Chapter 60: Chapter 60

Selene

I sat on my bed, wallowing in thoughts. My eyes were filled with unshed tears as I ruminated over what had happened in Freya's pack. What happened isn't what I had expected, but I knew that there was nothing I could do other than watch as things unfold.

It hurt me to know that Lucius was given a chance to be with Freya. I felt my heart being ripped apart, and all I could feel was pain. The pain of my mate leaving me and now Lucius. I knew that I should have been over him a long time ago, but I'm not. I could still feel myself getting attached to him. I couldn't help but wonder if the moon goddess had made all this happen purposefully because I had made a mistake in my first life.

I couldn't help but wonder if things were going to return to how they were before, and I knew that they could not return to how they were before, and there was nothing that would make them return.

I knew that all I could do was move on with my life, but what happened then was still on my mind. I couldn't take it off my head. It was as if it were glued to my head; I can't seem to take the scene out of my mind. I could remember the auras that came out of his body when the alpha changed into his werewolf form, but I can't remember the void in his eyes. He surprised me by winning against the alpha, and not only that, he did it twice.

He threw the alpha out of the ring twice, and what I couldn't take out of my head is the scene of him making everyone present bow to him, and there are only a few remaining who were present that didn't bow to him. I couldn't help but wonder how he was able to be strong like that to make Alpha's bow to him. The last time I remember, he was an omega, and I couldn't help but think that all that happened because his mate is an alpha, but I doubt if it is possible.

I sighed heavily as I stood up from the bed and walked toward the window, staring out through the window. I stared at the moon, which shone brightly, and it illuminated the tears that were steaming down my face. I couldn't help but wonder why I was crying. I walked toward the bed sadly, and I got under the duvet with the intention of sleeping, but I couldn't sleep.

I keep tossing to and fro while trying to find ways to sleep, but I can't. My eyes were filled with confusion as I dragged the duvet over my head, and I closed my eyes while breathing softly while trying to find ways to remove the image that seemed to be stuck to my head, but I couldn't.

I sighed heavily as I dragged the duvet away from my head, and I stood up while switching on the light with a frown on my face. I was sitting on the bed, and suddenly I heard a whiff sound heading into my room. I looked around while on high alert. My eyes were wide open, and I bolted toward the direction of the lamp, and I switched it on to see an arrow heading into my room quickly. I slid on the floor, watching as the arrow impaled itself on the wall.

I stood up with shaky breaths, not knowing what to do. I couldn't help but wonder what it was. I knew that something or someone was in my room, and with that thought in my head, I looked around, trying to see what made the sound. I wasn't able to think straight; my mind was in disarray.

My body froze with shock as my eyes landed on an arrow that was impaled on the wall. I shivered as I stared at the arrow, not knowing what to do. I knew that my life was in danger, but I couldn't help but wonder who I had offended and who would want to kill me. I knew that I hadn't offended anybody, and why I would be wanted dead doesn't make sense. My eyes glazed over as I saw something attached to the string of the arrow. I walked toward the arrow shakily while staring around to be sure that this wasn't the sole kind of trap, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that there was no one around.

I pulled the letter away from the arrow, and I immediately stepped back, knowing that some kind of surprise might come with that. I glanced around with fear again, wanting to be sure that there was no one around. My eyes were wide open, and my ears were on high alert.

I opened the letter, and what I saw shocked me to my bone marrow. I couldn't help but brawl back in shock. My eyes were filled with nervousness. The letter came from the head council, who had told me to inform Lucius to back out of the duel. He had told me that Lucius would be beaten and might get killed in the fight, but none of that happened. My eyes were filled with anger. I couldn't believe that the one who told me that Lucius would be killed just sent me a letter through an arrow.

What was he thinking when he sent the letter? I knew for a fact that the head council must have sent someone who is around here to send me the letter. I couldn't help but wonder why someone like that would still send me a letter.

He had lied to me about getting beaten or killed. I knew that he was being beaten at the beginning of the match, and I was glad that not until the table turned around and the person who was expected to beat him got beaten and humiliated, and not only that, he made everyone present submit to him.

'I will need your help soon. I know that things go south this time, but next time he won't escape it. If you dare try to back out, or you dare try to spill all this out, count yourself dead.'

My eyes were filled with shock as I finished reading the letter. My blood turned cold, and I sat on the bed while trying to process everything that was happening. My eyes were furrowed into confusion, not knowing what to do. I couldn't believe that he would someday threaten me.

I felt my heart ache, knowing that all this would have been avoided if I had followed Sandra's word. She told me not to go to Freya's pack, but I did.

I walked toward the bed, and I sat down while ruminating over what was happening. My gaze hardened as I stared at the arrow, which was still impaled on the wall. I knew that the head council doesn't care about me but himself. I knew that there was nothing I could do to go against him. All he cares about is nothing other than getting his wish done. I knew that he didn't want Lucius to be with Freya.

I knew that I should be happy that he doesn't want Lucius to be with Freya, but I knew that his ways might be extreme. I knew that he might harm Lucius, which I don't want. I don't know why I'm getting worried about him after all he has done.
