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
Selena's POVSoon, I was done having my bath and I left the bathroom for the room. Lily was seated at the table and she had a smile on her face once she saw me.“Someone did her part perfectly earlier tonight,” she said teasingly and I grinned back at her in glee.“I’m glad I met your expectations” I replied before I made my way toward the closet and she followed suit.I pulled a night dress from the wardrobe before I turned to look at her where she stood watching me and she raised her brows at me.“Why’re you staring at me?” She asked with a wide smile on her face and I shrugged.“You know you don’t have to go to the maid's quarters to sleep right?” I asked and she shrugged too.“Glad you're inviting me into your room then. I may be training you and all to help alpha get back his throne but you are still his mate and that makes you the luna so the respect should be there” she said and I laughed.“Please don't say that Lily, it just sounds so weird and I don't like that. You're my men
Alpha's POVI didn't want to be understanding but then I had no choice but to play along with her because I was trying to be understanding. Funny right?She was being honest though and the funny thing is I completely understood what she was trying to say but I wasn't sure if she was being completely honest with me because it seemed like she had more on her mind. She was on edge.I just had to let it go though, if she didn't want to talk about it, then I had to let her take her time until she was ready to come to me to bare her whole thoughts and fears but until then, I had to keep on playing according to her cards and support her for any decisions she makes about us.She was the only hope I had in helping me get my throne back from Raymond so I had no choice but to keep on being understanding until we got this major issue which was Raymond out of the way. It was the only thing we should be concentrating on at the moment.I jumped over the fence to the palace after making sure no one w
