Chapter 22 The Alpha is Dead
Selene’s POV
“Selene, are you ready?” Odette is knocking on the dressing room door, her kind voice unusually somber.
“Yes.” I call, smoothing my skirts. “You can come in.”
The door pushes open, and my mother-in-law’s lovely face peeks inside. She sidles through the narrow opening, approaching me with a wistful expression. “Oh my darling.” Odette murmurs bleakly, her eyes shining as she studies my reflection. “I really thought you two would make it.”

She opens her mouth to speak but before any words can escape, all the blood drains from her face in a frenzied rush, leaving her white as a sheet.

Her mouth is opening and closing soundlessly, her body trembling beneath my hands. “It’s Gabriel.”
Before I can stop her, Odette rips herself from my hold, flying out of the room and down the hall. I race after her, blood rushing in my ears. I’ve never seen someone look so anguished, so afraid.
