Chapter one

Selena's POV Five years, that's how long I'd been working in the palace. The list of things I had been through was endless even though I absolutely loved my job as an assistant caretaker, but we were only going to make do of the ones I could remember at the moment.And the most important of it all, five years of loving Zevran Storm.Today was the day, the day of the mating ceremony and to say I was eager had to be the biggest understatement.While the palace had been decorated with more than enough flair and extravagance, my dress was a huge contrast to it all. It wasn't expensive, and in a way, it wasn't mine either. I'd borrowed it from one of the maids who owed me a small favor and maybe an organ or two.I snuck a glance at the palace grounds one more time. I was desperate for anything that could calm my racing heart down. It was skipping like a child high on sugar, and if I didn't stop, I wouldn't be surprised if I suffered a stroke next.This was it. Zevran loved me, I was sure

Chapter 2

Selena's POV I didn't cry. I couldn't, and especially not in front of them. I didn't cry in front of Hermione and her fake pendant, I didn't cry in front of Zevran either, who'd willingly tossed me away like yesterday's leftovers. I still didn't cry when the guards shoved me onto the street like I was a stray dog who'd walked in and destroyed the beta's favorite portrait.I didn't cry, but it still didn't mean I didn't want to.I forced myself to my feet, after forcing myself to swallow the emotions that threatened to spill across my face. Luckily, the trip to the hospital didn't take as long as I thought it would. The hospital smelled like herbs, disinfectant and heartbreak, one of the world's deadliest combinations if you asked me.“You're here!” Eleanor sprung up in her bed the moment I entered into her room. Her face lit up in an instant, and I didn't miss the excitement coating her voice. “I thought you'd be busy with the mating ceremony? Tell me, tell me. Did he announce you?

Chapter 3

Cassian’s POV The moment the little voice echoed in the corridor, the palace stilled. I'd lived here for years, but in all my life, I wasn't sure I'd heard such silence before.“Mummy?” She called out again, and my heart paused. It wasn't out of fear or awe, but in disbelief.I turned my head slowly. There was no way I could believe it just like that. My eyes narrowed as I followed the voice that didn't belong to any maid or servant in the entire palace.It belonged to my daughter, and she'd just spoken.“That's her.” The young woman's voice broke through my thoughts. It was aggravating to listen to, but I had other things to worry about. She was breathless and I didn't miss the relief that washed over her. “She's the one who led me to your room.”My gaze flickered to Sisi at her words. My Sisi. She was really out of her room, she was out in public and wasn't trembling or shaking. And she was speaking. Really speakingThere was no way this was possible. This had to be a trick.“Sisi

Chapter 4

SELENA'S POV Sitting in the bottom part of the cell where the most notorious were being kept I played with the chains bound to my feet and sang as the shackles clanged to themselves. Eleanor wouldn't know what has happened to me while trying to make ends meet for the two of us and that is what matters most to me. In my heart I made silent prayers to the moon goddess just maybe she would come to my rescue this time. My back resting on the faded walls. Just then I heard the rustling of keys on the lock from the prison gates. The wailing from the other prisoners didn't give me a chance to listen to the steps to know exactly where they were headed until I saw the large pair of boots peering through the under door of the cell I was locked in. My heart began to race fast and in no time the iron door snapped open to reveal the two hefty guards standing before me. They both didn't say a word as they walked in, they searched my face for a while before taking off the chains on my legs. They h

Chapter 5

SELENA’S POV My countenance fell, broken and humiliated. I stood watching him with tears welling up in my eyes. He didn't bulge one bit instead he squared his shoulders proudly and sat on the single sofa beside me. “You know you don't have to speak low of me all the time. I am poor, yes. I know that but you don't have to rub it on my face all the time”. “Well, that is what you are and that is exactly what you are”. He snarled, as if dark and shady. I sulked in the last tears as my chest swelled with anger and frustration. Every single thought and image of him reminds me of Zevran. I hated Zevran with all my heart and right now If I got the chance to hurt him I would gladly do it. I blinked, steadying myself a bit. After a long pause he cleared his throat and continued. “Your job is simple. Live with me in my room and act as my Luna. And you would help with my daughter's Luna bonding. Everything will be on contract no strings strictly business”. His lips tweaked as he said this. I

Chapter 6

SELENA’S POV The moment Eleanor ended the call I broke down in tears. I just couldn’t control the stream as it kissed hot on my cheeks. I got into the house and sat on the bed crying. This load is too much for me and if so pleases the moon goddess she should please take it away from my shoulders. Just about an hour ago, I almost lost my life because the alpha hated my guts and here I am drowning in my own incapability. With a heavy heart I curled myself up on the bed and sobbed myself to sleep.. I don’t know how long I had slept until Belinda’s voice woke me. “Hey girl, why are you cramping yourself on the couch when you can easily have a good sleep in the room?”. She brushed her hands over my neck and my chin to be sure I was fine. “Selena you are burning up. C’mon”. She beat my things gently until I woke up. “Girl what’s happening you’re burning up I need to get you some pain killers okay’, she rushed into the room and came back with a small box containing some approved pain kil

Chapter 7

SELENA'S POV Belinda's voice rang in my head all through the night. I couldn't imagine not sending my only sister to the school she so desires. I couldn't go there since my half human half wolf identity had deprived me of so many privileges. Rustling out of the bed I shared with Belinda I headed into the kitchen to make ourselves coffee for the morning. It was quite early and Belinda was still in bed, tired from the previous day's work at the factory. As I approached the kitchen on the left from the hallway my heart pondered on what to do next and prayed if the offer was still open. Alpha Cassian wasn't a man to jolt and return to expecting to be accepted. I walked through the corridor heading to the kitchen, my footsteps echoing off the walls with each step I took. On push on the kitchen door and it creaked open like a tin of condensed milk. On the side of the wall I stretched my hands and flipped the switch, it produced a sound akin to a finger snap and the overhead lights came f

Chapter 8

SELENA'S POV “I'm sorry”. I managed to plead not because I was sorry but because I didn't want him to be too upset with me. “Dad, my mom is here”. Sisi said, brushing off the stray hair from my face. He looked at me with suspicion in his eyes then back to his child with awe. A fake smile spread across his face to make his daughter happy. “You need to tell me why you are here, as you can see I am about to go out. Sisi and I”. He informed me coldly. “I will take the offer”. I didn't hesitate to say the words and to state the reason I have shown up so early. He grazed my soul with his eyes from the crown on my head to my feet like I was some piece of shit. His nose and how his eye brows arched to a side gave me the answers that I needed to get. “You think you can just show up here and want something? Look, this is my pack and decide how things are done here, not you”. He took some steps closer, shortening the distance between us. “I need the job please. I really need this job”. My

Chapter 9

CASSIAN'S POV I hated the audacity she wore over herself like a demi god. No one dares to stare me in the eyes, however this estranged lady does. Her name means nothing to me and I didn't care where she was from as long as my daughter was fine and she would do her job as I expect of her. Having her stay in my room was all Conrad's idea and I hated it. The first night she helped put Sisi to sleep before she returned to her home. This morning Conrad and I were on the balcony discussing pressing pack political matters when she arrived. “Wow look who we have here”. Conrad's smile reeved of scorn and victory. His eyes dilated as he pointed to Selena with his nose. “Your contract Luna is here. Take a look”. He told me as though this whole charade wasn't planned by him. I eyeballed him pretending to hear what he just said.. “Cassian, this lady is just the perfect plan for this. Your baby mama is going to make me really jealous of you when Adeline and I are done”. I shot him a knowin

Chapter 10

SELENA'S POV As his voice The large bed sat in the center of the large room as I got in with Conrad leading the way showing me around the house in my new dress. “This is one of the free master suites. But the king prefers the other one. He can be a little bit cranky but trust me it's not not something you can't handle”. He told me. And truly right now I just didn't care about what he thinks about me. All the derogatory things she had said to me and the name he had branded me I just don't give a hoot about any of them. The main goal is to make a good living out of the deal and to make sure my sister gets that training for the academy. His cranky attitude and arrogance was something I was ten times ready to shove under the carpet. “Thank you”. I told him with a bow. “It's Conrad. My name is Conrad” he reminded me. Of course I have heard Cassian call him by that name a couple of times since I got here and I could tell even he was trying his best to cope with his friend's arrogance.
