*Selena*"How… how would I know when you've never told me?" I countered, my voice tinged with a mix of frustration and sorrow."You know, Selena, I'm not good at expressing my feelings. But I'm disappointed that you never felt it," Zander murmured, his voice carrying a note of sadness that tugged at my heartstrings.I took a deep breath before responding, "This isn't my mistake, Zander. Every time we've been together, it's either been making love or discussing the Moonglow pack and our duties. You've never said those three magical words," I complained, innocence lacing my tone."I accept my mistake,” to my surprise, he admitted. “For all those missed moments, I want to say I love you, Selena. I love you so much." His words hung in the air, heavy with longing, before he pulled me into a deep, passionate, and almost hungry kiss."I love you too, Zander. I've loved you all along," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper, my eyes now glistening with unshed tears as I looked into his b
*Selena*Silently, I slipped back into my room, the early morning light casting a gentle glow across the space. The stillness of the hour ensured that there were no prying eyes to question my movements. As I stepped inside, a sense of eerie normalcy greeted me. My room appeared untouched as if the events of the previous night were mere figments of my imagination. Zander had my room settled to its previous condition. But try as I might, I couldn't erase the haunting image of Lola's blood-covered body from my mind.Perching myself upon the bed, I contemplated the next step of my plan. My duties in the kitchen would soon demand my attention. But I had a few moments to collect my thoughts. A gentle knock broke the concentration, rousing me from my contemplation. With slow and measured steps, I crossed the room and swung the door open. Blair stood before me, her face etched with a combination of fear and concern. She spoke, her voice laced with regret, "Selena, are you alright? I wanted
*Selena*As I stepped into the kitchen to carry out my duties, an unsettling feeling immediately enveloped the room. The atmosphere seemed far from normal. A distinct absence lingered, a void left by Lola's departure. The Omegas regarded me with disdain as though I held some responsibility for Lola’s untimely demise. I, too, missed her dearly; her sudden death was a wound that hadn't yet healed. Lola had been more than a friend, a sisterly figure with an unparalleled sweetness.Avery and Eden's expressions were far from welcoming. Their glances conveyed a palpable unhappiness as if my presence there was undesirable. Eden deliberately assigned me an array of arduous and extra chores, attempting to keep me preoccupied. Despite the hardship, I needed to see it through. Time was slipping away, and the urgency of my next move pressed upon me. Eventually, lunchtime came and went, and the kitchen was finally clean. A rare moment of tranquility settled upon me.During breakfast and again at
*Selena*He moved one of my legs over his shoulder, and his warm lips pressed against my wet area. His kisses ignited a shiver through me, intensifying the dampness between my thighs. Sensations of moisture trickling down my skin heightened as he continued his actions.His tongue traced a long path, and as he glanced upwards, his gaze locked onto mine. The sight of him on his knees, pleasuring me, added to the heat of the moment. Gradually, he enclosed my clit between his lips, sucking with fervor that caused my eyes to shut involuntarily, overwhelmed by pleasure.My legs wavered, and I clung to his shoulder for support."Open your eyes, baby," he growled, making me submit to his desire. My eyelids lifted, finding him pleasuring me as if it was his utmost duty. His half-lidded eyes burned with desire, his lips glistening with my arousal. Nuzzling into my wetness, he inhaled deeply, savoring the scent of my desire. His tongue resumed its exploration, diligently licking every inch of m
*Selena*I was taken aback when the person standing before me came to light, and I could see the face clearly. My mind raced, trying to connect the dots and uncover the reason behind this unexpected encounter."So, you are the mastermind behind all of this?!" I asked, shaking my head slowly in disbelief. Out of all the people on my suspect list, I wouldn't have thought that the vampire prince, Damon Shadowborne, could be behind all the conspiracies. "I didn't intend to reveal myself like this, but your persistent demand forced my hand," he replied curtly. His expression was devoid of emotion as he inquired, "Where is the data, Selena?""Oh, the data! Yeah!" I mumbled, collecting my thoughts. "It's in the possession of the Alpha King. I believe it would be best for you to deal with him directly and present your offer," I responded, a wicked smile playing on my lips.Damon's face turned pale, his eyes reflecting shock and disbelief. Before anyone could process the situation, Zander eme
*Selena* I made my way back to the pack house. Zander had ordered one of the soldiers to accompany me.Zander and Maddox left to interrogate Damon and Emile, and the minutes had crawled by as I anxiously waited for their return. The atmosphere in the pack house had shifted, a palpable tension hanging in the air. Whispers and hushed conversations echoed through the hallways, spreading the news faster than wildfire. The entire pack was abuzz with curiosity and concern, gossiping about Damon and Emile.Finally, the moment arrived when Zander and Maddox returned. My eyes immediately sought out Zander's face, searching for any hint of the information he had gathered. His expression was an enigma, his features a mask that betrayed nothing. It was the kind of unreadable demeanor that made it impossible to guess anything.However, it was Maddox who didn't look like himself. His usually strong and composed facade had crumbled, replaced by an expression of utter devastation. "Zander, I told y
*Selena*Zander's kisses were intense, claiming every part of my attention. His lips pressed against mine with such possessiveness that I couldn't think of anything else but him. Each kiss was filled with a fiery passion that left me unable to focus on anything but his touch.His kiss was possessive as if he wanted to claim every part of me. His tongue danced with mine, exploring every nook and cranny of my mouth, igniting a fire within me that I couldn't deny.A shameless moan escaped my lips as his skilled finger thrust into my pussy. His other hand touched me so sensually that it seemed like he knew every secret pleasure point on my body. Our bodies were entangled, and I was lost in the sensation of his mouth on mine and his finger fucking me fervently.But then, Zander abruptly pulled away, leaving me breathless and wanting more. He was panting, his eyes dark with desire, and he looked like a man on the edge."Breath, Selena," he panted, his voice husky, "because I won't be able t
*Zander*I had a son? When did it happen?The very idea seemed surreal, and my mind raced to comprehend this unexpected revelation. As far as I knew, I hadn't been in a sexual relationship after Selena. The pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place, and it could only mean one thing - she had run away with my pup and hidden the truth from me."What's your explanation, Selena?" I demanded, my voice trembling with fury and my heart aching from her betrayal. Just when I believed I could trust her again, she had shattered my trust once more.Selena swallowed, her guilt apparent in her demeanor. "I... I was about to tell you," she stammered, her voice quivering with apprehension."When?" I shouted, my anger surfacing like a tidal wave. "When were you going to tell me?! Every time I thought you had changed, and I could trust you, I would find something that made me believe you were about to run away again this time. What is your purpose, Selena? Why are you here?" I accused, my words
God Kaelvor took me to the Dark Realm with him, and the journey itself was an experience beyond imagination. His realm-traveling ship was unlike anything I had ever seen—crafted from gleaming obsidian and etched with silver runes that pulsed with a faint, rhythmic glow. The air inside was thick with power, a hum of energy that sent shivers down my spine.As we entered the dark realm, I braced myself for an endless void, for a world without light. But instead, we were greeted by a strange sight—there was illumination here, a soft glow from the swirling skies above that bathed the land in hues of violet and deep red. The terrain was rich with bizarre, otherworldly flora that seemed to thrive in the strange light. It wasn’t a barren wasteland, as I’d imagined, but a place that seemed... too alive.The people who walked the cobblestone streets looked anything but normal. They moved with mechanical precision, eyes fixed forward, faces cold and emotionless, as though bound by some unseen fo
"King Jasper," I murmured, keeping my gaze steady. "What are you going to do with the golden trident?" I asked, trying to read his expression.His face remained unreadable, but his grip on the trident tightened. "This weapon holds immense power," he said. "It can also possess whoever wields it, turning them into its slave. Keeping it in my possession would be too dangerous."I frowned. "Then what do you plan to do?""I can’t just leave it behind for another power-hungry monster to find," Jasper continued. "So I’ve decided to destroy it, rendering it useless. That way, its power will be absorbed back into the universe, never to be claimed again."Hearing his decision, I finally felt at ease. It reassured me that Jasper truly wanted peace among shifters and the entire paranormal world.Jasper placed the trident on the ground and instructed, “Take a few steps back.” We did as he said.He then chanted something in a hushed voice before raising his staff. A beam of light shot out, collidi
I looked around, my gaze sweeping over Alpha Albert, Cassandra, and Oliver. They stood beside Damon, their expressions unreadable—but not surprised. So Selena was right. They had been waiting for us to split up, hoping to take advantage and defeat us separately.I let out a low chuckle, my eyes locking onto Damon. “I also didn’t expect you to be hiding like a coward,” I taunted, a smirk curling at my lips. “The great ancient Warlock King—turns out he’s nothing but a weakling.”Damon’s eyes flared with fury as he slammed his golden trident against the cave floor, the impact sending a faint tremor through the ground. “Shut up!” he snarled. “I’m not a coward! I was waiting for the right moment.”“Whatever!” I snorted, my gaze flicking to his so-called army. “Yet here I am, alone, standing right in front of you in your own little domain—and you still need your pathetic lackeys to face me.”“We’ll see who’s pathetic,” Damon sneered, lifting his trident, ready to strike. But when I didn’t m
We followed the signal through the dense forest near the vampire kingdom. The eerie silence of the woods, broken only by the rustling of leaves underfoot, heightened the tension in the air. Suddenly, the signal flickered and then disappeared completely.“What’s going on?” I frowned, glancing at Jasper.His expression darkened as he tapped the tablet screen, trying to revive the lost signal. “She might have entered a magical zone—an area where all technology and external energies become useless.”I exhaled sharply, scanning the surroundings. “Then how do we track her now?”Jasper’s jaw tightened. “That’s exactly why Damon has remained hidden for so long.” He turned to me, his crimson eyes filled with steely determination. “But I’ll figure it out—I have to.”I could sense the weight of his words. Jasper knew as well as I did that Damon wasn’t just in hiding—he was planning something. He would definitely be desperate enough to reclaim a throne that had never rightfully been his. Sudden
*Zander* Selena had left with the High Priestess, and now the world believed we had broken up. To them, she thought I had betrayed her and wanted nothing to do with me. The deception was working as planned, yet the weight of it settled heavily on my chest.I had instructed my Gamma, Ethan, to keep a close watch on Alpha Albert and Anne, tracking their every move. If our suspicions were right, they wouldn’t be able to hide for long. But for now, all I could do was wait.And waiting was excruciating.Hours had passed, and I still hadn’t heard from Selena. The silence gnawed at me like a slow-burning fire. Lyon paced inside me, restless and agitated. Something felt wrong. We both knew the danger lurking in the shadows was closer than ever, and the longer we remained disconnected, the more unbearable the uncertainty became.A sudden mind link broke through my thoughts.‘Austin finally fell asleep,’ Blair’s voice came through, laced with exhaustion. ‘He cried himself to sleep after missin
*Selena*My heart sank at my mother’s sudden appearance. A wave of unease settled in my chest as I took in the solemn expression on her face.“What’s wrong, Mother?” I mumbled, dread creeping into my voice. “Why did you come so urgently to take me back to the Lunar Realm?”She hesitated, her lips pressing together as if choosing her words carefully. “Selena, the day is coming… in three days,” she finally said. “We need to find a way to save the world and to save—” She halted, stepping closer, her warm hand gently clasping mine. There was a softness in her gaze, a deep motherly affection that made my chest tighten. When she spoke again, her voice was barely above a whisper.“You.”A sharp breath left my lips. Three days?! My mind raced, panic clawing at my chest. My hands instinctively moved to my belly, cradling the life growing inside me. Could my baby feel the storm raging inside me? The fear? The uncertainty? I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay strong.I needed time.“What’s g
"What do you want to know, baby?" I tried to coax her, my voice gentle. "I’ve already told you everything about the Dark Alpha."But the fire in her eyes reignited, and I knew I was in deep trouble even before she bellowed—"Alpha King, you better stop giving me lame excuses because I know that’s not true." She gritted her teeth, her frustration palpable. "So, you better start talking!"I sighed, knowing there was no way out of this. "Okay, my Luna," I bowed my head in surrender. "But please, promise me that after knowing the truth, you won’t hate me."Her eyes softened, and the sharp edges of her anger dulled. "I will never hate you, Zander," she whispered with such sincerity that it made my chest tighten. "But I need you to open up to me."Her words struck deep inside my heart, and in that moment, I wanted to bare my soul to her, to tell her everything I hadn't told anyone."I was born with the blessing to be the invincible Alpha and rule the werewolf community. But every gift comes
Just as I was about to step out, Maddox appeared at the doorway, blocking my path.“Luna, wait! Where are you going?” he asked, confusion etched across his face.I clenched my jaw, unwilling to explain.“Luna, I have Alpha’s orders. He told me to stop you—he’s coming home to talk to you,” he said, his tone firm, obeying his Alpha like the loyal Beta he was.I let out a bitter laugh. “Tell him to go to hell. I don’t care what he has to say—I’m leaving, and that’s final.”Maddox exhaled heavily, his expression torn. “Please, Luna,” he pleaded. “Don’t leave without talking to him first.”I glared at him, my eyes burning with the pain I was barely holding in. “Do you even know what he did to me?” I spat, my voice trembling.Maddox hesitated before answering. “Luna, I don’t know what you saw or what you think happened,” he admitted, sincerity clear in his voice. “But I do know one thing—Alpha loves you more than anything. He wouldn’t do something like this to you.”I shook my head, scoffin
*Selena*I didn’t know why Zander had texted me to meet him at this hotel, but I hurried over, excitement bubbling inside me. Maybe he had a surprise planned, or maybe he just wanted us to have some intimate time together. Either way, the thought sent a thrill through me.My heart pounded as I reached the room number he had mentioned. I smoothed down my dress, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door, waiting for him to open it.A few moments passed before the door finally swung open. But instead of Zander, Anne stood in the doorway—her robe barely tied, revealing far too much skin beneath it.My stomach dropped."Oh, Se… Selena…" she stammered, her voice laced with nervousness. She quickly pulled the robe tighter around herself, but the damage was already done.A cold dread washed over me. "What… what are you doing here?" My voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper.Anne hesitated before forcing an awkward smile. "I… uh… I could ask you the same thing."I narrowed my eyes. "I
