Writer's POV "Hmmm... chicken kebab! Want some?" Selena quickly asked, trying to divert the conversation. She didn't want him to ask why she hadn't slept, so she quickly changed the subject. She abruptly shifted the topic, but Rufus didn't seem bothered and responded calmly, "No! I'm going for a morning jog." *Not a good idea, man... You should never say no to a lady when it comes to food... The aroma is so tempting,* Rufus' wolf, Eclipse, chimed in. Rufus closed his eyes, ignoring his wolf's comment. "Oh," Selena replied, her lips flattening. She couldn't express her disappointment, but she had hoped he would say yes. "Ummm... maybe when I'm back, I'll have some," Rufus suggested. Upon hearing Rufus' words, Selena's lowered eyes suddenly lifted, and when she looked at him, it was as if stars were twinkling. She smiled and said, "Okay!" Rufus turned around and left the kitchen to go for his morning run. Selena had spent the entire night without sleep. Her arms were sore and h
Selena's POVIt was exactly 4:00 pm and I found myself alone in the office. All of my colleagues had already left for the day. I sat there, surrounded by paperwork, trying to finish everything before I could leave.Finally, I completed the last task and began packing up my belongings. As I made my way towards the office gate, my phone beeped, indicating a new message. It was from Louisa, asking if I had finished my work for the day. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her timing. After leaving me with the cop at the bar the other night, now she wanted to hang out?I replied to her message "You are so dead" with a laughing emoji and increased my pace, hoping to find Louisa soon."Seli," a familiar voice called out from nearby.I clenched my hand tightly around my dress, feeling a rush of emotions flood back.*That son of a bitch* I could feel my wolf Meeka boiling inside. Taking a deep breath, I composed myself and turned around. There, I saw Williams stepping out of a red car and
Writer's POVSelena could feel the excruciating pain in her arm, as if it was on the verge of breaking. She scowled and said unhappily, "You're hurting me, let me go..."Not only did Williams refuse to release his grip, but he even tightened it further.There were bloodshot eyes beneath his tired gaze, and his expression was filled with gloom."Seli, I understand that you have every right to be angry with me for leaving you at the wedding, and I get it. I'm willing to make it up to you. Besides me, who else could you possibly marry in this lifetime?"He paused for a moment, lowered his head, and leaned in closer, his gloomy voice laced with a hint of sarcasm. "After all, you've had feelings for me for so many years. How do you plan on surviving if you reject me?"Selena struggled for a moment, looking at him with a sense of unfamiliarity in her clear eyes.She couldn't believe that such words were coming from the mouth of someone she once called mate, someone she had liked fo
Selena's POVI made my way towards the stairs leading to my room when Rufus called out my name in his deep voice, "Selena."His tone was calm."Huh?" I glanced over at him.To be honest, i love the way he pronounced my name. I love the sound of it rolling off his tongue.I cleared my throat softly and replied, "Yes!""I want to try the food you cooked tonight."He said as he handed his suit jacket to the butler, his black eyes scanning my face.Not only was i surprise, but also the butler who was beside the corner was also stunned as I could see his eyes wide opened. I blinked and asked the butler, "Do we have poached chicken in the house?""Yes," the butler quickly replied."I'll go change first and then come down to make something, okay?" I told Rufus.Rufus nodded."Alright!"I turned and headed up the stairs. After changing, I went back to the kitchen to make hainanese chicken rice.A few minutes later, Rufus and I were seated at the dining table enjoying the hainan
Rufus POV I lay in bed, unable to shake the images of Selena from my mind. Memories of our dinner together and the moment i brought her tonight flooded my thoughts. Her innocent face kept flashing before me, causing frustration to build within me. "Ugh," I groaned loudly as I sat up in bed. It seemed like another sleepless night. I let out a sigh and mind link one of my guards. "Yes, Alpha?" came the response. "Fetch Beta Davies immediately," I ordered before ending the mind link It had been too long since I last went for a run. Maybe it would help clear my mind. I made my way to the dressing room, quickly changing into something simple before returning to the bedroom and leaving the room. Beta Davies was already waiting for me when I arrived. "You called for me, Alpha?" he asked. "Yes! Still not heard from Lillian?" I asked. "No Alpha!" He replied and I nodded before murmuring. "I can't sleep," I admitted. "Is there anything you need, then?" Beta Davies asked.
Selena's POVRufus's words echoed in my ears, "seven different kinds of food that I like.""How am I supposed to know what dishes he likes?" I complained as I left the villa and headed towards the car garage.I stood there as the driver raised his hand to scratch the scar at the corner of his eye and asked cautiously, "Ms. Selena, you're late.""Oh." My face turned red instantly when I saw the driver's slightly upset expression.Why did he look upset?I silently sighed as I sat in the car.The car smoothly drove down the road.After a few minutes of driving, as the driver was about to turn at the next intersection, a large truck suddenly came straight towards us.Out of nowhere, something like a bullet flew towards me and landed on my forehead.*Ahhh!* I could hear my wolf whimper in pain.*Meeka,* I tried to reach her but couldn't."Ms. Selena, your forehead...""Keep driving! I'm fine. It will heal soon," I managed to say, my vision starting to blur.The driver nodded and quickly tu
Writer's POV Rufus carefully applied the medicine to Selena's wound, taking his time to make sure it was done properly. He then gently placed a large bandage over it.As soon as the bandage was on, Selena whine a little and instinctively reached out to touch it.Before her fingers could make contact with the bandage, Rufus swiftly grabbed her wrist and spoke in a hushed tone, "Don't touch it."Selena quickly pulled her hand back, surprised by Rufus's sudden reaction.Ava couldn't help but walk over and push Rufus away, exclaiming, "What are you doing? I thought you didn't like being close to girls. Are you already falling for my sister?"Selena looked at Rufus with a blank expression, her clear eyes filled with surprise. She felt a bit shy now.Rather than getting annoyed, Rufus responded in an indifferent tone, "I asked the driver to take her to work, so it's only natural to take care of her."Rufus was implying that Selena's injury was his responsibility since he told the
Rufus's POV I was still at the castle, an uneasy feeling washed over me, and it seemed like my wolf, Eclipse, was feeling the same restlessness. *Easy there, Eclipse,* I tried to calm him down, but my efforts were in vain. Just then, my phone began to ring, and I quickly swiped right to answer the call. A young female voice came through the phone almost immediately. "She's what?" I practically yelled as I hastily grabbed my jacket and rushed out of the castle. Arriving at the pack hospital, I was taken aback by how weak she appeared. Even the injury on her forehead showed no signs of healing, which was incredibly unusual. She should be healing, so why wasn't she? Ava, her sister, was also in the ward. I stood in the corner, scrolling through my phone, giving them some space to talk. However, I couldn't help but cough when I saw Selena transferring money to Ava. Shameless! Taking money from her own little sister. Ava turned around and gave me a look. I faced Selena and tol
