On the rooftop of the Golden Moon Academy, Selene and the rest of her friends are gathered as usual for a lunch time.

But this time around, everyone is silent and seems to be in deep thought.

​​

Everyone seems to be thinking something while eating their meal for lunch, silently.

Except for Georgie…

Georgie started looking at everyone. He took a glance on each of them and started to become curious while taking a bite on his sushi wrap.

Lance is thinking about how easily he was defeated by a dark being. He is contemplating how weak he may have appeared towards Selene. It was something he hated to feel, a feeling of being weak. There was a look in his eyes as he take a glance at Selene. A look of hoping to become stronger for someone.

Beside him was Scarlett who is also in deep thought. She is surprised by all the revelations about Selene's true connection with their Alpha Prince. It even bothers her more that she may have found out more than she supposed to. And it may seem to look like that she knows more than their Alpha Prince.

Since Alpha Gerald is expected to visit in the Golden Moon Pack, it only means that their Alpha Prince does not know that Selene came from Midnight Pack before she became a member of the Golden Moon Pack. This is something she knows that will be big trouble between the two Alphas once their Alpha Prince finds out about this important information which she plans to keep.

Though, she is torn whether would she wait until Selene shares this information or come forward to Prince Alcyd which he deserves to know. After all, Prince Alcyd is her mate.

At the same time, Freddie could not fathom the weight of every revelation about Selene. Everything became clearer to him why there were certain behaviors that Selene and Prince Alcyd exhibit when they are around. It even became clearer as well, to why Selene must remain in Golden Moon Pack.

All these times, he kept wondering what made Prince Alcyd force Selene to stay in the Golden Moon Pack. Now, it makes sense that Selene is the mate of the Alpha Prince of Golden Moon Pack. A worry came into Freddie's mind, what kind of danger awaits for Selene?

Anyone would definitely know the danger and vulnerability that awaits for the mate of a royalty. Especially they have plenty of enemies. A belief that other werewolves thought which the cause for all mates of any Alpha or royalty to be the target of any enemies. In short, Selene's fate is shrouded with danger and uncertainty due to being a mate of an Alpha Prince.

Though, Chloe is the most distracted with her thoughts. After knowing that her parents are both still alive. Her mother serving King Viktor and her father being alive all these times, who knows where he has been. But the thought that both of her parents decided to leave her with her grandmother made her think of her value to them.

Was she that worthless that both her parents decided to leave her with her grandmother without her parents' love?

Why would her grandmother lie about her parents' current condition, of them being dead?

What made her father decide to show up? For a long time, her father decided to be away from her, and then suddenly now he wants to be a father to her.

All these questions were pestering in Chloe's mind.

While Selene is thinking about the information about her older brother which Prince Alcyd told her right after the ceremony of her being a member of the Golden Moon Pack.

A decision that Selene never took lightly.

Finally deciding on becoming a member of the Golden Moon Pack is a huge decision as a werewolf. Being part of a wolf pack is something that demands commitment and loyalty. Those were the things that she could not easily give to anyone.

But for the sake of finding her older brother. Selene had to embrace Golden Moon Pack as her new home. A trade exchange that she felt worth the risk and compromise. She is starting to get attached to the Golden Moon Pack so it is something that is easier to compromise than completing the mating process.

"Can anyone talk or all of you have lost the ability to speak?" Georgie being annoyed with the current silence going on.

Freddie and the others started talking to Georgie but Selene remained in her deep thought.

Thinking about the new information she got about her older brother.

*** Flashback ***

Day after Selene's official membership ceremony

"So time to pay up! What have you found out about my older brother? Where is he? Is he alright?" directly asked by Selene from Prince Alcyd.

Prince Alcyd looks at Selene while he sat behind the main desk.

"Selene, why don't you take a seat first?" nervously asked by Garrett while the two have an intense staring battle.

"You are not even gonna ask if how am I today. You are too concerned with your older brother but to me, you are not." Prince Alcyd pointed out while Selene is being impatient.

"Look! Just tell me now or I can easily leave this pack and reject you. Do not test my patience!" threatened by Selene towards the Alpha Prince.

Hearing another threat from his mate made him flinch in nervousness. Kratos, the spirit wolf of Prince Alcyd, started to appear out of a sudden.

'Hey, handle this right or else we will lose her for sure!'

'I am on it! So stop nagging me.' Prince Alcyd's reply to his spirit wolf.

"Regarding with your older brother …" as Prince Alcyd started to mention Selene's older brother,

Selene's look in her eyes started to gleam in anticipation by the mention of her older brother.

"Prince Ranku and Garrett have encountered your older brother in their last mission. With the descriptions you gave and his name, it is confirmed that your older brother is currently involved with rogue werewolves. Unfortunately, he escaped along with the other rogue werewolves. We are worried that he may be serving King Lucius…" revealed by Prince Alcyd.

Worry and concern for her older brother are painted all over Selene's face while she listens to Prince Alcyd.

But Garrett immediately expressed his own thoughts through the mind-link.

'Why are you lying to her?' Garrett's serious question to Prince Alcyd through the mind-link.
