"I don't want to leave you here alone, Selene, Axel finally spoke, breaking the quiet. "Axel, I'm not a child," I reassured him.
"There are a lot of Alphas here," he pointed out, concern still evident in his voice.
"I heard everyone is leaving by noon. Besides, you should trust me I can take care of myself."
"I do trust you."
He got out of the car, shutting the door behind him. Then, stepping up to the window, he murmured. "Be careful. Come back to our pack soon."
I gave him a small nod. "I will."
I watched as he disappeared into the hotel to check out, then called a cab to take him straight to the airport.
"Boss, are you sure you'll be okay here without any security?" Rachel asked hesitantly. "I don't mean to question you, but maybe we should come back another time. We can leave with Axel."
Leaning back in my seat, I replied, "I'll be fine, Rachel. You don't need to worry. Besides, I could use some fresh air.
She bit her lip, nodding reluctantly.
"Start the car," I instructed the driver.
With that, the car pulled away, heading toward our destination.
We spent the day exploring the pack's territory. There were a handful of tourist attractions, though most of the roads ran alongside dense forest.
Our main stop was the Moonveil Pack Museum, where we got to see the history of this pack carved into stone.
The Moonveil Pack was one of the oldest. Centuries ago, they lived solely in their wolf forms, roaming the forests freely. But over time, they adapted to a more modern lifestyle, integrating into human society.
"Wow," Rachel murmured, eyes widening at something ahead.
"Boss, look at that!" she said excitedly, pointing toward a beautifully bound book displayed on a golden. pedestal
Curious, we walked over.
Rachel, unable to hide her excitement, eagerly flipped open the book
"Careful," I warned as she turned the first page too quickly.
She slowed down, carefully skimming through the aged pages.
The book contained countless stories of wolves. One particular page caught rgy attention.

"Wait," I said, stopping Rachel from flipping further.
She glanced at me, then read aloud, "Alphas with black fur are the most powerful wolves. However, there are two distinct kinds of black wolves-both feared by the pack."
Rachel looked up at me, puzzled. "I've never seen a black wolf before. Boss, what color is our Alpha's wolf?"
"Gray," I answered absentmindedly, my eyes still locked on the book's text.
A pair of red eyes flashed in my memory. I had never actually seen his wolf. I had no idea what it loo ked like.
Shaking the thought away, I returned my focus to the museum. There was so much history here.
After we left. Rachel excitedly went shopping for her family. The entire day, she was buzzing with enthusiasm, and seeing her so happy made me feel lighter as well.
I also bought some clothes-for my children.
Rachel didn't know about my twins, so she kept asking whom I was shopping for. I told her I was buying gifts for a friend's kids.
I wanted to tell her about Leo and Luna, but I couldn't. And I certainly couldn't tell her that their father was Kane. That was a risk I wasn't willing to take.
That evening, after having dinner at a charming little restaurant popular with tourists, we headed back to the hotel.
As the car drove through the forest, I turned to look out the window, watching the darkened landscape blur past.
The moon was full and glowing brightly. I tilted my head slightly, closing my eyes, letting the cool night air and moonlight wash over me.
Then, out of nowhere, the car came to an abrupt stop.
Rachel and I lurched forward slightly from the sudden halt.
"What happened?" I asked the driver.
"Miss, let me check," he said before stepping out.
Rachel turned to me. "Boss, maybe I should go see-
"No. Stay here," I interrupted. "I'll check."
Rachel was young-and an Omega. There was no way I was letting her put herself at risk.
I stepped out of the car and walked over to the driver.
He glanced at me. "I called a mechanic. He'll be here in a few minutes."
I nodded and waited, glancing toward the forest.
The only light came from the car's headlights. Beyond that, everything was swallowed in darkness. The
trees were so thick that the moonlight barely touched the ground.
"There he is," the driver said, pulling my attention away from the trees.

Chapter tor
A man on a motorcycle approached, carrying a toolbox.
After paying him to speed up the repairs, I found my gaze drifting back to the forest.
Something caught my eye
A dark figure-moving fast.
I blinked, trying to focus, but whatever it was had already disappeared to the other side of the road.
Turning back toward the car, I leaned down to the window.
"I'll be back in a few minutes. Stay inside, okay?"
"Boss, I want to come with you," Rachel protested.
"No. The driver is a trusted man of Alpha Darius. He's the only one we can rely on here. I won't be long. - just wait for me."
She hesitated, then nodded.
I turned and walked toward the forest.
I glanced left and right before stepping in, curiosity pulling me forward.
I wandered into the woods, scanning the area. But after several minutes, I still hadn't spotted anything.
Then, my phone vibrated inside my purse.
It was a message from Rachel:
"Boss, where are you? The driver says we're good to go. The car is fixed."
Texhaled sharply. I should head back.
But as I turned around, my stomach dropped.
I had no idea which way led back.
Frantically, I pulled up the map on my phone-only to see the no signal icon flashing.
Panic started creeping in.
"Shit." I muttered. "I lost my way."
I turned in circles, trying to recognize something-anything-that would point me in the right direction. But
the deeper I looked, the more unfamiliar everything seemed.
Frustrated, I picked a direction and started walking.
Then=
A low, guttural growl echoed through the trees
I froze, my breath hitching.
My instincts screamed at me to turn and run-but instead, my feet moved forward, drawn toward the sound
against my will
I had no control over my body. It was as if something deep inside me needed to get closer.
And then I saw it.

A massive black wolf, standing in a small clearing where the moonlight managed to break through the trees.
Its head was lifted toward the sky, glowing silver eyes locked onto the moon.
My entire body trembled as it let out a haunting howl.
I couldn't look away.
I had never seen this wolf before.
But its scent-
It told me exactly who he was.
Kane.
My heart pounded as the wolf lowered its head, turning slowly in my direction.
Then, those piercing red eyes met mine.
And I couldn't breathe..
