[-In the Dungeons-]

Lucas wanted to keep the truth from everyone.

​​

Especially from the Alpha King.

The son of the man who killed his entire wolf pack and … his parents.

Being the mate of his sister did not matter for him because he believed that only pain and misery will be the outcome of their relationship.

He could not bring himself to trust the Alpha King.

No matter how much he would promise to love or care for his sister.

For him, the Alpha King is the son of his enemy and he has no intention to help him be reunited with his younger sister.

Thus, despite his attempt to lie, the chains burned his skin.

After screaming so loud from the pain.

Lucas looked at those standing meters away from him.

"Selene is still alive? And she is currently known as Malia, isn't she?" King Alcyd directly asked.

Lucas lied again, "NO! SHE IS DEAD!"

Once more the chains burned his skin further.

"Arrrrrgghhh!!!!" Lucas screamed further in pain.

-Screams!-

Everyone was …

Speechless …

Astonished …

And taken aback from the realization of the truth …

They knew from that point on … Selene is still alive!

For a moment, everyone tried to grasp the reality of Selene being alive.

All these years of grieving from losing her, she was still alive after all.

Scarlett, Lance, Georgie and the others outside heard their Alpha King uttered.

"So … Selene is still alive!" King Alcyd became emotional.

Chloe never been close to anyone aside from her grandmother and her late mentor, Kassandra.

Selene was one of the very few who made her feel not alone in this world.

Because of her, Chloe felt more connected with others and earned more people in her life.

Making it easier for her to forget the fact … she was left behind by her own parents when she was still an infant.

From having only two special people in her life, she gained more after having Selene in her life.

She may not be blood related, but Selene became like a sister for Chloe.

Upon knowing the shocking truth, that Selene is still alive after all.

A shocking revelation indeed.

The spell casted on the chains made his lies useless and truth was revealed from the attempts of Lucas.

Tears and cries could be heard from Scarlett outside.

Aside from Chloe, Scarlett treated Selene someone like her own sister as well and revered her highly as their Luna.

"Where is she?!?!" King Alcyd demanded answers from Lucas.

"I told you already … she is DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!" Lucas insisted on lying.

The burns from his wrist were getting worse.

His regenerating ability was barely keeping up from the burns he was receiving.

Before King Alcyd could hit Lucas and hurt him further, Prince Alarick stopped his younger brother.

"Alcyd, enough! If Selene is alive … the more you cannot hurt her older brother. Remember, she will not forgive you if you kill him now. You must contain your anger and frustration!" Prince Alarick tried to calm his younger brother.

Amongst those who were around, only Prince Alarick was calm and level headed.

Others were emotional and astonished at the shocking revelation about Selene being alive.

No one saw this coming when they thought that she was already dead.

"Lucas … you owe Chloe so much for killing her father. At least do this for her, to ease her pain. You will never repay her for robbing her the chance for them to have more time together." Prince Alarick plead to Lucas.

Wiping away her tears, Chloe added.

"Tell us, where is she? Where is Selene now? Why is she not with you?"

Lucas became tired from lying pointlessly.

Silence was his only response.

…

Feeling ashamed and remorse from the evil deeds he has done before.

And for Melody to find out in this way.

He felt ashamed of himself.

For his mate to see the bad version of himself.

Somehow, Melody was surprised to hear Lucas killing someone.

She never thought of him as someone who could do such a thing.

Despite being possessive and impulsive with her, she never thought of him as a murderer.

"Lucas … tell us now! So we can find her and bring her back to where she belongs." Prince Alarick told Selene's older brother.

"Selene do not belong here … Selene deserves to be happy … You only brought more pain and suffering to her." Lucas replied in a lowered voice.

King Alcyd wanted to hit Lucas but his older brother blocked his path and made him stop.

Unexpectedly, Melody spoke in behalf of Lucas.

"In a cold winter night, my father found Selene covered in blood. Not remembering anything about herself. We called her Malia." Melody hesitated at first to share information about Selene.

But assessing the situation, she felt these people cared a lot for Selene and even though she wanted Malia or Selene to be with her.

It was not right to keep someone or the truth hidden if it causes more pain and suffering.

She was not that selfish to do so.

Chloe and the rest were more surprised that Melody knew a lot.

"Melody, No!" Lucas complained.

"They deserve to know. I cannot bear to see you get hurt further. I do not understand my feelings but I feel like being tortured seeing you in pain. And Malia … or Selene … always wanted to know her past. Maybe this will make her finally happy." Malia divulged further.

"You mean … you were with her all these times?" Prince Alarick wondered.

"Yes! We spent most of the time together when she is not in a mission for the hunters." Melody honestly replied.

When they thought surprises of Selene being alive was enough.

Hearing Selene working along with the hunters was another shocking news for them.

"Hunters?" King Alcyd sought for clarification.

Because it was unheard of for any werewolf to work with hunters.
