Selena's POV“You know,” he said with a bright smile, gesturing for upstairs where I shared an apartment with Stella. “I could come up and cook for you. I’d make my special risotto, just for you.” I forced a smile, hoping to hide my annoyance at my inability to get rid of men. But before I could refuse him he continued: “Come on! I know you love it.”He was being playful and friendly. And for a second I wondered if I was just reading too much into it. If maybe Rain’s words had turned me against my coworkers in letting that small seed of doubt find roots in my mind. No, I didn’t like Brian’s constant physical affection, but it was just how he was – or so the others told me.Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to let him cook for me?But the second I thought of him inside of my apartment, chills ran down my spine. I didn’t want Brian inside. Hell, I just wanted to be left

Selena’s POVFor a split second, he froze just as I did. Shock and some other emotions washed over me, as I could hardly believe what I was seeing. Gone was the ever-grinning playful co-worker who loved to hang off every woman at work. And instead, I was faced with something dark. Something that didn’t really see me but rather looked at me as if I was some sort of object…As if I wasn’t even human!Then suddenly his eyes went wide as he took me in. And at that moment, I realized that this was the first time he saw the real me. I never slept with Stella’s magic talisman since I didn’t have anything to hide from her.Which right now was buying me time...“Ew,” he sneered with a disgusted grimace and recoiled as his eyes flickered downwards to my protruding stomach. “You’re pregnant?!”He said it was like I’d committed a crime or somethin

Selena’s POVPain flared in my chest and my head suddenly pounded like a drum. Darkness swam at the edge of my vision and I suddenly felt dizzy. Somewhere far away an alarm went off and the machine next to me started blaring. My pulse started to buzz in my ear and my heart felt as if it was trying to break free of my chest.“NURSE!” Rain bellowed next to me, just as I doubled over in pain. I couldn’t breathe, and I hated that I was once again relying on Rain to get me help...“Rain?”Someone called out, and I immediately recognized Elijah’s voice.“Get a fucking nurse! She’s sick,” Rain snapped--- and came around to gently pat my back, sending currents of calming sparks throughout my body. “Breathe, my Azure. Remember to breathe.”I wanted to yell at him again. Tell him I wasn’t “his Azure”, but I felt too sick to do so. Bile rose and,

Selena’s POV“I’ve only ever slept with one woman my entire life and you’re her,” Rain snapped at me, his voice sending shivers down my spine. “I’m not interested in anyone else and I’ll keep repeating it to you until it penetrates your fucking skull!”His words left me utterly flabbergasted, spinning around in my mind over and over again, like a carousel. A part of me wished it were true. That this could explain everything and I could finally heal from my pain.The easy way…But nothing in life was ever easy. And I had to keep my emotions out of this. Emotions had no place in making choices that would affect my child. I had to rely on myself. On my experiences and on the fact that I had to see past people’s words. It was the actions and patterns that spoke to their characters. And Rain---I could never believe him!He could as easily lie ab

***Flashback***Seven months ago...Rain's POVI stormed into the throne room, making everyone snap to attention. The chatter instantly died down; some of the wolves who knew me well were smart enough to shrink back. My thunderous expression rarely left anything in its wake other than blood and bodies...“Did I?” I thundered, jumping onto the high rise where my throne stood, and spun to face my pack along with the many representatives from other packs that always milled about at the castle. “Or did I not declare to everyone under my command that Selena Throme was not to be harmed in any way?”The room fell deadly silent. Those who knew me well kept their mouth shut and heads low, not willing to risk having my claws sink into them. All the other idiots, however, looked to each other with confused expressions, wondering what I was talking about.Then, one brave
