[-In the basement floor level-]

The entire basement floor level of the royal hospital was requested by Prince Alcyd to be exclusive only to him and his authorized individuals.

​​

No one could enter without his permission.

Entrance to the basement floor level was sealed by both powerful witches, Kassandra and Susan.

There even warriors from Golden Moon Pack were tasked by Prince Alcyd to secure the area with at least 10 of them.

Led by Caleb.

Everything was quiet and secured. Due to the powerful sealing spells set up by Kassandra and Susan.

Though, Mia was not given the permission to enter as well.

Despite her high ranking position, she was still not given authority. Her complains was shut down by King Viktor because he promised Prince Alcyd with full authority on the royal hospital. As a compromise for the decision to officially declare Prince Alarick as his heir to the throne.

If it was quiet and secured around the basement floor level …

There was a tension rising between siblings … a brother and sister!

"Who would have thought, my own sister will turn her back on me!" Lucas expressed his resentment towards Selene.

Immediately, Selene explained herself.

"That's not true! You should know by now why we have to tie you down! You attacked the royal palace and the Golden Moon Pack." A defensive tone on Selene's voice.

"Because they deserve it!" Lucas firm reply to Selene.

A reaction of disbelief coming from Selene. She could not comprehend the version of Lucas which she was witnessing right now.

"How could you say that? Innocent lives were lost and got hurt, Lucas! This is not like you! And why am I feeling your light essence within Fluffy?" Selene's query was quite difficult to answer for Lucas.

From his resentment, silence echoed all over the room.

"So, you will just ignore my question now?" Selene asked.

Lucas stared at the clear white ceiling of the room.

The room was well ventilated through an installed air-condition and a bright ambiance.

Fluffy whimpered at the rising tension between Selene and Lucas.

Whatever attempts Fluffy made just to stop Selene from confronting her older brother, she continued.

"Will you answer me?!?!" Selene demanded for answer.

"You have too much questions! Let me go here and you will have all your answers." Lucas finally looked at Selene but in a furious and angry manner.

Trying to convince his sister through using her desire for answers as his leverage.

"What happened to you? Why you have changed so much? Are you really the Lucas that I know? Are you really my big brother?" Selene reiterated her disbelief regarding her older brother's attitude.

"I will only tell you. If you are ready to leave and reject your mate." Lucas conveyed the words as if it was easy to do.

"Absolutely not! I will not hurt, Alcyd. Nor leave him!" Selene firmly pointed out to her older brother.

Lucas could not believe as well … the depth of the feelings of his little sister towards Prince Alcyd

"Even if his family caused the death of our parents and the rest of our original wolf pack? Would you still remain by his side?" Lucas revealed out of a sudden.

Shock and a mixture of denial was painted on Selene's face.

"That's not true! If someone has killed innocent lives here, it is you! Tell me … why do you have to go through all this? For what? And why do you have to leave me?" Selene started to become emotional with her words.

Lucas rolled his eyes and was annoyed at the things he was hearing from his younger sister.

"I already told you and you just denied it straight to my face. You are so naive, my little sister!"

"Oh … me naive? Is this how we gonna talk to each other? Hurting each other?" Selene was upset at the way her older brother acting towards her.

She thought in her mind that Lucas was simply venting his dissatisfaction from his restrained condition.

"Just wait … and I will get out of here! I will take you away from these people who brain washed your mind. Into thinking that you can trust your future in the hands of your mate." Lucas was being cryptic with his choice of words.

"There are powerful spells surrounding this room that will prevent you from escaping. Starting with the binding knots and cloth that restricts your power at the moment. So, how will you escape if you are completely helpless?" Selene pointed out.

Then she continued,

"I trust Alcyd not just because he is my mate … but …" Before Selene could finish her words, Lucas finished it for her.

"Because you love him? Is that it?" Lucas was disgusted at the idea of his sister falling in love to the son of the man who ordered the murder of their entire clan and wolf pack.

"Yes, because I love him!" Selene admitted to her older brother.

"You, foolish girl. When I left you, I found my answers and planned for my revenge on them! You cannot love him because his father ordered the annihilation and issued the death warrant of our original wolf pack … including our parents!"

Finally, Lucas revealed a glimpse of the truth about their past which she badly wanted to know.

Selene refused to believe the truth but the way Lucas looked at her straight in the eye and hearing no signs of doubts nor hesitations on his words … she could not accept that Lucas was most likely telling the truth.

The truth about their family's demise.
