Selena’s POVMy head ached so badly when I woke up. I couldn't move for a while as my body hurt too but with a lot of struggle, I managed to get up and when my eyes adjusted to the place, I wasn't in the study again but in a room, this time and I wondered if it was Raymond that brought me here or if he ordered someone to do it.Sighing to myself, I came down from the bed and headed for the bathroom. I was sure the day was almost coming to an end again and I hadn't had a bath yet so I decided it was best I used the opportunity to wash myself up before I began to hatch another plan on how to stop Raymond from harming alpha.I turned on the lights before I walked into the bathroom and the first thing I did was look in the mirror. I was almost taken aback at the sight of blood on my forehead but I quickly composed myself before I turned on the tap and I slowly rinsed my face to get the already-dried blood off.It took a while but soon, I was done and I took my clothes off then I turned on
Selena's POVI finished my lunch almost immediately I started eating and when I was done, I just sat on the bad and I looked around the room which lasted for probably hours. I didn’t have a watch so I couldn’t tell if it was late or not but I was sure it would be evening already.I figured the door would be locked so I didn't bother trying to check but after trying to put myself to sleep for a while, I got bored and I wanted to leave the room so badly.So I decided to try one more time, hoping that luck would be on my side and the door would be open. Taking in a deep breath, I stood up and went for the door, then I stared at the knob for a while before I closed my eyes to prepare myself, then I finally took the knob and I turned.I heard a click immediately and the door gave away to me. Joy washed over me as I saw the door was not locked which meant Raymond probably left it open for me intentionally or he walked out angrily when I pissed him off and forgot to lock the door. I was sur
Selena’s POVI waited for Alpha to catch his breath again due to the pains he was feeling in his ribs before he would tell me what his plan was and it was taking quite a while. I was patient enough though so I waited and just when he was about to speak and I inched closer to hear, light from nowhere suddenly flashed at us and in panic, I turned around to see who had caught me only to see it was Ava and I snorted in disappointment. speaking of the witch herself.A wide grin was on her face, her eyes stared wickedly at me and she kept on shining the light from the torch on my face.“Well, what do we have here? Someone is sneaking to see a criminal” she said in a sing-song voice mockingly and I folded my fists in anger. I was about to stand up and face her for the first time because honestly, I didn't think I had anything to lose again after all that had happened to me and alpha for the past day but alpha held me back and I looked back at him.He linked his mind with mine before telling
Selena’s POV I was still grinning at Ava as I watched with glee, how her eyes went wide with anger in them and her nostrils flared as she watched me laughing to my satisfaction. She looked like she couldn't take it anymore and was going to lose it further than she already had and the goal was to drive her crazy until she would hit me and then end up regretting it when Raymond would find out what she did.She shifted in her chair uncomfortably as she watched me laughing and when she had gotten to her limit, she stood up from her chair and came at me with speed.Suddenly, she slapped me on the right cheek. Before I could recover from the hit and burn, her palm hit me hard on my left cheek too, making the pain double and I hissed in pain while she grinned this time while staring down at me.“Who's smiling now bitch?” she asked and when the pain was okay to endure, I smiled back.“I'm not crying though,” I said and she gritted her teeth hard before she slapped me again.“I told you I’m t
Selena's POVMy lids began to flicker as consciousness streamed back into me. Then I remembered everything that happened and how I got to be wherever I was now and I opened my eyes immediately before sitting up with a start.I was back in the room where Raymond had kept me before but this time, the huge windows opposite the bed were opened and the bright sunlight was streaming in.The brightness hurt my eyes and my head hurt too due to how fast I sat up and I figured it was because of the hit I got from Ava. I remembered how Raymond held her tight by the neck and choked her and I chuckled to myself because it served her right.It was high time that someone placed her where she belonged so she would know that she shouldn't be hitting me like that.When I had finally fully woken up, I got down from the bed and headed for the bathroom to take in my appearance in the mirror and when I did, I was a mess.There were still imprints of fingers on my cheeks and the spot where I got hit by Ava
Selena’s POVThe door opened and I quickly turned around to look and it was Raymond. He was still having a blank and indifferent look on his face and I could tell that he was obviously pissed at me.He dropped the clothing on the bed then he took a step back from me before he pointed at the clothes on the bed.“Those are the clothes that you wanted so badly,” he said while pointing at them and I didn't say a word to him as I picked them up from where he threw them then I looked at him, expecting him to get the hint and turn around or walk out of the room so I could dress up but he just looked back at me, not getting the message I was trying to pass through.“I need to dress up Raymond so you would have to look away or give me full privacy by leaving the room,” I told him, and still with a blank face, he turned around to walk out of the room but then he stopped and looked back at me.“Five minutes and I'm coming back in,” he said and with that, he walked out of the room.I made a face
Selena’s POVI was still screaming out in anger, I wanted to remain in denial that Alpha was actually gone but the glaring sight of his burnt-up body with ashes as remains couldn't get out of my head.I couldn't stop staring too and I couldn't bring myself to scream out my agony anymore. I wasn't numb but I didn't know how else to show my misery and how heavy my heart felt.Everyone was staring at me like I was crazy. They stared like I had lost my mind, because I was the only one crying and wailing for a person they assumed to be a criminal but what they didn't know was that they just killed their alpha. They all contributed to his death so even if the truth were to be exposed at that moment that he was the alpha, they would all just plead with Raymond to cover it up for them because they were ignorant and that was how alpha's death was going to be covered up.Raymond had thought it all through thoroughly and it was very obvious that he had planned this for years. He didn't want to c
Selena’s POVI took one last look around me to be sure no one saw me come in and when I didn't catch any sight of anyone watching from a corner or the silhouette of anybody in the dark, I sighed in relief because that was one step in getting Raymond out of the way down. All I had to do now was to find my way into the palace discreetly and get a silver knife while making sure no one would see me.Making sure my footsteps were silent, I dashed into the palace through the back passage and I made sure to watch for anyone’s presence in case I was to bump into anybody while making my way into the palace. The passage hadn't been used for years so there was a high possibility that I won't run into a single soul until I got to my destination but I didn't want to take any chances. I still made sure I was alert, careful, and watchful so I would knock anyone that saw me out immediately before he or she would throw a fuss or cause an alarm by calling for others… I couldn't risk letting my plan get
Selena’s POVTWO DAYS LATER…I just stood and watched as the soldiers picked their weapons one after the other and hand laid on my shoulder. I turned to look and it was Alpha. Our eyes met and he smiled at me before he wiggled his eyebrows and I couldn’t hold back my laughter at how silly he looked. I couldn’t figure it out, how could he be so calm and relaxed when we were about to do something that would determine if we were going to live or not?“Don’t worry, it will all be fine. It’s just a matter of time and this will all be over, you’re my badass luna so I trust you to bring those men to their knees when we get there” he said before he gently held me by my chin and I nodded after we shared a very intense gaze that said a lot of things.I couldn’t even die when I had him. I was going to bring all those guards down with everything I had because I wanted to be with Alpha and nothing was going to change that. Nothing was going to take him from me.“I’ll be fine too Alpha, and it wil
Selena’s POVI finally woke up and I found myself in a room that I had never been or seen before. Once I was fully awake after taking in everything around me with my eyes, I sat up with a start while wondering where I was because I couldn't remember coming to such a place and the last thing I could remember was a blurry memory of how I was laying in Alpha’s hands and he looked extremely angry but I wasn’t even sure if that actually happened.Or did Raymond change my room after finding out I passed out? I thought to myself as I sat still in the bed while listening attentively for any sound to know if someone was coming or not.Suddenly, the door went open and I just froze as I stared at the person that opened the door with wide and scared eyes and I watched as his eyes went wide too when he saw I was awake. Then he closed the door again and I heard his footsteps as he ran off to where I didn’t know and I was left more confused as I wondered what was happening.I didn’t know the person
Selena’s POVIt was a difficult task to have to endure everything that Raymond did to me and on a few occasions, I felt my will breaking but when I remembered that Lily was going to come for me and I was going to be with Alpha soon, my resolve to endure it all only got stronger and I could see the frustration on Raymond’s face, he was getting tired because I wasn’t yielding but then, he should have known that.I’m a soldier or I could say I was a soldier and I will always stick to the rule of secrecy because that’s what we do for our teammates all the time.Raymond stopped electrocuting me for the hundredth time and I couldn’t even feel anything again after the shock died down in my body but my head was still ringing and my nose was bleeding. I was sure that I also had scratches on my face from his punches and slaps to get me to talk and my face stung so bad due to the sweat that kept running down nonstop.“So you aren’t going to say anything Selena?” Raymond asked me as he sat opposi
Alpha’s POVI wasn’t calm and Lily could see it too. I just kept on pacing to and fro in the room and I couldn’t even bring myself to leave for the night because I was scared that Raymond could do something to Selena by harming her. That was if he hadn’t begun torturing her already and just the thought of that got me more infuriated and scared for her sake.“Damn it Lily, what do we do now? We have to get her out of there before he hurts her beyond her limit. We can’t just leave her there with him to have his way and you know that, she’s my mate and it is my duty to protect her, I can’t just let her remain there for him to have his way with her. He’s going to blame her for these attacks and would want to know everything by forcing her to tell him what she knows. I trust Selena to not say anything but I don’t trust Raymond, that bastard would go to any length to get what he wants and I really hope he doesn’t kill her while doing that” I rambled on and on while Lily just sat down silent
Selena’s POVWhen I woke up, I was sure that a lot of time had passed and the room was completely dark so I couldn’t even make out or recognize where I was. There was a little stream of light coming through the little window that was up high in the wall though and I could tell from the moon light that it was already night and I wondered if Alpha had gone through with the plan. I wondered if Lily would be able to tell him about my predicament and I couldn’t help but also wonder what he was going to do about it.I hoped that he wasn’t going to lose his cool and do something rash because it could get him caught by Raymond and that was going to be the end of our plan so I only hoped that he was still going to go ahead with the plan without letting his feelings get the best of him while I faced Raymond and whatever he was going to do to me.Then I tried to move from the chair where I sat but I then realized I was tied up and I couldn’t move an inch unless the ropes were loosened. Grunting
Selena’s POVWe began to train and training was fun for me. I was feeling good after seeing the defeated look on Raymond’s face and the want to see him like that the more was just so strong that it was hard for me to fight it.Laisha, who was training with me as I threw punches at the bag that she held suddenly let the bag go before she sat on the floor and she crossed her arms to make an X sign while I looked at her, while wondering why she suddenly stopped.“I get that you’re ecstatic and all Selena, but girl! You’re going to break my arms if you keep on throwing strong punches like that!” she exclaimed and I burst into a loud laughter when she was done speaking because I never expected that would be her reason for stopping the training with me.“But I wasn’t throwing punches that were that hard though” I tried to defend myself with a playful smile on my face and she shook her head immediately before she stopped drinking from the bottle of water in her hand.“I totally disagree. My
Selena’s POVAfter eating, we finally began our discussion about the next plan that we had to work on immediately before Raymond would be able to get new soldiers because that was just going to make our effort be in vain and we would have to start all over again. “So what next Alpha, are we doing anything this time or will it just be you and the soldiers?” Lily asked Alpha and he sighed before he wrapped his arms around my waist since I was still sitting on his thighs and he was silent for a while, like he was deep in thought before he finally spoke.“I want us to get the random attacks over with quickly and from my calculation, three attacks would do it to weaken the palace’s security so we have two more attacks to carry out before the big one” he said then he averted his gaze from where he was staring into space and looked at Lily.“The next attack is going to be tonight again. I know Raymond like the back of my hand and I know he would think whoever the attackers are won’t return
Selena’s POVI was excited and I couldn’t deny that but a part of me was still anxious and I knew it was because I hadn't seen Alpha yet to be sure that he was completely fine. I still couldn’t stop smiling though and it was because I knew that Alpha succeeded and didn't get hurt in the course of the attack. After all, they didn't get any of them and knowing that he was fine was another reason to be so happy but I still wanted to see him.Also, in a matter of time, it wasn’t going to be too long until we would be able to retrieve the pack from Raymond… Once we had weakened the pack’s security, it was going to be easy to defeat him and it was only a matter of time before that happened, it didn’t seem so far away anymore. Feeling overwhelmed with excitement, I squealed out loud to myself before I fell on the bed and let out a sigh while Laisha and Lily just watched me with smiles on their faces too. We were all happy and it was very obvious, now the next thing was to meet Alpha the nex
Selena’s POVIt felt like the days were moving even faster than they were and it wasn’t a bad thing for me, it only meant we were going to get our mission over with faster and Raymond was finally going to be out of the picture while the pack would be restored back to the way it was but a part of me was getting nervous and I knew it wasn’t like me. I was always the brave one who takes the first step and gets into most missions before thinking it through but now, I was getting scared before we even started anything and I knew just why.This time, I had someone to lose and I was scared of losing him. What I had with Raymond was never going to last but I could see myself spending many days with Alpha once we were through with this mission but that could only happen if he stayed alive and didn’t get hurt until the end of everything for me… for the two of us because it would all seem futile if anything bad happened to him and I ended up losing him. I didn’t even want to think of the possib
