Selene POVMy heart raced as I dashed into the room to protect my child. The necklace around his neck glowed, signaling trouble ahead. “Babe!” Caspian shouted as he burst in. “What is it?” I replied. “Close the windows…” but it was too late. Flames erupted through the windows, sending everyone to the ground. I held my child tightly. “We need to escape!” I screamed. Jason hurried to the bed and pushed it aside, revealing a tunnel beneath. “This tunnel has been here for years. We need to use it; go in with the baby.” “And leave everyone else to die?” I protested. “We both know Jessica is after the child. Vincent and I will handle the creature.” An explosion shook the mansion, causing me to stumble. My baby cried. Lilly charged into the room, rushing to our side. “We need to act. So many city members are dying!” I handed her the child. “You must take care of him. Use the underground tunnel and run as fast as you can. The necklace will protect him.” “I can’t abandon everyone!
Selene POVI asked the doctor, "What do you mean there’s no baby in her womb?" as he meticulously set his bag down and pulled out a potion. “Please wait a moment; I want to try something,” he replied, returning to his examination of the potion. I glanced at Caspian, who met my gaze with an intense look. Overwhelmed with the desire to walk up to him and slap him hard, I was determined to act on that impulse. “This will keep her stable for now. I hope we can find answers to the troubling issue at hand,” the city doctor said. I left the room, sensing someone following closely behind me, but I didn’t turn to check. Entering the garden, I made my way toward the stream and sat by the water. “I know you’re hurting.” “You have no idea what it feels like to be betrayed,” I replied. Selene approached and sat beside me, resting her hand on my shoulder. “You can’t let this consume you.” “I can’t believe you’re not even angry. Your wife cheated on mine, and you want me to calm down?” I s
Lilly POV"And that’s how I ended up in this predicament," he concluded.After greeting the guests, we made our way to the bar where he recounted his experiences with his ex-wife.I couldn’t help but feel sympathy for him; he didn’t deserve to be treated cruelly by anyone.Suddenly, I was startled by Mike’s presence behind me."Surprised you made it, considering your wife issues," he remarked with a grin."Watch what you say," Vincent warned.It was clear they didn’t get along, as evidenced by their previous interactions."Mr. Wallace is here to see you," Mike informed Vincent, walking closer to his side. "He has an offer, but there are conditions."I watched as they exchanged intense glances.Vincent stood up and spoke without hesitation. "I hope you’re not going to insult my wife," he cautioned before departing.I noticed Vincent walk over to a grey-haired man, with Anita at his side, smiling mischievously."Don’t be too hard on yourself when they start dancing," Mike said as I turn
Lilly POVI found myself unable to gather my thoughts or figure out what to write while lying in bed.It was a weekend evening, and the week had brought a whirlwind of events that deserved to be recorded.Gazing at my diary, I picked up my pen again, intending to jot down the things I was grateful for, when I heard a loud knock on the door."Who is it?" I called out.Pulling back the curtains, I peeked outside and saw Vincent standing at my door.What brings him here?Our last meeting hadn't ended on a good note.I leaped out of bed and hurried to open the door. When I did, our eyes locked before I stepped aside to let him in."Are you free?" he asked, settling onto the couch."Yeah," I replied, making my way back to bed and covering my diary."I just got invited to an exclusive party with many top Alphas attending. We need to go to secure more soldiers for the pack," he explained."But it's my weekend, sir. I need a break," I countered."Well, there’s no off time when it comes to bei
Jessica PovWith a flick of my wrist, the sword vanished, causing O'Riley to shove his pipe aside, coughing on the now-visible magic.“I am Jessica, a powerful skilled fighter,” I introduced myself, noting the flicker of fear in his eyes. “I know you can lead an army and that you're a better leader than your cousin, which is why I’m here.”“Does Lucian know you’re a skilled fighter?” he asked, returning to his seat.“He doesn’t. I have him under my thumb,” I said, recalling the severed bond between us.In my mind, he remained under my control, and soon he would be mine again.“We share the same ambition: to rule and conquer,” I revealed. “Your cousin commands the army and will not hesitate to kill you if you attempt to seize power.”“But with me at your side, our chances of success increase dramatically,” I concluded, leaning back against the couch.“If our ambitions align, we cannot collaborate. I cannot trust a skilled fighter,” he dismissed with a wave of his hand.I rolled my eyes
Selene POV“Just stay strong, Selene. The baby will be here soon,” the maid reassured me. My body trembled violently, drenched in sweat, and pain coursed through me as if I were being torn apart. The contraction hit me with unparalleled force, causing my life to flash before my eyes.I screamed again, gripping the bed sheets tightly as I struggled to breathe.Suddenly, there was silence, followed by a loud wail.I looked up at the ceiling, relief washing over me.Tears streamed down my face as the maid gently brought the baby from beneath the bed to show me.“Queen. It’s a boy,” she said with kind eyes.With care, she handed the baby to me. I wrapped him in a soft clean cloth and cradled him in my arms.He was peacefully asleep.I placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. A surge of joy enveloped me as I realized that my son was everything I had ever wanted.Just then, the door swung open, and Caspian entered, emotions evident on his face.“You did it,” he said, stepping forward to kiss
