Rufus's POV I felt a warm feeling on my lips as I saw Selena and Samantha already getting along. Instead of going straight to the dining room, I made a U-turn heading to the other side of the hall which no one knew existed except my Beta, Davies, Loki, and I.I got to the end of the hall and the wall cracked opened and I stepped in revealing another.Suddenly the door opened and I stepped in."With your body language, I take it that the meeting didn't go well.." Lillian's voice sounded and my head shifted to the direction of the voice to see Lillian stepping away from the big well.Her deep Hazel eyes, as usual, fell on me sympathetically."We need to find the white Wolf with the blood of a king..." I said walking closer to were she was."I know that." she muttered slowly."You fucking don't know that Lillian. They gave me five months, five fucking months and they're bring the court back to the castle. You fucking know what that mean right?" I almost yelled o
Selena's POVAs Rufus's words reached my ears, I couldn't help but respond with a raspy voice, "What does clever have to do with liking someone?"I shot Rufus a menacing glare. Why did he have to bring up William's name?Besides, I no longer had any feelings for William.Rufus plugged in the hair dryer and turned to face me, his tone growing even colder, "When you're in love, you don't act clever. Just like you now...""I absolutely do not love William," I nearly yelled at Rufus, turning to face him directly.When our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat.I lowered my gaze and softly muttered, "Who hasn't fallen for a few jerk when they were young? And, am I to blame the moon goddess for giving me a mate like William?"I muttered under my breath, and suddenly Rufus burst into laughter, "Tell me, how many Jerk have you dated?"Blushing, I couldn't help but smile at Rufus. He looked incredibly handsome with those dimples on both sides of his cheeks.I quickly shook my head, "Just one..""C
Writer's POV Selena didn't doubt his words for a second. "Okay! I was just about to leave anyway."Rufus rolled up his sleeves and checked his watch. "It's almost lunchtime, want to grab lunch together?"Naturally, Selena couldn't refuse the offer. "Okay."Rufus opened the car door and gestured for her to get in with his eyes.Just as Selena was about to bend down, she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw Abigail stepping out of a parked car.A slight frown appeared on Selena's face, and a sense of unease washed over her.Abigail hurriedly walked over, calling out to Selena, but her eyes were fixated on Rufus."What do you want?" Selena took the initiative to ask.Abigail snapped out of her daze and reluctantly tore her gaze away from Rufus. "Why did you come to my house?""I heard that Grandma wasn't feeling well, so I came to visit her."Abigail responded with an "Oh," and her eyes returned to Rufus. There was a shy smile on her face as s
Writer's POV Selena couldn't help but roll her eyes and shake her head, meaning no. Without thinking, she blurted out, "Abigail is definitely not your type. You should wait for your mate..." The word "mate" lingered in Selena's mind, causing her heart to tighten. What if he actually finds his mate today? Lost in her thoughts, Selena failed to notice the frown on Rufus's face upon hearing her words. Rufus's eyes flickered with hurt, but he quickly masked it. "Don't think that will ever happen," he replied, trying to hide his disappointment. "Have a mate? Don't say that. The moon goddess assigned everyone with a mate..." Selena said softly as she rested her head on Rufus's shoulder. Rufus wanted to tell her everything, but he brushed the thought aside as he looked at her head resting on his shoulder and shook his head slightly. ... A few moments later, The Royal Golden Restaurant is renowned as the most prestigious eatery in the Nightfall pack. Aside from its delectable dishes
Writer's POV Selena turned her head and noticed a young woman wearing a professional skirt and suit jacket. She was puzzled as to why the woman was staring at her, but she decided to respond with a polite smile.The secretary's heart instantly melted at the sight of Selena, causing her to almost exclaim, "Oh my goodness! How can someone be so sweet!"On the other hand, Selena couldn't comprehend why the secretary was fixated on her, but Rufus understood perfectly. He calmly spoke up, saying, "Please set the juice down and leave."The secretary snapped back to reality and quickly averted her intrusive gaze. She walked over to the coffee table, placed the juice down, and secretly stole glances at Selena.Selena had fair and delicate skin, long and curled eyelashes, and innocent, big eyes. She was undeniably adorable.Politely, Selena expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you."Wow, her voice is incredibly sweet!The secretary was almost overwhelmed by Selena's sweetness, bu
Rufus's POV As soon as Selena and I returned from the office, I made my way to Lillian's spell room. "Hey, how's it going?" I greeted Lillian as I stepped into the room. Lillian let out a sigh and moved away from the table filled with various small bottles. "Not much progress," she replied, and I couldn't help but clench my hand tightly. "How much more time do you need?" I asked, rubbing my hands together gently. "I'm not sure, Rufus. I'm still trying to piece everything together," Lillian responded, walking back to the table and picking up one of the bottles, shaking it vigorously. I hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question that had been on my mind. "Um... Lillian, is there a chance that the white wolf with the blood of a wolf could also be my mate?" Lillian's hand, which had been shaking the bottle, suddenly stopped midway. She looked at me with raised eyebrows. "Why do you ask?" she paused, her eyebrows furrowing as if I had done something wrong. Shaking
Selena's POV"Rufus," I called out suddenly. "What do you think will happen if you eventually find your mate?"My voice caused Rufus to freeze in place."Oh no, Selena! You should have kept that thought to yourself..." I muttered as Rufus quickly jumped out of bed, putting on his pants and leaving the room."Rufus..." I called out, but he was already long gone."Damn it! Selena, you and your big mouth..." I ran my hands through my hair.......Writer's POVElder Wealth stood in the large room with his family.His wife was present, along with his first son, Derek, his second son, Richard, and his first daughter, Delia."You're not thinking clearly. My son would never do that," Elder Wealth's wife said bitterly, crossing her arms over her chest."I've already lost two of my children in the war, and it's not going to happen again. Not while I'm still alive...""That's exactly why I agree with Father," the first son snapped suddenly. "I lost my two siblings in that war because of him. I'm
Rufus's POV I've been in the business world for a long time, and I've been deeply involved in my family's dangerous environment. Over the years, I've developed the ability to see into people's hearts. The moment Selena asked that question, I immediately understood what she meant. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as I looked at her. My throat tightened, and my heart felt like it was boiling, bubbling with emotions. "I don't plan on letting you go," I finally managed to say after some thought and internal struggle. Selena's eyes instantly sparkled, and she looked at me hesitantly. The smile on her lips deepened, revealing her adorable dimples. In a soft voice, she asked, "So you don't want to let me go? Does that mean I have a chance with you, even though you have a mate?" I thought she would confess her love and ask to be my girlfriend. But I didn't need her to do that. I just wanted her to openly, simply, and passionately express her feelings for me. "Do you like me?" I a
