Alpha Zeus POV

Selene silence made cold shivers run down my spine and never have I ever been so nervous my whole life.

Here I was, growing goosebumps and sweating in my armpits as I prayed to the Moon Goddess that Selene made the right choice.

Not only did Orion maltreat her, but he chose to believe his ex over his mate and someone who was carrying his child.

Therefore he wasn't a good mate and fit to be with him. The way he has even tried to manipulate her into choosing him already said the same thing that the guy was nothing but a manipulator.

"Hey, Selene... Nobody is pressuring you. Just choose from your heart. I'm not forcing-"

"I choose to go with you, my King." She said almost immediately, cutting me off.

"You do?" I choked out, unsure of what I heard.

"Yes, my King. As long as you want me to." She added.

"Of course I do," I said, trying hard to hide my smile.

"Is the carriage ready?" I asked my men.

"Yes, Alpha. Everything is ready." They responded.

    Alpha Zeus' POV Panic surged through me as I saw Selene's lifeless firm, she was pale and cold. I shook her and tried calling her name several times but she remained silent and still.Fear gnawed at my heart, I need to protect my mate at all costs. I can't lose her, not after years of searching for her, and finally found her. "Move this carriage faster!" I barked at my men, urgency evident in my voice, "We need to get the pack healer, now!"Selene's body was limp and cold in my arms; I pressed my ear to her chest to listen to her heartbeat; they were slow and steady. Goodness! She was still breathing. "Selene, jod on a little longer. We'll get you to a healer and you'll be fine. Please..." I whispered, begging silently. We soon got up the pack house and my men rushed to open the carriage door after halting it to a stop. "Go get the Royal healer now!" I ordered my men to summon the healer upon reaching the pack house. I carried Selene in my arms and raced to my room to lay her d

    King Zeus POV "Go to the throne room and wait for me, I'll join you all there soon," I said to dismiss the elders into the room, ignoring their confused faces.They went to the throne room to wait for me while I gave Selene one last glance before I reluctantly followed them."Thr Luna is currently tired from the journey and she would not like to be disturbed at the moment. You can all check back some other time when she's at least better. " My voice echoed in the throne room. They almost erupted into a loud noise, murmuring amidst each other. The eldest among them greeted me politely as he stood up to talk, "Alpha, we understand how the journey must have been, but don't you think it's right for Luna to at least see us? We don't mean to disturb her but we can assure you that we will not be hard with her." He finished speaking and looked at his fellow elders, who all nodded in agreement to what he had said. "Yes, Alpha. We don't mean to be rude or disturb your mate, but expect babe

    Selene POV“Okay, Alpha,” Jacob, my beta replied politely as he moved out to go look for the architecture like I had said.I rushed off to my office to attend to some last-minute work as I was already sure that Selene was fine and was not going to wake up anytime soon.Soon, news reached me that my mate was now awake. Selene had woken up from her consciousness. I rushed to Selene and sat beside he as she stirred awake and flustered her eyes open.“Z…Zeus,” She said weakly as I took her hands in mine.I groaned in relief, “You're awake?” I asked, my voice was hoarse.She shot me a weak smile, “Yes, I'm fine now.” she smiled weakly.“Don't worry, you're fine,” I assured her.“How long have I been asleep?” she asked glancing around the room.“Some hours but you can still lay back if you need more sleep,” I said, as I helped her adjust her head on the headboard.“It's since, I feel a bit stronger now.” She said as she tried to hide a blush.“Okay then, if you say so,” I added softly, givi

    SELENE POV. I didn't know where I was, and no matter how many times I tried to make sense of my surroundings, all I could see were the towering trees, their dark forms creating shadows, with the full moon's light struggling to break through the clouds passing overhead.It was silent—so silent that even the fall of a pin would have echoed. "Hello..." I called out as I stepped forward; each move I made filled the stillness with the snap of branches underfoot. "Hello," I repeated, feeling utterly lost. Desperation edged my voice, hoping that someone, anyone, would respond and lead me out of this dark unknown.Then, my breath caught in my throat as I saw them: a pair of red eyes fixed on me from deep within the thick jungle. I stepped back, a chill running down my spine, my body froze as fear took over me. The intensity of it threatened to collapse me right there, but I forced myself to stand firm.Slowly, the creature—no, a monster—began to move forward, baring its sharp teeth as it fix

    No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get Zeus out of my mind. I tried everything—sleeping, pacing around the room I was kept in, eating, and doing so many other things—but it was nearly impossible to push him out of my thoughts.I bit my lower lip each time I remembered how rudely I had spoken to him, making it seem as if he had crossed a line when, in reality, he had only been trying to help. Should I have done that? I didn’t have an answer to my question, and it bothered me so much. "Would it be alright if I took a stroll around the garden?" I asked one of the maids, who was busy attending to me and serving my meal. She didn’t respond immediately, just briefly lifted her head to make eye contact before looking down again and saying, "I honestly can’t make that decision for you. We would need to ask the alpha or his beta first to get permission," she replied, and I nodded. She stepped out of the room for a moment, then returned and said, "If you finish your food soon, you can tak

    King Zeus POV "I wonder where she could be..." I thought to myself, searching the palace halls. Just a few minutes ago, a maid had come to request permission, saying Selene wanted to explore the palace, and I had thought maybe allowing her a bit of freedom would bring her some happiness.I still felt genuinely sorry for how I might have made her uncomfortable earlier. Honestly, looking for her wasn’t to confront her; I just wanted to see if she seemed a little happier, roaming outside the room for the first time in a while. That would bring me a bit of peace."Please, spare her, Your Highness... she must have had too much wine," the frantic begging of several maids caught my attention. My ears perked up, and curiosity pulled me toward the scene. What I saw was nothing short of mortifying."You are nothing but a plaything to the Alpha, to be honest. Sooner or later, he won’t care about you; he will discard you, just like your old maid did." If an elder had spoken to Selene this way, t

    King Zeus POV "Is she here yet?" I asked my beta, who looked at me for a moment, then glanced away, shaking his head to signal a no. I took a deep breath, wondering if she was late or if perhaps I was just too early."I don’t understand what this mate bond is all about, but if it makes a man act like this, I am not sure I want it," my beta said with a sarcastic chuckle, his tone filled with humor. I shot him a glare, running my fingers through my hair nervously. “Oh did I say that out loud?” He added "I am completely normal right now," I said, pausing for emphasis. "Completely," I added, trying to convince myself as I bit down on my lower lip. So much for calm.He laughed again, and I gave him another glare. "Fix that look on your face, Alpha King; your queen has arrived," he said, nodding toward her. I turned, and seeing her took my breath away—she was stunning. A feeling I couldn’t quite name stirred inside me. "She is beautiful," Jacob murmured, and I arched an eyebrow, confused.

    SELENE POVI saw the look in his eyes at that very moment—it was hunger. Insatiable hunger. And even though I could see just how much he wanted me, he never let that desire overshadow the care he seemed determined to show me.He listened to me, and even though he didn’t say much, his mere presence was oddly comforting. What made it even more confusing was why I seemed to share the same desire I saw in his eyes right now.I had felt the mate bond with Orion before; it was tempting and frustrating, but it was never this powerful. Never this hard to resist. Something stirred within me as he looked into my eyes, his gaze locked on mine. The feeling of his fingers gently wrapping around my neck as he stared at me intensified everything.My heart beat faster than I wanted it to, and my throat went dry as he said those words that made my core heat up. "I think I would prefer to have the wine this way..." he murmured, his gaze drifting to my lips. I parted them slightly to speak, but it felt

    Candice's POVThe way Susan stared at me after Zeus left made me feel even worse. I wanted to glare at her but I failed miserably. Why? Why was she staring at me? It almost felt like she was gloating."Don't get mad at me, I'm not the one who caused this." She said, chuckling a little.Oh, she found something funny? She had the nerve to laugh at such a critical moment like this? What was so funny?"You could have signaled for me to leave since you had a guest, at least I would have-""You would have still gone ahead and said whatever it is you had wanted to say, and you wouldn't regard my guest because you don't believe that anyone else can bring Alpha Zeus in, except you." She said."Suz, you don't know what has just happened." I cried.She laughed mockingly. "Don't I? Candice, I do know what is going on. Alpha Zeus came here to inform me what Selene did, and I told him that Selene was too innocent and pure to do that of her own accord. He admitted that truly it was her father who in

How dare you do such a wicked thing to Alpha Zeus? Now you have ruined my chances? Never! I will never allow him to slip out of my hands. I will do any and everything in my power to gain him, even if it means serving him myself."Listen, miss, Alpha Zeus isn't in the best of moods now. His company, his pack, his life, there is so much going on now and you are the least problem he wants to add to the list.""I'm not a problem!" I scoffed. "I care about him, I want to help him get through this heartbreak.""Well, he thinks otherwise. He doesn't want you, he doesn't care about you, so I would advise you to leave and not return. At least until his emotions are more stable and more controllable." He explained. Who was this alien and what the hell was he saying? How can he tell me to not bother about Alpha Zeus?

    Zeus's POVMy head hurts so much, even my heart aches. Seeing her cry the way she did made me feel so guilty. But then, how could she do such a thing to me? I thought that Selene was the most innocent of them. How come she even dared to drug me? How did she even do it?Was this why, despite my growing feelings for her, I just didn't feel comfortable enough to allow her to serve me a meal without tasting it? Moon goddess, what have I ever done to deserve this hateful life from you? First, you delay the meeting of my mate for a long time, until I'm 28 years of age, then you brought an Abnormal person for me?As if it's not bad enough, you allowed her to poison me. Gosh, what can I do? When she had said she wanted to tell me something and she seemed so scared, I couldn't guess that somehow it was this. I was rather ready to believe that she had maybe mated with someone else and was now pregnant for them. That would be...Thinking about it, if that was what she had told me, I don't think

    Candice's POVOh my gosh. I can't believe that the innocent-looking Selene dared to poison Zeus. I can't just believe that. And despite my hatred for her, if I hadn't been there when she confessed, I would have never believed her.Oh, but what gladdens me the most is that Zeus chased her away. He looks so distraught, but there's nothing I can't do to fix that. After all, years of being a stripper at a nightclub have taught me a lot about making men happier.I walked over to where he sat, in her bedroom. I stood before him, waiting for him to at least acknowledge my presence."Alpha Zeus, I can tell that you are very pissed about this. Tensed too." I began. "Let me help you with a little physiotherapy that can assist to cure you a little."He didn't respond to me at all, and I felt like he wanted me to go ahead, so I put my hands forward to touch his shoulder, but he easily shrugged me off. I scowled as I didn't understand why he would still not want me to touch him."I understand the

Of course, this will affect Zeus's judgment.I noticed how calm he was, even after hearing what I said. I cried all the more, but somewhere, I had this hope that he would forgive me and say it was okay. I'm not a terrible person like my parents."Did you do it?" That was all he asked.I was too afraid to admit it. I could just say it was a prank and that I never allowed my father to speak to me, but that would only make. I live with the guilt for a longer period. I couldn't deal with it anymore. I have to let it out."Did you do it, Selene?!" He yelled and I shook with fear. I heard a snicker from outside and I felt my blood boil despite my sorry situation."I'm sorry, Zeus-""Don't you dare to take my name from your mouth? You are lying, snitch!" He yelled. It was like someone room a knife and pierced it into my heart, twisting and turning it

    Zeus's POVSo Selene's father was here this morning. Was that where she got those gifts from? Is she the plan her father is talking about? So they want to use her against me? Will she allow herself to be used?I glanced at her and I noticed she was about to cry. My heart ached for her. I could only imagine how she felt, being used by her parents for evil."That's alright, Damian," I said. "Please sit and join us for breakfast."Damian had a look of shock on his face. Was it because I said please? He didn't have to make it look that bad. I ignored the look on his face as well as the look on Selene's face. My mind was stuck at the point where Selene could be the weapon used against me. She had carefully webbed her way through my heart; was she going to allow herself to be used?The way she put her face down, it felt as though something bad was going to happen. I shrugged the feeling off and enjoyed Selene's cooking of gratitude. After the meal, I sent her off to her room while I continu

    Selene's POVMy father, here to see me? Apologizing? This is worse than anything I've ever heard.I stared at the small bottle that stood pretty on my table. How could I trust him to serve the antidote to Zeus? What if it wasn't an antidote? Would I have to test it? But on who would I test it on?I unwrapped the gift he claimed was from his wife. I would never acknowledge that woman as my mother or as a mother, to begin with. She wasn't fit to be called a mother. She never did anything which other mothers did and that was enough reason for me to never call her mother.I noticed freshly baked cookies. I smelled them, and they smelled wonderful; I could detect every ingredient in them, and it was exactly like I used to like when things were easier for me as a member of the household. When Mama and Papa still felt like there would be a chance for me to speak.But thanks to my training, I could also pick up a scent.

    Beta Brent's POVEarly the following morning, I was set on my way to Alpha Zeus's castle. I got into my car and just as I started the engine, my wife hurried out with a package in her hands."What's that?" I asked. "I told you that I don't want to eat now.""It's not for you, silly! It's for Selene. Tell her that I prepared her favorite meal. Tell her we all want her back."I was surprised that my wife even knew what Selene's favorite meal was. This came as a huge shock because I could count the number of times I saw Selene eat at home, and it was less than ten times. Maybe because I was always busy and not usually around. Most times when I returned, she would be in her room, crying or sulking. After a while, she happened to just get used to everything and rather stayed silent."Alright," I said, collecting the flask from her. She also gave me some jewelry and a new dress. Even I was surprised that she was doing so many good things for Selene. I wonder how surprised Selene would be.I

Where are you off to in such a hurry?"I stared at the mother and son that asked me the same question. Of late, whenever I dressed up to go out, they suddenly began to ask me where I was headed."Alpha Rodrigo has summoned me. I have to answer him." I answered. "You can cover the food up for me, honey, when I get back, I will eat.""Oh, but you can't just leave. You-""You know how Alpha Rodrigo is..." I tried to plead.She went quiet.

"which means that she has locked his wolf but hasn't fed him the poison that will kill him.""Well, you can trick her into doing it." I paused and turned to stare at her. "Trick her?""Sure, Dad."
