Selena's POVI finished my lunch almost immediately I started eating and when I was done, I just sat on the bad and I looked around the room which lasted for probably hours. I didn’t have a watch so I couldn’t tell if it was late or not but I was sure it would be evening already.I figured the door would be locked so I didn't bother trying to check but after trying to put myself to sleep for a while, I got bored and I wanted to leave the room so badly.So I decided to try one more time, hoping that luck would be on my side and the door would be open. Taking in a deep breath, I stood up and went for the door, then I stared at the knob for a while before I closed my eyes to prepare myself, then I finally took the knob and I turned.I heard a click immediately and the door gave away to me. Joy washed over me as I saw the door was not locked which meant Raymond probably left it open for me intentionally or he walked out angrily when I pissed him off and forgot to lock the door. I was sur

Selena’s POV I was still grinning at Ava as I watched with glee, how her eyes went wide with anger in them and her nostrils flared as she watched me laughing to my satisfaction. She looked like she couldn't take it anymore and was going to lose it further than she already had and the goal was to drive her crazy until she would hit me and then end up regretting it when Raymond would find out what she did.She shifted in her chair uncomfortably as she watched me laughing and when she had gotten to her limit, she stood up from her chair and came at me with speed.Suddenly, she slapped me on the right cheek. Before I could recover from the hit and burn, her palm hit me hard on my left cheek too, making the pain double and I hissed in pain while she grinned this time while staring down at me.“Who's smiling now bitch?” she asked and when the pain was okay to endure, I smiled back.“I'm not crying though,” I said and she gritted her teeth hard before she slapped me again.“I told you I’m t

Selena’s POVThe door opened and I quickly turned around to look and it was Raymond. He was still having a blank and indifferent look on his face and I could tell that he was obviously pissed at me.He dropped the clothing on the bed then he took a step back from me before he pointed at the clothes on the bed.“Those are the clothes that you wanted so badly,” he said while pointing at them and I didn't say a word to him as I picked them up from where he threw them then I looked at him, expecting him to get the hint and turn around or walk out of the room so I could dress up but he just looked back at me, not getting the message I was trying to pass through.“I need to dress up Raymond so you would have to look away or give me full privacy by leaving the room,” I told him, and still with a blank face, he turned around to walk out of the room but then he stopped and looked back at me.“Five minutes and I'm coming back in,” he said and with that, he walked out of the room.I made a face

Selena’s POVI took one last look around me to be sure no one saw me come in and when I didn't catch any sight of anyone watching from a corner or the silhouette of anybody in the dark, I sighed in relief because that was one step in getting Raymond out of the way down. All I had to do now was to find my way into the palace discreetly and get a silver knife while making sure no one would see me.Making sure my footsteps were silent, I dashed into the palace through the back passage and I made sure to watch for anyone’s presence in case I was to bump into anybody while making my way into the palace. The passage hadn't been used for years so there was a high possibility that I won't run into a single soul until I got to my destination but I didn't want to take any chances. I still made sure I was alert, careful, and watchful so I would knock anyone that saw me out immediately before he or she would throw a fuss or cause an alarm by calling for others… I couldn't risk letting my plan get

CHAPTER TWENTYSelena's POV“Let me go, you freaks!” I growled at them while I glared at Raymond and I still struggled to get myself out of their grip on my arms that they had pulled to my back but their hold was too tight and strong and I couldn't free myself.“Why should I do that? So you would try your lame attempt to kill me again?” Raymond fired back at me and I felt a blow to my ego as the beta of the pack. I felt insulted because it felt like all the training I had done for years didn't pay off if I couldn't just simply kill Raymond with one strike.I tried to release myself from the grip of his men again but they only held me back tighter and made me go on my knees while I still glared up at Raymond who was staring down at me with mockery in his eyes and all I wanted badly was to wipe that look off his face. I watched him as he bent on one knee in front of me then he smirked before he began to run his forefinger through the locks of my hair that fell on my face and he pushed
