Selena.“What are you doing?!” I yelled at the guards that were throwing out my things from the study as Logan rushed up to him, grabbed him by his collar, and shoved him away roughly.“Are you insane?! How dare you touch the Luna’s things without asking for permission?” He growled angrily, and the guard trembled in fear.“But… but…”“But what?” He snapped.“Alpha Lucian and Luna Cindy ordered me to do it.” The guard managed to speak because Logan’s grip on him was becoming a bit too tight.Luna Cindy? How was she being addressed as Luna Cindy? She was just his mistress, and I was still the Luna, so what was going on?Before I opened my mouth to speak, I noticed Lucian and Cindy step out of the study with their arms entwined and Cindy looked like she was having a difficult time because she was wincing in pain and groaning out loud.“Hang on, baby, we would soon be able to clear out the place.” Lucian said reassuringly as he tapped her hand gently.“Lucian, what’s going on? Why are my
Selena. “What is this?” I turned the envelope over in my hand, but there was nothing written on it to give me a clue of what was in it. “Why don’t you open it and find out.” Brinny replied with a devilish grin on her face. She looked like she was enjoying every single moment of my apprehension, and it made me even more scared of whatever was in the envelope. My hands trembled lightly as I tore open the envelope and pulled out the note written in it, as my eyes flew over the words written on it, my heart began to race and my chest heaved heavily. Logan placed a hand on my shoulder as he glanced down at the note in my hands, before he could read what was in it, the note slipped out of my hands and fluttered slowly to the ground. “Rather than holding on to a Luna’s position that is not yours anymore, you might want to return home to your father and take care of him.” Cindy mocked while sounding as if she was worried. “I wonder what it feels like. His only daughter is barren,
Selena. “The healer suspects it to be poison.” One of the elders on my father’s council said to me as we made our way inside. It has barely been up to five minutes since we arrived at the pack house. “What?!” I stopped dead in my tracks and stared straight into his eyes, “what do you mean by poison? Who would dare to pull off something like that?” “We are not sure yet, but your father’s beta is already working on it as we speak. For now, we suggest you leave things to us and focus on spending time with your father. He has missed you a lot.” The elder advised, and I sighed heavily because I knew he was right. It had indeed been a really long time since I saw him last, and I felt nervous about seeing him again. Katherine must have noticed it because she stepped forward and held my hand in hers, I smiled at her, and we made our way upstairs. The maid accompanying us stopped in front of his room and pulled Katherine aside, “The Alpha would like to see his daughter alone.” She s
Selena. “Three days! Three good days, Beta Liam, and we have found nothing. At this rate, we might never be able to find whoever did this to my father.” I said to Beta Liam as I paced the length of his study, anxiously bitting at my nails. “The council meeting was just like the others. The council members are worried, and the people are already spreading rumours that he might die soon. I am sincerely confused Selena, who would want to harm your father to this extent?” He sighed heavily as he eased into his seat. We have been like this for the past three day, desperately going through every single detail in hopes that we would find whoever it was that tried to hurt father but no matter how hard we tried or how many people we interrogated, we ended up with nothing. “Maybe we should go through the information about the people that visited him up until he got poisoned. We might be able to…” “It’s useless Selena, that was the first thing I did when I found out about what happened,
Selena. After the whole thing with Father and Cindy, I retired early to bed because I was so exhausted and before I knew what was going on, I was fast asleep but the sound of hurried footsteps outside my door woke me up and I rushed out of bed. It sounded like something serious was going on because I could hear people screaming so I hurriedly threw open my door and stepped out into the hallways just to see guards rushing up and down to help the maids that were bringing out huge jars of water. “What’s going on?” I grabbed one of the maids by the arm, and she looked up at me with panic, “what’s with all the commotion?” “There is a fire!” She screamed as she struggled to free herself from my grip and rush down with the others. My brows furrowed as I held on tightly to her, “Fire? Where? How? I thought there was a party going on and…” “At the reserves. It caught fire a while ago, and everyone is trying to stop the fire from spreading because the last batch of the food is hidden
Selena. “If you really want me to do this then there is something I would like you to agree to,” I suddenly called out to him just as he was about to start ascending the stairs back into the mansion with Cindy, “if I can solve this problem and fill the reserve back up with food, Cindy would never get involved in the pack affairs again and you would always respect whatever decisions I make regarding the pack.” “What??” Lucian seemed taken aback to hear that. He turned around sharply to pin me with a glare, “this was an order from me, not something you can bet about.” “On the other hand, if I can’t do it, then I would agree to the divorce and step down from my position as Luna so that Cindy can step up to it.” I added, and I saw the look on Cindy’s face, I knew she would love to hear something like that. In a manipulative manner, she whispered something to Lucian, but he wasn’t listening. He was staring right at me, and before I could open my mouth to say anything, he beat me to
Selena. The elders quickly called the people together as soon as they heard. I had somehow managed to gather enough food for the entire pack, and word about my achievement spread like wild fire. I knew Lucian would be hell-bent on embarrassing me in front of his pack members, so I was expecting the worse as I joined him downstairs. As soon as I stepped on stage beside Lucian and Cindy, the people clapped and cheered their appreciation for what I had done, and that did not sit well with Lucian and Cindy. They both looked pissed. So, as expected, Lucian found away to inch closer to me and whisper into my ears with a sinister tone, “I must admit, I didn’t think you would be able to pull this off, but to stoop this low to get the people to like you and make me jealous is just disgusting Selena. If you’re truly a Luna, you would act like one and not a pitiful omega that was picked up from the streets.” His voice carried just the right amount of contempt that he had for me. "If all
Selena. “Luna Selena, Luna Selena, Luna Selena,” someone called out to me as I stirred awake on the bed. It was my maid’s voice and at first, I thought she had just stopped by to check on me but when she kept shaking me and forcing me to wake up, I opened my eyes slowly only to find her staring right into my eyes. “What the hell…” I grumbled as I sat up on the bed. I was surprised to see her so early in my room. I didn’t have any appointments today except with Logan, so why was she here? “I don’t need to take a bath so early so you can go, I still want to get some sleep.” I said to her but she still didn’t leave, she kept calling out to me to wake up and it was when her voice became unbearable and making it really difficult for me to sleep before I sat up on the bed with a frustrated grunt. The moment my eyes rested on her, I noticed something was wrong because I had just noticed the expression on her face. It got me curious and worried at the same time. “What happened?” I as
Selena’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
