For a long time Selene longed for this moment to have her only older brother, Lucas, within her arms.

Trees nearby the garden seemed to be a perfect spot for Lucas to hide himself from other werewolves around the mansion.

​​

He also knew that it would be a trouble to face an entire full force alone without knowing what he may be against with.

The most important objective for him was to find his younger sister as well.

To fulfill the promise he had with their mother, to protect and ensure Selene's safety.

Though, there has been some changes of his perspective in his ways.

Since the day he ascended to his dark side and transferred his entire light magic to Fluffy's soul, this was something Lucas took lightly without taking into consideration … the consequences.

All of this did not matter for Lucas because he has found the way to reunite with his younger sister and preserve Fluffy's life.

Both siblings were in each other's arms.

Selene warmly hugged her older brother and her embrace was filled with longing.

Unlike her older brother's expression, hallow and cold.

Inconsistent with the intention of his embrace.

Realizing the difference and change in her older brother's touch, she stepped backward to take a full look on her older brother.

"Tell me … what have you done? Why am I feeling something is totally different and greatly off with you?" Selene curiously asked her older brother.

"Why do you have to ask silly questions, Selene? As usual, you are asking me with unnecessary things. Are you not happy to see me? Is it not enough to be reunited with your older brother?" Lucas asked his younger sister who was looking confused and curious.

Fluffy rubbed his muzzle against Selene's palm.

While the future Luna of the Golden Moon Pack tried to look for the right words to utter, Lucas seems to notice the hesitation in Selene's expression.

Making it obvious that his younger sister was trying to discern his expressions and body language. Which did not set right with him.

Immediately Selene refocused her attention in more important matter in her mind. She did not want to make her older brother feel uncomfortable with her sudden queries.

"I am happy of course. If you only knew how much I waited for this moment! I did my best in trying to search for you! Where were you all this time? Are you really associated with the king of rogue werewolves? I am happy to know that you did not kill Fluffy. Alcyd said that …" Selene held her older brother's hands in her excitement to be reunited with him again.

Despite the clash and battle going on from afar between two colliding forces, the excitement of Selene was completely warm and full of glee.

At long last, the one she longed for was finally in front of her.

Except for, a huge change within Lucas.

His usual warmth and smile were gone.

"When you said Alcyd, you mean the son of Viktor and the current Alpha Prince of Golden Moon Pack, isn't it?" Selene's older brother demanded for a clarification from Selene.

"Yes … Is there something wrong? He is my mate! Could you believe it? My mate is an Alpha Prince." Selene replied her older brother unaware to what lies ahead of her.

Lucas clenched his fist before speaking to his younger sister.

Before he could utter another word, Selene's friends appeared behind her.

"Selene!" Freddie exclaimed.

"Who is he?" Georgie asked as he look at the newly reunited siblings.

At the same time, Athena was trying her best to determine the man holding their future Luna.

And it dawned on Athena …

The image shared by her mate, Garrett.

One of their unique skill as a mate, was their supernatural ability to share senses with one another.

Just like their sight, they could see what the other sees.

With that … Athena recalled the day of the rogue attack where many warriors of Golden Moon Pack died and got hurt. She remembered through the image conveyed by her own mate's sight.

An image where Lucas wreaking havoc and hurting her mate during the encounter of Beta Garrett and Selene's older brother.

Thus, recognizing Lucas as the one responsible for terrorizing the lives of many members of Golden Moon Pack.

"Get away from our future Luna, Fiend!" Athena issued a warning on Lucas.

Lucas did not like it and stepped forward.

"Or else what?" Lucas smirked with so much confidence.

"W-wait guys! This is my older brother, Lucas! He means no harm!" Selene nervously remarked.

Stepping in front of Lucas.

In the middle of two tensed forces.

"He was the one responsible for the attack in Golden Moon Pack." Athena declared.

"You are just mistaken … He may have been forced or coerced to do so … We have to give him the chance to explain himself." Selene naively pointed out.

Her denial to the fact that the older brother he once knew was no longer the same.

"I could not be mistaken. He is exactly the one!" Athena stood in preparatory to launch for an attack.

Both of the rogue brothers wanted to be happy for the fated reunion of Selene and her older brother. But after hearing what Athena said made them wary of Selene's older brother.

"Selene … I think it would be better if you step away from your older brother." Freddie requested from Selene.

At the same time, Lucas prepared himself for any attack by gathering enough energy to launch an explosive attack.

"No! I refuse for any of you to do something foolish. And can't you see Fluffy is well and alive. So he may not have meant for anyone to die." Selene uttered in denial.

Even knowing that her older brother may no longer be the brother she once knew.

She continued intervening,

"Please! Lucas, they are my friends! You can clear this up peacefully. All of this are just misunderstanding, right?" Selene begged for her older brother's peaceful cooperation.

Then there it was … His eyes completely gone dark and no hint of his previous warmth.

A gasp of surprise and disbelief.

Piecing everything together.

The light she feels surrounding Fluffy was not Fluffy's but her older brother's essence of light magic.

Fluffy whimpered at the sight of Selene and Lucas.

"Looks like you are no longer the baby sister I once knew. You know how to figure things out on your own, am I right?" Lucas looked at Selene with his dark hollow eyes.

Right before Selene and Lucas could do something else,

A series of flying darts coated with strong tranquilizers mixed with wolfsbane were shot towards Selene's friends.

One by one they fell to the ground.

Even Lucas was not aware of the stealthy presence from the unit sent by Brandon.

Another series of flying darts were shot but this time … it was towards Selene.

It was too late for Lucas to use his abilities, so he had to use his hand to block it.

Instantly, he started to lose his balance and wobbled to the ground.

His younger sister caught him.

"Lucas!" Selene screamed for the name of her older brother.
