“You really dare to ask me about Selene?” questioned Maurice without hesitation.

The defensive way he reacted was not unexpected.

“Yes, I do—”

“I don't care what happened; there's no turning back now, and if you want to renegotiate, the best thing you can do is not to ask about Selene,” Maurice said painfully. “She has nothing to do with this.”

His harsh words hid a big undertone, one that I was about to discover.

I saw a glimmer of opportunity in his eyes, so my hopes immediately rose.

“Okay,” Nick said. “It's clear how things are going to be.”

I looked at my Beta with a frown.

“Did they bring the latest financials?” asked Maurice carefully. “The real ones, the ones that don't have any makeup on them.”

I gritted my teeth and pulled out the folders with the information.

Maurice lasted minutes at a time reading page by page with extreme care.

I wasn't just showing him the overall finances of the pack; I was showing him the finances of the council, the councilors, and myself. If I

  • My mate's betrayal   Chapter 102

    IzanOf all the things I could imagine in life, watching Axel crawl on the floor was not one of them. It was somewhat shocking to realize that he understood perfectly what he had lost with Selene.Axel was not my favorite person in the world; a part of me wanted to beat him senseless for daring to hurt my mate, but another part also understood that he had been the victim of something else. And that, as much as it bothered me, I could totally understand.“Are you going to make sure Axel isn't a problem and doesn't do something to get Selene out of your pack?” asked Nick, Axel's Beta, briskly.I looked at the dark man with a frown.“You think what I warned you about inside my house was just a bluff?” I asked him in a lethal voice. "If anything ever upsets Selene in the slightest, rest assured I'm not going to give a damn about the rest of the world. Rest assured I'm going to take down whoever upset her, even if it's not on the fringes of the law."Nick stopped and looked at me seriously

    SeleneThrowing up was just a consequence of the adrenaline.I had never taken it upon myself to imagine what would happen when I had Axel in front of me, but of all the most likely things, him kneeling before me was not among them. The reality was far more devastating than I could feel.Izan rushed into the bathroom and grabbed my hair, then gave me a light back rub, and when I finally emptied my bowels into the toilet, I looked up at him in fear.“What's going to happen now?” I asked in dread.Izan said nothing, hugged me tightly, and carried me to the bed.It was so sweet; I didn't want him to leave. I just wanted him to stay with me always. If anything really calmed me down in that moment of madness, it was being with him. The situation was already extraordinarily complicated; I couldn't even understand how I had had the fortitude to avoid disaster.“I feel like this is all my fault. I—”“You shouldn't have done anything,” Izan said. "Actually, you controlled the problem in a much

    AxelAn unknown heat ran through my body, but I could not move.Mal roared so loudly inside my head that I had to compartmentalize myself to keep from falling prey to the pain. It took every ounce of strength I had stored inside my system.But it was hearing Selene's laughter that really placed me in time and space. It was an abrupt jolt from my reality to realize that I wasn't dreaming, that what my eyes were seeing wasn't some damn nightmare feeding my fears. Especially since I realized something that tore at my soul.The woman I loved was seeing another man with love.I clenched my hands, but it was Nick who put me out of my misery.“Is that woman Selene?” My friend asked incredulously, and I couldn't answer.Selene and Izan walked away and out of my sight, as if they were a fucking mirage.I don't know how long it took from the time Nick asked the question until tears began to well up in my eyes, but the sensation of the salt water running down my cheeks finally brought me fully a

    Axel“Let go of me!” shouted Lena briskly as we led her to her father.Part of me wanted to push her away and interrogate her, but by law I knew I could not do such a thing without Duncan's consent. If Lena had done that on my land, I would not only have imprisoned her, but I would also have punished her as the law dictated.“Shut up,” Nick ordered Lena.Lena began to twitch and scream, but people were not coming forward to help her.At that moment I realized that her reputation must precede her, because I didn't understand why people didn't reach in for the Alpha's daughter. When I arrived at the gates of Duncan's pack, the guards immediately approached.“What happened?” asked a tall, stocky, middle-aged man I knew very well.He was Don, Duncan's brother and Beta.“I need to speak to Alpha Duncan,” I said sternly. "It's a delicate matter involving his daughter. It's time-sensitive to talk about it."Don walked over to his niece and growled.“What the fuck did you do this time, Lena?”

    SeleneI spent days with swollen feet.Walking was a torture that I couldn't even control; I had to stay in bed as long as possible, so when Amelie came to the herd and told me everything, I felt worse. But that morning, she saw me with a frown. She took some ointment, cast a little spell on it, and gave it to my aunt to give me a massage.Ten minutes later, my legs were fine; I had no swelling and felt much better.“I thought you weren't coming to my room,” I said honestly.Everyone had given me space, and Amelie had told them what was going on detail by detail in the South. My aunt and I were the ones who didn't know the details. And Bella, who had devoted herself to taking care of me.However, I felt stronger to deal with the whole truth.“Zanders explained the situation to me,” Amelie said. "A sorceress who knows about necromancy is coming tomorrow, so we will check the bodies of those who have fallen from the silk sickness. We need to make sure that was a vampire creation before
