Chapter 94: Selene!
Lottle POV
Pulling the door open with my eyes glued to the guys behind me, I watched as they circled their prey and chuckled to myself and stepped through the door, expecting to step out into the hallway. But I found myself blinded by a white light so pure and unformidable I needed to reach for the doorframe to steady myself, but it
was gone.
“What?” I inhaled as I looked back for the office door, only to see it was no longer there, nothing was, just a never–ending mass of pristine white light.
“Am I dead?” I whispered to Sage, who remained deathly silent. I could sense her and her disbelief. I knew from the feelings washing down our bond that she knew where we were but struggled to process it.
“No, Charlotte.” A lovely voice laughed; my eyes shot to the source of the sound, knowing before my eyes fell on the beautiful silhouette who it was.
“Selene!” I gasped, swallowing the lump that stuck in my throat as she approached, her skin flawless and untainted by the hardships we mortals knew; her hair of icy white and floating around her as if she was locked in her own gravity–free bubble. Her dress was so unsoiled and virginal it looked like it had been spun by elves. To my surprise, even her eyes were pure white, matching the light that surrounded us, but it was her pink lips that drew my attention as they were the only colour in the room beside me.
“I heard your prayer; come sit with me.” Selene’s sweet voice cooed as she
walked over to a water fountain.
“I Follow, right?” I asked Sage, who was struggling to form words.
“When in the presence of the moon goddess, you do not refuse anything.” She whispered back eventually.

“I had hoped you would come to sit with me because you wanted to.” She smiled at me as she ran her hand through the fresh waters.
“Can you read my mind?” I asked with an air of disbelief around me.
“How else would I have heard your prayer earlier?” She asked with a grin that made me feel like I had just asked the world’s silliest question.
“I don’t know.” I admitted from where I stood.
“Are you happy, Charlotte?” She asked, her fingers still immersed in the water.
“Here… with you?” I asked, confused. Did I feel happy? I felt at peace, yes… but I wouldn’t say I was happy. I missed my mates, and the worry for Sebastian was still heavy on my soul.
“With your life?” She chuckled, the sound so light and beautiful I would never forget it.
“Does it matter?” I asked plainly as I joined her on the white stone wall. I followed her fingers into the fountain to see beautiful fish of every colour swimming around her fingers.
“Yes. I think so… I think it matters a lot!” She expressed with a thoughtful look.
“I am not unhappy; I have a better life than most,” I admitted after thinking about her question.
“I see.” She smiled as if I had given her a secret message within my simple.
statement.
“Is that not what you wanted to hear?” I asked, dipping my fingers into the pool of water, more to feel something than engage with the fish. I was god knows where, but everything felt so light and almost… surreal that I had hoped the cool waters would remind me that I was still alive, but instead, as I pierced the water with my fingers, I felt disappointment wash over when I felt nothing but air.
“I must be dead,” I whispered to Sage, only to pull another chuckle from.

“You are not dead!” she stated again, “I just wanted to speak to you before I made my decision and get a grasp of who you are..” She expressed thoughtfully.
“I am confused. Didn’t you make us all? Don’t you know me already?” I admitted,
“Usually, yes!” She smiled at me, and I knew she was holding back for some reason, but I decided I trusted her enough to know I didn’t need the answer to that question, or she would have told me it. Her approving rasp had me smiling as I looked down at my hand to see two beautiful fish of green and orange swimming between my fingers. I could see their fins rubbing up against my fingers but felt nothing.
“You can not feel them because if you got a taste of the power of this universe, you might not wish to return, and you don’t belong here.” She answered me with a smile
“You still have work to do in the ‘real‘ world.” She smiled sweetly at me, my heart leaping at the idea of returning my mates.
“With my boys?” I asked, and she nodded slowly.
“With your family, yes!” I felt the tears swell on my lids and flicked them off, only to curse because I had finally felt something. Looking down at my fingers as they wound through the fabric of my gown, I sighed, seeing Kane’s blood coating his mother’s dress and decided to ask the question on my lips.
“So you saved Kane for me?” I asked hope, finally bursting in my chest, for if she had done it once.. could she do it twice?
“No.” She shook her head. “That was you.” She smiled while her free hand. grazed the fabric of my dress, and I watched in astonishment as the blood. disappeared until the dress looked as good as new, better than when I had been gifted it.
“Thank you, Laura will be..” Happy? Was I really about to say that? Laura.had

just lost her mate, so something told me she didn’t give two hoots about her dress.
“She will be ok.” Selene nodded to me. “I have seen many Lunas in my time. Laura is stronger than most! WHEN not infected by darkness.” I lifted my eyes, hearing the sadness in her voice. I never gave much thought to what it must be like to outlive everyone, to watch people you have come to love and care for suffer and die. Selene has a job I could never do…
“And why is that?” She asked, and I rolled my eyes with a smile, remembering she was reading my every thought.
“Because it takes strength to fight to save someone. But it takes real strength to let them go when it is their time. And I could not do that! I would want to save..”
“Everybody!” Selene finished my sentence with a smile that did not quite reach
her eyes.
“Life is not eternal, sweet Charlotte, not for everyone.” I sighed, knowing she was right, but there were loved ones I was unwilling to give up on.
“Who..” She asked with a raised brow. “If I told you now that you could save one… Alpha Leigh or Alpha Sebastian.. who would you pick?” She asked, and I allowed myself to truly hope for the first time since seeing Havoc rip the hall apart that I might hear Leigh’s laugh once more.
“Can I not have both?” I asked greedily.
“Not without great personal cost!” Selene’s gentle and non judgmental words had my heart racing with the bittersweet feeling of yearning!
