Selene“Are you sure you want to meet him?” He asked, pulling me back to sit on his thighs.“Yes,” I said, nodding with a tone of finality.“I will ask the guards to get him,” He said, stroking my thighs.We headed to the dungeon and as we got in I started sweating, it felt like I was suffocating suddenly I became dizzy. The experience I had in this place had traumatized me.I lost my footing, attempting to fall but Damian held me “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.I held my chest trying to breathe “Yes, I…I” I stuttered, closing my eyes.He began to pull me back “Let's go back and come some other time” He whispered.I shook my head, “No, I will manage” I insisted.I took a few more breaths before heading to the torture room with him. I met the sight of Axel’s battered body the moment I walked in.The place reeked of the stench of blood and sweat making me want to throw up but I swallowed the lump in my throat ready to face him.“Hi Axel,” I said, announcing my pr
SeleneI stood in front of the broken mirror, glancing at myself."Broken," I muttered; my life was as broken as the shattered mirror.My awakening ceremony was today, but I was not particularly excited about it, after all who would want a nobody like me for a mate? Yes, I have lived alone ever since and do not have any parents.I scoffed as I looked at my reflection again and then slumped onto the floor at the end of the cottage. I lost a lot of weight and looked really disheveled, but whenever I pass young girls my age, I can not help but notice the look of envy in their eyes. To be honest, I am not sure if I am attractive or ugly, but that is not my biggest issue.While I was lost in my thoughts, the cottage door creaked open, making that annoying sound every damn time. The sunlight burned my eyes as I shielded it with my hands, blinking to see who had just entered."Selene," Imogen chirped as she closed the door.Ever since I joined this pack, Imogen has been my closest friend. Y
SeleneAgonizing in pain from his words, I completely forgot about the burning sensation I had felt from the fall.I felt someone lift me up, and I looked up to see Imogen's face. As she helped me to my feet, she bowed slightly to the Alpha, apologizing for my misconception, while I stared at her with a scowl etched on my face.“Let’s go” She whispered, pulling me away, my wolf whimpering from being separated from our mate. As we walked away, I felt his piercing stare slashing my back and a wet sensation on my cheeks; I realized I was crying, but I quickly wiped them away to avoid appearing weak.*******“What were you thinking?” Imogen half yelled as I settled into the shabby cloak spread out at the edge of the cottage; unfortunately, that was the only bed I owned."He is my mate, I sensed it," I insisted, rubbing my buttocks. I had finally begun to feel the aftermath from the fall."This does not look good; did you notice the look of contempt he gave you?" Imogen said, exasperated.
SeleneTwo years later“Who works on the day of their birthday?” "Yes, that is me at the moment. Funny, huh?" Today was my twentieth birthday, and here I am scrubbing the floor of this massive mansion."Oh, you thought my mate would accept me later on?""Haew, that is not the case," I mumbled, wiping away my sweat for the hundredth time."Be quick, lazy slave." The head of the maids yelled loudly."She is always that way," I continued to work.I had finally finished all of my morning work when I ran into Imogen. "Hey," I said."Come with me, I have something for you." She said, pulling me towards the garden."Happy 20th birthday!" she said, and I could not help but notice the adorable little cake she was holding."Thank you," I said with a teary smile."Go ahead, make a wish." She beamed, and I closed my eyes, unsure of what to say but hoping for my freedom.As dusk was falling, I completed my afternoon tasks and went to my room. Something in me hoped that my mate would wish me a ha
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 no
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
Selene“Are you sure you want to meet him?” He asked, pulling me back to sit on his thighs.“Yes,” I said, nodding with a tone of finality.“I will ask the guards to get him,” He said, stroking my thighs.We headed to the dungeon and as we got in I started sweating, it felt like I was suffocating suddenly I became dizzy.

Damian “Damian let go, you are hurting me” Olivia whined as I gripped her tightly, dragging her to my office.I threw her in roughly, slamming the door close “Damian, I know you are lying to her. You still love me” Her eyes glowed as she smiled.She brought her hands to touch my chest but I held it “Stop okay? Just stop. I never loved you” I yelled.“It was a stupid obligation that kept me with you and I know you don't love me too, it's all about your selfishness to be my Luna” I spat, gazing furiously at her.Her countenance changed “I do not care what you think, you are going to reject Selene and make me your Luna” She screamed.I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling frustrated “Listen, I am done with you. Name your price and fucking leave my life” I snapped.“My price is to be your Luna, I saved you and lost my womb in the process and this is how you pay me back” She yelled.“I didn't ask you to save me okay? You could have left me to die, then I wouldn't have to deal with you”
SeleneI rolled my eyes at her drama, “Keep it low, he is trying to sleep” I whispered, pointing at Damian.Her pupils dilated with fury, “Get out before I have the guards take a criminal like you to the dungeon” She spat.I turned towards Domain, who was deep in sleep and unaware of what was happening. Carefully, I detached myself from his embrace and got down from the bed.I gripped Olivia’s hand tightly and dragged her out of the room “You are going to keep quiet until he wakes up, then you can rant” I snapped, locking gaze with her.“But for now, stay away from this room” I threatened, losing my grip on her.“How dare you order me?” She put out her hands to slap me but I held her back.I tightened my jaw “Don’t try it” I warned.I signaled the bodyguards to keep her at bay before heading back to the room amidst her tantrums.I locked the door and laid back on the bed and Damain wrapped his hands around me “Where were you?” He whispered, kissing my shoulder.“Bathroom” I lied, smot
SeleneImmediately I got into my room with Octavia she pulled me into a tight hug weeping softly. I patted her back blinking my eyes to prevent my tears from falling.“I am glad you came back” She whispered, pulling away from the hug.I nodded, smiling “How did you find the culprit?” I asked. I was extremely curious about it.Her face turned solemn “We haven't found them yet, but Adrain investigated the case and figured out that Axel framed you and he was also part of the accomplice. He is currently in the dungeon” She explained.My face blazed with fury at the mention of Axel’s name but I held myself back. I nodded, “Don’t worry we will find the culprit” She assured me. After that, she left the room and allowed me to rest.I slouched on the bed with mixed feelings, Alpha Damian had changed a lot in just a few days of being away from this pack.I could see the regret that crossed through his eyes and trust me I wanted to jump on him the moment I saw him blame it on the mate bond but t
DamianI pinched the bridge of my nose, frustration kicking in “How did this happen?” I asked.“We have taken the bodies to the packs’ hospital for an autopsy but I suppose they died from poison” Adrain informed me.“Have the chef locked up and keep a close eye on Axel,” I instructed.Adrian left the office but Lucien stayed back “You okay bro?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.I shook my head “No, no. Nothing is making sense” I half yelled, overwhelmed by everything that has been happening since Selene’s absence.I just knew I needed my woman back to have my sanity in check. “We will be fine,” Lucien assured me.The rest of the day went like a blur, early the next morning accompanied by Lucien and Adrain we headed to Pack Hospital for the autopsy result.“Good morning Alpha,” Doctor Ralph the pack's doctor greeted me.I replied in a gruff tone “Morning, what's the result?” He sighed, while I raised my brows “They killed themselves” He declared.I frowned, “How is that possibl
SeleneI widened my eyes “Witch?” I asked, locking my gaze on him.His eyes gleamed as he continued to say“Actually both” The old man smacked his shoulder making him yelp. “Go on, get her something to eat. She needs a lot of strength” He said, pushing him to the door.“How are you, Selene?” He asked, casting a concerned look. “You know my name too?” I asked, sitting properly.He smiled, saying“I know that which the moon goddess wants me to know” I nodded “About what he said, am I truly a witch?” I asked my curiosity at the top.“You have survived the torture for days, you need to eat and freshen up then we can talk,” He said, showing me the bathroom and some neatly arranged clothes to wear.The younger man whom I learned was an apprentice, came in with a tray of food before they all left me alone.I went to the bathroom and had a long bath, luckily all my wounds were healed. After the bath, I adorned myself with the outfit brought for me before settling down to eat.Hours later the
DamianRestlessness, quietness, anger, regret. These emotions flooded through me as I gazed at the open space lost in my thoughts.Days of pain, torture, and fear of never getting to meet Selene. I missed her a whole lot and I never truly understood what it meant to love someone deeply until this day.My relationship with Olivia was more of an obligation but with Selene it was pure and I fear she would feel the same way for me ever again.The pain, humiliation, and torture that I had melted on her must have reshaped her mindset towards me but I wasn't going to give up. I will make her fall in love with me.“Thinking about Selene again?” I heard a voice breaking me from my trance.I didn't realize that I was weeping until I felt the warm tears on my cheek. I gently wiped my tears meeting Lucien’s concerned gaze “I can't help it” I replied pinching the bridge of my nose.His expression softened “I believe she will return” He said, pulling out a seat and getting comfortable on it.I sig
SeleneI let out a pained yelp as I was forcefully thrown to the floor. Rubbing my sore butt, I stood up, confusion etched on my face. “Why couldn't I pass through?” I attempted to enter the hallway again, but an invisible force pushed me back, sending me stumbling.I staggered managing to keep myself from falling “I am Selene, I need to get through and find my identity. So please let me in” I pleaded.To my surprise, I heard a faint sound and the force holding me back disappeared. I stepped forward cautiously but Immediately I walked in, I was thrown into a place full of pins.“Ohh no” I muttered, my heart racing with fear. Dorathus had told me that I would face demons to get to the place where my Identity would be revealed.If I was to come out of the place alive I need to be extremely careful to move past this. I began to tiptoe, being careful not to be punctured by the pins.I scaled halfway through when exhaustion began to kick in. I stood still, gasping for air “Keep moving, t
Damian I forced a nervous smile, trying to process what Adrain had just said “By accusing the wrong person you mean Selene?” I asked.He nodded, dropping some files on my desk before sitting down “How did you know that?” I asked, raising a brow at him.“I admit that you asked me to drop the investigation but I couldn't. Selene isn't that type of person and I finally proved it” He said, tapping the files.I pinched the bridge of my nose, a wave of nausea scorching through me “What's in there?” I heard Lucien ask.Adrain Locked his gaze on me “Apparently, Axel lied about everything. Selene on the other hand was trying to find the culprit, she had approached Axel to help her not knowing he was evil” Adrain said.I snapped my eyes open “Axel?” I asked, shock etched in my voice.He nodded “Unfortunately, our most trusted warrior is a culprit, he framed Selene,” Adrain said.I furrowed my brows in confusion “Selene accepted the crime, why?” I asked.“From my investigation, Axel had threate
