**Chapter 822**<\/p>\n
As I pondered the implications of my words, a sinking feeling settled in my stomach. It seemed I had unwittingly placed a target squarely on our backs. Perhaps I had been naive to think that speaking such a secret aloud would go unnoticed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what do you know about Lila\u2019s powers?\u201d Selene inquired, her tone surprisingly devoid of anger. Instead, curiosity danced in her voice, making me wonder what thoughts were swirling in her mind.<\/p>\n
I sighed, feeling the weight of the truth settle heavily on my shoulders. \u201cHonestly, I know pretty much what everyone else knows,\u201d I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. \u201cEver since you came out of hiding, whispers and rumors have been circulating through the different territories like wildfire.\u201d<\/p>\n
Selene looked down, a hint of embarrassment coloring her cheeks. \u201cI\u2019m afraid I\u2019m still a bit out of the loop when it comes to all the territory gossip and pack news,\u201d she admitted, her voice tinged with a sheepishness that made me soften towards her. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not on social media, so please forgive my ignorance about whatever rumors you\u2019re referring to.\u201d<\/p>\n
A lump formed in my throat as I grappled with the unexpected direction our conversation had taken. I couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that we were treading on dangerous ground, and my mind raced with the potential consequences of our discussion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell\u2026 um\u2026\u201d I stammered, searching for the right words, my thoughts a jumbled mess. \u201cIt\u2019s said that she was born with an immense power, one that her tiny, infant body could barely contain. There are whispers that a Seer or a witch intervened, taking her powers and sealing them within the Moon Gem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Selene nodded thoughtfully, her expression shifting as she moved toward the couch, sinking into its cushions as if the weight of the world had settled on her shoulders.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve often blamed myself for her heart condition,\u201d she confessed, her voice low and heavy with regret. \u201cI used to think it was a direct consequence of us taking her powers away. What if we had allowed her to keep them? Would she have thrived? Or would those powers have consumed her, leaving nothing but ashes in their wake? The witch warned us that it was crucial to remove her powers, yet we were never entirely certain of the reasons behind her urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho was this witch?\u201d I found myself asking, the curiosity bubbling up within me.<\/p>\n
Selene\u2019s gaze turned distant as she recalled the memories. \u201cZachary\u2019s sister, Cora,\u201d she replied, a hint of sadness creeping into her voice.<\/p>\n
I blinked in surprise. \u201cZachary has a sister?\u201d<\/p>\n
She nodded, her expression serious. \u201cYes, she resides among the humans in a neutral territory,\u201d she explained. \u201cThough she was born without a wolf, she carries some wolf blood in her veins. More than anything, she embodies the essence of a witch, much like her mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it was she who took Lila\u2019s power and placed it in the Moon Gem?\u201d I probed, needing to understand the depth of this revelation.<\/p>\n
Selene affirmed my question with a nod. \u201cIndeed,\u201d she confirmed. \u201cShe lives a couple of hours away from here, and we don\u2019t see her often. In fact, she prefers to keep her distance from us, and I\u2019m not entirely sure why. I do know that Zachary misses her terribly. They shared a close bond growing up, and then one day, she simply chose to sever all ties with him. It left him heartbroken.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sorrow etched on Selene\u2019s face tugged at my heartstrings, evoking a deep sense of empathy within me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so sorry,\u201d I murmured, feeling the weight of her pain.<\/p>\n
She shrugged, lifting one shoulder in a gesture that spoke volumes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s her choice; there\u2019s not much we can do about it,\u201d she said, a soft sigh escaping her lips. Her expression turned serious as she locked eyes with me. \u201cListen, Judy. We covered a lot of etiquette and posture control during your lessons, but being a Luna encompasses so much more than that. You possess a heart brimming with love and life. You genuinely care for those around you, and the trials you\u2019ve faced have only amplified that. You clearly have a deep affection for your pack. And let\u2019s not overlook your sharp wit. As long as you have your mate, family, and friends by your side, you will be just fine, Judy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her hand rested on my shoulder, and I felt a wave of comfort wash over me. It warmed my heart, and a smile began to tug at the corners of my lips. I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could utter a word, my wolf\u2019s instincts suddenly shifted, drawing my attention elsewhere. I sensed him behind me, standing in the entryway, a formidable presence.<\/p>\n
\u201cJudy,\u201d Gavin\u2019s voice rumbled, low and deep. \u201cI think it\u2019s time for us to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned to face him, noting the darkness in his eyes, the intensity of his gaze aimed directly at me. Instinctively, I sensed that something was amiss. The worry lines etched between his brows told me that he was holding back a storm of emotions.<\/p>\n
I glanced at Selene, who stood up, her expression morphing into one of concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs everything okay?\u201d she asked, her voice laced with worry.<\/p>\n
Gavin\u2019s focus shifted to her, his expression unwavering.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you should have a talk with your daughter. She\u2019s up to something, and it would be wise for you to uncover what it is,\u201d he advised, his tone serious.<\/p>\n
Selene\u2019s brows furrowed in confusion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand\u2026\u201d she began, her voice trailing off.<\/p>\n
I rose to my feet as well, a knot tightening in my stomach.<\/p>\n
\u201cGavin, what\u2019s going on?\u201d I pressed, urgency creeping into my voice.<\/p>\n
His eyes flickered to mine, and he extended his hand toward me.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on,\u201d he urged, his tone calm yet underscored with an unmistakable urgency. \u201cWe need to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment, reluctant to depart. I had finally begun to piece together some answers and engage in a meaningful conversation with Selene. Leaving now felt premature, especially under these circumstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about my daughter?\u201d Selene demanded, her voice rising with concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Selene. Just speak with her, and perhaps keep an eye on who she associates with,\u201d Gavin replied, his words leaving me bewildered.<\/p>\n
I blinked, confusion swirling in my mind as he pulled me away from the parlor, guiding me swiftly toward the front door.<\/p>\n
\u201cGavin, what is happening?\u201d I asked, panic rising in my voice.<\/p>\n
As we stepped outside and neared the car, he uttered words that sent a chill down my spine, shaking the very foundations of my understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they are lying to us. The Moon Gem doesn\u2019t belong to Lila Blackwell.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of our conversation, an unsettling realization loomed over me like a storm cloud, heavy and foreboding. The truths we had unearthed about Lila\u2019s powers and the enigmatic witch, Cora, intertwined with the fabric of our lives, leaving an indelible mark on my heart. Selene\u2019s vulnerability and the weight of her regrets echoed in my mind, a stark reminder of the burdens we all carried. As Gavin\u2019s urgent presence pulled me away from the warmth of our exchange, I felt a bittersweet pang of loss for the connection I had begun to forge with Selene. The looming threat of secrets and the unknown cast a shadow over our small victories, reminding me that even in moments of clarity, darkness could still encroach upon our lives.<\/p>\n
Yet, amidst the turmoil and uncertainty, I found a flicker of hope igniting within me. Selene\u2019s words resonated deeply, affirming my strength and the love that bound my pack together. The urgency in Gavin\u2019s voice signaled a call to action, a reminder that we were not merely passive observers in our story but active participants in a battle for our future. As we stepped into the unknown, I clung to the belief that love\u2014our most potent weapon\u2014would guide us through the ashes of our past and into the light of a new beginning. With every heartbeat, I vowed to protect my family, unravel the tangled web of secrets, and reclaim the kingdom we had built, one forged in love and resilience, ready to confront whatever lay ahead.<\/p>\n
