LOGINSelene’s POVThe moment the guards grabbed me, I snapped back to reality.“I didn’t poison anyone! I have no hand in whatever is happening to Elysia.” I yelled, but the glares of the people only intensified.I kept my gaze on the head council, “Think about this too. How’s Elysia the only one who’s affected, a lot of people ate from that food and none of them were affected—”He turned to the guards, “One more word from her and you all would be the ones beheaded.”The guard’s grip tightened on me and they spun me around, the claws digging deep into my skin. But I didn’t relent. Their hands burned me like lava, their touch so disgusting that I wanted nothing more than to yank their hands away from my body.“The king…” they pulled my harder, “you’re going against his orders.”The man never budged and the further they dragged me away from the castle, the more fury burned through me. I tried to weasel my way out of their hold but Elysia's father's threat to them must have burned into their
Selene’s POVMy lips thinned into a straight line, “I’m no one’s plaything.” I declared.Her eyes roamed my body then back to my face. She nodded slightly as though noting something, “Selene, is it?”I nodded and she clocked her tongue. “You’ve not been coming to our meetings, do you think you’re any special because you’re the king’s personal maid?”I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her. I had better things to do than this.“I wasn’t aware there were any meetings to begin with.”Whisperings traveled around the room and the intensity of the stares of the crowd grew.“I don’t appreciate your tone.” She said, shooting daggers at me, “And when I talk, you listen. Don’t respond until I give you permission to.”“But you just asked a question…” I trailed off.The whisperings behind me intensified. Nina’s ear strained and she sent everything that she heard to me.She has always carried her shoulder high as if she’s a high profile figure since she got here.She needs to be put in her plac
Selene’s POVThief?She definitely didn’t just call me that.But her gaze was intent on me and she looked just like she wanted to jump me and snap my head off my neck. Lucian on the other hand had a deep frown set into his face.Her broken sobs seemed to break me out of whatever reverie I was held in alongside Lucian.“She’s a manipulative thief and she deserves to burn in the deepest parts of hell.” She didn’t give anyone the chance to talk again before continuing, “She stole my necklace.”“What nonsense are you saying?” My mouth parted open in shock for a while, I tried to process all that she just said. I even racked my brain a bit to check whether or not I truly took it but I haven’t touched any other necklace other than the one on my neck in months.“How are you so bold to accuse me of such a thing?”“Well, that’s because I’m certain that you took it. I have a lot of proof and witnesses.” She said through gritted teeth.“Selene can’t take your necklace, are you sure you checked w
Lucian’s POVI watch as her eyes go wide like a deer caught in headlights, and the drool dripping down her mouth got drawn back immediately. Her entire face went red and she looked everywhere else in the room but at me.“Uhm, Darius said you wanted to see me.” She mumbled, her voice coming out so small that I almost didn’t hear her.“He did?” I frowned a bit. I never told him that but I remembered that I missed his call while in a meeting with the head of intelligence.I moved over to where I put my phone and sure enough, a text had come in from him.Selene wants to train. Didn’t you say that Lily said she can’t go through any strenuous activities, haven’t you told her?My eyes moved to Selene who suddenly snapped her head away from me. She was staring again.“You wanted to train?”“Yes. Why couldn’t I? Your Beta stopped me before I could start.” Her eyes had grown a bit cold. She didn’t seem to like whatever Darius told her.I moved a bit closer to her, this time not on instinct or
Selene’s POVHe wasn’t lying when he said I’d start staying on the same floor as him. The words had hit me like a rock and I had asked if he was joking at first, but he wasn’t.I understood why he said that the next day when I was planning to move. The council sent me a letter, reminding me that my time was almost up alongside Liam’s. Apparently, they thought the King was only trying to cover up for me with that proclamation of me being his maid—just like Elysia had thought.The shock on the head council’s face after he summoned me and I confirmed that I was really Lucian’s maid wasn’t so good.But now, I’m currently on the training grounds with Liam who was grumbling beside me.“It’s not that bad, just drag it up or something,” I told him for the third time.Well, he has been recruited to be a warrior and although he’s very pumped up about the new position as he had always wanted to be a warrior even back at the pack but for some reason, he never passed the test. The issue he has now
Leo’s POVI sat in the midst of muddled up clothes on the ground, the walls of the room barely hanging off its holder. The room was a total mess. I had no idea how I got back home from the Lycan kingdom two days ago.All I knew was that I fought off the soldiers alongside mine but we got thrown out at the end.It wasn’t just embarrassment in front of the entire gathering of hundreds of Alphas and people that happened, the aftermath of such events would never leave the entire werewolf kingdom for years until another similar event happens.The shame would rub off on my pack badly.“You started the embarrassment by making the werewolf council do whatever they did in front of everyone. You don’t expect her to just keep shut after that.” My wolf said, finally talking to me for the first time since that night.I didn’t respond to him because somehow, I knew he was right and there’s no way I could counter his point.I had foolishly done all that I did because I thought Selene was just as the
Lucian’s POVRestlessness had never felt so daunting. Since we left the court, I had shifted and ran into the woods up to ten times. Kairos had been so snappy and I knew that the reason for his snappiness wasn’t because of the way Elysia clung to us like a second skin but rather another reason that
Selene’s POVA moan slipped through my mouth, as his fingers dived deep into me, causing my entire body to shudder in pleasure. I couldn’t breathe, nor could I think of anything reasonable.“Luc—” I tried to say but he blocked the word with his mouth on mine.His hand snuck around my waist, drawing
Lucian’s POVThe trial was baseless and I knew it right from the onset. It wasn’t even needed and the only reason I agreed to come to it alongside Selene and Liam was because I wanted to see what they really intended to do with it.And they didn’t disappoint me. Not even one bit.A constrained grow
Selene’s POVI had started to think that maybe I was being too hard on myself and the King.After leaving the king’s presence yesterday, I realized that maybe—just maybe he’s under pressure too. The council is against my mere existence on earth, and even worse, in this kingdom.Since I left his pre
