*Selena*He took me on a romantic candlelight dinner date. He had the entire restaurant exclusively booked for us. He gently held my hand, his lips pressing softly against the back of my palm, sending shivers down my spine. My body ignited with a new, electrifying sensation, leaving me breathless and longing for more. With a courteous gesture, he guided me to our table and pulled out a chair, displaying chivalry and grace. We sat in silence as the waiters served our meal."Why do you want to marry me?" I asked timidly, observing him eat his meal with an effortless grace as if doing a favor on food. "Because you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," he replied, his tone cool and matter-of-fact as if discussing such matters was a mundane routine for him.I nodded subtly."Umm... What about your wolf? Will he accept me?" I shot another question."Lyon has already accepted you. You don't need to worry," he assured me, his focus still on his meal, as though the subject didn't w
*Selena***Present day.**Everything was still fresh in my memory, haunting me even as I attempted to forget. From the day I married until the moment I escaped my cruel husband, the memories were etched into my mind like deep scars. Despite my efforts to move on, painful recollections threatened to consume me. But above all, I had a greater purpose – to ensure my son, Austin, did not suffer due to the burning fire of revenge within me. As much as I longed for retribution against my ex-mate, Alpha King Zander Blake, I refused to put Austin's well-being at risk.But the truth was, taking down the Alpha King was no easy task. It required a foolproof plan and abundant resources to challenge the mightiest, most merciless, and seemingly invincible ruler. The rumors of his heartlessness were undoubtedly true, and I feared he wouldn't even hesitate to kill his own son if it served his pride and ambitions.I struggled to calm the tumultuous emotions swirling within me, feeling like a storm was
*Selena*My heart pounded loudly in my chest throughout the entire taxi ride, and as soon as we pulled up in front of the pack house, panic gripped me. The thought of seeing that devil again sent shivers down my spine. I never thought I had to face my ex-mate ever again. Stepping out of the taxi, I cautiously observed my surroundings. Everything looked the same, as if time had stood still since the day I left.Without wasting any time, I headed straight to the bank to inquire about my loan."Hello! How may I assist you?" a lady at the customer assistance desk greeted me with a humble smile."Umm... Hello! I have some queries," I said hesitantly."Yes, please tell me. I will try my best to help you," the lady replied softly."I want to know the status of my education loan. I thought it was paid off, but lately, I learned that some amount is still pending," I inquired, my voice revealing my vulnerability."Can I know your name and account details, please?" the lady asked politely.I hes
*Selena*I saw a woman with an angry expression striding toward us. She wore a knee-length black skirt and a suit jacket, and she seemed unfamiliar to me. Her presence exuded authority, and it was evident that she held a position of power."Please, get up. Please!" I gently held the shoulders of the omegas, pleading with them. "Thank you so much for your love, but I am not your Luna anymore," I smiled meekly, touched by their loyalty."Let's get back to work before we get into trouble. The matron is coming," I informed them, keeping a watchful eye on the approaching figure."What's going on here, you lazy asses? Listen to me carefully. If dinner is not ready on time, you will all face the consequences," the lady threatened, her tone stern and imposing."We are sorry. We are returning to work quickly," I replied on behalf of the omegas, urging them to follow me back to their tasks."You!" The woman pointed at me, summoning my attention."Me?!" I questioned, gesturing to myself with a c
*Selena* His confused blue eyes pierced into mine, making my head spin and my breathing stop. Never had I ever thought about meeting this cruel demon again. Not like this. He was naked, dripping wet in the shower, holding me onto him. His hard, sculpted body flushed with mine, making me remember all our hot and passionate moments. It would be better if I died because the feeling made me feel so embarrassed, despite not wanting to feel like that. The cold water pouring on me didn't even help not to feel his hot body pressed onto me. Every fiber of my body became alive by his proximity, and I hated myself for that. But what the hell was it, actually? Was I feeling like this because I had not been this close to a man in those three years? The thought he could smell my arousal made me so nervous. I didn't want to give his already inflated giant ego a boost, but I couldn't help it when the arousal burned my core, making me clench my thighs tightly together. Ah! Now I wanted th
*Selena* As the sun began to rise over the Moonglow pack's territory, the omegas were already bustling about in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for the rest of the pack. I was now one of them and trying to get everything ready that Luna Avery had instructed me to do for her breakfast. The matron, Eden, was watching us with a scowl on her face. Sometimes, I felt her staring at me more often than others. We knew that we had to work quickly if we wanted to avoid the wrath of Eden, who was known for her short temper and sharp tongue, and I had seen a glimpse of it on my first day here in this kitchen. I sneakily took a glance at her and found her standing in the doorway, her arms crossed over her chest and a scary murderous expression on her face. She looked over the omegas with a critical eye, searching for any sign of laziness or incompetence. "What's taking so long?" She barked. "I don't have all day to wait for you worthless omegas to make breakfast. Get a move on!" I furrowed
*Selena*After getting dressed, I was wheeled into the hospital. I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity wash over me. It had been years since I had stepped foot on this place, yet everything looked exactly the same.The sterile white walls, the smell of disinfectant, and the sound of heart monitors beeping in the background.When I arrived at the treatment room, I was greeted by a young nurse with bright green eyes and a friendly smile."Hi there, I'm Jane," the nurse said. "I heard you had a little accident in the kitchen?"I nodded, feeling a little self-conscious. "Yeah, I was making breakfast, and my dress accidentally caught fire."Jane nodded sympathetically. "Okay, let's take a look at it."I held out my hand, wincing as Jane gently prodded at the burn. My upper arm had a slight burn. It wasn't a severe injury, but it was painful as hell. However, the nurse was touching it gently.As Jane cleaned and applied disinfectant, the pack doctor, Dr. Oliver, arrived and was sh
*Selena* As our gazes locked, a silent battle of wills unfolded. The air between us crackled with an electric tension, mirroring the intensity I had felt during our very first encounter. His piercing, icy stare bore into my soul, unyielding and unwavering. "Are you suggesting that I should confine myself to the confines of the kitchen, my every move dictated by reports on the happenings in this pack house?" His voice resonated with authority, tinged with a hint of pride that shone in his eyes like polished steel. "As a King, I cannot be omnipresent, but I have entrusted loyal individuals who assist me in the efficient management of my pack," he declared, his tone laced with the weight of his royal responsibility. A flicker of amusement danced in my eyes as I listened to his self-assured proclamation. "Yes, you are a King, a ruler of great stature," I mocked, relishing the opportunity to challenge his ego. "But it seems beneath your grand persona to engage in conversations with low
