Selene entered the palace like everyone else to celebrate the ball in the palace. Her mother and her two sisters were beside her. Humans and werewolves were present, and the palace walls were painted gray with a mixture of white. A statue of a wolf was positioned beside the hall entrance.
When she got inside the hall filled with people, the ceilings were adorned with beautiful chandeliers and burning lanterns, casting a warm glow that embraced the hall, making it look more enchanting and mesmerizing.The girls giggled among themselves, and the people were busy talking with one another in the hall.Selene's sisters were approached by their mates, and they began to talk while Selene stood in one corner of the hall with her mother.Gentle music played in the background, and everyone began to dance. The soothing music eased Selene’s heart and mind. She found herself swaying to the music alone.Almost everyone in the village knew she was a weak wolf who couldn't shapeshift, and they couldn’t approach her because they saw her as bad luck.She is a weak she wolf with no powers as a werewolf. She was hated by people in their packs and village. Maybe a weak Omega but she wasn't sure.Lost in her world, oblivious to everything around her, she didn’t even realize she was already among the people dancing until she suddenly felt someone pull her from behind, making her twirl to face the figure.She could tell it was a male from the texture of the hands holding her waist and the broad chest pressed into hers.“Mi Lord,” she started, only to look up, and her eyes met the dark orbs of the man before her. His eyes were burning like a volcano, and judging by his appearance, she could see he was from a strong werewolf pack.His dark eyes stare at her as if sizing her up to check something. His full, pink lips curled up into a smirk. His long, dark eyelashes threw Selene into a trance state.She was enchanted by his handsomeness. This man before her was undoubtedly handsome, and he looked to be in his late twenties."Mi lord, you cannot hold a young and unmarried woman." She muttered when she managed to find her voice back.Looking at the man, it felt as if her soul had been ripped out of her body. Her heartbeat accelerated as she felt a strange pull in her chest.“Milord” she repeat, her voice barely above a whisper.Selene was stunned that she hadn’t stuttered. He leaned in, as if he hasn't heard her. His lips nearing her hair as he pulled her closer, the rhythmic thudding of her heart echoing in her chest as she grappled with the right words.“What is he doing?” She asked herself silently, her gaze locked with his."A fragile human like you couldn't be my destined mate. Humans are delicate, aging swiftly, fated to dissipate like a mere speck of dust," he declared before releasing her waist.Selene found herself thrown off balance by the words uttered by the mysterious man before her."His mate?" she pondered, perplexed that this handsome stranger would recognize her as such, especially when she couldn't even sense her wolf at all."What do you mean, I'm your mate?" She asked, not caring about what he said after.She didn't mind him calling her human, and she was ready to do anything for him if he was her fated mate.Rayne scoffed at her comment, as he couldn't believe Marvin was wrong this time. How could a weak human be his fated mate, as powerful as he is?He knew the packs would mock him, and the ministers would try every possible way to bring him down. She would only be a threat to him, and he wasn't ready to protect a weak human.As the music ceased, he caught her scrutinizing him intently, awaiting his response. However, he wasn't prepared to address her question just yet.Rayne felt his wolf communicating with him in silent whispers, urging him to claim her, intensifying the simmering anger within him even further.Bathed in the warm glow of the burning lanterns, she stared at him with her full pink lips slightly parted, inhaling the air around her. Her long brown hair cascaded down her shoulders, accentuating the feminine curve of the flowing red dress she wore. His gaze traveled down her body.A unique, sweet scent enveloped him, weakening his resolve as he stared at her. Rayne observed her shock face at the revelation. He could see the dilation of her pupils, it felt as if she was gauging her words.Rayne turned his back towards her, leaving her question unanswered, and walked away with the determination to restrain his inner desires.“She is the one. Claim her" A voice said in his head, which he ignored as he walked away from the woman.After regaining her composure, Selene made her way towards the mysterious man when she noticed him walking away.She held her long dress with her right hand, scanning the crowd for him, but he had already disappeared from her sight.Selene stood there, stunned by the way he walked so swiftly, effortlessly evading her wide-eyed gaze. Lost amid the people dancing, she found herself pulled back by her mother, her heart pounding loudly in her chest."Selene, why do you seem lost? Where are you running off to?" Her mother inquired in a calm tone, her voice etched with worry. She dragged Selene alongside her as they both stood beside the table arranged in the hall, the music resuming its lively melody.Selene wiped the sweat off her hands with her dress, her eyes quickly surveying the hall before settling down on a chair, her mother doing the same.“Mother, I have found my mate," Selene said in excitement as she hugged her mother tight. Her eyes glowed with excitement, and Irene could see this.“What?" Her mother exclaimed in excitement. “Selene, your wolf... did your wolf just recognize him?" Her mother asked as she released herself from the embrace."Tell me how you got to know Selene." Selene became sad at her mother's question, and Irene noticed it."I didn't sense my wolf, mother, and my wolf didn't sense him." She explained with her hands resting on her thighs.“Then what happened?" Her mother asked in anticipation.“He recognized me first. He came to me and told me I'm his fated mate, and..." Selene stopped abruptly, as she didn't know if she was supposed to tell her mother. The man had told her she could not be his mate because she was weak.“Where is he, Selene? We need to see him." She said it quickly, with excitement evident in her voice.“I was looking for him just now." Her chest rose and fell slowly as she glanced around the hall."Stay calm, Selene. He will come back to you. Two fatee mate can never be separated. He is your destined mate, your soulmate," her mother reassured. Selene made every effort to calm her nerves and relax, but restlessness still consumed her. She needed to see him again and confirm.Although Selene never participated in the training sessions where her sisters were in their wolf form,When her sisters would spar and learn about wolves and their power, she immersed herself in countless books about werewolves. She was determined to learn as much as possible before her eventual shape-shifting.She relaxed a bit, but she couldn't shake off the memory of the look he had in his brown orbs, as if he were disappointed with her, much like everyone else.“All right, Mother." She replied, “Now join others and dance; he might even be looking for you now," Irene said before leaving Selene to cater for herself.After several minutes of dancing, trying to see if she would see the man again, Selene couldn't find the man who claimed to be her fated mate. She walked through the hall and searched every nook and cranny, but she found none.A wolf howled outside the hall, and the music stopped. Everyone went to their respective seats and waited patiently for the main event. The right-hand man of the king, Harold Hawthorne, the strongest Beta in Eldoria with exceptional strength, walked towards the stage at the front of the hall. Standing tall before everyone in the hall, his blue eyes shone differently as he gave everyone a mesmerizing smile."People of Eldoria, let's rejoice because today we are not only celebrating the ball in the palace" Everyone clapped their hands and paid keen attention as they awaited the rest of the information."The king has found his long-awaited Fated Luna!" Harold declared it aloud for everyone to hear.The king has found his long-awaited Fated Luna!" Harold declared it aloud for everyone to hear. Jubilation filled the air as they all clapped their hands together. Almost everyone becomes curious in the hall as they await who their Luna is."Let's rise to our feet as we welcome the King and the fated Luna of Eldoria!" The lights dimmed as everyone stood up from their seats. Selene was sitting beside her mother when Harold made the announcement. All eyes were fixed on the entrance as two figures emerged from the wide-opened door of the hall. Petals of flowers were scattered on the floor they walked on.Selene was happy, as everyone in the kingdom knew the Lycan King had been deprived of a mate since he ascended the throne. Every lady was awed at the beauty of the king; he was undoubtedly handsome in the blue coat that trailed down his body. They all smiled as the background flute began to play. The two couples walked up the podium, and the bright glow from the chandelier on the ceil
“You will be breeder as from today. You will be confined within the walls of the palace." Rayne declared“What?" She asked, and her eyes doubled as she asked this question. This time, she didn't stutter, and she praised herself for this. “What do you mean by breeder? I'm just a young woman living through hard days and struggling. One moment you said I'm your fated mate, and now you say I will be a breeder?"“I thought you weren't listening before, Selene," he said, her name rolling off his tongue like a symphony. “You are my destined mate, but why do you think I would declare in front of everyone that you are my mate? You are weak and powerless. Which kingdom wants a weak Omega as their Luna?"Selene's eyes stung at this as her heart tore into pieces. She wished he could stop and just tell her he was only joking, but why would the feared Alpha King joke about something like this?“I only want to take you in as my concubine to save you from humiliation because you are mine and mine
Selene opened her eyes and looked at the bathtub, but she couldn't find the King. She didn't have time to look at the beautiful room and the gemstones on the wall. She dashed towards the door in a speed of light. She tried to unlock the door, but she couldn't, despite pulling the handle with every ounce of strength in her. Suddenly, the doorknob and the door were pushed open. Selene moved back to at least hide from the person, but the figure had already come in.Selene saw Lady Isabella walk in, clad in a short night dress that accentuated her figure. She could see the tips of her breasts poking out of the cloth, and she smelled of roses. Selene bowed her head as the woman gave her a dirty look.“Are you one of the sluts that the King beds? Where is the king?" Isabella asked the strange woman in the beautiful clothes. She could see the woman was not a maid as she wore a fancy dress.“I'm not a slut, my queen," Selene replied with gritted teeth, as she couldn't take more insults tod
Selene woke up to the sound of the bell that went around the palace wall. She yawned softly and wondered how she managed to sleep after crying so much last night. The room was still neatly arranged, with some of the candles already burned out. Selene sits upright on the bed and wonders what kind of state her mother will be in. She knew no one cared about her, but her mother was different.She rose from the bed and attempted to at least attempt to make her first escape in the palace to know how far he could go when the door suddenly opened. The devil comes in and closes the door behind him.“You are awake. How was your night?" Rayne asked as he leisurely walked around the room as if he owned it, but still, he owned everything.“I came to your room last night, but you were sleeping soundly when I came in. I couldn't be a weak human like you could snore loud," Rayne explained further after receiving no reply to the first question he asked.Selene didn't want to think about what would ha
“Where are you taking me?" Selene asked as they began to walk down the corridor. “To have breakfast," Rayne replied curtly, and he took another turn. He opened the door, and the smell of the aroma of food assaulted Selene's nostrils. Her mouth watered when she saw the meals served on the table by the maids, but she wasn't alone with the Alpha king. In the spacious dining room, there were six chairs, with a long table separating the chairs. Four people were already occupying the chair, with two chairs left vacant. Selene saw the Queen, Isabella sitting, and some other people whom Selene couldn't remember except Silas Stone, whom she remembered to have seen that night at the party. The beta was in the room. Selene followed Rayne to the table before sitting on the empty chair beside a woman sitting close to Isabella. Queen Isabella was the first person to break the silence as he touched Rayne's hands before saying, “I have searched the
Selene watched as Rayne pulled his pants down before thrusting his member into the maid's core. The maid moans softly against the wall while Rayne thrust into her cunt from behind. Selene couldn't watch it as she covered her ears with her hands. She wondered what she had done wrong for something like this to happen to her. Rayne had s*x with the maid in rage like a feral beast and took a glance at Selene in the room.Rayne saw Selene turning his back to her while he fucked the maid, who didn't stop screaming as he devoured her whole like a beast. After several minutes of thrusting into the maid's cunt and he was still rock hard, he sent the maid out of the room and wore his pants.“You should rest well. See you tomorrow,” Rayne said in his deep baritone voice before shutting the door behind him. He looked down at his pants, and he was still rock hard.‘I will just find a way to get the release’ he muttered on his breath as he walked past his room.Selene slumped on the floor as she fou
Several days passed, and Rayne was not yet back. It was late at night when Isabella sent for Selene to be brought into her room. Selene, who has been practicing in secret how to communicate with her wolf, got called by the guards to follow them.She thought she was going to work again at night when the guards took a right turn down the corridor and opened the door for her to come in. “She is here, my queen," the guard said, pausing Selene to stand in front of the queen.Isabella sat on the chair with her legs crossed. “I was wondering if the rumor circulating among the maids was true. I wanted to confirm.” Isabella explained standing up from the bed to stand behind Selene as soon as the guards left.“What rumor, my Queen?” Selene asked in a calm tone. She was already exhausted and didn't have time to banter words with the Queen, which would only double her punishment as she was in no position to reprimand her.Selene already heard about the news circulating, but it was not true. Who wo
Selene dressed up after taking her bath and awaited the head maid to call her out of the room. After waiting several times in the room, she was surprised when she didn't see any of the maids come to call her. She sits on the bed, waiting patiently for the head maid, but none of them come for several minutes. She was already mastering the palace structure, just in case she wanted to. escape one day. She already plans to do the same today with the hope of not getting caught since the guards are mostly busy during the day. She heard someone knocking on the door, and she quickly rushed to open it. Instead of seeing the head maid or any other maids, three maids stood behind the door and bowed their heads to greet her. “Good morning, Milady,” they chorused at once, their heads still lowered. Selene was shocked by their sudden special treatment. She was shocked; maybe they already missed their ways because she recognized some of the maids treating her badly yesterday and the day before.
