[-In The Golden Moon Mansion-]

"Luna!" Oliver exclaimed at the arrival of Selene from her training with Headmistress Elaine.

​​

Since Oliver and Jackson were tasked to track Selene down if she headed to the Golden Moon City.

Now … her location is confirmed.

Jackson glared at their Beta for continuously acting on his own and not letting their Alpha King know such important things.

Firstly, about the new set of defenses and security around the mansion. Including the borders of the territory of the Golden Moon Pack.

Secondly, giving birth of Athena.

Most importantly, their Luna being in the Golden Moon City.

"Jackson! Oliver! It's a great thing to see you both here …" Selene greeted the two.

Though, the thought of Alcyd visited her mind.

"Luna! Why did you leave the royal palace just like that? It was already disappointing for you to let that woman marry our Alpha King. When you have all the right to stop the wedding but you did not. The most disappointing part of all, was when you just left like that." Jackson was direct with his words towards their Luna.

Being the oldest amongst the executive officers of King Alcyd, Jackson had a mature way of seeing things.

Jackson was even older than Beta Garrett.

Hearing him straightforward with his thoughts.

Not holding back with his words.

If it was shocking already to see the two executive officers appear and the sudden return of their Luna, words coming from Jackson became more shocking.

"Jackson!" Oliver reprimanded Jackson.

Beta Garrett could not even reprimand their best tracker.

It was very often for Jackson to express his own thoughts and assert some things.

Lucas was standing beside Selene. He wanted to speak out for his younger sister but Selene gestured for her older brother to remain calm and quiet.

"I had to or else … my actions may stir conflict between other kingdoms. Remember, I am not just your Luna or his mate … I am the next chosen one for the second supreme reign over all the supernatural beings!"

She continued,

"If you only know how much I wanted to be with him. Though, he is also expecting a child with his wife. Do you really want me to ruin a starting family? Orphans like me, my brother … and Garrett … wrecking a family will be the last thing I would want to do."

A deafening silence was everyone's response.

Her words were more stabbing than Jackson's assertions.

Jackson wanted to assert some more things but Selene's genuine feelings gave more impact.

"So … Jackson … will you keep this as a secret from your Alpha King? I do not want to cause any trouble or any conflict with his wife. Kindly pretend that you have not seen me here." Selene requested from Jackson.

Oliver made eye contact with Jackson.

"Fine! But I will tell the Alpha King about Athena's new twins. Expect for him to be upset with you Beta Garrett."

Before Jackson could speak any further, Selene retorted Jackson's remark.

"Why should he be upset? After hearing Garrett's story ... for him to be exiled here …"

Beta Garrett wanted to clarify himself that he didn't mean it as an exile.

"No! What he did was an act of exile towards his Beta. He exiled Garrett, his own Beta! I don't think he should have any right to complain or demand anything from him."

The expression on her face became fierce and intimidating.

Showing her dissatisfaction over the decisions and actions of King Alcyd in regards to his own wolf pack and other personal matters.

…

Oliver tried to break the tension created from the statement of Selene.

"I must say, we are glad to finally see you back and alive … Luna!" Oliver was starting to become emotional but he held back his own emotions.

Just like Oliver, Jackson was holding back his own emotions from seeing their Luna … back and alive.

"Jack, where are you headed now?" Beta Garrett wondered.

"I will be visiting Jane's family after seeing Athena and your new twins." Jackson answered.

The two wanted to ask their Luna further but Selene excused herself due to her exhaustion from her training.

…

Oliver whispered to Jackson, "Nights are going to become darker now. Especially with the two of them being apart from one another."

"We cannot let the Golden Moon Pack suffer from their ordeals." Jackson replied discreetly.

Somewhere far away,

In the wilderness …

Group of hunters were in pursuit of the cursed former Alpha King.

Despite being alone, former Alpha King, Viktor was able to escape from the trap made by Magdeline and President Tony.

Ever since his escape, hunters never stopped pursuing Viktor.

Now, they were finally catching up to him …

The cursed feral wolf lured them deep in the forest.

Upon realizing how deep they got.

The air became colder.

Shadows became thicker.

And the night became darker.

"Everyone, stop!" their captain became wary of the surroundings.

It became clear to them that things just became more dangerous.

"Weapons out! Sharpen your senses!" he continued to command his team members.

…

Silence from the dark night became more haunting …

-Swooosh!-

…

Until … a huge dark wolf lunged at them from the shadows.

Thrice as large from the usual size of werewolves.

"Arghhh!!!"

Screams reverberated all over the forest.

Viktor, the cursed werewolf, was not like any other targets.

His strength and agility were extremely high compared to their previous targets.

Turning them into an easy prey.

Where hunters became the hunted.
