Solana let her go and turned back to Selene.
“Our introduction is done,” Solana said. “But you have not proven yourself today. Come back when you can do it on your own.”
“But–!” Selene called out, reaching for Solana, but she and Lily both faded away.
“Selene!” Corrine cried out and rushed to her side.
“Damn…” Fiona whispered. “Looks like she did not hold back with you.”
They both helped Selene to her feet.
“I failed…” Selene whispered.
Corrine and Fiona both looked at each other with concern.
“Come, let’s get you cleaned up,” Fiona suggested.
Together they helped Selene back to the compound, avoiding any prying eyes that might ask about what had happened.

“You didn’t fail, darling,” Corrine smiled as she dabbed a wet washcloth at Selene’s lip, wiping away the blood.
“No, you didn’t,” Fiona said. “She will accept you next time. But, for now, we just need to work on getting you ready.”
“But how do I do that?” Selene asked. “I feel like I just witnessed some kind of ancestral grudge match. I mean, seriously, how is it that the original Lunas of Summer and Winter also had a problem with each other?”
Corrine chuckled.
“I think the more important question is, how do you have the original Luna of Winter hanging out inside your mind?” Fiona asked.
“Well, that’s because of the berserker power,” Selene said as though it were obvious.
Fiona gave her a questioning glance.
“You know… how it comes from the light of the ancestors….” Selene added.
Fiona raised her eyebrow.
“Sorry, I assumed your father would have told you that after he figured it out,” Selene said awkwardly.
“As far as I know, my father never met her,” Fiona replied.
Selene furrowed her brows.
“You said he found a balance with his power and could control it after he faced it head on.”
“Yes, he did. But he never said anything about the power having a presence or a life of any kind,” Fiona said. “He told me it was like facing his greatest fear, finding the strength to push through it and then take control of the power he wielded.”
“That is how I have also heard the power of the berserker described,” Corrine said.
Selene looked between them.
“I don’t understand,” she sighed. “When I was held captive… I met the Valkyrie… Luna Lily, though I didn’t realize that’s who she was at the time… but it was when Jackson tried forcing me to use my rage to kill the children.”
She breathed, trying not to think too hard about those days trapped in that room. Knowing that she could lose control and do something horrible at any moment.
“She came to me. She told me that she was the power inside of me, that it wasn’t rage but the light of my ancestors,” Selene said. “It made sense; what else would explain why only wolves of Winter have been able to become berserkers?”
“Well, you guys aren’t great about sharing your toys,” Fiona chuckled.
Corrine chuckled softly and then turned to Selene.
“I don’t know what to tell you about your time being held captive,” Corrine said. “But I can tell you, I have met Luna Lily, and the person you described is her. It’s why we have the Valkyrie unit, to honor her.”
“From the description,” Fiona said, “it also sounds like she may have been the one that attacked me as well….”
Selene sighed.
“So… now I have an ancient Luna in my head that can apparently just hijack my body from time to time, great.”
“Well, you said she told Solana that her power was yours to call, right?” Fiona asked.
Selene nodded.
“Then, to some degree at least, you have control, or at least you could have control.”
“I agree,” Corrine nodded. “I think the best start would be establishing your control over her power.”
“You want me to overpower the original Luna of Winter?” Selene asked.
Corrine nodded.
“And then the original Luna of Summer,” Fiona added.
“Right… how could I forget that,” Selene sighed.
Corrine and Fiona smiled at each other. Selene looked at them with confusion and a hint of irritation.
“How are you guys so calm about this?” she asked.
“We’ve been Lunas a long time… weird shit happens,” Fiona shrugged.
“Besides, we believe in you, Selene,” Corrine smiled warmly.
“Alexander isn’t going to like any of this,” Selene sighed.
“Yea…” Fiona said. “About that… I think it would be best for everyone if Alexander left for a few days. He keeps putting off the meeting with Burning Ember, and honestly, he will just be in the way here.”
Corrine and Selene both laughed.
“He means well,” Corrine smiled.
“Yes, they always do,” Fiona sighed. “His father was the same way.”
“As is Wyatt,” Corrine said.
“It’s not bad to be so loved,” Selene smiled.
“No,” Fiona smiled, “it isn’t.”
The women all took a moment to think of their respective mates, to miss them, appreciate them, and cherish them.
“I will tell him to go to Burning Ember,” Selene said.
“Good,” Fiona said.
“We can start working on your control in the morning. But, for tonight, let’s all get some rest.”
***
By the time Selene returned to their room, Alexander was already asleep. She took a quick shower, packed his bag for him, and then crawled into bed.
“Hey…” he whispered sleepily as she curled into the curve of his body.
“Hey…” she whispered back.
Alexander turned and wrapped his arms around her. She closed her eyes and inhaled his scent.
“Are you alright?” he asked.
“I’m in your arms,” she said. “How could I not be?”
Alexander smiled and pulled her closer.
He bent his head and kissed her shoulder, his lips gently grazing the mark he had given her.
Selene shuddered and leaned her head back against his shoulder.
Alexander’s kisses continued along her shoulder to her throat.
Selene let out a soft moan and then a gentle chuckle.
“Aren’t you tired?” she asked. “You were already asleep when I got into bed.”
“You tell me….” Alexander whispered against her ear as he moved his hand to her hip. He pulled her gently, so she felt his enthusiasm pressing against her backside.
Selene bit her lower lip and let out a soft whimper as she felt her need for him stirring.
“It is the full moon,” she whispered with a smile. “We should celebrate it.”
