I was going to forgive him...

Selene POV

My heart broke as I dressed the girls, trying my best to keep them as warm as possible and not to break down in front of them. I had barely thirty minutes before my hearing and I needed to ensure their safety more than anything.

Faustina and Brenna were my only options.

"Please…" I said in a strangled voice "Take care of my girls for me. They're all I have… please,".

"Don't worry, your majesty," They smiled assuring "We will protect them with our lives. We would also be on the lookout for their father. You could also come with us…" they said quietly "There's a path that leads outside of the pack house at the lower villages. No one knows about the path and we could slip you through it… towards the Northern borders. We have some savings and the women too have pitched in what they have…it'll be enough to get you out of Moon Whisper and settle you for a few weeks before we can send more,".
