Damian It's been three days since I locked Selene up in the dungeon without food or water. Adrain and Emery had been on my neck to release her but I didn't budge.What I can't even place is if I was angry about what she did to Olivia or if the punishment was because she was flirting with Lucien that morning.The door of my office pushed open and an angry-looking Lucien walked in “This is the height of it, how can you lock someone up for so long?” He asked with disbelief on his face.“Do you have a thing for Selene?” I asked, looking pissed, he has been in this office more than I can remember since I locked her up.“That doesn't answer the question, you seriously locked her up because of Olivia. That girl is turning you into a beast” He spat furiously, heightening my anger.“Just leave before you join her,” I said in a gruff tone.“How about you make me join her? At least she would have some company.” He challenged me while I pinched my nose trying to control my anger.“Damian, three
SeleneThree days of darkness, hunger, and thirst in the dungeon have reshaped my priorities. My sole focus now is to complete my job, uncover the truth about my identity, exact revenge on those who've wronged me, and perhaps, just perhaps, find a glimmer of happiness in a life that's been forever scarred. But hope is a luxury I can hardly afford.The avoidance game was over. He'd finally called my bluff, requesting my presence in his chamber at 8 P.M sharp. The clock was ticking, and I couldn't help but wonder what lay in store for me tonight. It was time to face the music.I stared at myself in the mirror, the blue lacy gown matched my skin perfectly revealing my curves and my beauty. I packed my hair in a messy bun and proceeded out of the room.Exhaling, I placed a tiny knock on the door and I heard him asking me to come in.I entered and I noticed he stood still, his heart breathing rapidly, I took a step and another until I was close to him, my eyes blazing with intensity “You
SeleneI stood still when I heard his rough voice closely behind me “T..to my room” I stuttered facing him.He tilted his head to the side, “You need to take a shower” He uttered scrutinizing me.“Yes, I will do that in my room” I turned towards the door clicking the door knob.“Is there something chasing you from this room?” I turned to face him in surprise as he cocked his brows in confusion.“A commoner shouldn't sleep in the Alpha’s chamber” I reminded him while he blinked his eyes.“Use my bathroom,” He said, heading to the bed.“I’m sorry what?” I asked but he ignored me.I stood there for a few minutes before heading to his bathroom. I wrapped the bathrobe on my body after I was done scenting like him.“Change into this,” He offered me one of his tops and walked out immediately.I wore the top which was a plus size on me and headed to the room “I will go to my room now” I scratched my neck as he lay on the freshly changed sheets.“I am not done with you” He uttered in a gruff t
SeleneTwo weeks have passed since my fateful encounter with Lucien, and a fragile sense of tense calmness has settled over the pack.The Alpha's attention has been absorbed by pack affairs, allowing me to steer clear of Olivia's watchful gaze. Yet, I can't shake the feeling that something is amiss with the Alpha's behavior. But my concerns are overshadowed by the looming threat of the full moon, which will soon reveal whether I carry the Alpha's heir. The weight of this uncertainty hangs heavy, as today's moon's reckoning will determine my fate. Will I be reduced to a mere slave, or elevated to a position of power within the pack?The outcome is far from certain, and the pack's eyes will be upon me, waiting to see which path I'll take.“Are you scared?” Emery popped out from nowhere.“Ohh my goodness, you startled me” I held my breath glaring at her.“I didn't mean to, you have been staring into the space for over how many minutes” Worry was laced in her words as she patted my shou
SeleneI stood in front of the broken mirror, glancing at myself."Broken," I muttered; my life was as broken as the shattered mirror.My awakening ceremony was today, but I was not particularly excited about it, after all who would want a nobody like me for a mate? Yes, I have lived alone ever since and do not have any parents.I scoffed as I looked at my reflection again and then slumped onto the floor at the end of the cottage. I lost a lot of weight and looked really disheveled, but whenever I pass young girls my age, I can not help but notice the look of envy in their eyes. To be honest, I am not sure if I am attractive or ugly, but that is not my biggest issue.While I was lost in my thoughts, the cottage door creaked open, making that annoying sound every damn time. The sunlight burned my eyes as I shielded it with my hands, blinking to see who had just entered."Selene," Imogen chirped as she closed the door.Ever since I joined this pack, Imogen has been my closest friend. Y
SeleneAgonizing in pain from his words, I completely forgot about the burning sensation I had felt from the fall.I felt someone lift me up, and I looked up to see Imogen's face. As she helped me to my feet, she bowed slightly to the Alpha, apologizing for my misconception, while I stared at her with a scowl etched on my face.“Let’s go” She whispered, pulling me away, my wolf whimpering from being separated from our mate. As we walked away, I felt his piercing stare slashing my back and a wet sensation on my cheeks; I realized I was crying, but I quickly wiped them away to avoid appearing weak.*******“What were you thinking?” Imogen half yelled as I settled into the shabby cloak spread out at the edge of the cottage; unfortunately, that was the only bed I owned."He is my mate, I sensed it," I insisted, rubbing my buttocks. I had finally begun to feel the aftermath from the fall."This does not look good; did you notice the look of contempt he gave you?" Imogen said, exasperated.
SeleneTwo years later“Who works on the day of their birthday?” "Yes, that is me at the moment. Funny, huh?" Today was my twentieth birthday, and here I am scrubbing the floor of this massive mansion."Oh, you thought my mate would accept me later on?""Haew, that is not the case," I mumbled, wiping away my sweat for the hundredth time."Be quick, lazy slave." The head of the maids yelled loudly."She is always that way," I continued to work.I had finally finished all of my morning work when I ran into Imogen. "Hey," I said."Come with me, I have something for you." She said, pulling me towards the garden."Happy 20th birthday!" she said, and I could not help but notice the adorable little cake she was holding."Thank you," I said with a teary smile."Go ahead, make a wish." She beamed, and I closed my eyes, unsure of what to say but hoping for my freedom.As dusk was falling, I completed my afternoon tasks and went to my room. Something in me hoped that my mate would wish me a ha
Selene"Are you okay?" Emery questioned, gripping the chair I was sitting on tightly."Yes, he is really frightening," I stifled a giggle.She added, "He may come across as intimidating, but on the inside, he is cool.""I doubt it," I said to myself."The doctor is on her way; let us get you to your room." She offered to help me get back on my feet.I was led into a room that appeared to be larger than my previous one, with a large bed and everything properly arranged and decorated."Okay, this does not look like a place a slave would stay," I muttered."Slave? Who said you were one?" She chuckled, looking surprised."Well, I was bought, so what should I expect?" I settled onto the couch with a shrug."You are anything but a slave!""Why should I see a doctor?" I probed.She responded, "Well, the Alpha has the answer to that," and I had the impression they were concealing something.After a while, an elderly lady was led into my room. "Good day," she said as I mumbled greetings and no
