Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 184 – Selene Explores Her New Digs 

Selene 

If I thought Blaise‘s city was an atrocity, it‘s nothing compared to his pack house. In fact, Pack house is honestly a misnomer, it‘s more akin to a palace. That‘s why it‘s so easy to see why Arabella liked this place so much – it‘s full of the kind of gaudy excess and cruelty she adored. 

The worst part is that Blaise is still crooning to me as if I‘m a puppy, pointing out every detail of his horrible home. His servants, who all avert their gazes from him as if afraid making eye contact will cost them their heads, open every door for us as we pass. They race along side us offering re freshments and amenities, but I can see the bruises on their skin and the terrified look in their eyes. 

Every inch of the place is covered in wealth, and I can see nervous looking aristocrats glancing our way out of the corner of their eyes. 

“First things first, my beauty.” Blaise says, leading me forward by the hand. “We have to make sure you don‘t get carried away with that magic of yours. But as soon as that‘s done, we‘ll get you cleaned up and feed you.” 

“You don‘t need to contain my magic.” | protest. “You have Bastien, I‘m not going to do anything to risk him.” 

“Of course you will.” He chuckles, “It‘s in your nature. 

I‘m trying to keep track of all the rooms we‘re moving through to map out the mansion in my mind, but it doesn‘t do any good. This place is too enormous for me to sort out mentally 

“Where is Bastien anyway?” I ask, “what did you do with him.” 

“He‘s safe.” Blaise promises. 

“How do I know that, how can I trust you‘ll keep your word?” | demand. “I want to see him!”
