Selena’s POV
“Because you’ll be devastated to see Elijah again, right?” I teased and laughed when I saw the witch blush. Well, let’s just say that Rain and I hadn’t been the only ones “catching up”. Hell, the second we swapped clothes, we had a moment where we both caught a very distinct smell. Well, we exchanged glances and laughed until we almost broke, and then we decided never to mention it again!
Still, I couldn’t help wondering...
“How are things between you two?” I asked, worried about my best friend. I’d noticed that Elijah hadn’t claimed her, which was unusual for a wolf. But then again, she was human, so it might take more time for her to accept him – especially with her past!
Besides, in the human world, being claimed was the equivalent of marrying the guy after the first date. It was probably really scary for her...
But
Selena's POVNo. Way!There had to be some mix-up or--- or something! Because my one sin – the one thing that had hung like a sword over my neck my entire life – was the fact that I was Alistar Throme’s daughter!And if that wasn’t true then---“What?” I exclaimed, but my voice was meek and barely above a whisper. I tried to find something else to say but--- I just didn’t have words. I struggled to make sense of it all but---There was none…My mother couldn’t have lied to me about something like this. She couldn’t have just sat there, watching her mate reject me over and over again, and still let me believe that I was his daughter. Let me believe that the man who had gone out of his way to make me feel little, unloved, and broken was---My mother wouldn’t do that to me!Joey reached out for the document that Stella he
Selena’s POVBeing mated was amazing!All my fears and doubts about mating Rain were just washed away, since I could always feel what he felt. And by the goddess, his overwhelming love and dedication for me and our son put all my previous hesitation to shame.“Would you stop it!” Stella playfully teased, throwing a washcloth in my general direction. I laughed, feeling free now that I could finally bend down without doing some weird-ass squat around a belly I could barely see around.After all the fighting, the house was slowly returning to its former glory with the wolves working around the clock to get everything ready for the human workers who would return at the end of the week. And because I wanted to be just a little bit useful, I’d offered to help.I got downvoted!And here I was thinking I was the Luna…Shaking my head, I insisted that there had to be something I
Rain's POVGrowling, I turned to the idiot who spoke and realized it was Hank, another one of my rogue pack. Seeing my response, he almost backed down, but I was not in the mood for “never minds”!“Is your son our Crown Prince?” He asked hesitantly.What a fucking ridiculous question!“Yes!” I snapped, annoyed at the complete unnecessity of the question. “He’s my flesh and blood and your future King!”And even if he wasn’t, any child that came from my mate was mine by association.So fuck any shit that---!“What’s his name?”Not going to lie, the question caught me quite off guard. And after examining his expression, I noticed that there was only genuine curiosity there.Well, fuck me!Were even my men turning civilized?Guess miracles really do still happen...“Azul Marcus King,” I told him, my wolf calmer now that he knew that there was no threat to his s
Rain’s POVIt became a long day going over pack terminations, new treaties, and hostage negotiations – although those were few and far between. Obviously, Katie’s old pack couldn’t be dissolved since it had enormous financial importance in this kingdom.So, on a whim, I asked my allies who they deemed to be the most suited alpha to lead the pack. Because not only did he need to be strong enough to lead the pack, but they also had to have a strong sense of business.Begrudgingly, Cedric suggested his brother, Cedar Orez.He was an alpha wolf, strong for his age, but he left the pack at a young age. He’d then become a business tycoon in the human world, meaning that he could bring a lot of valuable knowledge and new opportunities to the pack.But---“If he’s so smart,” I asked, resting my cheek on my hand out of boredom, since I guessed that whatever came next would be a pile of
Rain’s POV“My King!”Elijah called out my name, but the second I entered the throne room, everything died down. Every wolf in the room spun to face me, some with relief, some with hate, and some with a mixed expression of “what the hell?!” and “fucking finally!”…Ignoring most of them, I walked straight up to my beta, who looked happy to see me. But hid it behind a mask of professionalism that never ceased to amaze me. Hell, this guy could be talking and teasing until I broke his nose, and then flip a switch to become the most stone-cold professional butler-like golem I’d ever seen…“Where is Alpha Victor?” I asked, hating that the bastard had been spouting on about Selena being my Second Chance Mate. But the bastard had helped me out of a tight spot, so the least I could do was to tell him I owed him one – basically how our relationship worked. I did him a f
Rain’s POVWaking up next to my mate was the most amazing feeling in the world! Sure, our son had woken us up a couple of times, and even now, he stirred once more while my mate slept soundly. Her dreams were peaceful, and I wished I could keep her in that happy, blissful state forever.But reality was knocking…Soon, my son would wake her up, and he would need his mother’s milk. Moreover, I couldn’t put off returning to the Royal Pack. The war was over, but now it was time for diplomacy. Not my strongest suit. But as King, it was my duty to make sure that this never happened again. Sure, I was more comfortable with blood on my hands, but now that my son was born, I had to change.He would rule a peaceful kingdom.I would make sure of it!I gently kissed my mate’s neck, my favorite method of waking her. Well, actually, my favorite method of waking her was by filling her pussy with my c
