All Chapters of The Goddess’s Daughter and Her Cursed Lycan Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Selene's POVTonight was the Masquerade Mating Ball—the grandest, most dazzling event of the year—and everyone whispered with excitement.Well, all of them whispered except me. I hadn’t received an invitation.This was very upsetting for me. The Mating Ball was where many wolves found their mates. Only singles between 16 and 18 were invited to the ball, and invitations were sent out three days beforehand. If you didn't get an invitation, you'd be ridiculed. I’d never received one, so I’d been the laughing stock of the pack for the past three years now. The other she-wolves bullied me. They called me names in derisive tones and whispered about me behind my pack. ‘No invitation for Selene - AGAIN,’ I heard them smirk and snicker. ‘What did she expect? Why should she be invited? She doesn’t even have a wolf!’It hurt my heart to hear their taunts and giggles at my expense. It was true, though. I didn’t have a wolf. When I turned 16, I eagerly waited for my first shift, but it never ha

Selene's POVI choked back the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes. Jason’s betrayal cut like a knife right through my heart. I wanted to run home and pretend like I’d never seen him. I struggled to breath, taking in air in huge gulps while my hands shook. I didn’t know what to do. Jason hadn’t seen me yet. I could still get away before he did. I was mortified and humiliated. I’d trusted him! I’d given him my heart, believing that he loved me, only to have him crush it! But before I could decide what to do next, Cynthia made her entrance. She swept into the room, her long, elegant, emerald gown swaying as she waltzed right up to Jason. All eyes were on her as she made her way across the floor, including Jason’s. He fixed her with a gaze full of intense heat. The way he looked at her? It was as if she was the only she-wolf in the world. He smiled as she approached and extended his hand to her. Cynthia gently placed her hand in his and a soft smile graced her lips. I watch

Selene's POVI struggled nervously, and the man quickly set me down. I felt panicked as my mother continued to glare at me. The handsome stranger must have sensed my panic because before I could bolt in any random direction, his hand shot out and grabbed mine. “What are you—” I barely got the words out before he started moving, pulling me through the ballroom like a man on a mission. The crowd parted for us as we made our way to the back door. I didn’t resist. Why would I? He looked like he had a plan, and my plan consisted of, well, nothing. Plus, his grip was surprisingly reassuring and firm, and I liked the way his hand felt in mine. It was crazy and I knew it, to follow this strange, dangerous man out of the ballroom blindly. But there was something about him - something that I couldn’t refuse. We slipped through a side door and burst out into the cool night air. The moon was almost full and it shone brightly as we sprinted into the forest. His hand remained in mine as he

Selene's POVWhen Roman said ‘We’ll meet again’, I was full of anticipation. But I never imagined our reunion would be like this.I stood there, frozen, staring at him in complete shock. My breath caught in my throat, and my chest tightened. I wanted to believe it wasn’t him. It couldn’t be. But it was real. It was him. He had just killed my mother. The man I was daydreaming about just hours ago, the one I was so eager to see again... Now, he was standing there, before me, covered in my mother’s blood. I felt my legs weaken as the reality of the scene hit me like a wave. I wanted to move, to run, but my feet remained rooted to the ground.A bunch of limping werewolves staggered past me, gathering in the designated area and dropping to their knees from injury and exhaustion. Werewolf bodies were scattered all over the ground, blood pooling everywhere. It was horrific. I recognized some of the bodies—they were members of my pack. I didn’t know any of them well, but I’d grown up a

Roman's POVI leaned back in the worn leather chair, my fingers drumming rhythmically against the table. The battle was over, but we’d taken over the pack and there was a lot of reorganizing to do. The maids had cleaned up this meeting room for us before tackling the rest of the pack house. Around me, the elders sat with somber expressions, waiting for me to speak. But my mind kept drifting back to Selene. I was shocked when I saw her black eyes, glaring at me over her mother’s corpse. How could it be? How could the one I’d been looking for all these years have BLACK eyes instead of red. But it was her; I was sure of it. I’d felt it instantly at the Mating Ball - the matebond. Despite her black eyes, Selene was my mate. It’s why I’d spared her life, of course. Why I’d demanded that she be locked up and put under constant surveillance. She might be wolfless and not the red-eyed Lycan I was expecting, but she was still invaluable. At least, that’s what I believed at the time. “Roma
