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
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
