~~~ Third Person POV ~~~

After Selene successfully escaped from the hospital with her guardian wolf, fluffy, they both ran into the woods to make it easier for them to cover their tracks without being followed by the Elite Executive Officers of the Alpha Prince.

​​

Selene knew that she will cause so much uproar with her mate who is an Alpha Prince especially she knows too well how would mates react when their other half is disobeying their instructions.

Fluffy is bolting as fast as he can while Selene is holding on tightly on his back. This time around, he is more confident in speeding it up since Selene is no longer injured and has regained her strength. He leaped and stretched as far as his limbs can get. Selene could feel the wind brazing against her skin as they try to get far as they can.

She knows she has to finish the mission that she signed up for or else she will be having a failed mission on her record as a mercenary.

So far, she has a flawless record of ZERO failed mission. All missions she signed up for were all success. There is a reputation that she needed to preserve and maintain. She knows that this mission will allow her to elevate her mercenary status as a Class-S mercenary.

There are 4 classifications of Mercenaries:

Ranking Lowest - {Rookie}

Ranking Third - {Specialist}

Ranking Second - {Class A}

Ranking Highest - {Class S}

Being a Class- S mercenary will help her a lot in getting better missions and gathering better Intel about her older brother who is currently nowhere to be found. Seems like her own connections and efforts are still too low to even have a decent lead about her older brother.

Her reputation as the Silver Assassin that can kill her targets, which are mostly vampires and especially the feral ones, with complete success is very much known to employers who hire mercenaries for missions that has to do with vampires.

Though, so far, all her missions had no clues and whatsoever link in finding her older brother Lucas.

That is why she kept taking mercenary missions, specifically which deals with vampires in order to keep finding any trails or clues about her older brother's whereabouts.

Lucas was even smart enough, not leaving anything that may be used to locate him.

When Laquisha was still alive, she told Selene that Lucas left with all of his things. Leaving no remains or anything that can be used in tracking him or an attempt to use a locating spell in finding him.

Laquisha told Selene, that Lucas left without asking permission which means Lucas was so adamant about leaving and trying to go after for something.

Lucas just turned 16 and got his wolf to appear which made him more confident to do whatever he was planning to do on his own without bringing Fluffy with him.

Selene could still vividly remember the Last words which Lucas told her.

Lucas vowed to find those responsible for their parents' death. He may never have shared all he knows about the demise of their parents or their own origin. She always has thought, maybe Lucas was only trying to protect her from all the looms and horror of their past.

The sky was so clear right above Selene and Fluffy, as they are surrounded by trees within the enchanting forest.

Selene's thoughts and worries were too loud that her wolf can clearly hear it. She could not stop reminiscing her memories and frustrations that she has over her older brother.

'If only you will allow our mate to help you. Obviously, he has more connections and a larger network of information for us to access in order to find your older brother compared to the employers and missions that you think will help to find your older brother.'

Selene can hear her wolf, Sylvia, nagging her about how absurd of an idea it is to run away from their mate.

Sylvia kept telling Selene how much they are making a huge mistake in running away and escaping from their mate. She kept harping on Selene about the disadvantage of being on their own compared to being around their mate and allowing their mate to help them in searching for her older brother, Lucas.

'Are you even listening to me? or am I just talking to myself here?' Selene wanted to roll her eyes but before even she got the chance to do so, her wolf nagged her way through Selene's mind and will not stop letting her have it.

'Do not go dismissing me and rolling your eyes! you know I have a point and Fluffy here is so foolish to even go along with your plans. If only I can take over now, I will throw him aside for even tolerating your stubbornness and dangerous plans.'

Selene started replying to her spirit wolf before the argument with her get heated.

'Will you just give me some peace of mind Sylvia. I do not have time for your nagging and constant negativity regarding my plans.'

'Oh me! negative? I am just telling you WHAT IS best for both of us and WHAT IS NOT good for us!'

'More of like GOOD FOR YOU! because I never agreed that having a mate is good for me. You know where I stand regarding the mate thing. I never considered it as a good thing so do not jump to conclusions that it is best for me as well.'

Fluffy could feel Selene getting intense as she held tighter on his fur. It made him worry so he took a quick stop and looked at Selene.

Selene suddenly realized that she made Fluffy worry with all her mumbling and sudden intensity which was rising and oozing out of her. She immediately pushed Sylvia deep inside her mind and started to pat Fluffy's fur affectionately to express her endearment towards fluffy as if treating Fluffy as a dear pet more than as a guardian.

Though she considers Fluffy's action like her guardian but it does not mean she could not treat fluffy like an adorable pet.

"Do not worry Fluffy! I am okay. We will be okay and we will find my older brother Lucas soon. I know you miss him too!" Selene trying to calm the worry of her guardian wolf, Fluffy.
