Selena’s POVMy head ached so badly when I woke up. I couldn't move for a while as my body hurt too but with a lot of struggle, I managed to get up and when my eyes adjusted to the place, I wasn't in the study again but in a room, this time and I wondered if it was Raymond that brought me here or if he ordered someone to do it.Sighing to myself, I came down from the bed and headed for the bathroom. I was sure the day was almost coming to an end again and I hadn't had a bath yet so I decided it was best I used the opportunity to wash myself up before I began to hatch another plan on how to stop Raymond from harming alpha.I turned on the lights before I walked into the bathroom and the first thing I did was look in the mirror. I was almost taken aback at the sight of blood on my forehead but I quickly composed myself before I turned on the tap and I slowly rinsed my face to get the already-dried blood off.It took a while but soon, I was done and I took my clothes off then I turned on
Selena's POVI finished my lunch almost immediately I started eating and when I was done, I just sat on the bad and I looked around the room which lasted for probably hours. I didn’t have a watch so I couldn’t tell if it was late or not but I was sure it would be evening already.I figured the door would be locked so I didn't bother trying to check but after trying to put myself to sleep for a while, I got bored and I wanted to leave the room so badly.So I decided to try one more time, hoping that luck would be on my side and the door would be open. Taking in a deep breath, I stood up and went for the door, then I stared at the knob for a while before I closed my eyes to prepare myself, then I finally took the knob and I turned.I heard a click immediately and the door gave away to me. Joy washed over me as I saw the door was not locked which meant Raymond probably left it open for me intentionally or he walked out angrily when I pissed him off and forgot to lock the door. I was sur
Selena’s POVI waited for Alpha to catch his breath again due to the pains he was feeling in his ribs before he would tell me what his plan was and it was taking quite a while. I was patient enough though so I waited and just when he was about to speak and I inched closer to hear, light from nowhere suddenly flashed at us and in panic, I turned around to see who had caught me only to see it was Ava and I snorted in disappointment. speaking of the witch herself.A wide grin was on her face, her eyes stared wickedly at me and she kept on shining the light from the torch on my face.“Well, what do we have here? Someone is sneaking to see a criminal” she said in a sing-song voice mockingly and I folded my fists in anger. I was about to stand up and face her for the first time because honestly, I didn't think I had anything to lose again after all that had happened to me and alpha for the past day but alpha held me back and I looked back at him.He linked his mind with mine before telling
Selena’s POV I was still grinning at Ava as I watched with glee, how her eyes went wide with anger in them and her nostrils flared as she watched me laughing to my satisfaction. She looked like she couldn't take it anymore and was going to lose it further than she already had and the goal was to drive her crazy until she would hit me and then end up regretting it when Raymond would find out what she did.She shifted in her chair uncomfortably as she watched me laughing and when she had gotten to her limit, she stood up from her chair and came at me with speed.Suddenly, she slapped me on the right cheek. Before I could recover from the hit and burn, her palm hit me hard on my left cheek too, making the pain double and I hissed in pain while she grinned this time while staring down at me.“Who's smiling now bitch?” she asked and when the pain was okay to endure, I smiled back.“I'm not crying though,” I said and she gritted her teeth hard before she slapped me again.“I told you I’m t
Selena's POVMy lids began to flicker as consciousness streamed back into me. Then I remembered everything that happened and how I got to be wherever I was now and I opened my eyes immediately before sitting up with a start.I was back in the room where Raymond had kept me before but this time, the huge windows opposite the bed were opened and the bright sunlight was streaming in.The brightness hurt my eyes and my head hurt too due to how fast I sat up and I figured it was because of the hit I got from Ava. I remembered how Raymond held her tight by the neck and choked her and I chuckled to myself because it served her right.It was high time that someone placed her where she belonged so she would know that she shouldn't be hitting me like that.When I had finally fully woken up, I got down from the bed and headed for the bathroom to take in my appearance in the mirror and when I did, I was a mess.There were still imprints of fingers on my cheeks and the spot where I got hit by Ava
Selena’s POVThe door opened and I quickly turned around to look and it was Raymond. He was still having a blank and indifferent look on his face and I could tell that he was obviously pissed at me.He dropped the clothing on the bed then he took a step back from me before he pointed at the clothes on the bed.“Those are the clothes that you wanted so badly,” he said while pointing at them and I didn't say a word to him as I picked them up from where he threw them then I looked at him, expecting him to get the hint and turn around or walk out of the room so I could dress up but he just looked back at me, not getting the message I was trying to pass through.“I need to dress up Raymond so you would have to look away or give me full privacy by leaving the room,” I told him, and still with a blank face, he turned around to walk out of the room but then he stopped and looked back at me.“Five minutes and I'm coming back in,” he said and with that, he walked out of the room.I made a face
Selena’s POVI was still screaming out in anger, I wanted to remain in denial that Alpha was actually gone but the glaring sight of his burnt-up body with ashes as remains couldn't get out of my head.I couldn't stop staring too and I couldn't bring myself to scream out my agony anymore. I wasn't numb but I didn't know how else to show my misery and how heavy my heart felt.Everyone was staring at me like I was crazy. They stared like I had lost my mind, because I was the only one crying and wailing for a person they assumed to be a criminal but what they didn't know was that they just killed their alpha. They all contributed to his death so even if the truth were to be exposed at that moment that he was the alpha, they would all just plead with Raymond to cover it up for them because they were ignorant and that was how alpha's death was going to be covered up.Raymond had thought it all through thoroughly and it was very obvious that he had planned this for years. He didn't want to c
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
