Selene's POV~
The hall was buzzing like a broken hive. Everyone's whispers turned sharp the moment they realized Alpha Navien was nowhere to be found. I stood quietly, watching the panic spread like fire, and a smile curled on my lips.
So the drama was finally going to unfold.
I wondered, just for a moment, how colorful their faces would look when they saw his broken body. Would they turn pale? Would they rage? Would they tremble? The thought almost made me laugh.
My gaze drifted and landed on Meriya.
There she was—screeching, crying, waving her hands like the whole world should revolve around her misery. Disgust burned in me. If I could, I would close my eyes just to avoid the sight of her face. But she kept coming in front of me, like a fly that refused to die.
I clenched my jaw and looked away.
Not much time passed before Alpha Aeron stood and his voice cut through the chaos. "We have found Alpha Navien."
The hall fell silent.
