[-In the Golden Moon Hospital-]

Day after the trial of the intruders …

​​

Selene visited Booth in the hospital.

Melody and Lucas escorted Selene to the hospital.

Before reaching the room where Booth was taken care of.

There was a group of teenage werewolves standing outside the door.

"Luna!" the teenage she-wolf ran towards Selene and hugged her.

"Finally, you have returned! I was right … I never believed them … I always thought you were still alive. Many times I have issued a request to set a search team for you. Unfortunately, I was denied countless times." Continued complained by the she-wolf.

At the realization that Selene was confused.

"It's me … Misha! From the orphanage! One of the orphan kids?!?!" Misha reminded Selene.

"Oh my GOD! You have grown … A LOT!" Selene was surprised at the sight of Misha.

From a little girl into a budding and growing she-wolf.

"I have shifted already and I have brown furs!" Misha boasted to their Luna.

"And this is Rico! The eldest amongst the orphans when you last visited us before you went to the royal palace with King Alcyd." Misha introduced her fellow orphans.

"Wow! All of you have truly grown. So how is training for all of you? I bet Caleb is giving you hard time." Selene jokingly asked.

All of the orphans laughed at the words of Selene.

"Nah! We can manage with the trainings. It's the academics and homework in school we are struggling with …" Rico shared to their Luna.

Others agreed with him except Misha.

"All of you are just lazy to study." Misha bragged her achievements to their Luna.

Because Misha always have looked up to their Luna and treated her like her ideal woman.

Immediately, others argued and debated with Misha.

'Hey! We are not like you!'

'Pft! You don't have social life that's why you can manage.'

'At least we excel in the trainings!'

Words being thrown at Misha.

"Settle down you all! Let's have our reunion some other time. Right now, I have to visit a friend of mine. He saved my life and I have to make sure he is alright." Selene requested.

Misha and her friends nodded.

They excused themselves. Letting Selene enter the room.

All of the orphan warriors looked at Selene and were curious if how is the relationship of Selene and their Alpha King.

Knowing that their Alpha King is married to someone else.

Melody comforted Selene while Lucas closed the door since he was the last one to enter.

Before Selene expressed her plans to Melody and Lucas, she checked the condition of Booth and held his hand.

Remembering their moments together.

During those days they spent together in missions and raids.

Having each other's back.

Looking after one another.

"Don't you dare die on me!" Selene told Booth.

Lucas could see how worried Selene was for the human.

He never thought a human, especially a hunter would have such importance in Selene's life.

"Is he really that important to you?" Lucas wondered.

"Yes … I don't know what I will do if ever I lose him." Selene confessed.

"How about the Alpha King? He is your mate … I thought you still love him." Lucas pointed out.

"I know and it's complicated but I am not his wife … remember?" Selene reminded her older brother.

"So, what now?" Lucas asked his younger sister.

…

There was a brief silence before Selene answered the query of her older brother.

"I called President Tony a while ago. And told him everything." Selene informed Melody.

"WHAT?!?!" Melody was surprised.

"He is angered by my failure and putting you at risk for exposing you to more danger. That is why …" Selene conveyed her conversation with the president of the Hunters Association.

She further elaborated,

"And you will be escorted back by your father. He will be arriving in the Golden Moon Pack … 2 days from now. They will also bring Booth back to the headquarters. His grandfather will be accompanying the president."

"But …" Melody wanted to complain but Selene insisted with her plan.

"There are too many dangerous force lurking around. Waiting for their chance to eliminate me. I do not need another incident like Lady Sonja to happen. You will be more protected and safe around the hunters. Your father can protect you better than I can ever do." Selene tried to convince Melody.

Even Lucas was convinced for the sake of his mate.

"I already arranged our meeting for their arrival. They cannot enter the Golden Moon City because from now on … No outsiders are allowed to enter. For the mean time. Until we finalize the defenses of the territory. So, we will meet with them outside the city." Selene gave the details of her plans.

"How about me? I do not want to be separated with her." Lucas mentioned to Selene.

A brief moment before Selene responded.

"Forgive me brother, but you have to understand …"

She was not able to finish her words.

Lucas displayed a negative reaction on Selene's plans.

"No! If it's okay to you that your away with your mate. It's different with me."

Selene knew it would be difficult to convince her older brother.

Unless she had something better to convince him.

Before Lucas could make any complaints, Selene looked at her brother and informed him through her mind-link.

Only Selene was capable of communicating with any werewolf through her mind-link.

A unique ability that no other werewolf has.

Making him silent and loss for words.

…

…

"Do you understand now? It's for you and her. If you cooperate with my plans then everything will go smoothly on your side as well." Selene successfully convinced her older brother after their mind-link.

"Melody … I will visit you time to time. For now, this is something that must be done. Because soon, I will be issuing my acceptance to my duties as the second supreme ruler and a war against the king of vampires."

A surprise was painted all over Melody's face but she understood why she had to be away from Selene.

…

"Do you promise to visit me?" Melody's sadness was evident on her voice.

"Or are you like my birth mother who left me and my father?"

Both Lucas and Selene did not expect for Melody to utter such words.

"Of course I promise! We will visit you soon. After all this chaos …"

Suddenly, Beta Garrett's voice could be heard by Selene.

'Selene? Selene?'

'Yes, Garrett … what is it?'

'I know you are kind of busy right now and knowing your complicated relationship with Alcyd but … will it be okay if you help us?'

'Why, what's wrong?'

'It's Alcyd …'

'What's wrong with him?'

'Alcyd is wasted here in the main office and I could not think of anyone else that could help us with this problem.'

Selene heaved a sigh upon hearing their Beta seek for her help.

'Okay … I am on my way!'

…

"Kindly stay here for the mean time. I have to check on something." Selene excused herself and requested from Lucas and Melody to stay beside Booth.

As she leaves the room, Lucas became more serious.

There was something bothering him ever since his talk with Ingrid.

He was waiting for the right chance to tell Selene.

With all the things going on …

'How can I tell her … our father is alive?'

'I have to confirm this first, before telling her … I do not want to give her false hope.'

'If it's true … why? Why hasn't he searched for us if he was still alive all these times?'

Too many questions plagued the mind of Lucas.

Aside from the fact he would be separated for a while with his mate … and the plans of Selene which he cannot refuse to cooperate with.
