[-In the Crimson Pack-]

After Alpha Berrick and Lucas covered themselves, they rushed towards Selene who fell unconscious out of a sudden.

​​

Immediately, they rushed her to the pack's hospital.

-Hours after the incident-

Selene regained her consciousness.

The resident witch explained to Selene's father that she was okay.

But her life force was continuously weakening.

Due to her missing spirit wolf and lack of physical contact with her mate.

For werewolves, once they complete their mating process. She-wolves become weaker when they are apart from their mates.

According to the resident witch, the condition of a she-wolf may worsen when their spirit wolves are not present to provide them extra life force and spiritual energy.

"In other words … she already found her mate? Is that what you are telling me, Elder Quintana?" Alpha Berrick tried to confirm from the elder and resident witch of the Crimson Pack.

Her silence meant yes because she also knew based on the magical essence she sensed from Selene.

There was more complications and entanglement within Selene.

And it was not her position to reveal it all.

She also could sense Selene would not want her father to know about the reason for her sudden pain was due to the link with her mate.

Knowing it was not the right of the resident witch to reveal such a sensitive issue.

Understanding the current intention of Selene.

This did not go well with Alpha Berrick.

His patience was running thin.

Because knowing that his daughter had a mate and he was not around to look after his most precious daughter.

He went inside the room seeing Lucas and Selene together.

"So you have found your mate. Where is that bastard that left you on your own to suffer? Why is he not with you?" Alpha Berrick was clearly upset.

To know that his daughter was on her own without her mate.

Only Alpha Berrick was not aware about the fact regarding the relationship of Selene and the Alpha King.

Both, Luna Zavy and Alpha Maximo left the three on their own to discuss such important matter.

"How could your mate let you be on your own? If only I knew that you have been mated already. I would have asked him to stay with us." Alpha Berrick told his daughter.

"We cannot do that father." Selene was feeling disappointed.

"Why not? After he completed the mating process with you! How can he be so irresponsible?!?!" Alpha Berrick expressed his dismay towards Selene's mate.

Lucas wanted to tell their father but Selene was glaring at him.

Giving him signals to keep himself out and uninvolved in the matter.

"Because he is already married father and he is expecting a child with her! I don't want to ruin someone else's family. So, please stop insisting about it." Selene raised her voice and wanted to move on from the topic.

"How can you complete a mating process with a married man?" Alpha Berrick assumed based on the things he heard.

"Of course not! We completed the process before he got married!" In Selene's defense.

Instead of pacifying the situation with her father.

It even infuriated him further.

"YOU MEAN HE MARRIED SOMEONE ELSE WHILE MATED WITH YOU!"

Clearly it was getting out of control.

"It's complicated father!"

Selene had no time and was not in the mood to do a recap about why she was away from her mate.

"You should have rejected him if that was the case! Who is he? Tell me!"

"I already tried to reject him but he refused … and there is no point of knowing him."

"What no point? I am your father! And I should know who is this bastard … I cannot accept this. To let you suffer this way while he gets to live his own life." Alpha Berrick was getting more upset.

He looked at Lucas, demanding for answers.

"How can you let your sister go through such misery and suffering?" He reminded Lucas for his responsibility as Selene's older brother.

"I tried to tell her but she begged me not to get involved with her personal problems with …" Lucas wanted to mention Alcyd's name but Selene kept stopping him.

"Fine! Should I do my own research and do things my way?" Alpha Berrick had a threatening tone on his words.

…

Making Selene give up.

"He is the Alpha King!"

"Viktor's son! So you cannot harm him …" Selene revealed to their father.

Looking utterly shocked and speechless.

A fate of his own daughter which he never expected.

Being linked and tied to someone he could never fathom to be associated with his daughter.

"Come again? What did you say?" Alpha Berrick wanted to refuse what he just heard from his daughter.

Selene tried to find more courage and telling her father once again.

"The Alpha King … is … my mate …" Selene looked away because she could not endure the shock in her father's face.

Raging anger soared within Alpha Berrick.

"LIKE FATHER! LIKE SON!"

"CAUSING MISERY TO ME AND MY CHILDREN!!!"

"THIS ENDS NOW!!!"

Before Alpha Berrick could leave the room and do something unthinkable, Selene grabbed her father's waist.

Begging for her father to stay and not kill the man she loves.

"I . LOVE . HIM!"

"I STILL LOVE HIM!"

"I WILL DIE IF YOU KILL HIM!"

Finally, Selene admitted to herself that her feelings for her mate remained.

"KILL ME INSTEAD IF YOU WANT TO KILL HIM."

A statement which Alpha Berrick could not bear to hear.

He was stuck in his ground.

Thinking over the pain that his daughter had to endure.

Just for the sake of love.

"I will let him live! Only if you promise to stay away from him …"

A shocking request from her own father.

But something better than knowing Alcyd would die in the hands of her own father.
