Selene’s gaze becomes blurry as tears threaten to fall from her eyes. She needed to escape because this was her only chance, but how? Selene tried to wiggle out of his hold, but the guard hit her with the baton in his hand as hard as he could. A silent cry erupted from the back of her throat. Her palms were sweaty, and tears came streaming down her face, glistening her cheeks in the almost dark room. “I will make you pay for doing this. You this slut." The guard added as he pulled her back towards his. Selene's back hits his hard rock chest. The guard didn't release her hair, and he licked his lips, feeling aroused. It was against the protocol of the palace for a guard to make out with a criminal, but his entire being shook at the mere sight of this girl in front of him. “Since she won't be dying anytime soon, why not take her now?" A voice spoke in his head. Selene didn't stop crying as she pleaded with the guard to release her. "Please,” she begged, her voice bre
Selene ran towards the woods as soon as she got out of the tunnel. She decided not to go through the city or town for fear that she would be caught in no time. She continued to run in the woods. Her bare foot crushed the dry leaves on the ground. She held her nightgown in her hand to protect herself from tripping over the gown. She was exhausted, but she needed to keep going. She looked behind her to see that she couldn't even see the palace walls again. Finally, she is escaping from the hellhole. The full moon was already in view, and this was the moment the werewolves feared because it affected their wolf abilities and made them weak, reducing them to humans. Selene stopped suddenly when she felt pain surge through her body, from her head to her toes. Though she was slapped and whipped by the guards in the morning, the pain she felt right now was worse than getting beaten. For the first time since her existence, she felt a sudden pain in her back and spine. Her leg trippe
“Milord” One of the guards walked towards Harold and ignored Rayne since he was dressed in a commoner cloth and not many people could recognize the king except his closest ally. “We need five horses that are well-fed and strong,” Harold explained to the guards. He threw a pouch full of gold coins to the guard. The guard caught the pouch in time and bowed his head deeply. “I will bring them to you now, milord." The guard replied, his eyes lit up in joy at the huge amount of gold coins given to him. The guard left them to prepare the five horses. Some minutes later, he came back with five healthy horses and handed them to Harold and the men next to him. The guard bowed his head before leaving them to stand back in his position. “Your Highness,” Harold said, showing Rayne the horse. Rayne mounts the black horse while his men, including Dennis, mount the other four horses. “Hei” They nudge the horse by the side, and the horse neighs and begins to gallop through the sandy ground. The
Isabella's gaze mellowed as she looked at Rayne in the room. His gaze turned hard with every second. “Lady Selene. She stole my jewelry from my chambers and escaped.” Isabella shrieked as fake tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Rayne chuckled when he heard this. His eyes turned malicious as he stared at Isabella in the room. “What do you mean she escapes? Are you toying with me?” Rayne asked, walking deeper into the room to stand in front of Isabella. “No, my king,” Isabella said calmly and continued. “I had to reprimand her maid and place her in the dungeon. I don't know how she got to escape from the palace.” The maid on the floor cowered in fear as she held her hand tight. Her heart continues to beat in her chest. “She escapes from the palace after stealing jewelry. Where are the guards positioned to monitor her?” Rayne asked, his voice etched with anger. “I threw them in the dungeon, my king. I didn't know Lady Selene was like this. She is a thief,” Isabella laments
When Selene fluttered her eyelid open, it was already morning. She squinted her eyes tightly because of the sudden light that came in through the window. Selene was shocked to find herself in an unfamiliar room with only a long black robe covering her body. Her head was blank as she tried to recall what happened. Selene took in some deep breaths with her parted lips, and the memories came rushing to her. “I'm no longer in the woods,” she whispered, her heart beating even as she moved her body towards the edge of the bed. Last night, she thought she was going to die from the transformation in the woods, and she vividly remembers how her body reacted. Selene was glad this was not the palace walls and was happy to have successfully left the palace without getting caught or dying in the woods in her wolf form. “But where am I?” She asked no one in particular, as she was alone in the room. The floor of the room was made of wood, and the ceiling was made of wood. She could inhale
“This is a new beginning for us, Olivia. I will forever be grateful to him for what he has done. He saved me,” Selene said, smiling wide with her perfect white set of teeth displayed when she saw the children waving at her. “What about our mate, Selene? He will be mad if he doesn't see you.” “You don't know Rayne; he doesn't care about me, Olivia. Did you even know what he did?” Selene asked as she wrapped her hands under her bosom. The breeze ruffled her hair. “You have to forgive him. He is your mate.” “I can't even feel the bond; what if he is just mad?” Selene confessed.Olivia was about to prove Selene wrong when a knock at the door interrupted them. A young lady came in with some fresh clothes in her hand. The woman bows slightly before giving the clothes to Selene. “Logan asked me to bring these clothes to you. My name is Eve.” “Thank you,” Selene said, taking the clothes from the young lady. “I'm Selene” “Alright, everyone wants to meet you, Selene.” “If you want t
Selene was sure the king wouldn't look for her since he had already found the woman he loved. “This is a small village located outside of the three neighboring kingdoms.” Logan declares for Selene to hear. “We are survivors of slavery and had to settle in the middle of nowhere just to take care of ourselves. I'm the head of this village; my name is Logan Whitmore.” Logan explained and stood straight. “We major in medicine, herb brewing, and silk making. We have an actress among us who acts in theater rooms in two kingdoms, Eldoria and Eldora. If you need a stable job, you will surely find one here.” Logan added. Selene's eyes piqued with interest when she heard this, but Eldoria? She is not planning to go back to that kingdom after what happened. Now that she is far away from him, she couldn't be happier. “Azalea and Eve will take you around the village. Welcome to Starlight Falls Village, Selene. Enjoy the rest of your day, Selene.” Logan added, making his way towards the st
“Selene, do you like the way things are done here?” Eve asked Selene. Eve is already in love with Selene's personality, and she wouldn't hesitate to be her friend. “I love it, Eve. I love the way things are done here.” Selene answered, her voice laced with curiosity as she stared at the field across her. It looks exactly like the training ground field back in the palace. “I'm glad you like it,” Eve said with enthusiasm. Azalea followed Selene's line of vision and walked closer to her. “That is the training ground for both men and women in this village. We are all trained to be strong and independent.” Azalea lectures Selene, breaking Selene from her thoughts. Selene's eyebrows raised in awe when she heard this. “Can I join too?” Selene asked, her voice laced with eagerness. “Everyone is allowed, Selene,” Eve chirped in, answering before Azalea could answer. “Okay,” “I will be getting prepared for tomorrow's acting in the famous theater house in Eldora. I'm the supporting
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
