ログインSelene’s POVHe didn’t push her away, nor did he say anything even though I had seen him move as though he wanted to stand up. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, hugging him as though her life depended on it.My wolf whined in my head—just the way a child would do when not given their favorite toy.But I hadn’t felt so stupid as I was when I stood there and watched them. What even prompted me to come to him and say that I wanted to help him? I had no idea where such audacity came from, or even why I still followed him so closely when he wanted to get the first aid kit.“Let go.” He finally said, and his voice brought me back to reality.I dropped the cotton wool and sanitizer in my hand and stepped back, finally creating a distance between myself and the thick cologne of Elysia.I cleared my throat, “I think I’d take my leave now.” Then my eyes moved over to Elysia who had just gotten off him, “Since your betrothed is here, she could help you out with the injury.”The peering ga
Leo’s POVEverything seemed to be falling into place faster than I thought. And as each day passed, each one of my goal that I had set fell into place.I didn’t expect everything to be so fucking smooth but it seemed even fate wanted me to get Selene home faster than I had planned to.The ransoms were coming in steadily and we haven’t had to end the life of anyone as a threat to their families so they’d pay faster. The acquired lands were getting plentiful by the day and that was more than enough money for me to climb up in the social ladder amongst alphas.They all didn’t know that I was behind the disappearance of their pack members and the large amount of their lands being seized too.To everyone, I was just the miserable Alpha who was in search of his mate and couldn’t function well without her.That was just the perfect cover-up, though.I was done being the docile one whom everyone overlooked. And I’d get the power that I needed anyway I deemed fit.“Alpha, are you sure we have
Lucian’s POVIf there’s anything I hate most in this world at the moment, it’s the faux calmness that came with what happened with Selene.The kiss should never have happened, and that little voice in my head that wasn’t even Kairos should also not be telling me that it was all normal.No. It wasn’t.And as she bumped into me again earlier, the flashback of last night ran through my head. The pulsing of her heart, how almost weightless she felt underneath me, and how soft her lips were. They all rushed in like a tidal wave.I barely heard or saw her when she asked that I walk in instead. Hot anger still pummeled through me even as I stood before Lily. I didn’t sleep a wink all through the night and I blamed my crankiness on that and not the female who just clumsily rushed out of the office.“Your Majesty, I didn’t know you were visiting here today,” Lily said, standing up.“I need that medication again.” I watched as her eyelids rose, “A new dose.” I added.“What medication?”“The one
Selene’s POVFor a moment, everything around me disappeared—including my heart and brain.One minute, I was thinking about what Liam told me in the morning about Leo coming over to the lycan kingdom for the banquet, and the next I was tumbling down a very little stairs. And somehow, the next minute, I was on the ground with the king atop me and our lips were touching.Like, I was kissing the king!Our lips actually touched. I stayed there underneath him, my entire body so weak like it was under an influence.That warm feeling from that day found its way to my chest, tickling to every part of my body. My heart stayed solid in its place, it wasn’t even beating faster anymore—just there and breathing so normal as though I was only sitting on a recliner and sipping coffee.Somehow, my lips moved against his and I found myself closing my eyes.It was all very surreal. I could have sworn that I transcended beyond earth right there.Then, as though a bucket of cold water was dumped on me, I
Lucian’s POV“Man, you really did it,” Darius said, plopping onto the seat beside me.“Did what?” I asked, frowning a bit.“Get the surgery done for her. You did it despite the opposition and all. I’ve always known you to be a go-getter but this feels a bit…” Hw trailed off and I raised my brow at him, “It’s a bit strange because you claim not to have something for the person in question.”“She’s my guest and nothing more.” I declared, looking back at what I was doing.I saw him inch forward from my peripheral vision, “You should know by now that I have nothing against anything that you do. And I also trust you to make the best choices for yourself.” I looked up just at the same time he shrugged, “Now tell me, is there something that I don’t know?”“I just assigned some jobs to you, Darius. Get to work immediately.”His face went serious, “You’re part of my duty as I’m your second in command. And this involves me making sure you’re not doing anything that can jeopardize your position
Selena’s POVI walked around the kingdom, looking around like someone who was reading something I already memorized by touch and I’m now finally seeing in print. My hand being empty due to the absence of my cane was just so weird.I got a few stares here and there as I navigated the corridors that I had walked through in darkness. The corridors were wider than I had thought it was but the appearance was just the same. Turns out that I have a very good sense of imagination.And even though Liam tried to stop me from going out so soon, I just couldn’t hold in the eagerness that came with getting my eyesight back. I wanted to match faces to voices, see the world of the Lycan kingdom for the first time already.As I got to the entrance of the mansion, I saw someone who made me pause. The sense of familiarity filled me and I paused. He had deep set eyes with the expression of someone who was disgusted with his surroundings.And when he talked, it all made sense to me. It was the head counc
Lucian’s POVI reclined on my chair, glancing through the documents before me once again. I had spent the whole of yesterday preparing it, and it was now ready to be passed to the councils.The document contained a few new laws to be enacted in the pack. The laws were written in simple words but we
Selene’s POVI woke up before my senses. The bed beneath me was softer than the one I was starting to get used to before. And the moment the scent of the room I was in hit me, it dawned on me that I was in the infirmary.The smell of medicinal herbs that was mixed with disinfectants wafted into my
Lucian’s POVThe letters on the paper before me had started to blur out, and the harder I stared at it, the tighter my fists were.Arriving at Alpha Crest’s territory seems to be the worst thing I’ve ever done. And Kairos? He wasn’t making the situation any better. He just kept pacing around in my
Selene’s POVMy heart raced frantically in fear as I gripped the hem of my shirt tight. It was all a trap and we fell right into it. Liam’s hand found mine as we were grabbed by strong warriors who seized us as though they intended to break us right there.“I’m sorry, Liam. I’m so sorry.” I mumbled
