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
Selena’s POVI watched Raymond as he couldn't stop smiling from what I just told him and I didn't feel a bit sorry for him to know I was putting up an act by marrying him. I was going to make sure his end was painful and he paid for all the times he hurt me and made me feel pain in his hands.Sighing from exhaustion of watching him celebrate endlessly, I stood up from my chair and he looked at me. Finally, I gained his attention.“I want to go to bed and I obviously won't be able to sleep with you here so leave. Good night'' I told him and he grinned instead.“We’re getting married Selena, don't you think it would be unusual if we used separate rooms?” he asked me and I folded my arms across my chest before I gave him a stone-hard stare.“So says the psycho who is threatening me to marry him. I would never share a bed with you Raymond and I want you to have that embedded in your brain'' I replied and with that, I turned to leave for the bed.I was going to ignore any other thing he sa
Selena’s POVThe plan was to take my time to have my bath and that was exactly what I did. I heard when Lily returned to the room and I heard her footsteps as she went to and fro in the room and I figured she was picking out the clothes I would wear for me. I was going to make Raymond pissed again because it was now my newest hobby as I had discovered. I knew I could piss him off and get away with it because he wouldn't hurt me anymore like he used to due to his delusional love for me.Once I was satisfied with how long I had spent taking my bath, I got out of the bathtub and I wrapped myself up in my robe before I drained the water down the bathtub. Then I made my way to the room and Lily was in a corner of the room, standing and waiting and I felt bad thinking about how long she must have been standing and waiting for me.I rushed toward her then I placed my hands on her shoulders before leading her to the bed and I sat her down.“Next time, you shouldn't stand and wait for me. Just
Selena’s POVWe ate in silence and all of Raymond’s attempts to start a conversation with me fell on deaf ears so soon he gave up and when we were done eating, the maids came back in and I watched them as they packed up all the plates and leftover food with shaky hands before they rushed back out of the dining room and I felt bad for them due to what Raymond was doing to them.It wasn't their fault that he feared getting killed by poisoning so why did he have to make them scapegoats for something he brought upon himself? No one asked him to betray the pack and gain enemies so why make them suffer for his deeds?I sighed as all the thoughts ran through my mind while I was still sitting there, then I noticed he was watching me and I looked at him with cold eyes.“What do you want now Raymond?” I asked him and he looked ahead, not meeting my eyes again but I made sure he felt my gaze that was still on him because I wanted to make hi
Selena's POVThe celebration was far from over but I was getting sick of it already, only that nobody including Raymond, chose to notice so I had to keep on a fake smile on my face. Everyone was still hailing and chanting my name and Raymond's name now and the members of the executives had stood up to join us on the podium to celebrate too. I couldn't help but wonder why everyone was claiming to be so happy over the news of two werewolves getting mated when they were also just told about the death of their alpha but no one was looking sad about that… except that same member of the executives who didn't want to believe alpha was dead at first.I just watched the whole crowd wordlessly and I was glad that Alpha saw everything himself. Now he knew who wanted him as leader and who didn't from the beginning. I couldn't really blame the members of the pack though, it was obvious that they were just trying to show their support to the new alpha to also protect their interests in case he woul
Selena’s POVAfter our whole episode of introducing ourselves was over and we both knew who we were, Lily y stood up from the bed and headed for the vanity while I watched her closely then she turned to look at me. “So you are going to have dinner with Raymond and the council of executives right?” she asked me and I nodded before I stood up to join her at the vanity and she sat me down on the chair in front of it.“What are you doing?” I asked her and she smirked.“Preparing you for the dinner of course” she replied and I quickly stood up from the chair to face her.“Woah, Woah, Woah. I don't see the need for that and I have no intentions of looking good for Raymond” I told her and she sighed before she forcefully sat me back on the chair and made me meet her eyes through the mirror in front of me then she placed her hands on my shoulders.“Who is in power and has this pack under his control now?” she asked me and I scrunched my eyebrows because the answer was obvious even though it
Selena’s POVLily finally finished adding her finishing touches to my face and she was done minutes later and when I looked in the mirror, I almost couldn't recognize myself as I stared speechlessly while touching my face in shock to be sure I was actually the one I was staring at through the reflective glass.“It's always like this first time but you'll get used to it soon,” she said and I grinned before collecting myself back together and I kept the facial expression and posture that would show my confidence just as she had taught me.“Woah! I look different!” I exclaimed and she smiled.“Do you like it?” she asked me and I grinned as I placed my hands on my lap and looked at her through the mirror.“Do I like it? No, I love it Lily” I replied and she laughed at my response before she walked off to the closet, and soon, she was back with a pair of shoes for me.The heels weren't too high and I was glad about that because I wasn't used to walking in heels.“I figured that you won't b
Selena's POVI and Raymond still shared a look and I wondered what was running through his mind at that moment. I wondered about what he could possibly be thinking about and I wondered if my and Lily's plan was working.I took another sip from my wine before I gently returned the glass to the table then I looked at him.“As I said, I wanted to surprise you…” then I stopped before leaning in closer to him so he would get a strong wisp of my perfume and I took my lips closer to his ear.“And I thought about everything carefully. Let's just say I decided to stick to the side that would benefit me” I whispered in his ear so no one would know what we were talking about then I pulled back from him and he was looking at me with eyes full of surprise. Just the reaction I expected to see when I told him what I just said.“Are you serious Selena? You aren't pulling my legs, are you? Have you really forgotten about everything and decided to work with me?” He asked me so many questions at a time
