Chapter 565 - End Of Second Great War (Part III)

Melody did not expect to find her birth mother in such an unusual circumstance.

Most especially, the queen of sirens and the seven seas had no plans of being reunited with her long lost child since her priority initially was claiming the supreme throne.

A lot of things changed drastically when the mother and daughter found each other.

Yet, they still face a great hurdle in their reunion because Selene had decided to take away Queen Mira's powers for her own gain.

Regardless of her connection with Melody. The one whom she has treated like her own sister.

"What differentiates you from my monstrous plans if you are planning to take away my powers by force?" Queen Mira criticized Selene's inconsistencies.

At the same time, Melody begged for her birth mother's life.

"PLEASE! Selene, I beg you… Even just for me… just this once…" Melody cried her heart out for mercy.

Unfortunately, the silver platinum-haired tribrid seemed to be unbothered and unfazed.

There was a circle of seal beneath Queen Mira and golden chains wrapped around her body and limbs. An energy blade made of three elements; wind, fire and lightning elements, floating around Selene.

"I am sorry, Melody. But I have to make Queen Mira accountable for her crimes," Selene gave out a valid reason to justify her true scheme.

In her desperation to spare her birth mother from Selene's unstoppable wrath, Melody reminded the silver platinum-haired tribrid and former huntress regarding her previous crime as well when she was in her previous darkening phase.

"You weren't punished for your crimes before, remember? Why would you punish my mother if you weren't punished from the killings you did before? How does that became right?" Melody had no choice but to remind Selene of her previous mistakes during her fourth darkening.

It agitated Selene that Melody had the courage to remind her and argue with her reasoning.

Selene could not respond immediately because Melody mentioned something that was also valid.

"We have different circumstance and situation. Compared to your mother, I was not in my right state of mind. With her, she chose to take away those lives in her normal state of mind and there was no intervening forces that made her act upon those crimes," Selene explained thoroughly.

She added, "That's our difference! And I will punish her whether you like it or not!"

The grip of the vines around Melody tightened and a huge leaf covered her mouth to prevent her from interfering in Selene's plans.

'Tsk! Such an annoying one…' Selene thought to herself.

She began to initiate the process of taking away Queen Mira's powers and make it her own.

…

However, another presence interfered with her plans through lunging towards her and pinning her down to the ground.

-THUD!-

"Ugh!" Selene winced in pain as she received a powerful force that took her down. 

It was a surprise attack that Selene did not sense at all.

"Selene, you must stop this nonsense! Please return to us, fight the darkness in you!" King Alcyd was in his huge wolf form.

The Alpha King of the Werewolf Kingdom utilized his wind walk.

Imploring the effective silent movements of the ability wind walk, it was something taught to him by Selene during their past training sessions.

Instead of listening to her mate, Selene was agitated and angered by the interference of King Alcyd.

"You are mistaken! This is me now. And you better accept it if you want to be with me," Selene clarified to the Alpha King.

A shocking discovery that Selene has chosen to become one with the darkness.

"No… it can't be! The Selene I know would never choose to be evil and dark… she will always choose to be good and kind!" King Alcyd was in disbelief of the changes of Selene.

Astonished as he was, Selene was not having any nuisance stand in her way.

"News flash, I chose to be strong and powerful! I refuse to be weak!" Selene used her incredible strength and overwhelming powers to push away her mate.

King Alcyd was thrown few meters away from Selene, hard enough to crack the ground.

She continued to utter, "I would no longer settle for the weaker side of me. With more power and strength, I will be able to attain things that I want for myself. I will be able to protect those I care for. And I will no longer lose people that I truly care for! Being the strongest and most powerful will secure me the future that I want."

Suddenly, blades were aimed towards Selene and a double edged anti-magic weapon were heading towards Selene's direction.

All of it were easily deflected by the silver platinum-haired tribrid.

When Selene turned around, she easily caught Booth's hand in his attempt to stab her.

For a moment, deep inside, Selene was surprised to find out that Booth wanted to kill her with all his strength.

Though, it was unfortunate for Booth that Selene was too strong and powerful for him to defeat.

"So, you really have decided to kill me?" Selene reiterated the decision of Booth.

And she reminded him of his confession of love, "If I still remember it correctly, you told me that you love me with all your heart. Is this how you profess and express your love?"

Booth immediately looked away from Selene's piercing stares.

"You made me promise before that I will be the one to stop you from your darkest version. To prevent other lives from getting hurt," Booth emphasized his promise to Selene before.

Selene tightened her grip on Booth's hand, crushing it further. In her attempt to hurt him the way she was feeling the sting of betrayal from a friend.

"This is different! I am still myself. When I made you promise, I was referring of being someone without any control over my consciousness and rationalization. This is not the darkest version of myself," Selene elaborated the difference.

She furthered, "This is me being free and true to my nature!"

Selene put Booth down to his knees. 

Hurting him further.

"Ahhh!!" Booth winced in pain despite persevering Selene's wrath.

…

However, King Alcyd stopped Selene.

"I thought you want to protect those whom you care? Can't you see, you are already hurting them… with your own hands," King Alcyd's words struck Selene like no other.

Such words penetrated her soul making her realize how much she has changed in just short amount of time.

"If you want to protect them and secure a better future for them, where is your spirit wolf? What happened to Sylvia?" the Alpha King stepped closer to Selene.

No attacks nor weapons needed to make her stop.

All it needed was those words of truth.

Making Selene realize, she has completely done the opposite.

'What have I done?' a silver lining from her fifth darkening.

Instead of crashing down again in guilt, King Alcyd's hand reassured her with everything would be okay.

"It is not yet too late! We can still move forward without your dark magic," King Alcyd's reassurance to Selene.
