Chapter 167

Selene

Flashback

“Child, are you the one going after Alpha Damien?”

The voice had been soft, aged, yet steady, carrying the weight of someone who had seen far too much of the world. One of my warriors immediately frowned and stepped forward, placing himself slightly in front of me as if to shield me.

“Show your respect, Elder,” he snapped. “This is our Luna and our General. Do not be rude.”

The elderly woman instinctively took a small step back at his tore, her wrinkled hands tightening around the wooden staff she carried. I sighed at the unnecessary hostility and pushed my warrior aside.

“Do not be disrespectful,” I told him calmly. “She is an elder.”

He stiffened at my words and bowed his head before retreating this place.

I turned back to the elderly woman and inclined my head politely. “Yes, Elder, I am the one going after the Demon of the West.”

The woman studied my face for a long moment before slowly shaking her head. “Do not go,” she said quietly. “You will die.”

At her words, my warriors immediately went on alert, their hands drifting toward their weapons as suspicion filled their eyes. They did not like prophecies of death directed at me.

“At ease,” I ordered.

Reluctantly, they obeyed, though none of them fully relaxed. I looked back at the woman, curiosity flickering in my gaze. “What do you mean I will die?”

“The Demon of the West is more dangerous than the rumors say she replied, her voice unwavering. “Do not underestimate him. You will surely die if you do.”

Ares, my right-hand man, stepped forward then, confidence written all over his face. “Our General is very strong,” he said proudly. “There is no one stronger than her in our pack or the neighboring packs.”

The woman glanced at him, then back at me. “Strength does not mean you are stronger than him. He is a man who does not hesitate. He does not bend to anyone. He does not obey anyone, not even the Moon Goddess herself. He kneels for no one.”

I listened to every word carefully. Instead of fear, however, I felt something else entirely.

A slow, cunning smile had spread across my lips.

My warriors noticed immediately.

“Oh, you have got to be kidding me,” someone muttered under their breath.

The elderly woman raised an eyebrow. “What is wrong?”

Ares let out a helpless chuckle, “You just gave our General an ide..”

“What idea?” the woman asked, clearly confused.
