“There is someone I would like you all to meet,” Lucian said, breaking the silence as he turned to stare down at her in a loving manner, a way he had never looked at me before, “the mother of my child.” My eyes widened in shock as I took in the sight of her swollen belly, a clear evidence of her pregnancy. The mother of my child? What did he mean by that? ***** Selena, the resilient Luna of Blood Moon Pack, was promised to her husband, the Alpha of Crescent Moon Pack. But, she was abandoned by him after their wedding. Mocked by her mother-in-law, and with the help of the stunning Beta, Logan, she’s able to handle the pack’s affairs in anticipation of her husband’s return. Three years later, her dearest husband betrays her by returning with his pregnant mate and is determined to kick her out of the pack regardless of her contributions and dedication. Despite her hurt, Selena is determined to not allow her husband to ruin everything she had worked so hard for, especially when she is certain the pack would need her now more than ever. But secrets bigger than Selena’s resilience reside in the heart of Crescent Moon Pack, and the sudden spark of a mate bond she had believed she would never experience threatens to change everything she has ever known to be true.
View MoreSelena’s POV.“I have no clue why Lucian is going around saying things like that Katherine and I don’t care, I just want to ensure things run smoothly. He can have Cindy for all I care.” I responded as I returned my attention back to the papers before me.It was barely a minute after Katherine left that Rose walked into my study with a large tray. I raised a brow at her because I had specifically told her that I wasn’t going to eat anything until I was done with my task for the day.“What is this? Rose, I clearly told you that…”“Alpha Lucian sent it.” She blurted out as she came to a halt in front of my desk and slowly placed the tray on the space available on my desk, “he insisted that I brought it up to you because he had ordered the kitchen to prepare something special for you.”I took one look at it and glanced away. I had no idea what he was up to or what he planned to achieve, but there was no way on earth I was going to give him the opportunity to achieve it. I wanted nothing
Selena’s POV.My heart slammed against my rib cage so hard that I was scared for a moment that it would burst out of my chest. I was staring straight into Lucian’s eyes, wondering why he was getting so close to me, but when I realized he was about to kiss me, I shoved him back and staggered backwards.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I asked with a frown, but that still wasn’t enough to make him back down. Instead, he kept trying to come close to me.“We don’t have to act like this all the time, Selena. We could always be the couple you want us to be. I can make you stay as my Luna and Cindy would remain as my mistress. Your post would be higher than hers, and you get to make important decisions. You know you want this, Selena.”I had no idea why he thought that was what I wanted, to share him with Cindy. I didn’t even want him anymore, so why would he think that I would be willing to settle for him to keep Cindy as his mistress.“It would be just like you’ve always wanted.
Selena’s POV. “Luna Selena,” Rose, my personal maid, called out to me as she shook me wildly and I was forced to open my eyes, “I am sorry to disturb you but he is insisting on seeing you.” She added as soon as I opened my eyes. I groaned as I sat up on the bed. I had clearly instructed Rose that I needed as much rest as possible so no one was allowed to disturb me that morning because I would be sleeping in. After the battle last night, I needed as much rest as possible. “What is it Rose? Just tell whoever it is to go away and come back when I am awake, I am sure no one would die if I close my eyes for a few minutes. Or… is it Logan?” I asked but she shook her head. The look on her face got me curious about who it was. “It’s not Beta Logan, it’s Alpha Lucian.” She whispered as if she was afraid he would overhear her, “he has been waiting outside the door and wouldn’t leave. He said he would wait till you’re awake but I can’t just let him stand there because Brinny is causin
Selena’s POV.“What is this, Lucian? Are you defending this barren bitch? You would raise your voice at your own mother and ignore your Luna and child because of her?” She hissed out loud in anger as she took a step back, “If that is what you want then so be it. If I am the only one that sees what that wicked witch is up to then so be it. She tried to hurt her and get rid of the baby and you would rather take her side.” Brinny said as she broke down in tears, sobbing hysterically in front of everyone even when it was obvious that she was faking it.“She didn’t harm Cindy mother, Cindy passed out when the rogues surrounded her. She didn’t get hurt at all and the blood she is covered in isn’t even hers. Selena showed up with reinforcements, if she hadn’t, I probably wouldn’t have made it back.” Lucian explained and everyone seemed surprised to hear him defend me like that.It was the first time ever since I moved into the pack house as his Luna that he would defend me in front of anyon
Selena’s POV.My heart raced as we found ourselves in an open space, and it skipped a beat when my eyes landed on Cindy, who lay sprawled out on the ground and unconscious. There was blood all over her, and from the look of things, the blood I had sensed wasn’t hers.So if it wasn’t hers, who was it? Where is Lucian? I glanced around, and it was at that moment that I noticed something move between the trees. Lucian jumped out of it, his huge wolf growling fiercely, with its eyes glued to whatever was behind the trees he had just jumped out from behind.“What the… what’s going on here?” I asked as I jumped down from our ride and rushed up to him.He seemed relieved at first to see us, but as soon as he saw me, his expression darkened as if he had not expected me to be there. He stepped in front of me as if he were ordering me to get lost and not get involved in his fight.“I am the only help you can get right now, Lucian, so for once, put that stupid pride of yours aside and let me hel
Selena’s POV.“There was a signal a few minutes ago.” Logan added as he rushed down the stairs behind me, “he went out with Cindy a few minutes ago, and suddenly, the guards saw the signal. It’s coming from the woods behind the garden, I saw it too when I stepped outside for some air.” He added in a hurry just as we got to the bottom of the stairs.I was still dressed in my nightgown and the weather was a bit too chilly but that wasn’t my problem, Lucian mattered more, I pulled my thin robe around me more tightly and rushed outside to join the guards gathered outside.Brinny was there too, and she looked like she was having a panic attack.“The baby, we need to ensure the baby is fine. Go out there and bring my son and his Luna home!” She yelled at one of the guards in a dramatic manner as she slapped him, “if anything happens to either my son or my grand child, you would all lose your lives.” She threatened, but the guards wouldn’t even flinch.“You don’t give them orders, Brinny. I
Selena. “Luna Selena, there is someone that would like to have a word with you.” Logan said as he stepped away from the wide open door and strolled into my study. After the whole thing with Cindy, Lucian seemed to have given me the right to handle the pack affairs grudgingly but I didn’t mind as long as it gave me the opportunity to do what needed to be done and protect what had to be protected. “Luna Selena,” one of the elders among Lucian’s council that had been in support of Cindy strolled into my study after Logan with a smile on his face, “I thought I should stop by and tell you just how much the pack appreciates all your hard work.” He added with a straight face even when I knew that it was clearly a lie. All of them just pretended like they had not been willing to throw me out of the pack house a few weeks ago. Ever since Lucian allowed me to return back to being in charge, they started trying to get close to me in hopes that they could still remain in my favour. “Tha
Logan Maybe it was because I was standing at the door, but I noticed one of the elders slipped out of the hall the moment Selena picked up the scent of the missing item on Cindy's dress. I had no raised any alarm or thought too much about it because I thought he was just excusing himself to use the bathroom or something but the moment Cindy turned the whole thing against her maid and insisted we search the young girls room, I knew something fishy was going on. “ How dare you still something from Selena study and put it in Cindy's dress!” Lucian growled as he grabbed the maid by her throat , “What were you trying to achieve? How dare an ordinary maid, a filthy Omega maid, think that she could do something like that and get away with it. I am going to ensure you never forget this stupid mistake you made, and I'm going to use you as a scapegoat for others who will dare to do something like this. Anybody that tries to harm Cindy in any way is automatically trying to harm me, and I am not
Selena’s POV. “I really don't want to hurt you selena but it's obvious that you have ulterior motives here, I wouldn't even be surprised if there is nothing missing in your study, you're just using this opportunity to hurt Cindy and my child.” Lucian said angrily as he shoved Logan away from the door, “You can't even tell us what you've lost. You just expect us to believe that you've lost something and you want to lock us up in here and carry out some stupid sniffing test. Do you have any idea how dumb that sounds? Whatever you've lost has nothing to do with us. You said so yourself, so why would any of us here be interested in something from your father's pack or something valuable to your father? It makes no sense at all! What I care about is Cindy and my child, so please, Selena, tell Logan to get the fuck out of my way before I do something we'll both regret.” Lucian added. The expression on his face was calm, but it's obvious that he was not joking, but at the same time, I was
Selena.“Six years of marriage and still not a single child from Selena.” My mother in law Brinny snapped at me in front of the entire council, “a true Luna should know that without bringing forth an heir, she has failed her pack and her husband.”The entire room fell silent because they knew not to say a word to aggravate her whenever she started this conversation.“But how can she have a child when Lucian is away most of the time?” Katherine, my sister in law and favorite human in the pack house, tried to defend me, but her mother shut her up almost immediately.“Maybe if she found a way to make him stay back like a real wife should, maybe he wouldn’t have left. Maybe if she tried to capture his heart rather than focusing on matters that should be handled by the Alpha, she would have given us an heir by now.”Whispers and murmurs broke out among the council members who were mostly family of my husband, Lucian. I could tell from the look on their faces that they were panicking but un...
