Selina’s POV

It started with the flowers. Three white calla lilies. Sitting quietly in a crystal vase on my office table.

There was no note, no delivery receipt, and no receptionist confirming anything had arrived.

They were just there.

I stared at them like they were something alive, something waiting to bloom and bite. Clean. Elegant. Precise. The kind of gesture designed to make you question your own memory. Had you ordered them and forgotten? Had someone slipped past your security and made a fool of you?

Or worse… was it a message?

My stomach twisted as I stepped closer, heels silent against the Italian marble floors. I didn’t need to touch them to know they were real.

I’d smelled this exact arrangement before.

Five fucking years ago. In his bedroom. Before everything burned.

“Vera,” I said, tapping the button on the intercom. “Did you authorize any deliveries this morning?”

Her voice came through calm and composed, as always. “No, Miss Carter. You specifically requested no contac

    Selina’s POVI wasn’t expecting her. Not tonight. Not now.But when Vera walked into my temporary office at the Blackwood estate—wearing a crisp blazer, sharp heels, and no-nonsense energy cloaked in sisterhood—I knew something was off. Not from the way she entered. No, that was Vera. Controlled. Unapologetic. Calculated. It was her eyes.There was fire behind them. Not the kind that burns everything down.The kind that burns everything clean.“You have five minutes,” I said, already feeling my stomach tighten.Vera closed the door behind her and leaned against it, arms crossed.“This isn’t a five-minute conversation.”I leaned back in the leather chair, letting out a slow breath. “Then start talking.”She didn’t move right away. Just watched me, as if trying to gauge how deep the knife would need to go. One thing is, ever since she found out Grant is her mate, it's like she has some sort of supernatural powers. She has changed a lot, and that is starting to scare me a bit.Finally, s

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    He’s hiding something

    Lucas She didn’t just sleep with him.She made sure I heard it. The sound of her moaning for someone else—his name echoing through the walls of my own home—wasn’t just a knife to the chest.It was the entire blade, twisted.And I let it happen.I could’ve stopped it. I could’ve had him dragged out, torn apart, erased.But I didn’t.I sat in this goddamn study like a king on a crumbling throne, listening to the only woman I’ve ever craved let another man wreck her between my walls, on my territory, under my command. This is not the first time she has done something like this. She had always done it, and it hurts.I clenched my jaw so hard my teeth ached.The whiskey bottle was almost empty. I hadn’t touched the glass. Just drank straight from the neck, like the burn might somehow cauterize what she’d done.But the worst part—the sickest, most unholy part—was that I got hard.Hearing her voice, hearing him take what should’ve been mine… I wanted to tear the door off its hinges and take

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    She's pissed

    Selina's POVThe cold in Lucas’s house hit different. It seeped, like the echo of an insult, through the double-glazed glass and steel, curling up from the white marble under my bare feet. I sat at the foot of the guest room bed—my bed now, I guessed, since my own apartment had been torched to hell—and watched the city smear itself against the dawn. A dull bruise of orange and gray pressed the skyline, the sun struggling to make it through the exhaust and anxiety that ran this city.I could still smell Jonathan on my skin. The scent was cut through with Lucas’s aftershave—a rich, surgical kind of clean that lingered on sheets and doorknobs and the insides of my elbows. Even the bathroom soap was branded, bespoke, and aggressive. Every corner of this place broadcasts his presence, a silent intercom of power. It would have felt like luxury, if not for the knowledge that I was here on borrowed patience. Lucas was the last thing between me and a shallow grave, or at least unemployment so

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    I know what turns you on

    Vera’s POVThere’s a difference between watching and waiting.I had done both.Since the moment Selina stepped foot onto Blackwood territory, her son in tow and her past wrapped in secrets too sharp to touch, I had kept my eyes open and my silence tighter than steel. Not because I didn’t trust her.But because I trusted her too much.Selina Carter was brilliant. Brave. Dangerous in the way only a woman who’s been broken and rebuilt can be. But she wasn’t cold. Not really. That was what worried me. Because cold women survive. Warm women burn. And Selina… was starting to melt again.And Lucas? Lucas was flame incarnate.They were playing with fire, both of them, and neither realized the forest they were standing in was bone-dry.That was why I found myself pacing toward Grant’s room that evening. Because I knew what Selina was doing—using Jonathan like a blade, slicing open old wounds she hadn’t let heal. And I knew Lucas. He was already bleeding under all that armor, but he’d never sho

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Don't fuck this up

    LucasSelina sauntered over, glass shards glittering in her palm, and crouched in front of me, her thighs spreading just enough for me to glimpse the slick wetness between her legs. Her scent hit me like a fist.She put her face close to mine. “You can either hate me for what I did, or you can admit you want me, Lucas. But pick one.”My tongue was thick in my mouth. I could taste her, and I hated how much I craved it. I did this because I thought she was going to be soft on things after moving here, that I would get a chance with her. Fix things, but no, I dug my own fucking grave because Selina hates me.“You think I want you after this?” I spat, gesturing at her, at Jonathan.She shrugged. “You never stopped wanting me. I can smell it.” She pressed her palm to my chest, sticky with her own blood. “But you had your chance, Lucas. And you threw me away.”Jonathan watched, his eyes bright. He didn’t get it. He never would. I mean, he's human, but I don't buy that human shit.“Why him?”

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    My mistake

    LucasI sat on the torn leather couch, elbows braced against my knees, breathing through clenched teeth. My fists left imprints in the dead animal hide. I watched a fly dance around the mouth of an empty bourbon bottle, my gaze trying to burn the bug out of existence, but I knew it wasn’t the fly I hated. It wasn’t the bottle, or the half-lit, dingy living room, or even the dull ache grinding between my temples.It was me.Maybe that was why Selina did what she did. Or maybe it was payback, but it has always been payback when it comes to her. I deserved it—I’d humiliated her in front of the whole fucking pack, rejected her under the full moon, like she was some whore and not the woman the fates dropped in my lap. But I’d never—never—done what she just did to me or what she has been doing to me lately. Not this. Not bringing another man into my house, fucking him, letting him mark everything with his scent while I sat in the next room, half drunk and pretending I didn’t care.Selina’s
