Selene's POV The moment I stepped into my room, something in me exhaled.It was the walls first. That deep, familiar shade of purple that I had chosen myself, a long time ago, back when choosing the colour of a room had felt like the most significant kind of freedom available to me. Then the ceiling, and the chandelier, that 3D hemisphere moon I had loved from the first moment I saw it.I stood in the doorway for a
Selene's POV I had no answer for that, so I sat with it instead, turning it over in the early morning quiet, feeling the warmth of Victor's hand still resting near my side. The curtains were barely open, just a thin line of pale light pressing through the gap. The room was still. The whole world felt still.“What if he does.”I let those four words do what they wanted to do, let them push back against e
Selene's POV Warmth settled over me in a way I hadn't felt in a long time.Not the sharp, fleeting kind that comes and goes before you can hold onto it. This was slower. The kind that starts somewhere in your chest and spreads outward until it reaches parts of you that have been cold for so long you had stopped noticing.I stood at the window for a while after Abel left, just feeling it.
Selene's POV Abel's question hit me somewhere I wasn't prepared for.Not because it was unexpected, not entirely, but because of the way he said it. Without accusation.

Selene's POV Helena smiled. It was a slow, satisfied curve of the mouth, the smile of someone who has just watched an arrow find its mark."You know what things," she said."I asked you a question. Answer it or stop talking."Her smile didn't waver. "You are hiding so
Selene's POV Helena's eyes narrowed. I watched her mouth begin to form the word again, slowly, like she wanted me to see it coming.But then her hand came up at the same time.I didn't think. I didn't pause. I didn't weigh it or consider it or give myself time to talk myself out of it.
Selene's POV “Alpha Dimitri, I think…” Anthony started, stepping forward.“Think less,” Alpha Dimitri snapped. “You are speaking out of turn.”The room fell into a silence so tense I could hear my own heartbeat.Alpha Dimitri turned his glare back to me. “And as for you,” he said slowly, his voice
Selene's POV Anthony’s groans pulled me back to reality. Whatever mess I had with Victor could wait. This wasn’t about feelings or pride anymore.This was about life or death.I grabbed my phone with shaky fingers and called the Nightshade doctor. I barely remember what I said, I just remember yel
Selene's POV Anthony's hands immediately slipped from my waist as I jerked back. I turned around to see Abel storming toward us with rage written all over his face.“What the hell is this?!” he barked.“It’s not what you think,” I said quickly.Abel’s eyes narrowed, shifting between me and Anthony
Selene's POV I didn’t answer Victor's question. Not because I didn’t want to, but because it didn’t matter right now. What I wanted to say would only bounce off his walls. I looked at him—really looked—and saw the truth written all over his body.“This… this is your father, isn’t it?”Victor didn’
