Selene’s POVMy heart pounded in fear as I rushed out of the dining hall to Darius’ chambers. He had rushed out as soon as Damien informed him that Lucas was finally awake. I was glad when Lucas didn’t regain consciousness after one week of treatment by the pack healer. Darius ensured there was provision for everything needed to hasten Lucas’ recovery but it was as though all his efforts proved abortive.I had prayed that he would never wake up, I secretly wished that he would die while in a coma. I couldn’t find my way into Darius’ chambers to end Lucas' life because Damien made sure he was never left alone in the chambers.Different thoughts ran through my mind as I got closer to the chambers, my heart began to beat faster as the thought of him screaming my name when he saw me crossed my mind. My legs trembled as I walked but I tried to force myself to keep walking. I needed to confirm that he was awake with my own eyes. I listened to the voices inside the room as I approached th
Darius’ POV“How are you doing, my love?” I asked Selene as I walked inside her room.My face was beaming with smiles as I walked closer to her bed and I placed a soft kiss on her forehead. I was so happy when she broke the news about her pregnancy to me, words couldn't express how happy I was. I had been expecting an heir from her over the years that she had been the Luna of the Moonshade pack.I had been secretly worried about Selene not being able to conceive over the years, but I didn’t want to show it because I knew it would hurt her feelings. “Good morning, my lord.” She yawned as she stretched her body on the bed.I watched as she pushed the blanket off her body and sat up on the bed. “You are up already?” She asked sleepily. “The sun is up already, sweetheart. Is it the pregnancy that’s making you sleepy?” “Come on get up, baby. You need to eat early for the baby. I’m sure the baby is hungry already.” I said jokingly as I tried to pull her up from the bed. “Oh common, ba
Lily’s POV“Selene is pregnant?” I asked Amaya with my mouth widened in shock as I walked inside the palace with a pile of dry clothes I had washed earlier.“Yes. I heard it from her personal maid.” She replied convincingly. “Interesting’” I sighed heavily. Selene had been unable to conceive ever since became the Luna of Moonshade pack. I knew she was worried that she would be unable to give Alpha Darius an heir to the pack. I felt as though my hope of reuniting with Alpha Darius had been shattered forever with the news of the pregnancy. I didn't imagined he would ever had anything to do with me again. “Are you okay, Lily? You have been quiet.” Amaya inquired, interrupting my thoughts. “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m okay.” I lied. Of course I wasn't okay. How could I be okay when the first man I have ever loved and who was supposed to be my fated mate was about to be given an heir by an evil woman.Selene didn't only stole my mate from me, she stole my life, my happiness and everything th
Selene’s POVI stared daggers at Damien as he walked inside the room. If looks could kill he would be ten feet below. Why the hell did he have to walk in when I was about to have a pleasant moment with Darius? “What is the problem?” Darius asked. “I’m sorry if I interrupted you, my lord.” He apologized as our eyes met, I was sure he understood the reason I looked at him that way. “It’s fine. Why are you here?” I asked before Darius could open his mouth. “You have a guest my lord.” He replied facing Darius. “Oh right. I forgot I have a meeting with one of the betas. I’m still trying to catch those people who attacked the palace.” “Tell him I’ll join him in a few minutes,” Darius instructed. “I have heard you, my lord,” Damien replied as he walked out of the room. “Selene, I’m sorry I have to go now. I promise to spend the night in your room today. The meeting is very important, I can’t cancel it.” He pleaded, his tone soft and calm. I know right. The meeting was more important
Darius’ POVMy pillow was soaked with sweat as I opened my eyes. I had been having strange dreams ever since the day I almost gave Lily a claiming bite. I always dreamt about seeing her crying in a dungeon. Selene had told me that she was locked up in the dungeon by the late Alpha for trying to deceive me. The only thing that kept confusing me was the look on her eyes, she looked innocent as though she was falsely accused.Different fragments of memories kept drifting back to my mind but I couldn’t put the pieces together. I decided to go to the dungeon and see the place for myself. “Why don’t you invite her to your room if you miss her so badly?” My wolf said to me suddenly. “Don’t tell me you are listening to my thoughts.” I retorted and my wolf quickly went silent.‘Good,’ I thought. I had been craving for Lily’s touch since that day but I tried my best to compose myself whenever she was around me. I was convinced that there was a part of the story that Selene had left out whe
Lily’s POVI was doing the dishes in the kitchen when I sensed Alpha Darius standing behind me. His scent invaded my senses and my body reacted to his presence instantly.My heartbeat increased as he walked closer to me, I quickly dropped the plate I was holding and turned to face him. “Do you want anything, my lord?” I asked as he moved closer to me with seductive eyes. “I want you, Lily.” He replied. I gasped as I felt the touch of his arms around my tiny waist. He moved his lips closer to mine and placed a gentle kiss on them. My nipples hardened as he pressed his body against mine. He pulled off my shirt gently, his silver-gray eyes locked into mine. He dropped the shirt on the floor and he began to press my breast with his two hands gently. I felt a tingling sensation as his lips grazed over my neck. He stuck out his tongue and he played with my nipple slowly, I let out a low moan as I ran my fingers through his black shiny hair. “What if Selene walks in on us?” I whispere
