All Chapters of The Alpha's Bodyguard : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

SELENA'S P.O.V I looked around the guards, my chest tightening. I couldn't tell him the truth. I couldn't lie to him. Because the man standing there wasn't the same as the man who I had helped into a bath, who had watched me strip, who had kissed me and laughed about the string of saliva between us.This was the man who had rejected me for Sylvia, and deep down, I knew that if I lied... if I made him think that I was covering something between Alan and I, he wouldn't hesitate."I don't intend to lie," I said, biting down on my lower lip. "I went out of the palace without permission from anyone."For a long second, Alpha Cole just watched me, smoke wafting up from the cigarette he was holding.He didn't even smoke."Go on."I swallowed. "I went to the omega settlement. Sarah, the mother of the man who you almost gave the public execution to, sent me a letter about her niece. Her niece was down with a cold, but since he didn't have any money for treatment, she asked me to see if I coul

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I stepped out of the car, pushing the gun under my shirt, my brows furrowed. I closed the door of the car and glanced back at Selena once.She was still sitting there, looking like she couldn't believe the things I had just said to her.But I meant it. She was infuriating, especially now, stubborn as a fucking mule, and still a pretty ass. Especially in that dress.They weren't exactly mutually exclusive facts, and I have never met someone so contrasting anyway."Alpha," Evan said, walking back to me.I could see the guards I was carrying with me standing in a line in front."Are we outnumbered?""There are at least fifty. We are a total of eight, including you and Selena. I am trying to mindlink some of the assassins, but...""What exactly are they?""Rogues. They have the Moon clan tattoo," he said, falling into step next to me. "Some of them have shifted already and are barely listening so there is that.""Oh well," I said, approaching the front. I hadn't dresse

SELENA'S P.O.V I leaned back against the door as I closed it, my fingers clenched tight. What the hell was wrong with me?So much. I hated him for calling me a liar. I wanted to own him like I told Davina, and somehow, I was still insanely jealous of a woman I had killed with my own hands.I bit down on my lips hard as I recalled the way he had called me his wife down at the reception. Hell, for that one second, I had imagined what it would be like, and then opening my eyes to the reality... I hated it. It drained me to pieces.I could hear his footsteps, and I immediately leaned away and stepped into the hallways, crossing a little so he doesn't realize I stayed there to wait for him and not because I was in pain.Yes. I was in pain. Yes, I hated him. But still. Fucking still.The door opened, and his eyes met mine. His eyes widened, then narrowed, and without a word, he turned and walked away.I immediately followed, ignoring the pain that shot up my side. I am only glad I killed t

SELENA'S P.O.V I entered the foyer behind Alpha Cole, my chest still slightly heaving from the confrontation with Evan.Something told me there was something I wasn't aware of, but between the overwhelming emotions that Alpha Cole was capable of making me feel and the extreme protectiveness that Evan felt entitled to, I wasn't sure what it was.The Alpha of Waning Moon, a middle-aged elegant man, was standing close to the foyer, his hand in Alpha Cole's hand while Evan stood next to me, his hands clasped behind him."Please," Alpha Rhys said, his voice low and pleasant. "Please come in."Evan walked in front of me, and I immediately followed, my arms crossed. Alpha Rhys led us to sn open sitting room, and he ushered us to a couch. Three omegas came around with large plates of desserts, wine, and fruits.I took the seat next to Evan, my eyes meeting Alpha Cole's as I looked up.He said nothing and sat opposite Alpha Rhys, his legs crossed, as he leaned back."It is good to have you,

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I tore my gaze away from Evan, my brows slightly furrowing. Heat. It was what I had seen just now. Before I could think of it further, Alpha Rhys returned, his face slightly flushed. Despite the fact that I had obviously tipped him off whatever balance he and that seer had created, his eyes still darted to Selena before he took his seat and turned to me."Alpha. I am really honoured that you chose this place for your honeymoon. If I had been aware, I would have prepared so much more."I waved my hand and gave him a small smile. "I didn't want to trouble anyone, so be rest assured. In fact, if the resort is fully prepared, then we would like to retire for the day and give you space in your palace.""I assure you it is no problem," he said, then leaned back. "Actually, you are just in time for the pack's naming ceremony. It will start tomorrow, and even though a poor pack like mine wouldn't be able to do something as fancy as what you are used to, I would be glad if
