LOGINSelina's POV
Luka froze.
It was only for a fraction of a second, a hitch in his breath, a subtle tightening of his jaw.
But I saw it.
Guilt is a funny thing; it flickers like a dying candle before the wind of a lie blows it back into a steady flame.
"What? Abby?" He let out an airy chuckle, shaking his head as if I'd just suggested the moon was made of blue cheese. "Babe, you must be really tired from the trip. I mean, how on earth could you think of that, h
Selina's POVMy dad's face was a ghastly white.A flicker of panic crossed Luka's features, and he stepped in front of Abby, holding her back. "Alright! That's enough!"But she ignored him."Selina, Luka bought this villa for me! And you stole it from me! So, get the hell out of my bedroom!" she jeered."Mom, get Dad back to his room..." I gasped, my chest heaving in absolute terror."Selina, I'm OK," he murmured. Then, he slowly turned his eyes toward Luka. His gaze was like sharp steel, radiating the commanding, unyielding aura of an old Alpha."Brat," he spat at Luka. "I can't believe I used to trust you. For ten years, I trusted you with my only daughter. I poured countless resources into your business without ever demanding a single thing in return. And this is how you treat Selina?"Luka flinched, utterly unable to hold my father's piercing glare."She stood faithfully by your side every single day for a decade! Sh
Selina's POVI knew damn well she wasn't up to any good. She was just looking for a chance to get under my skin.But I didn't back down. The second she buckled her seatbelt, I slammed my foot on the gas and ripped out of the driveway.She glanced over at me, a smug smile plastered on her face. "Selina, what's wrong? Not happy to have me in your car?""Well, what do you think? To be very blunt with you, just looking at your face makes me sick to my stomach," I said flatly, keeping my eyes locked on the road."Oh, great, that makes the two of us!" Her expression turned instantly dark. "You'd better pack your bags and move out of that villa right now, or I'll throw your stuff out!""Keep dreaming!""Selina, don't push your luck!""The only ones pushing their luck are you and your trashy family! You think I'm actually afraid of you?" I snapped, cutting a sharp glare toward her. "If you dare to lay a finger on me, I will drag you an
Selina's POVBefore Frida could utter a single word, Abby stepped into the living room, a sickeningly sweet smile on her face."My dad went over to the neighboring pack to visit an old friend," Abby lied smoothly. "So my mom and I decided to come over and keep you guys company. It's much more fun when we all live together, right?"My breath hitched in my throat. Live together? She meant they were moving in?Abby turned her head to look directly at me, a dangerous, arrogant gleam of triumph dancing in her eyes."Well, Selina rarely let us stay with her in the past. It's a rare treat that we can get together like this.""No, thank you," I shot back, keeping my tone clipped and ice-cold. "You two should just go back home."My father's sharp eyes darted straight to my face. He remained completely silent, but his heavy gaze didn't miss a beat. Even my mother seemed to sense the sudden drop in temperature within the room. She cleared her th
Selina's POVLuka was actually using my parents to blackmail me.He stood there with a bright, easy smile plastered across his face, acting as if nothing had happened."Babe, look who's here? How come you didn't invite them over to our new villa?""Luka, how dare you! My dad has a medical condition. How dare you drag him all the way here?!" I hissed through my teeth, keeping my voice down so my parents wouldn't hear my words.He completely ignored me, turning on his heel to give my parents a grand room tour.They looked around the sprawling layout, nodding approvingly at the high-end finishes.This was entirely my fault; it was a massive oversight on my part.I hadn't told my parents a single thing about what Luka had done because I didn't want my father to worry. He had recently suffered a sudden stroke, and I knew another massive emotional blow could literally kill him. Luka was weaponizing my father's fragile health to trap
Selina's POV"I'm sorry, Frida, but I am not you," I said, my voice cutting through her desperate pleas."I can never convince myself to be with a jerk like Luka! You should go home. Abby is pregnant now, so you might as well face reality.""Selina! You can't do this to us!" Frida's desperate facade cracked, and she lunged forward to grab my wrist. "You think you can just pack up and walk away from this family?!"I frowned, staring at her with genuine disbelief."It's bad enough that you're taking our granddaughter away, but you've managed to strip Luka of every single asset he owns! And now you're dragging him before the High Council to ruin him completely? Selina, you are being incredibly heartless!" Her face twisted, radiating years of buried resentment."If you want to leave so badly, fine. You can keep the old pack house. But you must give that new villa back to us—it's not for you!"Any lingering ounce of sympathy I had for this woman vanished instantly. "Luka is the one who ch
Selina's POV"Luka, what the hell are you doing?!" Abby's shrill, piercing voice sliced through the heavy tension in the room.Abby stormed into the living room as she locked her gaze onto me."Selina, how shameless! Luka is my mate. He always has been! And now, he's the father of my pup!" She took another aggressive step forward, her chest heaving."You sent my father to jail, took all Luka's assets. You really are a piece of something! Now you're living in my villa. Isn't that enough for you? Why are you still back here to flirt with Luka?!""Shut up!" I roared, the raw power of my voice cutting her off instantly. My wolf's claws scratched under my skin. "I'm only here to pick up my stuff. That man means nothing to me now, and he's all yours. You two truly deserve each other!""What did you say?!" Abby shrieked, losing the last shred of her sanity as she lunged directly at me, her fingers clawed like a rogue.I didn't even flinch. "
Selina's POVI didn't press for the rest of the pack members to stay. I knew better than to corner Luka completely right now. I needed him to make a concession."Can't we just go home and talk about this? Why are we airing family issues in the middle of the office?" Kole stepped for
Selina's POVThe hospital room door flew open, and Elise rushed in, her eyes frantic."Selina! Are you OK?!"Her words cut off instantly as her gaze locked onto Damon, who was still leaning over my bed. She blinked, completely caught off guard by his sheer, imposing pre
Selina's POV"A secret? You're so utterly shameless, Abby. How could you possibly have any secrets left?""Oh, come on, Selina. I've sent you so many pictures. Have you enjoyed them?" she said, taking a slow, casual sip of her wine."Since you're so good at playin
Selina's POV"I need to talk to you. Will you come?" Abby's voice boomed through the phone."Really? Why didn't you say it just now?" I demanded, my grip tightening around the phone."Well, it's something just between you and me. I'll send you the address."Then, she h
