Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Chapter 32 After hanging up, I let out a heavy sigh.

The cabin fell silent as I set Axel’s phone on the desk. Resting my palms on the surface, I contemplated visiting Kane’s father, Alpha Garrett. A return to that pack seemed inevitable now.

“Are you sure about going there? It could be dangerous. I don’t trust that guy,” Axel said.

“I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

“At least let me drive you,” he offered warmly.

“Thanks, but no. I’m going to visit his father, not start drama. Having you there would only make things worse.”

“How will you get there then?”

“Their pack borders ours. I can drive myself.”

That evening, I wrapped up work early. Leaving the cabin, I headed to the lobby where employees were heading home for the day. Rachel approached me with a surprised smile. “Selene! You’re leaving early for once!”

It was unusual – I typically stayed late at the office, putting in extra hours to prepare for my upcoming CEO position. Her surprise made sense.

“Got something to take care of at home, so I figured I’d head out early today,” I explained.

As we walked toward the entrance, Rachel nodded. “I noticed your birthday present from your brother outside – that sleek white car.”

I turned to her. “Keep an eye on my current project. I won’t be in tomorrow.”

Rachel looked startled. “Oh? Going somewhere?”

She immediately covered her mouth, realizing she might have overstepped by asking such a personal question.

I could see her nervousness – it came with my position as the Head Alpha’s sister and the former Luna’s daughter. Taking her hand, I gave her a warm smile. “It’s fine, Rachel. I’ll be gone briefly. Just keep things running here while I’m away.”

Her eyes brightened at my friendly response. “Of course! Don’t worry about anything – enjoy your vacation!”

I raised an eyebrow at her assumption but didn’t correct it. Let her think what she wanted.

After saying goodbye, I headed to my car where the driver held the back door open. Once inside, I sank into the seat.

I planned to leave for the Nightfall Pack tonight, but first, I needed to talk with my father.

As soon as we pulled up to the pack house, I went straight to his office. After knocking and hearing his response, I entered to find both my parents sitting close together on the couch.

“Mom, Dad. Good, you’re both here,” I said, walking toward them.

“I know what this is about,” my father said.

I mentally thanked Axel for saving me the explanation.

“I want to leave tonight,” I said, expecting resistance.

My father remained quiet for a moment, and I glanced at my equally silent mother.

Finally, Dad sighed. “Selene, you know we can’t bear to lose you again, right?”

“Dad, I’ll be fine.”

“If you’re set on going, we won’t stop you. But if anything feels off, call Magnus immediately.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at his icy tone. My usually pleasant father turned fierce whenever Kane was involved.

My family’s hatred for Kane ran deep.

“I will, Dad.”

Standing up, I said, “I need to see Luna and Leo.”

“Not before dinner with us,” Mom interjected.

“Okay, Mom.”

I headed to my children’s room, finding Luna on her bed, focused on drawing.

Sitting beside her, I said, “Luna, mom needs to go somewhere.”

“Where to, Mom?” she asked, not looking up from her artwork.

“A place called Nightfall Pack. You wouldn’t know it.”

Her hand froze mid–stroke, and she looked up at me.

“Did you say Nightfall Pack, Mom?”

I nodded, noting her sudden interest.

She smiled. “Mom, will you see that handsome uncle there?”
