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
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
