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
