Selena grinned. “Weren’t expecting me to find you, huh?” she asked in a sing-song voice. “I guess you should’ve thought about that before you decided to daze every single one of my guards at once. Nice move, by the way. I must admit that I’m quite impressed.”

I narrowed my eyes. I went to take a step forward, but when I did, I suddenly came to the realization that some invisible force was holding my feet down to the floor. I felt heavy all of a sudden, like my body was filled with bricks. It even hurt to breathe.

“You know, no matter what you two seem to think, I’m not an idiot,” Selena said, checking her fingernails nonchalantly as she sauntered up to us. Beside me, Enzo looked as though he was trying to speak, but something was holding his mouth shut. When Selena heard his mumbles through his closed lips as he tried to speak, she just laughed abrasively at him before turning back to look at me.

“No one thinks you’re an idiot, Selena,” I said, curling my hands up into fists at my sides. “Quite the opposite.”

Selena chuckled. “Is that why you’ve been trying to stop me every which way you can?” she asked, then leaned closer to me and lowered her voice. “I found your friend from earlier, by the way. What was his name? Frank? It’s a shame… He was so loyal to you, and for what? All he did was scream and call his wife’s name at the end.”

My eyes widened. “What the fuck did you do to him?” I growled. I tried to lunge at Selena, but it was no use. My body was too heavy, and I only fell forward onto my hands and knees like my limbs were made of wet noodles.

They trusted humans; they thought that humans could live in harmony with werewolves… But they couldn’t. Humans ruin everything.” She paused, and walked over to the third panel. “After hundreds of years of peace, the humans got too cocky for their own good. Their egos grew. They decided that they wanted all of the power, and that werewolves were just a threat to them. So, they killed our king. Our Alpha. But, what they didn’t know was that the Alpha had a mate,
