Chapter 377
Nina
As I stared down at my twin sister's sleeping body, I couldn't help but think that she looked oddly peaceful and innocent for the first time since I had met her. It almost made me wonder if there was a version of Selena in there somewhere that wasn't evil and full of schemes.
My friends and I sat in the infirmary for a while longer, talking about what happened in the werewolf realm. The Luna was still in control, and we had no way of knowing what she would do to us and the entire world. If she really was so hell-bent on cleansing all humans from the earth, then something made me think that she had a lot more allies than I realized.
When we fought Selena at first, I thought that she was working alone. I thought that she was just a bitter and scared child who was afraid that I would steal her mate, and nothing more. Even when I discovered that she was working with the witch, I thought that that was it; surely no one else was working alongside her.
But oh, how wrong I was.
Selena wasn't even the mastermind behind it all. The Luna was the true mastermind, controlling both Selena and the Alpha King like puppets. Was the Selena that I had come to know even the true Selena, or was she another victim of the Luna's? If we managed to fight the Luna and stop her, just as we had with Selena, would we discover that Selena had a spell on her? Would the spell break to reveal a normal girl who wasn't nearly as evil as we thought?
However, only time would tell. We needed to question Selena about several things, starting with whether or not the Luna was working with the Crescents; and we needed to figure it out as soon as possible, because if the Luna was going to show up at any moment and wreak havoc on our town, we needed to be prepared.
Eventually, Selena began to wake up as we all sat around.
"Ugh..." she groaned, reaching up to touch her temple again, only to find that it had been bandaged up while she slept. Her eyes cracked open, squinting even against the dim light of the infirmary, and she slowly swiveled her head to look at us.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
*Rise and shine, princess," Enzo said, sounding condescending. I nudged him with my elbow and shot him a dark look, shaking my head. Right now, we didn't need to be angering Selena; we needed her to be calm so that she would give us some information.
"Where am I?" Selena croaked, looking around confusedly. "Am I back home?"
I stood from my chair and walked over to the side of her bed. When I came into her field of vision, she groaned again and even attempted to spit on me. I jumped out of the way, grimacing as I saw the ball of spit land on the ground near my feet.
"You're in the campus infirmary," I said, trying my best to stay calm and not antagonize her. "I took care of the bruise on your head."
*Gee. Thanks." Selena frowned deeply and slowly sat up. I tried to help her, but she slapped my hands away and even growled a little. It seemed that, even without her wolf, she still had those same wolf mannerisms. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.
"We need to ask you some questions," Enzo said, walking up to her next with his hands in his pockets. "And we need you to answer them."
Selena looked around at all of us, then scoffed. "I'm not saying shit," she replied. "Fuck you guys."
"Hey!" Lori suddenly exclaimed, storming up to Selena and causing Selena's eyes to go wide when she saw the angry look on Lori's face. "Watch it. You're already on thin ice after all of the trouble you've caused. Despite everything, Nina saved you and even went so far as to patch up your stupid little head. You should be begging for forgiveness."
Selena just glared back at Lori for a long time. No one spoke during that time, and the air in the infirmary felt so

thick and heavy that I was certain I could cut it with a knife if I wanted to. But finally, Selena's icy blue eyes slid over to me and looked me up and down, and she folded her arms across her chest.
