Selene’s POVI’m staring at the ceiling. The hardness of the floor I feel on my back informs me that I have fallen.Someone released a piercing scream filled with agony. I then realized the sound came from my throat. Diana was howling in the back of my head.It felt as if shards of glass were sawing into my chest to get at the mate bond that was unwilling to break.I was on the floor, writhing and screaming in pain, begging the Moon Goddess for death.Out of the corner of my eye, I see Hunter keeled over but still standing, feeling the same pain as me, but only grunts escaped from him. When I felt the mate chords finally rip, I began to breathe again, finding the rhythm to slow my racing heart.After what felt like eternity, I slowly stood up to face the mate who betrayed me.“Why?!” I croaked, my throat sore from my screams. All around was noise from the pack, wondering why their Alpha rejected his fated mate and Luna.Hunter glared at me with contempt.“You know why,” was his respon

Hunter’s POV“WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE!” I yelled in the room. My Gamma instinctively bared his neck in submission -understanding he’s failing me.“Her trail ends at the bottom of the driveway,” is all he says.The news of Selene’s escape came early, when I was sleeping soundly with Sandy in my arms. My mind-link was shut, so my Gamma resorted to pounding on my bedroom door. I instantly woke, believing we were being attacked, and forgot my chosen mate.Once my Gamma explained the situation, I was instantly mind-linking the commanders of my patrols to hunt her down and bring her back.A few hours later, with the best pack hunters on the scent, this was the only intel I received?!No!“I know who helped her,” Sandy simply stated. “Alpha Damen.”“Why the fuck would a powerful Alpha help a wolf-less nobody?” I snorted.“While you were away for five years, Selene and Alpha Damen became friends,” Sandy explains. “Your parents wanted her presence at all diplomatic meetings to prepare her for th

Selene’s POVONE YEAR LATERTime flies when you’re having fun is the saying. And for the Rogue Moon Pack, a year felt like a dream.With the money the witch gave me, I took the pack to a human city where we created Rogue Corp and invested in many human endeavors.We gave small businesses or startups the capital to grow and create where the opportunity was otherwise slammed shut. I never took unnecessary risks, though. Our clients were deeply vetted before we approved their proposals.And the payoff was immense.What was once a one-floor corporation turned into a multi-story building.I even found an abandoned castle in acres of forest near the city. With the investment returns pouring in, I slowly revitalized and upgraded the castle, making it livable for the pack.Many rogues who pledged loyalty to me were exiled for minor offenses and had many hidden talents. I never had to call a human contractor to have things fixed or upgraded, and my wolves were content because I paid them more

Selene’s POVHunter’s words hit me like a punch in the gut. The irony of the situation is not lost on me. His wolf suspects it’s me, his fated mate, but the man is so lost in his hatred for me that he can’t see the forest from the trees!If only he gave me a chance as Selene!Diana has been content this whole time, practically yipping with glee that she’s near the mate who rejected us and caused us so much pain. The animal has a very short memory. Good thing I don’t!The salad arrived, and I was glad of the interruption. My stomach was a bundle of nerves, and I needed food to settle it. Another cocktail was immediately placed as my empty glass was taken away.I was highly grateful for having a shifter metabolism because one drink of the delicious poison would have knocked me on my ass if I were human. I was beginning to have a buzz, and the tension in my body was fading away.I ate and drank slowly to avoid conversation and to enjoy the meal. The salad dressing was excellent, and I wa

Hunter’s POV“Why have you been so distant lately, my Alpha?” Sandy purred in my ear.I ground my jaw; the sound of her voice is a fucking irritation. I thought going clubbing with her tonight would ease the constant need to be around Sophia. My kissing the stubborn Beta ignited something inside me, making me almost regret the kiss.Almost.” We want her!”Morpheus happily yipped.I took another drag from my drink, the smooth scotch burning down in my throat. Sandy kept talking about the upcoming Mating and Luna Ceremony. I kept pushing it back, finding excuses not to mark and mate her for the past year. But time wasn’t on my side, and the pack wanted a Luna. I finally allowed her to set a date, and I put all the planning into her care.I couldn’t care less about the fucking color scheme and flower types!I nodded my head as a response, letting Sandy drone on about her ideal perfect mating ceremony, as I watched the crowded dance floor in the VIPs part like the Dead Sea.And in the mid
