As the sky dusked,

The sun started to retreat …

​​

And the darkness started to rise …

Somewhere around the border of the territory of a neighboring wolf pack from the Jade Pack.

Group of rogue werewolves camped around.

Lifeless body of werewolves were scattered around as if the army of rogue werewolves left it as their trophy of victory.

"Resting for few hours won't be bad. We just have to make sure by dawn tomorrow, Jade Pack must fall. And their territory must be ours for the taking." Brandon declared to other generals of rogue werewolves.

"We are glad that Lucas joined the army. There was a worry from the others that maybe his demotion may have disheartened him and we expected his disinterest to help us in the invasion." One of the generals from the rogue army expressed his opinion.

They were gathered inside a huge tent exclusively for high ranking officers only.

Another rogue general shared his thoughts regarding Lucas.

"Actually, I was expecting he would not show any interest in coming with us at all."

Nods of agreement from the other rogue officers were in unison with the opinion of their peers.

Though, Brandon knew exactly what made Lucas join.

He was able to intercept the details of the information which Lucas tasked for one of the spies sent to the Golden Moon Pack territory.

Unaware to the interception of Brandon before it even reached to Lucas. Brandon successfully found out that Lucas was looking for his sister. And she was indeed amongst the members of the Golden Moon Pack.

Worst of it all … the mate of Prince Alcyd.

Since Brandon was promised by Lucas that he would save his own mate, he had to keep this important revelation from anyone.

After relaying to Lucas the information, Lucas killed the spy with his own hands which made Brandon fear that if Lucas found out that he was aware of it.

Or if anyone would know, Lucas may eliminate them.

Thus, he decided to use this information as a bargaining chip for future advantage on his part.

At the same time, he feels like as if it may not be useful. It may become a liability rather than an advantage for him to utilize.

One thing he could do right now … is make sure he could be in possession of his younger sister before Lucas could. It would be a better scenario, a better leverage to control Lucas.

This explains for the purpose of Brandon assigning a secret squad tasked to tranquilize Selene.

A special task to only tranquilize Selene and grab her once given the chance.

No one knew about this, only Brandon and the secret squad he assigned.

Their specialty were stealth movement. Former members of a wolf pack, known for their stealth movements. Due to their light built and extreme training for stealth and covert operations.

A rogue mission for a special unit of rogue werewolves.

On the other hand,

Lucas was outside cleaning the blade of his small knife from the stains of blood.

Fluffy was laying on the ground resting alongside of Lucas.

"We will soon be reunited with Selene …" Lucas mentioned to Fluffy while he engrossed at the idea of his reunion with his younger sister.

Before Selene woke up,

Freddie and Athena tried their best to break in from the window.

Unfortunately, even from the balcony, there was a force field which prevented Athena and Freddie to break in.

Only few moments after, when the force field disappeared on its own which allowed the two to enter from the balcony. And for Georgie to break through the door as well.

Immediately Freddie ran towards Selene's side who fell from her floating.

Right before she fell to the bed, Freddie caught her on his arms.

Athena wanted to stop Freddie because she knew their Alpha Prince would not like the idea once he hears that Freddie, a submitted rogue werewolf, would be in physical contact with his own mate … the future Luna of the Golden Moon Pack.

But it was too late because Freddie quickly moved and was faster than her.

Moments after the incident …

Prince Alcyd hurriedly went to see Selene because he felt something was off and rushed to their assigned room. It made even worst when no one was answering his attempts through the mind-link.

"What happened here?" Prince Alcyd asked.

Georgie and Scarlett stepped aside for the Alpha Prince.

And Athena stood immediately at the sight of Prince Alcyd.

Words failed to come out from her mouth due to the unexpected arrival of Prince Alcyd.

Though, it was the sight of Freddie holding Selene within his arms. While she was barely covered … wearing only a night gown.

"How dare you! Lay your hands around my mate's body and set your eyes on her vulnerability." An angry tone coming from Prince Alcyd.

Since Selene woke up out of a sudden, she blushed at the realization of being in the manly grip of Freddie.

Instead of complaining, she chose to remove herself from Freddie's grip and blocked her enraged man.

"Get a hold of yourself … Alcyd!" Selene exclaimed while holding on to her mate's chest.

She had to embrace him further to calm his fury.

If Prince Alcyd was infuriated, Kratos was far worst.

The spirit wolf of Prince Alcyd almost unleashed himself if it were not for Selene's touch.

'Do not let the boy live! His eyes and arms must be removed. No one should touch our mate. Only us!' Kratos demanded from Prince Alcyd.

Beta Garrett tried to rationalize the situation.

"What took place in this room? For the four of you to have such a difficulty in breaking in. Which required for the others to even attempt a break-in from the balcony." Garrett tried to discern the situation that took place within the room.

Others looked at Selene.

And Selene felt the stares of the others who witnessed the supernatural phenomenon that just took place.

"You mean I did this?" Selene was confused and could not believe that she unconsciously did something out of the ordinary.

"Yes … despite our full force! A powerful force field was placed all over the room preventing us to enter. And I am sure of it … Selene! You are the source of the powerful force field." Georgie's firm belief.

It made Prince Alcyd divert his attention and remembered the supernatural phenomenon during Selene's first shifting into her wolf form.

He immediately looked at Athena and she nodded in confirmation which was an affirmation to Prince Alcyd's own thoughts.

A reminder of what Magdeline told him appeared in his mind.

'She is the next chosen one! There is a great power lies within her! Darkness will follow her everywhere she goes. Her evolution will be inevitable. You must protect her at all cost.' Magdeline's words to Prince Alcyd.

"Everyone may leave! Give me and Selene some moment. Make sure that no one finds out about this. Especially the members of Jade Pack." Serious words of Prince Alcyd.

While Freddie left the room, Prince Alcyd glared at him.

"I must tell you something Selene. And please … learn how to be discreet about it! Because your life is at stake." Prince Alcyd told Selene with worry in his eyes.
