SELENA'S POVZander was quiet for a few seconds.I closed my eyes, counting my days.This is it. This is where he'll switch up. Hate me, hit me, make me pay for rejecting him… but he didn't.He walked towards me, wrapped me up in his arms and kissed my forehead.I… I…My cheeks heated up. My heart started racing."I'll wait," he promised and my attraction to him skyrocketed over the roof. "I'll wait as long as it takes, Selena. I won't give up on you. I promise."Oh, goddess. This man will be the death of me.He pulled away from me and grinned and I wondered how I had ever mistaken him for Tristan the first time we met. There was so much kindness and light in his eyes, none of which I was accustomed to with his twin brother.I know I should be careful. I know I'm trying with fire. I'm still skeptical about all the powers he possesses, but it was impossible not to fall for him. Not to see the obvious good in him and appreciate it. "Where is your mind at?" he inquired, tilting my face
SELENA'S POVI slowly opened my eyes, letting my senses adjust to the bright morning light streaming in from the window. Glancing around, I took in my surroundings, realizing I was in the last place I wanted to be - Zander's room.I remembered coming back from the mission with the guys, and Zander had asked me to come to his room. The next thing I knew, his arms were wrapped around me, and I could feel his breath on my neck. The realization that his hard length was pressed against my backside made me freeze in shock.I wasn't sure what to do. Should I slip out of his embrace or push him away? I felt torn between the attraction I felt for him and the fear I had for my rejected mate, Tristan. If Tristan ever found out that I’d slept in Zander’s room, he’d be furious.No. He'd be beyond furious.Zander’s arms suddenly wrapped even more tightly around me, as if he could hear my thoughts. He placed his leg over my hips, pulling me impossibly closer to him and relaxing when I settled into h
SELENA'S POVI couldn't believe it. I stood in front of the mirror staring at my botched haircut."So?" Ana prodded, holding the scissors to her chest and staring at me with hopefully brown eyes. "What do you think?"I swallowed and stared at my reflection."You hate it!" She proclaimed while frantically trying to fix it. "I'm so sorry Selena. I can't believe I did this to you," Ana said, her eyes filled with regret.I relaxed slowly to set her at ease."It's okay, Ana. It's just hair. It'll grow back," I reassured her, trying not to let my frustration show. But inside, I was freaking out. I couldn't go around looking like this; what if someone important saw me like this?"What are we going to do about it?" Ana asked, as she continued fussing with my hair.I sighed, "I don't know. I guess we'll have to figure something out.""Well, on the bright side, you're still really pretty. Really, you have to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You look like the freaking moon goddess S
SELENA’S POV My mum used to say, sometimes dining with the devil doesn't make you a bad person. Right now I was dining with both the devil and Lucifer, we can say they aren't mutually exclusive but for me they were. I was dining with a man that is only known for his atrocity across the realm and I was barely acknowledging his presence and then there was Zander, the Lucifer, the morning star that came into my life and swept me off my feet, the castaway son. He gleamed at me with so much passion in his eyes, I wasn't sure if it could be interpreted as a passion but I wanted to believe that this was passion written all over him."Do you want some beef?" he asked and I shook my head. I didn't want to speak too much to further irritate Tristan because I could tell he was already disgusted by my mere presence. "Why don't you want beef," Alfie, the renowned chef who also happens to be my friend, and partner sneaking food from the royal table. I do not want to tell him I am vegan and I w
Selena's POVI knew things were about to turn dark. Dining with the devil meant that the mood could turn sinister very quickly. Tristan was visibly furious, ready to unleash his wrath on Zander. On the other hand, Zander had an evil smirk on his face, like he knew exactly what was happening and this was what he wanted.I wasn't going to get caught in the crossfire of these two ruthless individuals, nor was I going to be a witness to a bloodbath. I rose from my seat, my heart racing, as Tristan's enraged expression sent a chill down my spine."I apologize for any offense I may have caused," I spoke, trying to keep my voice steady.But before I could finish my sentence, Zander interrupted. "Sit down, Selena," he said, almost commanding me. He had his deadpan look on his face again, making it hard to tell what side he was on."You can't let him keep belittling you when I'm here," Zander said."Belittle?" Tristan scoffed, laughing hysterically. I was already irritated by his disgusting ge
ZANDER'S POVWhat the hell is wrong with me? My head feels like it's boiling in flames as I think of the thousands of ways I could have handled this better. Maybe I should have just scared him off with a stern warning and not turned this into a clash of titans.I have a problem doing the most out of little things. In other cases, this would have been an adequate selling point for my skills, but right now, it's just a skill that's making this poor lady scared shitless.She's trying to hide it, the fear and trepidation in her eyes. This is probably the first time she's seeing me in full beast mode. She must have heard of it but had never seen it.Tristan had stormed off, which was wise of him because I wasn't going to back out of this fight. Not this easily. I was going to fight until the creeks and bones of our being were broken into pieces."I am an extremist!" I whispered assertively to myself. I always have been and always will be. Maybe facing my truth would adequately justify my a
Laleh's POVI hate everything about this pack right now. I used to be a queen, and now I am just another whore that fucks with the entitled and annoying Tristan, and I blame this on Zander coming back and everything about him.The horrible thing about Zander, apart from being a wicked, ruthless monster that causes collateral damage to anything in his path, a weapon of mass destruction, is that he is unpredictable, and he has a mind of his own.When it comes to Tristan, I can control him well because I know how he thinks, and I know his next moves before he makes them, but that isn't the case with Zander. With Zander, every move is spontaneous, and every action is new. I think Tristan fears that about him. My plans are being messed up from different angles, and I can't help but blame myself for that.I should have thought about Zander's return. I always knew Zander would return, but never this soon. I thought when he returned, Alpha Ezra would have been long dead and forgotten, and Tri
Tristan's POV I am going to fucking kill her, and kill him and burn their bodies to the ground and throw their ashes in some dark forest so their spirit be trapped in evil for eternity.How dare he humiliate me like that in front of my subjects, he made me the laughingstock of everyone and I am losing control of all I had known to have all my life, "Fear,"Other weak kings and Alpha strive for respect whereas I strive for fear, I want my subjects to fear me, I want to rule and drown in their crumbling esteem when they are around me but right now, I didn't have that anymore, not with that ass whooping I just got from Zander. They feared Zander right now, as they always did, he was a demon with a monster inside of him but the only difference right now is that he also has their respect.Where is fucking Laleh when I need her, "Laleh," I yelled, toasting around things in the room. I need to fuck away all this pain and shame I am feeling. It is bad enough that Zander returned in the wo
