The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Of all the Alphas... why was he here?

The car door opened with a click, and Selene stepped out, her gown sweeping the ground like a tide of night sky poured into fabric. The lamps caught on the shimmer of indigo and silver, and for a fleeting second, she almost looked like she was carved out of starlight. Yet the face above the gown was not the one the world remembered.

The witch’s enchantment held flawlessly.

Her once-silver hair was now a river of midnight black, falling in soft waves that brushed her bare shoulders. Her skin gleamed a touch warmer, her eyes shaded differently, her very scent altered—nothing of her true self clung to her now.

Even if someone from her past walked right in front of her, they would never think of Selene Moonveil, the Alpha Eirik’s daughter who had died a year ago. And they would never imagine she was the same witch who had spilled Alpha blood with her own hands.

And that was the point.

The enchantment didn’t just cloak her appearance. It swallowed her whole, wrapped her in a skin that was untouchable, almost divine. A woman who was no one and yet impossible to ignore.

She walked forward, heels clicking softly against stone, her movements calm and unhurried. She had rehearsed this. Every step, every tilt of her head, every flutter of her lashes—it was all deliberate. There could be no hesitation here, not when she was walking straight into a den of wolves who could scent fear as easily as blood.

The guards at the door gave her only a glance, their eyes skimming the strange guest draped in elegance. None of them questioned.

When she entered the hall, the air itself seemed to shift towards her.

Conversations faltered. Glasses stilled in mid-air. The grand chandeliers above scattered their light across her gown, igniting each silver thread until she seemed to glow from within.

Wolves who prided themselves on control found their gazes betraying them, sliding back to her again and again, as if she had pulled some invisible thread that tied their attention to her presence.
