Selena’s povI had woken up even before the alarm I had set rang, I lay on the bed turning and tossing around. I didn’t get enough sleep throughout the night. I was restless with thoughts that refused to settle knowing I had hurt my mom by keeping the news of my pregnancy from her.Glancing at the time on my phone, it was almost 7 am. My mom would have woken up and she would be out any moment from now. I had to make sure she forgives me before I leave for the shop today.Shifting from my prone position, I sat at the edge of the bed, my foot anxiously tapping on the floor waiting for my mom to come out.My eyes locked to the screen on my phone, I bite my fingers as I watch as each minute passes by. My heart raced as I recalled the anger I saw in her eyes sending chills down my spine. It was the first time I had seen my mom like that, unlike that of her usual jovial and lively demeanor, she was a different person entirely. I sincerely hope she forgives me, I couldn’t bear the thought
Two weeks laterSelena PovToday has been hectic yet a fulfilling one with customers streaming in and out of the shop. The online customers too weren't left out, they kept placing their orders and we made sure their orders got to them as soon as possible all thanks to the logistic company Evelyn recommended to me a few days ago.Their dispatch rider is so effective, reliable, and easy to work with, he makes sure to deliver the orders of each customer on time, unlike the previous one I worked with, he almost tarnished the image of my bakery- the feedback I got from my online customers were not pleasing to my hearing.It's either they complain that their order took too long to be delivered to them or it wasn't looking fresh as they expected it to be or by the time it got to them, the craving for it has disappeared.And his reasons are never valid each time I complain about the feedback I keep getting from my customers, it's either the bike broke down in the middle of the road, or someth
Selena's PovI stepped out of my bedroom looking all dressed and ready for today's task ahead in the bakery. I had woken quite early today even before the alarm could wake me up which is kinda of unusual, I decided to get ready for work rather than just lazing around on the bed waiting for the normal time to prepare myself for work.I heard a noise coming from the kitchen which meant my mom was up as always preparing breakfast for the both of us, she's the early bird between us.Just as I was about to make my way to the kitchen, my mom emerged from the kitchen holding a tray containing food which I have no idea what it was since it's covered.Surprise flickered across her eyes the moment she saw me, it was so obvious she wasn't expecting to see me ready for work this early."Good morning Mom", I greeted, moving closer to her."Morning darling, how was your night? Hope you slept well. And how is my little one doing?", her smile radiated warmth, she never ceases to inquire about my preg
Alpha Gabriel PovI was having a Zoom meeting with my business partners when the door swung open revealing Asher holding the document I had requested earlier. He placed it on the table before me, then casually helped himself to a can of soda from the refrigerator, his presence blending seamlessly with the room's ambiance. Asher settled into the Sofa chair patiently waiting for me to get done with the meeting."That will be all for now", I announced after a while signaling the end of the meeting, with that I clicked on the end meeting button at the bottom right corner of my system.I glanced at Asher who was engrossed with his phone and taking a sip of the soda with his other hand with his legs crossed as usual, he seemed not to notice that I was done with the Zoom meeting.I decided to go through the document he had brought, meticulously scanning each pages for potential errors or amendments.After a while, I was done without detecting any errors, I was satisfied with what he had prep
A week later…..Selena povToday, I have an appointment with my gynecologist. It's a rescheduled appointment because I have been so busy tending to orders at the bakery. The constant referrals pouring in after delivering Mrs Jones's granddaughter's birthday cake has been overwhelming.Some clients would insist that I single-handedly bake it myself while some don't care who bakes and decorates the cake as long as it comes from my bakery. Thankfully we have Charles in our midst now and I couldn't be more grateful.He joined a few days back and I would say he's exceptionally good at what he does. Scarlett wasn't wrong about him a bit, he was able to get along with the girls, especially Evelyn. One would think it was the same day I employed them.I arrived at the hospital, this wasn't your typical overcrowded hospital swarming with patients. It's a private hospital and it's quite expensive- the decor was sleek and modern and their staff was friendly and attentive.It's the same hospital A
Selena povThe anticipation had kept me awake all night, my mind buzzing with excitement. I arrived at the shop early the next day. I had lost count of the number of times I read the email just to be sure it wasn't an illusion.I wasn't able to get through to Asher throughout yesterday, I called him but he didn't pick up, perhaps he was busy. I decided to call him later today.Entering the shop, I spotted Norah setting up the display area, completely engrossed in what she was doing, unaware of my presence. A mischievous idea crept into my mind, and I couldn't resist the urge to give her a playful scare to get her reaction.With a suppressed giggle, I stealthily approached her, intending to catch her off guard making sure she didn't notice my presence. Just as I was about to execute my plan, she suddenly turned around, letting out a surprise yelp at the sight of me."Geez, Selena you scared me", she said, patting her chest gently."Really, sorry Norah, didn't mean to startle you", I ch
Selena's PovIt was the eve of the highly anticipated mating ball party. A grand event where the pack members and Alphas from the neighboring city would gather to celebrate love and unity.Mostly those who are yet to find their fated mate.The night brimmed with excitement as the moon cast its silvery embrace upon the opulent mansion that belonged to Gabriel, Alpha of Silvercrest pack.Myself and other servants in the mansion were busy putting things into place, ensuring that every detail was perfect. I stood afar admiring the magic we created. Starting from chandeliers casting a warm, golden glow, illuminating the intricately designed ballroom. The delicate floral arrangements adorned every corner, adding an air of enchantment to the already majestic setting. The silverware gleamed, and the tables were set with exquisite precision, ready to welcome the esteemed guests.Soon the guest starts trooping in, all dressed in their luxury outfits. Among them were Alphas from other packs alo
Selena's POVI stood there frozen as I stared at him in shock with my eyes wide open. Never in my wildest dreams had imagined that I could be favored by the goddess to be fated to Gabriel."Goodness Selena, you are going to be the Luna!!!" Ember my wolf purred in my mind, dancing with excitement.I felt overwhelmed as my heart brimmed with hope for a future filled with love and happiness."I'm… I'm so honored….." I didn't complete what I was about to say when his next word left me devastated."I don't accept this bond."He said.I felt my heart racing as he said it again."You are not fit to be my mate and the Luna of this pack, I Gabriel Blackwood, the Alpha of Silvercrest pack reject you Selena as my mate," he coldly declared.I felt a pang of pain as his words pierced through my heart like a thousand thorns. I stood there my eyes filled with tears as he declared that I was not worthy of being his mate in the presence of the entire pack members. I couldn't help but notice them glar
