Selena's POV
I stopped walking, my breath coming out in short, uneven bursts. What if my warning didn’t reach him in time? I told myself that I would use my father’s old contacts and that I would find a way to get word to him. But what if it wasn’t enough?
What if Greg’s plan worked?
What if, right now, Rain was walking straight into a trap, oblivious to the sword hanging over his head?
My body started to shake uncontrollably. A strangled sound caught in my throat, and I pressed a trembling hand over my mouth. I’d known that leaving would hurt, but I hadn’t expected this! This unbearable agony clawed at my insides, screaming at me to turn around.
I took another step forward – then another! Each one felt like a fresh wound tearing open in my chest. Just like that, something inside me snapped, and I knew I’d made the biggest mistake of my life.
I couldn’t do it
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
Rain’s POVMy mate was a fucking vixen!I knew I should have resisted her. She’d given birth less than a week ago, and already she wanted to be on her knees before me. It was too soon and she wasn’t ready…But damn!The sight of her at my feet, her eyes glassy with need and her hot breath fanning my cock--- well, there was only so much self-control even a rogue king possessed…So I let her suck me off…I loved and hated it! Feeling guilty that I was the only one getting pleasure, when I, more than anything, wanted her to feel beautiful, wanted, and desired. So I poured all the pleasure she was giving me down the mate-bond--- and fucking magic happened!Her pleasure amplified my own, until it blinded me. My body shook with raw ecstasy. And when her need overtook her, she needed me to take control…And fuck me, but that just abo
WARNING: Sexual contentSelena’s POVI was free!Sure, I’d found myself accepting that being the daughter of the most hated man in the werewolf kingdom was just my cross to bear. But now – after finding my mother’s letter and knowing the truth – I was free!I only needed a moment alone with the letter to let everything sink in before I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. I didn’t understand why my mother would keep this from me. To let me think that my father hated me for no other reason than being human.Well, he wasn’t my father…And whatever her reasons, I found that I didn’t care! As a child, I’d felt a certain loyalty towards her, a blind belief that she’d always protect me. Now, that illusion had shattered. If it were guilt for cheating, isolation, or a desperate attempt to justify her own actions, I would never
