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
Selena's PovI was completely taken aback by his handsome look that I couldn't refuse. I obediently made my way to the couch and sat down, preparing to look up at him. Coincidentally, he leaned down with a cotton swab and a small bottle of medicine...For a brief moment, we locked eyes and were so close that we could feel each other's breath.I involuntarily swallowed, blinked my innocent and clear eyes, and my heart raced uncontrollably.Rufus was the first to react. He calmly looked away, his gaze landing on my forehead.With his fingertips, he brushed aside my hair, gently removed the bandage, and tossed it into the trash can.My curled eyelashes trembled slightly as I slowly lowered my gaze, and my white fingers tightly intertwined, as if I was trying to hold back something.Rufus delicately blew on the medicine while applying it, treating me as if I were a child.The warm gusts of wind caressed my face.I secretly glanced at him, raising my eyes.Under the blue light, his usuall
Selena's Perspective Louisa's expression turned into a frown instantly, "That's not true. I don't have a crush on your sister." I stared at Louisa for a moment before bursting into laughter, "Seriously? Your eyes just blinked three times, they already gave you away. " Louisa has this habit of blinking three times whenever she tells a lie. The fact that she actually liked Ava amused me because she always disliked Ava's way of living. Louisa chuckled, "Okay, but that was in the past!" She said, and I rolled my eyes because I knew she was lying. "Enough about Ava!" She wrapped her arms around my shoulder as we walked into the Eco building and asked, "By the way, how are you going to celebrate your birthday this time?" "I don't think I'll be celebrating," I replied nonchalantly. Louisa gently patted my head, "What do you mean? After the full moon ceremony, the next week is your birthday..." "The full moon ceremony is in January, and my birthday is in February. Besides, we are s
