I watched as a male omega handed Zander a T-shirt. He nodded in appreciation and walked off with Maddox, who had also finished his session for the day. Blair turned to me with a mischievous smile, her eyes glinting with playful intent.

"So, how was it?" she teased, winking at me knowingly.

"What? Your alpha brother is a good trainer, you know," I said, trying to dodge her question, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks.

"Oh, yeah?!" she laughed. "Tell me something about it!" Her grin widened as she shrugged nonchalantly, clearly enjoying my flustered state.

Before I could muster a reply, Anne's voice cut through the moment like a sharp blade. "Selena, how shameless you are!"

Startled, I turned to find her standing behind me, her face contorted with fury.

"What's wrong, Anne?" I asked with genuine concern, though her anger made me uneasy.

"What's wrong?" she spat, her scowl deepening. "What's wrong?! Huh?" Her teeth clenched as she stepped closer. "You snatched my fiancé, and now he's can

    My heart pounded so loudly in my chest as I recalled my vision of Zander as the Dark Alpha.Oh, Moon Goddess, why this confusion? Why was I being tested so relentlessly by life? I closed my eyes, trying to focus, hoping to summon another vision—something, anything—that could offer clarity. But nothing came. Was it something that happened on its own? Could I not control it?Oh Goddess! How much more did I have to learn about this new identity, this new life? And yet, here I was, burdened with a mountain of problems to face all at once. What was I supposed to do?I rubbed my head in frustration just as the study door was yanked open, and Zander’s commanding presence filled the room.“What are you doing here, mate?” His deep, threatening voice sent a shiver down my spine as his piercing eyes locked on mine, each step he took toward me brimming with raw dominance."I came here to learn more about your pack, Alpha," I replied softly, breaking eye contact and looking away so he wouldn’t see

    Austin was burning with a fever! Knowing my baby boy was in pain, I couldn't stay there any longer. Before Zander could say anything, I dashed toward Austin's room. As soon as I opened the door, his desperate cries echoed through the air."Mom! Mom!"Anne and Blair were sitting beside him, trying to comfort him, but their efforts were in vain. Anne gently caressed his forehead, but he angrily shrugged her hand away.“No! I want my mom!” he wailed.My eyes stung with tears, and all my resolve shattered seeing him in such a condition, needing me more than ever. I couldn’t stop myself. Nothing and no one could hold me back now.“Yes, sweetie,” I whispered, my lips trembling as I rushed to his side. Blair got up from the bed, giving me space to sit beside my son.“Mom is here,” I assured him, placing my hand on his head. Leaning, I kissed his forehead, silently praying in my heart. The moment I touched him, I broke into tears, feeling the intense heat radiating from his tiny body—my baby

    The doctor confirmed that Austin’s fever had gone down and he was fine now. After having a bowl of soup, Austin finally fell asleep, exhausted from crying and battling the fever earlier.I stayed by his side, singing a soft lullaby and gently caressing his head until I was sure he was deeply asleep. Once satisfied, I pulled the blanket up to his chin, kissed his forehead tenderly, and began to leave the room.“Selena,” Zander’s voice stopped me as I turned. He had been sitting quietly in a chair, watching us the entire time. “Are you leaving?”“Uh, yeah. Austin’s asleep now, so I think I should go,” I murmured hesitantly.“Wait,” he said, getting up from his chair. “Come with me. I need to show you something.”Curious, I followed him as he walked to Austin’s cupboard. He opened it and began searching through its contents with purpose.I stood behind him, watching with growing curiosity. “What are you doing?” I finally asked, tilting my head.“Just give me a minute,” he replied without

    “What brings you here so urgently, High Priestess?” I asked, my voice laced with the authority of the Alpha King of the North.“I have come to take Selena back to the Lunar Realm,” she replied calmly, her tone betraying no emotion.“That’s not possible. She is my mate and she will stay with me,” I stated firmly, my eyes narrowing as I observed her closely. For a brief moment, her composed face shifted, revealing a flicker of something unspoken—a different emotion.Ignoring me entirely, she turned toward Selena, her focus unwavering. “Selena, you have stayed here longer than necessary. Your people need you. Please return with me.”Her words were polite, but the command in her tone was unmistakable, making my frown deepen. No matter that Selena was her daughter, the High Priestess had no authority over her. Selena wasn’t just anyone—she was the queen of the Lunar Realm, a goddess in her own right. But Selena remained calm, her gaze steady as she looked at the sleeping Auston. She gestur

    *Selena*“Selena, can we talk in private?” Mother demanded, her tone firm but not unkind. I understood her urgency. With Zander’s commanding alpha aura practically suffocating the space, it was hard for anyone to stand their ground, let alone defy his orders.I saw Zander’s jaw tighten, a clear sign he was about to deny her again. Before he could say something that would spark another round of arguments, I spoke up quickly.“Mother, why don’t we go to the garden and talk there? I can show you my favorite flowers and plants,” I suggested with a smile, keeping my tone light. Zander couldn’t really object to that without seeming unreasonable, and all he could do was let out a resigned sigh.“Austin’s asleep,” I added, turning to Zander. “Why don’t you rest for a bit too? I’ll be back soon.” Without waiting for any objections, I took Mother’s hand and led her toward the pack house’s beautiful garden.The vibrant colors of the flowers and the fluttering butterflies instantly lifted my mood

    Where was he going like this? Was he hiding from someone? I had never seen him dressed like that—heck, I’d never even seen him walk like that! Something about it felt off, like it didn’t fit the scenario at all.I got up quickly and left the royal garden. He was navigating through the pack’s forest, and I followed him, my curiosity overriding my better judgment. But as I trailed him, I lost sight of him in the maze of trees. Stopping in the middle of the forest, I tried to figure out where he could have gone. Then, I felt it—a presence behind me. Before I could fully turn to see who it was, a pair of hands grabbed me from behind.“Are you stalking me, mate?” a low growl rumbled in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.“Zander?!” I asked, frowning as I tried to process his sudden appearance. “What are you doing here?”He released me, and I quickly spun around to face him. My eyes scanned him, noting how different he looked today. “It’s my pack, and I can do whatever I want,” Zander

    I shook my head before turning to her and asking, “Where is Zander?”“He would be in the pack house,” she said, but she sounded uncertain. “Why? What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” I replied, waving my hand dismissively. “Why did you come here?” I asked, suddenly realizing her presence here was unexpected.“Oh, yeah, I forgot,” Blaire said, lightly slapping her forehead. “Austin woke up, and he wasn’t eating dinner, so I came here to look for you,” she answered.But I wasn’t entirely convinced by her answer. “Here? How did you know I’d be here?” I asked, raising my brows in question.“When I didn’t find you in the pack house, I asked one of the omegas, and she told me she saw you heading toward the lakeside while she was carrying herbs from the royal garden. Then I searched everywhere until I found you here,” she explained, and now it made sense.“But who was that man you were talking about?” she asked again, her curiosity evident.I hesitated for a moment before shrugging it off. “Ah, nothing,

    All traces of sleep vanished as I glared at him with suspicion. He hesitated, and it was clear from his expression that he hadn’t expected me to catch him here.Sensing that he wanted to walk past me and dodge the unspoken questions in my eyes, I quickly got up from my chair and hurried toward him.“Father?!” I blurted out by mistake, and he furrowed his brows, looking at me in confusion. “I mean, Alpha Albert,” I corrected quickly, trying to cover my slip. “Where are you coming from at this late hour?” I asked, watching as an unpleasant expression crossed his face. It was obvious he didn’t like being questioned.“And who are you to question me, by the way?” he snapped sharply, his tone laced with irritation.I sighed, keeping my composure. “I am Alpha Zander’s mate and the Luna of this pack,” I replied firmly, meeting his gaze without flinching.“Dream on, Selena. Only my daughter will be the Luna of this pack, and you will be thrown out,” Alpha Albert declared with such confidence t

    As my heart sank, the lava began to recede, shrinking its perimeter and retreating on its own. The ominous red moons grew smaller, drifting farther away with each passing second. The sacrifice had worked—the prophecy was fulfilled.“Let’s go from here,” the Moon Goddess said, her grip tightening around my hand.“What will happen to the Dark Realm?” God Pyrrhos asked.“The Almighty will assign it to another deity, appointing a new god of destruction,” Goddess Sylvara informed, and the Moon Goddess nodded in agreement.With that, we left the Dark Realm, but my eyes lingered on the spot where my mother had made the ultimate sacrifice to save the universe.I found myself back in the Lunar Realm. The sky had now returned to normal, and the three red moons were nowhere to be seen.“Selena,” the Moon Goddess said, her voice gentle yet firm. “I now entrust you with the Lunar Realm. It is yours to protect and nurture.”“But Goddess, how will I do it alone without the High Priestess?” I asked,

    God Pyrrhos swung his hands aggressively, and the men performing the ritual were hurled through the air, crashing into the far corners of the field.The moment their chanting ceased, I felt Arena surge back into me, our bond reforging like an unbreakable chain. She howled in my mind, her fury mirroring my own.Kaelvor snarled, his hands emanating thick black smoke, ready to strike. “What are you all doing in my realm?” he growled, his voice laced with venom.“I should never have trusted you, Kaelvor,” my mother seethed, her body trembling with fury as she stepped toward me. She knelt, helping me to my feet, her warmth grounding me amidst the chaos.Kaelvor let out a mocking laugh, his crimson eyes gleaming with amusement. “And yet, you were fool enough to do so.”“My mother is no fool!” I roared, my voice ringing through the open field.She wasn’t a fool—she was a mother willing to defy fate itself to save her daughter from prophecy.“But you are foolish enough to believe you could co

    "No!" I screamed, my voice raw with agony. The pain of being torn from Arena was unbearable, searing through me like fire, both physically and emotionally. My soul felt as if it were being ripped apart. Breathing heavily, I fell to my knees as my vision blurred."Stop this right now!" I yelled, struggling against the invisible force holding me in place. But the chanting only grew louder, their dark ritual continuing without pause.Kaelvor watched with eerie detachment, his expression almost bored. "Just a few more minutes, Selena," he said carelessly, as if my suffering was nothing more than an inconvenience. "Then you’ll be free from this pain."That evil god!"You... you will regret this, Kaelvor," I snarled, my voice hoarse from screaming. Arena whimpered in my mind, her pain echoing mine.Kaelvor let out a low, amused chuckle. "Ah? And who will make me regret it?" His golden eyes gleamed with cruel delight. "You?" He shook his head, lips curling into a wicked grin. "Your world wil

    God Kaelvor took me to the Dark Realm with him, and the journey itself was an experience beyond imagination. His realm-traveling ship was unlike anything I had ever seen—crafted from gleaming obsidian and etched with silver runes that pulsed with a faint, rhythmic glow. The air inside was thick with power, a hum of energy that sent shivers down my spine.As we entered the dark realm, I braced myself for an endless void, for a world without light. But instead, we were greeted by a strange sight—there was illumination here, a soft glow from the swirling skies above that bathed the land in hues of violet and deep red. The terrain was rich with bizarre, otherworldly flora that seemed to thrive in the strange light. It wasn’t a barren wasteland, as I’d imagined, but a place that seemed... too alive.The people who walked the cobblestone streets looked anything but normal. They moved with mechanical precision, eyes fixed forward, faces cold and emotionless, as though bound by some unseen fo

    "King Jasper," I murmured, keeping my gaze steady. "What are you going to do with the golden trident?" I asked, trying to read his expression.His face remained unreadable, but his grip on the trident tightened. "This weapon holds immense power," he said. "It can also possess whoever wields it, turning them into its slave. Keeping it in my possession would be too dangerous."I frowned. "Then what do you plan to do?""I can’t just leave it behind for another power-hungry monster to find," Jasper continued. "So I’ve decided to destroy it, rendering it useless. That way, its power will be absorbed back into the universe, never to be claimed again."Hearing his decision, I finally felt at ease. It reassured me that Jasper truly wanted peace among shifters and the entire paranormal world.Jasper placed the trident on the ground and instructed, “Take a few steps back.” We did as he said.He then chanted something in a hushed voice before raising his staff.

    I looked around, my gaze sweeping over Alpha Albert, Cassandra, and Oliver. They stood beside Damon, their expressions unreadable—but not surprised. So Selena was right. They had been waiting for us to split up, hoping to take advantage and defeat us separately.I let out a low chuckle, my eyes locking onto Damon. “I also didn’t expect you to be hiding like a coward,” I taunted, a smirk curling at my lips. “The great ancient Warlock King—turns out he’s nothing but a weakling.”Damon’s eyes flared with fury as he slammed his golden trident against the cave floor, the impact sending a faint tremor through the ground. “Shut up!” he snarled. “I’m not a coward! I was waiting for the right moment.”“Whatever!” I snorted, my gaze flicking to his so-called army. “Yet here I am, alone, standing right in front of you in your own little domain—and you still need your pathetic lackeys to face me.”“We’ll see who’s pathetic,” Damon sneered, lifting his trident, ready to strike. But when I didn’t m

    We followed the signal through the dense forest near the vampire kingdom. The eerie silence of the woods, broken only by the rustling of leaves underfoot, heightened the tension in the air. Suddenly, the signal flickered and then disappeared completely.“What’s going on?” I frowned, glancing at Jasper.His expression darkened as he tapped the tablet screen, trying to revive the lost signal. “She might have entered a magical zone—an area where all technology and external energies become useless.”I exhaled sharply, scanning the surroundings. “Then how do we track her now?”Jasper’s jaw tightened. “That’s exactly why Damon has remained hidden for so long.” He turned to me, his crimson eyes filled with steely determination. “But I’ll figure it out—I have to.”I could sense the weight of his words. Jasper knew as well as I did that Damon wasn’t just in hiding—he was planning something. He would definitely be desperate enough to reclaim a throne that had never rightfully been his. Sudden

    *Zander* Selena had left with the High Priestess, and now the world believed we had broken up. To them, she thought I had betrayed her and wanted nothing to do with me. The deception was working as planned, yet the weight of it settled heavily on my chest.I had instructed my Gamma, Ethan, to keep a close watch on Alpha Albert and Anne, tracking their every move. If our suspicions were right, they wouldn’t be able to hide for long. But for now, all I could do was wait.And waiting was excruciating.Hours had passed, and I still hadn’t heard from Selena. The silence gnawed at me like a slow-burning fire. Lyon paced inside me, restless and agitated. Something felt wrong.

    *Selena*My heart sank at my mother’s sudden appearance. A wave of unease settled in my chest as I took in the solemn expression on her face.“What’s wrong, Mother?” I mumbled, dread creeping into my voice. “Why did you come so urgently to take me back to the Lunar Realm?”She hesitated, her lips pressing together as if choosing her words carefully. “Selena, the day is coming… in three days,” she finally said. “We need to find a way to save the world and to save—” She halted, stepping closer, her warm hand gently clasping mine. There was a softness in her gaze, a deep motherly affection that made my chest tighten. When she spoke again, her voice was barely above a whisper.“You.”A sharp breath left my lips. Three days?!
