เข้าสู่ระบบMalakar sat behind me on the horse, close enough that our bodies touched from my back to his chest. He didn’t speak. One arm hung at his side while the other held the reins, keeping the horse moving at a steady pace. Every few moments, he looked at me, his eyes moving over my throat and down to my hands, which were tightly clasped in my lap.I kept my eyes forward and sat stiffly in the saddle, aware of how close he was and the movement of his breathing behind me. Behind us, I could hear the sound of other horses. Ronan was riding there, surrounded by Malakar’s guards.My chest tightened at the thought of him. He had to act like the obedient brother. He had to keep his head down while the man who had killed him in another life rode just behind me, holding the reins."You are very quiet, Seraphina," Malakar said suddenly."I am merely reflecting on my return to your home, My Lord," I replied softly. I used the same submissive tone I had practiced. "It is a big change for me."Malakar r
Selene's POV Garrick’s eyes darted from the rumpled collar of Ronan’s shirt to my own flushed face. I could feel the heat radiating off my skin. We hadn't just woken up in the same house; we had emerged from the same room, behind a locked door, in the early hours of the morning.In this world, Ronan was my brother, Casimir. And in this world, I was a married woman. The "wife" of a powerful, dangerous High Alpha.Garrick’s grip on the small gift package tightened until the paper crinkled. The "friend" who had been smiling so warmly a moment ago now looked like he had been slapped. His gaze dropped to my lips, which I knew were swollen from Ronan’s kisses, and then back to Ronan."Lord Casimir?" Garrick’s voice was thin, vibrating with a mix of confusion and a rising, ugly suspicion. "What... why are you coming out of Seraphina’s bedroom? At this hour?"Beside him, Helena looked like she wanted to melt into the floorboards. Her eyes were wide, darting toward the stairs as if praying fo
Selene's POVRonan pulled the door open.But instead of seeing Malakar’s furious face, Garrick stood there, holding a small wrapped package with a stupid grin on his face. I let out a quiet breath, relieved it wasn’t Malakar. Even though I knew this moment of peace wouldn’t last, I was glad it wasn’t now.I stepped out first. The moment I saw him, something hot and ugly rose up in my chest. I stared at him, feeling pure rage.This man. This idiot right here almost destroyed everything. He ran to Malakar like a lovesick child and told him everything Helena said about this falsified world just because I rejected him. Because I slapped him. Because he couldn't handle hearing no. Ronan almost died because of him. I almost didn't make it to the forbidden light because of him.I looked at his smiling face and wanted to make him regret every single choice he ever made.Then I stopped myself.He doesn't remember any of it.I already erased his memories. To him, right now, none of that ever ha
Mature Content Warning: This chapter contains explicit sexual scenes and adult themes. Reader discretion is advised.....Selene's POVI woke up first the next morning. Ronan’s arm was still wrapped tight around my waist, his chest pressed to my back, his breath warm on my neck. We were both naked under the thin sheet. My body still felt heavy and sore in the best way from last night. I didn’t want to move. I wanted to stay right here forever, skin on skin, no one else in the world.Ronan stirred behind me. His hand slid up my stomach, slow and lazy, until it cupped my breast. He squeezed gently, thumb brushing over my nipple. It hardened instantly.“Morning,” he mumbled, voice rough from sleep.“Morning,” I whispered back.He kissed the back of my shoulder, then my neck. His cock was already hard, pressing against my ass. I pushed back against him just a little, teasing.“You’re gonna kill me,” he said with a low laugh.“Good way to go,” I answered.He rolled me onto my back in one s
Mature Content Warning: This chapter contains explicit sexual scenes and adult themes. Reader discretion is advised....Selene's POV He kissed me again, deeper. His hands lifted my shirt. I raised my arms so he could pull it off. I wasn't wearing anything under it. His eyes went dark when he saw my breasts. He bent his head and kissed my neck, then moved lower. His mouth closed over one nipple. He sucked gently. I gasped and grabbed his hair. He used his tongue in slow circles. Pleasure shot straight between my legs. I moaned and pushed my chest closer to his mouth.He switched to the other nipple and gave it the same attention. His hands stayed on my waist, holding me steady while I started breathing faster.I tugged at his shirt. "Off," I said.He helped me pull it over his head. His chest was strong, with some fresh bruises, but I didn't care. I kissed the center of his chest, right over his heart. He made a low sound and held my head gently.We moved to the bed. I sat on the edg
Selene's POVWe got back to the Frostveil Pack house without anyone stopping us. Ronan never let go of my hand during the walk. When we stepped inside, we went straight to my bedroom. I shut the door and turned the lock so no one could come in.We need to be alone to plan. I know Malakar will come back tomorrow, so we have to figure things out now. There’s no time for me to rest.He stood near the bed, looking at me. His face still showed cuts and dried blood from the fight with Malakar, but his eyes were soft when they met mine.I walked over to him. "You're still hurt."“It’s not bad. I told you, you don’t have to worry. It’ll heal soon. I heal faster, remember?” he said.I reached up and touched the cut on his cheek very gently. He closed his eyes for a second at the contact."I don't like seeing you bleed," I told him."I'm okay now that you're safe," he answered with a smile but I knew it was just to calm me down.I stepped even closer until our bodies touched. My heart started p
My rage burned like fire in my chest. The sight of Owen—who I believe was Elias—standing there with blood dripping from his hands and pack members dead around him, was too much. I could barely think straight."You monster!" I said furiously. "You killed them all!" Then, with a cruel scoff, I added,
The laughter between us faded slowly, the last of it still lingering in the air like the faintest echo. The forest around us was no longer dark—the sun had risen just enough to cast a dull, eerie glow over everything, painting the trees in shades of gray and muted gold. But as we stepped closer to
The strange smile that flickered across Owen's bloodstained face vanished as quickly as it had appeared. I stared at him, my hands still gripping his shoulders to keep him steady. Something twisted in my gut—a warning, perhaps, or just the natural reaction to seeing someone I cared about covered in
The forest was dark and full of mist as the sky slowly started to brighten. I kept walking, my boots making quiet sounds on the ground. Faye’s voice stayed in my head—warm and steady. I had never had that before. After so many years alone, she was the only one with me now.I’m still deep in the for
