SELENE POV "I'll always protect and be with you," he said and I nodded without a word as the man who looked like him and whom I had seen a few days in the conference room walked towards us."Welcome to the family," he said, a smile playing on his lips as his eyes twinkled with mischief.I could feel Zeus' tense beside me and from the corner of my eyes, I saw his lips pursed in a thin line."I'm sorry we couldn't be properly introduced the last time. 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. "See you around, your Highness, and you two, have fun," he walked
SELENE POVWe howled our vows into the fool moon and the other pack members howled in approval.We are mates now. He was mine and I was his. I had no idea how to feel about that, but I was always, my eyes vacant as I nodded to whatever anyone said. 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
SELENE POVJulia was my maid and she was even much more personal than I thought possible as she followed me to my room, offered to bathe and dress me even after I had refused, and later insisted on picking a dress for me as the new queen, to which I allowed.I ended up wearing a deep-necked pale blue dress which brought out my curves.She walked me to the dining table, where Zeus' was already waiting for me. 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
Unknown POVI knew that something was going on when she had that look in her eyes again. 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
Unknown POV"What is the queen like?"She stopped and turned around. "I think she's traumatized and has built a wall around herself. 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
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
SELENE POV He looked taken aback and I turned back to look out the window. I had decided to just watch everything play out and not interfere; besides, it wasn't in my jurisdiction. 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"That aside, she has not been performing the duties of a queen, I even heard that she's always gloomy and devoid of life. 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
ZEUS POV"A butterfly.""It's a handkerchief?" She nodded, saying nothing and I smiled."For me, I hope?"She didn't say anything for a while, as if she was thinking about it. And then she nodded. "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
