[-In the Golden Moon Hospital-]

Selene never left Booth's side.

​​

Holding his hand while the hunter was completely sedated.

From a distance, King Alcyd could not help but feel jealous.

When he was about to enter, he saw the glimpse of Selene holding the hand of Booth.

If he makes a scene or kill the guy, the more Selene would not forgive him.

Instead of letting his jealousy take over, he had more important things to do.

Like the funeral of Lady Sonja.

The trial of the intruders were postponed.

Because a more important matter had to take place.

"Selene … everyone is ready. We need to go now." King Alcyd informed his mate.

Even though Selene doesn't want to leave Booth's side, she had to go and attend Lady Sonja's funeral.

All members of the Golden Moon Pack grieved at the news of Lady Sonja's death.

A woman they have respected and cherished for a long time.

The arrival of Selene and King Alcyd caused surprise to other members.

Since, only few members knew about the return of Selene. But now, there was no point in hiding it to others.

'Oh my God! Is that the Luna?'

'So it's true! Our Luna is alive!"

'Why does her hair look weird? What happened to her platinum hair?'

'Can't you see! Her bangs have platinum hair!'

Everyone was gushing over the arrival of their Alpha King and … their Luna.

They wanted to go over and greet their Luna but their Alpha King gave orders to greet her later.

King Alcyd requested for everyone to give Selene some space and time to grieve for Lady Sonja.

'Let us not take away this moment to grieve for our beloved Lady Sonja and respect her memory.' The Alpha King gave everyone the orders through the mind-link.

All members and executive officers were present in the funeral of Lady Sonja.

Even Jane, who was badly wounded by Dalton.

Jackson was holding Jane by the waist and her arms.

Assisting her in every step.

Somehow, she was greatly weakened by the near-death experience.

Once the Alpha King and the others reached the gravestone of Lady Sonja, there were tons of flowers surrounding her gravestone.

Tears fell when Selene saw the name of Lady Sonja engraved on the gravestone.

Blaming herself for the deaths caused by her existence.

Her original clan …

Her parents …

The hunters she led …

Members of the Golden Moon Pack …

Now … Lady Sonja and more members of the Golden Moon Pack.

"How many more lives?" Selene uttered in her tears.

Beta Garrett and King Alcyd were standing beside her.

They looked at her uttering those words.

"It's not your fault …" King Alcyd wanted to comfort Selene.

But he feared that he would be rejected once more.

'Offer her your hand or your comfort.' Beta Garrett advised their Alpha King through their mind-link.

'I do not want to be selfish in this time of grieving. Right now, all I want to do is respect the memory of Lady Sonja and thank her for everything. I just don't want to cause a scene in her funeral.' King Alcyd explained himself.

'You are right! But don't you know, Lady Sonja's last words to me that day …' Beta Garrett shared to their Alpha King.

He continued, 'She wished for both of you and Selene to patch things up even though it may take some more time. She prayed for everyone's good health … especially yours.'

Mentioning Lady Sonja's last words to Beta Garrett before they parted ways.

Beta Garrett wished he could have told their senior member how important and loved she was in the wolf pack.

'Lady Sonja was like a mother to us. She was not only a chief of staff, a mentor … but also our guardian when our young selves were completely rebellious and lost.' King Alcyd recalled his memories with Lady Sonja.

Containing his emotions to burst out upon reminiscence.

While the two reminisce their memories of Lady Sonja, Selene was also recollecting her own memories of Lady Sonja.

Lady Sonja was the first person in the Golden Moon Pack she opened up with.

Treating her like her own daughter.

Even though she was too guarded with her own emotions. Lady Sonja succeeded in making Selene feel … not alone and loved.

Selene craved and longed for a sense of family during those times.

And Lady Sonja was the first person in the Golden Moon Pack she felt at ease with.

A motherly presence which she was longing for the most.

"In memory of our beloved …. Lady Sonja … I want everyone to pray for her soul. Think of all the good things she has done and forgive her for all of her shortcomings. Today … is a reminder that life is too short and never take time for granted. Don't let a day pass by without telling your loved ones … how important and special they are in your life. Because we may not know … what lies ahead of us and if we will have another chance to express our love for them." Selene's speech echoed to all the members and attendees of the funeral.

Prompting them to be more emotional.

As soon as she turned around to the gravestone of Lady Sonja, she unexpectedly expressed her feelings towards the Alpha King.

"I still love you … that cannot be denied … but I am not yet capable of forgiving you. Even though during those days I lost my memories … I never lost hope of finding the truth and regaining my memories back. So that I can return to you. But unfortunately, you easily gave in to misery and the idea of losing me. Instead of finding ways to have me back. I can never do what you have done. Find someone else as my replacement and have a child with that person."

King Alcyd could not speak due to his guilt.

Letting Selene talk.

She continued,

"Because if I was in your position, I will never give up on you until I get the chance to have you back in my arms. So, I want to let you know … I still do love you! But I can't say it's the same like before."

"At least … I won't have any regrets of not telling you what I feel for you." Selene remarked while looking at Lady Sonja's gravestone.

There were no right words to say from the words uttered by Selene.

...

Moments after their prayers for Lady Sonja.

Selene stood up and faced Beta Garrett.

"Where are the intruders?" Selene asked.

"They are currently heavily guarded in the dungeons." Beta Garrett replied.

"Chloe volunteered in guarding the entire dungeon, sealing every exit." Athena added.

"Lead me to them!" Selene stated.

"But … you have to rest. We can do it tomorrow." King Alcyd worriedly said to Selene.

"The trial must take place now. Justice must not be delayed. It's something we owe to Lady Sonja." Selene argued with the Alpha King.

No one dared to oppose her.

"Let us begin the trial!" Selene prompted.

Her eyes were gleaming in their beastly nature.

And everyone could feel the change in her aura.

Intimidating …

And overwhelming …

'I will make each of them regret!'
