DamianI knew Selene was up to something when it was reported to me that she visited Adrain’s mate.Dinner rolled by but she didn't show up and when I went to her room this morning, she persistently asked me about Adrain’s mate.When Adrain’s mate came into the dining room looking healthy, I stared at Selene in suspicion.She knew something and it made me edgy but one thing I know is that she can't know more than she already does.My thought was cut short by Adrain’s voice “Did something happen between you both, why is she crying?” Adrain asked, looking clueless.I rubbed my face in frustration, “You do realize that Selene may or may not have healed your mate?” I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral.Adrain shrugged his shoulders, settling on the seat opposite “Then I should be grateful to her” He said, his expression sincere.I sighed, a wave of frustration washing through me “You don't get it, do you? She is asking questions, which is not good. She is supposed to be in the dark” I
SeleneI stared at my burnt hands as they healed up quickly. I am starting to hate what I possess because it feels like a curse and I also believe it is the reason why I never found true happiness.The microwave beeped, breaking my reverie. I wiped away my tears and carefully placed a new cup of hot chocolate on the tray. With a deep breath, I headed back to the Alpha's chamber.Olivia took a deep breath, her voice hesitant “I guess I shouldn't have thrown you a hot chocolate,” Olivia said.I scoffed mentally “It was my mistake,” I said, forcing a stiff smile.“Seat, I will treat your wound” Olivia offered, I could feel the pretense behind those smiles.“Not to worry, my wounds are healed already” I informed her, I felt Alpha Damian’s piercing gaze on me as I exited the room. I bumped into Octavia in the hallway, “Hi Selene” She chirped. I have been trying to avoid her since our last conversation but she seemed persistent in wanting to be friends with me.“Hey,” I replied nonchalantl
SeleneI turned to the owner of the voice and found Emery’s shocked face “Ohh my goodness Selene” She said, rushing towards me and pulling me into a hug.“Hey, when did you arrive?” I asked as we broke from the hug.“This afternoon, I have looked everywhere for you. I didn't find you in your room and I couldn't reach your phone” She said hurriedly.“Wait, why are you putting on a slave outfit?” She asked, eyeing me.“It's a long story, Emery,” I said, sighing.“I will listen to it, I don't mind,” She insisted.“I still have work to do, we will talk later probably,” I said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.I went ahead to call everyone to have their lunch, I was busy serving lunch when I heard Lucien ask “Selene is no longer your breeder now is she?” His gaze locked with Alpha Damian.Alpha furrowed his brows “As you can see, she is now a slave” He said, returning his attention to his food.“Great, now I have the opportunity to court Selene, I have been wanting to do so,” He
Damian“Great, I have the opportunity to court Selene, I have been wanting to do so” Lucien grinned. I sighed, staring out the window of my office. I badly wanted to wipe those grins off his face and Selene, that lowly slave didn't even refute him.I wouldn't even lie, I saw this coming because of how Lucien doted on her.“You shouldn't be bothered by a lowly slave” My wolf chimed, while I scoffed.“Can I come in?” I heard Adrain’s voice behind me, I turned to find him already inside the office.I eyed him, “You are already in,” I said, heading to my seat.“You should let them court each other, I see no problem with it,” Adrain said, settling on the seat opposite mine.I shot him a hard glare “You seem to be forgetting so quickly. Selene is like a specimen to us, she is off limit” I said, a frown etching on my face.“Lucien doesn't know that, if you persist he will suspect and you know how your cousin behaves” He explained, leaning into his seat.“What I have said is final, I won't l
SeleneAfter I exited Alpha Damian’s office, I headed outside for a breath of fresh air when I saw three pups laughing at another pup who was on the floor bleeding.My heart sank as I ran towards them “You should help him not laugh at him” I chided them, scooting closer to the injured pup.“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice trembling with concern. I knelt beside him scanning his wounds, they were bleeding and he was wailing profusely.I stared around looking for a sharp object, and immediately I found one, I slit my wrist with it “Selene don't” Lyra warned but I ignored her letting my blood drop on his injury.His wailing intensified and he lost consciousness, I panicked trying to wake him up but he didn't budge. “What did you do to him?” A stern voice demanded from behind me, my heart stilled as I turned to the owner of the voice The woman glared at me, her eyes blazing with suspicion “I didn't do anything" I protested, my voice shaking “ I was only trying to help” I said, but she lo
SeleneRated 18!!!I found myself in a place filled with vibrant flowers, I sat down lost in the beauty when a soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts “Ohh dear, you are here” I turned in the direction of the voice.A figure stood behind me but I couldn't see the face “Who are you?” I asked, squinting my eyes to get a better view.“Your Mother,” She said, her voice soothing and familiar. I frowned, confusion etched on my face “My mother?, my mother is dead,” I said, sadness resonating on my face.“True, I’m sorry we left you at a very young age but you are destined for greatness” She voiced, her voice filled with concern.I clenched my teeth “If destined for greatness means suffering then I do not want it. All my life has been since I can recall is misery” I yelled, my voice trembling.“And now I possess a power which is more like a curse, I want to be able to live freely” I spat, my eyes brewing with tears.“I understand your grievance, but everything will soon be clear. You’d get
SeleneLucien's finger grazed my skin, sending shivers down my spine “Looks like an injury” He said, his eyes narrowing with concern.I stepped back, smiling nervously “Ohh, I scratched myself last night” I lied, trying to brush it off.His gaze lingered on them for a while “Okay, please be careful” He said finally, his eyes meeting mine.I nodded, feeling a mix of guilt and relief “I will be, thank you” As I turned to leave Lucien called out again “Selene” I turned back, my heart racing with anticipation.“I got the books you wanted, it's in my room,” He said, a hint of a smile on his face.My face lit up with excitement “You did?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“Mmm” He nodded, walking ahead of me while I trailed behind him.“Here you go,” He said, handing me two heavy books.“You have to return them as soon as possible” He warned while I nodded, grabbing the books to my chest.“Thank you so much, I will return it before you know it,” I said, sauntering towards the door
DamianI tossed and turned around on my bed as I struggled to shake up the haze of sleep. It felt like my head was hit with a block.I slowly opened my eyes, wincing at the bright light that flooded the room. I carefully sat up holding my head to prevent it from spinning out of control.I drank quite a lot last night after seeing Lucien kiss Selene on the forehead. Anger and jealousy filled my soul at the sight.Speaking of Selene, a smirk formed on my lips as I remembered our last night escapade, how she surrendered under me and her scream of pleasure still echoed in my mind “She may not have anything to do with Lucien” I muttered.After a quick bath, I felt a lot lighter and refreshed. I made my way to the dining room for breakfast, my eyes scanning for Selene.I caught a glimpse of her throughout the meal, but she deliberately avoided me. I could feel my anger boiling at her indifference despite what happened last night.********I stood by the window, lost in my thoughts, after Se
Author's POVSelene screamed as she was thrown into a vehicle, she held her stomach being protective of it.She couldn't see where she was but she could hear an engine starting up and the car moving.She tried to scream again but a slap was passed across her face before her mouth was tied up.She wept silently and prayed to the moon goddess that nothing would happen to her and her unborn child.Shortly the car stopped and she was shoved out of the car. The air hit her as she was dragged into a place and pushed onto a chair before she was tied up.Her mouth was untied and she screamed, her tears falling freely “Who are you people and what do you want?” She asked, trembling.“You have hurt one of us and you will pay for it” She heard the rough voice of a stranger.A cold chill ran down her spine.************CRIMSON MOON PACKDamian scanned around for any sight of Selene but couldn't find her. His worry grew increasingly. “Lucien, have you seen Selene?” He asked, his brows scrunched up
SeleneI dressed up quickly and headed back to the office. “Where is she?” I asked, locking my gaze on Adrian.He coughed, gazing at my hair “What?” I asked, darting my eyes to Damian whose face was cast downwards.“Your hair looks disheveled,” He muttered.I widened my eyes in embarrassment running back to the bathroom to fix myself.I scratched my neck, after I stepped back inside “We were doing a pillow fight, I told him it was a silly thing to do” I whined, smiling nervously.He chuckled, “Yes, I understand. Dorathus is in the dungeon” He said.I sighed in relief as he changed the topic “We will see them tomorrow” Damian said.After he left, I sat on the couch slamming my face “Adrain will think I am a pervert” I groaned.Damian chuckled “This is what normal couples do, it's nothing to be ashamed of” He coaxed.I nodded, remembering why I came here in the first place “Have you thought about Axel?” I asked.He sighed, settling on his seat “Although I am having a double mind, we wil
SeleneMy eyes were wide with shock at the people she just mentioned. I chuckled, “This is a joke. It can't be true right?” I asked, my heart beating rapidly.“It's the truth, Dorathus has always been my messenger. All those strange letters you got were us throwing a bait, Damian was taking too much time, I had to take over” She snapped.I gasped “Oh my goodness,” I said, my voice barely audible.“Wolftamer thinks he can back down after we have gone this far. Since he went to that mountain he has become off and then you visited him and charmed him” She screamed.“He has refused to supply me the concoctions anymore claiming that you are innocent and he can't bring himself to harm you” She snarled.“So you weren't sick, all this was a lie to gain power and rule. For over twelve years you laid in a vegetative state for this?” Damian asked.“I don't care if I have to stay twenty-five years as long as I achieve what I want,” She screamed.“I will not let you harm this pack and its people b
Damian“I..I, Damian what are you doing here?” My mother asked, smiling nervously.My eyes moved to the supposed maid that poisoned Selene before I gazed scornfully at my mother “Have them all thrown into the dungeon immediately” I yelled.“You can't do that, I am your mother!!!” My mom yelled as she was dragged away.I sat down in confusion, I always thought my mother’s dislike for Selene was because I never told her about Selene while she was in a vegetative state. But plotting with Olivia to eliminate my child, her grandchild is unbelievable.I stood up lazily and trudged to my chamber, when I got in Selene was already sleeping on the couch with a slice of pizza in her hands.Her light snores were beautiful, I chuckled, dropping the bottles of water on the table.I tried to take away the pizza but she held onto them tightly. I succeeded in taking the pizza away from her before carrying her to the bed.I slept off while thinking of how to handle this situation and how to even break
DamianMy mind has been uneasy since Selene went to meet Axel but I decided to act cool with the thought that he wouldn't harm her.I went to check up on Lucien who I bestowed with the responsibility of handling Silver Crescent pack members.“They are blending in and settling down very well, you don't have to worry about them causing problems for the pack” He assured.I nodded and headed to my office to attend to my pending work. I was engrossed in a file when the door opened.I raised my head and found Selene walking in, I smiled, dropping my pen. “You are back?” I asked. She nodded, “Hmm, a maid told me you were in a meeting,” She said.I raised my brows, frowning “What maid?” I asked.She let out a nervous laugh “The one you sent to serve me juice” She replied.I narrowed my gaze, saying “I didn't send anyone to serve you juice”Her face contoured and she ran to the bathroom “Selene!!” I called after her, my eyes widening with shock.There was blood on the sink; she was vomiting b
SeleneI felt trapped in this darkness, I couldn't move or even blink. My body remained motionless.I could hear voices of people both incoherent voices and audible voices but the one that stood out to me the most was Damian’s voice.He was constantly talking to me, filling me in on how his day went, that he was sorry for keeping a secret from me, and then how our unborn child was faring.I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't. I heard Lyra pleading with me not to give up. I tried and I kept pushing but the pain was too overwhelming.And then I felt my hands move, gradually my eyes blinked and I saw a ray of hope. I fluttered my eyes adjusting it with the light.My eyes met a white ceiling, it moved darting around the room, and there was no one in the room. I was in Damian’s chamber.My hands instinctively went to my stomach.“I am glad I didn't lose you” I whispered.Slowly, I sat up and then I took a deep breath, attempting to stand up. After a successful attempt, I walked carefully
DamianI gazed painfully at Selene as she gradually slipped away, that idiot injected her with wolf's bane, a ton of it.“Drive faster” I yelled, tears rolling down my chin. Immediately our pack came into view, I pushed the door and ran to the pack’s hospital.“Get Doctor Ralph for me” I yelled to one of the nurses.I placed her on the bed and rolled her to the theatre “Alpha you have to wait here” The nurse urged.I peeled my hands away from the bed, stepping back. The light came on and for the first time, I prayed to the moon goddess to save her and our unborn child.Adrian rushed in immediately, “Damian how is she?” He asked.I shook my head, “She is still inside the theatre” I whispered, wiping my tears.I felt a cold run down my spine when I remembered that if I had been an inch late, Selene would have died.Hours passed and I hadn't heard any news from the doctor, the nurses ran out and rushed back at intervals but none said a word.Lucien walked in, patting my shoulder “Damian
Damian“Selene, Selene!!” I called out, chasing after her but Lucien held my hands.“That's enough Damian, you have done more harm than good. I told you not to hurt her again but you didn't listen” He snapped.I pinched the bridge of my nose “Am I supposed to pay for the sins of my father?” I asked.“This is not about paying for your father's sin. The moment you realize that you were in love with her, the least you could do was tell her the truth” He yelled.“The truth was more important than mating her or making her as your Luna talk more of healing your mother who doesn't even approve of her” He snapped.He sighed “Damian, she didn't have to find out this way, this is the highest level of betrayal,” He said and walked off.I sat on the couch, Agatha warned me but I refused. “How was I supposed to tell Selene the truth?” I thought.The door burst open and Adrain rushed in “What happened?” He asked.I explained everything that happened to him, and he sat on the floor “Damian, our past
SeleneI titled my head “Fancy seeing you here” I said, darting my eyes around to be sure I was safe.“I came alone, no need to be scared,” He said, getting close.“Keep your distance” I warned, eyeing him.He raised his hands in surrender “Okay”“What are you doing in this area that, too close to the Crimson Moon pack?” I asked.“I have been here for days trying to get past the borders to meet you but I can't,” He said.“It's called security and if I may ask, why are you looking for me?” I asked, gazing suspiciously at him.“To seek forgiveness” He muttered.I chuckled deeply, “Is that a word?” I askedShock passed through his eyes “I know I and Imogen have wronged you but this is me apologizing for my misdeed” He said.I laughed “I have heard that word a lot, it's now sounding like a broken record,” I said, gazing at him furiously.“You know, I am not even angry at you besides you have every right to reject me but Imogen, a lady I called my best friend, that's despicable” I half yel
