The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Breaking Point

Selene’s POV

I should have known today would go badly.

The moment I saw those two walking toward me, I knew my luck had run out again.

Even back in the palace, we never got along. Meriya and Arlena always wore fake smiles, hiding sharp claws underneath. They never missed a chance to humiliate me. Back then, I still had a name... still had dignity. And even then, they hated me.

Now? Now that I was nothing? A slave with no family, no power, no protection?

They were going to destroy me.

I lowered my gaze quickly, hoping they would just pass by or lose interest. But no. Of course not. The goddess must enjoy watching me suffer, because they found me too quickly—smirking like noblewomen with golden crowns, pretending to care.

"Selene?" Arlena gasped with fake surprise, covering her mouth like she had just seen a ghost. "Oh my, it really is you!"

I stayed quiet. I didn’t want this fight. I didn’t want any part of their twisted games.

Meriya stepped closer, her eyes scanning me from head to toe with thinly hidden disgust. "Working in the Alpha Wing?" Her smile was tight. Cold. "How strange."

I could feel their jealousy—burning hotter than the sun outside. Even as I kneeled on the cold hallway floor, dressed in a filthy servant’s gown, with my hands red from scrubbing tile after tile... they looked at me like I was still a threat.

Like my existence bothered them.

Then, without warning, Arlena kicked over my bucket.

Dirty water splashed over my legs and chest, soaking the last clean part of my gown. It stuck to my skin.
