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.

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
