Selena’s POV
“Ready?” Rain asked, and I didn’t miss the slight excitement in his tone. I was finally moving out of the hospital wing and--- well, my future after that was questionable.
“Even if I move into the alpha suite, I won’t be having sex with you!” I stated firmly, crossing my arms over my chest. After two weeks in the hospital wing, I could finally breathe without feeling like my ribs were trying to stab my lungs.
Rain didn’t even blink...
“Yet,” Rain corrected, and the smirk on his face was downright infuriating. “You won’t be having sex with me yet!”
“Stubborn ass, mule!” I groaned as I cursed under my breath. I slammed the last of my toiletries into the small bag of belongings Rain had gathe
Selena’s POV“Is that all you have to say to your older brother?” Ryan asked, his tone strangely and eerily playful. Hell, it was downright unnerving seeing someone wearing Rain’s face and making--- actual human facial expressions…Weird!And one glance over at Elijah and I could see that he was thinking the same thing – although we both hid it well. Maybe it had something to do with me being his queen and Alpha’s mate, but we seemed to be on the same wavelength somehow...“Nobody knows who the oldest is, so don’t try and stir shit up with that bullshit,” Rain replied, his tone completely void of all emotions.Just the way we liked it…“So what the hell are you doing here?” He asked, sounding board. He completely ignored the werewolves, who looked like they’d seen a ghost. Or might think there was a glitch in the matrix so
Selena’s POVAzul happily took the pacifier when I gave it to him. With his belly full and plenty of playtime with Uncle Joey, he was a very happy baby. But all things considered, he was very active and awake today, which was a little unusual for his normal self.As if even he could sense the excitement in the air...Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was more nervous about. The announcement. Or that our son would be fuzzy during the whole thing…With Rain’s hand on my back and our bodyguards and Betas behind us, we walked into the throne room. It was weird to walk in with the king for the first time. Even when my father was king, he’d never let me walk in with him. My stomach turned, and I had to force my hands not to squeeze my son. But I was nothing if not extremely stilled in keeping my emotions under control.Forcing my hands to still, I squared my shoulders and blanked my expression, ignoring the st
Selena’s POVA traitor in the pack…It was almost an unconscionable notion. But after what my father had done, the werewolf kingdom had crumbled into a mere fraction of what it used to be. Honor and truth were exchanged for greed and a hunger for power. To be the most ruthless and unforgiving, exploiting the weak, those who couldn’t stand up for themselves...“That is the most likely scenario,” Rain confessed, folding his arms over his chest. “But I killed all of Throme’s supporters. The only ones I spared were some omegas and servants.”“Could he have forced them to be his spies?” Stella asked, clearly worried.“No wolf in their right mind trusts an omega like that,” Rain answered in his usual quick way. And of course, murdered any hope that Elijah had of ever winning Stella over.“What my lovely mate is trying to say,” I quickly a
Selena’s POVI let my hands glide over the beautiful gold dress one more time. Rain had gone all out on this one. And while the Rogue King hadn’t spent a day in his life inside a shopping center, he did give Stella and me free rein online to buy whatever I needed.And yes, I did splurge a bit…The dress shimmered like molten sunlight every time I moved, each golden thread catching the light as though it had been spun from fire itself. The satin clung softly to my body, moving in beautiful waves. Not in an indecent or flashing way, but in a way that made me feel beautiful, regal, and powerful.The neckline elegantly dipped just enough to hint at a cleavage without revealing anything. The fabric flowed into a long, graceful skirt that whispered across the floor like liquid gold. A delicate belt in pale ivory pearls was wrapped around my waist, breaking the endless glow with softness.I chose emerald earrin
Victor’s POVThe phone rang, lighting up a familiar number I couldn’t forget even if I wanted to. Annoyed, I sure as fuck hoped he wasn’t calling to ask for another favor. I didn’t give them out for free to just anyone, but this guy? Well, he was a rare exceptionStill, I didn’t hesitate to press the green button…“Rain,” I said bluntly, signaling for my beta to leave the office. Not that he needed one. The second anyone heard that name, they knew not to ask questions and never to pry.Not if they valued their life anyway...“Victor,” the Alpha King replied, his tone a little more lively than it used to be. Guess that’s what happens to a man when you have a mate blowing life back into your stone-cold heart. And while I’d always believed that it would never happen to a stone-cold killer like the Rain Blood, I was now proven wrong.So maybe it could h
Selena’s POVSean found his mate?!And this was a problem?WHY?!Rain kept a firm grasp on my hand as he led me through the halls and into the dungeon – of all places! I was beginning to think that Joey’s “it’s bad” was just his way of saying “everything is fucked and we should run for the hills”…When we entered the main floor, there was chaos. Sean was being held back by four enforcers, his face bloody and bruised as he snarled and cursed everyone in the room. Joey was getting in someone’s face, physically blocking him from hitting his friend. And at the center of it all was a dirty, hog-tied girl, blindfolded and gagged like some kind of---Animal!“Oh my goddess!” I exclaimed and ran to her, pushing the wolves aside, and helped the poor thing up to sit. “Are you OK? Who did this to you?”“LU
