“Hello, Nina,” the Luna said.

She wore all white. Even her hair, her eyelashes, and her eyebrows were pure white, and her skin was as pale as a ghost. The only bit of color on her were her red eyes, staring out at me with disdain. But while her eyes glared coldly at me, there was a smile on her face. I felt as though I was looking into the face of someone who wanted nothing more than to kill me.

With the force of the Luna’s shove, Selena fell backwards down the small set of stairs that led up to the throne, where the Alpha King still sat with a blank expression on his face. Selena crumpled to the floor and continued to sob quietly, curled up in a fetal position. With an agitated sigh, the Luna picked up her skirt and slowly walked down the steps, then placed her shoe on Selena’s head and rubbed it into Selena’s temple.

“You’re pathetic,” the Luna growled. “I can’t believe you let yourself turn into a filthy human… You’re useless, and I never should have trusted you with this job.”

I lifted my hand to open a portal, hoping to do it before the Luna turned back around, but without even looking at me she seemed to know what I was doing and snapped her fingers again. In that instant, I felt another invisible force shove me to the ground. It was even stronger than the spell that Selena cast earlier, and
