Still in the private room within the castle of King Lucius,

A haunting look was all over the face of Lucas.

​​

Queen Titania knows how dangerous Lucas has become.

It was clear that he was no longer sane and rational to even negotiate with.

There must be a quick and careful approach on handling the current situation.

Consistently, Lucas was surrounded by a dark force that threaten the entire kingdom and even himself.

Though, Queen Titania fears for herself but there was a sympathy towards Lucas because she completely understood that Lucas has only become unstable due to the loss of someone that important.

If the sanity of Lucas was completely gone or totally unredeemable, he would have taken the life of the queen of the fairies right after she tried to put him to sleep but Lucas simply deflected her attempt and still hoped that Queen Titania could help him.

"Queen Titania, I thought you will be able to help me … Why are you not doing anything?" Lucas asked the queen of fairies.

Nervously, the queen of fairies thought of the right words to utter.

Being careful not to trigger or worsen the broken condition of Lucas.

"I am still evaluating the condition of …" Queen Titania tried to let Lucas disclose or share the information about the feral wolf in the bed.

Letting Lucas share or disclose important details would be the best way rather than poking on a very volatile situation.

"Fluffy, his name is Fluffy. After being separated from my parents, Fluffy was there for me."

"I have to know what caused the wound or else I would be using the wrong healing technique." Queen Titania maneuvered her way in knowing what happened and making Lucas process the situation.

In order to know how to solve the situation, the queen of fairies had to know the root cause and the main problem.

Fortunately, Queen Titania's plan worked.

Tears started to fall and Lucas kneeled in front of the deck of the bed.

Overflowing warm tears were covering the face of Lucas as he looked at his own hands before telling Queen Titania everything.

Flashes of the scenario which took place in the battlefield repeated in Lucas' mind.

"When I tried to aim for a fatal blow towards the Alpha Prince of Golden Moon Pack, Fluffy suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And then he was the one got hit instead of that bastard Alpha Prince." Lucas clenched his fist in anger towards Prince Alcyd.

Then Queen Titania finally understood the entire scenario and what caused for Lucas to become mentally and emotionally unstable.

A great loss of someone special could trigger someone to snap like Lucas.

During his breakdown, a certain memory flashed into Lucas' mind.

Ever since he found out that he was a tri-brid from Mia, Lucas researched about mixed bloods and magic behind mixed bloods.

That werewolves with more than 1 mixed blood can perform certain dark magic.

Transferring of soul, he recalled that he never ascended from his witch blood.

If he force his ascension and transfer his light soul in Fluffy's body then it might work.

But there will be one conclusion from this sudden realization of his … He will be choosing to ascend into darkness while transferring every bit of his light magic within Fluffy.

Due to the curiosity of Queen Titania, she could sense from Lucas that there was total mixed emotions coming from him. The queen of fairies wanted to know the reason of the sudden change in Lucas' aura.

She was afraid to use her own ability of telepathy since it has usual bad effects on her defensive magic.

For her, she had to maintain a strong defense and a strong offense. If one of these becomes vulnerable, her ability to function perfectly will be at stake.

As a queen of fairy, she always had to maintain an equilibrium of balance. In order to fulfill her duties to her own people as well.

But at this moment, the queen of fairies had to risk herself because it involves her only trace for the missing next 'chosen one'.

Activating …

Queen Titania finally discovered the intention of Lucas to force himself in ascension and perform a rare magic and soul transfer.

Lucas was also intending to transfer a portion of his soul along with his light essence to Fluffy.

Immediately, Queen Titania wanted to stop Lucas but Lucas created a powerful invisible telekinetic barrier which prevents Queen Titania to even meddle with his plans.

"Lucas this is madness! Forcing your ascension and what you are planning to do is against the law of nature. It will have grave consequences." Queen Titania desperately warned Lucas.

Deep inside Lucas' thoughts,

'No one can truly understand what it feels like to lose those you care about. From now on, I will no longer allow fate take away those I care. If I have to violate laws of nature and whatever crap there is, then I will! Just to keep them alive then I will. If I was too weak before and useless, then now … WATCH ME MAKE MY OWN FATE!' Lucas declared within him before finally performing a forbidden magic.

And

=======================

Prince Alcyd immediately rushed Selene to the hospital.

The future Luna of the Golden Moon Pack was kept in a private room.

Golden Moon Pack's Alpha Prince tightened the security around Selene because of the extraordinary phenomenon happening around Selene.

There were moments that things suddenly float then in few seconds in return back to its original place.

And there were sudden quick shaking of the ground.

"Is Kassandra awake?" Prince Alcyd asked Garrett while sitting beside Selene and holding her hand.

"Currently, she is still unconscious. What she did with you and your spirit wolf was high magic. It will take a day to replenish her own energy." Garrett replied his best friend's query.

He could see him worry for Selene more and a certain regret on his face if he should not have told the truth to Selene.

"She will be okay, Alcyd … You did the right thing! She will not forgive you if you kept an important information from her. It is better to learn from you than find out from someone else. That will be more irreparable compared to the situation you are in right now." Garrett tried to comfort his best friend.

"I do not know, Garrett … Recently, I am not sure anymore if I am doing the right thing …" Prince Alcyd started to show his own vulnerability.

"Do not be like this, Alcyd! You supposed to be strong and tough for everyone … Remember, the entire pack depends on you so you should be strong. Especially during this time of crisis."

"I do not know when or how … But my world has become meaningful and worth living when Selene came into my life … Nothing matters to me anymore, except Selene … I do not want her to go down the path of madness that I fell into before I met her. Because if she does, then I will join her. Whatever happens, I will follow her!"

Garrett could see their Alpha Prince admit his true feelings and vulnerability to his best friend.

But a certain worry was felt by Garrett towards his best friend …

A feeling of an interlude to madness!
