Damian “It's been long since you visited that place, what changed?” Adrain threw me a surprise glance when I told him where I was going.“I can't run forever” I shrugged, casually asking him if he wanted to tag along but he declined respectfully.I headed to the highest floor and strolled to my destination when I saw an unexpected figure staring with anticipation at the door.“How did she get here?” I thought observing her every move, she wanted to see what was inside the room.I questioned her on what she was doing there but her answer was quite shady. To inflict fear in her I made Adrain give her some punishment and I also made a mental note to punish the servant in charge of that particular door for leaving his duty post.She avoided my gaze all the while she served our meal, it itched me a lot that I started feeling a pang of guilt after seeing her little bruises.I almost lost it when Olivia slapped her for spilling a glass of juice on her clothes and how she handled the situati
SeleneEvery sound faded in the background when I read the first line of the letter from my supposed best friend.Although I wanted you dead, I am glad you didn't die at least you get to attend my mating ceremony with your mate, opps Ex mate…..I felt my tears slipping away blocking my vision and making it impossible to read the rest of the content.I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder as I heard him asking me if I was okay “How can I be okay?” I mentally yelled, tightening my grip on the letter.I finally glanced at the concerned look or should I say pitiful look “I am fine” I roughly wiped my tears but they just kept falling.“I am going to kill of all them” I heard Lyra scream.“Adrain please excuse us,” “Come sit,” He said softly, leading me to the couch as Adrain left the office.“It's okay not to be okay, you can cry as much as you want” He uttered in a reserved tone as my tears fell freely.I cried for what felt like hours until there were no tears left and during that time I co
SeleneWho knew that training to be a reputable woman for the Alpha was much of a hassle, I could feel my back aching and my legs throbbing from it.“I have never seen Olivia with such quality,” I thought.The lady assigned to train me took the work more seriously than I had imagined.“You are indeed a true leader” The words from her kept me pondering as I sprawled lifelessly on the bed.“What does she mean by that?” I mumbled, I have a very faint memory of my childhood days, and although I have wanted to know about my past, the fear of what I will discover kept hindering me.“What are you thinking about?” I abruptly sat up when I heard his voice.“Alpha, I didn't hear you come in” I bowed as he settled beside me.“How is the training going?” He asked, scanning me.“More like a death sentence, my whole body aches” I whined while he chuckled.“Freshen up and meet me downstairs in 10 minutes” He stood up walking towards the door while I looked perplexed.“Ughhh” I dragged my hair feelin
Selene“Keep it low, someone is tailing you” I heard the Alpha’s voice, ease written all over my phase as he released me.“Come with me” He dragged me till we got to the end of the hallway.“I am sorry, I didn't know it was you” I breathed out, gazing at him.“It's fine, welcome to our pack” He leaned to my level placing a lingering kiss on my lips.He placed his lips on my ear “Don’t get too close to my cousin, I hate to see it” He strengthened himself.“Go join the celebration” He walked off immediately while I stood trying to process his words.I stood there for how long till I heard Emery calling out to me “I have been looking everywhere for you” “Yeah, sorry I wandered off” I answered facing her as she passed me a glass of drink dragging me to where the celebration was taking place.**************Tomorrow I would confront Imogen, my bestfriend who had shattered my trust. The betrayal still lingered, a wound that has refused to heal. Now I am going to get my answers, although th
SeleneWith a thrill of victory jolting through my veins, I strolled into the room I shared with the Alpha, my footsteps echoing with the satisfaction of winning over my ex-best friend, my heart swelling with pride.The Alpha’s eyes met with mine and I could sense a hint of curiosity “I was worried about you, hope she didn't hurt you?” He asked the moment I walked in.“No, I am fine although she tried. I was ready for her and I had nothing to lose” I smiled, settling on the bed.“With the way you are smiling, it is very obvious you beat her to her own game” He chuckled, settling beside me.“You need to see the look on her face when I was leaving” I squealed, clasping my hands.I have never felt the feeling of satisfaction in a while and It felt like I was floating against all odds.“I am glad that you finally got the closure you wanted” Alpha gave a hearty smile.“I am thankful to you for the opportunity, it wouldn't have been possible if you didn't grant me this opportunity” I smiled
SeleneIt was finally the day of Imogen and my ex-mate's mating ceremony. I had woken up late because I had a long night.I blushed as I remembered the memory of last night “Daydreaming?” I heard his voice as I almost collided with him.“Huh?” I asked, striding out of my trance.“Is that a taint on your face?” He asked in amusement while I coughed.“N...no, Good morning. I was looking for you” I tried to divert the topic and was glad that I was successful.“Ohh, I had to meet with other Alpha’s. Is there a problem?” He asked, staring directly at me.“Not at all, I was wondering where you went to”“You must be hungry, let's head to the dining. I was coming to get you” He held my hands pulling softly towards the dining room.After breakfast, he tried to convince me to go to the beauty salon where other women of the Alpha had gone to get a makeover for the event tonight.“I do not fit in, I’d pass” I waved nonchalantly settling down on the couch in the room.“No one is going to say anyth
DamianI sat on my office table facing Olivia as her tears fell freely, I was torn between consoling her or letting her cry. Perhaps she found out that I took Selene to a ceremony in place of her.She wiped her tears, while I watched her beautiful face become red “Ever since she came here, you have changed” She hiccuped before continuing.“Damian, do you know the humiliation and how embarrassed I felt when I heard the news of how you took her to a ceremony and introduced her as your woman” She sagged her shoulder gazing at me with her teary eyes.A pang of guilt hit me as she asked “Do I still mean anything to you?” “Olivia” I called out, stepping closer to her and leaning to her level.“This isn't what you think, yes I overdid it by introducing her as my woman but I was only trying to help her get a closure with her best friend and her ex-mate” I explained wiping the remains of her tears.“You are ruining your beautiful face by crying and I don't like it,” I said softly, caressing h
SeleneGetting closure from a past rejected relationship and feeling a sense of rejection almost immediately is something that needs to be studied in my life.I do understand Olivia’s plight but the Alpha making it look like I was the one who suggested it all along was news to me.“I was so sure this wouldn't blow out of proportion, I guess I was wrong,” Emery lamented, pacing around the room while I was trying to concentrate.“Can you stay still or rather sit, you are making me feel dizzy by being all over the place” I huffed in frustration while she scooted close to me.I had an earful from Olivia this morning during breakfast and he sat there acting like I was nonexistent and now we can vividly hear the non-stop moans from Olivia.“They are surely having a good time” I chuckled sadly, blaming myself once more for getting my hopes high.I let myself in after knocking on his office door. He relayed the information of days that have been fixed to meet with him and how we should stick
DamianI sipped my tea, my mind consumed by thoughts of Selene. Her fragile state, constantly drifting in and out of consciousness, weighed heavily on my conscience. The guilt troubled me, reminding me that it was all my fault.“Alpha, breakfast is served," the servant announced, breaking my reverie. I nodded, handing her the empty glass, and made my way out.I walked straight to Selene’s room contemplating if I should check on her. Deciding against it, I made my way to the dining room.I saw a figure staring around, her body language quite uncertain, I took a quick stride towards her as a sense of familiarity dawned on me “Selene?” I called out, my voice reserved.She stiffened, then turned to face me, her head bowed. "Greetings, Alpha," she whispered, her voice barely audible. I asked, worry lacing my tone, "What are you doing here? Do you feel better?” I attempted to touch her but she flinched, moving away from me.My heart stilled, and I tightened my jaw. Fear flashed through m
SeleneThe stench of blood and sweat welcomed me as they dragged me into the dungeon.My tears fell freely because I knew I hadn't done anything “Please I am innocent” “Shut up” One of the guards sneered while pushing me into a smaller compartment and locking the door.**********I felt a pool of water on my face followed by a hit across my face tugging me awake, I raised my head meeting the stern look of the Alpha, making me scramble to my feet “You have the guts to sleep after stealing” He yelled, staring disdainly at me.I shook my head realizing that I had fallen asleep while crying “I didn't steal” I defended in a low tone while I felt a stinging slap on my chin.“You still have the guts to lie” He groaned.“Guards take her to the torture room” He ordered while I shook my head vehemently remembering my last experience with Olivia at the dungeon.“Please, I didn't steal anything. I beg you” I cried as they dragged me away.I was pushed onto a metallic chair and my arm tied behind
SeleneThe tension in the dining room was apparent, and I was counting down the minutes until it was over. Alpha Asher, the mysterious stranger, couldn't take his eyes off Emery, who was still clinging to my hand like a lifeline. I was stuck in the middle, trying to wrap my head around the fact that Emery had finally found her mate after waiting for so long and at the worst possible time when I needed her.“Emery please let go of me and eat” I whispered trying to figure out the turmoil brewing in her head.She reluctantly removed her hands away from me and attempted to eat, I could still feel the intense gaze thrown at her making her squirm uncontrollably in her seat.“Can you quit throwing her that gaze, it is making her uncomfortable” I snapped before I could stop myself. The room fell silent, with all eyes on me. Alpha Damian raised an eyebrow, and I bowed my head in embarrassment. "Let's eat," he instructed, saving me from further humiliation.After lunch, Emery’s mate asked to
SeleneI tossed and turned in bed, unable to shake off the events of the night. My mind was a mess of questions and emotions.I kept asking myself how my blood could heal the Alpha’s injury “Arghh” I screamed, dragging my hair.“Lyra,” I called out to my wolf.“I am trying to get some sleep if you would cut me some slack. You should sleep as well” She chided, she can be nonchalant at times.“I can hear you” She warned while I rolled my eyes, puffing some air.Just as I was starting to drift off to sleep, a knock at the door jolted me awake. I groggily made my way to the door, opening it “Emery not now” I whined before meeting the wary gaze of Alpha Damian.“Good morning Alpha,” I bowed lightly, trying to hide my sleep-derived face.He raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Did you sleep at all?" he asked, his voice low and husky.I shrugged, feeling a flush of embarrassment rise to my cheeks. "Maybe," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.His gaze lingered on me,
DamianAdrain's words of caution still lingered in my mind as I pondered the implications of having Selene as my personal slave. "Having her around will only bring trouble, especially with Olivia," he had warned.But I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to Selene than met the eye. I needed to keep her close, to solve the mystery that surrounded her.I reviewed the file on my desk, taking a quick peek at Adrain as his amused expression caught my attention. "What's so funny?" I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly."Do you have feelings for her?" he teased, his eyes sparkling with delight.I shot him a glare, my expression was stern. "Don't be ridiculous. What would I need a slave for?" I dismissed his suggestion, waving my hand in annoyance.But Adrain's words lingered in my mind, refusing to be silenced. "Was it possible that I felt something for Selene, something that went beyond mere curiosity?"I pushed the thought aside, focusing on the task at hand "Carry on with you
SeleneI rubbed my temples, trying to recall the events of the previous night. But my memory was hazy, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease."I...I don't remember what happened," I stammered, avoiding Alpha's piercing gaze.He raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable. "You killed a Rogue right in front of me," he stated, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine.I felt a surge of anxiety, my heart racing as I tried to process his words. "I...I don't know how I did it," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.His gaze lingered on me, his eyes narrowing slightly. "If you claim to be weak and ordinary, how did you manage to kill a wolf?" he asked, his tone laced with skepticism.I shifted uncomfortably, my fingers drumming nervously against my thigh. "I...I really don't know," I repeated, feeling a sense of desperation creeping in.His expression turned cold, his voice dripping with authority. "When you resume your duties, you will become my personal slave," he ins
SeleneI screamed in agony, my tears falling freely as a hot rod was lashed onto my skin. “P..please” I begged while Olivia stood there smirking.“Continue” She instructed while I shifted uncontrollably, the pain very unbearable.I closed my eyes when the bodyguard brought the rod closer to my skin. But just as all hope seems lost, I heard the Alpha's thunderous voice “Stop, I order you!!” I peeled my eyes open to meet his and Adrain’s worried gaze. I smiled sadly before everyone and the noise faded behind me.“Selene, Selene!!! stay with me” I heard a faint voice.I tried opening my eyes, the darkness almost taking over as I felt someone sobbing beside me.I struggled, my eyes gradually opening, everywhere looking blurry as I tried to decipher where I was.My vision became bright and I met Emery balling her eyes out “Hey” I muttered my voice barely above a whisper.“Selene, oh thank the moon goddess” She wailed, hugging me lightly.“Let me get the doctor,” She said hurriedly rush
Damian“You can reconsider your commands” Adrain suggested while I gazed out the window watching Selene do her job.“That won't tell well on me, an Alpha doesn't go back on their words” I replied my gaze still lingering on her.I made a promise that Selene would become a slave if she was without an heir and I was keen on seeing it go through despite the disappointment and hurt I felt.After the dining escapade with Selene, I retreated into my room to cool off but my slumber was short-lived.A faint cry for help echoed through my room tugging me awake.My senses were high on alert, calling me towards the west wings, I tried to ignore it but my wolf was getting more agitated and uncomfortable.I headed towards the slave chambers, my ear on alert, I found two figures. My vision squinted further until I noticed it was Selene and one of the guards in a compromising position.“How cheap” I spat and attempted to head back to my room when her scent wafted through my nose. I was taken aback,
Selene“First day being a slave and you are creating a scene already” I heard his rough voice closely behind me.“You seem to enjoy making a grand entry every time, Guards you know what to do with her” He instructed and I was hauled immediately by two muscular men.“This should serve as a lesson to all of you, no one defies my order” He echoed.The torture I received in the past was nothing compared to what I received today. I could feel my body giving away as I cleaned the huge hallway of the Alpha’s residence.I was brutally flogged by the guards for disobeying orders while the Alpha stood there enjoying the show after which I was subjected to hard labor.It's a surprise that most of my wounds were already healed.Exhaling, I sat on the clean floor catching my breath. “Here” I heard a female voice as I trailed my head to its owner.Emery was staring at me with a tray of food, my stomach rumbled loudly reminding me of my hunger “You would faint if you don't eat anything” She pushed t
