Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Start Licking

Selene’s POV

Right in front of me, lounging like a king, was Alpha Lucian. His sharp eyes were half-lidded, his lips curved in a slow, fake smile. But it wasn’t him that made my stomach twist with sickness.

It was Kael.

Seated beside his brother, Kael had a half-naked woman curled up on his lap—a beautiful blonde who looked drunk on pleasure and wine. His hand was gripping her lower body tightly, and her chest was exposed, pressed against his face while he... latched onto her like a starving animal.

She moaned softly, her fingers tangled in his hair, her hips squirming as if begging for more.

I couldn’t move. Then Kael’s cold grey eyes met mine. My blood ran cold.

I looked down instantly, my entire body stiff with shame and fear. Why did I look? Why did I come here?

I should have run.

Before I could gather myself, a hand gripped my wrist and yanked me forward. I lost balance and fell again, this time at the feet of Lucian.

He leaned forward, smile never leaving his face. "Don’t mind the rudeness," he said softly. "My brother prefers things raw."

My heart hammered.

"But you don’t need to worry," he continued in that same gentle tone, brushing a strand of my hair back as if he were kind. "He’s busy tonight... so while you’re here, why don’t you serve me some wine?"

I didn’t move.

But every word he spoke crawled like poison under my skin. I didn’t believe a single one. That smile of his—it wasn’t kindness. It
