SELENA"I've been waiting. It's nice you're finally here, Selena." Nick's excited voice rang as he approached. He stood before me and bent forward. The smile on his face faded, and his golden eyes flickered with worry. "You cried." He pointed out. My brows shifted. I quickly turned my head away and tried to smile. "Something entered my eyes." I lied. "Selena..." Nick called. His tone was strained. "I believe you know you can tell me anything, right?" My heart lurched as I turned to face him. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I blinked them back. "You are always here, right?" I found myself asking. The desperation in my heart piqued at that moment. Nick's brow raised. He straightened up and took my hand in his. "I'm always here, Selena. Every time and always." He assured. My lips pursed. The heaviness in my chest seemed to loosen slightly as tears rolled down my face. "Then, I'm not alone," I whispered and swooped into his embrace. Nick was here with me. He would always be ther

SELENEI lowered my head, unable to think as Selena walked away from the royal dining room. My heart pounded. It ached terribly, but I was confused. What was I supposed to do?I couldn't confess at the moment, or my life would be endangered. Even when I saw the despair in Selena's eyes, I still couldn't bring myself to say the truth. Why? I was scared of death. But was that truly the only reason? Even I couldn't answer that question. My chest tightened with guilt. This was unfair to Selena. She didn't deserve any of the things I was doing to her. I glanced at Beta Nick and saw him looking at me with tenderness in his eyes. My body trembled. The look wasn't meant for me. No, I knew the one he liked was Selena, not me. He mistook me for Selena, but even though I knew this, my heart still fluttered at his smile. Selena's world was filled with light. The moon goddess had blessed her so much that everything around her screamed: perfection. Not only did the Alphas choose her,

SELENA"How did you do it? No one has ever recognized me..." I asked reluctantly. Honestly, I was scared. My heart couldn't help but race violently as I asked the question. What if he said he had simply guessed? What if he didn't truly recognize me but only said the name that came to his mind?Then, I would be too heartbroken to think. I doubt I would be able to accept that. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips into a thin line. "You don't have to answer," I mumbled. Yes, if I had no idea what the answer was, that would at least help me maintain the illusion that he truly did recognize me. That was enough. It might be a lie, but it was enough... for me. "I don't know how, trust me." His deep voice broke through my thoughts, and I glanced at him with a questioning brow. What did he mean? His usually bright silver eyes glowed with gloominess, and his mood seemed to plummet. "I used to have identical twin sisters. They were so adorable... especially the stronger one." He muttered

SELENA "Come back with me."Alpha Raviel coldly said. My brows creased. Return with him? Why would I do that?With the look in his eyes, it was obvious he still had the idea that I was Selene, so why was he so certain I would go back with him?"I'm not." I found myself blurting out. The earlier fear had completely dissipated, and all I felt at the moment was anger toward the Alpha that should have been mine but instead took another as me. My lips pulled up in a smirk. "Why should I go back with you? As Alpha Drake said, you should tell him the price for my freedom, and I will gladly be his Luna." I snapped. My heart raced. Not with fear but an emotion I couldn't explain. Speaking with Alpha Raviel this way was something I would have never imagined, even in my wildest dreams, but what was strange was that, even after acting this way to him, there was no fear of death in my heart. All I felt was the relief of finally saying something back at him. Something other than plain subm

SELENAI felt Nick staring at me, and my eyes slowly wandered to him. Our eyes met, and confusion flickered across his eyes. I rolled my eyes and turned away. "I'm not going back." I decided to say before any of the Alphas would try to convince me. They were no longer my home. At my word, Selene slumped on the ground. She hugged her knees and sobbed loudly. "I can't live without you, sister. I don't want to live without you." She mumbled as she cried. My heart turned even colder. Even at this point, Selene still didn't want to call out my name. She still held on to the identity she had stolen, and she expected me to forgive her?She was too selfish. She wasn't the sister I used to know. And I wouldn't return for her. I nudged Alpha Drake and raised my head to look at him. "Now that the Alphas are complete. Maybe you should talk about buying my freedom again or what do you think?" Alpha Drake smiled. He nodded calmly. "Okay. I will follow your order." He replied. My lips cu
