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
SeleneLike a city ravaged by the wraith of plague, I've become a shadow of my former self, desperate to avoid the pack's scorn.Since the full moon, I've been a prisoner in my room, too afraid to venture out after the tense encounter with one of the maids in the kitchen. The pack's animosity towards me is palpable, and what's more, the Alpha's indifference cuts deepest of all. His silence and disregard for my well-being have become a constant reminder of my precarious position within the pack. As I hide away, waiting for the storm to pass, I can't help but wonder “Will I ever find a way to escape this toxic dynamic, or will I remain forever trapped in this web of fear and rejection?”“What am I still doing here when nobody is willing to talk to me?” I groaned while Emery chuckled.“I am talking to you, or is it that you can't see me?” She waved her hands in front of me.“He is even avoiding me” I mumbled while she patted my back.“Everyone will come around trust me, they just need
DamianMy world was turned upside down when it was revealed that she wasn't pregnant. In a moment of raw emotion, I lashed out, and our fragile bond was left dangling by a thread. Avoiding her seemed like the only way to escape the guilt that gnawed at my conscience. But the truth is, I crave her presence, her touch, and her warmth. Despite Olivia's hold on my heart, I find myself drawn to Selene like a moth to flame. “Where is she? And what secrets is she hiding behind those enigmatic eyes?" The news of her spending time with Lucien was a blow to my ego while my wolf taunted me for not treating her well enough.I burst into her room, ready to unleash my fury, but the sight of her sleeping form disarmed me. The soft rise and fall of her chest was hypnotic, and I found myself drawn to her, sitting down beside her to gaze at her peaceful face, my anger melting away with each gentle breath she took.“Good morning” I watched her yelp as her pecky breast bounced within the thin line of
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
SeleneI sprang to my feet quickly, my heart racing with anticipation as I rushed out the door but to my dismay, I met with an empty hallway.I let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing my forehead and I turned to head back inside and bumped into someone, my heart beating fast.“Are you okay?” Adrain’s concerned voice broke the silence.I released a shallow breath, my heart still racing “You scared me” I frowned, attempting to compose myselfHis expression softened “Sorry, I heard sounds and I came out to check who it was” He replied while I nodded.“It's nothing, It might be a rat or something” I lied heading towards my room.“Good night” I whispered, heading inside.I put the jar back in its position and headed back to the bed.I don't know if I was hallucinating or if this was the weird feeling of being in a new place but I was certain that something wasn't right.“Ugh,” I groaned, not wanting to ruin Emery’s beautiful occasion with my observation.*******I woke up with a scorching he
SeleneI stood frozen, my eyes wide with shock as I realized what I had done. “I…I” I stuttered but his thunderous voice cut me off.“Get out!!” He bellowed, his fingers pointing towards the door.I scurried away, heaving a breath after I had gotten in my room “Lyra you went too far” I whined feeling a mix of guilt and a hint of satisfaction.My wolf scoffed, her voice echoing through my mind “That man is heartless can't you see, I gave him a piece of my mind” she hissed.I giggled “Well, I enjoyed it, but we will suffer the consequences tomorrow” I stated, my grin fading into a frown.Alpha Damian is truly ruthless, refusing to apologize after melting out the wrong judgment and still acting like he owned me, well maybe he does.I hissed “Very pathetic”*******“Can I come in?” Emery popped her head into the room after a knock.“Thank goodness you are here, come in” I replied, rubbing my growling stomach.She settled beside me “I am hungry” I stated.“Dinner is over but you can get fo
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
