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
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
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 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,
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
SeleneRated 18!!!I found myself in a place filled with vibrant flowers, I sat down lost in the beauty when a soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts “Ohh dear, you are here” I turned in the direction of the voice.A figure stood behind me but I couldn't see the face “Who are you?” I asked, squinting my eyes to get a better view.“Your Mother,” She said, her voice soothing and familiar. I frowned, confusion etched on my face “My mother?, my mother is dead,” I said, sadness resonating on my face.“True, I’m sorry we left you at a very young age but you are destined for greatness” She voiced, her voice filled with concern.I clenched my teeth “If destined for greatness means suffering then I do not want it. All my life has been since I can recall is misery” I yelled, my voice trembling.“And now I possess a power which is more like a curse, I want to be able to live freely” I spat, my eyes brewing with tears.“I understand your grievance, but everything will soon be clear. You’d get
SeleneAfter I exited Alpha Damian’s office, I headed outside for a breath of fresh air when I saw three pups laughing at another pup who was on the floor bleeding.My heart sank as I ran towards them “You should help him not laugh at him” I chided them, scooting closer to the injured pup.“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice trembling with concern. I knelt beside him scanning his wounds, they were bleeding and he was wailing profusely.I stared around looking for a sharp object, and immediately I found one, I slit my wrist with it “Selene don't” Lyra warned but I ignored her letting my blood drop on his injury.His wailing intensified and he lost consciousness, I panicked trying to wake him up but he didn't budge. “What did you do to him?” A stern voice demanded from behind me, my heart stilled as I turned to the owner of the voice The woman glared at me, her eyes blazing with suspicion “I didn't do anything" I protested, my voice shaking “ I was only trying to help” I said, but she lo
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
