SELENE POV

Maybe he couldn't bear to see me hurt when all he needed from me was to sate his pleasures.

"I could leave if you prefer to be alone," he said after a while and I popped my head up to glance at him to see that he had turned on his heel and was now facing the door, his back to me.

I must've been so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that he had stood up and walked to the door.

"You can stay."

He spun around, his eyes widening and his lips parting slightly before he quickly masked his surprise with a boyish grin.

Even I was surprised at myself.

He took a step forward and with each step he took, my heart began to flutter wildly in my chest.

"Thank you, Selene."

I opened my mouth to speak but swallowed hard as I nodded instead. I was surprised that he was thanking me.

"I had somewhere urgent to be this morning, that was why I missed breakfast."

I nodded, resisting the urge to tell him that I was fine. It was the best breakfast that I had eaten in a long time.

I tried to sound as calm as possible, but I was sure that my voice came out laced with nervousness."Come on Selene, let me in."I spun around just as I heard the door open, and to my surprise, she was gone, and all I saw was my reflection.A wave of disappointment washed over me."I guess you're not ready yet." His tone was calm, but underneath, it was disappointing,g, and I swallowed hard as I realized that he had seen the look on my face."No," I blurted out, ignoring my raging emotions and the many questions that I had.I raised my head at him to see that he was holding a tray that had a small cake in it."This is a thank you," he said as soon as he saw that I was looking at the cake and I collected it and placed it on the nightstand. I wanted to ask him what he was thankful for, but I didn't care."It's good to see you looking so well. I um—I brought you something," he looked nervous and I wondered what it was that he brought to have made him look like

    Alpha Zeus POV There was a knock again and I groaned with frustration as I peeled the phone away from my ear."Come in," I called out, wondering who it was to have disturbed me so early in the morning and still annoyed that the guards had disobeyed my instruction.After the incident of the previous day, I was pretty sure that Ben was up to no good and it scared me to think that he was going to harm Selene. I figured that she must've been startled and went to meet her later that day, but she was still the same, indifferent and unbothered. She was like a zombie, only that she wasn't rotting.I was still thinking of a suitable punishment for Orion and his new mate. I heard from Ronan that they had gone ahead with the mating ceremony, but it was a small ceremony.The door opened and Ronan walked in and sat on the chair right in front of me."I was going through those documents and didn't need any disturbance," I didn't bother to hide my annoyance and he glanced at the documents. It was

They must've already thought about the possibility of me interfering and there are measures for that," I paused and walked to the window, shoving my hands deep into my pocket as I took in the beauty of the view."They might spin the narrative around and make it seem like a mere accusation.""But—""For now, we watch and see whatever is going on before doing anything.""Oh Man! And I was so happy and getting prepared to show my new skills," he stood up and began to throw punches in the air."What do I do to make her trust me? She acts very polite and Formal around me. I've told her to trust me, I've shown her nothing but care. Nothing is working!""I think teaching Orion and his wife a lesson will help you.""Well, you have any idea?"After what seemed like an eternity of us staring at each other, he grinned widely and my brows pulled into a frown."I do have a plan.

    Alpha Zeus POV She was dressed in an elegant dark red strapless bodycon dress that hugged her body like a second skin, accentuating her curves. She was walking towards me, and with each step she took, my heart raced faster, and I stood up immediately.The necklace she wore had a small diamond pendant that shone on her neck and with each step she took, her wavy black hair seemed to bounce.I wasn't salivating for the food anymore. I didn't want it anymore. All I wanted was her."Your Highness," She murmured as she bowed slowly."You've captured my heart," I confessed as my heart rate sped up.She averted her gaze, fixing her eyes on the roses I had kept on the table."I don't know which flowers you like, so I got you this one.""Thank you, I like it," there was no emotion in her voice, and I had a feeling that she was lying, but I said nothing, not wanting the dinner to be awkward."You're beautiful, cupcake."She licked her glossy lips, and my eyes followed that simple action as I im

I mean, she should be glad that he's marrying her," one of them said, followed by the clanking of kitchen wares before another feminine voice spoke, which I was sure was another maid."Nobody in the council likes her or even approves of her, but it's not like they can say anything to him. He's too calm and considerate—-""If it were his brothers, they wouldn't have batted an eyelid at her, mate or not," yet another voice spoke and I scrunched my face, but I remained quiet as I listened to their conversation."Ben would've made for a better Alpha king," it was the first voice this time around. And then the voices became distant as I heard the sound of water splashing."I hope Ben comes back to reclaim his position!" I heard the voice again as soon as the sound of the water stopped.Several gasps of shock followed and my palm quickly flew to my mouth due to the

    SELENE'S POVThe day of the mating ceremony came so fast that I wondered if I was ready for this.Looking at myself in the mirror as I was dressed in a pretty white laced dress with a light pink tulle skirt that covered my legs and a crown of flowers resting on my head reminded me of the woman in the mirror.That was a few days ago, but it felt like just yesterday. I couldn't say anything to anyone, but I was always wondering who the woman was. She had told me that I was going to find out who she was pretty soon and I couldn't wait.I glanced at the mirror slowly again, willing myself to see her, but instead, all I saw was my reflection and how beautiful I looked. But my eyes held a certain sadness and I smiled slowly in a bid to hide it."You look beautiful, my lady," Cara said and I nodded without a word.Zeus's had told me that it was custom in the Blackhound pack for all the werewolves to be in their wolf form during the later part of the mating ceremony. That was the most importa

I'm Ben, his brother," he patted Zeus', earning a glare from him.I said nothing but nodded as I realized that this was him, the one the maid had been talking about the other day."Why do you look—-you don't seem happy? Aren't you happy to become the queen?"I grinned widely and he frowned before bursting out laughing."You're funny. I hope we get to catch up soon——""Aren't you going to leave?""Are you trying to chase me away?""I—-"He turned to glance at me and winked.

They were never going to get any emotions out of me.A while later, I walked to the room that he had prepared for us, for our first night.Cara had given me a silk nightdress to cover my nakedness after I had transformed into my human form. She had then informed me that the Alpha king had prepared a room for us."Tomorrow, I'll introduce the new maids assigned to you——""What about you?" I blurted out and it seemed as though my question had started her as she blinked rapidly and then grinned."I'll be around, my queen, but unfortunately, I was not assigned to you. But you can always call on me whenever you need me."I frowned but said nothing as I wondered why they were taking Cara away from me. I was already becoming used to her. I wanted

"For you.""Why?""Because you asked."I stood up, suddenly angry. I knew I shouldn't be, but with everything going on at the moment, my temper was rising by the minute. I had come to see her in a bid to calm myself down after everything that had happened.I was going through all of this because of her. Yet, here she was, giving me one-worded replies and telling me that she was making a handkerchief for me because I asked."What is wrong with you? I have tried everything! Done everything! For you and yet you…" I flung my arms, willing myself to not say anymore unless I was going to hurt her and regret it.She glanced up at me, clearly surprised at my outburst, but not reacting in any way whatsoever. "Are you a fucking vegetable! Don't you have emotions? You just sit here all day, not doing a

Another information that got to us was that our archenemy, the Redvine pack called you weak for having a weak Queen who is also a…the word is abominable."The offers murmured in approval and I sighed. They had all been brainwashed."But you all gave your approval before and during the mating ritual," I pointed out."That was..that was our mistake, your highness," another member of the council chipped in."Well, I have heard you all and I appreciate the concern. But there is nothing we can do about that.""Your Highness, on the contrary, there are things we can do."I furrowed my brows, wondering what nonsense they were going to spew this time around. "And what are they?"He glanced at the other and from the way he looked nervous, I knew that I wasn't going to like whatever he was going to say. "Your Highness, we could change the queen…"He was still talk

But after seeing my mate being mistreated like that, I couldn't just sit back."Oh," was all he said as he nodded with understanding."I know they're going to try and use her against me, but I will be prepared. I can't let anything at all happen to her.""Are you going to make her the queen?" He asked after a while of silence and a sigh expelled from my lips.I sat down in front of him, feeling the urge to drink the whiskey that was atop the table."What do you think, Ronan?""I think you shouldn't. She's an Omega and Greenforest's traitor. To clear her name will require you to reveal that you know about the ploy between Alpha Haines and your brother.""I can't wait to make her mine when the time is right…""You do know that once the members of the council find out that you rescued an Omega and she is curr

    Selene POV "Were you expecting him to be here? When he disappeared, leaving the throne to you?" Raoul said and muttered something incomprehensible under his breath. It was obvious that he didn't want Zeus on the throne."You want the throne?" I didn't look up, but knowing Zeus, I was sure that he was glaring at his brother."You're still quiet today, my queen," Ben said and I glanced up at him. I wanted to tell him that I was fine, but I felt someone's hand on mine and looked down to see that it was Zeus."Thank you for your concern, Zeus. But she is fine and does not need your help."He gazed at me, a small smile playing on his lips. "I want you to meet my brothers.""Brothers, I wasn't happy that you all didn't come to my wedding, as a family. So, I believe I have to invite you all to dinner to meet the newest member of our family.""Isn't she the one from the family of traitors? The one demoted to an Omega?"It was Raoul's voice and I managed to still keep my expression neutral, e

I don't think there's a way anyone can break that.""Why do you think my brother wants you to keep an eye on her?""The same reason I wanted to be close to her. He wants to use her against Zeus. But I have a plan. Your brother wants her to be his puppet. It's not going to work. I've seen the look in her eyes. She's determined.""What's your plan?" I said as I took long strides forward to meet her. She spun around immediately, facing me."Finding out what your brother wants as I feel like he has a greater plan. That's not all, we have to get the support of some of the council members and introduce a perfect candidate for a queen. We need to make everyone see that having an Omega who came from a family of traitors is not advisable as it's going to taint our reputation."I furrowed my brows. It was a good plan, but seeing how madly in love Zeus was, it wasn

It was the same kind of look she had the day I went to the conference room.She was bottling up those emotions and I had never seen my brother as angry as he was then. He must love her a lot. Too bad that she doesn't feel the same way towards him.She was like a puppet, the perfect one if I really wanted to get to our brother, and one brother was too in love to want to pull the strings. That was where I was going to have to come in.Not even the others would see this coming. I smiled to myself as I removed the phone from my pocket and dialed an all-too-familiar number.The phone rang for a while before he picked it up."Have you heard of our brother's wife?" I said the person on the other end of the line grunted."What wife?""He is about to take a queen. Now, that's not the problem. The thing is that she is an Omega. You heard about the recently executed beta of the Greenforest Park. She's the da

He smiled as soon as he saw me as he stood up and brought out a chair for me to sit on."Should we go on a honeymoon?"I was taken aback. I never thought of that, but I was careful to not let my emotions betray me. I didn't want to go on a honeymoon."I guess not," he said after a while of my silence and we ate in silence.I turned around as I had a feeling that I was being watched, and to my surprise, I caught Julia's eyes. She didn't attempt to look away as she smiled widely upon meeting my gaze. She was a few distance away from us as she watched me and I wondered if this was al
