Chapter 406 

Selene instinctively stepped back, her mind spinning as she tried to decipher Storm’s words. 

“What are you talking about?” she asked, confusion etched across her face. 

Lost in thought, Selene barely noticed the rogue charging toward her until it was too late. Its claws raked across her arm, a sharp, searing pain snapping her out of her daze. Furious, she spun around with a guttural growl, her wolf taking over as she lunged at the rogue. With swift, brutal efficiency, she ended its life before turning her attention back to Gamma Storm. 

Nearby, Delta Derek and Theta Gideon were locked in a fierce battle with more rogues. 

“We’ve lost Alpha Kane and Beta Finn in the fight,” Delta Derek’s voice cut through the chaos via the mind link. 

Selene’s breath hitched as dread crawled up her spine. “Did they… did they get caught in the fire?” she asked, her voice trembling. 

For a brief moment, all three officials glanced her way, their expressions grim. Then, one by one, they 

shook their heads. 

“No, they were with us during the battle,” their collective response came through the mind link, attempting to reassure her. 

Selene exhaled deeply, her chest tightening. She clung to the hope that they had simply strayed too far during the fight and would return soon. They had to. 

“We’ll find them. Don’t worry,” Magnus called out amidst the fray, his voice steady even as he fought off another rogue. 

Taking strength from her brother’s words, Selene refocused on the fight. Her wolf, massive and relentless, tore through the remaining rogues with a vengeance. She wouldn’t allow a single one to escape. Magnus and his team fought alongside her, their combined strength overwhelming. The pack warriors who had joined them ensured that the rogues learned whose territory they had dared to 

invade. 

When the battle finally ended, Selene didn’t waste a second. She broke into a run. 

“Where are you going?” Axel’s voice came from behind her. 

Without stopping, Selene called back over her shoulder, “I’m going to find Kane and Finn. I’ve been trying to reach them through the mind link, but it’s not working. How could they have gone so far, and if they didn’t, why would they block the link?” 

Magnus, watching her determined figure disappear into the distance, sighed. “Let her go,” he told Axel. “She won’t listen to anyone right now.” 

Then, turning to his men, he issued a command. “We’re going after her.” He wouldn’t let his sister face this alone. Kane’s officials, loyal to their Alpha and acknowledging Selene as their Luna, joined them without hesitation. 

The hours turned into a long, grueling night, yet there was no sign of Kane or Finn. 

“Kane, this isn’t funny! Where are you?” Selene’s desperate voice echoed through the mind link as she

tried again and again to reach him 

Meanwhile, Magnus had dispatched instructions to the fire department and the medics, ordering them to search for any survivors who might have been caught in the blaze. Though he didn’t say it aloud, his fears were mounting–what if Kane had been injured, or worse? 

By the time Selene reached the border of another pack’s territory, her wolf came to an abrupt halt Frustration and anger boiled to the surface, and she clawed furiously at the dirt beneath her paws. Her glowing blue eyes fixated on the distant hill that marked the edge of the forest. She knew she couldn’t just cross into another pack’s land without formal permission. The same rules applied to Kane–he would never intrude without announcing himself first. 

But where was he? 

Her packmates pleaded with her to return to the packhouse, their voices weary yet soothing as they promised Kane and Finn would return soon. Selene ignored them all. Driven by fear and desperation, she scoured every border, every inch of their territory, refusing to give up. The thought of losing him was unraveling her sanity. 

Three agonizing days passed. Selene remained in her wolf form, refusing to shift back or return home She hadn’t eaten, hadn’t rested, and her body was beginning to fail her. Magnus, worried and desperate, resorted to a harsh truth. 

“Your children won’t survive if you don’t come back,” he told her. “They need at least one parent to stay strong.” 

The mention of her and Kane’s twins finally broke through the haze of grief. For their sake, Selene forced herself to return to the packhouse. But she came back empty–handed, her heart shattered by the weight of uncertainty.
