[-In the Royal Palace of Werewolf kingdom-]

When things became darker at night … even in dreams things could become darker as well.

​​

Alone in his own bed …

Sweating …

On heat …

Longing for someone's touch …

Even in his dreams, Selene's smile and touch occupied every bits of it.

Waking up from his own dreams.

Alcyd called out for Selene's name.

"Selene!!!"

Catching his own breath.

His bed sheet wet from his own sweat.

Gladly, he had no shirt on.

His bare chest exposed.

His chiseled features were well-defined.

Thinking about Selene and his complicated relationship with the mother of his first unborn child.

It has been few days since he has instructed Oliver and Jackson for their mission to track Selene down.

Ever since then, he could not get enough sleep from thinking of Selene.

'This is all your fault!' King Alcyd's spirit wolf blamed the Alpha King.

He could not even argue with his own spirit wolf because there was no one to blame with his current situation but himself.

'I have no time to argue with you.' King Alcyd's reply to his spirit wolf.

He furthered, 'By the way, where were you all these years? I wouldn't have committed these stupid decisions of mine if only you were around to remind me.'

There was a long silence before his spirit wolf responded.

…

…

'What would you prefer? Me taking over and going completely savage or let you handle it on your own? When we lost our link and bond with our mate, the impact was more severe for the spirit wolves. Because unlike our partners or hosts, the existence of the spirit wolves becomes more dependent on their mates once their mating process has been completed.'

'Up until now … I want to understand and know … what Selene did or what happened to her that caused for our link and bond to sever.' King Alcyd was curious about what really happened to Selene.

The explanation of Melody was merely a portion of what happened to Selene.

Because Melody only explained what happened when they found Selene wandering in the forest covered in blood.

'We need to find her. I want to know why I can't sense her spirit wolf. If she is alive, what happened to her spirit wolf?'

Alcyd pondered on all possible scenarios based on his experience and knowledge with werewolves.

…

Moments after his deep pondering and contemplation, a familiar voice was trying to get his attention thru the mind-link.

'Alpha? Alpha?'

'Jackson? Is that you?'

'Yes, Alpha! It's Jackson.'

'What is it?'

'Athena has given birth to healthy twins.'

'Why Garrett has not informed me about that? How could he not inform me regarding such a good news?'

'He told me that he doesn't want to oblige you due to the current situation which you are dealing with at the moment.'

'Pft! I only sent him back to the Golden Moon City and now he wants to pay back through such underhanded way. If he doesn't want me there then I will not bother visiting him as well.'

There was a brief pause before Jackson shared his other intention.

'We also found Selene.'

At the thought of Selene being found, King Alcyd rose from his bed.

'You found her?!?! Where?!?!'

Prompting himself to pursue his own mate.

'She is currently staying in the mansion with her older brother and some individuals.'

'Great work, Jackson! Make sure she stays within the Golden Moon City. Do not let her leave from the mansion.'

'Yes, Alpha!'

'I will be going to visit the Golden Moon Pack as soon as possible. So I want you to prepare everything for my visit.'

'Yes, Alpha!'

Right after his talk with Jackson, King Alcyd began to prepare for his visit to the Golden Moon Pack.

And his … reunion with the one he was longing for …

His reunion with Selene!

Meanwhile,

In the dungeons where things become darker at night.

Colder …

And tormenting …

Freddie was in chains and punished by the Alpha King for collaborating in Selene's escape and his defiance from the orders of the Alpha King.

Georgie, his younger brother requested and plead for reprieve of his own older brother.

Since it was not intentionally to harm anyone.

But his crimes such as hurting Prince Ivan came into light, the Alpha King became stern with his decision to punish Freddie.

Unless Selene pleads in behalf of Freddie.

Footsteps could be heard from a distance while Freddie was lying down in his bed.

The sound of the footsteps got closer and closer.

…

"Why are you here? How did you get an access to visit me?"

Freddie's query to his younger brother.

"Chloe made a request to the prime minister to authorize my visit. I guess she could not be refused by her own mate. Having good relations as a close friend to Chloe pays off."

"If you are here to nag me or get angry … You can leave! I already had enough regrets to think of."

Georgie clenched his fist from the tone of his older brother.

"Why are you being like this? Have you ever thought of how your actions will affect me? You are the only one I have in this world! Are you that willing to waste your life and leave me on my own?"

It struck Freddie instantly.

Realizing the consequences of his own actions.

Guilt flooded over.

"Tell me! Where can I find Selene?"

There was hesitation before his reply.

…

…

"She went back to the Golden Moon City. She plans to hide inside the Golden Moon Mansion."

Right after he disclosed the location of Selene, the voice changed instantly.

"That's great! Looks like we have to visit her …"

Freddie's eyes widened at the sight of a red eyed vampire outside his cell.

Smirking with a sinister look painted all over face.

"That was easy!" the vampire revealed.
