SELENA’S POV

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked as our car stopped in front of the palace.

"Lucian said we should trust him," Rowan insisted and stepped out of the car.

He held his hand out for me and I took it to get out of the car. I ran my hands over my glittery blue gown and sighed as I glanced up at the beautiful decorated palace.

My parents and Darcy were already in because I was scared of coming. Rowan had assured them that he would bring me with him and made them leave first.

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Ancestral Bowl of Ardyth

    LUCIAN’S POVSelena swallowed hard, She was frightened and I could understand why. There was an old myth about the ancestral bowl of Ardyth that we had both learned as kids. If two unmated wolves combined their blood in the bowl, instant death would follow in a cruel and ruthless way.Selena's voice came out tight and raspy."Lucian… are you sure?"I nodded, keeping my gaze on her. "I am sure."Her hand trembled, but she did not step back. That was one thing I loved about her, behind the fear, behind the uncertainty, she was firm.The court members whispered in chorus behind us like a brewing storm."He's mad.""Is he going to kill them both?""Why risk his life?"I turned away from their whispers because I had already seen how today would turn out.********FLASHBACKAfter the coronation ended, I made sure Selena was settled in her room before I retired for the night. I hadn’t closed my eyes for up to thirty minutes when I saw myself standing at the palace yard.The priestess had sli

    SELENA’S POV“Selena Ravenwood, Beta Prince Lucian, step forth.” The High Priestess summoned us.I released the breath I was holding and took a step towards the altar, with Lucian beside me. His hand brushed against mine, warm and reassuring. The palace yard was filled as the entire royal court was present, their eyes aglow with the blue light of the full moon. Caius stood with them with his face expressionless and Elira beside him, her lips curled in the very same evil grin that I had not been able to get rid of in my head since the incident in the restroom last night.Her red eyes, that ice-sharp authority that had me trapped, that smile that still seared my skin.There was something up with her, and I knew it to my bones. She was still the same as my past life, but was Lucian the same, too? I was so confused. After thinking it through that night, I had planned to tell Lucian that morning to get his reaction but he disappeared for the rest of the day after he told me about the mat

    CAIUS’S POV‘This can’t be true,’ I thought to myself, clenching my fists in fury so hard I can feel my knuckles throb.My eyes followed them everywhere, Lucian and Selena. His arm slung casually high on her shoulder, staking his claim on her and she didn’t stop him. She smiled at him and blushed at his compliment as if it was normal. My blood boiled.I knew it was all staged. The second chance mate was all bullshit. There was no way the moon goddess would bestow a weak wolf like Selena a second chance mate. It was all a pretense to save her from being humiliated. Lucian might have agreed to it now but he would back out once he found his mate which would only embarrass Selena more.I downed the drink in my hand, trying to quench the fire burning in my chest. I wasn't jealous, definitely not. I didn't mind if she moved on from me, she could be with whoever, but not my brother.Selena excused herself to the restroom and I knew that was my chance to talk sense into Lucian. Lucian laughe

    SELENA’S POV"You're doing better than I thought you'd do," Lucian whispered, his hand around mine as we walked through the crowd.I forced a smile at him and replied, "I'm just trying to get through this night I guess."“It will be over soon.” He squeezed my hand as we stopped in front of the King and Queen of Ardyth, a country who has the best and longest alliance with Lunaroria. The king’s blue eyes sized me up before his face broke into a wide grin."Prince Lucian, it’s good to see you again." His eyes looked at me again. “You have a very beautiful mate. Selena, right?”“Yes, your highness.” I returned the smile.The Queen, who was in a silver glittering dress, caressed my cheeks. "You two do make a good pair."“I know, right.” Lucian placed his hand on my lower back, pulling me closer. “I feel like the luckiest man on earth right now.”“You should.” The king laughed and Lucian joined him. "I used to hope that my daughter will be your mate but it seems we can’t go against fate."L

    LUCIAN'S POV "Lucian, what the fuck are you doing?" Caius whisper-yelled at me as he glared at me."Calm down bro," I whispered back while smiling widely at him. "I’m her second chance mate. I thought I should give a little surprise on your coronation and also you don’t need to worry about me playing with her."Caius wanted to say something back at me but the muttering in the crowd got louder as they parted the way for Selena to walk toward me. I could see the surprise in her eyes because she definitely wasn’t expecting me to announce her like that in front of everyone at Caius’s coronation.I climbed down the stairs to meet her half-way and then I took her hand in mine with a huge smile on my face. We walked back up to the podium together and I noticed the eye contact between her and Caius before she averted her eyes. We turned to face the crowd and she kept her eyes on the ground. "Keep your head up,Selena," I whispered. "As long as I am standing next to you, no one is going to ta

Royalties from other countries were also present.“Just stay calm,” Rowan whispered in my ear and gave my hand an assuring squeeze.Some She-wolves from other packs app
