Selena looked out of the palace window nervously. When Zaiden took her from the Shadow Howlers pack, she had been ecstatic that he wanted her as his mate. However, now she was worried the kingdom's people wouldn't think she was good enough. He was the Lycan King, and she was an omega. She was also deaf and mute. No one knew what had caused it, but she had been that way since birth. She had another secret, too, that no one knew. She didn't have a wolf. Selena was from the Red River pack. Her family had treated her okay, but they mostly kept her locked away in the house. She knew they were ashamed of her because she had no wolf and couldn't speak or hear. After being rescued from Last Moon, they tried to hide her back in the house again. Selena didn't want that. Bianca had been the only one to treat her like a normal person, so when she visited the Shadow Howlers, she was going to ask if she could stay there. However, things changed quickly when she realized Zaiden was her mate. Even

Selena looked at Andrew in shock. How could she be the daughter of a god and goddess? She also didn't understand why that had anything to do with her being unable to hear or speak. Why can't I speak? She wrote in her notebook. "The sister that sent you here had a curse placed on you, so you can only hear and speak if you are mated to a shifter. When Eros found out what she had done, he asked Selene, the Moon Goddess, for help. She made it possible that you were reborn to a werewolf family. You weren't their biological daughter, so you didn't have a wolf. Selene said she would have you mate with one of her wolves. Once Zaiden marks you, you will get a wolf and be able to hear and speak. I must warn you. Once the curse is broken, the sisters will know what happened and will not rest until they get revenge." Andrew saw both Selena and Zaiden becoming more and more confused. "Why would they want revenge on Selena? She hasn't done anything to anyone," Zaiden asked, making sure she cou

Violet helped Selena put on a dark blue sundress and zipped it up for her while Zaiden was busy talking to the warriors. Violet braided her long blonde hair, and Selena smiled at her in the mirror. "Thank you for your help since I've been here." She said to the older werewolf. Violet smiled and patted her shoulder. "I'm happy to have you here. Zaiden has been so happy since finding you. He was miserable before you came." She replied as Selena slid her feet into a pair of blue heels that matched her dress. She felt like a new person, being able to speak and hear. When Zaiden walked into the room, she ran into his arms. Violet smiled and left them alone. She didn't like betraying them and handing them over to the sisters, but she didn't have a choice. "Gunnar and Bianca are almost here. They're bringing their best warriors as well as the two pups with them." He said before kissing her. The night before had been incredible for them. Now that Zaiden had marked Selena, she should be

Andrew couldn't talk to Eros and Psyche in person, so he had to mindlink. Eros could be a real bastard at times, but he loved Psyche and his daughter. Psyche was going to be the hard one. Aglaura and Cidippe had her guarded, but Andrew had his own spy with her. He sat in his room and closed his eyes. He could mindlink Eros and the spy, but it took a lot of energy and concentration. He decided to try Eros first."Eros, can you hear me? It's Andrew." He mindlinked."Yes, I can hear you. What's going on? Is Selena okay?" Eros responded immediately. "She is for now. She's mated to the lycan king, but Aglaura and Cidippe are trying to kill her. They tried to have someone close to Selena poison her, but luckily, their plan was deflected. We know they'll try again." Andrew mindlinked. "Yes, they will. What do you need? Does Selena know who she is?" Eros hadn't wanted her to know because he was scared it would put her in harm's way, but if the evil sisters knew where she was, there

Psyche continued to pretend that she was too depressed to function. Her sisters were up to something, but she wasn't sure exactly what. She had heard about the woman they had watching over Selena and how she had died because of two pups. Psyche had been so happy that those pups saved her daughter. She knew Aglaura and Cidippe were going to try something else before they would have to take care of Selena themselves. Jameson was trying to figure out their plan, but he hadn't found anything so far. Psyche wanted to talk to Eros, but it was risky. If anyone found out, they would both be dead. Her sisters were only happy when making others miserable or ruining their lives. If they were successful in killing Selena, they would rub it in her face but play it off as though it was best for her so she could move on. Jameson walked into the room and looked at Psyche anxiously. He had some information for her but no real answers. "Where are they?" She asked quietly. Jameson held his finge
