Chapter 213


    He began to thrash in the chains, no longer caring for the silver burning his skin. The feral growls


    ripping from his throat reverberate down the cave. It’s enough to have the Alpha’s stand on alert,


    moving toward their Lunas should anything happen.


    “Landon, calm down!”


    Allison tries to silence her son, moving to urge Hestia forward and help but the fear from getting too


    close to him shows in her eyes. She visibly flinched from the suggestion as horror filled her to the brim.


    She was terrified of him.


    Landon is still trying to break free from the binds holding him down. His flesh touching the silver burning


    to the point we could almost see his bones. It was absolutely disgu sting. Him and the situation we


    were in. I stand in my spot, watching him destroy himself in front of me. His fur was beginning to sprout


    from his skin but it was obvious he couldn’t fully shift. I had no doubt that Williams had put some kind of


    sedative on him. Maybe the tiniest drops of wolfsbane to nullify his shifting capabilities. Like some kind


    of buffer.


    “Selene, please.”


    I slowly turn to Harrison who now stands before me with a clenched jaw. He lets his eyes trail over to


    Landon and with resigned conviction he utters out the two words that sparked overwhelming fury inside


    me.


    “Help him.”


    Help him?


    Iugh, stepping from Raizel’s side to stand in front of Harrison. His eyes betray no emotion. I see the


    Alpha that I once trusted before me. The Alpha I once held respect for. The Alpha I once trusted. The


    Alpha that knew of the rogues’s eventual attack on Duskfall and did nothing.


    “Help him?”


    I ask, ignoring Harrison’s wince from the coldness of my tone. I narrow my eyes at him, unable to


    conceal the revulsion I felt from the mere thought of helping them.


    “Help one of the people responsible for the anguish, pain, and anger?”


    Harrison breathes out, looking at his feet. He doesn’t say anything for a second. There’s a ze one


    this eyes as he took in a shaky breath,


    “I know the rejection hurt you-”


    “The rejection!”


    Iugh again, shaking my head at the audacity.


    “You all think this is about the rejection? I couldn’t care less about the rejection. The rejection was a


    favor, Walker. I have no desire to help fil th. Filt h that watched as hundreds died even knowing


    beforehand of a rogue attack. Fil th very much like you.”


    Harrison’s eyebrows scrunched together as he shook his head. His mou th parted as he searched my


    face. Looking for something that I couldn’t begin to understand.


    “Rogue attack? Selene, what are you talking about?”


    “Really? Are we really going to y igno rance, Harrison?”


    He takes a step forward, but Raizel’s snarl stops him short. He warily looks between us before he


    90.2%


    -settles back on me,


    “Selene, I can assure you, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”


    Landon’s vicious thrashing gets louder in the background even as the guards tighten their grip on him.


    My patience began to wear thin. Curling my fists, I meet his confused eyes and grit out my words.


    “Duskfall. Can you still look me in the eye and tell me you know nothing about the warnings Xeneron


    sent specifically to you three months prior of the attack?”

    Harrison stares at me like I was anything but human. He slowly shakes his head, blinking a few times


    as if he couldn’t believe what I was asking him. He lets out a shuddered breath, lips curling into a


    pained smile as he nced over to Landon and back at me,


    “Warnings? I know my son has caused you great pain but to im I knew of a rogue attack? A rogue


    attack on Duskfall? The attack that led to the demise of hundreds? A pack we’ve had close rtions


    with? What are you talking about? We would’ve done everything we could to protect them, Selene! I


    knew nothing of-”


    “You two are mates.”


    Harrison and I look to Benicio who still hadn’t moved amidst the chaos of it all. He stared down at the


    pool, even when the color reverted back to its initial clearness.


    “You two are mates. You. Selene. The witch said Hestia was chosen. You weren’t supposed to-”


    He cuts himself off andughs,


    “It seems I chose the wrong sister. Should’ve sent Hestia to Duskfall instead.”


    Harrison stares at Benicio in silence, his body heaved with anger. The thick muscles of his back


    hunched forward as he took a step toward the Beta. The sudden waves of hostility radiating from the


    ex-Alpha seeped into every crevice of the cave. Everyone was now looking at the exchange. Even


    Hestia snapped herself out of her trance to watch. The pain in her eyes at Benicio’s words struck deep.


    “What have you done, Benicio?”


    Harrison asks- no, more like demanded. Benicio doesn’t look up. He keeps staring at the pool Harrison


    advances toward the Beta and gets within a feet from him when he finally looks up. But he looks


    passed Harrison to look right at me,


    “Tell me, Selene.”


    He tilts his head to the side,


    “How did it feel to lose child?”
