Hearing Selene’s response, I scowled at her.

“Dead? How?” I demanded, stepping closer.

The woman standing before me wasn’t broken. She wasn’t the same woman who used to stammer in my presence–she was strong now, unafraid, and defiant.

“You don’t need to know about him.”

I took another step forward, narrowing the space between us. Her gaze pierced through me, stirring something I couldn’t quite name.

How could she stand so confidently in front of me after everything she had done?

“You need to answer me before you leave. My mercy isn’t for everyone.”

I tried to intimidate her, hoping to pry the truth from her lips.

She glanced toward the room where Luna had just gone. I could see the fear flickering in her eyes–not for herself, but for her daughter.

What she didn’t realize was that I would never harm the girl. Something about her unsettled me all day. She was young but spoke with a striking confidence. And more than that, I felt a connection to her, just as I had with Leo. The thought that the boy didn’t like me irritated me more than I cared to admit. If it had been any other child, I wouldn’t have cared at all.

Lowering my voice, I murmured, “Could they be my children?”

“NO WAY,” Selene snapped, cutting me off.

But her expression betrayed her words.

A flicker of hope ignited in my chest. What if they were mine?

The thought alone sent a strange sensation through me.

“Are you hiding my children from me?” I studied her face, searching for the truth.
