Moments before the sudden appearance of Selene, the Alpha King was feeling uneasy already.

His body heat was unusually discomforting.

​​

Loosening his tie.

But nothing would make his discomfort disappear.

Something was off and he could not determine what it was.

The same with Laura, there was something bothered her which she could not determine as well.

Masking her unexplainable worry and concern. Due to her supernatural instinct, there was something off in the air.

*** In The Present ***

"Oh my God, is that Selene?"

"The mate of the Alpha King!"

Some of the remarks being thrown around.

Confusion …

Shock …

And astonishment filled the royal dining hall.

Instantly, the royal siblings went to their respective tasks.

Princess Shiveena alerted the royal guards to control the situation because tension was starting to arise between the Alpha of Jade Pack and their Alpha King.

Prince Ivan and Prince Ranku decided to provide protection for Selene just in case for any surprise attack that may be aimed towards Selene.

While Prince Alarick headed to diffuse the tension between Alpha Alister and his younger brother.

Or else … the wedding dinner may turn into a blood bath.

If the royal siblings went to their respective tasks, the supporters and siblings of Laura went to her rescue as well.

Aside from Alpha Alister, blocking the path of the Alpha King.

Amber went running to her sister's side.

"Where are you going? You are already married to my sister!" Alpha Alister blocked the path of King Alcyd.

"Are you asking for a death wish?" King Alcyd growled in anger.

His eyes turned beastly and gleamed brightly from its anger.

Not only Selene has returned.

'Should we kill this bastard?' a familiar voice in his head that has been absent for a long time.

'Kratos?'

'Let's talk later! Focus on our mate and remove this blockhead from our path.' The spirit wolf of the Alpha King has returned. After years of absence and disappearance, Kratos re-emerged from long silence.

Before King Alcyd could do something reckless, Prince Alarick locked both arms of his younger brother.

"Alcyd! Alcyd! You are in the presence of other Alphas … Keep your composure! Harming the Alpha of Jade Pack will only ignite a war between wolf packs. So calm yourself down!" Prince Alarick used all his strength in stopping the Alpha King from committing a murder.

At the same time, the Beta of the Jade Pack and some other guests tried to stop the Alpha of Jade Pack from engaging with the Alpha King.

"Have you lost your mind, Alpha Alister?"

A great tension between two men.

"Guards! Remove the uninvited guests! NOW!!" Laura demanded loudly.

The attention was now focused on the command of Laura.

Indeed, the tension just escalated far from their own expectations.

Upon hearing the command of Laura, not even a single royal guard dared to apprehend or approach Selene.

Laura witnessed the defiance of the royal guards towards her demand and direct order.

"Why would they do so?" Selene pointed out.

Unrelenting to the rising tension.

Every word coming from her sparked more tension within the royal dining hall.

Freddie and Lucas were impressed with Selene's boldness.

"I AM THE WIFE OF THE ALPHA KING! WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

King Alcyd wanted to cut Laura's head off at the moment for challenging Selene in front of everybody.

"You may have become his wife, I remain to be the Luna of the Golden Moon Pack! So, why would the royal guards follow your command?" Selene retorted Laura's sudden command.

Clenching her fist in anger.

"Sister, Keep your grace! There are many eyes around. This is not the right place for you to lose control. You have a child to think of." Amber convinced her sister to control herself.

Everything has become an open area of tensions.

One side to the other.

"Do not worry! I won't stay long … I am only here to fetch someone important. And of course, greet you both, congratulations!" Selene clarified her intention of appearing.

Mocking the entire celebration.

"S-Selene!" King Alcyd looked at the direction of Selene.

Despite hearing the call of her mate, Selene remained unmoved and fierce.

"Where is Melody? We will leave immediately once we get her back!"

"What?" King Alcyd was confused with Selene's words.

He thought that Selene crashed the wedding dinner because of him.

Because Selene may have missed him too.

The way King Alcyd longed for her.

Hearing from her to have another motive rather than … showing some excitement or desire to be reunited with him.

There she was … looking unfazed and distant from him.

Right exactly when they locked eye-contact.

Her eyes could tell it all …

All the emotions she would want to express.

King Alcyd felt the shame and pain from committing all those reckless decisions.

The mere fact, he got Laura pregnant.

From his position, King Alcyd wanted to beg for her forgiveness in failing her.

But she left immediately after Prince Ivan disclosed the location of Melody.

…

…

Selene refused for anyone to escort her aside from Freddie and Lucas.

"Enjoy the dinner, everyone!" Selene left the royal dining hall with everyone disarray and shocked.

As soon as the doors of the royal dining hall closed, a tumultuous reaction could be heard from everyone inside.

…

"Selene … why did we have to go inside? Fluffy is with Melody. We didn't have to ask them about Melody's location." Lucas mentioned to Selene regarding his confusion.

Freddie was surprised to know that there was no need for them to create such a scene in the royal dining hall.

But they both understood when Selene gestured for them to stop.

"I know … but … I just wanted to see him soooo badly …" Tears fell as she released all those emotions she contained while pretending to be tough.

Lucas covered his sister and gave her comfort that she needed at that time.

And Freddie realized …

How much Selene loved Alcyd …
