LOGINSelene's POV
Victor’s question thundered through the garden as he slammed his palm against the table, shaking everything. Plates rattled, and the wine glass tipped, spilling red across the white cloth like blood.
But I remained calm, my hands by my sides. My heart was hammering in my chest, but my face stayed calm. I just had to hold it together.
"Sign the divorce papers, Victor," I replied firmly. "That&rsqu
Victor's POV "Go after her," Kael whimpered, a broken sound I had never heard from him. "Please. We can't lose her."But my feet felt like they were buried in concrete."Alpha." Abel's urgent voice broke through the mind link. "I found something on Mirella, and you need to see it right away."I closed my eyes, trying to breathe past the crushing weight on my ribs. "Not now.""It can't wait," Abel pressed. "It is about your father. And it is bad."The mention of my father made my jaw clench. I wanted to shift and run after Selene. I wanted to drop to my knees and let this grief tear me apart. But duty always came first, even when it was killing me."I'm coming," I said through the link, my voice hollow.When I reached my office, Abel was anxiously pacing near the window. He turned when I walked in, his face twisted with disgust."What is it?" I asked flatly.He grabbed a thick folder from the desk, his knuckles white around it. "You need to see this."As he pushed it into my hands, I
Victor's POV I couldn't stop staring at Selene, at those eyes that held nothing but raw hope and terrible fear. My chest felt crushed, like someone had wrapped iron chains around my ribs and squeezed until breathing became painful.Kael snarled inside me, angry and desperate. "Say yes. Say it now before we lose her forever."But the word… it got stuck in my throat like shattered glass.I loved her. Goddess above, I loved her more than my own cursed life. I would rip apart anyone who dared touch her. I would burn the world to ash if it meant keeping her safe. But this? This one thing she was begging me for?I couldn't give it to her."Selene," I started, my voice coming out rough and broken."Answer me," she whispered, her palm still resting on my chest, right over my thundering heart. "Do you love me enough?"I closed my eyes, trying to find the words that wouldn't destroy us both. When I opened them again, her face looked blurred. "I love you more than anything in this world."Hope
Selene's POV Victor’s hand slid up my arm slowly. “I have got you,” he whispered, his voice deep and rough. “No one will touch you again.”But before he could say more, Elara's quiet voice interrupted the moment.“Caz, if I make it,” she breathed, “mark me. I want to be yours. Only yours.”
Selene's POV I tried to push Vanessa off, but my legs gave out, and I dropped to one knee. The poison Lisa used was working faster now. My chest was on fire, my head throbbed, and I couldn’t sense Nyra anymore. It was as if my wolf had been severed from me.“Elara,” I whispered, glancing back at her.She was still lying there, blood soaking through her clothes. Her chest barely moved, and the knif
Selene's POV I took a step closer, my pulse steady, eyes locked on Lisa. “What is this?”Before I could get another word out, the third woman pushed Lisa aside and moved forward, her boots scraping softly against the floor. Her hood fell back, and I froze.Long dark hair. Pale skin. Eyes that used to sparkle with arrogance.
Victor's POV Mirella's lip suddenly began to tremble. She covered her face with both hands, rocking gently like a wounded animal.“I didn’t mean for things to get this bad,” she cried. “I only wanted forgiveness. I would give my life if it would make Lady Selene forgive me. I swear I would.”I remained still, unfazed.
