“What is so special about her, Rayne?” she asked herself as she lay on her stomach. She was supposed to be pregnant right now since they always do it when she is about to ovulate, but it seems luck isn't on her side. “If only I could just get pregnant, then all would be fine,” she said, rubbing her flat stomach as she stared at the wooden ceiling. “Why her?” However, she was happy someone else was showing interest in Selene. At least she knew where to direct her focus when the time came. She knew if the girl was gone, then Rayne would surely come to her, giving her his full attention. *** Rayne, upon seeing the corpse of the woman, confirms that it was indeed the work of this creature he read about. But who would have awakened this kind of creature, and for what reason would it start killing just a few weeks ago, unless someone is controlling it, of course? His men stand beside him as they observe the corpse. “There was no sign of struggling,” Harold points out, checking the
The fragrance of flowers filled her nostrils, and her smile widened as she saw different flowers placed in the garden. The ground was still wet from the rain that fell yesterday, and there were droplets of water on some of the leaves. The sun wasn't shining brightly today. Selene didn't see Aron or Rayne in sight, and right now she wished to go outside the palace walls. She retired to her room and decided to read the book she had taken from the library. She was stunned to see some erotic images of the duke and the physician lady as they rocked into each other. Her mind went awry when she remembered the way Rayne's bulge kept hitting her core Her cheeks flushed pink as she tried to focus her mind on the book. “No wonder the maids always ogle at him,” she muttered in the quiet of the room. The writer begins to explain how the male body and the female body work. Selene gets to learn a lot of new things she hasn't learned before. She knows there is nothing bad in it since she is alre
“Can I know a little about you? I don't mind being your friend,” Aron inquired as he stared at the waterfall. It was a sculpture of a wolf with water dripping down its mouth. “Of course, my king, I used to live in Owl Coven village before I came to the palace,” Selene confessed, ignoring the part where she was abused and made jest of. “Then how did you become a breeder in the palace since you are living in Owl Coven? If you don't want to answer, then don't,” Aron said as he turned to look at the woman. “I came to the party like everyone else a month ago. The king found me and made me his breeder." She wasn't ready to disclose too much information because she would just be embarrassing herself. Aron knew the story was not complete, but he wasn't going to pressure her now because he could see her reluctance. “Okay then” “How are you related to the king, Milord? You look a lot like the king,” Selene pointed out and rubbed her neck because of the cold. “Well, I'm one of the distant
Isabella sent out her invitation to some of the nobles' families in the kingdom and some other people she knew. She already has a beautiful dress since the party will be held in the next two days. Lily came into the room and gave Isabella what was in her hand. “Are you sure no one sees you?” Isabella asked; he needed to be cautious. "Yes, milady,” she replied. Isabella smiled as she looked at what Lily gave her. A malicious smile graced her lips.*** Andrew didn't know what to expect as he walked inside the king's chambers for the first time. He has always submitted his report through the use of paper, scribbling down the words and giving them to Harold, who was the closest to the king, being his beta. “Your Highness,” he said, bowing his head. Rayne was busy reading a parchment among all the others lying on the table. “Speak up,” Rayne beckoned to Andrew. “The lady didn't come out of her room for some days, but she came outside twice,” Andrew explained as he stared at the king
“You are allowed to take in any woman and do all sorts of things together. Why am I not allowed to do the same? What makes you the exception and not me?” Selene yelled as she clenched her fist in anger. She wasn't ready to call him by his title, and she dared not call him by his name either. Rayne stopped abruptly when she heard her say that. Could it be that she was right? But she wasn't ready to admit it. “You choose to be weak, so why would you blame me for taking you in as my mate? You couldn't even shapeshift, and most people in the packs thought I brought in a human as a breeder when you were a wolf, but you chose to hide in your shell,” Rayne complained as he took a step closer to her. Selene's face contours in pain as his words sink into her brain. But she wasn't ready to cry for this heartless king. He will not hesitate to poke at her weakness. “Then why are you here when you know I'm weak and don't fit to stand beside you? You should leave and let me be.” Selene explain
“Another woman was murdered yesterday night,” Harold confessed before raising his head to meet the king's eyes. “The body?” Rayne inquired, wanting to know where the corpse was. “It’s in the morgue, your highness. I moved the corpse there this morning.” Harold confirmed. “Then we have to speed up, and it seems I won't be staying long to celebrate the Queen's birthday.” Rayne said, pausing, “What about them? Have they improved?” Rayne asked, his demeanor changing because he knew the ministers would soon come to the palace to demand what he had been doing to curb the killing of the people.“They are ready. I just told them to wait for you." “Pick the best ten out of them and let them meet me outside the gate at night,” Rayne said sternly as he began to walk towards the field. “It is done, Your Highness,” Harold replied, walking by the king's side.The men fought in front of the king and Harold, and Rayne could see they were improving. The best thing now is to check the corpse to se
The hall was decorated with a beautiful intricate design made on the wall; the air was filled with a rose scent; and the chandeliers remained fixed on the wooden ceiling, casting their orange glow on the hall. However, Rayne could smell a unique smell. Though the hall was filled with a rose smell, he recognized this particular smell, which stood out among all the other scents. Rayne turned his head to look at the intruder; of course, he recognized her. Selene descended the stairs in her long, flowery green dress that hung low on her shoulder. The dress clung to her tiny waist with a silver ribbon at the end. Her wavy, long brown hair bounces down the stairs as she descends. Her doe-like black eyes scan the crowd before walking towards a seat. Rayne's mouth waters as he stares at his wild vixen. He followed her line of direction, and he wasn't surprised when he saw Aron waving at her, smiling. His body boiled, and he clenched his fist in anger. Almost all the men were ogling at he
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 coul
