Chapter 162

After getting dressed, I stepped out of my room and into the hallway.

I couldn't deny that Kane had provided us with an enormous house, one that was nearly identical to the one we used to live in before everything fell apart. When his gamma first informed us that we would be moving here, I assumed it would be a much smaller house-maybe two rooms at most.

But when we arrived, I was stunned. The house was massive, with staff to take care of it. There were maids and servants everywhere, and three cars parked outside, ready for use.

Still, none of it mattered to me. I had declined most of the luxuries. What good were these things when I couldn't even have my children back? That day, I remembered Delta Derek saying something that left me feeling uneasy.

"Selene, you're a lucky woman. Not every woman has what you have," he'd said.

Even a month later, I couldn't figure out what he meant by those words. It didn't feel like luck to me. In fact, it felt like a cruel kind of punishment. Eventually, I decided to stop dwelling on it.

The only thing keeping me sane was the ability to see my children through video calls. It wasn't enough, but it was all I had.

As I walked toward Magnus's room, I passed a group of maids chatting in the hallway, their eyes glued to their phones. Curious, I glanced at one of their screens and immediately rolled my eyes.

They were fawning over pictures of Kane that had been posted online. Alpha Kane.

Why were women always drawn to bad guys? Couldn't they see that there were plenty of good men out there in the world? I shook my head as I walked past them.

The maids noticed me and quickly hid their phones, looking embarrassed. I didn't bother saying anything, just kept walking until I reached Magnus's room.

The sound of soft sobs greeted me as soon as I entered.

My mother was sitting beside my brother's bed, tears streaming down her face. I clenched my jaw as I looked at Magnus, who had been lying there, unresponsive, for an entire month.

Nathan had taken charge of his treatment. He'd done everything he could but had been blunt in his assessment: there was no chance Magnus would survive. The poison coursing through his veins was unlike anything Nathan had seen before, and he hadn't been able to find a cure.

But I wasn't ready to give up. I'd spent weeks trying to track down Doctor Grayson Vale, a renowned healer, but I hadn't been able to reach him. Rumor had it he'd left the country, but I refused to believe

My mother's tear-filled eyes lit up when she noticed me, as if she were holding onto the faint hope that I had some kind of solution.

I couldn't face her. Without saying a word, I turned around and left the room.

Once outside, I pulled out my phone and dialed Grayson's number again. The result was the same as it had been every other time: unreachable.

Frustrated, I stepped outside the house, my eyes falling on the two cars that had been sitting untouched for the entire month. My father only used one of them occasionally, traveling back to our old pack to check on Axel. Axel, too, was in critical condition, and I'd been searching for a cure for him

as well.

I couldn't let myself think too much about it. I hailed a taxi and headed to my destination.

When the taxi pulled up, I stepped out and looked up at the sign in front of me. A small smile broke across my face despite everything weighing on me.

"Shadow & Moon."

It was the coffee shop where I'd been working as a waitress for the past month.

As I entered, the owner greeted me warmly. She was a kind woman, always optimistic.

"Good morning, Selene," she said with a grin. "A new day, a new beginning."

I smiled back, grateful for her positivity, even if I didn't entirely share it. This place had become my only escape, a small pocket of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic life.
