I turned my gaze away from Axel, unable to find the right words. Even though I no longer had feelings for Kane, that didn’t mean I wanted him dead. But how dare he attack my pack?

Not only that–he chose to strike when my brother was sick. Kane knew that waging war against us in this moment gave him an advantage.

‘What a pathetic excuse for an Alpha you are, Kane! If you harm my brother or even so much as scratch him, I swear I won’t let you walk away unscathed,‘ I thought bitterly.

I watched as my brother walked out of the pack house with Axel. His officials, who had come to escort him, followed closely behind.

Once they left, I found myself staring at the door, which was firmly shut after their departure. Magnus had ordered the door to remain closed until the war was over.

There was a second door at the back of the pack house, built long ago to protect the royal family in times of danger. My father tried to console my mother, assuring her that everything would be fine.

I glanced at my children and instructed the maids to put them to bed. I steeled my heart, forcing myself to stay calm, even as emotions churned inside me.

“Mommy, we don’t want to sleep. Why is everyone crying? Where did Uncle go?” Luna tugged at my hand with her tiny fingers, her wide eyes full of questions.

“Luna, go back to your room with your brother,” I said, my tone colder than I intended.

She flinched at my words, and Leo grabbed her hand, gently pulling her toward their room.

“Don’t make Mommy upset. Let’s just go to bed,” Leo urged her softly.

Lowering her head, Luna followed him, glancing back at me with a confused expression. I had nothing to say to her right now.

This was a life–or–death situation, and I needed to protect my children from any danger.

I paced back and forth in the living room, waiting for news from the fighters. An hour passed, and still, no one had come to inform us of the situation. My patience was wearing thin, so I headed toward the entrance.
