The music began to play as everyone paired themselves up in two, walking to the stage to dance. Now that Selene was here, she could feel the same energy she felt back then, the first time she was in the palace. But now her parents weren't here, nor were her sisters. She could see Isabella sitting at the high table with the king beside her. Though he was far from her, Selene could see him staring at her among the crowd. Aron turned to face Selene. He had made it clear to Rayne that he loved the human and wouldn't stop chasing her even if he sent him away from the palace. Aron's eyes twitched when he saw her in that beautiful dress, which clung to her body like flesh. He couldn't hold himself as he bowed his head, facing her, with his hand stretched out. “May I have this dance, milady?” Aron asked. Selene placed her hands on Aron's hand. Aron placed his hands on Selene's waist and pulled her closer to him. However, she couldn't feel the spark, and it seemed as if her body o
“Lady Selene…” Aron called again, but Selene's face was clouded with desires. “Rayne, please, please. Take the pain way." She moaned as she tried to move closer to him. Aron could see now that there was something wrong with Selene. Selene tried to pull her legs closer, and when the dress settled at her core, she clapped her thighs together. “Ahh” She moaned in pleasure and continued the process once more. “Mmm” And that was when Aron lost it all. He could smell her arousal, and now she knew what was wrong. With one swift moment, he cradles her into his arms, walking towards her room. All the while she was carrying her, she didn't stop mumbling, and Aron could hear them all. “Rayne, please. Take the pain away. I'm...” Selene stuttered.“I'm hot..." she mumbled; her hands clutched to his shirt. “If I survive this...” Aron curses and the rest of his words are swallowed when he pushes the door, dropping her on the bed. Aron, after putting Selene on the bed, tried to make his wa
“You will pay for this too. I will break you into pieces for getting aroused and trying to make love to my cousin in the room I gave you,” Rayne explained. He wouldn't have come here if he hadn't noticed Aron following Selene out of the hall. “You are wet for a man you met a few days ago. Then watch me ravish your body until you beg me to stop,” Rayne taunts her, walking towards her. Selene couldn't utter anything; at least she was coming back to earth, and the burn was not that severe. But it dawned on her that the man she kissed wasn't Rayne, but his brother. “My king," she breathed the word out, her mind still fuzzy. Rayne walked briskly towards the door in his long strides before stopping at the door. “You should prepare yourself, Selene." He said, walking out of the room, his voice etched with anger. “She must not leave this room.” Rayne gave his order to the two guards standing outside the door. “Yes, Your Highness.” Selene undressed herself as soon as the door was shut.
Rayne didn't stop as he tore the dress off her body, leaving her naked in the room. Isabella's chest heaved when she saw Rayne maintaining his calm demeanor despite his aggressive actions. Isabella still loved this, and Rayne bent her towards the table. Isabella licked her lips, waiting for him to plunge into her. To fill her to the brim. However, when Harold communicates with Rayne through mind-linking, He kisses Isabella on the back, surprising her, and she looks behind her. “I have to go,” Rayne said, walking away from her. He wore a new shirt and put the gat on his head. “You tore my dress,” Isabella said, pouting her lips. “Get a new one,” he said, smirking at her before jumping out of the window. Isabella smiled sheepishly, alone in the room. She wore Rayne's shirt before leaving the room. Now that Rayne will be gone for two days, Isabella's hands twitched because of the information she has received. She needed to go back to the party. “I need to enjoy my day to the full
A subtle cry emanates from the forest. The five men get down from the horse, their senses at alert as they approach the forest. Their boots make the dry leaves on the ground rustle. Rayne led the way while Harold and the rest draw out their claws, their eyes emanating a glow that scans the forest for any predator. The moment they got to the place, a woman lay lying on the ground with her head bashed in, her eyes wide even in death. “We are late!” Andrew cursed out, his dark eyes scanning the forest. Rayne crouched on the floor and touched the ground with his hand, smelling it. He rose from the ground, his hand pointing to one part of the forest. “He is nearby, and he is watching us. They aren't one or two. They are up two seven,” Rayne points out, trying to adjust his posture as his eyes turn golden. He could hear the breathing of more people, apart from the four werewolves behind him. Rayne sensed the creature was with them, alive and breathing. In a swift move h, he turned an
“You caught on quick,” Dennis said, surprising everyone as he let out a sadistic smile. His upper lip was pulled up to form a smirk. His eyes were void of emotion, and the pack members could see the color of his skin changing. “How did you know?” Dennis asked. His eyes turned menacing, and Andrew was shocked to see this. He was just with Dennis just now, so how could this person not be him? “Did you recognize my smell?” Dennis asked again, wiping the blood off the corner of his lips. “You talk too much for a creature.” Rayne tsks in distaste; his eyes are already becoming bored. The creature with a replica of Dennis sneered because of this, and he got angry, with his eyes changing color to a silver one. “Where did you keep them?" Rayne asked Dennis, and the other two, Harold and Mateo, were surprised, but their senses remained alert. Their claws were bared out to fight with the creature, and if more should come, they were ready to kill them all. “And you think I would tell you?
Rayne walked towards the shabby house in the forest. He had been searching for Andrew for some time now, and yet he couldn't see him.Rayne has already figured out that the forest has already changed its form. The conclusion he drew was that this person could use the illusion powers.If he had inhaled the scent back then, he would be lost in this orchestrator game too, and right now. He needed to find a way right now, or it would be too late to rescue his men.Rayne pushed the door of the shabby house open. He had thought he would meet nothing but bones, but instead, he saw two women breastfeeding their babies. They were both shocked when they saw Rayne walk in, making them cover their breasts before rising from the stool they sat on.“Please help us. Someone took us here. My child is sick,” one of the women said on her knees. Rayne covered his nostrils because of the pungent smell in the room.“Please help us. He will kill us. He takes almost everyone's face and form,” the second woma
“Who is the maid?” Isabella asked again, her eyes not giving away any emotions that might complicate her. But internally, she was happy.Selene had wondered why Penelope was not yet back, but maybe it was for the better. Her suspicion is only pointing to one person, and it's the new maid.Regardless, Selene decided to tell the truth. At least if she was going to be dead, then it would be better if she died knowing fully well that she wasn't guilty."Lilith,” Selene managed to say, rubbing her sweaty palms together.The head maid standing beside the Queen, who has been watching the event unfold in front of her, nods her head before leaving the room.“If she is not the one, then I will assure you that your punishment will be more severe, lady Selene,” Isabella said before standing from the bed. She was delighted that she was able to slap the woman on the cheek.Selene had to be on her toes since she was brought into the palace. Knowing that the king had bedded her in the library, she wa
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 mo
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
