Selene's POV
Frederick frowned. "I have no idea what's wrong with you," he spat as he rose from the bed and swiftly pulled on his clothes. Where I stood, I turned away, my wolf howling inside my head for him, but I ignored her and kept my eyes fixed elsewhere. When the door finally slammed shut behind him, I released a shaky breath I hadn't realized I was holding. I told myself this wouldn't happen again. I told myself I was in control. But the fire he lit inside me… I hated it. I hated him. And most of all, I hated myself for giving in.
Before I could steady my racing heart, a sharp voice cut through my head.
"Selene."
I froze. The mind link. The triplets.
"We hope you're not trying to betray us."
The words landed heavy in my mind, my frown deepened. Betray them? Why would they even think that? Of course, they didn't trust me, not when their precious mate must have soiled my name to them. My frown deepened. I hated her. I hated her perfect life.
