Selene's POV:
It was another sleepless night for me.
The thought of attending the banquet tomorrow gave me mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I was really looking forward to seeing Dexter again.
On the other hand, knowing that this banquet was the anniversary celebration of Arthur's succession to the position of Alpha made me uncomfortable.
It was like a celebration of my father's death.
Arthur had only risen to his current position after killing my father and destroying our family.
He was the person I hated most in the world, but I had to swallow my hatred and disgust while watching him swagger around like a winner.
I really didn't know how I was going to face him and Ella tomorrow.
Their invitation to me was obviously not as innocent or generous as it seemed.
They just wanted to take this opportunity to rub it in my face and maybe set a trap for me.
