Denver.“I’m fine,” she whispered hoarsely.No.She wasn’t.She looked exhausted now. Pale beneath the dim light. Shaken in a way that went deeper than fear.Then her knees almost gave out.I crossed the room instantly.Selena barely had time to react before I caught her carefully against me.I slid one arm beneath her knees before lifting her into my arms fully.She stiffened slightly at first, like she still wasn’t sure what to do with my touch anymore.That hurt more than I expected.But after a second, her fingers curled weakly into the front of my shirt.And something inside me cracked quietly apart. Every time I looked at those marks, something ugly twisted inside my chest all over again.Christopher’s hands had been on her.And I hadn’t gotten there fast enough.The thought alone nearly made me violent again.“Alpha?”One of the guards spoke carefully from near the doorway.I ignored him completely.My attention stayed fixed on Selena. I carried her out of the room without ano
Denver.After Selena left my room, I stayed back because I initially felt she needed time to process all we had just talked about. But the longer I stayed in that room, the more wrong it felt to let her walk away carrying all of that alone.We had already lost seven years to lies. I wasn’t willing to lose another night.But halfway down the corridor, I heard something crash inside Selena’s room.The violence in that sound didn’t match anything I expected to find.So without thinking, I shoved the door open.The first thing I noticed was the metallic stench of blood.Then Selena.Christopher had her pinned against the wall.His hands locked around her throat while she clawed desperately at his wrists, her face pale with panic.For half a second—I couldn’t move. The sight hit me so hard my vision actually blurred for a second.Then rage exploded so violently through my body that I barely remembered crossing the room.Christopher turned too late.I hit him hard enough to send him crash
Selena.For a moment, I couldn’t move.“Christopher stood in the doorway as though he belonged there, calm dark eyes fixed on me while the silence between us thickened into something suffocating.Every instinct inside me screamed that something was wrong.Because for the first time since I met him, I wasn’t looking at Christopher through confusion or heartbreak or guilt.I was looking at him through what he was capable of. And somehow that made him feel unfamiliar.Dangerous in a way I had never fully allowed myself to see before.“What are you doing here?” I asked quietly.Christopher’s gaze moved slowly across my face, lingering briefly on the redness around my eyes before he smiled faintly.“That’s how you welcome your long-lost mate?”The words made my stomach twist violently.“You have no business coming here.”Instead of answering, Christopher pushed the door wider and walked into the room without permission.The movement startled me enough that I instinctively stepped backward.
Selena.By the time I left Denver’s room, I felt like someone had split my world open and quietly rearranged everything inside it.The hallway stretched endlessly ahead of me, dimly lit and far too quiet for the storm raging inside my head. My footsteps sounded distant against the marble floors as I walked, but I barely noticed them.All I could hear was Denver’s words.I never cheated on you.Christopher tried to stop you from seeing me.I only ate the apple.I was drugged.My chest tightened painfully.Because the worst part wasn’t that I believed him. It was that deep down, some part of me already had before he even finished speaking.I wrapped my arms tighter around myself as I continued down the corridor, trying to steady my breathing.For seven years I had lived with the certainty that Denver betrayed me.That he chose another woman.That everything we shared had meant less to him than I’d foolishly believed.But now…Now the memories felt different.Wrong somehow.Like I had be
Selena.It was already late but for some reason I couldn't sleep so I picked up a book to read, hoping to fall asleep while reading. I had barely read past the first page when a knock on my bedroom door came so suddenly that I nearly dropped the book in my hand.Before I could answer, one of Denver’s guards stepped inside looking tense.“Doctor Selena,” he said quickly. “It’s Alec.”My stomach dropped instantly.“What happened?”“He’s having another seizure. They are in alpha Denver''s room.”Everything inside me froze for half a second before panic slammed violently into my chest.I was already moving before he finished speaking.“A doctor is with him?” I asked breathlessly while hurrying down the hallway.“Yes.”Fear twisted harder inside me anyway.All I could think about was Alec shaking violently on that bed.My pulse thundered painfully as I rushed toward Denver’s room without thinking.The door was already partially open.I pushed inside immediately.“Alec—”The words died in
Selena.The first thing I noticed when I saw Jameson was his battered face and blood.Not a little blood.A lot.A sharp breath left me before I could stop it.“Oh my God.”Jameson looked up slowly from the doorway, one side of his mouth split badly enough that dried blood still stained his jaw. Bruises darkened the skin around his eye, and his knuckles looked swollen like someone had repeatedly smashed them against concrete.My stomach tightened instantly.“What happened to you?”Jameson stared at me for a second.Then he gave a short humorless chuckle.“You know what happened.”Silence fell immediately between us. The memory of his earlier text; Denver wants to see me. flashed through my head.Jameson leaned weakly against the wall beside the entrance of his room before shaking his head slightly.“I was a fool, honestly.”“Jameson—”“No.” Another quiet laugh escaped him, though this one sounded more exhausted than amused. “I actually thought I had a chance with you.”Guilt twisted
Selena. Dinner was announced just after sunset.I had hoped the day would end quietly, that I could retreat to my room and gather myself after seeing Silas earlier, but that hope dissolved the moment a servant informed me that the family would be dining together in the private chamber.Family.The
Denver.I woke that morning to the sound of someone knocking on the door.I groaned, unwilling to open my eyes for another hour or two, but when the door opened and my beta walked in, I knew sleep was done for.“Good morning, Alpha,” Jacob greeted as he stepped further into the room.“Good morning,
SelenaI saw them before they saw me.They were hidden in a dark corner off the west corridor, where the torchlight barely reached and the stone walls swallowed every sound. My stomach clenched before I even realized I’d stopped walking.Christopher has Joyce pressed against the wall, his mouth on
Denver.Christopher’s hand closes around her wrist before I can stop myself from noticing.It is not gentle. It is not ceremonial. It is the grip of ownership."What is happening here, Selena?" I wondered as I watched them close the distance between us.“Uncle,” Christopher says, drawing her forwar
