SeleneI woke up with his arms wrapped around me. He was vulnerable with me last night but I didn't want to get my hopes high.I glanced at my reflection in the mirror before heading to the dining room. As usual, his woman was clinging onto him for her dear life, one would think she lived in this pack.I ate my meal quickly and headed out of the dining room. I need to be pregnant before the next full moon and it bothers me.“I wonder what will be my fate if I don't get pregnant” I exhaled, the event of that night creeping through my brain while I tried to shake it off.“There you are” I heard Emery’s bubbly voice behind me.“Hey,” I smiled as she settled near me.“What are you thinking?” She asked, scrutinizing me.“What if I don't get pregnant?” I asked while she sighed.“The doctor said you are fit to bear an heir, you don't have to worry” She assured me.“I’m just scared” I mumbled “In no time the full moon will come out and that will determine my fate.” I expressed my fears.“Don
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
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
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
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
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
Selene“Girl you need to leave” Lyra yelled, I turned towards the she-wolf trying to free my hands from her.She whimpered, and my heart tugged at the sound of it “Let's try one more time” I pleaded to Lyra.With a deep breath, I slit my wrist again because the earlier one was healed, closing my eyes I drop the blood on her injury.Muttering prayers and hoping it would work. I opened my eyes and found her wounds healing gradually. I smiled, hoping she would transform into her human state when the shuffling at the door drew my attention.I covered her body with the blanket, quickly drank the milk, and stood up “You should leave,” The bodyguard said flipping his gaze from the she-wolf to me.I force a nervous smile onto my face “I was about to” I said, hastily leaving the room.I quickly dropped the empty glass of milk and sauntered to my room feeling exhausted.Slumping on the bed, I summoned my wolf “Do you think it would work?” I asked.She hissed “You should worry about what would h
SeleneMy breath caught in my throat as I thought of the most insane things “Mate, is the Alpha her ma..” I trailed off, my words dying in my lips as Adrain rushed towards the frail she-wolf pulling her into a tight hug.“Get the pack doctor” He yelled, scooping her up in his arms and sprinting towards the pack hospital.I exhaled a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, feeling a mix of relief and confusion. Lyra's voice whispered in my mind, "You're falling for him, aren't you?"I shook my head vehemently, defending myself. "I am not!" Deep down, however, I felt a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that the she-wolf wasn't the Alpha's mate, but Adrain's. Alpha's baritone voice snapped me out of my thoughts “You aren't coming?” He asked, his eyes narrowing.I composed myself and walked beside him into the pack hospital, we got in and found Adrain pacing back and forth, his face etched with worry.“She will be fine” Alpha reassured him, placing a hand on his shoulders on him.
Selene I stood before the mirror, my fingers grazing the sensitive skin of my neck, sending shivers down my spine.The tiny mark on my neck was a piece of evidence that I was almost marked by the Alpha last night and the strong pull I felt for him seemed to have developed overnight.His elongated fangs and his red eyes were still embedded in my mind. Sighing, I took a quick trip to the kitchen to get his tea ready.After that I headed to his room and placed a knock on his door “Come in” I heard his rough voice, and I shuddered from the impact.I walked in and found him shirtless, his hair looking messy and a scowl etched on his face. My eyes widened, and I gulped nervously as he cast me a hard glare.“Good morning Alpha,” I said, forcing a smile to ease the tension. “Your tea is ready”He rubbed his sleepy eyes, his eyes softening lightly “Mmm, drop it” He muttered, pointing towards his bedside table. I placed it on the table, heaving a sigh of relief as he rose from the bed and he
DamianWarning, sexual content below!!!I stood tall over the sleeping figure as Adrain’s voice broke the silence “Do you think there is any progress?” He asked, his eyes locked on mineI tore my gaze away from the figure before me and focused on Adrain “If we hasten up on our investigation there might be some progress” I replied, my voice calculated.Adrain hands rested on my shoulder, his touch reassuring “I am sure we won't be late” He said, his tone confident.We lingered in the room for a moment, the air filled with unspoken words. Finally, we took our leave and the soft clink of our footwear echoed behind us.We stepped into the hallway as Olivia’s voice floated towards us, her tone inviting “Hey handsome, been looking for you,” I turned to face her, a smile spreading across my face “Is everything okay?” I asked my eyes, scanning her. Adrain excused himself, leaving me and Olivia alone. She grasped my hands, her touch warm“Did you send for Selene, I saw her coming from the
SeleneSince my call with Emery, everyone has been a suspect. I have concluded that what I possess is required by a lot of people and I am scared for my well-being.I am more determined to figure out what I am before anyone else does “Selene, Selene?” The alpha’s voice tugged me out of my reverie.“Ugh,” I stared confusedly at him.“You have been stabbing your food and not eating it, what’s wrong?” He asked while Olivia scoffed.“Ohh, I…it’s nothing” I smiled nervously, placing a steak into my mouth.“She is just seeking attention,” Olivia mocked as she hissed loudly.Alpha Damian's gaze narrowed his eyes warning Olivia to behave “Olivia, decorum” Alpha cautioned his tone firm.After breakfast, Alpha summoned me to his office.“Did something happen in that pack that you are not telling me?” He asked, his eyes boring into mine.I shook my head, trying to appear nonchalant.“Nothing happened there” I replied, as he tilted his brows gazing suspiciously at me.Sighing “You know if somethin
