Selena’s POVLily finally finished adding her finishing touches to my face and she was done minutes later and when I looked in the mirror, I almost couldn't recognize myself as I stared speechlessly while touching my face in shock to be sure I was actually the one I was staring at through the reflective glass.“It's always like this first time but you'll get used to it soon,” she said and I grinned before collecting myself back together and I kept the facial expression and posture that would show my confidence just as she had taught me.“Woah! I look different!” I exclaimed and she smiled.“Do you like it?” she asked me and I grinned as I placed my hands on my lap and looked at her through the mirror.“Do I like it? No, I love it Lily” I replied and she laughed at my response before she walked off to the closet, and soon, she was back with a pair of shoes for me.The heels weren't too high and I was glad about that because I wasn't used to walking in heels.“I figured that you won't b
Selena's POVI and Raymond still shared a look and I wondered what was running through his mind at that moment. I wondered about what he could possibly be thinking about and I wondered if my and Lily's plan was working.I took another sip from my wine before I gently returned the glass to the table then I looked at him.“As I said, I wanted to surprise you…” then I stopped before leaning in closer to him so he would get a strong wisp of my perfume and I took my lips closer to his ear.“And I thought about everything carefully. Let's just say I decided to stick to the side that would benefit me” I whispered in his ear so no one would know what we were talking about then I pulled back from him and he was looking at me with eyes full of surprise. Just the reaction I expected to see when I told him what I just said.“Are you serious Selena? You aren't pulling my legs, are you? Have you really forgotten about everything and decided to work with me?” He asked me so many questions at a time
Selena's POVSoon, I was done having my bath and I left the bathroom for the room. Lily was seated at the table and she had a smile on her face once she saw me.“Someone did her part perfectly earlier tonight,” she said teasingly and I grinned back at her in glee.“I’m glad I met your expectations” I replied before I made my way toward the closet and she followed suit.I pulled a night dress from the wardrobe before I turned to look at her where she stood watching me and she raised her brows at me.“Why’re you staring at me?” She asked with a wide smile on her face and I shrugged.“You know you don’t have to go to the maid's quarters to sleep right?” I asked and she shrugged too.“Glad you're inviting me into your room then. I may be training you and all to help alpha get back his throne but you are still his mate and that makes you the luna so the respect should be there” she said and I laughed.“Please don't say that Lily, it just sounds so weird and I don't like that. You're my men
Alpha's POVI didn't want to be understanding but then I had no choice but to play along with her because I was trying to be understanding. Funny right?She was being honest though and the funny thing is I completely understood what she was trying to say but I wasn't sure if she was being completely honest with me because it seemed like she had more on her mind. She was on edge.I just had to let it go though, if she didn't want to talk about it, then I had to let her take her time until she was ready to come to me to bare her whole thoughts and fears but until then, I had to keep on playing according to her cards and support her for any decisions she makes about us.She was the only hope I had in helping me get my throne back from Raymond so I had no choice but to keep on being understanding until we got this major issue which was Raymond out of the way. It was the only thing we should be concentrating on at the moment.I jumped over the fence to the palace after making sure no one w
Selena's POVI walked back into the room after Alpha was gone and Lily was giving me a teasing look with a smile on her face.“What?” I asked her and she shrugged while giving me a clueless look and I rolled my eyes at her.“Come on just spill it already” I urged her and she laughed before she came toward me and placed her arm on my shoulder.“You and alpha seem to be getting along just fine and simple” she said and I laughed as I realized what she was trying to talk about then I took her hand off my shoulder before I looked at her.“There's nothing going on so you should keep your curiosity to the minimum” I said and she just sighed before giving me a long look and then walked away to the bed where she took the blanket off completely for me.“You should get to sleep, tomorrow is a long day for us” she said and I nodded before I walked past her and took the blanket from her.“So where would you sleep tonight?” I asked her and she shrugged again while looking around the room.“I don’t
Selena’s POVShifting was quite hard for me and that was when I knew that I had slacked off a lot. It had been a while and now, it was having its effects on me and it wasn't a good thing due to the situation that I was in. I had to work harder on my fighting skills if I knew I really wanted to be a help to alpha and not a bother.With that thought in mind, I connected my mind with that of my wolve’s and I growled lowly before I concentrated at the best I could before I focused all of my energy on my werewolf energy and began to shift for the fourth time.My bone snapped and cracked gradually and I howled and growled as I felt my skin expanding and changing into fur then after a while, I was completely in my werewolf form. I glanced at Lily before turning to Laisha and from the looks on their faces, they looked impressed which meant this time was way better than the first three times that I shifted. That felt encouraging and I suddenly wanted to practice more.I shifted back to my huma
Selena's POVI took my time to have my bath in the bathroom because honestly, I was reluctant about going down there for the coronation of Raymond into becoming the new alpha when Alpha was still very alive.I turned off the shower when I was done having my bath and washing my hair, then I walked to the mirror and stared for a long time as I watched the water that was left on my hair drip down to the floor.I didn't want to dress up just to look good for Raymond again. I hated the fact that he was the sole reason why I was playing dress up because if I wanted to look good, I wanted to do it on my own volition and not for a man that was a psychopath and was likely going to kill everyone around him one day due to his blind anger that he couldn't control.Sighing to myself, I took my gaze off the mirror before I took the towel that hung on the wall and I used it to dry my hair before returning to the room.Lily was holding a dress in her hand as I came out and it was purple in color… I a
Selena's POVWe walked down the passage that led to the stairs as usual and many guards were situated around the stairs when we got there. I and Lily looked at each other upon seeing them and I kind of figured that it was because of the coronation that they were that many so we didn't need to panic about anything.We walked down the stairs together with Lily in my front and the guards bowed down to me one after the other after the moment they saw me.I could see them giving numerous quick glances at me just to stare at my dress and my new look with the same shock from the previous night on their faces and I met each of their gazes with an icy look that made them look away immediately. I hated the way they all stared at me so I had to make them stop staring. I was the luna and I had the power to do that… With just one look and it was done.“Good job” Lily whispered to me, referring to how I confidently stopped those guards from staring at me by glaring at them, then she walked ahead o
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
