Selena’s POVI took one last look around me to be sure no one saw me come in and when I didn't catch any sight of anyone watching from a corner or the silhouette of anybody in the dark, I sighed in relief because that was one step in getting Raymond out of the way down. All I had to do now was to find my way into the palace discreetly and get a silver knife while making sure no one would see me.Making sure my footsteps were silent, I dashed into the palace through the back passage and I made sure to watch for anyone’s presence in case I was to bump into anybody while making my way into the palace. The passage hadn't been used for years so there was a high possibility that I won't run into a single soul until I got to my destination but I didn't want to take any chances. I still made sure I was alert, careful, and watchful so I would knock anyone that saw me out immediately before he or she would throw a fuss or cause an alarm by calling for others… I couldn't risk letting my plan get
Selena’s POVI took a strong stand as I held the knife tight in my hand while waiting for the guard to leave so I would seize the opportunity and end Raymond. If he was searching for me at the execution ground and didn't find me, then he was going to figure out soon that I was up to something and before he would get a hang of the situation and probably guess that I was in the palace, I had to do something quickly. I had to swing into action before it would be too late for me so it was now or never.Still standing in silence behind the curtain, I watched and listened with rapt attention as Raymond kept on having a conversation with the guard.“Fine then, just keep on searching for her since you are sure she didn't go too far from the execution ground,” Raymond said to the guard and the guard bowed his head before Raymond at his order.“Yes sir I'll make sure to find her,” he said and with that, he dashed out of the room but closed the door behind him before leaving.Raymond was alone o
CHAPTER TWENTYSelena's POV“Let me go, you freaks!” I growled at them while I glared at Raymond and I still struggled to get myself out of their grip on my arms that they had pulled to my back but their hold was too tight and strong and I couldn't free myself.“Why should I do that? So you would try your lame attempt to kill me again?” Raymond fired back at me and I felt a blow to my ego as the beta of the pack. I felt insulted because it felt like all the training I had done for years didn't pay off if I couldn't just simply kill Raymond with one strike.I tried to release myself from the grip of his men again but they only held me back tighter and made me go on my knees while I still glared up at Raymond who was staring down at me with mockery in his eyes and all I wanted badly was to wipe that look off his face. I watched him as he bent on one knee in front of me then he smirked before he began to run his forefinger through the locks of my hair that fell on my face and he pushed
Selena's POVI heard the voices around me first once I began to wake, then I opened my eyes and when I looked around, I was still in Raymond's room. I took my time to sit up in the bed before I touched the back of my head and it wasn't hurting anymore so I felt relieved. Then I heard footsteps from behind me and when I turned around, it was Raymond.I inched away from him on the bed immediately he tried to get closer to me once he saw I was awake and when he noticed that I still wouldn't let him come close to me, he stopped with a defeated look and he took a seat on a chair opposite the bed. He looked at me and I looked back at him too with suspicion in my eyes because I couldn't tell what was going on in his head and what he planned to do to me now that I was awake and failed to kill him or myself.“Are you going to kill me now Raymond? Just like you killed alpha” I asked and he sighed before he shook his head and looked back at me.“I would never do that to you Selena. I'm actuall
Selena’s POVI was at a loss for words to say to Raymond after he asked me to marry him. I was still trying to figure out if he really meant it or if he was just pulling my feet even though he had confirmed my doubt and told me that he was serious. It was hard to accept because I had never expected him to ask me that ever since I found out he was betraying the pack. It felt unreal and unbelievable for him to ask me to marry him regardless of the fact that we were once dating and I didn’t want it, I never even thought of that happening between us from the start and if he thought that I was going to say yes to him and marry him then he was definitely deceiving himself.We may be mates as the moon goddess had ordained but he wasn't the only one who was my mate until he killed alpha which meant I had a choice back then. Even the moon goddess was being considerate to give me a choice because of the kind of person Raymond turned out to be but even though alpha was gone and Raymond was the o
Selena’s POVSeeing there was no way I could possibly recognize the person staring at me from afar, I shrugged the suspicion building in me off and I concluded that maybe he was probably looking at something behind me and not at me so I continued training as hard as I could so I could distract myself from the raging storm of intrusive thoughts in my heads.I was thinking about alpha, and how much I missed him. Even though we weren't really close when he was alive, from the little time we spent together when we found out we were mates, we grew quite a bond even though it was over a short period of time and I found myself wishing we had more time. Suddenly, I froze and I stopped punching.Was I falling for the alpha? I questioned myself in shock and it was quite hard for me to deny the question in my head. I didn't know if I did or not and there was no way to confirm it now because he was dead thanks to Raymond.I didn't know if it was because we were mates or if it was because we had a
Selena's POVI was frozen. It was like my brain was finding it difficult to assimilate any other thing at that moment as all I did was stare at alpha with wide and shocked eyes.“Are you really…?” I said, unable to finish my sentence and he nodded with that smile still on his face.“In flesh and blood Selena” he replied and I gasped. How was it possible? How could he possibly still be alive when I saw him burn to ashes in that huge flame that Raymond had his men set to his body?Slowly, the full realization that alpha was actually alive all along and never died in the first place hit me and I was overwhelmed with a sudden feeling of relief and joy. Still in the moment, I was about to run toward him and hug him tight to show him that I was glad he was alive but I quickly held myself back.I was beginning to find it hard to believe again that he could possibly be the one on my front because someone could be impersonating him to get information out of me. There was a possibility that Ra
Selena’s POVI jumped down onto the balcony leading to the room and the person on the other side of the door was still knocking, even harder than he or she was before and I sighed tiringly as I closed the glass doors to the balcony before I walked to the door and opened it.It was a maid and in front of her was a tray or I’d rather say, a platter of many dishes that were filled with so much food. I looked at her with shocked eyes.“I think you got the wrong room. I couldn't possibly eat all of this” I told her and she grinned before she bowed and gently pushed the tray toward me and I had to move out of the way for her to enter the room.“Nope, this is the correct room. Beta Raymond instructed that we bring enough food for you so you would eat to your satisfaction” she said as she placed the tray on the little dining table in a corner of the room and all I did was nod wordlessly as I took in what she just told me.Even if raymond wanted me to eat well, he would never put this outrageo
