    "But Dad, he told me he was heading to hispany..." She trailed off as her brother''s words echoed


    in her mind.


    Why would Kane bring all his officials just to visit hispany?


    The room fell silent as her family and the guests watched her and Garrett, trying to grasp what had just transpired.


    Axel had just entered the hall. Sensing the tension in the air, he quickly


    approached Selene and asked, "What''s going on?"


    Magnus joined him, repeating the same question.


    Selene''s gaze remained locked on Garrett, waiting for an exnation.


    Alpha Garrett looked at Axel, then at Magnus, before finally speaking. "It was a call from Gamma Storm. They didn''t go to thepany. They went to that vige- to protect the people."


    "But why, Dad? Why didn''t they tell me? I should have been there with them!" Selene''s voice carried both frustration and urgency.


    Garrett sighed. "I don''t know, sweetheart. Maybe Kane wanted to keep you out of danger. He didn''t want you to worry."


    Selene pressed a hand to her forehead, torn between staying for the ceremony or rushing to join Kane


    and his officials.


    "Is my son safe?" Diana Thorne asked, her voice filled with motherly concern.


    Garrett ced a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Don''t worry. Storm said Kane is fine, but..."


    He hesitated before continuing, "He warned that rogues might attack our packs. He called to let us know they won''t be returning tonight."


    Magnus exchanged a look with Axel, and without a word, Axel gave a firm nod. It was clear the Alpha and Beta were alreadymunicating through their mindlink.


    Axel turned to face the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?"


    Selene watched as Axel addressed the guests, instructing them to leave for the night.


    "What are you doing?" Evelyn Hawthorne questioned him.


    "Mom, let him handle this," Magnus interjected.


    Alpha Malcolm then spoke up. "Magnus, shouldn''t we offer our help to Kane and Selene in this situation?"


    Magnus nodded. "Of course, Dad. I''ve already instructed my officials to apany me to the vige. We''ll stand with Kane."
