Chapter 439 Get 5 = Menu Selene stepped into the hallway, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her path toward the meeting hall was suddenly interrupted when she nearly collided with Alpha Malcolm. She stopped abruptly, her expression hardening as she averted her gaze from him.
Alpha Malcolm studied her for a moment before clearing his throat. âSelene, I hear youâve decided to take over the pack company,â he said, his voice calm but probing.
Without sparing him a glance, she replied curtly, âYes, Dad.â
âAre you angry with Kane?â he asked, his tone cautious, as though testing the waters.
Seleneâs lips curled into a bitter smile as she slowly lifted her gaze to meet his. The question, to her, felt almost laughable. âWhat if I were the one who ended up pregnant by another man? Tell me, how do you think your son would react?â
Malcolmâs eyes widened in disbelief, clearly taken aback by her bluntness. The Selene he knew had always been composed, polite, and careful with her words. But that version of her was gone now, replaced by a woman who had nothing left to lose.
Selene didnât care about his reaction. Though none of this was directly Malcolmâs or Dianaâs fault, her pain was too raw to hold back anymore. âWhy do people call your son âAlmightyâ? For killing Alphas in wars and stealing their packs? Thatâs nothing special. I could do that myself.â
Malcolm stared at her, his silence heavy. His daughterâinâlaw had always been a force, but now she was sharper, colder, and far more dangerous.
Through the nearest window, Seleneâs eyes caught sight of several cars pulling into the driveway outside the pack house. The other Alphas had arrived for the meeting. Without another word, she lowered her head and brushed past Malcolm, intending to leave him behind.
But his voice stopped her midâstep. âThereâs something Iâve been meaning to talk to you about. Something Iâve kept buried for years. But Iâm scared to bring it up again. The last time I did, I almost lost my son.â
Selene froze, her brow furrowing as she turned to face him. Her sharp gaze met his back. âWhat are you talking about? Does this have something to do with Nyxâs pack?â
Malcolm turned to face her again, his expression a mix of fear and hesitation. His concern was evident, and for the first time, Selene saw a flicker of vulnerability in the man who rarely showed it.
But she didnât care anymore. Whatever secrets he was guarding didnât matter to her now. âIt doesnât change anything, Dad,â she said flatly. âNothing can undo what your son has done. Iâll never forgive him. Iâm here to protect my place and my childrenâs place. Thereâs no way Iâll let another womanâs child inherit what rightfully belongs to mine.â
With that, Selene turned and resumed her walk toward the meeting hall, leaving Malcolm rooted in place, watching her retreating figure.
As she approached the meeting hall, the hum of conversation spilled into the air. But the moment Selene entered, all voices ceased. The room fell into complete silence.
With her head held high and confidence radiating from her every step, Selene strode into the hall. Her 09.40 82.36%

Seleneâs piercing gaze swept over the room, flickering to each Alpha before she moved toward the head chairs. The Alphas watched her in stunned silence as she bypassed her designated seat and, instead, lowered herself gracefully into Kaneâs chair.
Her actions sent a clear message, she had no intention of staying in the background.
She sat with poise, her eyes sharp as she addressed the room. âSit.â
Her voice was icy, and the Alphas obeyed without hesitation, as though her authority struck something primal within them. They might have forgotten for a moment, but now they were reminded. Selene was no ordinary Luna; she was a powerful Alpha sheâ
wolf who had once saved their Alpha in battle. Storm, Derek, and Gideonâher Gamma, Delta, and Thetaâwere seated nearby, their presence lending weight to the meeting. Selene caught Stormâs eye, and he gave her a subtle nod of acknowledgment.
Turning her focus back to the room, Selene addressed the gathered Alphas.
âEffective immediately, I am taking full control of the pack company,â she announced, her voice steady and unyielding. âNo funds will be transferred to another pack without my direct approval. Furthermore, inform every allied pack company that any association with the Shadowveil Pack will result in the immediate termination of our alliance.â
Her words sent ripples of unease through the room. Though none of the Alphas present knew the truth about Nyx or her child, they assumed that the Shadowveil Pack had somehow deeply offended their Luna.
One Alpha raised his hand cautiously. Selene gave him a short nod, granting him permission to speak. âLuna,â he began, his voice measured, âthe Shadowveil Packâs largest alliance is currently with the Iron Crown Pack...â
