ログインSELENA'S P.O.V Alpha Cole balanced the last plate on one hand and held my hand in the other, leading me towards the dining room.It was still dark, and he slowly let go of my hand, the walked forward. I could see his silhouette moving in the dark, but his wolf was at least five times stronger than the second strongest in the pack, so seeing in complete darkness was not exactly new to him."Close your eyes," he said suddenly.I chuckled, then closed my eyes. He would be able to see me if I didn't do it anyway."Don't open them till I tell you to."I nodded.There was silence for a few seconds before his voice came again."Now."I opened my eyes. For the first second, the dining room was still dark. All of a sudden, however, the candles came alive. My eyes widened as each candle came on, till the entire dining room was filled with the orange glow of the lights.On the table was a massive bouquet of lilies, next to a smaller red box. He had also adjusted the table so we were sitting tog
SELENA'S P.O.V The drive back home was silent. Evan kept his eyes fixed on the road, and I leaned back on my seat, everything floating in front of my eyes. I hated it. The feeling of helplessness. The fucking ultimatum. It made me want to jump out of the car and rip that bastard Alan into shreds with my bare claws.The gates of the alpha palace opened, and we drove in, then came to a slow stop in front of the fountain."Thank you," I said, then slowly turned towards the door."Can you at least keep a steong facade for Cole?"I turned to Evan. "What do you mean?"He met my eyes. "Isaac got to the council before he did, and with the aid of other council members, they testified that Alpha Cole is violent and unpredictable. Luckily, Alpha Cole does have a lot of power that he won't necessarily be kicked out of the council, but decisions are currently on hold."I cupped my mouth, a gasp escaping. "How... How is he?"Evan looked down at the steering wheel. "He is dressed up. Says you have
SELENA'S P.O.V My knees turned to liquid, and I grabbed onto the nearest thing, my chest heaving hard. I looked up to the paintings. On one hand, I was relieved that I did well enough to make sure she didn't see Alan as a father figure. On the other hand... on the other hand, I didn't even know how to start. How to introduce her to him, how to admit just how long I have lied to him, and how much of her life I took away from him."C," I said, turning to Sarah. "Did you tell her his name?""I had to," she said immediately. "I had no choice. She cried hard, thrashed around, and kept begging. I tried my hardest to mind link you but my wolf was far too weak and you were too far. I am sorry."I slowly sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers clenched into fists. Tears filled my eyes as I watched the paintings, and my mind flooded with Alpha Cole's eyes from earlier today. The way he had looked when he remembered that I always wanted my daughter's name to be Amanda.I can't say it is complete
SELENA'S P.O.V I stepped out of the car, then turned, my eyes meeting Evan's over the glass.He hadn't said anything else, but his words still rang in my head. What did I forget? For some reason, all that I could think of was the somewhat sad expression that crossed Cole's face earlier this morning when I talked about having no regrets. Is there something I am supposed to regret?The glass slowly came down, and Evan poked his head. "Mind link me when you are done. I will drive you home."I nodded absently, then turned away and walked into the gates. The apartment was large, with the yard filled with flowers and even a small fountain. I walked towards the door, then knocked, my chest heaving lightly.There was a short silence before the door swung open, and I came face to face with Sarah. She looked almost rejuvenated, her eyes bright, her smile big."Selena!"She immediately wrapped her hands around me, her chin resting on my shoulder."Thank you," I said, closing my hand around her
ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I walked down the stairs, my fingers wrapped around my phone, and the alpha seal I had to carry for the council meeting. The encounter in Evan's mind still rang in my head. Maybe it was because I was stunned by the sheer audacity that Isaac had to have to believe this would somehow work out, or the slight, genuine fear deep down that I could be fucked if Evan hadn't been so loyal. So... protective."Cole."I stopped, then turned. Sylvia was standing behind me, a small, sheepish smile on her face.I might have been the world's worst husband if I had married this woman because I honestly forgot about her existence.I sucked in a deep breath and pushed my hands into my pockets. "You got out of psychotic hold."She laughed. "I was never mad. There is no one here. You can admit you did it on purpose to get me out of the way so you can fuck that little slut."I watched her, then gave a small shrug. "How did the place treat you? You don't seem any better. Should I ask for
SELENA'S P.O.V The air felt a little different once I stepped out of the palace. Not exactly in a good way, but not in a bad way either. Of course, I missed Alpha Cole's scent and his essence, but the palace intrigues made it almost choking to live there.I started to walk forward when the gates opened, and one of Alpha Cole's fleet drove out, coming to a slow step close to me.I stopped, my eyes squinting. Alpha Cole? I thought he was going somewhere else. Besides, I left him in bed. He wouldn't have been able to get ready in so short a time.The car door windows immediately rolled down, and Evan slowly poked his head out. "You are not doing a good job at hiding your disappointment."I rolled my eyes, then gave a small laugh. "Where are you going?""Your boyfriend sent me to pick you up," he said, then got out of the car. He towered above me for a few seconds before he walked around and opened the front door for me."Boyfriend?"He chuckled, and I have to say, it looked good on hi
SELENA'S P.O.V"Something is definitely happening in the meeting," an omega whispered furiously as she passed the dignitary quarters.I immediately sat up, my brows furrowed. I had barely been able to sleep ever since leaving Alpha Cole's room and then the discussion with that man, Evan, and the fa
ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V Selena. Selena is in my palace.My eyes thinned as I looked between the women in the dungeon and the soldier still lying unconscious outside. He had been carefully tucked away, and he had a single hit to the side of his neck. Like the edge of a dagger.That was Selena's signatur
SELENA'S P.O.V The dance troupe proceeded to the palace, and I joined, quickly learning their chants as we made the short journey to the palace.Soon enough, the palace loomed in front of us. I stopped for a second to catch my breath, my chest heaving. I still knew the palace like the back of my h
SELENA'S P.O.V I cleaned out the guns and daggers, laying them out on the floor in the room. I stepped back, my eyes taking in the weapons. Most of them were my hunting gear, as I have had no use for weapons in five years.The sun was already coming up, and tomorrow would be the full moon festival
