"What are you doing on my bed?!!!”….The angry voice of the Alpha jolted me awake. sending chills down my spine. I could see the rage and disgust burning in his eyes as he glared at me. I quickly got up to my feet, my heart pounding in my chest, and adjusted my disheveled dress."G-Good morning Alpha." I stammered, my voice trembling and I lowered my head afraid to meet his gaze."That doesn't answer my question. I asked What the hell are you doing on my bed!!!" he roared, his voice echoing through the room, filled with a mix of anger and disbelief."A-Al-Alpha I can explain." I stammered, my words stumbling over each other as he closed the distance between us, his imposing presence making me feel more insignificant.He roughly grabbed my arm, his grip tight as he led the way out of the room. Each step down the stairs sent a jolt of pain through my body, I winced feeling the ache Intensifying at every pull. Without a care, he tossed me to the floor leaving me sprawled on the cold tiles.My knees came in contact with the cold tiles hitting them hard, I winced in pain feeling the impact."You wretched slut from the slum", he roared, his voice dripping with disdain. "You think you could make your way to my heart by seducing me huh?"Did he just accused me of seducing him? I never did such a thing!!"Alpha it's not what you think."I tried to explain, tears streaming down my face.Just then, Jojo and others came out from the kitchen upon hearing the commotion. The shock on Jojo's face was evident seeing me in that state."Selena dear, what happened? What have you done?" concern laced her voice as she approached me.I couldn't utter a word; I just kept crying. How could I possibly explain how I ended up in the Alpha's bed? No one would believe me even if I told them the truth.They would think that I couldn't accept his rejection which is why I resorted to seducing him."Jojo, ask her how she ended up sleeping on the same bed with me in my room," he demanded, causing everyone to gasp, their hands covering their mouths."S-Selena, is it true?" Jojo's voice quivered with disbelief as she shook me."Yes, Jojo" That was the only word I could manage to say as she staggered back staring at me in disbelief. I couldn't meet her gaze, I couldn't bear to see the disappointment in her eyes.Just then, the grand doors of the mansion swung open. I looked up to see Ravenna walking in, making her way towards us."Oh no, our worst nightmare is back," Ember whispered in my head."What going on here? What has this slut stolen?" Ravenna inquired, standing beside the Alpha."Can you believe I woke up to see this slut on my bed?" He retorted."She did what ?" Ravenna asked in disbelief.She moved closer to me, giving me a resounding slap across my face. I flinched as the pain hit me hard."You shameless bitch! what were you doing in bed with my husband? Oh!! So you couldn't accept the fact that he chose me over you…" she seethed."No Luna, it's not what you think." I tried to explain, only to be met with another slap from her."Luna please have mercy on her " Jojo pleaded, but got shunned by Ravenna with a cold glare."Gabriel I see no reason why she's still here, just fire this bitch." she declared, facing him.The last thing I wanted to hear was the word 'Fired', it has always been a nightmare to me. It was through Jojo I got to work here in the mansion and it's been the only means sustaining my mother and me."Alpha please, I would accept any punishment but please don't fire me," I begged crawling towards the Alpha's feet."Get your filthy self away from my husband you bitch !" Ravenna spat, pushing me away."I never want to see you anywhere near me or this mansion, You're Fired!!" he roared, his eyes glowing red and a low growl rumbling beneath his words."Please Alpha, pardon me" I pleaded."You heard him bitch! You're fired !" Ravenna sneered."Jojo please, plead on my behalf, he will listen to you." I cried, crawling to her feet."Alpha please pardon her, this is the only job she has to sustain herself and her mother" Jojo who was already in tears pleaded."She should have thought before taking advantage of my drunken state" he retorted coldly.“Hey you, go get her belongings from her room" Ravenna commanded, instructing one of the maids who had their head bowed in fear."Guards!! Guards!!" Ravenna called outThe door opened, and two guards rushed in."Throw this slut out of here and I never want to see her anywhere around this mansion" she ordered."Please Alpha, please Luna!!" I begged but was grabbed by the guards as they dragged me towards the entrance. Jojo attempted to follow but was stopped by Ravenna.The guards pushed me out of the gate, and my belongings were thrown at me, I could see the sympathy in their eyes but they had no choice but to follow orders as they closed the gate."Alpha, please! Have mercy on me " I cried pounding on the gate, desperately hoping he would have a change of heart."Selena stop crying. I'm truly sorry. it's all my fault. I would have controlled myself if I had known it would result in this." Ember's voice resonated through my mind, filled with pain.I ignored her. None of this would have happened if she had controlled herself. I sat on the pavement near the Alpha's gate. I couldn't come to terms with everything that has happened. My mind was a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts.The thought of my mother flashed through my mind, how would I face her? How would she feel when she discovers I had ended up in the Alpha's bed? Would she also accuse me of seducing him too?"Selena, please talk to me, you've been ignoring me." Ember pleaded, her voice filled with a soothing purr.Taking a deep breath, I couldn't possibly stay angry with her forever. "It's okay, Ember," I finally replied."You can't just sit here all day, I suggest we go home" Ember suggested. Yeah she’s right, there’s no hope for me left in the mansion.I rose to my feet, wiped away the tears from my eyes, and gathered my belongings. Casting one look at the mansion, I made my way towards the main gate of the estate.Lost in my thoughts on the way, I didn't notice a speeding car behind me. "Watch out, Selena!!" Ember's urgent voice echoed in my mind…Related chapters

Selena POVI stood there frozen in the middle of the road, the car approaching me at an alarming speed. Panic surged through my veins, and I closed my eyes, anticipating the impact when I heard the screeching sound of brake piercing the air, the car came to a halt just inches away from me."Oh goodness, we are alive!" Ember let out a sigh of relief.Relief washed over me, I opened my eyes, and I spotted a figure stepping out of the Mercedes-Benz Car as he approached me. It was Asher, the pack beta."Are you blind? can't you see you are in the middle of the road?" he snapped angrily.I lifted my head to meet his gaze, and a flicker of surprise crossed his face as he recognized me."Selena, it's you" his voice calm, "Thank goodness, I didn't run you over."By the way, what are you doing out here? Aren't you meant to be in the mansion? And what with that bag you're holding?" he asked."I was sent out of the mansion." I managed to reply, as tears welled up in my eyes."What happened?" he

Selena POVI brought out the card from my bag, I stared blankly at the card in front of me. Different thoughts running through my mind. I have no idea what to say to him. How would I tell him I need his financial assistance? What if he refuses to help me, just like the Alpha did?"Selena, just give it a try, call the Beta, it's going to be alright", Ember urged.She's right, I should give it a try, after all, he gave me the card just in case I might need his help.

Peering through the window, I saw my mom lying on the bed, surrounded by unfamiliar wires that I could not identify.With a gentle push, I opened the door and stepped into the ICU. It was well equipped with various medical equipment including the cardiac monitor that was beeping softly, monitoring my mother's heart rate and rhythm, and other medical devices I could not identify their names.I moved closer to her bedside, and the nurse assigned to watch over her signaled me to keep silent. I gently stroked her hair. Although she still hasn't regained consciousness, I noticed her heartbeat is normal which was a relief for me.Just then my stomach growled loudly, the nurse couldn't help but shake her head in amusement causing me to blush with embarrassment.

"I need you to keep a close watch on Arnold", I commanded,my voice firm. " Monitor his every move." With those words, I ended the call.Arnold is my late father's elder brother.

Selena povMonths later…..I stood in front of the mirror in my room, gazing at my reflection staring back at me. My eyes widened as I took in the sight of my baby bump, now prominently rounded and swollen.I couldn't believe how much my body had changed in just a few months.The thin black line on my belly, once barely visible, now seemed to be staring back at me, a constant reminder of the tiny human growing inside me. My feet, once slender and delicate, were now swollen and aching, I've gained so much weight and above all the weird cravings. Like I could crave for the unimaginable.As I gazed at my reflection, I felt a sudden flutter in my abdomen. My baby was kicking again, and I couldn't help but smile. It was as if he was trying to communicate with me, to tell me something only I could understand.Did I just say He? I chuckled to myself, realizing I had just referred to my baby as "he". It still felt surreal, knowing I was having a boy.My mom's predictions had finally come to

Alphas Pov…I walked into my office, my assistant Matilda following closely behind, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered long since the previous day's event.I had questions running through my mind that needed answers and Asher was the only one who could provide them.I haven't seen Asher since the contest, we both came in our separate cars. As soon as I left the hall, I headed back to the office while he met with one of our clients.My mind kept wandering back to Selena, from what I can remember, she was a maid in my mansion, how did she end up being a baker with exceptional skill if I wasn't going to lie?I had never thought I'd see her in the contest, talk more of her emerging as the winner. But what baffled me was how she was able to achieve all this within a short period.The last time I saw her was when I had her thrown out of my company when she tried to extort money from me in the guise of helping her sick mother.How low could she stoop?

Selena PovI headed back to the room where the four other contestants were, my heart heavy with frustration and anger. All I wanted to do was hand my baker's clothes back to the ladies at the front desk and leave this place.I couldn't bear the thought of facing the Alpha, let alone being in the same room with him for hours. As I entered the room, Brenda's eyes lit up with excitement."You're back! What took you so long?", she asked.I forced a smile, trying to brush off my emotions. "Nothing, just a running stomach, but I'm fine now", I lied.Brenda's eyes narrowed, her brows furrowed with worry. "Are you sure you're fine? Do you need me to call the doctor?", she asked, her voice soft with concern.I shook my head, reassuring her. "No, I don't. I'm fine", I said, trying to sound convincing."Alright, if you say so" she paused. "We'll be in a few minutes, it's almost time." She whispered.I nodded, my mind racing with thoughts of how to leave this place. There's no way I'm going in th

Selena POV"Mom, I'm done. I'm leaving already", I called out as soon as I was done with my breakfast and headed to the living room.Today was the day- the finale of the Baking contest! The contest is finally coming to an end. Geez I couldn't believe how far I'd come.It's been a rollercoaster sort of emotion for me, it hasn't been so easy but determination and the support of amazing people who believe in me made it all possible. Initially, I was so skeptical about the whole contest but look at me now among the top five finalists!I glanced at my watch, it was just a few minutes past 7 am, there's still time but I prefer leaving home and getting there early just in case, you never can predict the traffic.I turned to face the kitchen, wondering what my mom could still be doing in the kitchen. "Mom, I'm getting late," I called out again."I'm coming, give me a sec.", I heard her say from the kitchen. It didn't take long before she emerged with a glass of fresh milk. Ugh! How I hate fre

Selena POV….I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, each step echoing through the silent shop. My heart raced with anticipation, my mind wondering who it could be and what they wanted.I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the doorway, waiting to see who would appear.That's when I saw a feminine figure dressed in all black, with a face mask obscuring her features. My heart skipped a beat as I realized she was trying to destroy my shop.She was smashing display cases and overturning tables and chairs, her movements swift and deliberate.My first instinct was to protect my business, and I charged at her without thinking. But she was too strong, and in a quick reflex, she pushed me to the ground with ease.I hit my head against the wall as I fell flat on my stomach and I yelled out in pain. As I lay there, I could feel blood oozing out of my forehead, trickling down to my lips.The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth, and I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me. But it was what

All thanks to Asher and the girls for encouraging me to participate, I owe them this one.As we were given a two-day break before the grand finale, I decided to surprise the girls at the bakery. I hadn't set foot in the bakery since then the contest began, it's been from the contest to home and I missed the familiar sights and smells of my bakery.Although Scarlett has been giving constant feedback of the bakery-from the sales, the never-ending orders, and the number of batches of pastries they make per day ever since I got into the contest and to tell you what, it's been mind-blowing.As I pushed open the door, a warm

Selena pov…I stepped into the contest hall, where a handful of contestants were already mingling in small groups, their hushed conversations and nervous laughter filling the air.Since I wasn't acquainted with anyone, I kept to myself. The judges' table was empty, and the host was nowhere to be seen yet. I took a deep breath, my heart racing with anticipation.I had made it past the first round, but I knew the competition would only get tougher from here, who knows what today's task would be.Just as I pondered what today's challenge would be, the door swung open and Benard strode in, his infectious energy and charisma commanding our attention. The remaining contestants filed in behind him, making their way towards their respective baking stations.It didn't take long before the judges arrived and took their seats.

Today was the first day of the baking contest I had been anticipating for days.And I was finally here, about to face the judges, the viewers and my fellow contestants.I was so nervous, my palms were already sweating, and my mind was a jumble of recipes, techniques, and what-ifs. I didn't know what to expect or what the outcome would be. What if I don't make it past the first day?My mind was a whirlwind of different thoughts, imagining different scenarios in my head of me being evicted on the first day. Or should I just back off?"Don't you dare think of backing off! You're here already Selena. And how many times do I have to tell you to stop being pessimistic", Ember's voice

Selena povThe anticipation had kept me awake all night, my mind buzzing with excitement. I arrived at the shop early the next day. I had lost count of the number of times I read the email just to be sure it wasn't an illusion.I wasn't able to get through to Asher throughout yesterday, I called him but he didn't pick up, perhaps he was busy. I decided to call him later today.Entering the shop, I spotted Norah setting up the display area, completely engrossed in what she was doing, unaware of my presence. A mischievous idea crept into my mind, and I couldn't resist the urge to give her a playful scare to get her reaction.With a suppressed giggle, I stealthily approached her, intending to catch her off guard making sure she didn't notice my presence. Just as I was about to execute my plan, she suddenly turned around, letting out a surprise yelp at the sight of me."Geez, Selena you scared me", she said, patting her chest gently."Really, sorry Norah, didn't mean to startle you", I ch
