Chapter 3

Selena

I looked at Luther, I couldn't say a word, my legs shivering as I tried to process what I had heard from him.

“You want me to do what?” I said in fear, I was confused and didn't know if he meant what he said when he said that he wanted me to take the fall for the accident and make sure that no one would know.

Worst of all, he said he would give me three million dollars if I took the blame.

Luther grunted a bit, he was rubbing his scalp as he looked at me. “Selena please don't act like you didn't hear a thing I just said. I want you to take the blame for the accident, in return, I will give you three million dollars.”

I was filled with horror when I heard what he said, there was no way in the world I would have thought that Luther would say something like that to me. He was offering me money like I was some kind of cheap whore.

“I am sorry Alpha, I will not take this money. Nothing you will say will make me even think of taking the blame for something like this.” I protested, I was not going to be letting him make me feel like I was some kind of option.

Luther paused and looked at me, his face was filled with pure horror and shock. He was still shocked that I was saying no to what he was saying but who in their right sense would even think of taking such an offer?

“Is she out of her mind? There is no way she is saying no to the Alpha’s orders, who in the world do you think you are doing?! We are giving you a one-way ticket out of the stupid life that you nobody live and you are saying no to it? you must be one foolish girl to think that you will get an offer like this again in your wretched life.” Luna Katherina was not going to let Selena say no to her son's orders.

“Yes mother, I wonder what is giving her the gall to act like this. There is no way she is saying no to something like this, I will see to it that you..”

“Mother, Anna! Both of you need to calm down! I will handle this!” Luther roared, he was not happy that I had told him that I would not take the blame for the crime Adriane had committed and I was standing by my word.

Luther looked at me, his eyes couldn't hide his disappointment and it was clear as day that he was going to be asking me one more time.

“Selena, I want you to know that there is no other way for this to happen and I need you to.”

“There is another way, and that is if Adriane takes responsibility for what she did!” I yelled, I didn't know what had come over me.

“You know she is my fated mate and I can't do that, I am meant to make sure that I protect her and make sure that nothing is going to happen to her for my safety and everything else.”

“Before you found out that she was your fated mate I was your wife and if you might have forgotten I am still your wife Luther!” I yelled at the top of my voice, looking at him.

“What do you want? Tell me what you want and I will make sure that you have it. Do you want to keep the title of Luna you can have it. Do you want more money? I will make sure that you get all that you want. So please will you take the fall for this?! I know you have to have a heart there.” Luther sounded a bit desperate at this point and I knew that there was something a bit odd.

I didn't even know what I was going to tell him to let him know that nothing was going to make me want to take the blame for that crime. “I don't want anything I just want you to..”

“If you don't want anything then why did you keep staying even after I found out that Adriane was my fated mate?! Why did you stay even when you saw that I had found her?!” Luther yelled, out of everything I had heard that night it was those words that hurt me more.

He was asking me why I stayed as if it wasn't obvious why I had stayed with him even after all the torment and insults I had gotten from his family.

I stayed because I loved him with every fiber of my being, I wanted him to see that nothing was going to make me love another man like I loved Luther but it has all led to him saying this to me.

All my years of giving him nothing but my love has led to him asking why I stayed.

“Will you take the money or are you going to keep putting up an act? I know you only clung to my son for his wealth and there was nothing else keeping you with him.” Luna Katherina spoke up, I looked at her seeing the look of disgust.

I didn't even need her to say any other thing, I knew that there was no way I would be able to get to them. They had always seen me as nothing more than another pest who wanted to use Luther for his money.

‘If only I had made sure to mind my business if only I had listened to my father's warnings. I wouldn't have ended up like this.” I looked at them, I could see the hate they bore for me and there was no sign that they were ever going to change.

I shifted my gaze to Luther, looking at him with a heavy heart. I didn't know what I was going to do but I had a question on my mind. “So all these years, all this time you think I was only here for your wealth? Do you think that low of me Luther?”

Luther’s eyes were filled with disgust and disappointment, I could see there was no way he could hide it.

“I married you when I needed to fill in the spot of a Luna, I thought I was never going to get a fated one so I had to go with what I had,” Luther said without even holding back, I didn't need to ask him any other question.

I was only an option.
