All Chapters of The Alpha's Scorned Mate : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Selene “It’s useless,” I said, shoving the cutlery off the table. It fell to the ground with a loud clang. “Lucinda was right. I don’t belong here.” I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest. My mother immediately bent down to pick up the silver forks. “Selene,” she said sympathetically. “It just takes time.” “Time?” I said haughtily. “They’re just forks, for crying out loud. Who cares which one you eat a salad with? Do these people have nothing better to do than make up different forks for different foods?” My mother tried to calm me down, but I was pretty worked up. Since refusing Jax for the second time and giving him my ultimatum—accept me or no sex—I hadn’t seen him. I mean, I’d seen him, technically. We passed each other a few times in the hallway, and I saw him walking in the garden, but we hadn’t talked. He was true to his word. He hadn’t asked for me, not even once, which left me to my own devices. The only problem was that I was surrounded by royalty and wolves raise

Jax When I’d awoken this morning with Selene by my side, I felt happier than I ever remembered feeling. She’d still been fast asleep, one of her legs tossed over mine, her breath hot on my neck. Gently, I’d peeled her off me and rolled her onto her back. I wanted to look at her. It had been early, barely past sunrise, and the morning light filtered through the window. She mewed as I turned her. For a moment, I was afraid she’d wake up. But instead, she flopped her head to the side, still fast asleep. She was beautiful, with flawless porcelain skin. I resisted the urge to reach out and caress her cheek. I wanted to touch her, to feel her, to kiss every inch of her body. I grew hard just thinking about it. My mind flashed back to the memory of the night before, beside the lake in the sand. She’d given herself to me so completely. I’d done my best to be as gentle as I could. It was all unfamiliar to her, and I didn’t want to hurt her. I’d barely been able to restrain myself, though.

SeleneMy sisters stood out like sore thumbs in the foyer. Each clutched a plastic bag full of clothes. Suze held a ragged, dirty doll in her hand. The doll’s head had come partially unstitched, drooping to the side.I rushed down the stairs to greet them. Lucinda and her entourage stood off the corner, whispering behind their hands. Several maids waited for further instruction while guards stood on either side of the door.“Suze, Brin, Abby!” I called excitedly. In contrast to Lucinda and her friends, my sisters looked pathetic. I could tell they’d done their best to look presentable. Suze’s hair was in pigtails, fastened with a piece of twine. Brin’s hair was brushed but dull and frizzy. Abby had braided her hair, but without anything to tie it with, the braids were coming loose at the ends.Their clothes were thin and dirty, and they emitted a familiar stench: a mix of sweat and unwashed hair. We usually only had water to wash our hair, and shampoo was a luxury saved for only very

She blushed and rolled her eyes. “Enough of this. I’m going to shift.” And without another word, Selene let her wolf loose.Storm howled angrily when he saw Selene shift. He wanted to be in wolf form, too, with Mercury. I let him push up and relaxed my muscles, giving in to him. Moments later, I was locked inside Storm’s massive frame.I loved seeing the world through my wolf’s eyes. Everything was sharper and clearer. Storm shook his head, then rested back onto his hind legs, growling appreciatively at the sight before us.Mercury was stunning, with soft, light gray fur. She was much bigger than I’d expected, which surprised me since Selene had such a slight frame. Her fur was long, and the breeze ruffled it gently, causing it to ripple. Her fur was darker underneath, on her belly, and her ears also had the same deep gray fur.She looked at Storm with intense, crystal-blue eyes. She was the most beautiful wolf I’d ever seen.Storm lunged at her and knocked her over. Both wolves let o

JaxThere has never been a Luna in all the history of Lunas as beautiful as my Selene. She was nervous during the ceremony, but once she was crowned, she seemed to loosen up, and she was lovely during the meet and greet. I couldn’t tell what the other alphas and Lunas thought of her, but honestly, I didn’t care.There was so much good in her. She was strong and opinionated but also compassionate. Over the past few weeks, I saw so many sides to her. She was highly intelligent, and she had no problem speaking her mind. She’d be a good Luna; I just knew it. She would take good care of our pack and our people. She was already coming up with ideas on ways to help strengthen our pack, starting with the slums. She suggested we build a daycare for all the children so their parents can have more opportunities to work. I agreed immediately.I saw the looks during the ceremony, the scathing scowls, the scoffs. But I also saw the hope in the eyes of those from the slums. They looked at her with s
