"What brings you here so urgently, High Priestess?" I asked, my voice laced with the authority of the Alpha King of the North.

"I have come to take Selena back to the Lunar Realm," she replied calmly, her tone betraying no emotion. "That's not possible. She is my mate and she will stay with me," I stated firmly, my eyes narrowing as I observed her closely.

Ignoring me entirely, she turned toward Selena, her focus unwavering. "Selena, you have stayed here longer than necessary. Your people need you. Please return with me."

Her words were polite, but the command in her tone was unmistakable, making my frown deepen. No matter that Selena was her daughter, the High Priestess had no authority over her. Selena wasn't just anyone she was the queen of the Lunar Realm, a goddess in her own right.

But Selena remained calm, her gaze steady as she looked at the sleeping Auston. She gestured for me to step out, and I followed her lead without a word. She slipped out after me, quietly shutting the door behind her.

While the rest of us were caught up in arguments and trying to win, she was just worried about not disturbing Austin's sleep.

I smirked, recalling how she had reacted earlier. The moment she learned Austin was sick, she had practically flown to his side, panic written all over her face. Her worry had been unmatched-far beyond anything I'd seen from anyone else in that room.

Yes, Blair and Anne cared for Austin. My mother, too, loved him dearly. But Selena? Her anxiety, her fear, her unrelenting demand to fix the situation-those were the instincts of a mother.
