CHAPTER 4

(Selene’s POV).
“Are you out of your mind?”
After hearing that, my awareness became full. I was shocked because his offer wasn’t a joke.
He looked calm and kept smiling after hearing my reaction. He even shook his head and sighed.
“Since when can I joke about what comes from my mouth? I offer you this because I know your abilities, Selene.”
I couldn’t think of anything because he seemed sure to offer me that serious position. But I had to know why he offered me that besides my capability, because I knew everyone also has their capability, not only me. He could offer another werewolf about this.
“Why? Why me?” I asked. “You know, I just divorced your son, Lucian. And now you want me to be your Lycan Queen?”
Then he smirked at me. “Isn’t it fair to take revenge on him through me? You can show that you have already moved on from him and lost him, just nothing.”
I looked at him in shock. It turned out he wanted to help me as well. Getting this offer from my ex-husband’s father was just too weird.
“Selene, listen, I don’t want a mate. At my age, mates don't matter to me. Because all I want is a Queen to strengthen my bloodline,” he explained.
I could hear his seriousness about it. Also, I could tell when he would be joking or not. And now, he showed me his seriousness in this matter.
I felt he was already like my partner. I didn’t know why, maybe because Daxton rarely talked about his seriousness to me. I meant I also wanted a partner like Lucian, who is wise and serious and who knows what he will do in the future.
“You know this is a serious matter, Lucian.”
“I’m aware of it a hundred percent.”
I inhaled and exhaled after making sure many times about his madness proposal. But I couldn’t just decide now. It was too quick to decide on something big, which I had to think about first.
I wanted to get revenge on Daxton, yes. But I had never expected that Lucian would be my helper… indirectly.
“But this needs a lot of responsibility, Lucian, you know that.”
“Of course, I know. That’s why I am offering you Selene. I know that you are She-Alpha with a lot of responsibility to your pack.”
He could say that, but honestly, it was so hard to do that. I had to gather all my pack's ideas to become one. But it was true that my pack always believed in what I did and trusted myself about future things for the best of my pack.
“Are you doubting something?” he asked me when I didn’t reply to his words.
“I don’t know. But maybe.”
“Tell me what you are doubting.”
“How about the feeling? If I become your queen, should it include emotional feelings? Love?”
He smiled when hearing that and then shook his head. “No emotional feelings; I just need power.”
My lips almost opened because I wanted to refuse his offer. But the idea, and he just needed power, made me think hard.
My pack is still recovering from Daxton's damage to them, and Lucian’s offer was something that I thought could be my savior, save my pack.
Suddenly, Daxton appeared, storming into my pack unceremoniously with an expression that looked just as angry and hateful as it had in the club earlier.
I didn't say anything, even though I was a bit surprised by his appearance. I just looked at him, who was staring at me with a panting breath.
"You damn she-wolf! You were involved with my father!" he accused. Even as he saw his father, he was bold and temperamental.
“Why are you coming here only to say that, Daxton?” I asked as I didn’t care about his arrival.
It actually hurt me to see him again. He came as he liked without thinking about my feelings after our separation. But then I knew he didn’t care about my feelings, about everything we had been through for years.
He accused me again like he was intentionally looking for a problem.
“Because you never deserve anyone! You are just a b***h looking for attention from old people, just like my father!”
His rude words made all of my pack look at us, making me as public attention. He embarrassed me, and it irritated me.
“How dare you say that to me, Daxton! We’re divorced already, and you shouldn’t just come up here! I have nothing to do with you again!”
My patient ran out, and besides his arrival, who hurt me, his accusation was something that I couldn’t tolerate again.
He was so arrogant, and now he seemed like he couldn’t accept our separation when he was the one who asked first.
“If you aren’t a b***h, then why is he here? He can’t be here if you aren’t selling your pitiness to him!”
“She’s not selling anything, Dexton. And you better watch the way you talk!” Now Lucian defended me.
I felt a bit of relief hearing it. I also guess he was the one who defended me.
“Stop defending her, Dad! Are you blinded?! Or did she sleep with you already until you could defend her?!”
I was surprised to hear Daxton’s words. My eyes widened, and my breath was panting.
“You asshole! How could you say that about me?! I thought you knew me well for years and that I wouldn’t do that low thing to anyone!”
“I say this because you can do anything when you’re hurt, b***h! You can be bold enough to sell your body just to get my father’s attention! You were mine, and now you are with my father… it’s disgusting!”
I stood a few inches from him and looked at him with hatred. “So you know, I’ve moved on from you! So stop thinking, as I’m still hurt because of you! Because since you show how arrogant you are, my feelings for you are gone!”
Before he could reply to my words, Lucian got closer. Suddenly, he pulled me beside him. He smirked at Daxton, saying, "If she was truly yours, son, why does she fit so perfectly beside me?"
