|| Selene's POV ||
Oh, Selene! You are hopeless. Stop thinking about him. He must have some agenda behind it all.
what if he wanted to kill me here? It was perfect. I mean... just a poison bath and that's all it would take. What if he wanted to make me disabled? Just because he carried me here didn't mean he meant well.
I should be cautious. I should call for help. Instead, all I could think off was how handsome Rowan was.
I kept my eyes on him. Even if he did something, I knew I wouldn't be able to counter. But that didn’t mean I wouldn't even try to survive. He moved around the tub, opening all the taps around it. Cold water poured through the tub. It soothed my hot skin.
I wrapped my hands around my chest, trying to hide myself from his preying gaze as his shirt got soaked under the water. He ignored my reaction.
“Stay here.” He said, standing up. I finally let out a sigh of relief as I found him walking out of the bathroom. Thank goddess he was gone! But I was wrong!
He came back soon enough. There was a small file in his hand. Was it some kind of ointments? I furrowed my brows. He wasn't gonna poison me, right?
"What's that?" I asked in a shaky voice. Goddess I wouldn't be able to even run even if he poisons me now!
He looked at me as he held up the file, "this? You will find out soon!"
I tried to scramble back though there was no place to go any further, "you... you cannot poison me here. My brother will find out!"
Rowan let out a loud chuckle, "poison you? Is that what you think?"
I kept my eyes trained on him. My lips couldn't make another sound.
He stepped closer and said, "relax."
I heard him sighing next. What now?
“I heard this helps the female in heat.” He said as he poured it in the water. He wasn't lying. The calming scent actually relaxed my nerves.
“Why? Why are you helping me?” I asked.
“Because you are my queen.” Rowan or his lycan replied.
I laughed, “you said you hated me. You want revenge and nothing else.”
“And I can't take my revenge if you die here with your heat on.” He replied.
“Die here in the heat?” I muttered.
What kind of logic was that? No one died so far from the heat. The worse outcome would have been that me being r***d by other males as they couldn’t keep their sanity at my scent.
Forget it! I was way too exhausted to fight. I leaned my head on the headrest and stretched my legs, soaking into the water. Rowan left the room silently.
I didn’t know how long it had been but the pain didn’t subdued. I gritted my teeth. Heat pulsed around my core as a living breathing element.
I let out a whimper. Oh! It was hot! Every cell in my body was burning. And then I smelt it. My pheromone! Oh no!

|| Rowan's POV ||
‘Damn it, Geoden!’ I cursed my lycan as I stood under the cold shower. The cold water splashed on my skin. But it did nothing to comfort my irritation, my anger or my needs.
‘Why the f**k do you care? Have you forgotten that she killed our soulmate?’ I crushed my lycan again, my fist slammed against the wall, making a dent.
But he had already shut himself off.
That was my regular. No matter how much I try, he wouldn’t listen, he wouldn’t respond. As if the connection between us was broken. And we were just two souls sharing a body, fighting every moment for dominance.
‘Why?’ I growled again.
My mind went back to the woods when those filthy rogues were about to touch her. Why the f**k did I even save her? Or rather I should say why the f**k did Geoden stepped in?
After Elra, he stopped caring for everything. For everyone. Foes and Friends were the same to him. Then why treat her differently?
I stepped out of the shower, and another sigh left my lips. This wasn’t even my bathroom. Which meant no clothes of mine were in here.
Why the hell did I have to leave my own room just because of that woman!
Wrapping one towel around me, I ran my hands through my damp hair. f**k it! I would just stay here for the night and would ask a maid to bring me some clothes here.
As I was debating on what I should do, the sweetest scent hit my nostril. A chill went down my spine. My feet carried me to the corridor before I could resist, and my head spun in the direction of the scent.
I spotted three servants around the area, all looking in the same direction with greed and lust in their eyes.
Damn her! Damn her pheromones! It was dragging all the unmated males around the castle to her door step, making them lose their minds. It was like a siren's call to lure out the unmated wolves.
I felt weak on my knees as my d**k hardened. My heart raced faster and faster. All I could think of was Selene.
My body reacted on its own. My brain became foggy.
I took long strides towards my bedroom. Sensing my presence, the servants scattered. I kept my head high as I walked inside the chamber. As soon as I opened the door, my brain froze.
The flowery scent in the room was maddening. My throat went dry and my limbs became rigid. It was probably the strongest aphrodisiac I ever encountered. Goddess!
Before I could react, my lycan stirred inside me. My arms became hairy and my nails elongated.
‘f**k, Geo! You can't be serious! We are not gonna touch her!’ I screamed at him but he gave me the usual cold shoulder.
My eyes became silvery as I found my lycan pushing me away in the back while he slowly took over.
‘Geoden… don't!’ I yelled at the back but my lycan ignored my calls and walked straight into the bathroom.
