Rayne was left with no choice right now since the physicians were already attending to her, yet there was no sign of her waking up.
Drake walked closer to the woman; he placed his hand gently on his wrist, holding it. Drake closes his eyes to see if he can see what has gone wrong with her.“Drake, what is wrong? Were you not able to see anything?” Rayne asked in a worried tone. Drake releases Selene's hand, shaking his head before turning to look at the King.“I couldn't see anything about her. This is my first time seeing something like this since my years of existence,” Drake confessed, his brows furrowed with confusion.He was confused because this had never happened, and with this, he wondered who she was. Though she hadn't seen the king's true Luna, this woman here was giving him some weird kind of energy that he had never come across before.“Are you saying she will not wake up, or are your powers deteriorating?” Rayne tauntedPenelope noticed the subtle change in Selene's mood. She could see she was even more different from the way she was yesterday. Selene walked to the oval mirror on the wall of her room. The smell of lavender lingered in the room because of the scent in the water she used to bathe in. “Can you tell me more about Eve?" Selene said, her voice breaking the silence in the room. She made her dress properly, staring at her reflection in the mirror. She still remembered the dream she had vividly, but she didn't know what to make of it. The girl with her same replica but with golden eyes. “Milady, I have known Eve for a while. We are close, and she does tell me about her little sister and her grandma. She told me she was working hard because of them," Penelope explained as she crossed her hands against each other. Sadness marries her face as she breathes in and out. “Did you know where these relatives are living?" Selene asked, her heart achin
Rayne, after attending to court matters in the courtroom, went back to his chambers. Instead of going to his room, he strolled to Isabella's room. Despite trying hard not to think about Selene, he couldn't bring himself to not think about the girl. He couldn't forget her dark eyes, which looked at him with hatred. If he had known that Selene was too emotional, he would have tried to look into the matter, but he didn't even know he would have to pity her like this. "Rayne,” Isabella slurred as she walked to the center of the room to meet Rayne halfway. But when she saw the stern look of Rayne, she stopped in front of him, inquiring. “What is wrong?” “Why did you kill the maid, Isabella?” Rayne asked in a clipped voice. He was still angry at the fact that Selene could break down like that in front of him. Isabella laughed nervously before wrapping her arms under her bosom. "She poured hot tea on me,” Isabella said with a satisfying expression on her face. “And that is why I'm su
The villagers let out a scream when they saw a woman lifeless on the ground with her soul sucked out of her, her eyes carved out of her eye socket, and the flies wallowing in the crook of her eye. It was already morning in Eldoria. A woman had come to deliver wood to the woman, leaving her alone here with her baby. However, just before she could go into the room, the woman's body was found on the ground. The woman, on seeing the corpse, let out a scream, and the villagers rushed out to see what was wrong. “I saw her last night." “She was the only one living with her husband. I heard she had no husband." “Who could have done that?" “Are we not safe again in the town?" Murmurs and a series of whispers filled the ground, and the police bureau came to take the woman's corpse off the ground. “Did anyone see her child?" One of the policemen asked the villagers, and they all shook their heads in denial that they had not seen the baby. “Did you think the culprit took the child too?" An
“How dare you touch what is mine?" Rayne rephrased his question, walking towards them in his long strides. Aron turned towards him to refute his claim when a punch suddenly landed in Aron's face, and Selene covered her mouth in shock as she gasped. “I warned you not to touch what is mine, Aron." He said again, ready to punch him as his insides boiled in anger. But he stopped himself. He looked at Selene in the cream dress. He had noticed most of Selene's dresses always exposed her cleavage because they were too tight; maybe it was high time to get her a new set of dresses. Rayne looked at Selene calmly. She looked like a kitten right now as she stared at him. He didn't mean to scare her, but he didn't even know when the words blurted out on his lips. He clicked his tongue, and Aron rubbed his jaw. “What is that for? I saw a leaf on her shoulder and was trying to take it away.” Aron tried explaining his cause of action towards Selene, but deep down, he knew that was not true. Rayne
Selene sat down in her room, pacing around. She stares at her reflection in the room. She was in pain because of what Rayne said today, and she wished in her mind that it wasn't true. “I hate you,” she muttered under her breath. Her eyes are becoming teary, but she is not going to cry, not now. “Not again, Selene." "It's time for you to wake up from your fantasy dream," she said, but she wasn't sure if she would have confidence in doing that. To wake up from her deep slumber. “I will make him want me,” she said aloud to herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had always received praise from her mother and father in the past, and she knew she was a beautiful woman many men couldn’t refuse. If not for her weak state, she might not be here right now. ___ “Papa, what if the mate bond wasn't involved? Would you still love Mother? Selene asked her father under the tree in front of their house. At this time, she was around eighteen years old. “I already loved your mot
“Are you looking for this?” he asked with a smirk, his eyes full of excitement as he stared at Selene. Selene's face flushed when he held the book in his hand, showing the cover to her. She had promised herself not to be intimidated by him. He clearly said he doesn't love her and doesn't care about her. “Thank you. I was looking for it,” she said, her voice clipped, taking the book from his hold. She turned her back towards him and made her way out of the library when Rayne suddenly tried to catch her hand, but instead of his hands touching hers, it drew the cloak she wore back, and the cloak fell off her head and shoulder. Her hair sprawled out as the cloak settled down to the pool at the back of her feet. She turned abruptly, in shock, to face him. “What is that for?” she asked, the tone of her voice distant and cold. The beating of the rain and the coldness of the library with this alluring woman in front of him disrupt his senses. Rayne's mouth parted in shock, and he wondere
“What are you talking about?" Rayne asked, looking at Selene with hunger in his eyes.Selene ignored his question and dressed properly as she got down from the table. Her body was still flushed pink, and her lips felt swollen from the kiss. “I'm thanking you for making me feel this way, so you should stop,” Selene said, walking past him to take the cloak and the book she dropped in shock. Rayne was still confused and stunned by her statement, but he was not a fool to not know what Selene meant. It means she is claiming that she does not feel anything for him, but Rayne is convinced that could not be true. He had seen the way her body responded to him to his touch, and he could still smell her wetness and arousal. “I would like to take my leave,” Selene said, trying her best to not show Rayne that his touch affected her. Rayne was even more handsome under the orange glow of the candle which illuminated the library. “Remember what he did,” she said to herself, but Rayne wasn't havi
“What is so special about her, Rayne?” she asked herself as she lay on her stomach. She was supposed to be pregnant right now since they always do it when she is about to ovulate, but it seems luck isn't on her side. “If only I could just get pregnant, then all would be fine,” she said, rubbing her flat stomach as she stared at the wooden ceiling. “Why her?” However, she was happy someone else was showing interest in Selene. At least she knew where to direct her focus when the time came. She knew if the girl was gone, then Rayne would surely come to her, giving her his full attention. *** Rayne, upon seeing the corpse of the woman, confirms that it was indeed the work of this creature he read about. But who would have awakened this kind of creature, and for what reason would it start killing just a few weeks ago, unless someone is controlling it, of course? His men stand beside him as they observe the corpse. “There was no sign of struggling,” Harold points out, checking the

In the land of Blue Stone, the snowflakes descend from above. The air is quiet, and a peaceful calm covers the land. Each snowflake pirouettes gracefully before settling on the ground, transforming the world into a pristine white canvas. The trees, adorned with a glistening layer of snow, stand in quiet reverence. The muffled sound of footsteps and the occasional laughter of children playing in the snow create a harmonious melody, punctuating the tranquil winter scene. People selling in the market, hurry to find shelter, fearing that the heavy snow might damage their goods. Amidst the chaos in the market, deep in the forest, a silhouette was seen moving briskly among the trees. The tall trees couldn't shield him from the heavy snowflakes; his hands trembled, and the cloak he wore couldn't protect him from the harsh weather. He continued to walk in the woods and felt relief when he noticed the tower ahead. However, he still needed to walk more before reaching his destination. He glance
The rain stopped, and the raindrops made the ground shiny. The soil became wet and fertile under the soft light of the moon. The trees in the forest, which had survived the storm, swayed gracefully in the gentle breeze, dancing together. After the rainclouds went away, the thick forest, once covered in darkness from the rain, was now dark again. The black colors blended with the shapes of the tall trees. In this dark scene, a quiet feeling filled the forest, interrupted only by the spooky sound of an owl hooting, like a musician playing a song in the silent night. Rayne, unfazed by the profound darkness that enveloped the night, continued his journey, and as he trod along, his once obscure, dark eyes began to emit an uncanny golden glow. His every sense was heightened as he tried smelling that sweet scent of his fated mate Selene. He pondered whether the unexpected message he got from Drake was a result of Selene's safety. He needed to protect her by his side but the woman was jus
Rayne jumped into the room through the window. There were traces of blood on the floor and some were also splattered on the wall. He couldn't believe his guess was right. Rayne found out about the red moon because of the report he got from Harold through the letter. He realized there was someone in Bluestone Kingdom who probably came back to this remote village for an ulterior motive. He already found out Margaret was one of them and he already sent word to the Duke of the village. Though Rayne didn't mention Margaret, he specifies that there is going to be a ritual under the red moon and Selene is the sacrifice. "She was murdered," someone said behind Rayne. It was Logan. He looked at Rayne strangely because he hadn't seen him before but he realized he was stronger and more powerful. He walked inside and touched the blood on the floor. He already found the girl murdered here at the back of the shabby house. Logan sat on the sofa opposite Rayne with a table separating them
His other hand went to her nipple and he used his hand to play with it. His wolf was restless; he wanted to mark their mate but Marcus knew he had to be gentle with Eve. Eve loosened up as she began to whisper some incoherent words. Her moans were the only thing that echoed in the walls of the room. She could feel something building up inside her to settle in between her legs. This feeling was known to her but there was nothing she could do to quench the burning fire. Logan stopped sucking her breast and he knew air towards it. Eve moans as her nipples become erect. She ground her hips onto Marcus' lap, trying to get some friction but she was far from being satisfied. Marcus changed their position and this time, Eve's back was pressed into the bed. In an instant, Marcus shredded the dresses apart and tossed them to the floor, which made Eve scared for a second. He leaned forward and moved into her neck and kissed it, at the same spot where the mating mark is done, he sucked on i
The pack members were already sitting in their various seats. Azalea and Selene didn't talk much after what happened back in the room. Eve and Marcus wore a matching dress as they stood under the altar while Sir Logan, the Duke of Starlight Fall Village, performed the mating ritual. Logan needed to hurry because there would be a red moon soon. "Now it's time for the mate vows!" Logan's voice resounded in the hall as he imprinted a mark on their hands and held it together. “By the light of the full moon, I claim you as mine," Marcus began. “You are my mate, my partner, and my forever bond; I accept you as my own, now and forever. Together we shall run, under the glow of the full moon each season, with our hearts beating as one, our souls forever tied. I promise to love and protect you through all of life's phases as my destiny, my fate, and my mate; I seal our bond, forever and always." “In the eyes of the pack, we are one, united, and strong. By the power of the wolf, our love sh
Chapter 102 “Milady," Selene said with a beautiful smile on her lips. Margaret came with a young lady who Selene hadn't seen before. “I thought you were talking with someone, Lady Selene," Margaret said while the lady beside Margaret greeted Selene. “No. I was talking to myself," Selene said and ushered them in. The two came inside and sat on the sofa. “I heard from Logan that you will be coming alongside the men to guard the village," Margaret said and Selene nodded her head in agreement because it was true. “I wanted to go along with Logan because they might need my help," Selene said with a slight smile. She settled down on the chair. She wondered why Rayne went into hiding. She knew he would be eavesdropping on their conversation now. “Are you sure everything is okay?" Margaret asked, seeing the hickey on Selene's neck, which she failed to cover up with her dress because she was unaware. ”Yes, is something wrong?" Selene asked with confusion marred her face. “I didn't kn
Selene closed her in pure ecstasy and her lips trembled as she tried hard not to moan. Her back ached and her fingernails were dug inside the bed even after so many months.He brought out that feminine side in her and she was annoyed by it.There was a knock at the door but Rayne didn't give her way to reply who the person was. She was scared that if she parted her lips, she was going to moan. Her bedroom was not far from the parlor and the bedroom door was left open so she could hear the knock.Logan was the one standing at the door. He had come to the theatre house to see Selene act when he realized he didn't continue the play. He waited till the play came to an end and that was when he found Eve. It was Eve who told him Selene left early.Rayne moved his head away from Selene and taunted her with sarcasm.“Won't you answer him, I think it is your man," Rayne said, he emphasized the word man and Selene turned red. “Who is there" She said and tried to get free but Rayne held her in
“You got your wolf," Rayne said and pushed Selene to the wall. Her back hit the wall with a gentle thud but she was far from being done.She parted her lips and began to whisper but before she could complete the chant, Rayne caught her other hand.He couldn't believe Selene had the blood of a witch in her.“How could you?" Selene spat defiantly with disgust, trying hard not to cry. If there was anyone that loved her in the whole world, it was her mother. She wouldn't hesitate to kill Rayne herself even if it's going to take every last of her breath.“Who are you talking about?" Rayne inquired with his head tilted to the side. “There was a mosquito humming at the back of my head just now which I had to kill without even moving my fingers," Rayne replied in a playful tone which left Selene flabbergasted.“Oh and I like that fiesty look on you," Rayne said but Selene wished she could slap him across the face.“Then let me go?" Selene said but Rayne only Pinned her hand to the wall with
