Chapter 59: Poison Selina's POV A muffled scream escaped my lips as I struggled to free myself from the grip of the knights holding my arms. Damn it! What are they planning to do with me? "Is this really the right thing to do, Mom? What if Reagan comes back?" I overheard Giselle said. "You're too soft, Giselle. You'll get nothing by showing kindness," Charlotte replied coldly. "But--" "No more buts. Reagan isn't coming back," Charlotte said firmly, her eyes shifting toward me. My jaw clenched in fury. "This is just tea. She's overreacting," Charlotte added as she walked closer to me. Tea? Tea inside a prison? Who does she think she's fooling? A sly smile curled on her lips as she positioned herself directly in front of me. "Hold her tightly," she ordered the knights. They quickly obeyed, their grip on me tightening. My hands throbbed from the struggle, my body aching. Damn it! Giselle stepped closer, "Let me handle it, Mom," she said with a grin, clearly enjoying my discomf
Chapter 60: Explanation Reagan's POV "Are you sure we’ll find her here? We’ve been searching for seven days now," Adrian said, slumping onto the couch and casually resting his feet on the table. I shot him a sharp glare, grabbing the nearest object and hurling it at him. "This isn’t your room, Adrian. Act appropriately," I warned. He nervously chuckled and quickly sat upright. "Sorry," he muttered, scratching the back of his neck. "But seriously, Reagan. I know how important this is to you, but we need to go back. The kingdom needs you," he insisted. I knew he was right. The kingdom always came first. But I had to do this. It was now or never. If I couldn’t find him here, the chances of finding him at all were slim to none. "You’re right. Prepare everything; we’ll leave tomorrow," I finally relented, though my resolve remained unshaken. I turned back to the documents I was poring over, my frustration mounting with every second that passed. Where was he? When would he reveal him
Chapter 61: That Should Be MeSelina's POV"You’re my light, Selina. I don’t know what I’d do without you in my life." His voice, soft and tender, sent warmth flooding through my chest.He held my hand, bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss, his gaze unwavering as it met mine. A small smile broke across my face, and for a fleeting moment, I wished this could last forever.No pain, no heartbreak—just happiness. I reached out to trace the contours of his face. "I’ll stay with you. I’ll never leave your side," I murmured.His lips curled into a smile as he pressed his cheek against my palm. "Thank you for giving me another chance," he whispered, his voice laced with relief.I nodded, resting my hand on his shoulder. He continued to hold my hand, absentmindedly playing with my fingers. My gaze shifted to the twins, their laughter filling the air as they roasted marshmallows over the fire.This was enough for me—their happiness, their joy.But then I felt his lips on my cheek.I turned
Chapter 62: SecretSelina's POV"You're awake! How are you feeling? I was so worried about you! I tried so many times to come see you, but they kept blocking me!" Jiya exclaimed as soon as she stepped into the room, tears streaming down her face.I couldn’t help but laugh softly. This is exactly how she gets when she panics—frantic, teary-eyed, and full of energy. She wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, frowning at me. "You still have the audacity to laugh! You almost died, Selina!" she scolded, her words broken by hiccups.She walked over to me and grasped my hand tightly. "I was so worried about you. Even the twins couldn't stop crying," she said, her voice trembling. Her words tugged at my heart. I knew how much my absence must have hurt them, and guilt weighed heavily on my chest.I placed my free hand over hers, wishing I could speak and ease her worries. But for now, all I could do was listen.Taking a deep breath, I let her continue crying and talking. "I also heard tha
Chapter 63: PunishmentReagan's POVShe hates me. She doesn’t want to see me. She curses my existence.I took a deep breath and leaned back in my chair. Three days had passed since Selina woke up, and every time I tried to visit her, Jiya blocked me at the door. She was angry, and rightfully so. I deserved every bit of her wrath. But I couldn’t help it—I needed to see her. I needed to make sure she was okay, that she wasn’t alone, that she wasn’t suffering because of me.In frustration, I ran my hands through my hair. Everything felt like it was crumbling around me. The person I’ve been searching for remains elusive. Selina despised me. My mother wouldn't stop nagging me. And Giselle? She was downright insufferable, always adding more fuel to the fire.I was still furious at them for hurting Selina, but more than anything, I was angry at myself for failing her again. It’s a pattern. I always let her down. She’s right—I’m nothing but a failure.Should I let her go? Maybe it’s better th
Chapter 64: I Hate YouSelina's POV"Is he still outside?" I asked Jiya. My voice was barely audible, still painful, but at least I could speak a little now. She looked at me, then stood up. "Hold on, let me check," she said, heading toward the window.She pulled the curtain aside slightly, then looked back at me and nodded. "Yes, he's still out there. He’s been coming back for weeks now. Aren't you going to talk to him?" she asked as she walked back toward me.I grabbed a pen and paper, scribbling my reply. I couldn’t risk using my voice too much—one wrong move and I might lose it again for good."If Aamon comes, will you talk to him?" Her eyes widened as she read."Of course not. And why would he even be involved? He’s nothing but an asshole. And please, this is about you and Reagan."I chuckled. She was being too defensive. I wrote again, "No. I’m not talking to him either. Let him keep coming back, I don't care."I wasn’t going to be weak anymore. I couldn’t let his actions affect
Chapter 65: Not Selfish EnoughSelina's POVI crossed my arms over my chest, watching Reagan as he tried his hardest to win over the twins. Gifts, toys, and food surrounded them, but nothing seemed to work. He was spoiling them unnecessarily, yet Abigail and Sky remained unimpressed. They weren’t easily fooled, and their cold expressions said it all.“Do you want to go out after this?” Reagan asked them softly, almost pleadingly.Sky raised his head slightly, while Abigail glanced at me. She shook her head, mouthing, “I don’t want to talk to him.”I shook my head in response, mouthing back, “Be nice.” She pouted but turned back to Reagan, who now looked even more defeated.“We don’t want to. Who are you anyway?” Abigail snapped, her tone sharp and unforgiving.I sighed, resisting the urge to rub my temples. Abigail was giving him a hard time, and honestly, he deserved it.“She’s right. Why are you here? You should go back to Giselle Witch,” Sky added, his voice laced with sarcasm.Tha
Chapter 66: Stay With MeSelina's POV"Where are the twins?" I muttered to myself as I returned to the garden. The table was empty—no Reagan, no twins. Where did they go?I quickly scanned the surroundings, my heart racing slightly. Relief washed over me when I spotted them near the pond, fishing. Sky was visibly excited, beaming with joy as he fumbled with the fishing line, while Abi stood with her arms crossed, her small face etched with disapproval as she watched her brother and Reagan.Abi was in her usual unpleased mode. I shook my head, suppressing a chuckle, and carefully placed the food on the table before walking toward them.Abi’s expression lit up as soon as she saw me approaching. “Mom! You’re here! I’m starving—did you bring the food?” she asked with a bubbly enthusiasm.I smiled and gently ruffled her hair. “Yes, sweetheart. Are you ready to eat?”She nodded eagerly, her earlier irritation vanishing. "Yes, Mom!"“Me too, Mom!” Sky chimed in, running toward me and grabbin
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
