Chapter 0374 Nina

"Hello, Nina," the Luna said.

She wore all white. Even her hair, her eyelashes, and her eyebrows were pure white, and her skin was as pale as a ghost. The only bit of color on her were her red eyes, staring out at me with disdain. But while her eyes glared coldly at me, there was a smile on her face. I felt as though I was looking into the face of someone who wanted nothing more than to kill me.

"M-Mother!" Selena yelled, scrambling to her feet. She scurried over to the Luna, blubbering and whining over the fact that she was a human now. But the Luna only grimaced and, much to my surprise, shoved Selena away.

With the force of the Luna's shove, Selena fell backwards down the small set of stairs that led up to the throne, where the Alpha King still sat with a blank expression on his face. Selena crumpled to the floor and continued to sob quietly, curled up in a fetal position. With an agitated sigh, the Luna picked up her skirt and slowly walked down the steps, then placed her shoe on Selena's head and rubbed it into Selena's temple.

"You're pathetic," the Luna growled. "I can't believe you let yourself turn into a filthy human... You're useless, and I never should have trusted you with this job."

"M-Mother, I'm sorry!" Selena whined, clawing at the Luna's skirt with her hands and begging. "Please turn me back! I promise I'll do better this time!"

The Luna only rolled her eyes and stepped over Selena. Enzo and I began to back away, but the Luna just followed us. She raised her hand and snapped, and I heard the doors to the throne room slam shut behind us. I heard the sound of a large, heavy deadbolt clicking into place from the other side; we were locked in here with her.

I still couldn't ask any of these questions. The pressure on my body was too great. I felt as though I would sink through the floor, down into the earth.
