Selena’s POV Four people, two couples. We walked along the garden path in silence. After the farce just now, it seemed a little awkward to say anything at that moment. "Your face... how is it?" Charles asked me in a lowered voice as we walked behind Stella and Ryan. I touched my face. "Be
Selena’s POV When I woke up the next morning, there was no one on the other side of the bed, as usual. I thought Charles might have gone to talk to my father. I went downstairs for breakfast, and there was Stella, who likes to sleep in, in the dining room. It seems that marriage has changed her
"Wha... What, what are you sending me?" I stammered, afraid to look at her. "Sexy lingerie." Stella's red lips parted as she uttered the words one by one. Charles’POV: Back in Butcher's study, I was greeted by a large, oppressive painting. The Ruby in it caught my eye. It looked like the Ruby
Selena’s POV What would Charles and my father be talking about in the study? I looked in the direction of the study on the second floor, where it was quiet and no one came out. A maid made me a cup of coffee, and I sat on a bench near the French window in the living room, basking in the sun and
We're too close! He's my brother-in-law! I was anxious to free myself from his hand. When I tried hard, I found that his strength was much greater than I thought. He ignored my struggle and remained close to me. "Your sister might blame me if you fall." "Thank you..." Suddenly, there was a l
Selena’s POV Not long after Charles left, there were some footsteps at the door. I didn't want to move. I just sat there like a statue. There's someone at the door. "Selena, are you there?" I don't want to talk, and I just want to be alone. The knocker opened the door without waiting for a
Stella's POV: By noon, even though I had kept it a secret, our father knew Charles had left. He looked a little tired, but he still snapped at Selena aggressively. "Charles left. Did you make him angry? Why are you still at home? Get back to your husband now!" Selena stood stubbornly still. "N
Selena’s POV Silence, still silence. I don't know if Charles told Billy about us. Anyway, I have nothing to say to Billy, although I notice he's been watching me in the rearview mirror. At the traffic lights, Billy couldn't hold it in any longer. "Selena, I don't know what happened between you
Selena's POV "Selena, what are you waiting for? Do it!" Charles growled through gritted teeth. I held the scepter steady, its Moonstone pulsing with a fiery red light, coursing through my hands, filling my body with an unbearable force. My eyes locked on Ryan—this man who had shattered my sister
Stella's POV “We’re not true fated mates. I married you only to get the Moonstone.” Ryan’s words hit me like a punch to the gut. The lips that once kissed me, whispered sweet nothings into my ears, now uttered the cruelest truth. The tears stopped. A strange calm settled over me. “What do you
Selena stepped onto the battlefield, the Moonstone Scepter in her grip, leading her Red Moon warriors. The scene was chaos—three packs locked in a standoff. “Selena, you’re here.” Ryan’s voice was almost affectionate, as if they were still allies. But to Charles, freshly wounded and barely stand
Quinn shifted into his wolf form, a flash of gray and white fur streaking through the rain-drenched battlefield, leaping over the heads of the Fjord pack warriors. “Alpha, watch out!” Billy shouted. Charles tried desperately to break through the lingering effects of the wolfsbane, but his wolf,
It was late at night, and most of the soldiers were already preparing to rest for the next day's march. That’s when the flap of one of the tents was pulled open from the outside. Inside, a few disgruntled warriors sat up, their faces twisting with irritation as they spotted the intruders: a bearde
As Charles slipped into Black Valley Pack under the cover of night, he was surprised by how easy it was. No guards stopped him, and the paths to the pack were eerily quiet. It was almost too smooth. Once inside, the reason became clear: the pack was nearly empty. Only a few older warriors were sta
Selena's POV After my chat with Stella, I honestly have no idea how I even made it back to the packhouse. Somehow, I ended up in my room—my little "safe space." Pushing open the door, I was met with quite the sight: Charles, shirtless, checking the bandages around his waist. Even though I’d seen
Selena's POV The first battle had gone smoothly, though some of our warriors were injured. After making sure Charles was settled, he asked me to stay with him a little longer, but I declined. Right now, Red Moon Pack needed me more than anything. I headed to the makeshift hospital where the woun
Third-Person POV “What are the casualty numbers?” Ryan demanded, meeting Quinn the moment he returned to Fjord Pack. Quinn responded with deference, “Black Valley’s losses are much higher than we anticipated. Strangely, Red Moon’s warriors weren’t as weak as we thought—they fought with surprisin
