Chapter 1

Selene's POV Some silences don’t feel empty.Some silences scream.That was the kind of silence I lived with in this house—a thick, heavy thing that stuck to my skin, wrapped around my throat, and pressed down on my chest until breathing felt like a chore.It had been three years. Three endless years since Victor found Camilla. His fated mate.Three years since I learned how to become invisible in my own marriage. How to move without being seen, how to speak without being heard. I was still Luna, yes. On paper. A title. A placeholder. But inside, I felt empty. I was like a shell wearing a crown that was too heavy, a crown that pinched and bruised, weighing me down until my spine wanted to snap.I told myself that I could survive it. That silence couldn't kill me. But I was wrong.Because nothing—not the sleepless nights, not Victor’s cold eyes, not the whispered gossip—prepared me for the moment his mother, Helena, looked me in the eye and told me to fall on my sword.Helena’s estat

Chapter 2

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

Chapter 3

Victor's POV Surprisingly, Selene didn't flinch or blink, just stood tall with her chin held high and her eyes like steel.I took a step forward, my voice tightening. “I asked you a question.”Still nothing. It was like something inside her had snapped, but instead of breaking, she hardened.I had expected her to drop her eyes, to back down like she always did. To remember who she was speaking to. But she didn’t.Instead, she met my gaze, her eyes burning with something cold. And when she finally spoke, her voice was like ice.“From now on, I’ll do whatever I want, Victor.”Then, without waiting for anyone’s response, she turned on her heel and walked out of the room like she owned it.For a second, I just stood there, not knowing what to do or say.Then, like clockwork, my mother’s voice exploded.“That ungrateful girl! How dare she walk away like that after everything this family has done for her…!”“Enough,” I snapped, cutting her off so fast she jolted. My head pounded, my jaw ti

Chapter 4

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.

Chapter 5

Selene's POV The room was quiet again. After my father’s stormy exit and Ethan’s soft smile, I was finally alone.My hair was still damp at the ends from the bath earlier, and my skin smelled like honey and jasmine. It was peaceful… almost too peaceful. That was when I remembered my phone.It was lying face-down on the side table beside a cup of untouched tea. I reached for it, expecting maybe one or two missed calls. But the moment I lit up the screen, my heart skipped.There were 20 missed calls and two text messages.All from the same person.Victor.My fingers tightened around the phone as my thumb hovered, frozen between reading the texts or tossing the phone back down.I should have expected this.With a deep breath, I opened the messages."By Alpha command, you are to return to the pack mansion immediately. You belong to your Alpha, Selene. This is not a request. Alpha Victor Roux.""I’ve given you enough time to throw your silly tantrums. You have to come home."My breath hi

Chapter 6

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,

Chapter 7

Selene's POV The screen lit up with Melissa’s face before I could even sit properly. Her curly brown hair was twisted up in a messy bun, and she was holding a glass of what looked like red wine. Her eyebrows shot up the moment she saw me.“Girl. Don’t even try to hide it,” she said. “I heard everything.”I blinked. “How? I just…”“You ended things with Victor!” she shouted, nearly spilling her drink. “Finally! Oh my goddess, I’ve been waiting for this day since forever.”I groaned. “Please don’t start.”“No, no, no,” she said, pointing her finger at the camera. “You don’t get to shut me down. I watched you cry over that man for years, Selene. Years. While he acted like you were just a piece of decoration standing beside him.”My chest tightened. “Melissa…”“No, listen. I’m throwing you a party. No arguments. A pool party. Big. Loud. Fun. And you know what else?” Her eyes sparkled with mischief. “I’ve got a list of eligible Alphas. Strong. Smart. Some of them can even smile. Can you b

Chapter 8

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

Chapter 9

Selene's POV The yelling grew louder as two guards stepped forward to block the doorway. They were standing tall and firm, arms crossed, eyes fixed straight ahead like statues. Vanessa, however, didn't look like she had any plans of backing down. She started waving an ivory envelope in the air, the sound of her heels echoing loudly on the marble floor as she tried to push her way inside. Her voice was sharp and proud, every word dripping with a sense of entitlement.“Look, I have the invitation right here!” she said sharply. “This invitation was addressed to Alpha Victor and his Luna, and we are here to represent him.”The guards didn’t move an inch.“Miss, the invitation was not addressed to you,” one of them replied, his voice calm but firm. “It was specifically for Alpha Victor and his Luna, no additional guests were listed.”Vanessa looked clearly offended. “She is the Luna! She’s here on the Alpha’s behalf. That should be enough.”I tensed up.It was only at that moment that I

Chapter 10

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
