Right after Selene woke up, she spent some time with Alcyd.

Telling him what happened and how she ended up risking her life.

Making it clear that it was her choice to save Melody and wasn't forced in doing things.

…

Then Alpha Berrick, Selene's father interrupted their moment together as he grew impatient waiting outside.

King Alcyd did not mention to Selene that he had a fight with her father.

…

But she noticed the bruises and some blood on King Alcyd's collar.

When King Alcyd excused himself so the father and daughter could have their moment together, Selene already had an idea of what happened between her father and mate.

Noticing the fist of her father a bit swollen and clearly there were hints from his clothing as well.

"How are you feeling now, sweetie?" Alpha Berrick asked his daughter.

"Father, why did you have to fight with him? You promised me that you will not hurt him!" Selene reminded her father with their deal.

"Did he tell you that I punched him? Did he made me look bad to you? The nerve of that cursed…" Selene's father assumed that King Alcyd disclosed their fight outside the hospital.

"FATHER! He did not tell me! Your fist is clearly swollen from a fight. There are some drop of blood on the sleeves of your shirt."

Alpha Berrick became wary.

He became conscious suddenly.

Not expecting his daughter to notice such details.

Instantly, he thought of a way to be more careful from the observant eyes of his daughter.

"It was his fault anyways. If only he did not…"

Selene's father kept blaming King Alcyd because he was the son of Viktor, the man who ruined everything for him.

At the same time, he tried to hide the fact that before he came to see his daughter… he trashed an entire wolf pack into submission.

Forcing the whole wolf pack to submit to his will.

…

"FATHER! Stop blaming Alcyd! He did not do anything wrong here. It was my own doing. I was the one who decided to risk my own life. No one else, okay!" Selene clarified to her father about what happened.

She continued, "To be honest, instead of getting angry and fuming in frustration. You should be thankful to him. He made sure that I was taken care of. At the end of the day…"

"HE IS STILL MY MATE!"

The pride of her father was being stepped on.

"ME? GRATEFUL TO THE SON OF VIKTOR?"

Alpha Berrick made it clear to his daughter how furious he was to the family of Viktor.

"I . WILL . NEVER . STOOP . LOW . TO . THEM!"

"VIKTOR . IS . THEIR . FATHER! THE . REASON . WHY . I . LOST . YOUR . MOTHER!"

There was a clear tension in the room.

Beta Inyagi went to check and tried to pacify his Alpha but Selene told him to stay out and let her father be.

Fuming in anger.

His eyes were gleaming bright from his anger.

"I understand your pain father. I know how hard and painful it must have been for you. But…" Selene tried to be careful with her words because she doesn't want her father to lose his rationality and go on a rampage.

Werewolves can cause rampage when they are completely out of control, due to their anger and fury.

"But… a child must not be persecuted by his or her parents' sins. Vengeance and taking away someone else's life will not bring back the dead."

"When will you let yourself free from the darkness of your own nightmares, father?"

"You are the one who caged yourself with all the hate and misery of the past."

"Mother will not be happy to see you like this. Revolving your entire life in vengeance and hate."

…

At the mention of her mother, Alpha Berrick did his best to contain his anger.

He avoided the look on his daughter's face.

"As soon as you get better, you will be returning to the Crimson Pack. I will task Lucas to bring you back."

Selene planned to tell her father that she would be staying in the royal palace when he is in a better mood.

Alpha Berrick left the room fuming in anger.

Seeing her father still surrounded with great anger and hatred, makes it more difficult for her to unite all werewolf forces.

'Your father is really scary!' Sylvia, the spirit wolf of Selene expressed her fear for Alpha Berrick.

'I need to unite the entire kingdom to win this war.' Selene replied with a firm resolve.

[-In The Garden of the Royal Palace-]

All the staff members became busy at the arrival of Selene.

Compared to Laura, Selene was more revered in the royal palace and amongst the people.

Her compassion, fierceness, and grace were characteristics that stood out from the rest.

Right after her stay in the royal hospital, Selene wanted to unwind herself in the garden.

It has been a long time since her last visit in the royal garden.

She was told that it was the location that Laura chose for them to have a private talk.

A small pavilion in the middle of the huge royal garden.

Surrounded by tall hedges of green plants.

With different regal flowers by the center.

Along with the fountain and a small pavilion for a serene paradise ambiance.

…

Laura was already seated sipping her own herbal tea.

…

Every corner were royal guards monitoring every movement of Laura and Selene.

While King Alcyd was in his throne room, nervous and curious about the meeting between Selene and Laura.

"I am glad you accepted my request for a private talk." Selene greeted Laura who continued drinking her tea.

…

"Why do you want to see me? You already won. What's the point of seeing me?" Laura did not sugar coat her words.

…

"I want to discuss about the kingdom and your child's future."

Immediately gaining the attention of Laura.

…
