MATE UNDER THE MOON

Selene’s POVMy life had been a dream ever since I was promised to one day become Alpha Asher’s Luna and rule the pack with him. My father, who was the most respected member of the Lycan council, had assured me that I just needed to sit pretty and wait for the right time.Finally, this was the time. The mating ceremony was no longer up to twenty-four hours to begin. However, something still had me worried. My soon-to-be mate had been acting distant for the past days and it didn’t make any sense to me at all.“You are just like your mother, little angel,” My father’s deep voice echoed softly in the room. “You worry a little too much about everything.”“Do I? Alpha Asher would officially be my mate in not less than twenty-four hours and he’s acting as though I don’t even exist. Why am I not supposed to be worried?”“Because he is the Alpha and as we all know, Alphas have a lot of responsibilities. Plus, I guarantee he is planning a rare gem wedding for you and he’s only busy with the p

Selene’s POVAfter stepping out from the warm tub, I had Elaine, one of the maids that left with me that night, approach me with a hairbrush in her hands. I had completely lived alone with her for five years now in this medium-sized apartment, with my father visiting only a few times. Thankfully, my father made sure that it was somewhere very far away from Ravens pack while I made sure that it had everything not to make me miss that awful packhouse.“You just keep getting prettier by the day, Selene,” Elaine smiled while I let her help me with my hair. Of course, she had become like a friend to me, and our friendship was the one I knew wouldn’t be falling apart soon.“You never get tired of flattering me, Elaine,” I smiled back only to notice the worried look in her eyes. “What’s wrong?”“It’s really nothing serious,” she lied and I could tell because her lips were quivering.“There’s never a point in you trying to lie to me, Elaine so speak up already. What is the matter?”“I’m just

Selene's POVI froze.It took me some time to process everything I was hearing. "I asked to get protected. I didn't ask to be sent back into a lion's den." I spoke while trying to stay strong."If you are going to be my Luna, you must do this." He replied to me, and I looked up at him and cleared my throat."Up until now, I used to think I'm important to you. But clearly, you aren't. I apologize for coming to-" "Don't be funny. Come here," he said, bringing me closer to him and touching my hair intimately."Don't touch me!" I muttered and that seemed to irk him the hell up. He pushed me back to the seat and suddenly became aggressive. "Alpha Damian, when you sent in your request to have me as yours, you made mention of the fact that you adore me and want me passionately. Is this how you treat a woman you claim to adore?""You mean a woman my enemy rejected. Why don't you feel helpless? Look this is for you. And it's either you do it or have to eat your father's head. There is no othe

Selene's POV It's been three days since I set my eyes on Damian. I heard he had been busy with pack duties but I didn't care and just focused on being myself. A lot of the pack members who visited the palace were starting to notice me and were already looking up to me as their Luna even without me saying a word. I sat in my room that evening, staring at the sky through the room window when I heard the door open. I blinked without moving when suddenly, I caught a scent that didn't belong to Elaine.Stunned, I looked back only to find Alpha Damian staring at me; this time, there was no anger or threats in his eyes. All I could see was affection, and it didn't just get me surprised; it got me worried. "Did you really never miss me?" He questioned, his voice surprisingly so soft. I sat up and then got closer to him. "Do you realize you are on my bed?" I asked him and he laughed. "If you are going to be my Luna then I shouldn't be worried about a simple bed. You also shouldn't be worri

Selene's POV "Alpha Asher's father murdered my mom?" I couldn't keep it in anymore."Are you alright Selene?" Damian looked up worriedly and came to hold me. He took the book from me and saw what I had seen. "What? Are you the daughter of Rose Nightfall or could there be another Rose Nightfall?" He asked and I looked at him as though he was stupid.The entire pack and beyond knew of only one Nightfall family. My heart weakened, and I staggered backward. "Asher's father indeed killed my mom," I whispered and was about to faint when Damian grabbed me and carried me straight in. He took me straight to his own room and placed me on his bed. I burst out crying. "No! I didn't even get to see my mom in my entire lifetime and it's all because of Asher's father. I can't believe Dad was going to get me to marry my biggest enemy. Ahhh!!!""Crying isn't going to do shit for you. Let me know when you are interested in knowing why your mother became a victim of Alpha Richard Blackwood." Damian
