Chapter 74
We held each other’s gazes. The intensity behind those captivating eyes made me stiff with anxiety. Then slowly, I got bolder.
My eyes traveled down to her body.
Shamelessly, I might add.
Every little crevice of her body, every little dip, curve-everything. I wanted to see and carve everything into my mind. And from the way her breathing was quickening since the start, I knew she felt the same. Whatever the f uck this thing was between us, she felt.
She crossed her arms, which only managed to emphasize the swell of her chests. A groan was stuck in my throat at the sight. Selene looks away, her gaze falling to Hestia who was slowly walking up to the pool. Turning behind her every few seconds, her gaze swept by everyone before she glued her eyes to the ground.
Walker took the initiative to hand her his knife.
The knife she used to slice her palm like I did.
Everyone watched in silence as her blood dripped into the water and mixed with mine. I was certain of what the result would be, it was just a matter of when the water would decide to turn red.
And red it was.
I let out a small sigh of content knowing that Selene saw it first hand. That she knew Hestia and I were not mates. My wolf puffed out his own delight.
“Hestia! How dare you lie?”

The
angry voice came from Walker who stared down at his Luna in absolute fury. His fists were tight against this sides with his eyes wide and feral. Hestia, surprised by his tone, cowered away and stumbled back. Even Beta Dixon who was so overly confident earlier before, looked deflated. How can he not? He put his own pride on the line for the honor of his daughter who turned out to be lying. While part of me pitied him, another part really didn’t care.
Why would an Alpha like myself, deny my mate?
That would be suicide and extremely stu pid.
A Goddess given gift meant to complete and love me wholeheartedly as I would do with her, was something I dreamed of constantly.
Who could be foolish enough to deny such a blessing?
Instinctively, my eyes trailed back to Selene. These feelings I somehow have for her wasn’t like anything I ever felt.
“Alpha Locksworth, I- I am so terribly sorry. My daughter, she- I cannot-”
Beta Dixon stumbled on his words, his wolf bowing down in the utmost submissive position. He recognized his wrong and was begging for forgiveness. I stared at him, not letting anything slip through my facade.
“My apo apologies… I’m sincerely.”
I turned to Selene.
“Alpha Crestfield.”
Her arms draped protectively around her chest. She kept her unwavering eyes fixated on mine and I
fount it hard not to smile. This little she-wolf held more power and stubbornness than anyone I’ve come across. Normally, they would’ve crumbled under my gaze and went on their knees. Yet she simply stares on, patiently waiting for me to continue at my own pace.
I held my hand out to her, preparing myself for her reaction at the next few words I’d say.
“The test. I’d like to try it with you.”
She stared at me.
Shocked, surprised, unsure, confused.
Her arms fell to her sides as she regained her composure.
“That won’t be necessary,”
She said suddenly. My chest fell in slight defeat, but I was intent on holding my ground. Everyone around us was watching in interest.
