Selena’s pov

The palace was quieter than usual.

Not silent

palaces were never truly silent

but quiet enough that I could hear my thoughts

Thoughts that I didn’t want to think as I folded freshly laundered clothes into the basket.

A pair of socks. A shirt that still smelled faintly of Sisi’s lavender shampoo. A towel with a faded moon embroidery on the corner. Familiar things. Simple things.

Things that should have grounded me.

But instead, my hands stilled when I heard the footsteps pause outside the open door.

“Did you hear?” a maid whispered to another, barely loud enough to catch.

“Hear what?”

“A letter came this morning. An invitation. The Alpha of the Silverrun Pack is getting married tonight. They say the celebration will be grand—fire lanterns, wine that never runs dry, a guest list full of nobility…”

My spine straightened.

“Tonight?” the second maid asked.

“By seven,” came the reply. “They say Lord Cassian’s expected.”

My heart… did something I didn’t have a word for. Not exac

  • The cruel alpha’s hired Luna   Chapter 67

    CASSIAN'S POV“Anyone home?!!”“Hello!”My first went from merely grazing the surface to pounding hard on the door, and yet no one showed up for the minutes that I had stood there calling.I let my eyes scan the property. A fifteen room structure about a hundred and twenty feet in the air. It was gated, fenced round the compound with enough space for two more buildings to be added in and a wide parking lot holding up to twenty SUVs.How dare he use this property without my consent?My rage doubled but I managed to calm myself as I stood before the entrance, knocking for Zevran to come out.“I don't have all day, Zevran. I know you're in here, come out!”I banged for an additional ten minutes before I heard a noise somewhere behind.When I peered closely, cautiously so I wouldn't spook anyone he brought, I found a woman inside, watching television, her frame melted into the couch, holding an ice cream bucket in one hand and her phone in the other.Hermione.“Hey! Open the door.” I tapp

    Cassian POV“Alpha Cassian, in my humble opinion, I would suggest you should stay back, there's no need to show a child how to respect his—Joan pleaded but I hushed her.“No. No. I've had enough, someone has to show that little brat how to not act like a fool.” I insisted. My palms were clenched tightly, fury splurred inside of me. I could feel my breath hot against my nostrils, I had gotten enough of the brat.Beta Conrad stepped forward, blocking the door with his arms spread wide open. “Alpha Cassien, I know you're upset. You're on the right. Zevran has gone too far with his behavior, he deserves someone putting him in his place but that shouldn't be you. Not today at least, not now. You're not thinking with a clear head. How about you wait till tomorrow morning?”“Tomorrow I have a flight with Selene and Sisi and you know that.”“Fine. Then how about when you get back?” Conrad pressed.“No. That'll be too late.” I snatched my keys off the table and reached for my jacket by the co

    CASSIAN'S POV“I tried my best to handle it but I couldn't because…“Because I couldn't just…. Alpha, it was hard. You have to believe me….“I thought I could keep it at bay but he's been calling and threatening us and I… I just couldn't take it anymore.”Joan finally caught her breath. Conrad and I hadn't spoken since she entered, women were always so talkative and if there was one thing I learnt not to do, was interrupt them. It never worked out for them or for us.“Take a deep breath and tell me what happened.” I broke the silence.She obeyed me, her chest sunk gently and rose again. “At first he asked for fifty thousand dollars. I couldn't say no. I approved the loan.”“Fifty thousand dollars. Who asked for it?” My forehead wrinkled.From the fast rhythmic tapping of her feet and how she peeled the cuticles of her fingers with her teeth, I sensed it was someone she feared. “Speak. The alpha doesn't have all day.”“Alpha Zevran!” She blurted out painfully. I laid back in my offi

    CASSIAN'S POV“Alright then.”“Alright.”Silence lingered for about a minute before she stopped gawking at me and used the door.The air returned back to how rich and free it used to be when the door clicked gently. I rested back in my chair, shaking my head violently as I tried to get over the feeling of butterflies dancing in my chest.I wasn't excited over her. Never could be and never would be. She's not my type.‘Stop kidding yourself.’ the voice inside my head whispered but I barely had the time to answer when Conrad knocked.“Alpha.” He greeted me respectfully.“From the long look on your face, I can tell things are not going well at the school.”He nodded before he reached for the chair in front of my desk. Settled in, he folded the sleeves of his baby blue shirt, his elbows bent on my table.“We've got a big problem.”“Talk to me.” My elbows also kissed the edge of my desk. “What did you see?”“Zevran. He might be a big problem.”“Tell me exactly what you saw.”He leaned back

    SELENA'S POVMy mouth fell the moment he mentioned that he would be giving her $5000 for the week. My entire body froze. We haven't seen that much money all our life and here is talking about giving Eleanor a $5,000 bill. I tried to eye ball him for a reduction but he didn't even look at me. He pulled the notes out and handed them to her.“This should be enough” Eleanor stretched and took the notes from him. Her eyes flashing with surprise and gratitude.“Thank you so much Alpha Cassian this is more than enough for a month. I never get this much to start with"’ her voice quivered like she was at the verge of crying.“I shall take my leave now,"she said. I pushed the sit out and got up, adjusting my dress slowly as I walked to meet her by the side. Eleanor waved at Sisi, a good bye that came from a grateful heart and a hand that had just received a huge sum of money.Once we reached the door post outside the porch I pulled Eleanor back.“Why?” I asked with my palm open in the air like

    SELENA’S POV“Yes!” I answered, nodding my head and swallowing the saliva as hard as I could. It gulped down my throat, hurting me in the process. All this while I had it in mind that he would definitely mention my sister’s unwanted presence in his pack but he never said a word still. With my hands behind my back I stood there waiting for him to release me, his scent wafted through my nostrils, I have smelt that perfect cologne on him before, only for very special occasions, why was I smelling it now? I couldn’t fathom so I quickly waved it off my thoughts since it’s not a part of the worries I have at the moment. Minor maybe but not the reason I am shaking under this man right in front of me. He slowly retreated from me, eyes still locking, then that mischievous smile that made him look so handsome yet dangerous appeared like he had been wanting to show me ever since.“You promise to obey me Selena”“I promise!” I wasn’t sure yet how all that related to what I would be doing here b
