Chapter 229: I would wish that everyone forgot…
Selene POV
The moon goddess stared at me for a few minutes and then shook her head
"I’m sorry, but I cannot!" she replied after a few minutes. "If Kragen finds out, he’ll try to save you. It’ll put him at risk,".
"You said my death will be irreversible, right... he won’t stand a chance," I cried. "Please... He needs to know that I choose this for myself. He needs to know at least that much; my death will break him and I know this. He’s that way...".
She shook her head again, giving me an apologetic smile "I’m sorry Selene but I cannot grant that wish. You can ask me for anything but that. I need to leave now...".
Without waiting for a reply from me she vanished. I remained there for a few minutes, unable to say a word or think. As I turned to climb down the mountain, I spotted Kurtis at the bottom of the hill staring at me. Trying to wipe off the worst of the tears, I came down mustering a smile as I walked towards him.
"It’s been ages, Kurtis," I said with a bright smile "What brings you here you should be careful, Noah is in the pack now, I wouldn’t want you to run into any trouble with him,".
"He was the one who invited me," he said quietly, studying my face. "He’s going to reinstate me as Alpha and also has given Xavier his former position as Coalition leader. I am to assist him just as we planned originally,".
"Oh, goddess!" I squealed with joy "That’s the best news ever, Kurtis. I’m so happy for you... are you happy?"
