Go scot-free...

Selene POV

I stared at my phone long after the call with Xavier ended wondering if he understood that I was asking for help. He was the only one who had some power now to help me or maybe sway his mother.

Just like me, Xavier was an important part of Nora. I've seen her go berserk with him being ill for a few seconds. With him, she drops her ironclad heart, so maybe his presence at Moon Whisper could be a good thing for me. I have yet to hear from Reid no see him since last night after he came to our dungeon.

There was no news regarding Noah and Kragen was still quiet on me. For the first time, I felt truly alone with no one to run to. All I wanted to do at this point was cry my eyes out and lay sprawled on the ground until help came but I have to keep the girls alive… I have to stay alive. I couldn't afford to die now… if my children could go through so much with me alive, I shuddered to think what they might pass through if I am no more.
