Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Reject Him

Selene’s POV

We both moaned in between the kiss, but then my senses snapped back into me, and I withdrew, pushing him away and landing a slap on his face. The slap was so hard that it echoed in the room.

Breathing heavily, I took a few steps away from him while I watched him close his eyes for a moment, as if composing himself, before he slowly opened them and fixed them on me. I swallowed hard but refused to let him see my fear or unease. I expected him to yell or get angry, but he didn’t. Rather, he sucked in a deep breath and turned to leave. I was dumbfounded as I watched him go for the door, but on reaching it, he paused. He didn’t turn, but he spoke.

"I don’t want to see you with that little boyfriend of yours, Selene," he said softly. "If you want him alive, I suggest you end whatever’s between you. I don’t share—and you should know that by now."

His tone was calm, almost gentle, but the threat underneath it sent chills racing through me. Without another glance, he opened the door, stepped out, and closed it quietly behind him.

The moment he was gone, I collapsed onto the bed, burying my face in my hands.

Why did I do that?

I pressed my hands against my face, trying to stop the flood of emotions crashing through me. Anger, confusion, and guilt—they all tangled inside me until I couldn’t tell which hurt more. I could still feel his warmth, his scent clinging to my skin like a memory I couldn’t wash away.

"Moon Goddess..." I whispered shakily. "What’s happening to me?"

My wolf stirred restlessly inside. You shouldn’t have pushed him away, she murmured, her voice soft but accusing. He was holding back. You felt it too.

I shook my head. "No... I have to hate him."

But even as I said it, my voice broke. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t that simple. Frederick wasn’t just any man—he was my mate, the one person my soul refused to let go of no matter how hard I tried.

My hands dropped slowly from my face, and I stared at the closed door. A tear slipped down my cheek before I could stop it. I hated him for making me feel weak... but I hated myself even more for still wanting him.

A soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Selene?" Daniel’s voice came through, gentle and worried. "Are you okay? I heard something."

I swallowed hard, wiping my face quickly. "I’m fine," I lied, forcing my voice steady.

But as I looked at my reflection in the mirror—my flushed cheeks, trembling lips, and eyes filled with tears—I knew fine was the last thing I was.

Daniel entered, shutting the door behind him with care. He sat beside me on the bed, saying nothing for a while. The silence between us was thick, almost suffocating. Finally, he spoke.

"Will you tell him the truth?" Daniel suddenly asked, and I already knew what he was asking about. He was talking about the mate bond—about me telling Frederick that we are mates.

"I can’t... If I do... he will never let go of me," I whispered.
