I couldn’t wrap my mind around what my brother meant by telling me not to trust anyone. 

There was only one person I struggled to trust, but Magnus himself had handed over our pack to him. 

I turned my gaze toward Magnus’s unconscious form. ‘Why did you do it, Magnus?‘ I asked silently, my heart aching for answers. 

He couldn’t respond, not in his condition. But I needed to know what he had learned–what truth he wanted to share before everything fell apart. 

I clung to the hope that he would wake up soon, that he’d take back his rightful place, and we’d return to the golden days we once knew. 

The room was steeped in silence. No one dared to speak, as if saying anything might make the 

situation even worse. 

Finally, my father broke the stillness with a heavy sigh. “Maybe… maybe he did it to save us from Alpha Hunter’s attack. That’s why he surrendered.” 

I listened to him, but I couldn’t form an opinion. The truth was undeniable: the head Alpha of our pack was now Kane. That single fact loomed over everything else. 

I shifted my gaze to my children, my heart tightening. I’d already lost the pack. I couldn’t bear to lose my babies too. 

“Mom? Dad? What do I do now?” I asked, my voice trembling. “Kane knows the truth. He won’t stay quiet. He’s going to act. I can feel it.” 

My mother came over and wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into her warmth. Tears welled in my eyes as I clung to her. 

“Why didn’t you two run away through the back door?” I whispered, the words shaking with emotion. “You could’ve saved yourselves.” 

I wasn’t blaming them, but the thought haunted me. The back door had been their chance to escape. What if one of them had lost their life in the chaos? 

My mother pulled back, looking me in the eyes. “Selene, Alpha Hunter’s wolves attacked the pack house from the back door.” 

Her words hit me like a slap. “What? How did they know about it?” 

My father stepped closer, resting a hand on my head. I looked up at him, tears streaming down my 

face. 

“We tried to protect your children,” he said softly. “I even told your mother to escape. But just as she was about to leave, they broke in through the back door. It was as if they already knew about it.” 

I stared at him, stunned. “But, Dad, only we knew about the door. No one outside the Alpha’s family and his officials was aware of it.” 

“Maybe Alpha Hunter found it when he came here for the pack meeting,” our theta offered hesitantly. 

It was a plausible explanation, but it didn’t make me feel any better. I sank down onto the bed, hopeless and overwhelmed. I didn’t know where things would go from here.

Axel’s voice broke through my thoughts. “But, Selene, why did you come to the battlefield? Didn’t Magnus tell you to stay inside?”

I turned to look at him, my expression hardening. “Why did Magnus forbid the guards from giving me any information about the war?” 

“It was for your safety,” Axel replied.
