last update publish date: 2026-02-24 17:41:37

SELENE’S POV

I woke up first. Sunlight sliced through the gap in the curtains and painted thin gold lines across Darius’s bare back. He lay on his stomach, face turned toward me, one arm flung heavy over my waist like he’d pinned me there even in sleep. His breathing stayed deep, steady, the kind of rest he only found after we’d worn each other out completely. I traced the fresh red lines my nails had left down his shoulder blades last night, felt a lazy throb of satisfaction low in my belly.

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   Chapter 73: Silver Awakening

    SELENE’S POV Darkness pressed around me, thick and heavy. Voices drifted in and out, low and urgent, but I couldn’t make out the words. My body felt heavy, limbs weighed down as if stones rested on every joint. I tried to open my eyes, but the light stung, too bright, too sharp. I squeezed them shut again, groaning softly as a splitting headache bloomed behind my temples.Slowly the voices grew clearer. One sounded like Darius, rough with exhaustion. Another belonged to a healer, calm and steady. I focused on breathing, forcing my eyes to adjust to the soft lamplight filling the room. This wasn’t the northern safe house. No cold stone walls. No heavy chains. Instead familiar wooden beams stretched overhead, and the scent of home wrapped around me — cedar, clean linen, and Darius’s warm musk.I turned my head carefully. Darius sat slumped in a chair beside the bed, head resting on his folded arms, eyes closed in exhausted sleep. His face looked drawn, dark circles under his eyes, fres

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   Chapter 72: Fractured Light

    SELENE’S POV The heavy chain around my wrist dug into my skin with every small movement I made. I lay on the narrow bed in the unfamiliar room, staring at the wooden beams overhead while my heart pounded so hard it felt like it might burst through my ribs. The northern safe house smelled of damp stone and pine, the air thick and cold. Bars covered the single window, blocking any view except patches of dark forest. The door had been locked from the outside hours ago. No escape, no sound except my own ragged breathing and the occasional creak of the old wooden frame beneath me.Fear sat like ice in my stomach. I had woken up here after Caelum knocked me out, head throbbing, one wrist fastened to the thick oak bedpost with a silver chain. The last thing I remembered was struggling against him in his study, his hand coming down sharp against my neck. Darius would be looking for me by now. He would tear apart every inch of both packs when he realized I was gone. But how long would it ta

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   Chapter 71: Silver Storm

    DARIUS’ POV I tore through the northern forests like a man possessed, boots pounding over roots and fallen branches while my wolf clawed at the edges of my control. Every second without Selene felt like a blade twisting deeper in my chest. She had been gone too long. No calls. No messages. Nothing. The driver’s story about Lady Veylor sending him away rang false in my gut. Caelum had her. I knew it with every fiber of my being. He had taken her after our fight, hidden her somewhere to break her away from me.My lieutenant, Ronan’s replacement and the man I planned to name beta, ran beside me. His name was Kael. He kept pace without complaint, eyes scanning the trees.“Alpha, he knows more than he’s letting on,” Kael said between breaths. “Caelum’s guards were too nervous. His aunt was too calm. She’s pulling strings.”“I know.” My voice came out rough. “He took her. I’m done asking nicely.”We had left the main pack house hours ago. I couldn’t sit still after returning from Caelum’s

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   Chapter 70: The Safe House

    CAELUM’S POV I stepped through the front doors of the main pack house just as the morning sun climbed higher, my body still aching from the fight with Darius yesterday. Bruises throbbed along my ribs and jaw, but the satisfaction of knowing Selene now lay chained in the northern safe house made every twinge worth it. Lady Veylor had chosen the location well. Isolated, heavily guarded, impossible to find unless you knew exactly where to look. She was mine now, and no one, especially not Darius, would take her away again.Marcus met me in the hallway, his face tight with urgency. “Alpha, Darius just arrived at the gates. He’s demanding to see you and Selene. The guards are holding him, but he looks ready to force his way in.”I stopped walking. A slow smile spread across my face. “Perfect timing. Let him in. I’ll handle this personally.”Marcus hesitated for half a second before nodding and heading back outside. I followed at a slower pace, straightening my shirt and rolling my shoulde

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   Chapter 69: Empty House

    DARIUS’ POV I pushed the front door open well past midnight, the wood creaking softly in the quiet house. The long council meeting had dragged far longer than I expected, filled with endless arguments and pointed questions I barely managed to deflect. My shoulders ache from sitting rigid in that chair for hours. I expected to find Selene waiting in our bedroom, maybe curled up with a book or already asleep with the lamp still on. Instead the room sat dark and empty. The sheets lay rumpled from this morning, but her side of the bed remained untouched. No familiar shape under the covers, no soft breathing filling the silence.A thread of concern pulled tight in my chest. She had every reason to be upset with me for returning so late after promising to be back before lunch. I told myself she had probably stepped outside for some fresh air to clear her head. I crossed to the window and scanned the moonlit yard. The garden paths stood empty, the trees swaying gently in the night breeze.

  • Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me   Chapter 68: Broken Chains

    CAELUM’S POV I watched Selene step into the study, and everything inside me shifted. She stood there in the doorway, eyes wide as she took in the scene. My body still throbbed from the beating Darius had given me earlier, but none of that mattered now. She had come. She stood in my house, and this time I would not let her walk back out.Lady Veylor stayed quiet near the window, but I felt her approval like a shadow at my back. I pushed myself up from the couch, ignoring the sharp pull in my ribs.“You came,” I said.Selene’s gaze flicked to my aunt, then back to me. “I came to understand why you and Darius fought. But I see the reason right here. Why is she free? You locked her away for trying to kill me.”I took a step closer. “She told me the truth. Darius killed my mother during that fight four years ago. He made sure every clue pointed at your father. He started the war that ruined both our packs. He wanted you for himself, so he cleared the path by destroying everything around y
