[-In the royal hospital-]

On the basement floor level, a surging spiritual energy was surrounding Lucas in his hospital bed.

​​

Fluffy was completely in a deep trance, having no control to its own self.

One of the warriors which Prince Alcyd assigned for the basement security asked his fellow warrior.

"Are you not feeling strange suddenly?" said by one warrior.

His fellow warrior replied, "Nope! You are just being paranoid! Are you scared of that guy? He is currently strapped and handcuffed which disables him to use his powers."

"I hope you are right! How I wish we could see how the royal family hosts a party …"

"We will have our own chance but for now … we have to be fully alert and make sure our task is accomplished. Which is securing the area."

They were not aware that Fluffy contains a portion of Lucas' soul.

In order to save Fluffy when it was in the verge of completely dying, Lucas revived Fluffy through transferring the entire light essence of his soul and fused it within Fluffy.

Now, unknown to others, Lucas was doing his best to manipulate light essence of his soul to control the movements of Fluffy.

Lucas may not be able to use his powers and inner strength, but his spiritual energy was not sealed by Susan.

And since no one amongst Prince Alcyd was aware about the death of Kassandra. Only Lucas was aware that the seal on the handcuff around his wrists was no longer existing.

Thus, it will be easier for him to get out once he take a full control on Fluffy.

"Just a little more … We will get out of here with my younger sister and give everyone a hell of a farewell." Lucas uttered while getting closer to implement his plans.

Meanwhile …

[-In the victory party-]

Guests kept gushing and complimenting at the sight of Selene and Prince Alcyd.

As they walk through their way,

"Why did those buffoons let you through? They will get a handful of words from me later." Prince Alcyd whispered.

"Do not blame them, they are not even aware that I am gone …" Selene replied Prince Alcyd while putting a smile on her face.

Both being discreet that they are having their own discussion while walking around.

"What?" a confused tone from Prince Alcyd's words.

"I had my way, I told you already before! You cannot stop me once I set my mind on something." Selene reminded the Alpha Prince of the Golden Moon Pack.

"Unfortunately … you are right! Learning it the hard way." Prince Alcyd had no other way but to agree with Selene.

Then the younger brothers of Prince Alcyd approached the two.

"Hey there, Ranku! Long time no see! I am sorry for taking your brother away from you guys." Selene was naively pointing out things that were truly an issue at the moment between Prince Alcyd and Princess Shiveena.

She was not aware regarding the current tension between the siblings because she had her own personal matters to worry about.

"Do not worry! We will visit you more often soon." Selene smiled radiantly.

"No, it's okay! We understand that he is bound with his responsibilities as a grown man and as your mate. I should be the one saying sorry to you!" Prince Ranku lowered his gaze at the end of his statement.

But Prince Alcyd made a gesture through the look on his eyes that Prince Ranku should not mention about it because he does not want for Selene to worry regarding Persephone.

"What do you mean? Why should you be apologizing to me?" Selene got confused with Prince Ranku's initial words.

Prince Ranku understood what Prince Alcyd wanted to happen so he corrected himself.

"I mean, I should be the one visiting you! But I got busy lately instead." Prince Ranku perfectly corrected himself without any hints of lies.

Prince Ivan interjected between the conversation of his brother and Selene.

"You are truly rocking the dress, honey!" Prince Ivan complimented Selene in front of Prince Alcyd.

After hearing Prince Ivan complimenting Selene and calling her honey, Prince Alcyd became uncomfortable and irritated at Prince Ivan.

"Who you calling honey? You f-- …" Prince Alcyd wanted to insult Prince Ivan but Selene interrupted him.

"Don't you dare insult your younger brother! There is nothing wrong with what he said. Plus, he was the one who helped me out with this dress. Thanks to him … I am have something to wear tonight! It was so difficult to put it on by myself. Great thing you were there to help me wear and zip it for me." Selene was unaware with the implications of her words towards Prince Alcyd.

"You mean he … he … he was there when you were wearing this?" Prince Alcyd started fuming in anger.

"You are not really helping at all Selene …" Prince Ivan nervously pointed out while hiding behind Selene.

Selene finally realized that she was actually making Prince Alcyd's anger worse.

"Look! Look! I was not naked in front of him … He was only there to zip my dress and do my hair for me. That's all … so calm down! You get angry so quickly! Why don't we just enjoy the night can't we?" Selene told her mate and she continued,

"Don't worry … I will pluck anyone's eyes before they see me naked. Okay? I just want to party like what we did in the festival day. Because this problems and family drama making me soooo want to forget that there is tomorrow." Selene jokingly expressed her desire to loosen up for the night while making funny movements.

Beta Garrett and the others who were around them like Prince Ranku were laughing at Selene's candid words and actions.

Her words seems to lighten up everyone around her even the Alpha Prince himself.

From being angry … in an instant Selene made him smile quickly with her words and silly actions.

'Selene truly has a certain way towards our Alpha Prince. Her smile and vibes are contagious. She can light up the whole room if she wants to.' Athena told her mate, Beta Garrett, through their own mind-link.

'That's the power of mate bond for you!' Beta Garrett replied Athena through the mind-link.

A staff member approached Prince Ivan out of a sudden.

"What?!?!? But they should find a replacement!" Prince Ivan exclaimed due to update of a staff member.

Selene and Prince Alcyd became curious at what made Prince Ivan react that way.

"Is there any problem?" Selene asked.

"The singer of the band which the chief of staff hired has lost its voice due to a sudden sickness. They want me to sing but father will not like it if I sing in front of everyone." Prince Ivan explained to Selene.

Both Prince Alcyd and Selene looked at each other.

"NO! NO! NO!" Prince Alcyd informed Selene even without saying anything to him.

"What? I have not said anything yet …" Selene told Prince Alcyd.

"I know that look of yours! Do not go even way beyond Selene. You are taking advantage already the favors I have granted you. You know we have to be careful …" before he could even finish his words.

Selene confirmed to Prince Ivan that she will do it instead.

While she walked away with Prince Ivan, Athena pointed out something to Beta Garrett.

'She can also trigger Alpha Prince easily …' Athena shared to her mate through the mind-link while watching their Alpha Prince clench his fist, containing his own anger.

Even Prince Ranku could not say anything to calm his older brother.

"Athena! Make sure Selene is okay … go accompany her!" Prince Alcyd instructed Athena immediately.

The party was about to start its program.
