Semua Bab The Rejected Luna，The Hidden Heiress: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Selene's POV Before I could fully process Victor's words or even try to catch my breath, he let go of Camilla’s hand and started to walk towards me.The sound of his shoes against the polished floor echoed louder than anything else in the room. My heart slammed painfully in my chest as he came closer.He was close enough that I could smell him. That familiar scent of cedarwood, earth, and a hint of something sharp beneath overwhelmed me. It wrapped around me, stirring up memories I had no business holding onto.My lungs forgot how to work. My fingers curled into fists at my sides, desperate to hold myself together.Victor stopped in front of me, towering over me, so tall and strong it felt like he sucked the air right out of the space between us.His eyes locked onto mine. Dark. Unreadable.For a second, I forgot everything—where we were, who was watching. I just stood there, my entire body humming, burning, waiting for something that would never come.Then, he broke the silence.And

Selene's POVVictor was standing in front of me, his eyes colder than I had ever seen them. His voice was sharp, like broken glass. “I found her,” he said. “My fated mate. You were never meant for me, Selene. I don’t love you. I never did.”I tried to scream, but nothing came out. My mouth opened, but my voice betrayed me. I reached for him, but he stepped back, his eyes like steel, his hand wrapped around Camilla’s waist.Then I woke up.I gasped and sat up in bed, my skin damp with sweat. My heart slammed against my chest like it wanted out as I looked around the room, trying to remember where I was. The nightmare felt so real, like it had just happened.But I wasn’t in that mansion. I wasn’t standing in front of Victor. I was back in my old room. At home.The silk sheets wrapped around me smelled like lavender and sunlight. The pale gold curtains moved gently with the breeze from the open window. I could see the mountain tops from here, the ones that touched the clouds.I was safe.

Victor's POV "I hope you have a happy life with Camilla.”With that, the line went dead.For a while, I didn’t move. I just stood there, holding the phone to my ear like her voice still lived inside it. Like if I waited long enough, maybe she would call back. Maybe she didn’t mean it.But deep down, I knew she did.Selene had accepted my rejection. Not with hesitation. Not with a tearful plea.No. She accepted it like she had been waiting for that moment. Like she had nothing left to lose.Slowly I lowered the phone from my ear. My hand trembled, just slightly, but I noticed it. The silence in the room felt louder than anything I had ever heard.I had actually said the words to hurt her. I thought it would give me control again. I thought once the bond was broken, I would finally feel free. I thought being with Camilla, without guilt or ties, would bring me peace.Instead, all I felt was… nothing.And that nothing was the heaviest thing I had ever carried.The door opened behind me,

Selene's POV The man didn’t answer my question. He just smiled, gave a small nod, and turned around like I hadn’t spoken at all. His footsteps were quiet, calm, almost too smooth as he walked away and disappeared into the crowd.I stood frozen, watching as he walked away. Something about him didn’t feel normal. It wasn’t just the confidence. It was something deeper… something hidden. There was a mystery wrapped around him like a second skin.“Who the hell is he?” I thought to myself.In that moment, a strange chill ran down my spine. And then I felt Lisa, my wolf. She didn’t growl, didn’t speak, but she just stirred. Restless. Alert.“You felt that too, didn't you?” I whispered inside.She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she just paced. Long, slow circles in the back of my mind. Her ears perked. Her nose raised like she was still sniffing the air, trying to place his scent.“What is it? What’s wrong?”“Something is off about him, Selene.” Her voice was low, suspicious. “I'm sure h

Selene's POVVanessa scoffed like I had just said something stupid. “That’s all you can say? Really? You should be on your knees right now, begging for forgiveness.”Her voice echoed through the hall. It wasn’t loud, but it was sharp, full of hate, and it cut through the music. In that moment, people started turning their heads. I could feel the change in the air. Eyes began to settle on us. Whispers floated through the room, soft at first… then louder.“What’s going on?”“Is she a thief?”I heard everything, every word, but I stayed calm.Melissa stood next to me, stiff with rage. Her hand was curled into a fist, and her lips were pressed into a tight line. She was seconds away from snapping.But I reached out and touched her arm.“I’ve got this,” I said softly.I then stepped forward, closing the space between me and Vanessa.She stood tall, acting like a queen. Camilla stood behind her, quiet, eyes darting everywhere like she wanted to vanish into the floor.I looked Vanessa in th
