Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 474: Reject Him

Selene’s POV

We both moaned in between the kiss, but then my senses snapped back into me, and | withdrew, pushing him

away and landing a slap on his face. The slap was so hard that it echoed in the room.

Breathing heavily, | took a few steps away from him while | watched him close his eyes for a moment, as if

composing himself, before he slowly opened them and fixed them on me. | swallowed hard but refused to let him

see my fear or unease. | expected him to yell or get angry, but he didn’t. Rather, he sucked in a deep breath and

turned to leave. | was dumbfounded as | 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, |

suggest you end whatever's between you. | 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, | collapsed onto the bed, burying my face in my hands.

Why did | do that?

| pressed my hands against my face, trying to stop the flood of emotions crashing through me. Anger, confusion,

and guilt—they all tangled insideuntil I couldn't tell which hurt more. | could still feel his warmth, his scent

clinging to my skin like a memory | couldn’t wash away.

"Moon Goddess..." | 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.

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

But even as | said it, my voice broke. Deep down, | 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 | tried.

My hands dropped slowly from my face, and | stared at the closed door. A tear slipped down my cheek before |

could stop it. | hated him for makingfeel weak... but | hated myself even more for still wanting him.

A soft knock at the door pulledfrom my thoughts.

"Selene?" Daniel's voice cthrough, gentle and worried. "Are you okay? | heard something."

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

But as | looked at my reflection in the mirror—my flushed cheeks, trembling lips, and eyes filled with tears—I

knew fine was the last thing | was.

Daniel entered, shutting the door behind him with care. He sat besideon 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 | already knew what he was asking about. He was

talking about the mate bond—abouttelling Frederick that we are mates.

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

Daniel nodded as if understanding my reason, but then he spoke. "But if you really want to stop being attracted

to him, you have to undergo a rejection with him. And how can you do that if you don’t tell him you both are

mated?"

| swallowed hard. Daniel had a point. | could only be free from this chaotic feeling if | severed my bond with

Frederick. But how could | do that if I didn’t tell him we were mates? | knew telling him would be a bad idea

because the Frederick | knew would never let go ofonce he found out. He would never agree to a rejection.

Daniel sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Then what's your plan, Selene? You can’t keep running from this.

You're hurting yourself."

His words hitharder than | wanted to admit. | bit my lip and tried to look away, but his hand gently caught

my chin, forcingto meet his eyes. They were full of genuine concern for me.

"Look at you," he said quietly. "You're trembling just thinking about him. You say you hate him, but your whole

body reacts when his ncomes up. That's not hate, Selene. That's the bond pulling you."

Tears filled my eyes again. "Then how do | stop it, Daniel? How do | stop feeling this way about a man who ruined

my life?"

"You reject him," he said simply. "It's the only way to break it."

| shook my head, my voice barely a whisper. "You don’t know him like | do. Frederick won't accept a rejection."

Daniel frowned, concern etching deeper into his face. "Then you have to be smart about it. Find a way he won't

see coming."

His words planted a seed of fear and determination inat the stime. Maybe he was right. Maybe | needed

to end this bond before it destroyedcompletely. But how could I reject someone who had already taken so

much control over my heart?

| brushed away the tear that escaped and whispered, more to myself than to Daniel, "He'll never letgo."

Daniel placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. "Or you don’t want to let go of him."
