Selene's POV~
The wolves left us in front of the Omega Quarters. Their paws struck the dirt one last time before they shifted back into their human forms. One of them looked at us only briefly before speaking to the head maid.
"These two will stay here. It's the Alpha's order."
That was all. No further questions, no room for protest. The words were final, like stones dropped into a river, sinking deep beyond reach.
The wolves walked away, their powerful steps fading into the night.
And just like that, I was standing again in the very place I once swore I would never return to.
The Omega Head Maid glanced at us, her expression unreadable. She was older, her hair streaked with gray, her posture still rigid with discipline. I remembered that look… how she measured everyone with her eyes, how nothing escaped her notice.
For a moment, I couldn't breathe. My chest tightened, and the air around me felt too heavy, pressing down.
