Chapter 39: Jiya’s Love Story“Are you sure we can really do this?” Jiya asked me for the fifth time since we left the palace. I turned to gaze out of the train window, letting a small smile curve my lips.“Yes, we can, Jiya. The twins wanted to see vast green fields, flower farms, and gardens—somewhere far from the chaos of the palace,” I replied gently.From the corner of my eye, I noticed her looking at me with a puzzled expression. “Why does it feel like you’re the one who needs this escape?”I turned to her and chuckled softly. “Right. You’re not wrong,” I admitted, taking a deep breath. “This is exactly what I need, too. It’s just a short trip, Jiya. We’ll be back at the palace before Reagan even notices we’re gone.” I glanced at the twins, peacefully sleeping beside us.She frowned, clearly still uneasy. “But no one knows we left the palace, let alone the city. What if His Majesty comes back unexpectedly? He’ll lose his mind looking for you and the twins,” she said, her tone fi
Chapter 40: No, She's Not"Wake up, Sky and Abi. We’re almost there," I said softly, my hands gently patting their arms.The two woke up slowly, rubbing their eyes. "That was fast, Mom," Sky mumbled through a yawn.I chuckled at his sleepy tone. "It’s been an hour, baby. Come on now, the train is about to stop," I said, giving them an encouraging smile.Abigail’s face lit up as the realization dawned on her. She shook Sky’s shoulder, jolting him from his drowsiness."Come on, Sky! Let’s look out the window and watch the train stop!" Abigail exclaimed, her excitement contagious."Huh?" Sky blinked groggily, still half-asleep."The train! Sky, wake up!" she repeated, her enthusiasm unwavering. With a reluctant groan, Sky opened his eyes, his movements sluggish, almost robotic."Are we there yet?" he asked, glancing around the compartment.I couldn’t help but smile at the two of them. They were adorable, even in moments like this.“Wow, we’re really here!” Sky exclaimed, his energy sudde
Chapter 41: Thick SkinSelina's POVThe situation turned awkward fast. I couldn’t decide whether I should call Jiya and take her to our room to save her from her ex-mate, or let the two of them talk it out.I bit my inner bottom lip and took a deep breath. Holding my twins’ hands, I finally called Jiya’s attention.“Um, Jiya, should we head out now?” I asked uncertainly.She looked at me briefly, then back at Aamon. “It’s nice to see you again, but unfortunately, we need to leave,” she said seriously.Aamon nodded, but his eyes betrayed his reluctance. “Sure, see you around then.”Jiya gave him a curt nod and walked over to us.That was... uncomfortable.As we started heading to our room, I couldn’t hold back my curiosity. “So, that’s your ex-mate?” I asked her.She sighed deeply and nodded slowly. “Yes, he is,” she answered quietly. Her expression made it clear her thoughts were elsewhere.“Are you okay, Jiya?” I asked, concerned.She bit her lip and turned to me. “I realized somethi
Chapter 42: Was It Confusion?Selina's POV"Are you okay?" I asked Jiya as we ate dinner together. She glanced at me briefly before nodding. "Yeah, I had a good nap earlier," she replied.I stared at her, unconvinced. She didn’t look like she had slept at all, but I decided not to point it out. Instead, I shifted my gaze to the twins, who were happily devouring their meals."Anyway, sorry I couldn’t take you out earlier," Jiya said, pulling my attention back to her."There’s always tomorrow, so don’t worry," I replied with a reassuring smile. She nodded, but something about her demeanor felt off. It was strange to see her so downcast.Maybe it’s the weight of everything that happened today.When I first saw Reagan again while I was in disguise, I felt a whirlwind of emotions—sadness, anger, and fear that he might uncover the truth.Even though our situations are different, I understand how Jiya feels. Right now, all I can do is support her. She was always there for me when I needed he
Chapter 43: Let's Talk Selina's POV Why is he here? I thought he wasn’t coming back right away? I stood frozen, staring at him, unable to find the right words. He closed the space between us, his piercing gaze making me feel uneasy. “What are you doing here without telling me?” he asked sternly. I rolled my eyes and gave him a slight push. “We’ll talk later. Go check on Sky inside—he’s been in there for a while and hasn’t come out,” I replied, trying to deflect. He studied me for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Later tonight,” he said firmly, before heading inside. I exhaled in relief once he was gone. What am I supposed to do now? Should I explain myself or not? But why should I? He’s the one who forgot about this vacation, not me. The only thing I might’ve done wrong is not telling anyone at the palace where we were going—not even the beta assigned to watch over us. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Reagan and Sky coming out of the bathroom. Sky was grinning from ear
Chapter 44: Promise Ring Selina's POV "Follow me," he said seriously. I nodded, my heart racing as I silently followed him. I wasn’t sure why I was so nervous. We were just going to talk, after all. But wait, why is it so quiet? Where are the other visitors? It feels like it’s just the two of us here. Even the workers are nowhere to be seen. Where could they have gone? "Did you book a room?" I asked, glancing around. There wasn’t enough space in the room I reserved. It only had a double bed. He glanced at me briefly, then shook his head. What? He didn’t book a room? Where was he planning to stay? "I rented the whole place, Selina," he said, making my eyes widen even more. He did what? My mind raced. Why would he do that? He stopped walking and turned to face me, his gaze intense. "You don’t know the horror I felt when I learned that no one knew where you were, or where the twins were either," he said softly, his voice tight as if it might break. I stood still, my chest tighten
Chapter 45: You're the One Who Cheated Selina's POV I woke up abruptly, a sudden memory jolting me. Sunlight streamed through the room. The twins—are they okay? Did they make it back to their room safely? I turned to see Reagan sleeping soundly beside me. I nudged his shoulder gently. "Reagan, wake up!" I whispered, shaking him lightly. We have to get up now. We’re supposed to explore Casa Miracle before heading back to the palace. "Reagan? Hey, wake up!" I said, a little more irritated this time. He groaned but didn’t budge. I frowned, watching him roll over and pull me closer instead of waking up. "Reagan! Get up already! If you don’t, I’m leaving you here!" I snapped, slapping his arm lightly. His eyes fluttered open, and he smiled at me, his voice husky as he murmured, "Relax, babe. Can’t we stay here just a little longer?" "No," I replied firmly. "We have plans, remember? If you don’t want to join, then stay here. I’m leaving." He chuckled and released me, sitting up laz
Chapter 46: Crazy For You Selina's POV It’s nice to see that Jiya is slowly getting better. She’s currently playing with the twins while Reagan and I are setting up the tent we’ll use tonight. “Let’s finish this quickly so we can take them to the flower garden. Abigail mentioned last time that she wanted to see lots of flowers,” I said to Reagan. He glanced at me with a small smile. “Sure. After the flower garden, I know a nearby waterfall we can visit too,” he replied. My smile widened at his words. A waterfall! It’s been such a long time since I’ve visited a place like that. “I’d love that,” I said enthusiastically. Reagan nodded, smiling softly in return. After a few more minutes, we finally finished setting up the tent. Reagan took my hand, and together, we walked over to the twins. The twins beamed with excitement as they ran toward us. “Is it ready, Mom, Dad? I can’t wait to see the flower garden!” Abigail exclaimed, hugging me tightly. I brushed her hair lovingly. “Yes,
Chapter 81: Great Pretender Selene's POV (Selina)Chapter 81As I stood before the towering and majestic castle, a strange sense of familiarity washed over me. It felt as if I had been here before—perhaps three months ago.Maybe this place is connected to my cultivation. I brushed off the thought and shifted my gaze to Celine, the so-called Moon Goddess.She even chose a name similar to mine. Well, her deception wouldn’t have been as effective if she had used a completely different one.A large number of knights and kingdom officials stood outside the palace, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Celine.At the entrance of the palace, four man emerged.If I’m not mistaken, the man in the center must be the king—the great ruler of the Lycan Kingdom.My gaze moved to the woman beside him. She was holding onto the king’s arm, her smile wide and radiant. She looked proud, almost as if she was basking in the moment.I assume she’s the queen. A strange, almost painful sensati
Chapter 80: Fake Moon Goddess Selene's POV (Selina)"It is our honor to have you here, Goddess Selene. May you bless us always," King Azeri of the Vampire Kingdom said as he bowed.I nodded. "May the Moon shine upon your kingdom." His smile widened."Thank you." Upon hearing that, I turned to Ofelia. She nodded and approached me."I'm going to the Lycan Kingdom unannounced," I said seriously. She looked at me, puzzled."Do you perhaps remem—" She cut herself off as if realizing something. "I mean, why are you going there three days earlier than scheduled?"My expression grew even more serious. "Someone told me that someone is stealing my identity." She slightly gasped at my words.Her brows furrowed. "What? That's outrageous! You don't have to go and deal with that person yourself. Let me handle it, and I'll show her—"I held her hand to calm her down."I'm going there in three days anyway, so I might as well go now to assess the situation. Besides, I can handle it myself," I said.S
Chapter 79: Into the Abyss Selina's POVAll I know is that if I don’t run fast enough, this could be my end. I can’t die now. I can’t leave my children behind in this cruel world.I pushed myself to run even faster when I felt them getting closer. My body was growing weaker, exhaustion creeping in, pain seeping into my muscles.“Don’t stop, Selina. Keep running,” I kept telling myself. But I cursed under my breath when I suddenly found myself at the edge of a cliff.I was about to change direction, but it was too late. They caught up to me. Is this the end?"You criminal, shift back to your human form!" they demanded. I gritted my teeth and growled in anger.I glanced at the depth of the cliff. I cursed again when I realized how deep it was. Will I survive if I choose to jump rather than surrender to them?"You can't run now!" They moved closer. I won’t surrender without a fight. The first one who lunged at me—I bit his throat without hesitation, killing him instantly.I saw the alar
Chapter 78: ChaseSelina's POV I immediately went to the location mentioned in the message. I didn’t bother looking for Jiya to tell her because I didn’t want her to get caught up in this mess.I want to save the twins alone. I want to face the person behind all this chaos. If Giselle is the mastermind of all this, I will never forgive her.I looked around, searching for the twins or anyone who could tell me where the children were.Why did everything have to come to this? Why do my children have to suffer because of their anger and jealousy? I left him, didn’t I? I gave them what they wanted.What more do I have to do? I stopped walking and took a deep breath. This is not working."Sky, Abi. Where are you? Mommy's here," I called their names softly while looking around.Tears kept falling down my cheeks. I don’t know what I would do if I lost them. I feel so terrible. I keep blaming Reagan for failing to protect them.But the truth is, I’m the one to blame. I’m always with them, tak
Chapter 77: MissingSelina's POVI slowly opened my eyes and felt Reagan wrap his arms around my waist as he hugged me from behind. I could tell by the rhythm of his breathing and the constant beating of his heart that he was still asleep.I carefully removed his arm from my waist. Luckily he didn't wake up. The events of last night came back to me.My cheeks flushed in embarrassment. God, I did it again. Damn that weakness. I groaned softly and turned to look outside. The sun's rays hit my face, forcing me to cover my eyes from the brightness.I bit my bottom lip and took a deep breath. I let my emotions override my logic last night. I shouldn't have done that. But strangely, there was no hint of regret in my heart.I looked at Reagan again. He slept so peacefully. His wounds were starting to heal and I couldn't believe he still had the strength to hold me last night.I bit my lip and sighed. Ugh, forget it. Anyway, I felt like I forgot something important. My eyes widened as I reali
Chapter 76: Giving InSelina's POVBefore I could reach the door, he pulled me back, trapping me against the wall. My eyes widened in shock.What?He closed his eyes tightly. "For once, Selina, be honest with your feelings," he said with urgency, his gaze sharp as it locked onto mine."Stop being stubborn. Stop pushing me away. I know I hurt you, and that’s why you don’t want me to stay. But please, I don’t believe that there’s no trace of love left for me in your heart," he said, his voice filled with sorrow.I pressed my lips together tightly, turning my head to avoid his gaze. Honest with myself? Yes, he was right, I still loved him. But what good would my love do? Nothing.He only caused me pain, never returning the love I gave. Was I wrong to be cautious with him now? I didn’t want to feel that pain again, the repeated humiliation of loving him."So tell me, Selina. Say that you don’t love me, and I’ll let you go completely," he said hoarsely. He rested his forehead against mine
Chapter 75: Tears And KissesSelina's POVI released a deep sigh as I watched him, still lying motionless in bed. He looked peaceful, but I knew better. He wasn’t getting better. Not yet.I’d done everything I could—cleaned his wounds, treated him. But there was only so much I could do.Biting my lower lip, I let out another shaky breath. Don’t care. Don’t worry about him. I had told myself I wouldn’t. But here I was, caught in the same cycle, fretting over him.I pressed my lips together and whispered, “You’re really something else, Reagan,” before standing up from my chair.Now that I’d done my part, I could leave and return to the twins. It was time to go.But just as I turned to walk away, his hand shot out, gripping my wrist with surprising strength. My heart skipped a beat.He pulled me toward him, and before I could react, he pinned me down on the bed. His eyes were still closed, his grip firm, but his face was contorted with something far deeper than sleep.He must be dreaming
Chapter 74: You're Safe NowSelina's POVI stopped in my tracks when a loud knock echoed through the door. My brows furrowed. Who could be knocking at this hour?A wave of nervousness and alertness washed over me. I glanced over to see Jiya step out of her room, her expression mirroring mine.Another knock followed. I pressed my lips together. No intruder would knock like that. But who else could it be?Jiya came down, and now there were two of us standing in front of the door. As I reached for the doorknob, she gripped my hand tightly.I looked at her, and she shook her head. "The last time someone knocked on the door, you ended up in danger," she said, her voice tinged with worry.She was right. But we couldn’t turn away now. Maybe it was an emergency. Someone might need my help. I squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Everything will be alright," I said softly.Her eyes filled with tears. "I can't help it. What happened before... it’s left a mark on me. I can’t bear the thought of losin
Chapter 73: Moon GoddessSelina's POVThey ran even faster as they neared the starting line. Abi was in the lead, but the gap between her and Sky was minimal.In just a few seconds, the race ended, with Abi emerging as the winner. They shifted back into their human forms.I quickly handed each of them a towel to cover themselves. Abigail was overjoyed with the results, while Sky chuckled, knowing he could never beat his sister—not yet, at least.He's still young and was frail as a child. He didn’t get the chance to train his body or enhance his abilities for this kind of competition."See? I told you I’m faster than you!" Abigail teased, grinning widely. Instead of being annoyed, Sky laughed along."Okay, fine. You win this time. But this isn’t over, sister. Someday, I’ll beat you!" he declared with determination. Abi laughed even louder."I’ll be waiting," she replied with a mischievous smile. I shook my head, amused, and turned to Jiya."Go change," I told her.She nodded and went o
