Chapter 8 Kael flew into rage , kicking Sera's belly . " You worthless bitch ! If you hadn't seduced me during work every day , how would I be confused enough to abandon Selene for trash like you ?" Sera curled up in agony on the ground . Kael turned to me , eyes holding a last glimmer of hope : " Selene , it wasn't me . Look , she has no proof "] I sneered , pulling an elegant pen from my bag : " She doesn't , but I do . That day my research recorder was left in the room and happened to record your phone call with Sera's brother " I looked down at the writhing Sera ; " That recording is already with the police . " I walked to Sera , looking down at her : " As for you , the evidence of your deliberate hit and run is also submitted to police . " My voice was soft but each word sharp as a blade : " Scumbag and bitch couple should go down together , shouldn't they ? " Just then , shrill sirens sounded outside Moonhaven . Kael seemed to suddenly realize something . He stared wide - eyed , disbelieving " Selene , this shouldn't be my ending . My life should be healthy , wealthy , and happily mated . " I scoffed , voice light but devastating : " Originally you could have had that perfect life . But you forgot the Moon Goddess never the heartless and faithless . " Kael's eyes went hollow , like he'd lost his soul . Suddenly remembering something , he muttered : " No , my body is still healthy . meaning the moon stone wishes still work , still work … " He repeated this manically , eyes growing crazed . protects Before anyone could react , he suddenly pushed past security and ran frantically toward the exit .

Sunlight filtered through leaves , casting dappled shadows on the marker . The light was warm but not harsh , like memory of the pup's soft little hands touching my cheek . " Is that you , baby ?" I whispered , tears blurring my vision [ ] The wind passed again , this time cooler , carrying away the tears on my face , I seemed to see a tiny figure waving goodbye in the ligh so pure , so beautiful . [ ] " Mama got revenge for you " my fingertips trembled touching the cold stone . " Those who hurt you got what they deserved . " ] Standing .
