*** Moments Before The Landslide Incident ***

[-Vehicle #3-]

​​

The seating arrangement in the third vehicle was somehow with little tension.

Selene seated in the first row, next to the driver seat.

Athena occupied the entire mid-row due to the twins.

Giving Chloe and Lucas with no choice but to sit next to each other at the backseat.

A total awkwardness …

Ever since the return of Selene, Chloe was still uncomfortable being around with Lucas.

Despite the attempt of Lucas to seek forgiveness from Chloe, after killing his father during his darker days.

When his heart was filled with hate and vengeance, he was beyond recognizable from his true self.

"Don't even try make any unnecessary moves. Because it's already packed here at the backseat. And do us a favor, if you want us to reach the royal palace alive … don't make any attempts of conversing with me, okay?" Chloe reminded Lucas.

"Okay, sure!" Lucas complied with Chloe's request.

Understanding her own feelings and emotions towards him.

Because it also reminded him of the older version of himself.

Though, unlike him … Chloe did not let vengeance or hate took over her life.

But it is impossible for her to just forget what Lucas did.

"Here is your water guys, just in case you get thirsty along the way." Athena handed out the water bottles for Lucas and Chloe.

Lucas took the water bottles from Athena and he intended to hand over Chloe her share but Chloe asked Athena for hers.

"Athena, can I have one?" Chloe ignoring the gesture of Lucas.

Putting them both in a more awkward situation.

After Athena gave Chloe another bottle of water, she noticed the silence of Selene.

Trying to uplift the atmosphere within the vehicle, Athena congratulated Rico for passing the training and the tournament for the Golden Moon Warriors to be chosen in accompanying the Alpha King back to the royal palace.

Not everyone was given the opportunity to serve their Alpha King in the royal palace.

It was still a huge deal for all Golden Moon Warriors to be chosen and assigned in serving their Alpha King in the royal palace.

Honor …

Prestige …

And sense of pride for being selected amongst the few.

Because only the best of the best and the strongest were selected to accompany the Alpha King back to the royal palace.

"Congratulations, Rico! I heard you and Misha were top of this year's tournament. Time flies so fast! It was just like yesterday that the two of you were just mere kids running around. Now, you are legit Golden Moon Warriors!" Athena giving Rico his deserved praise.

"Thank you! I guess we were lucky." Rico tried to humble himself.

"Being selected is not luck, boy! You earned it and it's because you are one of the best out there. Period!" Athena explained to Rico.

Looking distracted and deep in her thoughts.

Athena could no longer endure the silence of Selene.

"Are you okay, Selene?" Athena asked their Luna while looking after her twins.

"Yeah, I am okay! I am just worried for Georgie. If Alarick found him already. I asked Chloe to ask him a favor regarding the search for Georgie. Somehow we found his possible location but somehow I can sense some dark presence around the location. It was a bit alarming." Selene' reply.

"Don't worry we will find him soon. You may not know …" before Athena could finish her words.

Selene sensed the danger they were about to encounter.

The ground shook.

And the sound of landslide with large boulders falling towards the convoy.

"Chloe protect Athena and her twins!!!" Selene immediate command.

It was too sudden.

Huge pile of ground soil covered the entire path.

Leaving no trace of the road or the convoy.

-Woosh!-

…

…

A group of men emerged on top of the mountain.

"That was great! A success!" one of the men informed his peers.

"Call Alpha Alister, tell him the mission is a success!" the assigned leader told his subordinates.

"We were told to confirm their deaths first before calling him."

"How will you check? Didn't you see with your own eyes … all of them got buried deep!"

Moments after a large explosion was heard.

Selene was floating and lifting the entire pile of ground soil that buried the vehicles.

Forming it into a giant boulder and throwing it back above.

The group of men scattered at the sight of the giant boulder.

Instead of looking for the culprits.

She prioritized the safety of everyone.

While leaving everything to King Alcyd regarding the search of the culprits.

Seeing the passengers of the first vehicle to be okay.

King Alcyd gave them a command.

"JACKSON! JANE! Lead the way. We will be searching for those responsible for this." King Alcyd's immediate command.

Instantly, they shifted into their wolf forms.

Jackson and Jane leading the way.

Followed by their Alpha King, Theo and some other warriors.

Beta Garrett stayed behind for his family.

His first concern was Athena and their twins.

"Athena!" Beta worriedly called for his mate.

Then, he saw her and their twins protected by such barrier with Chloe.

"We are okay! Thanks to Chloe and Selene." Athena hugged the father of her twins passionately.

Grateful for surviving the sudden attack.

Lucas was also taken by surprise for not seeing the attack coming.

Maybe due to his attention focused on Chloe rather than his surroundings.

Scanning the devastation caused by the sudden attack.

"MISSHHHAAA!!!" Rico emotionally called for his fellow orphan.

Unfortunately, the other vehicles were swept away.

Including the one Misha was in.

Selene used her powers to locate them and released their designated vehicles from its buried state.

Rico panicked at the horrifying scene caused by the sudden attack.

There were blood everywhere.

"MISSHHHAAA!!" Rico was in tears.
