. Come forward. The spirits choose you.-Ephraim

Jet got up.

I don't want that fate!-Jet

Then she walked away, fast.

Jet–!-Natasha

She will come around…she's born to this.-The quiet elder, Akatosh

Let's finish the ritual…Jet is your new Alpha! Even if she doesn't like it! -Ephraim

Some pack mates found her and dragged her back.

The elder approached with a customized crown, made out of wood, quil, and bones, and a collar with the same materials.

Natasha put the collar on her and Ephraim the crown.

You're born to lead, Morningstar. It doesn't matter what you did in the past, the spirits know your heart.-Akatosh

Jet remained in silence.

Feeling the weight of the Elders's words.
