”I bow to no man!” Her voice sent a chill down my spine as I stood before her. I’d only heard those words once before in my life. They’d been haunting me every night and day since--- Since the worst night of my life! Back then, they’d saved my life… With my heart still beating hard in my chest, I slowly approached her. I could barely see her eyes, from how swollen they were. But sure enough, stubbornly looking back at me were those azure blue eyes that had been my only comfort when I was surrounded my nothing but darkness. The woman who saved my life – the one I’d sworn to come back for and give my life to! - was my dead enemy's daughter!
view moreSelena's POVI had no idea where I was, and rather than walking around like a headless chicken, I needed a plan. First things first. If I was going to escape, I needed more information. More precisely, I needed a map and figure out where I was located. And much to my dismay, my best bet was the library--- which I’d just escaped.Stupid!I turned on my heel and, with my heart pounding, I retraced my steps--- and once more nearly ran straight into a pair of guards.Shit!Flattening myself against another doorway, I held my breath as they walked past, their conversation a low murmur. My fingers dug into the wooden frame as I forced myself to stay still. At this rate, I was going to be caught before I really escaped. For now, I’d been lucky. But I didn't know how much longer I could rely on luck or on the scent neutralizer to save my butt.I needed to get my ass into gear or else I was fuck
Selena’s POVMy heart pounded a million miles a minute, as my mind slowly realized what they were planning. Looking back at the door, I wondered if the guards had finally left. I had to get away from here. I had to escape so I could warn Rain!“You know,” the older officer said with a grin I didn’t like and clapped Greg on his shoulder as a fatherly figure would have. “Your father would be proud of you.”So Rain had killed my father’s beta too?I couldn’t say I was too sad to see him go either. My father’s beta hadn’t originally been in on my father’s plans to kill the King and Queen but hadn’t done anything to stop him either. And I didn’t care how much you were stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, that was just plain wrong!“Thank you, Will,” Greg said, his voice carrying a rare note of sincerity. Which really didn’t say much
Selena's POVNot wanting to risk being spotted by patrols – if they had any – I ducked back behind the curtains and crunching low, I passed it. My mind spun as I desperately tried to figure out where in damnation I was. Why would Rain take me away from the palace, knowing how many people wanted me dead? But then again, I didn’t think Rain would do that…The image of Greg flashed before my mind again.So--- not a dream then!But--- that raised some serious questions for me! As in--- had Greg actually come for me? Why? In all our time together I’d never had gotten the feeling that he--- you know! Well, cared for me! Sure, he’d sometimes been the one to take me back to my room when and if he walked in on my father beating me senseless. But he never stepped in to stop it. Or said anything about it for that matter…Thinking back, I think that my interactions
Selena’s POVI woke up slowly, feeling a strange heaviness in my entire body. As if something was crawling up and down my spine that made my skin itch. I couldn’t really describe it, but the feeling was like something when you wake up from a nightmare you couldn’t remember.Just wrong!Feeling unsettled, I reached out for Rain, wanting to bury my face in his warm chest and cling to him until the feeling went away. But to my surprise, his side of the bed was empty.Had he gone to work already?Against my brain’s advice, I blinked my eyes open, slowly getting used to the light. Only to realize that the light wasn’t the morning sun as I more or less expected, but a pale, artificial light coming from a chandelier hanging overhead. Frowning, I didn’t recognize it! Hell, when looking around I realize that I’d never been in this room in my life…Memories from the day before
Rain’s POVNo, can’t kill him, I reminded myself, much to my wolf’s dismay. Sure, he was annoying to listen to but he was good with numbers. Numbers were important when you ran a pack. So, no matter how boring accountants were, they were needed.No killing…Which still didn’t make my wolf any happier. He was frustrated that his mate hadn’t realized who we were and that she belonged to us. That she still kept part of herself locked away from us and until she fully opened up to us, we couldn’t claim her. It frustrated him---And that frustrated me!The animal didn’t understand the complexity of the situation. She believed she’d lost her mate even before they were able to recognize each other, and so she needed time to sort through her emotions. And I tried to be understanding…I really did!But I was getting tired of consta
Selena's POV“Is anyone guarding the secret tunnels?” I asked, slowly getting to my feet, my heart pounding so hard in my chest, I could feel my pulse rushing in my ear. I tried to force down my panic, but it was impossible. My whole body was shaking and air settled like lead in my lungs.Rogues…Why did it have to be rogues?!My mind clouded and darkness seemed to crawl into my vision. Images of the past wanted to force their way into the present. Echoes of flesh being ripped apart and screams of death t
Selena’s POVI smirked conspiratorially, hoping to throw Joey off his game. I shuffled the deck of cards, my fingers moving smoothly over the worn edges. Joey sat across from me at the small wooden table, his expression unreadable with his arms folded over his chest and holding the cards close to his chest. The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the courtyard, warming my skin despite the seasonal turn. The trees still clung onto their yellowing leaves as if their lives depended on it. The mountains were turning brown, ans while some might call it a boring and dead color, I liked
Selena's POV“Hey,” I heard from somewhere far away, and I realized that I’d been swallowed up in my own world. “Come back to me.”I looked up--- and smiled when I saw Rain’s worried face. Maybe it was because something about him reminded me of the Prince. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking, I couldn’t be sure. But something about him just instantly put me at ease. That could make me forget my past and---What my father had done!
Selena’s POVWhen I woke up, there was a delightful soreness between my legs. I sucked in a breath--- and smiled! I’d lost count of how many times he’d made me come. Or how many times he’d unload his load inside of me.Turing, I looked at the man still sleeping soundly next to me. Rain Blood, Rogue King, and heartless mercenary. And still, he looked peaceful and so innocent when he was sleeping…I reached out, brushing a s
Selena’s POVThe whip came down again and, surprisingly, another gasp left my dried-up lips. After all the pain, I was sure I’d passed out at some point.But I was still awake...Still able to hear the whip as it cracked through the air and came down on my skin. It split open from the force, blood trickling down my back and legs. The clothes I’d once called a dress were soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. Tatters of it still covered some of my modesty, but most of it was in tatters.How?How had it come to this?I closed my eyes, hoping that the memories would distract me from the pain. It coursed through my body like a flame, reaching from the tip of my toes to the top of my head. My bruised and battered skin felt hot and inflamed; as if it was stretched too thin. My muscles ached, and my arms and legs hurt. I couldn’t even feel my fingers anymore...It had happened just as dusk settled over the pack land. I’d been in my rooms surrounded by the omegas who served me hand and foot. I co...
