"My prince The familiar voice of my personal guard reached me from a few feet away, his head bowed even though I had not bothered to open my eye "Speak" I said, my voice rougher than I intended. "It is the same as the previous reports" he answered. "No one has crossed the borders of the Mooncrest pack. No suspicious movement was detected, and anyone attempting to leave would have been reported immediately.

The borders are sealed and fully guarded." I slowly opened my eyes, staring at the pale marble wall in front of me, already knowing what he was going to say before the words even left his mouth. The same news again. For days now it had been like this. There was no lead, or clues about Selene. I had personally gone to the borders, combed through the pack territory, questioned everyone who might have known something, and searched places no one else would even think to look, all because I was convinced that whoever had taken her had to be hiding somewhere within the pack. And yet, nothing.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air, leaving behind not even a shadow to follow. I dragged a hand through my wet hair, water dripping down my arm as I exhaled slowly. My body ached from days of restless travel and sleepless nights, but it was nothing compared to the weight pressing on my chest. I should have believed she was dead by now. And yet I could not The mate bond was still there, faint but unbroken, a constant reminder that Selene was still alive somewhere out there.

If she had died, I would have felt it, would have been ripped apart by the backlash of the bond's collapse, but that pain never came. Which meant she was alive somewhere. What confused me most was not just how she had disappeared, or who that man was who had knocked me out that night, but what had been happening inside me ever since. At first, I told myself I was searching because it was my duty, because she was my mate and I was the prince of the Mooncrest pack, and I was responsible for her safety. But now, it was no longer that simple. I was worried.

I found myself wondering where she was, whether she was cold or hungry, whether she was hurt, whether anyone had dared to lay their hands on her, and every time that thought crossed my mind, something dark and violent stirred inside my chest. I frowned slightly, annoyed with myself. I was not the type of man who let emotions cloud his judgment and yet lately I kept zoning out, my thoughts dritting back to her far too often for comfort. 1/3 93% Chapter 151 No matter how hard I tried, I could not push Selene out of my mind. "Prince Adrian?" my guard called carefully.

I blinked, realizing I had gone quiet. "Leave," I said, waving my hand in dismissal without looking at him. "Yes, my prince," he replied immediately before turning and stepping out of the room, leaving me alone. 55 vouchers I closed my eyes for a brief moment, forcing myself to breathe slowly, to gather what little composure I still had, and then I stood up from the tub. Water streamed down my body as I reached for a towel from the table beside me and wrapped it around my waist, the fabric dampening as it soaked up the moisture.

Normally, female servants would be waiting nearby to assist me, but I had dismissed them all after far too many of them tried to use the opportunity to get close to me in ways I had no interest in. And right now, I wanted nothing more than silence, and answers. The moment I stepped into my darkened chamber, something felt wrong. The air was thick with a strange, unfamiliar scent, curling into my lungs in a way that made my instincts stir uneasily, and I stopped just inside the doorway. Someone was here.

My mood was already foul from days of exhaustion and unanswered questions, and the last thing I needed was an intruder bold enough to step into my private quarters. I reached for the sword resting on the table beside the door, my fingers wrapping around its hilt as I drew it free in one smooth motion "Whoever you are," I said lazily, though my voice carried a dangerous edge, "you have one second to show yourself, or the guards will be carrying your body out of this room." For a brief moment, there was nothing but silence.

My eyes flashed, and I was already preparing to strike when a soft, hurried voice broke through the darkness. "Wait... it's me." A figure stepped forward into the moonlight spilling through the window, and the world seemed to tilt beneath my feet. My sword lowered on its own. Standing there, framed by silver light, was Selene. Her black-and-white hair glimmered softly, her blue eyes lifted to me with a familiar mixture of nervousness and tenderness, and she was dressed in a thin, delicate garment that clung to her figure as if she had walked straight out of my memories.

I was not imagining her. She was really here. "Prince Adrian, I-" she began, but I did not let her finish. In a few long strides I was in front of her, my arms wrapping around her waist as I pulled her into me and claimed her lips with mine, all the restraint I had been holding onto for days finally snapping.

She gasped in surprise, clearly not expecting it, but I did not stop, the scent in the room growing stronger as kissed her as if I was afraid she would disappear again Her hands slid around my waist, a soft, excited sound escaping her lips, and when I finally pulled back I stared down at her searching her face as if I needed to convince myself that she was real 2/3 09:40 Thu, Feb 19 Chapter 151 She was. "Selene," I growled, her name leaving my lips. .93% 65 vouchers Her expression shifted for a brief second when she heard it, and she went unnaturally still before forcing a small smile.

"What is wrong?" I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly. "N-nothing," she said quickly. "Yes, I'm Selene." "Where were you all this time?" I demanded. She shook her head and brushed it aside as if it meant nothing, lifting her hands to cup my face as she smiled at me. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm here now. I missed you, Adrian. You have no idea how happy I am to finally be by your side. Now you will be mine. I want you, Adrian.

I really want you." I studied her, unease stirring deep inside me, because this warmth and eagerness were so different from the guarded, distant way she had treated me before. And yet, when she looked at me like that and spoke those words, my control slipped. My hands tightened around her waist as I leaned into her, pressing a kiss to her neck, the urge to claim her roaring through me even as a quiet instinct warned me to wait. She made a small sound as if she wanted to protest, but I silenced her with another deep kiss, lifting her into my arms and carrying her toward the bed.

Something felt off. I knew it did, but in that moment, with Selene in my arms, I did not care. Even if this was nothing more than a dream, I was willing to lose myself in it, because for the first time since she vanished, she was finally here with me. 373 !!!
