*Selene's POV*

I discreetly slipped the note into my bra and got myself another drink. This seemed too suspicious to be true.My mind ran on thousands of explanatitions.How did he know I will be here? Why would he–a now wanted man even attend a Blossom Ball in the first place.

I turned to face the room, and the group of elites and socialites continued chatting among themselves. Every now and then, the nosiest of the friend group will look my way and then continue talking.

Dominic glances were more frequent,he was socialising with a couple of businessmen by the bar across the room.He looked like his conversation was boring him to death, and he was aching to be by my side again.

Just as I was about to get myself another drink,a loud trumpet from the door pulled our attention. A herald dressed in deep purple walked deeper into the room and began in a loud authoritative voice.

“Attention everyone,make way for our pack leaders,His Majesty Alpha Ares and Her Majesty Luna Noelle.”

    *Dominic's POV* I don't remember when the habit grew in me,but whenever I felt uneasy,my hands subconsciously went on my neck and readjusted my tie a little loose. Selene had disappeared a while ago and was yet to come. There was a dance performance going on at the moment,and even with that as distraction.I couldn't concentrate. “You are yet to begin construction of the new hotel.”a business partner said,bringing me back in the moment. “Sadly.”I began clearing my throat. “But the materials have arrived already.I intend to start soon.”I replied,only now remembering that I still had a hotel to build. Selene was the type of person to make you forget all your responsibilities. “If I didn't know you for your work ethics, I would say you were lagging behind.” “It's not the case, comrade,I've just been busy.” The man chuckled mirthlessly. “Of course. You've been very busy with the lady in black.” Lady in Black,Serpent of Seduction,Queen of the Night,everyone had a nickname

The radio host looked at me,confused. “Excuse Me?” “When you were listing my credentials,you said previously,as though for some reason I had lost my status.” “Oh,”he chuckled,bringing his mouth closer to the microphone. “You see with all the mafia allegations flying around,it would be safe to say that you are known for…”he paused a while,desperately searching for a safe word in his head. “Crime?”I asked. “Is that the word that you're stuck on?” His face reddened. “Well,you are such a prestigious guest.I didn't want to offend you.” “The only offensive thing here is that you implied that I had lost my charm because of a few speculations. These things shouldn't be treated as plagues,if anything,it adds to my allure.I will g

Athena glanced my way with a concealed look of mirth in her eyes. “Why am I not surprised?Yolanda states digging her fork in her cinnamon roll. “That interview just further proves my point,she is a menace.” My mother took a deep breath and kissed her necklace of the moon goddess,praying reverently to it to calm herself. She exhales loudly and adjusts her grey hair to its normal state. “Sometimes,”she began, running her eyes around the table. “I forget I'm from a royal family,how did we come to this level of low? So low that a mere actress like Selene has the audacity to insult us on a public platform.” “Let's ban her…”Yolanda said immediately, “Cut off her life force from it's root.Never let her set foot in this territor

    *Dominic's POV* I had a big statue of a Swan in my home office.I had gotten it from the auction and since it was the most expensive item there,I was sure Selene would love it.The only problem was,she wasn't picking up my call. I dialled her number again and pressed the phone to my ear.I got her answering machine again–she wasn't available. I cracked my knuckles,my frustration was slowly becoming unbearable–I needed to talk to her. Caleb came into the room with his briefcase dangling by his side.She glanced at the Swan statue momentarily before mentally dismissing it. “What are you doing here?”I asked him. He headed to the drawers and began to search through it. “I think I forgot some files here.”He wears his glasses and begins scanning each folder closely. “I have a meeting in an hour,I can't go without it.” I shrug and return my attention to my own troubles. “What are you doing here?”He asked this time. “Didn't you say you will begin work today?” “I rescheduled.”I replied

She pushed open a blue door and inside revealed a small room with two wooden chairs,a big office desk that threatened to suck all the space out of the room and an old fan struggling to produce little breeze.The place didn't look expensive,but it was presentable.

Elais met me at the door. “Took you long enough.” “I had meetings” I explained,walking past him,I glanced at the tied up journalists in the living room and turned back to Elais,concerned. “Why are they tied up?”I gave them a second glance. “And blind folded too?” Elais's puzzled gaze went from me to the men and he came to me with a hushed whisper. “I thought it was an interrogation.” “It is,”I say,removing my jacket and my gloves. “That doesn't mean they can't be comfortable.Before this whole unpleasant ordeal,these journalists were my good friends,I intend to treat them as guests.They arent the enemies here” I sent a signal to the guards watching them to release them and they did as told. The journalists scurried and squinted until their eyes were used to the bright light.The first one to notice me gasped and his friends turned my way,also receiving my presence with

    *Dominic's POV* Well,Selene was apparently very preoccupied today.It had been hours since I tracked her location and found her. She was at a small Italian restaurant withthe friend She had left the brothel with. I don't know why she would ever go to a brothel in the first place but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and decided to approach her when she was alone. Little did I know that Selene planned to never be parted from this friend again.The hooker-like person Selene had taken as companion over me was a petite red headed woman,with boot heels tall enough to make her the same height as Selene and a hideous looking orange jacket. I didn't know her but I already despised her–or maybe the correct word was envy? Whoever she was,she seemed to had Selene's full attention and that looked so nice. Watching Selene with this ill dressed woman made me realize I had barely touched the iceberg of who Selene really was. For the longest time I thought she was just a charmer who picked m

I smiled in satisfaction,I didn't expect him to actually admit it. in fact,I'm glad he didn't…it meant a prolonged game.I loved prolonged games. Although I wished they had beaten him a bit more,that would have been nice to watch. I bent over and stuck my red nail under his chin,guiding his face to mine. “You poor thing.”I said sweetly. “My security thought you were a stalker,for a moment there I thought you wanted to rob me. I owe you an apology,they can be a bit brutal.” “No worries..”he sniffed,rubbing blood from his nose. “No,no.it's actually very worrisome, what if they get this violent with all my friends.Even if it was a fan,it's still a horrible way

But that had been a far fetched dream then yunno,I always knew that that was too big of a dream and I may never realize it,that way my happiness lied there-out of my reach,unattainable but at the soothing of some sort,it gave me something to fight for.

Lost in the sense that I no longer understood myself,and it didn't even have to do with my pregnancy,I genuinely can't even understand what's wrong with me ever since Elais and I slept together,the guilt was eating me up but one question remained. Do I even love Elais? The doorbell r

    *Selene's POV* I stared at the board blankly,I should be analysing the data on it to plan my next move, but instead, my mind is on the court case. Ares did everything to avoid specifying that we were together during the time of the murder,on one hand it could be him trying to protect me and on the other it could be him just being selfish and trying to protect his image now that he doesn't want me anymore. A sting reached my heart and spread like wildfire,my head began to feel heavy,when I was done with all this revenge was over with,what on earth will I do? My reputation is hanging by a fragile thread,my relationships with my partners are now severed,even Saint Locke doesn't talk to me anymore…and now Ares,not that I miss him, it just felt like I was losing so much of my life to this revenge–would it all be worth it? I replayed my last encounter with Yolanda and shut my eyes tight,that lying witch needed to pay,no matter what it costs,even if it was my happiness. “Have

    *Yolanda's POV* “Crushed,bay leaf,turmeric and–” I squinted,what on earth did Victor write here? How am I supposed to complete the potion now without the name of the ingredients? I slapped the piece of paper on the table and frowned. With Selene now in full anger grating at my back,it is getting crystal clear that Im getting into a deeper hole than I had estimated,the assurance of an antidote to any poison spell was the only thing able to give me a good night's sleep,though I doubt she would want to kill me by poison,It's better to be safe. If only Victor had fixed that terrible handwriting of his so I could actually understand how to make this thing. I grunted and slammed the paper down.It's as though everyone and anyone desperately wants me to die. A knock on the door interrupted me from my mental assault against Victor,the maid walked into the room and glanced at the herbs on my table in part confusion. “Well?” I asked harshly. “Are you going to talk or are you just tryin

    *Ares' POV*It's finally the day of the trails and my head is blazing hot. The only thing I'm grateful for is the fact that it is a private hearing but other than that,I hated the day already.The sunlight slicing through the grand windows of the courtroom is too harsh, too bright. It doesn't match the shadows creeping beneath the stone columns or the solemnity of the faces around me. The Council members are seated at their elevated sears, each expression a mixture of judgement, curiosity, and barely veiled contempt. Noelle hasn’t spoken a word since we arrived, which is odd, especially for her. She’s standing slightly behind me, her hands clasped in front of her, fingers fidgeting with the fabric of her coat. Her eyes, flickering nervously between the members of the Council, never quite meet mine. Her uneasiness was beginning to rub off on me and that's the last thing I needed today.“What's wrong with Noelle?”I hush to Elias as he walked to me.His face turned sour and he cleared h

The maid stood before me, her eyes darting nervously around the dimly lit hallway in the maid's quarters. I couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety with every glance she made over her shoulder. "Did anyone see you?" I whispered, my voice barely audible as I hid the small package within the folds of my dress, slipping it into my bra. “No,” she said quickly, still shifting on her feet as though someone might appear any second. “I was very careful, you don’t have to worry about it.” "Are you sure?" My heart pounded in my chest, the thrum of it so loud it echoed in my ears. Her constant fidgeting made my nerves spike. “Yes,” she whispered, her gaze finally meeting mine, her large brown eyes betraying something between pity and fear. “I have to go now.” My hand shot out and grabbed her wrist before she could escape, my fin

    *Yolanda's POV*"You are late." I sneered, my voice just low enough to avoid turning heads, but sharp enough to cut through the noise of the crowded restaurant. My eyes darted around, scanning the dimly lit place—a dingy old Italian restaurant tucked away in a forgotten alley. The smell of burnt garlic and old wine clung to the air, and the stuffy, close atmosphere made my skin crawl. I hated it here. It reminded me too much of my childhood. A place that reeked of sweat and desperation, where people came to lose themselves or drown their miseries in cheap alcohol.Selene approached slowly, her eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses. She looked out of place, too polished for a dump like this, but she moved with the confidence of someone who didn’t care. She placed her purse on the table and slid into the chair across from me, casually removing her glasses. Her lips curled into a mocking smile as she eyed me."You sound eager," she said in faux concern, her voice silky and cool. "Miss me al

    *Selene's POV*I am actually kissing Dominic.I leaned in closer, my lips hovering just above his, fighting to feel something—anything. Maybe it could be lust, desire, or even comfort, but I needed to feel something. His hands slid up to my waist, pulling me in as if I were the only thing grounding him. His lips moved against mine, soft yet desperate, like he was kissing me for the last time. There was a practiced rhythm to the way he responded, as though he’d been imagining this moment just as much as I had.For a second, I let myself be swept away by it. He was a great kisser—just as I had imagined. But my foolish heart had other ideas. Unbidden, thoughts of Ares crept in, reminding me of how raw, wild, and forbidden his kisses felt. It had been electric, uncontrollable. No matter how hard I tried to shut out the memory, it invaded this moment, and the comparison sank deep into my bones. I could feel my heart twist in frustration.I pulled away, almost embarrassed by the betrayal of

    *Dominic's POV* “So."Caleb concluded,slapping his notebook shut. “That's all for today.” I glanced at where Selene sat,she had her hair pulled behind her ears as she pensively stared into the void. I stared out the window of my office,hoping to distract myself from the seething anger within me. Just when I thought I was getting somewhere,the son of a bitch appears again and she follows him like a lost puppy. No matter how rationally I try to think,there is nothing innocent about them meeting up in secret. And it's even more intriguing that she didn't care to clear up the air after it,or ask why I left without her. “Any questions?”Caleb asks,noticing both of us are in our own words. I raised my hand mid air. “When this sting is over,will Ares be in jail or just off the throne.” Selene's eyes shot up and froze on me, staring at me as though I had asked the inhuman question known to man. “Well.”Caleb shrugs,choosing to ignore the tension between Selene and I. “I am not sure.”

I felt hot tears stream down my face when it wasn't working–why wasn't she vomiting? How deep did the damn cake go? Was it way too late? I grabbed her throat and started her deep in the eye. “Listen Noelle,”I say breathlessly. “You have to vomit—” I felt hands yank me off her and another line of tears rushed down my cheeks. I wasn't going to lose my daughter,at least not tonight. “She poisoned the cake!”I yelled,trying to free myself from their grasp. “Selene poisoned the cake! I heard her say it!” I looked around the room In hopes they would start accusing Selene but all their eyes were still glued on me,with pity,as if I was crazy.
