Hudson POVHudson’s expression softened as Selena’s voice trembled, each word laced with the pain of her past. His heart clenched at the vulnerability in her eyes, the way her lips quivered as she tried to hold back the flood of emotions.“I didn’t want you to judge me,” Selena whispered, tears brimming in her eyes. “I don’t want you to reject me. I was scared- scared of what you would think of me after knowing about my past. I’ve always believed that my mate would reject me, that I was worthless. The people here forced me to believe that nobody would ever want me.”Hudson's jaw clenched as he listened, the ache in his chest growing with every word. He had known she carried scars, but hearing the depth of her pain, of her belief that she was unworthy, made his blood boil. He wanted nothing more than to hunt down those who had broken her and make them pay.“When I first heard that I was going to be sold to you by my father,” Selena continued, her voice cracking, “I thought it would be
Selena's heart raced as Hudson brought her toward the grand arena of the Moonlight Pack. The crowd was thick with murmurs and tension, but none compared to the unease growing in her chest. Something was off—something extreme was about to happen, and every instinct in her body screamed for her to be on guard.As they approached, her eyes fell upon the highest seat in the arena, where her father sat, his expression dark with anger. His fist clenched tightly on the armrest, his knuckles white with rage. On either side of him sat her brothers, both with faces void of concern, as if they couldn’t care less about whatever was unfolding before them. Selena’s gaze shifted to Princess Moora, who sat beside an unfamiliar man—his skin pale, his features sharp, and his hand softly caressing Moora’s as though he was claiming her. It didn’t take long for Selena to realize this man must be her mate.The sight stirred something deep inside her a flood of memories she’d been trying to push away. She r
Selena's eyes widened as she saw Michael and Jenni being dragged into the arena, their hands tied behind their backs and their heads hanging low. The Moonlight pack guards tugged them forward. Michael’s furious eyes scanned the crowd, while Jenni's face was streaked with tears."A-Alpha," Selena stammered, her voice trembling as she reached toward Hudson’s arm, desperate. "Please… I didn’t want—"Moora leaned in, her smile sharp as she whispered to Selena. "You should never interrupt an angry Alpha wolf, Selena, whether he’s your mate or not."Selena's heart raced as she looked at Hudson's blazing red eyes, realizing Moora was right. "Don’t you see? His wolf has taken over."Before Selena could respond, her brothers’ voices rang out across the arena, cutting through the tense air."What is the meaning of this, Father? How can an Alpha from another pack disrespect my mate? The future Luna of our pack!" one brother shouted, his voice filled with rage."And why is Jenni there? What’s goi
"This is all because of you!" Alpha Antionio roared, His eyes were blazing with fury as he pointed an accusing finger at Selena, his voice dripping with venom. " "Is this what you wanted? I should have killed you the day you were born. You really are a monster, just like him. A monster who wants to destroy her own pack!"Selena flinched at the harsh words, Antonio's hatred bearing down on her. Her knees weakened, but this wasn’t the time to be afraid. She straightened her back, the past wounds, all those years of feeling worthless, of being treated like dirt by her own family, flashed before her eyes. And now, he dared to call her a monster.Her hands trembled, but her voice didn’t falter. "I am not the monster here, Alpha Antonio," she said, respect for her father was long gone, her voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside her. "You are."Antonio snarled and raised his hand to slap Selena, but Hudson stepped forward, his towering presence suffocating the atmosphere.

I—I’m with pup," Jenni sobbed, her voice barely audible but enough to capture everyone’s attention. "My Alpha is going to become a father... Please... spare him. I beg you," she whimpered, tears streaming down her face as she clutched Selena’s leg, her body shaking.Selena’s eyes widened, her icy expression faltering for a moment. Jenni’s words hit her with a jolt. With pup? The realization made her chest tighten.She glanced down at Jenni, who clung to her leg, sobbing and trembling like a fragile leaf caught in a storm"Please my child-- is innocent -- don’t let it grow up without a father.” Her voice cracked as tears fell freely, soaking the dirt beneath her. “Sister Jenni, Do you remember how you and your mate treated me? Do you remember the pain you caused? was I not innocent back
Hudson POVI couldn't process what was happening. She wasn’t supposed to be here. Move! she screamed, my wolf howled inside me in pain, as I was frozen.Selena jumped in front of me.I watched in horror as her small frame leaped in front of me, as a shield. She took the rod which was aimed directly for my heart. It all seemed to happen in slow motion.I heard her cry out in pain, a sound that ripped through me like a thousand knives.

"She’s spilled water all over our plans! This wasn’t supposed to happen!" The woman paced furiously around the room, her steps echoing off the walls. Panic was evident in her voice as she wrung her hands together. "What are we going to tell Alpha?"Calm down," a deep voice replied from the shadows. His tone was steady, almost dismissive. "Don’t overthink it. There’s always a reason behind her actions. And don’t forget, she’s trained—and the Alpha King’s favorite."The woman stopped mid-step, turning to face him with frustration burning in her eyes. "Can’t you see? She’s fallen in love. She’ll ruin everything! She’s not the right one for this job anymore."" That's not for you to decide. Just follow orders"HospitalHudson Pov.........The healers stood silently around the room, their heads bowed in defeat. I gripped Selena’s cold hands, trying desperately to reach her wolf, but the connection was slipping. Her pulse was barely there, so faint I feared it would stop at any moment. Her
The room felt colder now. My mother had left, leaving me alone with Selena. My heart raced as I stared at her, lying so still. Her chest rises and falls with slow, even breaths, her face so peaceful, and yet, my heart aches as I watch her lying there, still unconscious. I kneel beside the bed, my eyes lingering on her soft skin, tracing the contours of her cheek with the backs of my fingers.My mate. My Omega. My everything.My heart swells with love and devotion, a feeling so powerful it threatens to consume me. I brush a stray strand of hair from her face, my hand trembling slightly. Even in her stillness, she has a power over me that I can’t explain. It’s as if she’s pulling me in, even while she sleeps, speaking to me through the bond we share. I lean closer, pressing my forehead gently to hers, breathing in her familiar scent, the one that always manages to calm my soul.“I love you, Selena,” I whisper, my voice thick with emotion. “ My love for you would not let me do this to yo
