/Selene's POV/ After the bulb went off in my head that there was a possibility that the flashback of the necklace's owner may be the instigator, I remembered Eros vouching for him and telling me that he could swear on his life for him since they had been through a lot together, so I brushed it off thinking it could be coincidence or maybe the person wants to frame him with it.The atmosphere between Eros and I hadn't changed, he was showing me the ruthless and arrogant billionaire the media portrayed him to be, I felt like a fragment of my soul was ripped away from me and I didn't have the conscience to blame him for what he was doing and how he's been acting conscious around me, it's what I would do also of someone attempted my murder or assassination.I remembered cooking twice for him and putting it where he would see it, but he paid no mind to it or maybe he was avoiding anything that had to do with me because it was the same spot I used to keep his food when the kids were here.
/Selene’s POV/“Beep Beep.” I heard the annoying sound of the heart monitor filtered into my ears making me groan, I tried to turn and cover my ears with the pillow but a tug of my hand made me open my eyes.“Wait is that a heart monitor sound? Where the fuck I am?” I jolted up and looked around frantically, I saw Eros all sprawled out on the chair, the dark circles under his eyes were obvious as fuck but I decided not to say anything.I looked around again and noticed soft sunlight filtering through the window, casting a warm glow on the room. The walls are painted a soothing pastel colour, and adorned with cheerful artwork and motivational quotes which made me smile.In the corner where I was sitting, there was a bedside table with a vase of fresh flowers, adding a splash of vibrant colours and a gentle fragrance. The room is equipped with essential medical equipment, like a heart rate monitor and an IV stand which I was hooked to, I tried racking my brain to remember what happened
/Selene’s POV/“Dead? In front of my house?” He answered with a deadly voice while looking over at me.He rushed over immediately after making me promise and assured him that I could take of myself.I was discharged two days later, so eager to know who was dumped dead in front of our house, Eros refused to tell me all because he thought I was going to pass out while still in the hospital bed.“Well now that I’m discharged, would you tell me what the fuck happened and how they got dumped in the front of our porch,” I asked while silently thanking the moon goddess that the rights were made that night, I don’t know how I would have faced him now, knowing he didn’t kill my parents put him another a different telescope for me to see who he truly was. I know he would not lie to him, he doesn’t fear anyone.“You’d be disheartened to hear who it truly is, it’s not even our pack member.” he sighed, I looked at him and I could trace the stress visible in his features, I wanted to reach out to h
/Selene's POV/“Who did this to you?” I asked her but she kept on shaking her head while closing her eyes, I didn’t notice what she was trying to do till I felt a sting on my neck and was too late to react.“I did before you could get to her.” I heard a familiar voice before I slipped into the pool of unconsciousness.“Hmm” I groaned while trying to stretch my muscles before I realized that I was strapped in a chair, my two hands being cuffed at my back and my legs were also chained to the floor making me remember how I was stupid enough and too engrossed by rage that someone sneaked up on me and drugged me.I tried to summon a weapon so I could at least free myself and get the hell out of here before they were able to cause any real damage, but I hissed loudly and felt tears accumulate in my orbs from trying to summon the weapon. My hands burned and I could smell the coppery scent dominating the atmosphere accompanied by a faint Scent, recalling horseradish when moist making me groan
/Selene’s POV/“Enough, you've revealed almost all the information.” He snarled while coming into my view and I paled immediately.“You? You’re the one behind it? The killings and all?” I stuttered while glaring at him with hatred in my bones wishing nothing else than to leap over and detach his head from his neck. “Surprise!! How long did it take you to realize that? See, after all, I still outsmarted you.” Alexander the Beta of the blood moon Pack smiled while taunting me and stalking me with his predatory move. i“Fuck, I knew it. Your crescent-shaped necklace gave it out, but I thought maybe I could be mistaken, since Eros trusted you with his life blindly, vowing you would die for him, I wonder how disheartening it would be when he finds out that you are the one planning to dethrone him.” I conveyed, hoping he would miraculously tell me that he was compelled to do it.“You see, it’s always Eros, he has always been favoured. Always a step ahead, why not me!!” He yelled, after real
/Selene's POV/“Alexander Lucian knew if he wanted to take the throne, he must work himself into an influential position which he did by becoming the friend of the king and bringing influential and powerful people to the fold early by promising them more power.” I reasoned.“There’s more to this, I know who killed your parents.” He revealed.“Oh, you are the one? You framed it on Eros then?” I asked, but all I got from the son of a bitch was a humourless chuckle.“I haven't completed my story yet, I feel like I should tell you about it, maybe the moon goddess would understand since you are one of her favourites.” He smiled.“I told you that my mother and I were given to the ruler of a small town when I was very small, which means Eros did not recognize me, so I made a deal with the ruler, to let me go and serve the king. When Eros killed our father, he was lonely because all the princes that played together with him were killed by our father out of rage.” “I knew as a young person who
/Eros’s POV/I have been waiting and pacing around for Phoebe to come back, it's been almost three hours since she left and she hasn't shown up since then nor replied to my calls or messages.“You have access to the camera, you can tune in and see what's happening, I can't help but feel as if something is wrong also,” Ares commented making me stroll to the CCTV control room, I tuned in the cameras in the prison to check what was happening, although from an angle I could see Maria bloodied body slumped on the chair, which means she had done her magic on her but I can't get a hold of Phoebe.“Have you seen any trace of the Gamma? When did she finish dealing with the prisoner? How many hours has it been?” I mind-linked the prison guards.“We haven't seen her come outside yet since when she entered inside.” They replied making me fear.“Did you both leave your post for a minute? ToMaybe take a leak or something?” I asked trying to keep my tone neutral and calm while I rewind the footage
/Eros’s POV/“Alpha, Cain Maxwell from the Hyacinth Pack is demanding to see you.” The border patrol informed me.“Hyacinth pack? I think I’ve heard of the Pack. Ask him what is his intentions for coming here.” I commanded while trying to remember where I heard the name of that Pack.“He said he knows about the missing people’s whereabouts.” He mind-linked me.“Please direct him or maybe guide him to the Packhouse, I don’t want him wandering about and I need to see him as soon as possible, there is another guard to stay in position right?” I asked.“Yes your Majesty, don’t worry about it and we are on our way already to the pack.” He assured.“What’s the problem? Have they gotten a hold or trace of them?” Arielle questioned while hope glimmering in her hazel orbs.“Unfortunately no, but I think there is someone who might know where they are and he is on their way. Alexander would not be so stupid to take to somewhere where we can easily get a hold of her, don’t you think?” I looked a
