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
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
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
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,
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,
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
