Chapter 56Selena's POV Focusing on the voice, I began to make out their words. They were in a discussion about some mark which apparently was a big deal. So why was my name called?"Are you absolutely certain?", Asher asked the faceless guest. "Yes sir. I didn't report earlier because I needed to be certain. The Red werewolves are rare so it was unbelievable at first. But I'm sure", the guest replied, his voice a tad bit deeper than Asher's. "But Selena's an omega", Asher sounded confused. "How can you tell me she's a Red werewolf?"I felt my heart stutter in fear. I'm nothing but an omega, what was all the talk about Red werewolves? Red werewolves were myths, at least I used to think so. They were basically spoken of in fairytale books, never in historical facts. Everyone believed that Red werewolves were too good to be true, they even rivaled Gammas, at least the books said so. "She's weak, and barely holds her place in a fight""Certain situations can make it show. She may no
Chapter 57Selena's POV "Where?", my voice held the same weight of desperation it felt. "Are you certain?", I asked. "Yes. Very", Lily kept her fingers on the spot. "There's no scar, no mark, not even a single patch of discolored skin except here", she tapped at the spot. It was right after my shoulders. With her fingers still placed securely on the spot, I twisted, trying my best to see what she was referring to. Lily rolled her eyes at my actions before she reached for a hand mirror, passing it to me. Placing it at the right spot, I twisted, my eyes finally catching the scar. It was like a raised bump, the jagged outline of a crescent moon virtually made out the outline of the scar. "Oh Goddess", I exclaimed. "What's wrong and why are you so suddenly interested in your body?", Lily questioned bluntly. "I mean, not that you don't care about your body or something as bizarre""Lily, I think I'm in really huge trouble", I confessed. "Why do you say that? Is everything okay?",
Chapter 58Selena's POV Lily and I exchanged a confused look. "Were you expecting someone?", she questioned. "No. Besides, who would find me all the way out here?", I asked, pushing the chair aside as I stood.Lily trailed after me, curiosity in our minds as I tried to silence the voice mentioning a certain name. It couldn't be her."Selena", the voice called out right on cue, causing me to groan. "Is that Cecelia?", I rhetorically questioned. Lily turned to me, throwing a shrug. "What would Miss Cecelia look for all the way out here?"Her question was valid but I was also aware that Asher may have ended things with her, so she had every reason to come for my head. Lily pulled open the door and just as expected, Cecelia stood outside, her hands crossed tightly over her chest. "Cecelia", I greeted. "Would you like to come in? It's chilly outside."With an annoyed huff, she took a step in, glaring at me for extra measure. Cecelia took her sweet time walking, as her eyes inspected
Chapter 59Axel's POV "What on earth are you talking about?", I faced Cecelia. Since she had found out about Asher's marriage, she had been hovering over me like a desperate bee, and my patience had been waning. "Please. You have to help me.""Cecelia. I'm Alpha of this pack. I don't have the energy to deal with something as frivolous as your love life", I frowned. "Asher made his decision and I honestly think it's time for you to live with it too.""Come on", she whimpered. "You like Selena, don't you? Then help me. If their marriage breaks, I can have Asher to myself while you can take Selena. I don't care what you do, just give me Asher", she clutched at my shirt. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. The thought was appealing, in fact, I would've jumped into the idea willingly but without forcing Selena to marry Asher, she had walked down the aisle with him, willingly. She preferred doing that than waiting a little while longer for me. She had a choice. And I really wasn'
Chapter 60Selena's POV "Were you just speaking to someone?", Asher questioned, his brows furrowed as he watched me. "No. That's quite silly of you to say. The network here is terrible, remember?", I forced a smile on my face. "Right. My bad", he raised his arms in surrender. "I thought I heard you speaking to someone""You heard wrong", I corrected. "What's up? Do you need me for something?""Not really. I just wanted to apologize", he entwined his fingers. "Apologize? What for?", I asked, frowning. "It's my fault that Cecelia came here. She was out to get me and because of that, you were pulled into the crossfire""What? Of course not. You fell for me, I'm honored", my words left a bitter taste in my mouth. I wasn't in any way honored that he found me intriguing just because of the new wolf status I had acquired. Asher was a selfish bastard and I wished I could punch him or curse him out but it was wiser to stay quiet and make him believe he was still in control while I was st
Chapter 61Selena's POV I'd been watching Asher carefully to ensure he was not planning something crazy. I didn't trust Asher, not one bit, especially after finding out he was nothing more than a selfish prick whose only aim was in finding a way to use me as some means to an end. I had thought carefully about it, putting myself in Asher's very sticky shoes. If I truly was a Red werewolf, the great status I held would never be taken lightly and as such, he had the assurance of a quick elevation in his status as well. Since he was my husband. It was a smart move, even I had to admit. And I realized how much I'd waved off Asher as no one more than just an arrogant jerk, but he was cunning. "What are you thinking so intensely about?"he asked me, smiling. I couldn't help but dissect the way he smiled. It didn't quite reach his eyes. "Oh, nothing. I just miss the bustle of the pack house. It's not as lonely as this place", I admitted, pouting. I had decided to drop not so subtle hin
Chapter 62Unknown POV Cecelia slid against the door, her butt landing painfully on the hard floor but she could barely register the pain, too absorbed in her thoughts. Her heart ached, so terribly that she'd gladly trade physical pain for the one she was currently experiencing.She clutched at her chest, squeezing tightly for a bit of an assurance that she was still in her reality. It was difficult to swallow, almost impossible, as a huge ball was lodged in her throat, painfully pressing against her skin. The waterworks hadn't even begun, and she felt it might never stop once it began. She took a swig of the bitter alcohol, and another until the taste had her gagging. This was the only way she'd be able to escape from the hurt and betrayal she was feeling, this was the only way she'd heal. A sob finally escaped her lips but that one trail of a single teardrop soon turned to two, until she was full on bawling, the sobs racking her body violently. Amidst her sobs, she felt ashame
Chapter 63Selena's POV I squinted at the sunlight hitting my eyes directly from the open window. Groaning, I clutched my head, already stressed by the very minimal amount of sleep I got. Lily was at my side before I could say 'Jack'. "Come on, you need to get up", she squealed in excitement, pulling me up even amidst my protests. "What in the goddess name has got you in such a cheery mood?"I yawned, taking me time to stretch properly. "A very good news which I'm certain you'd be excited to hear", she grinned. "Go and take your bath and come down", she urged, ushering me to the bathroom. With another groan and a few more protests I finally caved, trudging to the bathroom while muttering to myself. I had stayed awake last night, thinking of ways to protect myself from Asher. It was even more difficult than I originally thought as not a single idea crossed my mind. "Aren't you done?", Lily called out. "We're waiting""I'm coming. Gosh", I answered, shutting off the shower head b
