Rufus's POVThe anger inside me vanished instantly when I laid eyes on Selena. I shook my head as i entered the kitchen and the maids respectfully lowered their heads."Good day, Sir," they all said in unison, and I nodded in response."Can I have my kitchen to myself?" I asked, and the maids slightly raised their heads. Seeing that I was serious, they quickly nodded and hurried out of the kitchen.As they left, I hummed a tune while filling the kettle with water and placing it on the stovetop.*Oh man! Didn't know my human...**Not now, Eclipse...* I interrupted Eclipse with a whistle.I chose the perfect blend of herbs and spices from the well-stocked pantry.With ease, my hands moved, measuring out the precise amount of each ingredient and steeping them carefully in a teapot.The fragrant aroma of the herbs filled the air.Finally, the tea was ready, and I poured it into a delicate porcelain cup. Wisps of steam rose, carrying the healing properties of the herbs.With a quiet sense
Selena's POVRufus entered the room once again, handing me the herbal tea he had prepared.My heart skipped a beat at his thoughtful gesture. Taking the tray, I quietly murmured a 'thanks."Shortly after, he exited the room. I waited patiently, but he did not return. Instead, the butler came in to inform me that Rufus was not around...I let out a sigh for what felt like the hundredth time. I felt incomplete without Meeka, my wolf.Suddenly, my heart raced as I had a vision of someone knocking on the door."Pull yourself together, Selena," I whispered to myself.Just then, a knock echoed through the room."Coming..." I managed to say as I made my way to the door.Despite my sudden throbbing headache, I opened the door.To my surprise, the woman standing there was the same one from my flashes just now."Who are you?" I asked placing a hand over my chest. I couldn't understand why I felt so anxious all of a sudden."I apologize for the disturbance," the lady spoke softly as I studied he
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
Epilogue"My baby... Roo!"Selena was crying nonstop, and since this was a first for them, Rufus was at a loss for what to do.Is the baby already coming? Should i take her to the pack clinic by now?Selena stood there, legs apart, as if she was hesitant to let anyone near her."Selly... Come here. Come here," Roo said softly, moving closer and wrapping his arms around her."Rufus...!""Lillian, go get the pack doctor!" Rufus shouted, and Lillian rushed out to find help.Meanwhile, Selena continued to cry, tugging at Rufus's shirt, and suddenly, a sharp pain hit her like menstrual cramps, causing her to scream in agony."Argh!!!!"She clutched Rufus's shirt tightly, her nails digging into his chest."Rufus! It hurts. Moon goddess, please...!"Ignoring the pain she was causing him, Rufus quickly scooped her up, her weight not bothering him as he dashed into the room."This way, doctor."Lillian returned with one of the pack doctors.The doctor rushed in, ready to help."I'm so scared,"
Writer's POVThree Days LaterSelena let out a big yawn as she stretched her tired limbs. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and found Rufus staring right at her."You're awake! How are you feeling? Should I whip up some food for you, or do you want to freshen up first?" Rufus bombarded her with questions, leaving Selena unsure of how to respond.She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead, feeling overwhelmed by everything he was asking.Selena exhaled deeply. "What actually happened? I can't remember anything..."Rufus settled on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and gently tapped the back of her palm. "Sweetheart, it's been three days since you fainted.""What?" Selena interrupted, her eyes going wide in disbelief."Shh! That’s not all," Rufus continued. "The pack doctor said you fainted because you’re pregnant... Defeating Nireus took a lot out of you."Selena blinked rapidly, as if she had just seen a ghost. "Pregnant? Defeat Nireus?!""Yes! You're pregnant!" Rufus said excitedly
Writer's POV "I get that you have every reason to doubt me, but you really need to believe me. It’s only a matter of hours before Nireus and his men show up here," Issa said, locking eyes with Lillian. Both Lillian and Issa were trying hard to keep their feelings in check, but their eyes revealed a lot. "That’s not going to happen. There’s a barrier that keeps out anyone with bad intentions," Davies said, his teeth clenched. He hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something important. "But how did you…" "It’s because I came here peacefully and mean no harm," Issa interrupted, cutting off Davies. "You have to believe me, Lillian. Nireus has witches who can break that barrier," Issa insisted, her gaze still fixed on Lillian. Lillian took a deep breath and muttered, "Come with me..." "Lillian, I know she’s your aunt, but you don’t have to trust her..." "She’s not my aunt, Davies. Just go back to the border," Lillian replied, her voice tense. "I’m not leaving you with her," D
Issa's POV As soon as I was out of Nireus' sight, I picked up my pace. Once I exited the big hall, I hurried to the horse stable. I glanced back to ensure no one was tailing me before I approached one of the horses and released it from its stall. "Let’s go..." I murmured as I mounted the horse.This was the first time in years that I had stepped outside the Red clan's territory, or maybe even out of Nireus' cage.Luckily, it was slightly bright. Maybe 2Am or 3AM.I had nearly forgotten how stunning it was out here.I gripped the reins tightly, racing past the trees and various clans.Before I left the Red clan, I had cast a spell on every path I took. It would be tough for Nireus to track me down.I looked up at the sky, catching a last glimpse of the stars as it slipped behind the clouds. The day was getting so bright,, and I was running out of time.Only a few hours remained unti the day finally brighten very welll, and I needed to find Lillian or the council of Werewolves to pr
Writer's POVMyrine looked absolutely stunning in her pink and creamy white dress. When she spotted Issa and Lord Nireus approaching, she paused her conversation with the other two and happily walked over to greet them.She wrapped her arms around Issa, exclaiming, "Issa, it’s so wonderful to have you back!"The two people Myrine had been talking to introduced themselves as Dares and his brother Chares. They seemed a bit distant and quickly found an excuse to leave."Greetings to you, my Lord." Myrine said before turning her attention back to Issa. "I noticed you were just chatting with Kleopatra and her husband," she said, fiddling with the beautiful heart-shaped pendant around her neck, "I’m sure you remember who her husband is, right?""Of course I remember Aeson. I was only gone for a few years. My memory is still sharp," Issa replied with a shrug and a smile."I knew you would," Myrine laughed."They're here.""The rogue vampires and werewolves are here!" the crowd suddenly shout
Writer's POV Lord Nireus stood by his window, a glass of wine in hand, staring at the sky before his attention shifted to his wardrobe. "Come on, Issa," he said softly, tapping the wine glass with his finger.As if responding to his call, the wardrobe began to shake violently."Bless Lucifer," he whispered, a grin spreading across his face."Coming!" he nearly shouted, quickly placing the wine glass on the table. With a flick of his fingers, the wardrobe swung to the side.Taking a deep breath, Lord Nireus rubbed his palms together and pressed them against the wall, squeezing his eyes shut.Suddenly, the wall cracked open and swung back, and with a loud thud, a woman in that is naked tumbled out."Oh, my dearest Issa! It’s wonderful to have you back. Together, we shall rule the universe!" Lord Nireus exclaimed, crouching beside her and gently caressing her face.Though Issa looked pale and weak, she managed a faint smile at his words.Seeing him after so many years only made Issa wa
Selena's POV I rested my head on Rufus's chest and asked, "What was the situation at the border?" He sighed, "It's being handled. Apparently, one of the Alphas was behind it.""Oh!" I mumbled, wishing things could just go back to how they used to be. I really didn’t want this power."Williams was here," I swallowed and then added, "And I almost burn him to death," "That mother fu*ker was here?" Rufus growled lowly.I looked up at him shyly, my eyelashes fluttering, and a playful smile crept onto my face, making Rufus let out a low rumble from his chest.I didn’t say anything, but I reached up and slipped my hands under his shirt, gently tracing my fingers over his defined abs. I wrapped my fingers around the back of his neck, pulling his lips closer to mine.Right then, I craved to taste him. I couldn’t understand this intense desire that had taken over me, this urgent need to have him with me all the time.It wasn’t like this when I was with Williams...*Ugh, Selly. Do you really
Writer's POV "What’s happening?" Edward asked when he spotted his cousin Rufus."There was a breach. The guards managed to take down a few of them, but…""But what?" Edward pressed."A few of them found a way to sneak in…" Rufus sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead."They can’t stay here; Lillian will track them down," Davies pointed out."Plus, she’s desperately trying to do just that, but we really need to keep our defenses up," Rufus replied. "I think you and Davies should check the inner area. Look for anything suspicious, search around the houses, and then regroup here later. I’ll go join Lillian and Selena on the border.""Cousin, you’re forgetting something important. You need to be with your mate," Edward argued. "She’s safer with you right now than anyone else, especially until she learns to control her powers.""She’s completely safe," Rufus insisted."You have no idea. She’s a white wolf, Cousin. There are plenty of people out there just waiting for a chance to capture her
Writer's POV Lord Nireus was standing on a high stage surrounded by the clamoring crowd. His remarkable position allowed him to have a clear view on everything on the open arena. The sound of weapons colliding sounded routinely from before him, and the sound of steel tearing steel was definitely more satisfying to Lord Nireus ears than any fine instrument could be. This is the biggest field in Reds tribe. In the field, there are just two men battling each another. One of them is tall, wearing dark covering, and his swordsmanship is exceptionally powerful. The less flashy fighter facing him had no elaborate armor, just a simple layer of rust-resistant fabric that matched the color of the ground. The only decoration was a bright lion's head emblazoned on his chest. His sword skills were also significantly stronger! Surprisingly, he was nearly a head shorter than the man across from him, yet he managed to overpower his opponent with sheer strength! As the duel started
