/Selene’s POV/
“What the hell will I do??” I muttered and jumped up only to hold my head and groan because of the migraine forming but being careful enough not to wake him up, I would’ve loved to see the fine specimen I slept with, but there was no time. I knew I would regret it if I didn’t take a look at him, so I glanced at him and I could see his extremely tall figure probably around 6’6 ft. He is extremely muscular to the point that I could see his muscles popping out even as he was snoring lightly. He is extremely tan and his dark hair is tousled messily due to the fact that he is on the bed, I snapped out of it before I got carried away. I picked up my clothes on the floor and saw stacks of cash, so I grabbed one knowing fully well that it would come in handy later. I got out of the penthouse and tried finding my way back to my pack, luckily, I saw a cab coming towards me so I hailed it down. “To the Hyacinth Estate,” I muttered and he sped off immediately, to humans the estate is like an orphanage home, or a gated place that’s inhabited by long chains of family, which makes it easier for us to blend in the community. “We’re here ma’am.” He mentioned making me give him two hundred dollars which earned me thousands of thank you from him, I know deep down he thinks I’m a stripper or worse prostitute, but at this point, I don’t care……all I want to do is sneak inside successfully and be on my bed. “Well, if you want to sneak inside successfully, move and stop standing on the road like a lost idiot.” Athena my wolf grunted out making my legs move on their own, because for my wolf to intervene it’s serious. I’m awed at the fact that Athena spoke to me today, it might be because of the stranger we slept with. Since I was sixteen, the age that every werewolf got their wolf and shift, I met Athena and she told me she’s my wolf and I can always talk to her. Athena doesn’t really speak much, but we spoke frequently till that faithful day I lost my wolf…………..the day I got rejected by my mate. She’s been mute since then, that’s why I’m so shocked when I heard her voice today. “Holy f**k.” I groaned when my back made contact with the cemented floor, I tiptoed to the mansion and was very stealthy so I didn’t make any sound that would invite the pack patrol. “Thank God,” I muttered after closing the pack’s house, I rested my forehead on it to catch my breath…..that was a narrow escape. “Where the hell are you coming from? Whoops you look like one of those street hookers.” My worse nightmare complimented. “Oops,” I whispered knowing fully well that I’ll have my ears full with Veronica’s high-pitched voice. “Like I said, where the hell are you coming from?” She questioned again while putting one of her hands on her waist as an act of intimidation. The action made me look at her dress well, I had to restrict myself from laughing at her ridiculous ebony dress….Veronica’s dress will never cease to amaze me. Did she think those sequins were doing her rolls of fat any favours? She looked like a stack of tyres that someone sprayed in glitters. “I went to pick up the groceries.” I lied and pinched myself after splattering a whole nonsense and unbelievable lie. “In a short dress?? by this time of the day??? Well then, where are the groceries you went to pick up?” She countered making me groan internally, among everyone in this house, why must it be her…..I thought luck was on my side. “I’m sorry, please can you let me go.” I apologized and she started laughing…… “What the hell is funny?? Did she inhale laughing gas somewhere?” I questioned myself because I couldn’t find anything funny in my sentence, so what went wrong? “Oh! So you can beg?? Wow, that’s amusing, the great and sarcastic Selene is begging.” She held her stomach and was bubbling in laughter. Thank God for my smart mouth, it’s saving me from a lot of unforeseen circumstances but it puts me in trouble greater than it saves me. I stood there and was waiting for her final decision, knowing it would come with a catch. “Well, you have to do my laundry and clean my room for the whole week……….make sure you don’t snoop around my stuff.” She proposed and I sighed in relief knowing she could’ve given me a worse condition. “Okay settled, please just don’t tell anybody.” I pleaded and she rolled her eyes and walked out. Whoops, that was close….I can’t imagine meeting Atlas instead of Veronica because my life will be hell in next week if he had caught me…….the combination of beating and raping doesn’t sound enticing to me at all …I’m not a fan of BDSM. Luckily I got to my room without encountering anybody, I went to the bathroom straight knowing that Atlas might summon for me or worse barge into my room to have his way with him, and he wouldn’t be pleased to inhale my scent reeking of sex and another man’s scent. I did not feel like washing the guy’s scent off me because it was cooling my spirit and I was feeling giddy while inhaling his pine and woodsy scent, but it has to be done because Atlas recognizes almost all the pack’s member scent, and it will definitely arouse suspicion so I had to wash it off. I bounced on my bed and started reminiscing what happened last night, and the flashbacks hit me so hard that I had to hold my head. From the bartender flirting with me to the guy trying to force himself on me till my saviour came…… “Hmmmmm” I groaned remembering that I didn’t catch his name, I tried racking my brain to remember but I couldn’t instead I started getting images of our tangled bodies last night, making me blush profusely. I halted my train of imagination from moving when I heard footsteps approaching my room, I waited to see if I could perceive his/her scent but couldn’t place the face. “Bitch !!!! Won’t you get your butt up and start working? Or you’ll not do the chores today because you went out??? If I reach the Kitchen before you do…I’ll tell the Alpha.” Veronica threatens and I start to wonder if this lady is obsessed with me, or infatuated because she doesn’t get tired of seeing me. “I’m coming.” I yelled before she could enter my room, not that I’m hiding anything but I wanted to prepare myself before she’d show me her taunting face. “What are you waiting for? Do you need me to tell you what to do again? Start cleaning omega.” She instructed knowing I would be infuriated but I paid her no mind. I started by sweeping the floors, using long, purposeful strokes to gather up dirt and debris left by the pack members and the pups. Next, I moved on to dusting the furniture, carefully wiping down each surface until it gleams knowing if I don’t do it well, Veronica or maybe the Luna will talk…. She’s a very clean woman and always prefers spotless work. I take extra care with fragile items like porcelains and ceramics while noting that if it breaks I’ll be broken, using a soft cloth to remove any dust or grime. As I work, I hum a tune under my breath, lost in the rhythm of the task at hand. Finally, I move on to the kitchen, scrubbing the sink and wiping down the countertops, at a point I got tired after seeing the stacks of dirty plates hidden in the nooks and crannies of the kitchen. I take pride in my work, knowing that a clean home is a happy home even if that’s far from me, but I love making the kids comfortable because they are the only one who treats me well apart from the ones that have been fed with dirty information by their parents. “Wow, you cleaned up so well, afraid of being told about sneaking out to the Alpha?” Veronica’s irritating voice interrupted making the remember that I have companions after getting lost in my own little world. “Well, thank you so much for the beautiful compliment.” I smiled sweetly while ignoring her last statement making her scowl at me. “Wow, who cleaned this house like this? This is spotless and good.” The Luna interrupted making me raise one of my eyebrows because she doesn’t really compliment people, but it seems she’s in a good mood. “The omega, Selene did it.” Veronica answered and I just rolled my eye, at least she didn’t take the credit for herself. “Well, you’ve done well today, so you can take the rest of the day off after washing the dishes.” She commanded making me do a happy dance mentally, knowing even Atlas cannot break her command. “Thank you Luna” I appreciated with a very small voice that I don’t possess making Veronica squint her eyes. I washed the dishes and endured Veronica’s endless insults, paying her no attention because in two minutes I’ll be on my bed laying down till tomorrow. “Ooops, looks like I’m done here for today…. My services are no longer needed, Dear Veronica have a good night rest.” I blew her a kiss knowing it would infuriate her and I wasn’t wrong because the next thing a heard was a guttural growl./Selene’s POV/ “I, Atlas Maxwell the future Alpha of Blue Zircon pack, reject you Selene Argus Phoebe as my mate and the Luna of Blue Zircon pack.” I jolted up, the same nightmare again…. The sentence that torments me whenever I’m sleeping or awake. “Hmmmmmm.” I groaned while stretching my body, I checked the time and the time said 5:20 am which was good because I passed out early and could still sleep throughout the night which was weird. I decided to go down and start my chore knowing the screeching bitch would barge in my room anytime from now if she didn’t see me doing my work, I know she’s still very pissed about the Luna giving me the rest of the day off yesterday…..so I better be on her good side today so she doesn’t snitch on me., I could practically give her another name, like a freakin-ticking-explosive. “It’s nice to have you downstairs Madam Selene, I thought you needed me to come and escort you out of your room,” Veronica threw her hands up as she radiated dramatics, b
/Selene’s POV/ My hair flew in the direction of the wind immediately I felt the cold wind slap my face, dipping my hands into my pocket, I whipped out the hidden device and tucked the earpiece in as I began the torturous journey to the doomed building, trying to push down the nagging feeling that was itching me in the chest, I enjoyed the sense of serenity that coursed through my veins as my soul connected to the music, I tried not to think of the bad feeling that was crawling up my spine because there is no day I don't get them. Tiptoeing my way into the forest, my eye scanned any possible threat like a thorn that could cause temporary damage to my leg, my legs froze as I heard a rustling sound around me, I immediately yanked out the plugs and assumed a fighting stance, not like I could take them on but I'd be doomed if I go down without a fight., I brushed it off thinking it was just me being on edge, I was about to tuck the plugs in when I heard the same sound again, looking frant
/Selene's POV/ “Using her as a sex slave is not enough,” Atlas complained and his voice made me halt my movement because I knew in my gut that I was the one he was referring to, and the only person who knew that we were mates was his best friend. “But Atlas, you’ve rejected her and you’re coveting her beauty while using her as your sex slave, what more could you want?” Luke asks him. “Using her to breed omegas.” My dear mate answered. I kept on pondering what I heard, I can't be an omega breeder, I refuse to allow any child to live the kind of life I'm living in this pack, so I made a decision that I'd leave the Pack today. Over my dead body will I be used as an omega breeder, knowing that I’d be as good as dead tomorrow by the Alpha would have heard what I did in the school, I decided to pack few of my stuff into my backpack then leave the Pack at night. I packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to give Veronica, knowing she'd stick to her words and leave me alone till the
Selene’s P.O.V “Revenge.” Then I slammed the door to the pack house. “I, Selene Argus Phoebe accept Atlas Maxwell's rejection of being his mate and the Luna of the Hyacinth pack. ” I declared. I made my way out of the Packhouse and was careful and stealthy enough not to get caught by the border patrols knowing fully well that that happening would ruin not just my plan but my life. Immediately I successfully snuck out of the Hyacinths estate, I took a long deep breath and my racing heart slowed its movement. I started walking down the road since I didn't see any cab coming this way and didn't want to risk the border patrols catching a whiff of my scent. However, by the time they do, I’d have gone very far and made it hard for them by spraying Veronica's perfume. If there's anything I prioritize most now, it's not being caught because they will kill me. Seeing the yellow four wheels heading in my direction, I almost squealed in excitement because I was a minute from dropping dead, my
/Selene's POV/ “Shopping here I come,” I muttered then left the room, I could feel the hollowness and the emptiness of the motel making me wonder if it was deserted or if that Barbie-bitch of a receptionist had used her dirty mouth to chase all the potential customers, I wouldn't blame them, if not for my pettiness and my legs that gave up on me yesterday, I would have looked for the other motel. “Hi, bar-bitch.” I greeted and was so disappointed when I found another person on the opposite side of the counter, she stifled a laugh and snickered at the name while squinting her eyes and raising her perfectly arched eyebrows in question. “I would assume that Linda is the Bar-bitch, and Good morning, you're very pretty.” She rambled on and I instantly fell in love with her, at least my day would be better. “Ohhh her name is Linda, I think Bitchinda suits her personality well, thank you, you’re also very pretty.” I complimented and her cheeks instantly turned to the shade of tomato red.
|Selene's POV| “It was a joke, here’s the cash,” I stated and dropped a twenty hundred dollar bill on the table, I made my way towards the two jokers to get my comeback. I got there and smiled sweetly at them, then looked at the floor to say the word that would bring out their worst fear. “Rat!!!!” I screamed and the both of them scrambled out knocking over their glasses of wine on their clothes, screeching and looking frantically I slipped out of their sight, the moment I got outside, there was an uproar in the restaurant probably from trying to look for the nonexistent rat, by the time I looked into the transparent door of the diner, I bent over clutching my stomach as laughter cracked through me at their terrified faces, their clothes now smeared with wine making them look as if they were coming from a painting carnival. “Ouccchhh, I forgot to ask the waiter where I can get pieces of stuff. ” I groaned and stomped my feet, and I knew going back was not an option because of the up
/Selene’s POV/ “Atlas,” I whispered in shock as fear draped over me like a thick cloud of a blanket, quickly ducking my head down in time before he saw me, my orbs clashed with the driver's in the rearview mirror, but he pressed his lips tight but gave me worried look asking if I was fine silently, I gave him a firm nod to answer his question. I hoped they hadn't gotten to the motel I lodged in, I started bouncing on my knees, my body trembling as I feared what would happen if I was caught, I can't go back to the life I used to live, I know Atlas's plans for me would have intensified. I can't let innocent children live the kind of miserable life I lived. I was so carried away, that I was lost in the field of thought, I was brought back to reality when a veiny hand was shoved to my line of sight which got my attention and made me blink twice before frantically checking around to see if I was being stopped by anybody. “I’ve been trying to get your attention ma’am, you’re so carried a
“Ring! Ring !” The buzzing of the telephone interrupted the raging storm going on in my head, I jumped out of bed and ran to the table where the telephone was kept on. “Hi, Selene, The man you have in with earlier is here.” The receptionist informed me. “Okay, I'll be there soon, tell him to just give me a few minutes” I answered back and aborted the call. “I hope this man is for me and not against me.” I muttered and leaned my back on the wall tiredly. I decided to just drag myself to the reception and quit being lazy, if I can pack my suitcase today and arrange the little stuff I bought, I should be able to leave this town before tomorrow dawns. I took a step and immediately felt like the world was spinning, the moment I felt a bile rise in my throat, I ran to the bathroom and hurled the digested fries out of my system, my chest rose up and down and at this point, I was worried for myself because werewolves don't get sick so I do not know why I keep on throwing up everything my s
