Selene
"Are you okay?" Emery questioned, gripping the chair I was sitting on tightly.
"Yes, he is really frightening," I stifled a giggle.
She added, "He may come across as intimidating, but on the inside, he is cool."
"I doubt it," I said to myself.
"The doctor is on her way; let us get you to your room." She offered to help me get back on my feet.
I was led into a room that appeared to be larger than my previous one, with a large bed and everything properly arranged and decorated.
"Okay, this does not look like a place a slave would stay," I muttered.
"Slave? Who said you were one?" She chuckled, looking surprised.
"Well, I was bought, so what should I expect?" I settled onto the couch with a shrug.
"You are anything but a slave!"
"Why should I see a doctor?" I probed.
She responded, "Well, the Alpha has the answer to that," and I had the impression they were concealing something.
After a while, an elderly lady was led into my room. "Good day," she said as I mumbled greetings and nodded my head.
She began to examine me, which was unfamiliar to me because I am not a doctor.
"Everything is fine," she said, motioning.
"Is this something you have done before?" She questioned while maintaining eye contact.
“Done what?” I inquired, visibly stressed.
"Had sex?" She inquired, and I was already choking on my saliva.
"No" "Okay," she replied, packing her belongings and leaving me with yet more questions.
Knock knock.
The door pushed open, revealing the intimidating Alpha. I sat up, aware of his strong presence around me. He walked closer, hovering his massive figure in front of me before settling down on the bed.
"You are good, but not emotionally stable, according to the doctor," he said, pausing.
I looked at him warily as he said indifferently, "I bought you because I needed a breeder."
"You are kidding, right?" I laughed, but it subsided when I saw the grave expression on his face.
"You what.. Me a breeder?" I stuttered as he stiffly nodded.
"I can't!" I said resolutely.
"You have no choice," He told me showing his dominace, his expression belying his ignorance.
"I am just letting you know, and if you do not do your job properly, you will be a slave," he said, leaving no room for argument.
“Can I at least think about it?” I asked, bitting my lips showing my fears as I observed his eyes lingering on my lips.
“There is nothing to think about, I bought you which means you can't say no to me” My persistence seemed to have angered him.
"After I breed your heir, what happens?" I questioned while maintaining eye contact with him.
"You will be granted your freedom," He echoed, but the tone of his voice filled me with fear.
"Why do I feel like my freedom means death?" I wondered aloud before realizing I had, and his expression blazed with anger while a vein popped out in his neck.
"You would be ready for the task tonight, until then." He fixed me with his gaze, and before I could comprehend his meaning, he had left my room.
I lay on the bed, staring at the colorful walls. First I was rejected by my mate, then betrayed by my best friend, and now I have been sold to become a breeder. I do not recall the last time I felt truly loved and cared for.
I murmured gloomily as I wiped away my tears, "Lyra, you must be tired of being my wolf." I never let myself cry; instead, I bottled up my tears because I had no one to dry them for me.
“Well, what can I do? I can not leave your sorry ass," she sarcastically replied, and I burst out laughing.
"Are you able to speak?" I inquired; this was probably the first time I had heard her speak since I met her.
"I just did," she teased, her demeanor playful.
I was about to strike up a conversation with her when there was a knock on the door, and Emery came out.
"Well, you have become a regular visitor," I said as she beamed at me.
"Was he here?" She asked as she sat down beside me.
"Yes, and his arrival never seems to bring good news," I muttered.
“He wants me to breed his heir, doesn't he have a mate?” I inquired, my gaze drawn to her.
"He does not believe in mates, but he loves a woman who can not bear his heir, so he needs you," she explained, and I nodded.
I took a deep breath and held her hands. "He said I could get my freedom; does that mean I get to leave?" I asked, my eyes bright with hope, but she quickly averted them, and that is when it hit me, I will never be able to leave this place.
I released my hands from hers and muttered, "I get it," as she gave me a pity look.
"I hope tonight goes well for you; try your hardest." She gave me a smile and patted my hands before heading out of the room.
"Lyra, the door is open for you to leave," I sang, as she whimpered.
“Dumb again?” I teased.
As the sun began to set, my heart began to race, and the knock on my door nearly ripped my heart out.
"We are here to prepare you for tonight." The two ladies said looking reserved, I nodded at them and let them in.
I would be ecstatic right now if I were not getting ready to be eaten by my predator after receiving the best hot bath of my life.
For the first time, I appreciated my figure; I had no idea I was this curvaceous. I was wearing a red, lacey nightgown that was extremely revealing.
Curvy hips, full breasts, and full lips, but the moon goddess was determined to make me suffer, and I gagged at the thought. My hair was perfectly styled in a messy bun, giving me a seductive appearance.
"You look gorgeous, my lady." One of the ladies commented, I was looking like a prey ready to be eaten.
“Let’s go” They led me out of my room, where I saw Emery gawk at me, then grinned.
Standing in front of a huge door “All the best” She whispered and I was left alone.
I gently knocked on the door while holding my breath. "Come in." A thick voice responded, lightly stroking my heart.
I opened the door a little and entered the dimly lit room, with the bedside lamp being the only source of light.
My eyes scanned the room for him, but he was not on the bed. I heard a sound and turned to look in that direction, where he sat like a Greek god, my gaze roaming his well-built bare chest. I returned my gaze to his face; his hair was falling and nearly blocking his field of vision, making me want to stroke it.
I saw him smirk at me, pulling my eyes away from him, I bowed my head. "You have not seen a handsome man before?" His luscious voices sang harmoniously to my ears, while I scoffed internally at his arrogance.
In an instant, he was standing in front of me, his strong almond and honey scent wafting through my nose, enticing my senses, and my heart leaped in excitement and fear.
With an expression I had never seen before, he gave me a quick glance and said, "Come." His words resonated deeply with me, and I clumsily followed him, my feet twitchy with nervousness.
He placed me on the bed, his massive frame looming over me before he fixed his gaze on me for a long moment.
“Part your legs for me, princess” Alpha Damian humored huskily like he was intoxicated, I whimpered as he voice sents a jolts of emotions round my body. An emotion that I wasn't supposed to feel.
I tried to spread my legs as he had instructed, but I felt something wet on my cheeks. When I looked over at him, his jaw tightened and he was staring at me with disdain.
"Get out," he yelled angrily, as I scampered away to my room, afraid of being consumed by his rage.
DamianFor the hundredth time, I called her name, "Selene." There is something about her and the way she makes me feel that I still do not understand.I stood close to my window staring at the stars, I very much expected her to react that way l when I attempted to touch her but it still hurt me a little bit.“Am I scary?, it is not like I forced her," I muttered to myself as my wolf growled.“What?” I asked, rolling my eyes."We both know you forced her; she did not consent to this," he said, slightly irritated.My wolf appeared to be drawn to Selene; I must admit, she is stunning, but I have a woman I adore.“Do you like her?” I squinted my eyes as if he were in front of me.“N...no, I just pity her” He stuttered.“Liar” I mentally yelled.“I heard you” He warned while I rolled my eyes.I knew he was lying considering the way he stuttered. Selene was more than a breeder to me but I do not intend to develop any feelings for her whatsoever.I strolled casually to my bed and laid on it
SeleneI couldn't sleep last night after the encounter with the Alpha, I was scared of what would happen considering the look on his face.Tossing on my bed, I heard the sound on the door “Who could that be?”I clutched my head feeling light-headed“Come in” I yelled as the door pushed open revealing Emery.“Hi”, She gave a cheesy grin while I rolled my eyes with a knowing look.“How did it go?” She asked, settling beside me.“I chickened out,” I replied in a groggy tone.“Ouch, you will be fine” She patted me lightly.“Freshen up, breakfast is served” She added.“Can I eat here?, I can't face him after last night” I pleaded, flickering my brows at her.“It is not in my power, don't keep everyone waiting” She appealed to me.“Fine” I replied flatly, as I sauntered into the bathroom.We both headed to the dining room, his scent was evident in my nose as my heart raced beyond control. I couldn't fail to notice how he doted on the lady sitting beside him.“Who is she?” I whispered to Emer
DamianI dragged Olivia into my office “Damian you are hurting me” She whined as I released my grip on her.“What was that?” I asked in a hoarse tone making her stepped back a little.“What?” She rubbed where I had gripped her lightly.“Olivia, Selene is not a slave. She is here to breed my heir can you not cause a problem?” I tried not to sound unpleasant.“You are siding with her, seriously?” She looked like she had seen a ghost.Exhaling, I held her shoulder “ I am not, I just don't want you getting into a fight with a commoner. She isn't worth it” I softly replied making her smile lightly.“Okay,” She pouted while I placed a kiss on it.“I have to discuss work with Adrain, I will see you later” I dismissed her as Adrain walked in.“How do you put up with her?” He asked, shaking his head vigorously.“Don’t speak about my woman like that” I frowned while he put his hands in a form of surrender.“Is she okay?” “Nice of you to care for a commoner” He mocked settling opposite me.“Tch
SeleneI almost drowned myself when I got into my room early this morning. I tried to scrub away his touch and the feeling I felt from being laid by him.“It hurts” I whispered as tears formed a cloth in my eyes blocking my line of sight while I remembered how he ushered me out of his room with anger despite falling and limping.“I’d wipe my tears and woman up if I were you” Lyra chided me. She always eluded this strong aura compared to how weak and vulnerable I was.“You can try to be a little bit nicer” I rolled my eyes while she scoffed.“As much as I hate to admit it, we are nothing but a breeder to the Alpha and we need to be strong and try not to get our hopes high even if he treats us well” Lrya advised me which happens to be her longest speech in a while now.I felt a feeling of satisfaction knowing that even though she didn't say much, I knew she loved and cared for me.“Lyra, I love how you love me” I let my tears fall freely while I tried to wipe them off.“I don't have a c
Damian It's been three days since I locked Selene up in the dungeon without food or water. Adrain and Emery had been on my neck to release her but I didn't budge.What I can't even place is if I was angry about what she did to Olivia or if the punishment was because she was flirting with Lucien that morning.The door of my office pushed open and an angry-looking Lucien walked in “This is the height of it, how can you lock someone up for so long?” He asked with disbelief on his face.“Do you have a thing for Selene?” I asked, looking pissed, he has been in this office more than I can remember since I locked her up.“That doesn't answer the question, you seriously locked her up because of Olivia. That girl is turning you into a beast” He spat furiously, heightening my anger.“Just leave before you join her,” I said in a gruff tone.“How about you make me join her? At least she would have some company.” He challenged me while I pinched my nose trying to control my anger.“Damian, three
SeleneThree days of darkness, hunger, and thirst in the dungeon have reshaped my priorities. My sole focus now is to complete my job, uncover the truth about my identity, exact revenge on those who've wronged me, and perhaps, just perhaps, find a glimmer of happiness in a life that's been forever scarred. But hope is a luxury I can hardly afford.The avoidance game was over. He'd finally called my bluff, requesting my presence in his chamber at 8 P.M sharp. The clock was ticking, and I couldn't help but wonder what lay in store for me tonight. It was time to face the music.I stared at myself in the mirror, the blue lacy gown matched my skin perfectly revealing my curves and my beauty. I packed my hair in a messy bun and proceeded out of the room.Exhaling, I placed a tiny knock on the door and I heard him asking me to come in.I entered and I noticed he stood still, his heart breathing rapidly, I took a step and another until I was close to him, my eyes blazing with intensity “You
SeleneI stood still when I heard his rough voice closely behind me “T..to my room” I stuttered facing him.He tilted his head to the side, “You need to take a shower” He uttered scrutinizing me.“Yes, I will do that in my room” I turned towards the door clicking the door knob.“Is there something chasing you from this room?” I turned to face him in surprise as he cocked his brows in confusion.“A commoner shouldn't sleep in the Alpha’s chamber” I reminded him while he blinked his eyes.“Use my bathroom,” He said, heading to the bed.“I’m sorry what?” I asked but he ignored me.I stood there for a few minutes before heading to his bathroom. I wrapped the bathrobe on my body after I was done scenting like him.“Change into this,” He offered me one of his tops and walked out immediately.I wore the top which was a plus size on me and headed to the room “I will go to my room now” I scratched my neck as he lay on the freshly changed sheets.“I am not done with you” He uttered in a gruff t
SeleneTwo weeks have passed since my fateful encounter with Lucien, and a fragile sense of tense calmness has settled over the pack.The Alpha's attention has been absorbed by pack affairs, allowing me to steer clear of Olivia's watchful gaze. Yet, I can't shake the feeling that something is amiss with the Alpha's behavior. But my concerns are overshadowed by the looming threat of the full moon, which will soon reveal whether I carry the Alpha's heir. The weight of this uncertainty hangs heavy, as today's moon's reckoning will determine my fate. Will I be reduced to a mere slave, or elevated to a position of power within the pack?The outcome is far from certain, and the pack's eyes will be upon me, waiting to see which path I'll take.“Are you scared?” Emery popped out from nowhere.“Ohh my goodness, you startled me” I held my breath glaring at her.“I didn't mean to, you have been staring into the space for over how many minutes” Worry was laced in her words as she patted my shou
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
