*** Moments Before ***

… Before Magdeline returned to the royal dining hall.

​​

Run, Run, Run … were the only things Selene could think of.

Since the return of her memories, Selene has the choice to reconnect her mate bond with the Alpha King.

Due to the absence of her spirit wolf, she could not reconnect the broken bond.

While Selene was deep in her thoughts, Melody was holding unto Lucas tightly.

Suddenly, out of nowhere … Magdeline blocked their path.

Lucas and Fluffy growled at the sight of Magdeline.

"Guys, calm down! She is not an enemy!" Selene tried to calm the huge wolves down.

"I will only let you pass through if you tell me where you are heading." Magdeline told Selene.

"Why should I tell you? So, that you can tell the Alpha King about my location." Selene's retort.

"Selene … you should know by now … there is no safer place for you other than here in the royal palace. Many dark creatures will go after you! You are the next chosen one …"

Selene had no time for lectures from the Grand White Witch.

"You are wrong, Lady Magdeline! There is another place I can be safe. A place which I can call home. Unlike here, infested with annoying presence. I do not want to be reminded of my mate marrying someone else and having a child with her. I may not be killed by the dark creatures but my mate will kill me with heartache."

She continued explaining to Magdeline.

"Right now, I would prefer leaving this place and return to somewhere I could call my own home."

"So … if you do not step away from my path. Then, you will truly see the power of the next chosen one. I can easily take you out right now but I prefer keeping you alive. For my best friend's sake." Selene threatened Magdeline.

Upon hearing Selene's response from Magdeline's query and concerns.

The Grand White Witch understood where Selene will be heading.

Stepping aside, giving Selene the pathway for her to continue in running along with her companions.

'Most likely, you are heading back to the Golden Moon City …' Magdeline watched Selene escape as fast as she could with her companions.

'I guess … it would be better if you stay there for a while.'

Then Magdeline could sense her presence being needed back in the royal dining hall.

…

…

-Moments After-

Reaching the borders of the royal palace.

Unconscious body of werewolves were scattered around the ground.

Selene saw the bodies of unconscious werewolves lying around the ground.

"Is that you Booth?" Melody recognized Booth immediately.

But she could not get off the back of Lucas.

Instead of letting Melody get off, Lucas remained on his wolf form.

Preventing Melody to get off from his back.

Her excited prompted Lucas to feel jealous over the excitement of Melody in seeing Booth.

His growl made Selene notice the sudden jealousy of her older brother towards Booth.

"Melody, I am sorry but you have to remain at the back of Lucas. We will be moving soon, anyways!" Selene made an excuse for Melody to remain at the back of Lucas.

A satisfied look on Lucas upon hearing his younger sister inform Melody about remaining on his back.

His younger sister approached Booth.

Astonished at the scene in front of them.

"Booth, what did you do?" Selene expressed her surprise.

"Don't worry! I did not kill them. I just knocked them out with my anti-magic weapon. Some werewolves were patrolling the borders and they just lunged at me when I refused to leave the premises." Booth reasoned out with Selene.

"Of course! They are the royal patrols of the werewolf kingdom. Assigned to patrol around the borders of the royal palace. Haven't I told you to remain hidden?"

"Well … I got bored and impatient with waiting."

"Anyways, we need to keep moving! Are you sure, you do not want to return to your family?" Selene asked.

"Yes! I told you already … I am going, wherever you go!" Booth had his resolve to follow Selene wherever she decided to go.

"But …"

"No but's!"

"Your grandfather will look for you!"

"Well … same with you and Melody! You cannot just disappear with Melody. I think you have forgotten that … Melody is the president's daughter. And you are his overseer." Booth reminded Selene about the fact regarding the Vitre Family.

"Oh, shoot! Yeah … I totally got distracted about wanting to see Alcyd and getting Melody back."

Selene furthered, "Maybe, Lucas can drop Melody back in her penthouse. To avoid any worry from President Tony. Then I will just make some random excuse to why I cannot return for a while."

"Hell, NO! I am also going with you. You are not leaving me with my strict and boring father! I am tagging along with you." Melody refused to comply with Selene's plans.

"But …"

"No but's as well."

"Urgh!! You two are annoying! Fine! If that's the case … I will just have to find a way in explaining to President Tony what happened and make some random excuse why the two of you can't return. Maybe he will believe me if I made some excuse related to the outcome of our failed raid. I just hope he would not send some hunters to fetch us." Selene conveyed her plans to her companions.

Both Melody and Booth released a satisfied smile on their expression.

"Time to go back home!"

Selene started to summon a portal to the Golden Moon Pack.

"Gather around! We are leaving!"

A bright circle with ancient writings appeared on the ground, beneath Selene.

…
