The Billionaire Serpent King's Bride Chapter 33
SELENE'S POVI woke to the sensation of being watched, a prickling heat on the back of my neck that had my muscles locking up before my eyes even opened. When I finally forced them open, Lucien was there, hovering over me with an intensity that felt less like concern and more like scrutiny. His golden eyes were the first thing I saw, unblinking and unnervingly bright in the dim light of the bedroom, and for a split second, a jolt of pure, instinctive terror shot through me so violently I nearly scrambled out of the bed.I froze, my breath catching in my throat as I stared up at him, waiting for the monster I remembered to reveal itself. My mind was a chaotic jumble of fragmented images: the crushing weight of coils, the taste of dirt and fear, the sound of a hiss that vibrated in my bones, and those same golden eyes staring down at me with predatory intent.I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog, searching his face for scales, for a slit pupil, for any sign of the creature that ha
The Billionaire Serpent King's Bride Chapter 32
LUCIEN'S POVI woke with a strange pressure moving beneath my skin, a deep, unsettling vibration that felt less like a illness and more like something trying to claw its way out from the inside. For several seconds, I remained perfectly still, staring into the darkness of the bedroom while my mind raced to calculate how much time I had left before the human facade cracked. Selene was sleeping beside me, her breathing slow and even, one hand resting near my chest in a gesture of trust that made the guilt in my gut twist like a knife.Then the pressure came again, stronger this time, a physical force pushing against my ribs and demanding release with a urgency that made my jaw tighten until my teeth ached.The full moon.I had known this night would be difficult. I had felt it building since sunset, a creeping dread that settled in my bones and warned me that my control was slipping, but I had hoped I could keep it under control long enough for Selene to sleep through the night without
The Billionaire Serpent King's Bride Chapter 31
CHAPTER 31 SELENE'S POV "Lucien?" The name barely made it past my lips. The serpent didn't move. Those enormous golden eyes remained fixed on me, unblinking and impossibly familiar. I looked down at my hand, at the crushed flowers dripping sap across my palm, and realized I had snapped their stems without feeling it. I squeezed my eyes shut. When I opened them, the serpent was still there. "This is a dream," I whispered. The words sounded hollow even to me. I was standing in the garden. I could smell the damp earth, the night-blooming jasmine, the metallic tang of my own blood where a thorn had caught my wrist. Dreams didn't carry scent. Dreams didn't leave scratches. But I knew this creature. Not this exact serpent, perhaps—not consciously. But for years, I had dreamed of a massive serpent with dark scales and golden eyes that watched me from shadows, coiled and waiting. Those dreams had stopped the moment I began sharing a bed with Lucien. I looked at the serpent's body,
The Billionaire Serpent King's Bride Chapter 30
SELENE'S POVThe howling didn't just wake me; it tore me out of sleep like a hook in my throat. It wasn't a dream. Dreams didn't carry that kind of visceral, bone-deeping terror.The sound drifted through the darkness, a mournful, rising and falling wail that echoed somewhere beyond the estate's high stone walls. It sounded human, agonizingly so, but beneath the cry lay something primal, something wild that made the hair on my arms stand up and my skin crawl as if infested with insects. I opened my eyes, my heart already hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird.For a few seconds, I lay paralyzed, staring into the darkness. The bedroom was suffocating, washed only in pale, sickly moonlight that sliced through the gaps in the curtains. The fabric moved gently with a breeze I couldn't feel, but beside me, the sheets were cold.Empty. Panic, sharp and immediate, spiked in my chest. "Lucien?"My voice was a trembling whisper, instantly swallowed by the heavy silence of the room. Anot
The Billionaire Serpent King's Bride Chapter 29
Selene's POV By the time I finished preparing dinner, the kitchen smelled so good that even I was tempted to sneak a taste before Lucien came home. I glanced at the clock again. He should be home soon. I smiled to myself and returned to the stove, stirring the sauce while imagining the look on his face when he discovered I had cooked everything myself. Lucien was always taking care of everyone around him, making decisions, solving problems, carrying responsibilities that seemed to belong to an entire army of people. Tonight, I wanted him to come home and simply be taken care of. The thought warmed something inside me. I was still smiling when Margaret entered the kitchen. She stopped near the doorway and looked through the large windows overlooking the garden. Her expression changed almost immediately. "Mrs. Drakon?" I turned. "Yes?" She hesitated, her eyes darting back to the window before she looked at me. There was a strange tension in her posture, a rigidity that hadn't be
The Billionaire Serpent King's Bride Chapter 28
SELENE'S POVI had stared at the same paragraph for ten minutes. The words blurred into meaningless ink. My mind wasn't here. It was upstairs, in the sunlight of our bedroom, locked on Lucien. I closed the book with a snap, the sound echoing in the quiet room. My heart gave a painful, rhythmic beat.God. A smile tugged at my lips, uncontrollable and bright. I covered my face with both hands, trying to smother it, but the heat in my cheeks betrayed me. Selene, stop. But I couldn't. The memory was too vivid.I remembered the weight of him, the terrifying strength he usually kept so tightly leashed, now used only to hold me closer. I remembered the way his kisses had started, slow, deliberate, giving me every chance to pull away. And when I didn't, when I leaned in, the way he had groled, a sound that vibrated through my chest and settled deep in my belly. It hadn't just been sex. It had been a claiming, yes, but not of ownership. It was a surrender. His surrender.He hadn't pulled away
