Katherine was a Luna of the Red Moon Pack, ruling it with her beloved mate and husband, Sean. Everything was perfect until a traitor came between them, taking away all that was important to her. Family, pack, mate, and her life...
View MoreWater was slowly breaking into her lungs, making it impossible to breathe. She was fighting against the ones holding her under the water, but she had no hope of winning it. Rejection and striping of the title were too much to handle. Her wolf, Lucy, was long gone, broken after what her mate did to them. Maybe it was better like that. At least she was not feeling what was happening. The vision became a blur because of the lack of air. Yet, she was still able to see his face. The one which she loved, touched, and kissed for years. Right now, it was contorted in a grimace while he held her tight, not to comfort her, but to kill.
And the other one, but it doesn't matter anymore. She only wants to look at him. The one who betrayed her the most. Her mate. There is no more strength left. Her hands are slowly losing their grip and slipping down. The lungs are full of water. There is no air in them. When did her life fall apart? Why did she miss all those signals? They took everything, now taking the last part that belonged to her, her life. Just close your eyes and let it be. That is the price of failure. She was blind and lost her vigilance. And now there was a time to pay for it. The end of Luna Katherine. Katherine woke up, sitting straight on her bed, coughing like someone who had just been saved from drowning. Immediately, there were warm hands on her back, rubbing small circles. - Is everything OK, honey?- Her husband's voice still sounded sleepy. - Yeah, I am fine. There was just something in my throat irritating me.- She replied as soon as her breathing came back to normal. - I need a glass of wa... a glass of juice - Let me bring it for you. - Sean offered, and before Katherine had a chance to stop him, he left their bed, putting on a T-shirt and sweatpants on his perfect body. Her husband was a 23-year-old man with the body of a Greek god. Tall, muscular with honey blond hair and blue eyes, he was every woman's dream. She shot up straight out of bed as soon as he left the room. What was going on? There was still a burning sensation in her lungs, the ones which were filled with water just a few minutes ago. Was it just a bad dream? No, that was impossible. Is one dream enclosing the last eight months of her life? No way, there has to be a different explanation. ~ Lucy, are you there?~ Katherine tried to connect with her wolf. There was silence for a second, but then her wolf answered. ~ Yes, I am here. ~ She spoke softly, and the woman sighed with relief. ~ Do you know what is happening? Was I dreaming the most horrifying nightmare of my life? ~ If you were, it means we shared that same dream.~ Lucy replied, confirming her suspicions that something was not right there. Just what? ~ Did we die?~ Katherine wasn't ready to let this truth hit her. ~ I did, for sure. But somehow, we are back.~ Her wolf replied. Katherine stood up from the bed and started pacing around her bedroom, trying to process the latest events. Her sight stopped at her phone, lying on the bedside table. She quickly grabbed it, like there would be the answer to all her questions. And it was there. Katherine was looking at the date on the screen. It was the 14th of April, which meant it was the day before her whole life went downhill, leading to a painful death in the river's waters, the one she loved so much in her childhood. ~ We travelled in time?~ It sounded so stupid. She couldn't believe she was actually considering it. ~ I think we were reborn. The moon Goddess brought us back to life, offering us a second chance. ~ Lucy said quietly. ~ Why? ~ Katherine wondered. ~ I think many people's lives could be changed if we could sort out how to avoid this tragedy. ~ And what then? Do you want to pretend that all of that never happened? My mate drowned me without remorse, following his mistress's wish. There is no way I could forget about that. ~ The woman shivered at the memory of all the humiliation and pain accompanying her in the last month of her miserable life. ~ We can help ourselves and others. Maybe that is a reason for us coming back. To fix the mistakes. To save our home. Whatever will happen to our mate, well, we will find out. We got this time back and should use it the best we can. ~ Her wolf was always a voice of reason. Katherine decided to take her advice, as the last time, she ignored it, blinded by love, and it didn't end well. ~ You are right, as always. I should have seen it before. Maybe then all of that wouldn't have happened. ~ The woman shook her head. ~ We have our second chance, and this time, we are not going to waste it. We will get out of that as a winner. ~ Lucy bared her teeth, showing they were now handling the cards in this game. ~ They will pay for what they did. They will pay greatly. ~ Katherine smiled to herself. ~ But for now, we need to act like nothing has happened. For now.~ Her wolf grinned at her head. Katherine smiled to herself, quickly regaining her composure as she heard her husband's footsteps in the corridor. Soon, he entered the room, handing her a glass of orange juice, which she took after a bit of hesitation. - Are you sure everything is OK? You are shaking. Please rest for a bit.- He looked at her with concern, lifting a hand to touch her cheek. -Maybe you are right, honey. The last few weeks were stressful, and I feel drained of all my energy. - Katherine moved away before he could touch her, returning to bed. - Take a rest, my love. I will take care of everything. It would be best to regain your strength, as tomorrow is a big day. - Sean came closer to kiss her forehead, and there was no way she could avoid it. ~ You need to control yourself better, or he will get suspicious. He is our mate, after all. ~ Lucy warned her. ~ Yes, the one who betrayed us and the sacred mate bond. ~ The woman replied but looked at her husband like a lovesick puppy. - Thank you, baby, you are the best. - She forced herself to give him a peck on the cheek. - I will come to you as soon as possible, but for now, I need to get everything ready for our trip. Yes, the trip! That was the beginning of the end. A very tragic end. - I can't wait, honey!- Katherine tried her best to sound excited while her stomach turned into a tight knot. Sean looked at his wife with love before he left the room. There was a lot to plan. It was a visit to the neighbouring pack, the Full Moon Pack. He had hoped to create an alliance with them. It would improve safety on the land of both packs. That was something that couldn't be messed up. Katherine stood up from her bed when the sound of her husband's steps died down in the hall. She went to the window, looking at the river that was seen very well from where she stood. Her favourite place became her grave. What an irony. Katherine was a daughter of the Gamma of the Red Moon Pack, while her husband was the only heir of the Alpha. It was his future to rule this place one day. And that day came sooner than everyone expected, as his father died in the battle when Sean was only seventeen. His mother died shortly after. The loss of her mate was too much for her. Katherine had known her husband all her life. They grew up together. He was a sweet boy, loved by everyone, pure and innocent. On the other hand, growing up in Gamma's family, she spent a lot of time on the training grounds, always eager to fight with others, making her one of the best female warriors in the pack. She couldn't have been happier when she discovered he was her mate. It was like a dream. Gamma's daughter became the mate of a handsome Alpha- like in romances, she liked to read. They married three years later after Katherine decided she was ready to become a Luna. For the last two years, they were inseparable. The pack was growing nicely under their leadership, and Katherine was the best Luna, loved by all the members. Life couldn't be any better. Her husband had an excellent plan for creating the alliance with the other packs for safety reasons. More miniature packs were always more vulnerable when it came to attacks. Katherine was proud of him for thinking about others. She didn't expect this idea to turn her life into a nightmare. Soon, her husband would find someone who would tear them apart. Katherine believed nothing could come between true mates, yet it happened. On the 15th of April, they visited the Full Moon Pack, where the daughter of the Alpha was introduced to them. Charming Camille, the only child of her father. Katherine found her a lovely, independent, and strong woman, not knowing she would be a reason for her fall. ~ This time, we will be ready. She cannot do anything to trick us again. ~ Lucy reminded her. Luna was still looking through the window, planning her moves. This was a time to learn from her previous mistakes. - We will make it. - She spoke out loud.- That's a monster, and we need to eliminate it. - Patricia said, thinking about her son's daughter. - Nothing like this should ever be born.Solomon watched his sister walking around the room. Since she came back, the Queen was fuming. - What do you want to do about that? - He asked without an interest. This child meant nothing to him as the vampire lord had more significant concerns than some hybrid. Since he lost everything, his life has been like a never-ending nightmare. Solomon used to live in luxury without bothering about anything. Now, after King Marcus stripped him of his title, he lived like an animal hiding in caves and woods. His old lands now belonged to Xavier, who became the King. There was nothing left of Solomon's glory, and that was painful. That is why he stayed by his sister's side, counting for some unexpected turn of events. But to his disappointment, Patricia was now obsessed with some child. - This is an abomination. - The old Queen mumbled, making her broth
Katherine was looking at her newborn baby. She instantly fell in love with this tiny creature, who was now holding her finger tightly. - I am so proud of you. - Greg whispered, kissing her sweaty forehead. It was a long and painful delivery, but his Queen made it without complaint. Now, both of them were rewarded with a magnificent baby. Like her father, the girl had dark, fluffy hair and bright blue eyes. Her parents watched her, looking at her surroundings for the first time. - How will you name her?- Greg glanced at his bride. - I have not thought about this. Any ideas?- Katherine replied, not taking her eyes off the baby like it was her whole world. - You did the whole hard work; you should pick the name. I am sure it will be beautiful, just like our daughter. - The vampire King replied softly. Now, he had two women to love and protect with his life. Katherine remained silent for a while, thinking intensely. - What about Isabelle?- She finally spoke. - I love it. - Greg rep
Two years later. Katherine was exhausted. Since she became the Queen, a lot of things have become a blur. For the first few months, days were not long enough to deal with everything. Greg was supporting her as much as he could, to the point when she was worried about him. Her mate was a vampire, but sometimes it seemed like he was overworking himself. Neverending meetings with lords and Alphas were draining him from all his energy. King Marcus could not be more right. It was not a task for one person. Katherine, on the other hand, was meeting with Lunas and vampire royals who wished to meet their new Queen. Of course, not everything was perfect. From time to time, she crossed paths with women who found her not suitable for her role. Most of them belonged to the higher vampire class. But Katherine was not the one to be easily intimidated. She wastes no time to show them their place. After that, as the Queen and Alpha, she was generally loved and respected. The most surprising thing
Camille entered the place she used to call home. Ten vampire warriors accompanied her, even if she tried to avoid it. Unfortunately, Xavier was adamant about her safety. He could not go with her this time as some of the lords on their new lands were not thrilled about the new rules. Yet his main concern was his Queen's trip. Who knew what was waiting for her in the witch's coven? There was no way he was going to take this risk. That is why those vampires were here with her. Camille looked around in utter shock. Was it the same place she remembered from her childhood? It was never full of life or the most cheerful, but now it looked like a ghost town. A few witches were wondering here and there, and none of them cared about the new arrival. Camille looked at her companions, but most of them just shrugged their arms. The witch motioned to the warriors and headed to the place that most likely would be occupied. She was not mistaken. When her group came closer to the main hall, angry
Katherine felt strange amongst all those people. She was the Alpha, but that was the most significant gathering she ever joined. Alpha's gatherings were nothing compared to this one. The ballroom was filled to the brim. The Ball. And she was the center of attention, not that she wanted this. But that was her coronation day. Today, she will become the Queen of the vampires. One of the two. Her lips curled into a smile when she remembered the shock on everyone's faces after King Marcus' announcement. After he came back from his trip to Solomon's land, King Marcus disappeared for a few days, locking himself in his office. No one was allowed to disturb him except the servants who were bringing him food. His strange behavior took a toll on his sons, who were really concerned. After almost a week, Marcus summoned Greg and Xaviet together with their brides. ~ Apologies for my odd behavior, but I had a lot to think about. It was a serious problem, but I hope we all benefit from it. ~ He
Two days later. Katherine slowly opened her eyes just to shut them down immediately. She was surrounded by the bright light. ~ Are we dead? ~ She thought to herself. ~ I don't think so, but I wish we were. I am so weak. ~ Lucy replied quietly. ~ Did we die then? Were we reborn again? ~ Katherine was panicked. ~ Again, I don't think so.~ Her wolf said, a little annoyed.Alpha opened her eyes slightly, waiting for her sight to get used to the bright light. Slowly, some shapes became visible. The whole surrounding was white, making it painful to look around. - I thought you were dead.- Katherine nearly jumped at the sound of the voice next to her, but she only groaned when her whole body protested this sudden movement. Incredibly, slowly, Alpha turned her head to the side, looking at the person on the next bed.Camille was grinning at her while eating her pudding.Katherine would never expect herself to be so happy about seeing the witch. - You are alive. - She whispered since h
- No!!!- Xavier was screaming, running to his bride. He grabbed Camille's hand as his life depended on it. Hot tears were rolling down his cheeks. Katherine shifted to her human form, falling to her knees. - Greg!!- She shouted. Her mate was the one she needed now. Gently, she lifted Camille off the ground. - Why did you do it? How could you be so stupid? Camille mustered a little smile. - I was stupid before, but now I finally understand. - The witch whispered. - What do you understand? - Katherine asked gently. - What is important...- Camille replied, and her eyes started to close. - Do not close your eyes. Stay with us. Greg!!- Katherine shouted again. Xavier was kneeling next to his bride, unable to move. Greg ran to Katherine together with the King. - Can you help her? She saved my life. Promise me you will save her. - Alpha looked at her mate and his father. Greg's eyes were full of sadness. He said nothing. Katherine raised her eyes, looking for the person responsi
King, who was slowly coming closer.- Michael.- Marcus spoke, glaring at the group of vampires. - Your Highness. - The leader of the warriors bowed lightly. - You are far from the place I would expect to find you. - Vampire King pointed out. - What brings you and your men here? - My Lord's orders. - Michael replied shortly. Mother almost smirked, hearing his words. This man was incredible. Now, he stood tall and proud, watching King. King Marcus nodded his head, curling his lips in a smile. - And what those orders are? - Forgive me, Your Highness, but that is between me and my lord. - The vampire warrior replied calmly, but that was his mistake. King's expression changed immediately, and his eyes shone brighter. - Do not forget who you are talking to. I do not recall the moment when your Lord gained a position higher than mine. As long as I am aware, no one stands above me, or am I wrong? - Apologies, my King. - Michael reflected on himself. His previous confidence was gone.
- I could live here. - Mother said to the witches who stood nearby. She looked around, admiring the surroundings. That was a perfect place for her new kingdom. She deserved it after so many years of humiliation. Being banished was still a painful wound that could not heal. But soon, this will change. When all the werewolves are lost in sight, she will get back what is supposed to be hers in the first place. - We are waiting for orders. The leader of the vampire's warriors came closer. This man was still holding her in the distance, no matter how much she tried to impress him. After this battle, he will be on his knees, admiring her full glory. He will belong to her, just like everything else. - We will aim straight for this pathetic pack. There is no need for tricks. They are no match for us.- Mother smiled at him, but the man just nodded his head, and then he returned to his people. The highest witch had to swallow this bitter pill. Not long now, and his attitude will change. Then,
