SELENE

They all began to eat, no one dared to speak but Luca did.

He dropped his fork on the plate. “Uhmm.. no one should be late tomorrow.” Luca’s voice echoed through the silence.

His words dropped heavy onto the dining table. The sound of cutlery stopped, even the air felt still. No one looked up. No one replied.

And then, Leila walked in, her hair packed up and her face looked like she had just woken up from three days sleep.

“Wow.” She said as she put her hand around the waist. “You people are so full of evil,” she said, as she walked toward the table. “No one even woke me up to come have dinner. I was starving so bad I literally dreamed of food.”

“Thought you might be tired.” One of the maids said.

Another spoke up too. “You locked your door. So we weren’t able to get to you.”

“You could have knocked.” Leila shot back at them.

“They did. But you slept horribly.” Zarek said, his voice firm and deep.

“I was making the dress you asked me, so this is how you repay your sister?” Le

  • A Contract With An Alpha   Chapter 96

    SELENEMira stepped forward again, that same false softness in her eyes, but there was steel beneath it.“Alpha,” she said, voice velvet. “I didn’t get to finish what I wanted to say. About Lucien.”Zarek’s jaw twitched. “Speak.”Mira’s hand brushed against his. Deliberate. Calculated. “We can only speak in private… or your office. This isn’t a matter for the training field.” She tilted her head slightly, her voice quiet but strong. “I’m only trying to help you, Zarek. You need Lucien’s information, right? And now I’m offering to give that, even though he is… was my Alpha.”Zarek didn’t answer right away.Her next words were whispered like a confession. “I don’t want him anymore. I’m willing to see him fall.”The silence that followed was long enough for tension to rise like smoke.Then Zarek gave a clipped nod. “Fine. Let’s head into my office.”He turned toward Luca. “Keep everyone busy. I’ll be back soon.”Luca gave a short nod and shot a quick glance at me—more protective than que

  • A Contract With An Alpha   Chapter 95

    SELENEMira stepped in front of us, unbothered by the tension she was stepping into like a knife through butter. Her posture was elegant, but there was something sly behind her eyes, like a snake warming itself in sunlight.“You see, Alpha, I would love to speak with you in private,” she said softly, her voice carrying just enough to be heard. “About Lucien… if you don’t mind.”Lucien.The name didn’t sting like it used to. Now it just burned with purpose. A quiet and dangerous purpose.I raised a brow.Mira turned her head to me, polite but firm. “Luna. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”Her challenge was subtle, buried under pleasantries, but it was there. Testing me. Poking me to react.I didn’t flinch.I smirked instead, slowly nodding. “It’s fine with me,” I said, my voice cool.Before Zarek could say anything, Evelyn was suddenly beside me like a weed growing out of nowhere. She grabbed my hand, plastering on that sugary smile.“You can join us here,” she said, eyes wide with mock s

  • A Contract With An Alpha   Chapter 94

    SELENE“Selene is in charge of everything. Not her, she doesn’t have the right to arrange gatherings like that.” Zarek’s voice cut through the tension like a blade.Luca hesitated, his eyes flickered to me immediately. “You know I can’t stop her, Alpha,” he said, voice low but steady.Zarek didn’t move, he didn’t speak for a moment. The air around him shifted, calm, but laced with quiet warning. “Selene,” he said, turning to me now. “You should do something.”I tilted my head slightly, a smirk tugging at my lips. “There’s nothing I can do, Zarek. You and I both know how Evelyn is.”His jaw clenched as he let out a slow breath, like he was holding himself back from snapping. Then, without another word, he reached down and laced his fingers through mine, pulling me gently but firmly toward the door.“Where are we going?” I asked.“To put an end to this circus.”He didn’t let go of my hand as we walked. The warmth of his palm grounded me, even as my nerves buzzed under my skin. When we s

  • A Contract With An Alpha   Chapter 93

    SELENEZarek just stood there with his hand behind his back, watching me like I was something fragile, but not weak. Never weak.“I’m dead serious. I didn’t poison her,” I said again, my voice firmer this time.He just smirked. “I know. Don’t force yourself to convince me.” He said then he poured himself a cup of wine.I shifted uncomfortably on the bed.That smile was so calm, so unreadable, it made my stomach twist. Was he testing me? Or had he already made up his mind?I folded my arms tightly across my chest. “No. It seems like people aren’t believing me. They want to use this to strip me of everything, my title, my place and my voice. But I’m not going to let anyone exile me this time.” I looked him dead in the eyes. “I’m standing my ground, just so they know I am not the same Luna I was before. Now I have something to protect.”Zarek didn’t respond immediately. Just tilted his head slightly, his lips curved into that unreadable half-smile. Like he was waiting for something.Like

  • A Contract With An Alpha   Chapter 92

    SELENE“Are you threatening me?” Evelyn asked, her gaze locked on mine.I smirked. “It sounds like that, right?”Then I snapped my fingers lightly in front of her face. “Then maybe it’ll happen in reality. Just be good, okay?” I said, tapping her shoulder with two fingers.Her body flinched.And then, like a puppet whose strings had just been cut, Evelyn collapsed.I didn’t move. Didn’t blink. She hit the floor with a dull thud, her limbs limp, head rolling sideways as her eyes fluttered shut.A second of silence.Then chaos.“Beta Evelyn!”Two figures sprinted down the hallway. Her maids, Vivian and Clara, skirts lifted, eyes wide with panic.They dropped beside her, voices choked with terror. “Wake up! Please, Beta Evelyn!”“She’s not breathing right,” Clara gasped.Then both women turned their wide, accusing eyes on me.“What did you do to her, Luna?” Vivian shouted, voice cracking.I didn’t answer. Because I didn’t know what to say. My mind was spinning. I looked down at Evelyn, h

  • A Contract With An Alpha   Chapter 91

    SELENEThe tires crunched against the gravel as Evelyn drove through the wrought-iron gates of the Dark Vale compound. They shut behind her with a metallic groan, sealing her in like a prisoner returning to her cage. Her car rolled to a stop outside the mansion—cold stone, regal windows, towering silence.I watched her from the steps.She just sat there for a moment, white-knuckled on the steering wheel, staring at the house like it might swallow her whole.Her scent hit me before she even stepped out.Faint, but different.Something sharp beneath her usual layers—fear, desperation… and something else I couldn’t place yet.Then Zarek was beside me. He moved fast, eyes locked on her like he already sensed something was wrong.He reached her before she even killed the engine.“You look pale,” he said.I watched her blink up at him, like she’d just realized he was there.She fumbled for her bag. Her fingers froze briefly—then she yanked her hand away like she’d touched fire.“I better he
