Selena’s POV

“Do not fucking tell me that I should forget it, Jake.” I said. My voice was sharp. Shaky. And loud. My chest was rising and falling very fast. And my hands would not stop shaking. “What the hell did you just want to say?”

Jake froze like he was a deer. One that was in the middle of the road and saw headlights coming. He opened his mouth to say something, but he did not say anything. I moved to him. Walking closer to him. I was looking at him like I could get the answers I wanted just from looking.

“You said something that you are not supposed to know about. You—“ I swallowed hard. “You said something about my parents. How do you know about that?”

He used his hands and he rubbed the back of his neck. His eyes were looking at everything but he did not look at me. His other hand was inside his pocket. Like he was trying to hide his nerves there.

“Selena, I did not mean—“

“Don’t you dare Jake. Don’t you dare say that you did not mean it!” I snapped at him. My throat was

    Selena’s POVWe both jumped away from each other. Like we were children that were caught doing something bad. My face was so hot. And my heart was beating so fast in my chest. I don’t even know how Cullen did it. He was already holding a broom and was sweeping nothing, like his life depended on it. I wanted to laugh so bad but now was not the time. And me? I ran straight to his sofa and sat like I was waiting for an exam result.The door creaked open just then, and Brian’s big silly smile popped in first. But the moment he saw me, that smile melted.“Selena…” he dragged my name playfully, lifting one brow. Then his lips curved back up again into that mischievous grin.He shifted his eyes to Cullen and gave him this small side nod, like a silent question. Bro, what’s she doing here?Cullen didn’t even blink. He gave the same kind of nod back, like don’t ask me now.Brian chuckled. But he did it under his breath. Then he closed the door with his leg. Then he moved and dropped on Culle

    Cullen’s POV“What do you mean?” Selena asked, her eyes were focused on me. She was starting to get even more curious. More restless. Like if I did not give her answers, then she was not going to let me rest. But how could I tell her?How could I tell her about my past with Jasmine? How could I confess that once, I had been stupid enough to fall into her trap? That we had a secret affair, filled with mistakes and things I wish I could erase?And worse—how could I ever let Selena know that Jasmine and I had once tried something forbidden? That we had gone through a failed process of being binded by dark magic?It was ugly. It was dangerous. It was shameful.And I wasn’t ready.I looked at Selena’s eyes. So full of trust. So innocent. I couldn’t ruin her world like that. Not yet. Maybe soon, when I had the courage. But not now.“Now is not the right time for you to know all that,” I told her quietly.Her brows furrowed. She leaned forward, pressing me harder. “What do you mean ‘not the

    Selena’s POVIt didn’t take long for Nia to leave the hospital. Just a few days and she was good to go, walking around like nothing had happened. But that didn’t stop Nia from making her crazy plans.“I’m still gonna get back at her, for what she did to both of us,” Nia said, her voice sharp as Ava gently wiped at her cut lips with cotton.I rolled my eyes. “Nia, please. Can you just stop? You’ll get yourself into even more trouble.”Ava nodded, shaking her head like a tired mother. “You never give up, do you? You’re like a dog chasing a bone. Even when the bone turns into fire, you’ll still bite it.”Nia smirked and shrugged. “And what’s wrong with that? Jasmine needs to pay. Simple.”I groaned like I was frustrated. And I fell back on my bed. “No. It’s not that simple, Nia. You’re still healing. Look at your face, Nia. Look at your lips. You almost passed out in the hospital. And now you’re talking about revenge?”Nia raised her brows at me. “Selena, you don’t get it. Some people on

  • A Chance With The Hockey Alpha Captain   Chapter 19

    Selena’s povI realized something.Oh my God. I never told them about Cullen.Cullen quickly took his hands off me like he had touched fire. He kept his hands away, into his pockets. Then he looked away from us. I just stood there, blowing my nose with the tissue he gave to me earlier. I was trying not to look like I was the most awkward human alive right now. Ava’s voice cut through the silence. “I’m talking to you, Selena.” Her voice was sharper this time. Not playful, not soft—sharp. She had caught me. She knew that I was trying so hard to skip her question.I froze where I was standing, and my eyes were looking at the floor. My lips trembled. “Uh… since Jake did what he did, I and Cullen… umm…”I was stammering like a child. The things that I was saying didn’t even look like it was going to make sense. Ava did not let me finish. “You fucked?!” she screamed, her eyes opening so wide I swore I could see her soul.“No!” I shouted at the same time Cullen shouted.We both looked a

    Selena’s POVCullen didn’t even blink. One moment Nia was making pained sounds on the floor and in the next moment, Cullen had carried her into his arms like she didn’t have any weight. His jaw was so hard. His muscles became tighter as he carried her up. I could see the amount of anger that were in his eyes, even if he was not shouting or causing an extra scene. His eyes were burning, and his body moved very fast. And sharp. And for a moment, everyone around him looked so small. “Move,” he snapped at the crowd, his voice low but so dangerous it sent chills crawling down my arms.And just like that, the crowd parted.Phones that had been raised to record dropped to sides. Conversations died. All the people that were cheering for Jasmine and booing Nia, they all started to act innocent. I cast a final look back, just to look at Jasmine. She just stood there, crossing her hands on her chest. She was very calm. Like she did not do anything, like nothing ever happened a few minutes ag
