#Chapter 120 - Telling Selene
Bastien
Selene’s silken voice is floating out of Lila’s bedroom in a steady stream, weaving fairy tales from thin air to carry our pup off to sleep. It’s already dark out, the winds of autumn ushering in the night earlier and earlier as we near the equinox, and confusing my young daughter’s internal clock to no end.
Moving to lean in the doorway, I spy my mate stretched out on Lila’s twin bed, our pup snuggled beside her with heavy eyelids. Her little mouth stretches wide with frequent yawns and I know it won’t be long before she passes out completely.

The rainbegins soon after, fat droplets bursting onto the forest floor and transformingdirt and leaf litter to thick, sticky mud.Annoyance flits through my mind.

It will be only too easy for Bastien to follow me, and I do notwish to be caught.The worst part about my mate’s hurtful words is that weboth know they’re undeniably true.

Bastien“Daddydo you have ta go?” My pup’s tiny voice cuts me right to the core. Hasthere ever been a worse feeling than this? Than leaving my family and notknowing if I’ll ever see them again? Than knowing that if I can’t fix thingswith Blaise, their lives might be forfeit, and I won’t be around to protectthem?“Iwouldn’t be going unless I absolutely had to, Lila bean.” I explain earnestly,cupping her tiny cheek in my hand.“Whenyou come back?” Lila questions mournfully, reaching towards me with both armsopen.“Assoon as I can.” I promise, pulling her out of Selene’s arm and into my own.“Nextweek?” She asks, her adorable face so hopeful I want to cancel my mission justto make her happy.

ArabellaLookingaround my opulent suite in the Calypso pack house, I decide that a girl couldget used to this kind of pampering. The rooms are ten times nicer than myapartment back in Elysium, and even bigger than the private apartment Bastienrenovated when he married the halfling. Blaise must like me very much indeed toafford me such an honor, though I am a bit disappointed he hasn’t invited me toshare his bed yet.Eitherway, I have to revel in the knowledge that I’m living better here in Tartarusthan Bastien ever will in Elysium. In fact, if Flynn’s memory wasn’t driving meforward, I’m so content here that I might consider abandoning my mission.Blaise can offer me more wealth and power than I ever dreamed of possessing,but no amount of luxury can avenge my brother’s death.Still,it’s tempting to gi

SeleneIn the days since Bastien’s urgent call to get out of the house, my life has been turned completely upside down. After the sentries swept the house and cordoned off all the escape passages, we were finally allowed to return, but no amount of bodyguards or security measures can erase the knowledge that somebody wants to hurt my family.The thought of Bastien traveling alone in the Calypso territory with assassins lurking around every corner makes my skin crawl.

My pup is running towards me before I can even close the door behind me, her tiny feet drumming a rapid pitter patter across the wood floors.“Mommy!”“Hello sweet pup.” I croon, gathering her in my arms and rocking her gently from left to right. “What’s the matter?”“Gamma wouldn’ let me have cookie!” She cries pitifully.“I said not before you eat your lunch,” Odette reminds her kindly, dropping a kiss to my cheek and whispering in my ear,“You’ve definitely got your hands full. I’m sorry I dismissed you earlier.”“Don’t be silly, I didn’t take it that way.” I assure her, turning to Lila. “I’ll tell you what, little bean. I’m starving, why don’t we
