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
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
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
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
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 dragged my hair feeling frustrated “Who is playing this game with me?” I thought.“You look lost, is everything okay?” I heard Adrain’s voice behind me.I folded the notes quickly before turning towards him with a smile “Ahh, yes. I don't do well with the crowd” I chuckled while he nodded.“Do you want to get a drink?” He questioned while I nodded.We got our drinks and sat down sipping it quietly, I skimmed my eyes around still trying to find anything odd.“Are you sure you are okay?” Adrain’s voice brought me out of my search.I stirred my during with its straw, slurping it “Yes, I am” I replied.“We are leaving tomorrow,” He notified me while I nodded.“How does it feel leaving your sister behind in a new place?” I asked while a flicker of emotion flashed through his eyes.“She has her own family now, it was bound to happen” He replied while I nodded.My eyes wandered towards Emery “I am going to miss her” “Yeah, me too,” He said.*********As the party drew to a close, I
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
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
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
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
