The car was still. I hadn't started it, too confused with the thoughts that spiraled in my head. I just sat still, stains of his release still covered my dress. The strap of my gown had slid down to reveal an almost red spot where he'd bit me. My nipples still ached from his mouth. My pussy still throbbed from his size and how good he'd made me feel. But somehow, those feelings weren't enough to settle me. The hotel behind me was still. Everything felt like they were holding their breath. Waiting..My phone screen lit up in my hand."Do you now know why you keep choosing me?"I didn’t answer. Because the question wasn’t about Darius anymore. It was about me. I thought I loved the freedom. I thought I wanted it. But I wasn't so sure anymore. How could I? When freedom was looking like it should?I started the engine. The road was empty at 12:20am. Lagos at night always felt like a secret. Like the city was holding its breath just for you.I drove without music. Just the sound of my bre

I left earlier after Jessica called, her voice still lingering in my head even after the line went dead. She had dropped the call and then disappeared into whatever life waited for her outside mine.Now, i was in my room, unable to sleep. The house was silent, not calm because my mind wasn't. Not restful. Just… silent in a way that pressed against my ears, like it was asking me questions.I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, counting the slow rhythm of my breathing. It didn’t help. My mind refused to settle.It kept drifting back to Darius.I shut my eyes briefly, as if that would block him out, but it only made things worse.His voice came clearer in the dark. The way he spoke, low and calculated.I turned sharply onto my side."No," I muttered under my breath.But denial didn’t erase memory. If anything, it sharpened it.The way he watched me. Greedily, hungrily, and.... intently, all at once. Like he was studying something he already understood but wanted to confirm.That loo

The house remained quiet long after I sat down in the living room.For a while, I leaned back in the chair, staring at nothing in particular while the faint echo of Darius’s message lingered on my phone screen.Already missing me?I should have ignored it. Instead, my fingers walked across the keyboard."Stop patting yourself on the back, mister", I replied His reply came almost instantly."I usually am".A faint smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it.That was the problem with Darius. He had a way of slipping into my thoughts long after he was gone, leaving behind the feeling that something unfinished still lingered between us.I set the phone aside and walked slowly through the house.It felt unusually empty tonight. The silence pressed against the walls in a way that made every step sound louder.James still wasn’t home. Part of me wondered where he was. Another part… didn’t care as much as it probably should have.I poured myself a glass of wine and stepped out onto the

Morning crept into Darius’s hotel room, slipping through the tall curtains in soft streaks of gold. The light rested gently on the floor before climbing slowly toward the bed, where I lay awake long before I intended to.I decided to sleep over at the hotel last night.The room was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the distant sounds of traffic far below. The sheets were warm around me, carrying the lingering scent of cologne and the kind of intimacy that made the night feel suspended in time.Behind me, the mattress shifted slightly."You’re awake".Darius’s voice came low and calm, touched with that familiar confidence that never seemed to leave him.I turned my head slowly.He was already propped against the headboard, one arm resting behind his head as he studied me with quiet amusement."How long have you been watching?" I asked.He smiled faintly."Long enough to know you weren’t sleeping".I exhaled a quiet laugh and rolled onto my back, stretching bene

Jessica was telling me what happened between her and one of her friends when my phone vibrated against the bed.The sound cut through her sentence."…and I swear if she says that again I--" She stopped, raising a brow. "Are you going to check that or just stare at it as it offended you?"I picked it up expecting it to be a text from Darius. Instead, it was an email.From the company.My pulse shifted slightly as I opened it. The message was short, professional, and polite.They understood that something had come up and were perfectly comfortable with me resuming my position a week later.I stared at the screen, smiling and Jessica noticed immediately."Ohh?" She leaned forward on the bed, curiosity plastered on her face. "That smile means something good happened".I turned the phone so she could see the email."They agreed," I said " I can start next week instead".She reacted by pulling me into a hug"Oh my God, finally," she laughed. "You’re actually going to work"I nudged her shou

The new day felt unusually beautiful. It wasn't the loud and celebratory way some mornings arrived.This one arrived in a quiet, almost fragile way, like the world had agreed to stay silent.The morning light slipped through the curtains, and its rays spread across the floor, climbing slowly toward the bed. I lay still for a while, watching it move.My head throbbed faintly. I felt a dull ache in my forehead, and I pressed the back of my hand to my forehead and exhaled slowly.Yesterday had been strange. Too strange. I woke up yesterday to find myself on the couch, the door unlocked, and with panties.I hadn't gone to church, either. I hadn't stepped outside the house. I hadn't even spoken much to anyone. I had simply stayed inside my room since yesterday evening, drifting between sleep and long stretches of silence.It wasn't like me.And, this morning, coupled with the headache, I feel oddly light. Almost weightless.Maybe it was exhaustion or maybe my mind was just trying to push c

Selene's POVI fell back, sobbing in relief.The nurses moved quickly, cleaning the lightly then wrapping her in soft blankets.“It’s a girl,” Dr. Javier announced with a smile.They placed her in my arms first, and I held our daughter for the very first time. My tears ran freely, my whole body shaking as I cradled the little life I had just brought into the world.“She’s perfect,” I whispered.Killian leaned in, pressing a kiss to both of our foreheads. “You both are.”Holding my baby in my arms was the best feeling in the world. Something inside me shifted the moment her tiny weight settled against my chest. It was like the entire world had gone quiet, and all I could hear was her little breaths.But then one of the nurses stepped forward gently. “Luna, it’s time to clean her up properly. Just for a moment, then we’ll bring her back to you.”The thought of letting her go, even for a second, made my chest ache. Still, I nodded slowly and handed her over.The nurses moved quickly, wip

Killian’s POVSelene spent some time holding the baby, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. The way she kissed the little girl’s forehead, I knew she was imagining our own daughter in her arms and so was I.In just a few months, we’d be parents. A new beginning was waiting for us, and for once in my life, I wasn’t afraid of what the future would bring. I was excited.When we finally returned to my chambers, it was time for her to rest. I held the door open and stepped inside with her, watching as she walked gracefully, despite her little sighs, and sat down on the edge of the bed.Everything about her had changed. She had gained some weight, which only made her glow more and sexy. She sat with a soft sigh, brushing her hair from her face. Then her eyes lifted to me. “Killian,” she said, “to think that you would have taken the joy of a father away from that little princess.”I paused for a second, then let out a long sigh. She was right. The memory of that day haunted me. If it weren’

Selene's POVFrom behind me, Killian’s voice came. “Please, Michael. Don’t hold on to this. Forgive her and let’s move forward from here.”Michael paused. I could feel the tension in his breath. And then, he finally moved. He reached down and lifted my mother from the ground.She looked up at him, her face streaked with tears, trembling like a child. And then he pulled her into an embrace.Something inside me broke and healed all at once. I burst into sobs and wrapped my arms around both of them, holding on as tightly as I could.After all these years, after all the pain and separation, we were finally a family again.***6 MONTHS LATERFather forgave mother, and he returned to the Sacred mountains while she stayed with us. It was a new beginning for all of us.The maids and guards now bowed with respect whenever I passed, and they addressed me as Luna. For the first time in what felt like forever, there was peace. No fear of Lucian. Six months had passed.I sat on the bench, one han

Selene's POVThe guilt in Killian's eyes was impossible to ignore.“Selene…” He said softly. “Every time I close my eyes, I still see your face when I couldn’t stop. You were so pale, and I thought…” He trailed off, shaking his head.I squeezed his hand tighter, forcing him to look at me. “But I’m here,” I whispered. “I’m breathing and I’m alive because you gained control on time. Don’t you dare forget that.”He looked unconvinced, but I didn’t let him speak. I raised my free hand and touched his cheek. “If you spend the rest of your life blaming yourself, you’ll miss everything we fought for. We didn’t come this far just for you to punish yourself.”He leaned into my palm, closing his eyes for a moment. “I don’t know what I’d do without you,” he murmured.“You won’t have to,” I said with a soft smile. “Because I’m not going anywhere.”For the first time, I felt some of the tension in him ease. After a while, I drifted into sleep. When I opened my eyes again, the sun was already brig

Killian's POVHer blood… gosh, her blood tasted so good. It was like drinking the sweetest honey, and I didn’t want to stop.“Killian, please stop!”The voice echoed in my ears, but I didn’t even know who was speaking, all I knew was the taste of Selene.But deep inside, I knew what I was doing. I knew this was her blood, my Selene’s blood, and I was draining her. I wanted to stop, but the sweetness overpowered reason. My body screamed to keep going, to take more. It was like a force pushing me deeper.But then, as her trembling voice kept calling my name, it came with memories. How she told me to trust her. How she said our bond was stronger than this blood pull. How she believed I could fight it.I growled against her skin, my fangs still in her, but my mind pushed its way back to control. I forced myself to stop.When I lifted my head, her pale face came into view. And my gaze… my gaze darkened as I saw the damage I’d done.“I'm sorry” I whispered.“It's okay. You did great.” She

Selene's POVKillian and I rushed toward Soteria, my breathing was ragged with fear.“Soteria, quickly,” I gasped, clutching his hand tighter. “We’re going to perform the ritual!”Soteria spun toward us. “Okay, okay stand here, both of you.” She pointed frantically at a circle etched faintly in the dirt.Killian and I scrambled into position. My chest heaved as I looked between them. “What next?”Soteria’s fingers moved, tracing patterns in the air. Sparks came from her palms like liquid light. “I’m making the potion. Both of you have to drink it.”“What?!” My voice cracked with panic. “You could’ve done that earlier—”“It would only take a minute!” Soteria snapped, sweat beading on her temple. “Now stay still.”A minute felt like an eternity. My throat was dry, my legs twitching. I risked a glance back to see Lucian straining, his eyes blazed with fury, while Michael and the other wizards pressed in tight formation, light streaming from their joined hands to bind them in place.“We c
