Selene couldn’t stop her sobbing, no matter how she tried. Because of what happened, all the terrible memories she had been keeping inside burst forth, flashing before her eyes.

All those walls she’d put around her heart to protect herself turned into dust, crumbling into nothingness in an instant.

Dark silhouettes of people surrounding her, all of them with those frowning angry faces, shouting, screaming, and throwing insults at her.

‘You’re nothing but bad luck.’

‘Don’t ever show your face here again!’

‘Are you crazy?’

These were but a few of those words repeatedly ringing inside her head, things she had thought she had forgotten, buried deep within the confines of her subconscious.

    Penelope’s smile reached to her ear, radiating such a joyous shine it could blind. Of course, she remained unaware of it, even though she was looking at herself in front of the large, oval mirror. She stops brushing her hair, hearing the doorknob rattling.

Though walking shakily, she kept her dominant composure even if she was hunching and her steps slow. Penelope straighten, shifting her body to turn to her, along with putting on a straight face.

She was gasping when she finally arrived at the Vondeer’s manor, sweating like crazy, as she stopped to catch her breath. After taking a stone path, she pauses near a clearing. She scanned the surroundings, checking if there were any guards lurking around. Thankfully, there wasn’t any at that time, same as when she left. She quickly moves to the nearby bushes to hide before fishing out the piece of paper from her pockets. It was the one Lucas gave her. She traced a finger on the map to let her eyes scan it faster. “All right, I can do this.” She says after taking in a deep breath. Though she didn’t understand the purpose and reason for the stuff written there, she did not dare question it, since she did not know anything about the paranormal stuffs she was dealing with. All she could do was trust Lucas’ words regarding her aunt’s the medicine. From there, she headed to her left

His shadow covered her like a protective blanket, giving her assurance.The young alpha growled at those around him, silencing the congregation and making them look away.“I think we’ve scared her enough. It’s obvious she doesn’t know anything, so I think it’s better if we leave her alone.”Lucas’ tone was direct, low, and serious.The elders turned to one another, giving each other meaningful glances, before nodding in agreement, like the exchange was how they talked.“Still, we can’t make the same mistake as before.”The female elder muttered, heaving a deep sigh as she looks at them.“I suggest we put the girl back under one of the main pack’s supervision.”The elder with a long beard continued, a smirk forming underneath those long, silvery white facial hair.“Agreed.”The one sitting in the middle seconded the notion, causing ano
