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'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.
Victor's POV Abel didn’t flinch, only squared his shoulders, his eyes steady on mine. “I don’t know exactly, Alpha. But I know very well that a new crisis is already brewing in the shadows because of Camilla.”I ran my hand over my jaw, feeling the rough scrape of my stubble. My head felt too full
Selene's POV I took a deep breath, trying to steady my breathing. “Yes. I am.”The wind suddenly picked up, sending a chill through me. My hair blew across my face, and for a second, I was grateful for the cover because my eyes were welled up with tears.I knew what would happen if he found that t
Selene's POV My mouth opened, but no words came out. All I could think about was the rumour I had heard about how he had supposedly planned the kidnapping of Camilla’s baby to secure his own plans.If he thought my child could be used against Victor, he would not hesitate to rip it out of me.“Don
Selene's POV I placed the little plastic test into the bottom of my luggage, burying it under layers of folded dresses. My hands lingered there a second too long, feeling the hard shape through the fabric.When I finally closed the trunk, my chest felt empty.Leena hovered by the doorway, her eyes
