Selena’s POVShifting was quite hard for me and that was when I knew that I had slacked off a lot. It had been a while and now, it was having its effects on me and it wasn't a good thing due to the situation that I was in. I had to work harder on my fighting skills if I knew I really wanted to be a help to alpha and not a bother.With that thought in mind, I connected my mind with that of my wolve’s and I growled lowly before I concentrated at the best I could before I focused all of my energy on my werewolf energy and began to shift for the fourth time.My bone snapped and cracked gradually and I howled and growled as I felt my skin expanding and changing into fur then after a while, I was completely in my werewolf form. I glanced at Lily before turning to Laisha and from the looks on their faces, they looked impressed which meant this time was way better than the first three times that I shifted. That felt encouraging and I suddenly wanted to practice more.I shifted back to my huma
Selena's POVI took my time to have my bath in the bathroom because honestly, I was reluctant about going down there for the coronation of Raymond into becoming the new alpha when Alpha was still very alive.I turned off the shower when I was done having my bath and washing my hair, then I walked to the mirror and stared for a long time as I watched the water that was left on my hair drip down to the floor.I didn't want to dress up just to look good for Raymond again. I hated the fact that he was the sole reason why I was playing dress up because if I wanted to look good, I wanted to do it on my own volition and not for a man that was a psychopath and was likely going to kill everyone around him one day due to his blind anger that he couldn't control.Sighing to myself, I took my gaze off the mirror before I took the towel that hung on the wall and I used it to dry my hair before returning to the room.Lily was holding a dress in her hand as I came out and it was purple in color… I a
Selena's POVWe walked down the passage that led to the stairs as usual and many guards were situated around the stairs when we got there. I and Lily looked at each other upon seeing them and I kind of figured that it was because of the coronation that they were that many so we didn't need to panic about anything.We walked down the stairs together with Lily in my front and the guards bowed down to me one after the other after the moment they saw me.I could see them giving numerous quick glances at me just to stare at my dress and my new look with the same shock from the previous night on their faces and I met each of their gazes with an icy look that made them look away immediately. I hated the way they all stared at me so I had to make them stop staring. I was the luna and I had the power to do that… With just one look and it was done.“Good job” Lily whispered to me, referring to how I confidently stopped those guards from staring at me by glaring at them, then she walked ahead o
Selena’s POVThe whole coronation process and rites finally came to an end and I just watched from where I sat, how people cheered and hailed Raymond’s name on and on right after he officially became the new alpha of the star moon pack. It was done and there was no turning back now, the plan was going to be set in full motion with more intensity from now on and there wasn’t going to be a choice of looking back or having second thoughts. Raymond was now the alpha and it wasn’t a dream… I was really going to end the man I was pretending to love.With the weight of my whole thoughts and realization settling on me, I sighed to myself in distress because I was the one heading the whole mission. Lily was just there to cheer me on and tell me what to do and what not to do since she was more experienced but she was still in a disguise while I wasn’t. I had to be extremely careful while carrying out any action that had to do with the mission because unlike Lily and Alpha’s guards, I had my lif
Selena's POVI finally snapped out my reverie and trance when I realized that I was staring at Raymond way too long for it to just be an act.The crowd was still cheering for us and I quickly put on a smile to cover up my panicked look after realizing that I may or may not be falling for Raymond all over again. I didn't even know if it was all just an act or if it was real anymore but one thing I knew was that I couldn't let Lily know what was running through my mind at the moment because she was only going to panic and it wasn't going to be beneficial for the two of us.I was still sticking to Alpha’s plan because no matter what was going to happen or how complicated my feelings were going to get, I still knew that Alpha was the rightful leader of this pack and Raymond stole it from him by betraying him and the pack members that didn't even know what was going on.Slowly, I took Raymond's hand off my waist and he gave me a questioning look.“I still need to go out for some air” I str
Selena's POVIt was in two days' time! My wedding with Raymond was in two days time and I was the one that chose the day. I was staring at him with wide eyes and I was speechless too because I didn't know what to say in response to what he just asked me when Lily suddenly linked our minds and told me to choose a day that wasn't too far. Without thinking, I spoke out immediately and told him I was okay with having it in two days' time, and the grin that appeared on his face immediately, you would think he won a chunk of wealth.I sighed as I sat on my bed and made a face. I was stressed and just wanted to sleep in for the night but I couldn't because I had to be present for the dinner feast that was to be held that same night which was just a few hours away.I should have known this was what I was signing up for when I willingly sacrificed myself for Alpha’s cause so I had no choice but to endure and keep up now. I wasn't used to it though, it was still taking time for me to get used
Selena's POVMidnight came, and everyone left for their homes so it was just me, Raymond, Lily, and the guards that were left behind in the courtyard. Alpha was gone from the rooftop too and I felt kind of empty due to his absence no matter how I tried to control how I felt. I guessed I was going to keep on being this way as long as he was my mate because the bond alone was enough to make us feel things for each other.His presence alone was enough to lift my mood throughout the night’s feast and the funny thing was, he wasn't even doing anything. He just sat there and stared back at me but I felt much more comfortable than I was beside Raymond. It was at that moment that I knew that I was just confused about Raymond. He may have been the one that I had been dating and believing I loved but weirdly, the feelings I was beginning to grow for Alpha little by little felt more genuine and even though I was scared that he may end up rejecting me after all of this, I liked how I felt about
Selena’s POVWe remained in that position for quite a while as I stared at Alpha, wondering where he was heading to with the questions he kept throwing at me but a part of me also wanted to let him know that the kiss I shared with Raymond meant nothing and I never even wanted to kiss him in the first place… I just did it to suit the members of the pack. “The kiss was nothing, I just had to play along and you know that” I replied and he growled again before he held my chin higher and I was looking at him directly in the eyes this time.My heart was still beating fast because I didn't know what to expect from Alpha and his questions. The way he looked at me too was setting a fire and butterflies in my stomach and I knew I was already close to losing it if we went on this way. “I don't care if you had to play along Selena, I want to know if you liked it or not,” he asked me again with fiercer eyes and I gulped before I opened my mouth to speak.“I don't know Alpha, I was confused and d
