"Because I think I might know who he is," I said.

Selene's POV It was the end of the month before I was fully ready for it.I had known it was coming. I had been seeing it approach for weeks, marking it off in my mind the way you mark off something that carries both weight and anticipation, something you want and are not entirely sure you are prepared for. The time had come. I was about to formally take over my territory.
Selene's POV "Because I think I might know who he is," I said.Anthony was still for a moment. "Go on."I looked back at the page. At Mr. K sitting at the bottom of the list, separate from everything else, with that quality of a name that has been deliberately made as small as possible.
Selene's POV Eli looked between us, his small face moving from mine to Anthony's and back again, reading the air the way children read air before they understand words.

Selene's POV Victo
Victor's POV The drizzle fell light and cold on my skin as I stepped outside. The sky was heavy and gray, the kind of sky that carried a warning. My boots sank into the wet ground with each step, but I didn’t slow down. Pack members bowed their heads and murmured greetings as I passed. I didn’t an
Selene's POV The second I stepped into the right-hand corridor of Victor’s quarters, I stopped walking. I stopped breathing. I stopped everything.Because there he was.Victor.Standing bold and tall right in the open, surrounded by a few warriors and servants. And right in front of him, touching
Victor's POV She walked away.Just like that.Her back was straight. Her steps fast. Her heels hitting the floor like thunder against my chest.I wanted to run after her. I wanted to grab her, beg her to stop, and explain everything. But for some weird reason, my damn legs refused to move and I ju
