Charlotte hoped they would be finally left in peace, as vampires got everything from them. There were no more secrets he could take from them. But she was wrong. A few hours after the interrogation, King Marcus returned to their cell.- I don't think we can help you more. - Charlotte said when he sat in front of them. - You are right. I do not need anything more from you. I came here to offer you something.- King said with a small smile. - Let me guess: we do not have a choice.- Kiera hissed. She regained consciousness after the King left and cursed herself for weakness. - Of course, you have a choice; there is always a choice. - Vampire replied gently. - Spare us this talk. What choice do we have?- Charlotte cut him off. - You are eager to hear it, so be it. - Marcus nodded his head. - Then tell us, be for we get old here. - Kiera glanced at him and smirked. - You can stick to this behavior; you will be captured and eventually die. - Vampire said sternly. - We do not need ene
Greg looked at his father, who was sitting in his favorite chair. Young Prince just listened to King's actions with Alpha William. He had to reconsider his opinion about the vampire King. He always saw his father as a traditionalist, dedicated to his kind. Except for the incident with the witches, King Marcus always kept his distance from other species. And now he involved himself in helping werewolves. That was so unlike him, but Greg liked this new version of King. Thanks to him, Greg finally understood why Camille appeared in Kathetine's and William's lives. Witches were looking for a new home. It seemed like their old territory was not enough for them. And they decided to take the werewolves' lands as theirs. That was helpful knowledge, but it was also terrifying. But at least they were warned so that they could prepare for the future. Greg couldn't wait until he shared that news with Katherine. She deserved to know what was the reason for her whole suffering. - What are we g
The meeting of all Alphas was finally happening. Everyone in the Red Moon Pack felt excited, without exception. Katherine woke filled with energy she hadn't felt for a long time. She showered, relaxing her body and mind. For the occasion, she chose an elegant navy business suit and a simple white shirt. She put her hair in a tight bun and added small pearl earrings to complete the look. She took off her wedding band as it seemed to be the right thing to do. She looked perfect, just as she planned. On this meeting, she would regain her freedom, one way or another. Sean was waiting for her in the main hall, of course, with Camille by his side. Both of them were buzzing with excitement. Luna knew precisely what their reason was for that, but for the last time, she decided to play the game. - Good morning. - She greeted them with a broad smile, going down the stairs. Sean returned her smile and greetings, but Camille only scrunched her face like she would feel some unpleasant smell.
Sean and Camille busted into laughter after hearing Katherine's announcement.- You have to be kidding me. - The witch said, wiping off tears. Katherine stood still, and her expression remained severe. - Does it sound like a joke to you?- She spoke in a calm voice. Camille raised her brow and replied. - As a matter of fact, it is.Katherine shrugged her arms in response.- I am glad I amused you, but I still stand my ground. I want to challenge Alpha Sean for his position as Alpha. And as long as I remember, I have had full right to do it. Alpha Jason looked at Katherine and the other Alphas present in the room. He received a nod from all of them. - Katherine, you have all the right to challenge any Alpha for his title. - He announced. Sean got red on his face.- You don't know when to give up? - He hissed, looking at his ex-wife. Now more than ever, he was sure his decision to reject her was right. Sean could not believe Katherine would backstab him like this. That is what jea
Katherine watched Sean falling to the ground like it was happening in slow motion. Her eyes filled with tears, and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out. That was not the end she wished for him, even if there was no love between them anymore. He deserved something different. Katherine caught the last glimpse of Camille before she disappeared. The witch ran away like a coward when her plans failed. A crowd gathered in front of Sean's body. Katherine passed all of them and kneeled next to him. His eyes looked at the sky, so she closed them with her hand. That was how the once mighty Alpha ended his life—enchanted, betrayed, backstabbed. Katherine looked at the man who was one the light of her life. She knew she was supposed to grieve over him, but somehow she couldn't. But Katherine could do two things. ~ Moon Goddess, if you can hear me, take care of him. And I will take care of the person who was responsible for this. Show him your mercy in the next life. ~ Katherine prayed
Greg flew off Katherine's hand and sat on the ground before shifting. The prince lifted his head to look at the woman before him while different emotions fought for dominance inside him: fear, happiness, we're mixed together. He finally found some courage to look at Katherine, trying to read anything from her face. She was standing still with an expression mirroring his. - I know it is not the best time to talk about this, as a lot of things happened today, but can you at least promise me you would think about our possible future? - He whispered. Katherine looked at him. The confusion was evident in her sight. - How is that even possible? - She asked no one in particular. - What is possible?- Greg tried to establish what she was asking about. - This, all of this. - Katherine replied, but that still makes no sense to a vampire. He opened his mouth to ask another question, but King Marcus interrupted him.- I think she is asking how you could be mates if you belong to different s
Camille was looking at Xavier with utter shock, and his face was not much different than hers. The which pulled her hand back, but the sensation she felt seconds before was still there. - What was that? - She asked in a demanding tone. - I have an idea, but I don't think you will like it.- Vampire replied, stunned. - Is this one of your vampires' tricks? - The witch hissed, looking straight into his eyes. - Better not. - I wish it was that. - Xavier replied, and his previous confidence was long gone. - Then tell me what the hell was that, immediately! - Camille raised her voice. - That was a bond! - Xavier spoke louder. - What bond? I knew you did something; admit it. - She was glancing at him.- I did nothing! It means we are destined for each other.- He almost yelled. Camille was watching him for a while, and then she burst into laughter. - I am sorry, can you say it again? What kind of crap is it?- The witch was still laughing. Xavier looked at the witch sternly, and her
Katherine was ready to come back to the Red Moon Pack. Just like Greg told her, two Alphas offered her their company to confirm everything that happened. She was grateful for their offer, as what stressed her the most was the fact that some members could have doubts. Even if the best packs, there will be someone who doubts. Sean's body was prepared for their return journey. Katherine planned the funeral for the following day. Greg returned to her pack straight after their conversation to keep an eye on two witches. King Marcus provided him with bracelets that could suppress their magic. They both believed Kathetine would need them when it came to confrontation. Most Alphas had returned to their homes already, and it was time for them to follow their example. Katherine met Alpha Jason, Alpha William, and King Marcus to thank them for the help and support shown to her. - This meeting was not precisely as I wished it to be.- Alpha Jason was the first to speak. - The death of Alpha S
