C Chapter 39
Selene’s POV
My life in the vampire kingdom was safer than I expected in the first few weeks, as nobody tlid more than just look at me with strange looks. Like the members in the castle would only look at nie while I passed but wouldn’t say anything or try to hurt me with either words or other ways, just as 1 faced in the Lycan kingdom. It was as if they had been warned and were bound not to touch me.
One thing I knew well was that they actually don’t love me, and it was just out of respect for their prince since I was a girl he brought for himself and had warned them not to tamper with
He might have called me his s l a v e or personal maid, but whoever was in the building would know it was all lies. He stinks at hiding it and won’t even allow me to pretend better. He doesn’t want me to do any work for him and would prefer spending the day with me in the room, where we talk about different topics.
He was so cool and told me stories, interesting things about this place, and even how his childhood went. I was loving the friendship, and I was so sure and ready to build it up into something serious. His parents, whom I thought would be an obstacle, were too busy with kingdom activities, or maybe they just chose to let me be
as peaceful, and I was enjoying it, but the problem was that Liam had refused to say anything about the girl his parents ed his fiance. Anytime I asked him about her, he would wave and snort, telling me to forget about her.
I was trying to actually put her out of my mind, but it wasn’t possible, I still knew that as long as she was alive, whatever future I was thinking of with Liam wouldn’t work out. Actually, I won’t mind just being his friend, but I still doubt the girl will allow me to be a friend.
He doesn’t want to talk about her, and he clearly doesn’t like her. I could read it on his face and eyes anytime I brought it up.
“Why not communicate with her and let her know it won’t work? Like, she still thinks you are her husband to be.” I said to him one of those nights we talked in his room.
“She knows I am not in support of the marriage unless she wants to act delusional. Everybody knows my heart belongs to no one!” He stated it with a firm tone and looked at me with a soft gaze, as if trying to tell me the statement was an exception
for me.
As the day went by, I fell deeper in love. I was envisioning my future with him, and I must say it was overwhelming and great The kind of support he gives me. How good he was at making me laugh, and how he gazed at my face as if it were a display of magic.
I knew he loved me. I knew I was ready to love him even without us being mates, but the issue was still there. Someone was still walking around with the tag of being his fiance. She might not be here now, but she will come some day, and I can’t imagine what the outcome will be
As a weak, wolfless girl, I wasn’t ready to face another oppression. Vampires are more wicked than Lycan and werewolves, adding that we are even a meal for them to devour, and the hatred makes it all worse.
Well, I was able to push it out of my mind and live on in the moment, a moment I never wanted to end. I was even gradually forgetting Lucian and my family at the pack. They were a torture to my soul, and Liam wants me to always be happy, so I made sure I didn’t have them in my mind so they wouldn’t ruin my mood.
One fateful morning, Liam went to be with his parents at the palace, as he does sometimes. He would be there till evening. when he would come back and spend the rest of the day with me.
I just had to stay indoors without coming out at all. He doesn’t always want me to be seen outside, and I really prefer that way. He was enough to make my day. I needed not to be familiar with anyone else.
Chapter 39
May
This morning, he went away to the palace as usual, and I stayed in the room. The food, water, and fruits I will be needing are all in the room, and all I should do is eat, bathe, and sleep to my heart’s content.
I was standing in front of the mirror, and I could see the changes in my body. They were so obvious. I was adding weight, getting more nourished rapidly with my boobs, and growing really fast with my curves, I looked more beautiful and s e x y.
It was something that really made me blush and grin from ear to ear, but it was cut off by a knock. I should have known Liam didn’t knock since he had the key and then kept quiet, acting like I was either sleeping or wasn’t in the room either.
But I didn’t think fast, so I asked who was at the door.
“Prince Liam sent me to deliver a message to you.” He replied, and I didn’t hesitate to open the door. Just as I did, a firm
I hand grabbed my neck, his palm covering my mouth as he dashed in and used his legs to kick the door close.
He was masked, and before I could know what was actually happening, I felt a hit on my nose that sent sharp, unbearable pain while I fell back on my buttocks. He had headbutted me.
I made to scream, but he pointed a gun at me with a sign for me to shut my mouth, and I did immediately, covering it with my palm as tears rolled down my eyes while I tried to figure out who it was.
h o do you think you are? Cinderella?” He growled; his voice was really thick and scary. I shook my head, not knowing
was supposed to do or say.
“Have you heard of Sophia? Do you know who she is to Liam?” He asked in a hush whisper that sent chills down my spine as he coc k e d the gun along.
III.know. My lips were shivering, and words were finding it hard to leave
“So who are you to Liam! Don’t dare tell me you’re his personal s e x t o y or s l v e, as he introduced you, because I am very sure it was all pretense. It was planned by both of you! Tell me where the f u c k you came from and who the hell you are to Liam?!” He snarled, leaving me shaking, my entire being trembling at each word he spoke as my eyes stuck at the index finger around the trigger as I feared the worst.
I don’t even know how he was able to enter here. If he leaves, for real, I won’t be able to report to Liam. Nothing was giving his identity away. Nothing could be used to describe him to Liam except being tall since he had a hoody long sleeve and trouser with a mask that covered every part of his face.
“I am just a friend, honestly. Nothing more……”The words couldn’t roll out completely as he used his heavy-duty boot and kicked me in the face. I screeched, holding my face, which was now stained with the liquid of my blood. My mouth also has that tangy taste of my blood.
“You think I am here to joke, b i t c h y wolf? I will kill you here, and nothing will happen!” He roared, and I just regretted that the roll was soundproof. There was no way I would be able to ask for help, and my life was really in his hands at the moment, which I can’t deny for any reason.
“Please don’t kill me. Please, I will leave him if…
“I am not here to tell you to leave him. I am here to tell you that he has a fiancé who he should be getting married to
soonest
“Yes, yes, yes, he will marry her. He will do that. “It’s not worth anything to be made queen, and…”
“Shut up your stinky mouth. Liam loves you, and we aren’t blind. If you don’t have a way to stop him, I do, and that’s by killing you. If your presence tampers with the marriage between Liam and Sophia, then I will take that life from you and keep it where it should be. Always remember who you are, a foolish wolf girl!” he blurted and hissed.
“Yes, I will. I will remember, and I will always stay away from Liam. 1….”
