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 01: Do You Love Me?I can’t remember how many days have passed. But I can clearly remember how I came to this place and ended up loving the man I knew I couldn’t keep. I held onto the wall, watching him standing next to her. He was carefully placing a ring on her finger. “Let’s raise our glasses to celebrate this wonderful couple, Reagan and Giselle. May your engagement be the beginning of a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and countless beautiful memories. Congratulations!” Tears escaped from my eyes as I felt the unending pain surge within my soul. It’s too painful to see the person you love being with someone else. Giselle, you must be happy now. I closed my eyes, wiping the tears away from my cheeks.Everyone seemed so happy about their engagement. Just who am I to go against them? I looked down, trying to hold my sob. I am no one. I don’t know my identity or even my true name. A few months ago, I was brought here by the man they called the king. King Reagan Maxim
Chapter 02: BegI slowly opened my eyes, feeling the emptiness of my heart. I feel like my heart become a void, consumed by a dark abyss. Where every beat echoed with unending sadness, suffocating any flicker of hope. I let out a sigh as I looked around. He wasn’t beside me anymore. He probably went out to work. I hate myself for being soft towards him even though I’m already hurting. I always give in to him. I looked at the door when I heard a soft knock. “Lady Selina, it’s me, Jiya. I am here to get you,” she said politely. I pressed my lips together, “Alright, I’ll be there in a minute,” I replied. “I’ll be waiting, my lady,” she replied. I combed my hair using my fingers and walked out of the room."Let’s go," I said wearily. She stayed silent and just looked at me. my brow furrowed in confusion, "Why?" I asked. She immediately shook her head. "My heart aches for you, my lady. It’s upsetting me to see you sad," she admitted.I smiled to reassure her, "Don’t worry about me, Ji
Chapter 03: Lose HopeI pressed my lips tightly as I stared at him. Isn't he going to defend me and send Giselle away? He promised to protect me and the child."What are you doing, Giselle?" he asked. His voice was surprisingly calm, catching me off guard. I expected him to be worried about me and the child, but he wasn’t. He remained serious yet calm.I saw Giselle looking at me with a grin on her lips. She slowly approached Reagan, clinging to his arm. I immediately felt anger and pain. I hate to admit it, but could this be jealousy?"I was telling her that I'm decorating the palace, including this room, for our wedding. But she and her maid are trying to stop us, yelling and offending me," she said, pretending to be hurt.I took a deep breath to calm myself. He looked at me, trying to get some words from me. I looked away. "Offending? You were the first to offend Lady Selina. You barged in, destroying her things, and said nasty words!" Jiya shouted, making me look at her.I sho
Chapter 04: Giving BirthThird Person POVSelina put on the black cloak and its hood before looking at Jiya, who was preparing for their departure. All she needed to do was leave the room, instruct the guards to let her go and watch the king and Giselle's wedding.She wasn't sure if they would agree, but she thought it was now or never. She saw Jiya nod at her and slowly approach her.She smiled, "I hope this time you can escape from this harsh place. I’m saddened that all of this is happening to you," she said quietly. Her voice was sad, showing her care and empathy towards Selina.She held her shoulder and smiled. "Thank you for everything. I appreciate your help, but... you don’t have to do this, Jiya. Whether inside or outside this palace, I’m still no one. I can’t give you anything," Selina said sadly.But Jiya smiled and pulled Selina closer. She embraced her, "You can’t change my mind, My lady. I will stay with you, serve you for the rest of my life." Selina tapped her back
Chapter 05: Regrets and SorrowReagan's POVAs I sat on the long bench at the back of the church, everything around me felt surreal, like a distant dream. This majestic place, the flickering candles, the soft murmur of the guests. My mind was filled with thoughts of Selina. I clenched my jaw, looking down.Selina. Her face, her smile, and the way she used to look at me with such trust and love. My heart ached with the weight of regret, love, and sadness. I had hurt her in ways I never intended—all because I thought it was the only way to protect her and our unborn child.I remembered the last time I saw her, the pain and confusion in her eyes. I had been cold and distant, saying things I didn’t mean, all to push her away. "I didn't mean to hurt her," I muttered under my breath, clenching my fists. "I'm doing all of this to protect her and our child." But the words felt hollow now, a cruel justification for my actions."So, did you really agree to let them throw away and destroy my
Chapter 06: She's BackSelena's POVI still vividly remember everything. Memories I want to forget but can't. And even if I wanted to, I can't forget because they are part of my life. "My dear son, how are you today?" I whispered while gazing at the setting sun.It’s so quiet, as if there are no problems. It’s been five years since I escaped from Reagan’s grasp. I still can’t believe I did it. I managed to live without him. I have our daughter with me, but he has our son.Every day, I ask myself how he is. Is he being treated well? I hope so. He’s the Lycan Prince, after all. The heir they all wanted from me. The sole reason why they accepted me as the king's breeder before."Abi is already asleep; aren’t you going in?" I heard Jiya softly say behind me. I pressed my lips together and shook my head. "Later," I whispered just enough for her to hear.She sighed and sat beside me. "It’s been years, Selina. Your life is better now. Do you really want to go back to that hell?" Concern was
Chapter 07: HealerAs I stepped out of the door, I was greeted by three women. Two of them smiled, gazing at me with awe, while the third stared at me with a serious expression.Three unfamiliar faces. I pressed my lips together and steadied myself. Slowly, I walked toward them with the chauffeur following behind.I stopped right in front of them. They all bowed their heads in respect, and I nodded. "Welcome to our humble kingdom, my lady. His majesty, Reagan, has given us the honor of greeting you, Lady Selina."I couldn’t tell if I imagined it, but something in her tone seemed odd when she uttered the name Selina. Perhaps it reminded her of someone. A faint, secretive smile crept onto my lips as I watched.I'm glad to know that they haven’t completely forgotten the woman who bore their prince. But truthfully, I wish they had. It would be easier that way.I cleared my throat and looked at them. "It’s my pleasure to be here," I said flatly. They nodded. "The king won’t be able to see

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
Chapter 72: RunSelina's POVMy brow furrowed slightly when I saw more than ten knights with Adrian. What are they doing here?"Do you think Reagan sent them because something happened?" Jiya asked me, concern evident in her voice. I glanced at her and shrugged. Honestly, I had no idea.I shook my head. "It’s better if you go and ask them," I suggested. She nodded but hesitated. "You’re not coming to—" she stopped mid-sentence as Adrian turned to look at us.He began moving toward us, half-running. If he’s here, does that mean Reagan is too?"Selina, Jiya, Prince Sky, Princess Abigail," Adrian greeted us, bowing his head. Jiya returned the bow while the twins smiled politely."Hello, Royal Beta," Abigail said warmly."It’s nice to see you here, Uncle Adrian. Is Father with you?" Sky asked, his curiosity shining through.He even glanced around, searching for any sign of Reagan. I couldn’t help but wonder if the twins missed their father. A pang of guilt stabbed at my chest."Yes, Your
Chapter 71: PeacefulSelina's POVIt has been two weeks since we left the palace, and I must admit, life is beginning to feel different—freer. For the first time in years, there’s a sense of normalcy, a quiet peace that I didn’t know I craved so deeply.I glanced at the twins, Abi and Sky, who were laughing and chasing each other around the living room. Their giggles echoed through the house, pure and unrestrained. Their happiness was infectious, warming every corner of my heart.When we first left, we planned to rent a small house, but Reagan insisted on buying one for us. He didn’t want the twins to feel displaced or unsafe. I didn’t argue. He was right—the children deserve a stable home, a place where they can grow without fear.Even now, I’ve noticed knights discreetly guarding the perimeter. They try to remain unseen, but I can sense their presence. It’s a small comfort, knowing Abi and Sky are still protected. After all, they are the legitimate heirs to the kingdom, whether or n
Chapter 70: I Don’t Deserve HerReagan's POVI don’t deserve her love and loyalty. I’m a failure at everything. She was right—all I did was lie and make promises I couldn’t even keep.“Can we talk, son?” Charlotte said as she entered my office, her voice soft as always. I didn’t bother looking up.Adrian was right. She really refused to leave the palace. She’s been trying to talk to me about it—she wants to stay here with me.But I refused. I gave her only a week to stay, and after that, she and Vincent must leave immediately. What they did to Selina is unacceptable.If she weren’t my mother, I would’ve sentenced her to death. I shook the thought away and continued with what I was doing.“Son,” she called again. This time, I stopped reading and looked at her coldly.“What?” I asked, my voice icy.She lowered her gaze and hesitated to speak. I frowned.“Stop wasting my time. What do you want, Charlotte?”She looked up and walked closer to me, her actions irritating me further.“I’m sor
Chapter 69: Letting You GoSelina's POVHe said today would be the day he gave me his decision. I don’t expect him to agree, but a small part of me still hopes.Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and made my way to the balcony where we were supposed to meet. From afar, I could already see him—his back turned to me, silent, as though he was fighting a battle within himself.I stopped in my tracks, staring at his figure. I didn’t know whether to call out to him or let him start. But before I could decide, he turned around and faced me.His eyes met mine, sadness radiating from them despite the faint smile on his lips. It wasn’t a smile of joy but one of surrender—a smile that pierced straight through my heart.He stepped closer, his gaze steady, and for a moment, I wanted to run. Turn around and leave before he could say anything. But I stood my ground, forcing my heart to remain steady.“You’ve decided?” I asked, my voice colder than I intended.He nodded but didn’t speak right away
