I turned my gaze away from Axel, unable to find the right words. Even though I no longer had feelings for Kane, that didn't mean I wanted him dead. But how dare he attack my pack?

Not only that-he chose to strike when my brother was sick. Kane knew that waging war against us in this moment gave him an advantage.

'What a pathetic excuse for an Alpha you are, Kane! If you harm my brother or even so much as scratch him, I swear I won't let you walk away unscathed,' I thought bitterly.

I watched as my brother walked out of the pack house with Axel. His officials, who had come to escort him, followed closely behind.

Once they left, I found myself staring at the door, which was firmly shut after their departure. Magnus had ordered the door to remain closed until the war was over.

There was a second door at the back of the pack house, built long ago to protect the royal family in times of danger. My father tried to console my mother, assuring her that everything would be fine.

I glanced at my children and instructed the maids to put them to bed. I steeled my heart, forcing myself to stay calm, even as emotions churned inside me.

"Mommy, we don't want to sleep. Why is everyone crying? Where did Uncle go?" Luna tugged at my hand with her tiny fingers, her wide eyes full of questions.

"Luna, go back to your room with your brother," I said, my tone colder than I intended.

She flinched at my words, and Leo grabbed her hand, gently pulling her toward their room.

"Don't make Mommy upset. Let's just go to bed," Leo urged her softly.

Lowering her head, Luna followed him, glancing back at me with a confused expression. I had nothing to say to her right now.

This was a life-or-death situation, and I needed to protect my children from any danger.

I paced back and forth in the living room, waiting for news from the fighters. An hour passed, and still, no

one had come to inform us of the situation. My patience was wearing thin, so I headed toward the entrance.

"Where are you going?" my mother asked, standing up from her seat.

I shook my head. "Nowhere. I just want to know what's happening."

"Selene, no. Stay inside the pack house, just as your brother instructed," she pleaded.

I turned to her and my father, frustration boiling over. "Mom, Dad, how can you expect me to stay here

while my brother is out there fighting alone?"

"He's not alone," my father replied firmly. "His officials are with him."

"Dad, he's not well! What if he can't shift? What if they ambush him?"

"And what do you plan to do, Selene?" my father asked, his tone sharp.

I looked away, taking a deep breath. "I just need to see what's going on." Without another word, I opened the door and stepped outside.

The scene before me made me freeze. Dozens of guards surrounded the pack house, standing at attention. Magnus had clearly stationed them there to protect us.

I approached them, and they straightened when they saw me coming.

"What's happening in the war?" I demanded.

The guards exchanged uneasy glances, sensing the tension in my voice.

"Why aren't you answering me?" I pressed, my frustration mounting.

One of them bowed slightly. "We've been ordered not to share any information with anyone, ma'am."

I stared at him in shock. Did Magnus really tell them to keep me in the dark? Was he afraid I'd try to join the fight?

I closed my eyes and tried to connect through the mind link with one of the officials, but no one responded.

Fear began to creep into my chest. I rubbed my forehead, feeling helpless and unsure of what to do.

I wasn't a fighter. I had never trained like the pack's warriors. Even if I wanted to help my brother, my lack of skill might only cause more harm.

Reluctantly, I decided to wait for news and turned back toward the pack house. But just as I was about to go inside, a voice reached me through the mind link.

"Selene!"

The growl of desperation made my heart stop. I recognized the voice-it was our.gamma.

"What's wrong?" I asked, panic lacing my thoughts.

"Selene, you need to tell Alpha Malcolm to join the fight. Your brother's life is in danger!"

My eyes widened as tears blurred my vision.

My brother's life was in danger.

I couldn't just stand there, waiting for news of his death. I had to act. I glanced back at the pack house. 'I can't tell my parents. They'll stop me.'

Turning away, I fixed my gaze on the forest.

The guards must have guessed what I was planning because they immediately moved to block my path. "Young Miss, Alpha Magnus ordered us not to let you leave, even if it costs him his life," one of them said firmly.

Rage flared inside me, and my eyes glowed blue. I let out a low growl, the sound filled with fury. The guards faltered, nearly dropping to their knees under the weight of my power.

"Don't you dare try to stop me," I snarled. "And don't speak of nonsense. If you stand in my way, I'll kill every last one of you."

"That's the Alpha's order!" one of them stammered, lowering his head.

They weren't to blame-they were only following orders. But I didn't have time for this.

"Don't worry," I said coldly. "Your Alpha will survive. His sister won't let him dies"

With that, I pushed past them and headed into the forest.

As soon as I entered, my heart began to race. The sounds of battle-howls and growls filled with rage and pain-grew louder, telling me I was close.

I shifted, my wolf taking over, and ran as fast as I could. The only thoughts in my mind were of my

brother's safety and the hatred burning inside me for Alpha Kane.

'You won't escape tonight, Kane. Let's see how long you can stay alive.'
