Selena's POV

I went to the dresser and opened the top drawer, looking for my favorite comfort hoodie and leggings. After weeks of hospital gowns and oversized T-shirts, I wanted something that felt more like me. It was one of the few things that I’d been allowed to have of my own since my father didn’t want to be bothered by “feminine business”.

Although he stuck his nose in everything else I did – all just to humiliate me!

As my fingers glided over the soft fabrics, an unsettling thought suddenly entered my mind. What if Rain had been in here? Had he gone through my things? Had he touched my belongings? Oh my goddess, had he been in here jerking off to my scent?

Shit!

Suddenly my chest tightened, and my breath came in short, ragged gasps. My hands trembled as I dropped my clothes back into the drawer as if they’d someone burned me.

No!

No, no, no...

    Selena’s POVThe silence in the room grew thick as the alpha’s calm demeanor slipped and his wolf’s rage filled the space. I’d seen it happen a million times before and the best thing to do then was to show submission. But if I ever did that--- well, my life would have gone from a living hell to three floors below.So I met his gaze head-on, letting the dominance roll over me. I was lucky in that aspect of not having a wolf, so I didn’t feel the crushing weight of it. It still made my skin tingle uncomfortably, and my stomach tightened in knots...“Who?” he asked, his voice as cold as granite. “Who is he?”He was angry. Understandably, since he’d claimed several times that I was to be his mate. Hearing that someone else had a claim on what he already considered to be his, would piss off--- well, anyone really. But for a werewolf, that was a whole other level of “pi

    Selena's POVFucking ass was kissing me!I should struggle against him. It was the right thing to do, I knew it! But in the end, all I could do was feel. Feel the way my body reacted to him. I felt the tenderness of his lips as if they were conveying a secret message from his soul. My toes curled and involuntarily, a moan slipped between my lips. Only it was muffled by his hard lips on mine…It sounded so--- erotic!I should have felt embarrassed. But instead, I found it ignited a fire low in my belly. A fire that only he could quench. A fire that was going to burn me up, unless he--- I wasn’t sure what he could do, but I moved closer to him. I was in physical pain and I needed more of him somehow.And he understood!He moved his arms around my waist and went lower. He caressed my ass-cheek making me squirm. It eased the pain a little, though it wasn’t enough.I needed more!

    FAQ: Rejection isn’t a thing in this universe!Selena’s POV“Be-betray?” I stuttered, my mind reeling from the information. “How---? How’s that even possible?”Maybe it was foolish of me to still believe in the mate bond and that it was holy to wolves. Considering that both my father and Rain clearly didn’t want their mates. But even my father loved my mother in his own way--- before he decided that she wasn’t worth his time anymore.And Rain…Well, he claimed that I was his mate. And he treated me like I was the most priceless thing he’d ever set eyes upon. Yet, he’d met his fated mate and claimed that he didn’t want her. That she meant nothing to him, and he didn’t care about her.So why did I still believe that mates loved and cherished each other?Because, despite all of the above, I’d only met my o

But with trembling hands I now pushed the door open, welcomed by the gruesome sound of muffled screams. I took a quick look around, barely registering that the room had a similar layout as my own room, only slightly bigger with darker walls and furniture. But my eyes quickly honed in on the figure balled on the floor, letting out low grunts and curses, occasionally replaced by an agonized howl.&l

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 POVAlthough I’d told her about werewolf mates, I hadn’t told her what it meant to be one. And one glance at the poor beta, I could see that her words hurt him more than a silver blade to the gut. His eyes flickered desperately to me, begging me to help him.I turned to look at my best friend again. I hated seeing her scared and unsure of what was going on, especially considering her past. But was it really my place to tell her? She’d done so much for me and been so kind when I needed her help. Even now, when I was in a dire situation with Rain, she still stood by me, skipping out on her own job and health for my sake.Sighing, I decided that I was going to play cupid…“Beta, could you give us a minute, please?” I asked gently, gesturing for the wolf to leave the room. To my surprise, he actually did what I told him, giving me a curt nod and leaving the room.I turned to Stella---

But suddenly everything came back and once more my hand flew to my stomach – startling Stella, who jumped up, ready to fight even with her eyes closed still.“Sorry about that,” I grinned, feeling bad for startling her, but still had to laugh at the cartoonish display. She blinked her eyes open, smacking her lips lazily and looking around. Although, as a nurse, she had spent countless nights and days sleeping in the hospital when she had to work overtime or had a double shift, so she didn’t look too surprised by the whole ordeal.“Well, that’s one way to get pretty,” she yawned, stretching and working out a couple of kinks. “I can’t remember the last time I slept that well! And don’t apologize, you silly bird. You’re pregnant and have been through an ordeal. It’s OK for you to take a break.”Yeah

I hadn’t realized how the castle I considered my home was her prison. I’d placed my idea of her, of our future, on a pedestal, worshiping it like a false god.And hell, I’d needed it!It had been the one thing that had kept me going during my darkest time. When my hands were drenched in blood, and when the people I trusted stabbed me in the back. When I felt like giving up and wondered if I should just take my own life – to end my own misery--- those dreams had been the only thing that kept me going…I remembered being alone and isolated, my wolf howling with grief and loneliness. He belonged in a pack, with his family and--- but everyone he met betrayed him. Everyone was eag

The chatter instantly died down; some of the wolves who knew me well were smart enough to shrink back. My thunderous expression rarely left anything in its wake other than blood and bodies...“Did I?” I thundered, jumping onto the high rise where my throne stood, and spun to face my pack along with the many representatives from other packs that always milled about at the castle. “Or did I not declare to everyone under my command that Selena Throme was not to be harmed in any way?”The room fell deadly silent. Those who knew me well kept their mouth shut and heads low, not willing to risk having my claws sink into them. All the other idiots, however, looked to each other with confused expressions, wondering what I was talking about.Then, one brave

But despite it all, I couldn’t help but cling to the fact that there was hope…“She still loves me,” I sighed in relief--- but the fact also speared my heart like a silver blade. “But it’s not enough to convince her.”Fear clawed at my chest, and I’d long since decided that I hated this feeling. Hated feeling helpless and weak, unable to protect the people I loved.What if she chose to run away before I had a chance to explain everything? Before I had a chance to apologize and tell her how much I loved her? That she was the only one I ever wanted, and how sorry I was for how I acted?That I’d been a fucking asshole!My hands flexed and my fingers dug into the palm of my hands, frustrations of being so fucking helpless making my body shake.

A part of me wished it were true. That this could explain everything and I could finally heal from my pain.The easy way…But nothing in life was ever easy. And I had to keep my emotions out of this. Emotions had no place in making choices that would affect my child. I had to rely on myself. On my experiences and on the fact that I had to see past people’s words. It was the actions and patterns that spoke to their characters. And Rain---I could never believe him!He could as easily lie ab

She deserved it after everything she’d been through.And I wanted to be happy for her!But some part of me also remembered that I would never have the same thing happen to me. I was a mere human and would never know the connection of a true mate bond. And no matter how many times the man I loved more than life itself claimed that I was his, I’d never be his mate.And he’d always choose her over me...I tried to bite back the tears and smiled through the pain.“Congratulations, Elijah,” I said softly, but the wolf just barely spared me a glance. “She’s a good one.”“You better be talkin’ ‘bout me, songbird,”

My pulse started to buzz in my ear and my heart felt as if it was trying to break free of my chest.“NURSE!” Rain bellowed next to me, just as I doubled over in pain. I couldn’t breathe, and I hated that I was once again relying on Rain to get me help...“Rain?”Someone called out, and I immediately recognized Elijah’s voice.“Get a fucking nurse! She’s sick,” Rain snapped--- and came around to gently pat my back, sending currents of calming sparks throughout my body. “Breathe, my Azure. Remember to breathe.”I wanted to yell at him again. Tell him I wasn’t “his Azure”, but I felt too sick to do so. Bile rose and,
