Chapter 617 The Next Plan

"Mate, don't do this to me," I whispered, desperation lacing my voice.

For a moment, hope flickered in my chest as I saw the yearning in her eyes. I was certain there was love for me too. But before I could even hold on to that hope, the high priestess raised her moonstaff, directing a beam of light straight at me. The last thing I heard before everything went dark was my mate's soft and regretful voice whispering, "I'm sorry."

Then, in the blink of an eye, I was gone, pulled from the lunar realm, and transported to my Moonglow pack. She betrayed me. Tricked me into being sent back-so she could marry some god?! No. She was my mate and mine alone. I wouldn't stop until I made her realize there was no escaping me.

"Alpha!" Maddox's voice snapped me back to reality. I turned to see him and Blair watching me, their faces etched with concern.

"Where have you been?" Blair asked, her tone sharp with worry.

I hadn't told anyone where I was going. Only Freya knew as she had shown me the way to the Lunar Realm, but she'd promised to keep it a secret. I intended to share everything once I confirmed what I felt about the mysterious woman. And now I knew-she was my mate and her name was Selena.

"It's a long story," I said with a deep exhale, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Okay?!" Blair said, her frustration clear as she crossed her arms. "But we were worried, Zander. You disappeared without a word. You didn't tell anyone where you were going!"

Her complaint stung a little, but I couldn't blame her.

"I am your Beta, Zander. At least you should confide in me," Maddox whined.
