"Do you, Sarah Bernard of the Crystal-Cloud pack accept Philip Jaxon of the Blood-Slashing pack, to be your husband?"
'Am I doing the right thing? Will Sarah detest me for the rest of her life? Maybe I should confess now. My heartbeat increased and my head spun.'
"Sarah?"
I looked up and saw Philip watching me with hope in his eyes... How can I tell him that I am a liar? No... it is too late to turn back now. "I do"

As soon as I walked in, whispers and whispered talks stopped, and interested eyes looked at me. Skepticism and uncertainty weighed heavily on the air, like an unsaid query demanding a response.I felt the wave of unease that went through the group, a sign of their misgivings about my abrupt promotion to a leadership role. Many were confused by the swift change from a Luna behind confinement to a leader guiding the pack's future, and the doubt that pervaded the atmosphere was reflected in their gazes.The scrutiny became more intense as I got closer to the temporary platform where pack leaders normally addressed the members. The looks on the sea on faces ranged from mistrust to flat-out incredulity.

As two women propelled into roles of authority, Lizzie and I took the lead in this initiative, trying to mend the broken strands of trust and create a unity of sorts.Lizzie and I met in the large study, which was filled with expensive cherry furnishings and bookcases that held innumerable books. As we sat opposite from one another, the weight of duty falling on our heads like a thick blanket, the environment crackled with a feeling of purpose."I had not signed in for this one," Lizzie said, her resolve and doubt visible in her eyes. I sympathized with her; the unanticipated course of events had thrown us into unanticipated roles."Not a single of us did," I said, looking her in the eye. However, we have been given the responsibility of keeping this pack together. We must figure out how to make it function."The stone walls of the study, covered in the understand

Seeking a ray of light amid the ocean of sorrow, the weeping werewolves shifted their focus to me. I realized then and there that true leadership is a careful balance between sensitivity and power.I inhaled deeply, calling up the inner power, and entered the hallway prepared to face the obstacles that lay ahead.

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and thirtyCATHERINE'S POV Every day that passed seemed like a lifetime spent inside the confines of my room. What had previously felt like a golden prison had become a painful expanse of loneliness over two weeks. Furnished with opulent furniture, the room had turned into a haven and a jail.With Ana, my darling little daughter curled up in my arms, there was only one thing to feel better in this stuffy environment. Her innocent look was blind to the struggle swirling inside of me as I attended to her needs, the burden of duty pressing down on me. Even with the room bathed in a subdued brightness from the glowing sunlight filtering through the drapes, the cold that persisted in my heart persisted.The loud ticking of the elaborate wall clock reverberated throughout the room, serving as a constant reminder that time was passing at an excruciatingly slow pace. Two weeks had passed between my fingers like sand grains, and I was left entangled in the opulent maze of affluence that had become a res

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and twenty-nineLIZZIE'S POVI jumped through the table, my chest still thumping from the rage, and the opulence of the mansion's dining room vanished behind me. I was drawn outside by the scent of the neighboring garden in the evening air. To process the storm of feelings Philip's plea had unleashed inside of me, I wanted the comfort of wide-open spaces.Stepping out of the warm shelter of the evening, I was met by the expansive estate stretching before me. The sky was tinted pink as well as orangeas the sun sank low in the horizon, creating a pleasant glow.

Just one more day and let's forget everything that's happening. Let me do all the things I wished to do with you." He said and I nodded because all I wanted to do was leave him smiling."Tell me all you want to do with me," I said and he led me to the Kitchen, took a note, and started to write.He wished to cook with me, braid my hair, he wished for us to tell stories late in the night, he wished for us to fly high in the sky together, he wished for us to sail on a boat, just the both of us, he wished to kiss me one more time, he wished to fall asleep in my arms.He continued to write but realized all those things would be hard to complete in one night then he stopped and looked at me."This would do."

Chapter: Chapter 212DANIEL'S POVMy heart broke all over in a thousand pieces and I couldn't say a word. I knew it. I saw it coming. I already expected it but once more I was the one standing in the rain with no one to shield me from it. I knew Andre wouldn't let her go just like that, he would have let her know she was his Luna and that she had to stay.When she saw I couldn't form words, she spoke."I got back my memories. A friend helped me with it. I remember everything. I don't want you to be sad Daniel, I don't want it. I'm grateful for everything you've done for me and I wish I could repay you but nothing I do would ever be enough." She said and I nodded."You recall everything?" I asked and reasoned that could be the only explanation. She just would never stop loving Andre, there was no space for me in her heart.~I couldn't speak as memories of I and Kimberly flooded my mind. How had I come so far, how had I fallen in love with her to the point of no return? She was someone else's. How had I

Did he forgive me for leaving when he had told me not to? I couldn't believe I was back where I had always longed to be.He was the one I loved, Daniel was my friend. A friend I held dear to my heart. That was why I had been so confused without my memories. I and Daniel were thriving on friendly love. He knew I wouldn't return, and he had told me."Kimberly. Talk to me please." Andre said and I pulled him to me and hugged him tight."I loved you. All I wanted was for you to love me, I remember everything now, the ink from Bloom, it was so I could remember.

Chapter: Chapter 210KIMBERLY'S POV"What's the matter?" I heard Andre say and shook because I didn't even hear the door open nor did I expect him to walk in. "Um .. it's just ..." I said but didn't know how to explain it. He walked to me and took the bottle."This is no ordinary liquid." He said and looked at me."Bloom gave it to me, um, you might not know her.." I said but he raised his eyebrows."Bloom? Do not go near her. That witch's evil, she might be trying to get back at me with you because you might not know but I destroyed her Kingdom. So this is the danger she said you were bringing.""Who?" I asked and he smirked."Just an old lady." He replied and I stood up."She forgave you because I helped her get her necklace," I said and my eyes widened as he looked shocked."You helped her what??"

Chapter: Chapter 209ANDRE'S POVI smiled as I realized Kimberly wasn't going to leave the toilet till I left. It was amusing. I went to her mirror and looked in it, it was then I realized I hadn't been that happy in a long time when she left, there were so many horrible things I did to try to fill the hole that she had left in my heart and now that I looked back, those people didn't have to suffer. I left the room thinking of the previous night, it had been something I hadn't experienced in a long time. This put the smile back on my lips, she had become shier than before.As I walked to my quarters, I saw Maya hitting her head on my door, I raised a brow, she seemed to be drunk.I walked to her and stood behind her and it took a minute before she noticed me."Oh, it's Andre! My love!! The guy who broke my heart mercilessly and was able to wander around having a romance with another lady.

Chapter: Chapter 208KIMBERLY'S POV"What's that?" Andre asked and I looked back at him and shook my head but the moment I looked back, there was just an old dark tree with bent branches.I sighed. There was nothing. It was just my mind playing pranks on me. Then I saw the flowers, those pretty flowers that I had seen Andre give me in my memory. Then I looked beside me and my mind made it so vivid it was as though me of that day was staring at those flowers with me and Andre came to my side."The flowers you loved." He said and went deeper into the garden and plucked them for me.Then I remembered everything about that day, I had been feeling sad but happened to chance on the flowers and Andre happened to give it to me."Here." He said putting some in my hair and I looked at him. He made everything feel so real like I was really in love with him."Why are you staring at me?"
