Se connecterSelene's POV Sapphire closed the door behind us."Three days of work," she said.I looked at the table. Then I looked at the walls. Then I looked at the table again.It was buried. Not stacked neatly, not modestly organised, but completely buried under files and print
Selene's POV I was exhausted down to my bones by the time I left the castle.The argument with Ethan had wrung something out of me that the quiet of my room afterward had not been able to put back. I lay there for a while in the dark, staring at the ceiling, but the room was too still and no amount of lying quietly in it was going to change that.I thought about Eli. About the sound of his laughter and the way he r
Victor's POV I gave the order with the kind of calm that came from having already decided and having no interest in being talked out of it."Prepare for the banquet," I said. "We are attending."The silence that followed was the kind that forms when a room full of people has received information they were not expecting and is trying to decide how to respond to it without overstepping.
Selene's POV Ethan looked at me, his jaw tight. He said nothing."Good," I said. "Then listen to me."I stood up and I did not raise my voice because I did not need to. The quieter I spoke right now, the more clearly he would hear every word."Let me tell you what Mel

Like a new kind of energy moved in where the grief had been sitting, the brightness of a person who has been turning something over in their mind and has finally arrived at a plan they feel good about.I recognised that look. And honestly, it made me slightly nervous."I have been thinking," she started.
Victor's POV When I heard that Caz had arrived at the pack, I smiled for the first time in days. It felt like finally, something was going right.If Selene had asked for my permission to let Caz into the pack, it meant that she was beginning to warm up to me. Otherwise, she would have just brought
Victor's POV My gaze swept over the chaos, but they kept coming back to Selene. Her back was straight, her arms crossed, her chin held high like royalty. And yet… she was still just an omega.Or at least, that was what I had been told.But as I looked at her, really looked at her, I saw nothing we
Selene's POV Before I could make up my mind, Victor suddenly deepened the kiss. It wasn't gentle anymore. It was hungry and… possessive.I should have pushed him back and reminded him that we were in the middle of a divorce, that I was still mad at him.But I didn’t stop him because for one second
Selene's POV “Caz, I…” Elara's voice broke. Like the words suddenly got stuck in her throat.Dimitri started struggling against my grip, his body tense with anger. His fist drew back, and for a moment I thought he would hit Caz again. But to my surprise, Elara rushed forward, her hands flying out
