Chapter: Selena's pov.I wasn't able to sleep early that night, when I woke up the next morning light pouring into the bedroom I couldn't push away in the feeling of unease-the fact that it all felt so temporary. But I already had a plan in motion... If everything goes right.... Then... I jumped out of bed deciding that I was not going to spend the rest of the day just thinking about that and have to begin preparing breakfast for me and Ian. First I began with some of the cleaning of the annex, the headmaid occasionally dropped in from time to time to see if I was actually maintaining the place and since I could not explain my true relationship with Ian yet I had to keep this up, also it kept me occupied when my mind would have been wandering around on its own to memories that I needed to leave be for now.I was taking the broom to the living room when there was pounding on the door and I was confused it was repeated another loud too.Setting the broom aside I went over to the door to inspect what was go

Chapter: Cassius POV.It seems like I might have underestimated Scarlet a bit, I keep forgetting that I should not expect the same humbleness that one would get from other slaves from her. I gave my watch another glance. "They'll be here soon," I see the first word of exchange between the two of us after 5 minutes of stretched silence. She was appearing then disappearing into other rooms of the annex, I said there's just that she was entering the living area. "Who is the person?" She asked and you could tell how the guardedness slipped right into her voice like a cloth it was wearing over. "Just someone to help with our plans," Her lip curved downward. "What? Are you displeased that you are not my only partner? Don't worry the person that is coming is not barely as attractive as you are,"She gave me a cutting look. "I'm just worried... The more people that get involved in this more likely it could leak out to your brother aren't you worried about that?"I shook my head. "No, he is someone that ha

Chapter: Selena's pov.The day ended with me at the annex, and something about that made me want to punch a hole through the wall. I was charming, I was caring. Ian reciprocated to it all. You could tell that he had to keep his wolf on a very tight leash. After all our first-and only-night together was something that I thought would have been repeated by now. Yet even on the moments when it felt like he was finally about to quit and give in he was so frustratingly resilient. "Couldn't he cave just once? ""Who isn't caving?"It was like cold water had been splashed over my back and and began to rapidly trickle down I turned around gasping and swinging my fist in reflexive protection a grip stronger than I had expected held my hand in place."Didn't you know it was me?" He said the group softening as he robbed around my wrist a yanked my hand away from his."I already knew who it was from your annoying voice," I told him. He chuckled, "well at least my voice is memorable to you. That's a good thing righ

Chapter: Selena's pov.Ian returned, a maid trailing behind him with a trail of food. She gave me a sour but brief look as if demanding to know what gave me the audacity to casually rest myself on the sette.Noticing her displeasure I spread myself more comfortably crossing my legs and the gesturing for the food she was holding, by the time she reached me her face was filled with all the blood in her body red with rage that she couldn't do anything with." Thank you," I greeted her with a syrupy voice, and Her face got more red And it even got worse when I added, you can leave now," Her lips twitched.Slaves were regarded lower than the dirt they walked under, And Since mates were usually amongst the lowest ranks of wolves Slaves were the only people they could stomp on.Too bad she wasn't going to get that opportunity now.But she had not understood yet she looked towards Ian."Grand alpha is there anything else you need me to do?" Intentionally ignoring what I had told her earlier. Without taking his eye

Chapter: Selena's pov.The way Ian yelled, I couldn't believe it. Even I myself was shaking. His full Alpha aura came out, and I wondered if I had gone too far. I decided that maybe I had, because as I gradually stood up, I saw him looking at the chef with murderous intent.To make sure that no blood was shed, I shoved past the chef and rushed over to Ian. "Good morning, Grand Alpha."Normally I would just call him by his name, but I was referring to him this way because we were amongst other people and they didn't need to know how close we were just yet. For them, they should just see me as a pitiful slave. For anyone that was also vying for the position, they shouldn't see me as a threat, or else they might choose to get rid of me before I even have the chance to claim what is meant to be mine.His hand was reaching up to touch my cheek, and I signaled for him not to with a small shake of my head. Those fingers curled into a tight fist, and he looked at the chef again.Still looking at me, he told the che

Chapter: Ian's pov."You're supposed to be his older brother!"My father's voice roared back into my mind as it always did, constantly clawing its way into my thoughts to torment me. I could still see myself as a young boy standing before him as he fussed over Cassius after we had a fight and both of us had injuries from it."You're supposed to be more mature than this!" he would roar at me, and then proceed to beat me up to prove his point—for some reason that rationalized what he was doing.He never addressed what had caused the altercation between me and Cassius because, at the end of the day, his dear golden boy could do no wrong. I, for expressing any kind of discomfort or defending myself, was the one out of line.It was the same with our mother too, though at least she pretended as if she didn't have a favorite."You know how Cassius is, Ian. You have to be more understanding of him because he is your brother, and family helps family and forgives too."But this only worked towards Cassius. Even wh
