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 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
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
Damian“You can reconsider your commands” Adrain suggested while I gazed out the window watching Selene do her job.“That won't tell well on me, an Alpha doesn't go back on their words” I replied my gaze still lingering on her.I made a promise that Selene would become a slave if she was without an heir and I was keen on seeing it go through despite the disappointment and hurt I felt.After the dining escapade with Selene, I retreated into my room to cool off but my slumber was short-lived.A faint cry for help echoed through my room tugging me awake.My senses were high on alert, calling me towards the west wings, I tried to ignore it but my wolf was getting more agitated and uncomfortable.I headed towards the slave chambers, my ear on alert, I found two figures. My vision squinted further until I noticed it was Selene and one of the guards in a compromising position.“How cheap” I spat and attempted to head back to my room when her scent wafted through my nose. I was taken aback,
Selene“First day being a slave and you are creating a scene already” I heard his rough voice closely behind me.“You seem to enjoy making a grand entry every time, Guards you know what to do with her” He instructed and I was hauled immediately by two muscular men.“This should serve as a lesson to all of you, no one defies my order” He echoed.The torture I received in the past was nothing compared to what I received today. I could feel my body giving away as I cleaned the huge hallway of the Alpha’s residence.I was brutally flogged by the guards for disobeying orders while the Alpha stood there enjoying the show after which I was subjected to hard labor.It's a surprise that most of my wounds were already healed.Exhaling, I sat on the clean floor catching my breath. “Here” I heard a female voice as I trailed my head to its owner.Emery was staring at me with a tray of food, my stomach rumbled loudly reminding me of my hunger “You would faint if you don't eat anything” She pushed t
Selene“Have we met before?” He asked, pinning his pierced gaze on me.I watched Emery walk past us while I muffled a curse “I am not sure. If you would excuse me” I scampered away before he could respond. “Emery,” I called out, holding onto her shoulders as we got closer to her room.“I have been calling you, what is wrong?” I breathed out, before facing her.“Are you going to pretend like you don't know?” She asked, peeling my hands away from her shoulder.I protested “It's not what you think” waving my hands hurriedly.She folded her hands and tilted her head to the side “Enlighten me on what you think it is” She flared.“I swear, if I could avoid having a conversation with him you know I would have done that.” I spat hurriedly.“I am finding it hard to believe you are not cunning, you purposely came to the dining room late to gather attention right?, you have been playing the pity card to get everyone to pity you but deep inside you are not a good person” Her eyes blazed with int
SeleneI stumbled through the hallway, Emery grabbed my arm, saving me from a face-plant into the wall. "Girl, watch where you're going!" she laughed. I rubbed my tired eyes, still trying to shake off the exhaustion. "Sorry, I wasn't looking," I admitted, yawning.Emery scrutinized my face, her brow furrowed with concern. "You look like you've been through a war. What's going on?" I hesitated, unsure if I should share my worries with her. But something about her kind expression put me at ease. "Let's just say I didn't get much sleep," I hinted, trying to brush it off.We walked into the dining room, and my eyes landed on Olivia, who was practically sitting on the Alpha's lap. I rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of annoyance. "The full moon is coming, hopefully, you'll be pregnant by then," Olivia said, her voice dripping with sweetness. I forced a smile, trying to hide my unease. "Hopefully," I echoed, glancing at the Alpha, who seemed oblivious to the tension.But as I looked at him, m
SeleneI squinted my eyes, adjusting them to the sunlight. The flashes of last night played in my memory, I closed my legs tightly to get rid of the sensation that still lingered in between my legs.“For a second, I thought you would never wake up” I heard his hoarse voice making me snap fully awake, my heart skipping a bit.“Good morning Alpha” My voice was inaudible as I pinched my throat from the discomfort.“Afternoon, Good afternoon Selene” His voice thick as his gaze lingered on me for a while before I became self-conscious of my nudity.Grabbing the duvet and covering myself with it, I heard him say “Go on, freshen up before eating” He pointed at the tray of food in the center of his room.I grabbed the duvet and got off the bed. I attempted to move but my butt landed on the floor from my leg feeling jelly “Are you okay?” His voice was laced with concern as my face flushed with embarrassment.“Let me help you” He offered, lifting me and heading to the bathroom. After much strug
Selene I chose to forget about the encounter on the battlefield because no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get a grasp of it.“You’ve been out for three days, I was worried” Emery gripped my hands, her brows creased with a frown.“Three days is a long time, but thanks to the moon goddess I am finally on my feet” I smiled.“Meet me in my office now” I heard his raspy voice in my mind as I groaned internally.I walked in on Adrain who passed me a brief smile before leaving “Seat” His shrill voice resonated while I succumbed to his request.“I haven't forgotten about your punishment, you know that?” He held my gaze while I flinched from the tone of his baritone voice.“I promise to obey orders, please spare me this one time” I shut my eyes while pleading.I opened my eyes to see him leaning to my level “Today is an even day. You seem to have forgotten your purpose of being here, don't keep me waiting” He spat coldly while I let out a low whimper, shifting uncontrollably like they
DamianI glanced at Selene “Why isn't she waking up?” I asked the pack doctor who just shook his head.“Nothing seems to be wrong with her. She probably needs some rest.” He suggested Selene had been unconscious for a couple of hours and I was worried it might be something serious.“Emery, you stay here and watch out for any changes” I instructed stepping out of her room.********“Do you think this is associated with the battlefield incident?” Adrain asked while I furrowed my eyebrows.“Do you think that your wound healing quickly has anything to do with her?” I shot him a quizzical look while he shrugged.“I am just saying, there could be a possibility. She came in contact with my wound and it healed immediately” He struggled to prove a point.“Then she heals you and she goes unconscious. That doesn't make any sense” I creased my brows leaning back in my seat.I am trying not to believe that whatever led to Adrain’s wound healing immediately has to do with Selene but the fact that s
Selene“What do you mean by that?” I scrunched my brows while he smirked.“You need to fight not talk” Lyra screamed before transforming without my permission.He transformed too as we fought, I got a few bruises before I mastered his tactics and in no time he was lying lifeless on the ground.“Bloody rogue” Lyra cussed before transforming back to our human form.With my clothes torn I managed to tie the remains of it around my body before heading to the other side.It seemed the battle was over before I got there because they were clearing up the bodies.“Selene?” Lucien called out while the Alpha, Adrain, and I guess the head of the warrior turned to my direction.“I told you not to come here, you are bleeding” He looked pissed.I stared down at my hand “It's nothing” I chuckled before we all heard groaning and a thud.I stared in horror as Adrain fell to the floor bleeding, the chief warrior quickly attacked the rogue before killing him.I sprinted towards Adrain who was losing con
