The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: A Night Summons

Selene’s POV

After a long, tiring day, I had just laid down to rest. My body ached, and my eyes were heavy with sleep. For once, I thought I could finally have a few peaceful hours without anyone yelling or shoving me around.

But that hope shattered the moment someone banged loudly on my door.

The noise was so sudden and harsh, that I sat up straight in bed, heart pounding in my chest. Before I could even respond, the door burst open, slamming against the wall with a sharp thud.

A guard stepped in, he was tall, broad, and wearing a scowl like he had swallowed something bitter.

"Alpha Lucian is asking for your presence. Get going," he said in a stern, cold voice.

I blinked at him, stunned. Alpha Lucian? At this hour?

It was the middle of the night. The halls had gone quiet long ago. Why would he call for me now?

My stomach twisted with dread.

Something wasn’t right.

Fear settled like a stone in my chest. Was I in trouble? Had I done something wrong again? Was this punishment?

Before I could make sense of it, the guard’s voice turned sharp and impatient.

"Well? Are you coming, or should I drag you there like a mutt?"

I quickly stood up, lowering my head. "I’m coming," I whispered.
