Selene's knees buckled first.
Her body collapsed, boneless, crashing to the cold stone floor. Her palms slapped uselessly against it, scraping her skin raw.
Her eyes stayed locked upward…on the woman… bathed in this new light… . In this impossible reality.
Her lips trembled. Her throat burned as the words clawed their way out.
"You…" her finger shook, stabbing the air as if it might cut reality into something that made sense. "…you are… Kieran's mother?!"
Her voice cracked. A laugh tried to burst out, but it was broken, hysterical, strangled with disbelief.
Selene's head whipped side to side, her hair lashing against her sweaty cheeks. "No… fuck, no… how… how is that even possible?" She choked on the next words, coughing, swallowing like the truth itself was poisoning her throat. "Why would you want to harm your own fucking son?!"
The Most High only stood there smirking.
Her silence pressed heavier than a scream.
