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
SeleneWho knew that training to be a reputable woman for the Alpha was much of a hassle, I could feel my back aching and my legs throbbing from it.“I have never seen Olivia with such quality,” I thought.The lady assigned to train me took the work more seriously than I had imagined.“You are indeed a true leader” The words from her kept me pondering as I sprawled lifelessly on the bed.“What does she mean by that?” I mumbled, I have a very faint memory of my childhood days, and although I have wanted to know about my past, the fear of what I will discover kept hindering me.“What are you thinking about?” I abruptly sat up when I heard his voice.“Alpha, I didn't hear you come in” I bowed as he settled beside me.“How is the training going?” He asked, scanning me.“More like a death sentence, my whole body aches” I whined while he chuckled.“Freshen up and meet me downstairs in 10 minutes” He stood up walking towards the door while I looked perplexed.“Ughhh” I dragged my hair feelin
Selene“Keep it low, someone is tailing you” I heard the Alpha’s voice, ease written all over my phase as he released me.“Come with me” He dragged me till we got to the end of the hallway.“I am sorry, I didn't know it was you” I breathed out, gazing at him.“It's fine, welcome to our pack” He leaned to my level placing a lingering kiss on my lips.He placed his lips on my ear “Don’t get too close to my cousin, I hate to see it” He strengthened himself.“Go join the celebration” He walked off immediately while I stood trying to process his words.I stood there for how long till I heard Emery calling out to me “I have been looking everywhere for you” “Yeah, sorry I wandered off” I answered facing her as she passed me a glass of drink dragging me to where the celebration was taking place.**************Tomorrow I would confront Imogen, my bestfriend who had shattered my trust. The betrayal still lingered, a wound that has refused to heal. Now I am going to get my answers, although th
SeleneWith a thrill of victory jolting through my veins, I strolled into the room I shared with the Alpha, my footsteps echoing with the satisfaction of winning over my ex-best friend, my heart swelling with pride.The Alpha’s eyes met with mine and I could sense a hint of curiosity “I was worried about you, hope she didn't hurt you?” He asked the moment I walked in.“No, I am fine although she tried. I was ready for her and I had nothing to lose” I smiled, settling on the bed.“With the way you are smiling, it is very obvious you beat her to her own game” He chuckled, settling beside me.“You need to see the look on her face when I was leaving” I squealed, clasping my hands.I have never felt the feeling of satisfaction in a while and It felt like I was floating against all odds.“I am glad that you finally got the closure you wanted” Alpha gave a hearty smile.“I am thankful to you for the opportunity, it wouldn't have been possible if you didn't grant me this opportunity” I smiled
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
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
