Chapter 126 Selene ཁ 58 55 Vouchers My eyes widened. I blinked, and blinked again. I even had to blink a third time as I stared at the man in front of me before the truth finally sank in, this wasn't my imagination. He was real. A soft gasp slipped from my lips. "What the hell am I seeing...?" I murmured under my breath. How could two people look so much alike? I stared at him again, completely ignoring the way everyone around me had gone stiff with fear at the sight of him. My gaze locked onto his face, onto those sharp, lazy, unreadable eyes that felt far too familiar.
They were just like the alpha's, bored on the surface, but lethal underneath. Who was this man? And why did he look so much like Alpha Damien? If Damien were younger, this is exactly what he would look like. The same build, the same aura, the same presence that made the air feel heavier just by standing there. If Damien had a son... this would be him. My breath hitched. Wait. Someone had called him prince. My heart skipped violently. If this man was a prince, then that meant only one thing. He was Alpha Damien's son. I gasped again, this time loud enough for people nearby to flinch.
"You've got to be kidding me," I muttered. Several heads snapped in my direction. "Is he crazy?" someone whispered. "Does he want to die?" another hissed. "Some people really do have a death wish..." I didn't hear any of it. My thoughts were spiraling too fast. The alpha has a son? A grown son? One that looks around my age? To make it worse, another thought struck me so hard it felt like a blow to the chest. What if he has a mate? My heart dropped. 14.40 IN 58 Chapter 126 Bb voucher What if Alpha Damien already had a mate?
What if the man who had touched me, who had held me, who had slept with me belonged to someone else? A strange, bitter feeling twisted in my chest. I didn't even know what emotion it was, anger at him, or anger at myself. I had never been a homewrecker in any of my past lives. I refused to become one now. If Damien truly had a mate, then I would never let him near me again. I didn't know if I was saying that for myself or for Mira, but the words rang just as firm in my mind. Mira, for once, stayed silent. I lifted my gaze back to the man.
He was still watching me, his eyes never leaving mine, as if he were dissecting me piece by piece. His posture was far too relaxed for someone with that kind of authority, as if the world simply moved at his pace. Then, without a word, he looked away. He glanced at the men beside me once, then turned and walked toward the arena wall. People parted for him instantly, stepping aside as if guided by instinct. The officials didn't even dare ask him for an entry fee. The woman following him trailed behind obediently. I watched him disappear into the arena.

"Why is everything always so complicated," I sighed quietly to myself. I shook my head again, more firmly this time, as if I could physically force those thoughts out of my mind. Thinking about that annoying demon, and the equally annoying man who reminded me so much of him, was a waste of time. I had far more important things to focus on right now, things that actually mattered. I rolled my neck slowly, feeling the tension ease from my shoulders, then let out a long breath. "Alright, alright," I said lazily, my voice calm as I looked at the men standing in front of me.
"Let's get this over with. All of you should come at me at once. It'll be much easier that way, I won't have to waste time beating you one by one," For a brief moment, no one spoke. They stared at me. Then they glanced at each other, clearly unsure of what to do, their confidence wavering as doubt crept into their expressions. One of them coughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck as if suddenly uncomfortable. "L-let's... let's just go and wait in line," he said, his voice lacking the bravado he had earlier. I tilted my head slightly, genuinely confused.
"Huh?" Another man quickly stepped in, nodding as if this was the most reasonable decision in the world. "Y-yeah... if we don't enter soon, our leader will get angry. We shouldn't waste time here like this." The others immediately agreed, murmuring under their breaths as they turned away, clearly eager to put as much distance between themselves and me as possible. As they passed, the man whose wrist I had been holding earlier slowed his steps. He leaned closer, his mouth hovering near my ear as his voice dropped into a venomous whisper. "This isn't over," he said darkly.
"You'll pay for humiliating us like this. You might make it into the arena, but you're not getting out alive." 12:28 Tue, Feb 3 M... Chapter 126 He pulled back with a smug smirk, clearly pleased with himself, before walking away. 35 Voucher I watched his retreating figure with unreadable eyes. His threat didn't stir anything inside me. The on' thing that truly lingered in my mind was that prince. Even without seeing him fight, I knew it with certainty, he was strong. Strong in the same way as the opponents who had once pushed me to my limits in past lives.
He was young now; I wondered how strong he would become in the future. The fact that everyone immediately backed off the moment he found them troublesome, without him needing to raise his voice or lift a finger, only confirmed it. That man was dangerous. Normally, someone like that would have excited me. I would have wanted to test myself against him, to clash and see who would stand at the end. But suspecting that he might be Damien's son made my instincts scream at me to stay away. I shook my head once more. Focus, Selene. Turning away, I returned to my original place in line.
The man behind me frowned slightly, clearly displeased at the delay, but he didn't say anything. Just as I stepped forward, someone suddenly squeezed into the space in front of me. I looked down, and paused. It was the girl I had helped earlier. I raised an eyebrow slowly. Instead of facing the front like everyone else, she was facing me, clutching that oversized sword tightly to her chest as if it were the only thing anchoring her in place. "What are you doing?" I asked, my tone flat. She gave me a nervous smile. "Lining up." "I know that," I replied lazily.
"But why are you standing in front of me, staring at me like a lost kitten that just found its mother?" Her face immediately turned bright red, and she hugged the sword even tighter. "I-it's not like that..." she stammered. "I just want to hire you." I paused, genuinely caught off guard. "What?" She nodded quickly, determination flickering behind her nerves. "Yes. I want to hire you as my bodyguard. Even though you didn't really fight, I can tell you're strong. And once we're inside, those men will definitely bother me again, and you too, since you helped me." She looked at me hopefully.
"So.... we might as well stick together." 12:28 Tue, Feb 3 Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
