Eugene was about to instruct the workers to park the instrument since they were done when he saw Azalea and Eve walking toward him.”Sir Eugene," Azalea said with a smile on her face. "Hey Azalea, it seems like you want to see me," Eugene said and quickly whispered to one of the men's ears. The man nodded his head and a few seconds later, everyone left the room for them alone.“We came here to see you, Sir Eugene because a friend of ours would like to join the drama acting group," Azalea said, the words rolling out of her tongue sweetly. “Okay, can I see her?" Eugene asked and Selene stepped out behind Azalea. “We brought her here with us and she even watched the drama just now," Eve quickly added.Eugene's eyes trailed down Selene's body and frame. He admired her beauty and body. Eugene was sure she hadn't seen this beauty in this village since he had been here. Maybe she is new after all.Eugene cleared his throat, trying to tame his beastly side.“She is fit and okay. What is yo
Rayne combed his hair softly and wore his clothes after getting a series of reports of parchment from both the scholar and ministers. He has not gotten over Selene yet and no matter how much he tried to tame his wolf, he wanted to go berserk and tear the world down just to find Selene, his fated mate. Rayne wore the robe and made his way out of the room but Harold was already waiting for him outside. “Fill me in on the information," Rayne said coldly and Harold didn't fail to notice the way Rayne's muscles were tense. Being the Beta of Rayne, he could share some of his pain because he was marked by Rayne. Harold parted his lips and began to speak. “There haven't been any recent killings but the people are demanding their safety because of the people murdered. They are threatening to leave the kingdom for their safety." “Anything else?" Rayne asked as he trailed forward and climbed the throne while the elders and ministers waited for him. “The elders are pressuring you about
Isabella was busy getting ready to meet some of the merchants at the market when she heard the news about Rayne going to the courtroom.Isabella hurriedly got dressed and went to the courtroom. Rayne has been avoiding her after the intense lovemaking they had which bruised her. But today, she wouldn't hesitate to hug him when she saw him.However, when she got to the courtroom, the ministers had already left, including Rayne. She was about to give up when she saw Rayne walking towards the tower with Harold.She raised her skirt and ran towards them. The moment she saw Rayne about to leave, she jumped into his arms before he could stop her."Rayne," Isabella murmured as she wrapped her arms around Rayne's neck, hugging him tight.Rayne breathed in Isabella's scent but she didn't smell like Selene in any way. He didn't know he suddenly grew hatred for Isabella. Even his wolf felt the same.Isabella disengaged from the hug when she saw Rayne didn't return the hug. She gave Harold a look
As soon as Rayne got to his room, he threw everything on the table away in a rage. The color of his eyes flickered between brown and gold. His wolf was eager to go berserk but Rayne knew this was not the time to start attacking people when his kingdom was on the verge of getting destroyed.To make things worse, the absence of Selene only makes his wolf restless. If he had known that it would end like this, he wouldn't have pushed her too much.No woman appears lovely before him now except HER.“Guards!" Rayne thundered and the guard walked in briskly. “Send a message to Drake. I need to see him now," Rayne said and the guard left in a hurry.His forehead formed deep creases as he bent his head. The rage that filled him could barely be tamed.A few minutes later, The door swung open and Drake walked in. His footsteps were light against the floor and it reminded me of Selene.“You sent for me, Alpha," Drake said as he stood beside Rayne. He is the king's advisor and he knew the turmoil
Isabella gulped down the saliva in her throat nervously. The corner of her eyes was wet with tears because of Rayne gripped around her neck.“I didn't... do anything." Isabella forced the words out of her mouth as she felt her palms become sweaty.Rayne pushed Isabella away, releasing her neck. She collided with the floor and coughed out simultaneously, holding her neck.Rayne took his cloak and draped it over his shoulder. He turned to face Isabella, who was still on the wooden floor.“Let's find out if she is really a thief. We should pay the maid in the dungeon a meeting." Rayne said aloud, taking Isabella by surprise.Isabella knew she needed to improve her acting skills. She could see Rayne was starting to suspect her.“Rayne," Isabella said softly as she rose from the floor. She walked towards Rayne but she made sure not to touch him.“Rayne. You almost hurt me." Isabella whined softly as she rubbed her neck with her hand. Rayne didn't spare Isabella a glance as he walked away
The guards on the floor weep bitterly on the floor. He continued to beg for his life and amidst the tears, the maid he had an affair with was brought into the interrogation room.The maids crouched low on the floor beside the guards, who turned out to be her lovers. Rayne knew something was still fishy but he wanted to ignore his gut feeling for now.Since Selene is not in the palace anymore, Who would try to kill the maid to conceal a secret? The only person that came to Rayne's mind was Isabella. He couldn't believe he underestimated her.Meanwhile, this time, Rayne is planning to dance to Isabella's tune. He rose from the chair and gave his order for the maid to be thrown inside the cell room alongside the guards.He knew he was supposed to sentence them to death but the maid was already pregnant, which made things awkward. He wouldn't kill the pregnant maid because of the rule of the palace but he ought to give them the right punishment or cases like this will continue to arise.”
Selene gets into the carriage alongside Eve and Azalea. It was already the day Selene would be showcasing her talent in the theater. The girls engaged in quick talk inside the carriage while the coachman drove.The moment the carriage dropped them not far from the theater house, Selene paid the coachman. Her long skirt swept the floor as she walked forward in her flowery shoes.The sun cast its rays on them, and the village was already bustling with people and passersby. “Selene, you are so generous. You paid for our transport again." Eve praised Selene with a voice etched with happiness. She was putting on a green dress and her red hair glowed lightly like a fire under the sun.“Well, let's thank Sir Logan for giving Selene the money," Azalea said, half smiling. “Thank you, Selene but you should let us pay too when we are going back," Azalea chirped in.Before Selene could speak, Eve beat her to it, silencing her.“I know," Eve said as they made their way to the theater house. “I'm
Selene made her way to Eve, who hugged her tightly like a baby. Selene smiled into the hug and rubbed Eve back lightly.“I can't believe you did that. Are you sure this is your first time acting?" Eve asked with one of her brows raised.Selene licked her dry lips and smiled because oblivious to her two friends, she could play the role because it was similar to her own story.Eve just asked her a question and she needed to answer it truthfully.“This is my first time, Eve. I should thank you for bringing me here, actually," Selene confessed and it made Eve smile.Azalea hugged Selene too but a feeling gnawed at her that Selene might take her spotlight in acting. She feels insecure but she needs to wait and see.“You act well, Selene; I must admit that," Azalea said with an innocent face.“Thank you," Selene replied.“We need to get into the role and act now. Just wait here for us," Azalea said and Selene agreed to wait behind.The play went on smoothly and they agreed to practice once
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
