Chapter 11 It's All a Misunderstanding

Selene's P.O.VJust then, a sharply dressed man with a commanding presence strode quickly toward us.I'd seen him at the banquet before. He was Felix Linden, Nyctilux Pack's Beta.He clearly noticed the earlier confrontation. Speaking to Malcolm in a firm, businesslike tone laced with authority, he said, "Sir, please be mindful of the setting. The top floor is reserved by the Nyctilux Pack tonight. Mr. Lancaster is entertaining important guests and doesn't wish to be disturbed."Malcolm's expression immediately changed. He clearly recognized the Beta's status and the power backing him.He immediately let go of my wrist, a slightly embarrassed, overly polite smile spreading across his face. He hurried to explain, "I-It's just a misunderstanding! I am Malcolm Sullivan, Alpha of the Blackridge Pack. I've long admired Mr. Lancaster and came specifically tonight hoping to discuss a potential collaboration."Desperate to salvage his dignity, he quickly tried to put the blame on me as h

Chapter 12 Kicking Malcolm Out

Selene's P.O.VChristina's eyes flickered with a hint of triumph, though her face wore an exaggeratedly anxious expression. Her voice trembled with a fake, pleading tone. "Selene, just lower your head! I'm begging you! Being kicked out in front of everyone is so humiliating! Can't you just apologize so we can leave quietly?"Malcolm's face darkened, a cold snort of arrogant disdain escaping him. "Selene, I gave you your chance. You chose to shame yourself, and now look at this mess. You deserve this. Don't expect me to beg for you."I frowned in irritation. Things were already awkward with Blake after that night we spent together, and if these two caused more trouble now, it could affect the delicate balance between our packs.I was still thinking of a way to get rid of them without drawing Blake's attention when Felix spoke.His voice was calm, authoritative. He gestured toward Malcolm and Christina with his hand, silently signaling the bodyguards. "Remove them."The sudden shif

Chapter 13 An Alliance with Blake

Selene's P.O.VI didn't feel much satisfaction as I watched Malcolm and Christina being ushered out under Felix's ruthless command, just a wave of annoyance. I rubbed my wrist and finally let out a small sigh. Peace at last."Ms. Kingsley, I hope that little disturbance didn't startle you," Felix said, bowing slightly, his tone calm and measured. "I hope it won't affect your meal."I shook my head. "It's fine. Thank you for handling that."He nodded, but then added, "Mr. Lancaster would like to invite you to dinner. May we have the honor of your company, Ms. Kingsley?"I froze. Blake? He was here too? And he was inviting me to dinner?I instinctively glanced toward the secluded area of the restaurant, separated from the rest of the dining room. "Mr. Lancaster? But isn't he entertaining guests tonight? I don't want to intrude."A faint smile touched Felix's lips. "Ms. Kingsley, the distinguished guest Mr. Lancaster is entertaining tonight... is you.""Me?" I blinked in surpris

Chapter 14 Blake's Thoughtfulness

Selene's P.O.VBlake's lips curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, but his eyes remained deep and unreadable."We are both Alphas. As leaders of our packs, strength alone isn't enough. We need the right mate to grow our packs together and secure our influence."His tone was calm, almost cold. "You understand the weight of this pressure too, don't you?"He paused, his gaze lingering on my face before he went on, still sounding like he was weighing pros and cons."I've been pushed by the elders for years. And now that you've come back, I imagine your own pressures will only increase. You need someone strong enough to help you hold your ground. And I happen to need someone like you, a mate whose status and abilities match mine. And most importantly..."He leaned in slightly, his voice dropping, carrying a strange pull."I don't mind you. In fact, I think we fit... really well. We both get what we need. Isn't that the most straightforward, effective solution?"So, that wa

Chapter 15 Tension

Selene's P.O.V"Mr. Lancaster, how did you—" I couldn't help the words slipping out, a strange flutter of emotion stirring deep inside me.Blake lifted a napkin to dab at the corner of his mouth, his movements smooth and casual, as if it were nothing. "Aria mentioned it once. She said when you were little, you were always greedy for treats. Once you bit into a slice of mango cake and almost ended up in the hospital. She was terrified."Ah, Aria. That explained it. The strange flutter in my chest eased slightly.Of course. Aria and I had grown up together and shared everything. It wasn't unusual for her to casually recount embarrassing stories about me at home. And given how much Blake cared for his sister, it made sense he'd remember.I just hadn't expected him to have such a sharp memory... or to actually hold onto these little details."I see," I said with a small smile, hiding the brief surprise that had caught me off guard.The server quickly swapped in another juice, and th

Chapter 16 Who'd Want You as Their Luna?

Selene's P.O.VI forced my voice to stay steady. "Sorry. I didn't sit right for a second."Blake drew back his arm as if the strong, steady support from just a moment ago had been nothing but my imagination. His face stayed unreadable, and he only gave a quiet hum before turning his attention back to the window. From the side, his face was cold and calm, showing no hint of emotion.I let out a quiet sigh of relief, though I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the rumors. People loved talking about Blake. The most popular rumor was that he lived like a monk. Some even whispered he wasn't interested in she-wolves at all.If I hadn't experienced the way he had claimed me with almost brutal intensity that night, I might have believed them too.This man was terrifyingly controlled.Maybe that was why he had become the strongest Alpha the Nyctilux Pack had seen in years. Strength aside, his entire business empire kept expanding, swallowing up the weaker packs around us. If he were the ty

Chapter 17 Registering with Blake

Selene's P.O.VI looked at Natalie sharply, fully aware of why she was so intent on targeting me. Her future mate had once nearly been my arranged match. But in the end, he hooked up with her and became her future mate instead.This had always been a thorn in her heart, the reason she felt both inexplicably superior and deeply uneasy whenever she faced me."You don't need to worry about me." My voice stayed calm, even gentle, almost pitying. "If you have the time to throw shade at me, maybe spend it keeping an eye on your fiancé instead. Word is he has so many side lovers he can't count them on both hands. Pray he doesn't bring home something nasty one day and drag you down too. That would be the real disaster, to lose both your husband and the pack's honor.""Selene! What nonsense are you talking about!" Natalie's face flushed bright red. Her usual poise disappeared, replaced by frustration. "Do you really think slandering him like this makes you look any better?""You know the t

Chapter 18 Blake's Trust

Selene's P.O.VI opened the dark blue velvet box just as he asked. Inside, a ring rested on the black lining.The band was a deep silver metal, carved with intricate, old vine patterns that curled around a central stone. The gem glowed with a soft, silvery-white light, almost as if moonlight were flowing slowly within it. It felt cool and smooth to the touch, yet radiated a gentle, powerful energy beneath its serene surface.Was this... a moonstone?My eyes widened.But not just any moonstone. This was the symbol worn by every Luna of the Nyctilux Pack through its generations. It was more than rare. It represented authority, status, and the undeniable acknowledgment of a Luna's place.I never expected Blake to give it to me.Our bond began as a contract. I thought we were doing nothing more than signing paperwork, maybe holding a token ceremony for appearances. I never imagined he would place something this significant in my hands."Try it on," Blake said from beside me, his vo

Chapter 19 An Alpha's Responsibility

Selene's P.O.VBlake didn't seem bothered at all and calmly said, "You're my Luna now. Whatever you choose to do, you'll have your reasons. I trust your judgment."His answer settled something inside me, easing a thread of uncertainty I hadn't realized was still tugging at me.That effortless trust, given without hesitation, warmed me in a way I wasn't prepared for. Maybe this alliance built on practicality wasn't as cold as I once imagined.I opened my mouth to say something more, but a familiar pulse tugged at my consciousness. My mother was reaching out to me through the mind link.The mind link carried an urgent insistence I couldn't ignore. I stiffened and said to Blake, "My mother is trying to reach me. Something's wrong. I need to go home. Once I've taken care of it, I'll move to... our new place as soon as possible.""Alright." Blake nodded, calm as always. "I'll be home when you return."I nodded. Without wasting any more time, I turned and left the Lunar Union Hall,

Chapter 20 Vesta Group

Selene's P.O.VI opened the file and found detailed information on a company called the Vesta Group. The group was huge, involved in energy, tech, real estate, and more, with influence that reached far and wide. Its influence ran deep, the kind of deep that made people nervous. And just recently, it underwent a major shake-up. The entire upper management had been replaced, and a new person had taken control of the group. The new owner's identity was shrouded in mystery, and almost nothing was known about them outside the company.What caught my attention most was their newest flagship project. Vesta Group planned to build a massive, high-end hot spring resort exclusively for werewolves.The file included early concept designs and a market report. If the project succeeded, it would generate a fortune on its own, but that wasn't what mattered. This place could reshape the entire region's economy and shift the balance of power between packs.The last page of the file was my mother
