Selene POV
Kragen stiffened beside me, his hand that had held me protectively going limp on my body. I could see the defiance in his father's eyes as he gave his son a pointed stare. If this was true, if the Moon Goddess wasn't Kragen's mother, then who was?
And what will this mean? Won't it further complicate things?"
My mind shifted back to what Aunt Helena and Jared had told me. Who was I supposed to believe now?
"What... what do you mean she's not his mother?" I finally managed to ask, my voice barely more than a whisper.
Kragen's father, with his cold, hard gaze, stared at me for a long moment before looking away, his expression unreadable. He took a deep breath, his face shadowed by something between sorrow and regret.
"Kragen was born from a union far darker than what the Moon Goddess could ever provide," he said quietly. "A union that should never have been allowed."
