Katherine looked at Camille with utter shock in her eyes. She wished to have Greg by her side now as she started to see red. Her claws elongated, And she was ready to jump on the witch at the sign of the slightest move. ~ How dare she show herself here? ~ Lucy growled in her mind.~ She must be crazy, so be prepared.~ Katherine told her wolf, and she received another growl from Lucy. - Are you done talking to your beast? - Camille asked her, unfazed by the sight of sharp claws. - How dare you show yourself after all you did? - Katherine gritted. - Please, I don't like it as much as you, but we may have a common interest. - The witch replied calmly. - My only interest is to rip off your throat.- Alpha female said in a hateful voice. - Give me a reason not to do this. And it is better to be a good one. - I came to help you. - Camille said, and Katherine gasped in disbelief. This woman had nerves. - I think you have helped me enough already. You almost destroyed my pack and killed
King Marcus looked at his son sitting before him. - I am proud of you, son. You found yourself an acceptable bride. I am sure the two of you will do great things together. - Thank you, Father. I can't stop thanking the gods for mating me with Katherine. She is a loving, caring person. She will be an extraordinary leader for both our kinds. - Greg replied with a soft smile. Whenever he thought about her, his heart melted. Katherine was unique to him from the day they met. She did not hesitate to save the vampire's life, even if that could endanger her. His bride always put others' needs before hers. - I would like to invite Katherine to introduce her officially to the members of the coven.- King interrupted his thoughts. - That is a very kind gesture, but are our people ready for this? Many of them are still old-fashioned. - Greg replied carefully. He did not want to admit that it was his mother's reaction he feared the most. The last visit did not end well. Only Katherine's extrao
Greg looked at his bride with a puzzled expression. She could not be serious. It seemed like her past with Camille made her suspect everyone. - What makes you think Sammie is anything else than a little wolf? - He asked Katherine. - Camille. - She replied slowly. So he was right. The witch did more damage than he expected. Now, his poor bride was seeing enemies everywhere. - Honey, you can't think every person in your life is an undercover witch. - Vampire said with a soft smile and pulled the woman closer. - It is not what you think. I am not overreacting. She told me that. - The female Alpha tried to explain, but her mate only glanced at her. - Who told you what? - Greg tried to understand what Katherine tried to tell him, but he could not find any sense in her words. Camille was long gone, way before the attacks and finding a girl. - Camille told me that she was here. - Katherine said with hesitation. She was not sure how her mate would react to that news. Greg looked at her
Sammie looked at Katherine and Greg like an adult could look at two not-very-smart kids. Alpha felt shivers running down her spine. She grabbed Greg's hand to add courage. This little girl in front of her was terrifying. It was hard to believe this girl was a child. Her look was severe, cold, and calculating. - Close your mouth as you may catch the fly. - Sammie said, glancing at Katherine. - How is this possible? - Alpha mumbled to no one in particular. - It must be shocking to a lowly developed creature like you. Witches are born very smart. - The girl chuckled. The next moment, Greg was holding her throat. - You had to be unfortunate then. - Vampire hissed. - I have warned you once, and you disobeyed me. Now, it is a second time. If you insult my mate again, it will end your life. The girl seemed unfazed by his actions when she burst into laughter. - She is your mate? And you call me unfortunate? Mighty vampire prince bonded to a wolf. That is hilarious. - You are walking
Greg returned to Katherine an hour later. The Alpha was resting in her room when her mate arrived. - The girl is gone. She will never cross our borders again. - He said, taking Katherine in his arms and kissing her neck. Greg did not mention what Sammie told him before leaving. There was no need to worry her more. - They will come back. - Katherine replied.- We are ready for them. My father sent warriors to neighboring packs. Witches will not surprise us anymore.- Greg replied, still kissing her neck. - We will push them back and teach them a lesson never to set foot on those lands.- I am scared of the lives that will be lost until then.- Katherine said and crushed her lips on his. She desperately needed her mate now. He was giving her strength. - I can not promise that no one will die, but we will win this war. - Greg said when they parted to catch a breath. Katherine hid her face in his shirt, inhaling her mate's scent. - Now, I would like to talk to you about something. - Va
In the first moment, the silence was so overwhelming that you could hear a pin drop. Katherine's eyes widened in shock. She glanced at Greg, but he was stunned, just like her. What made her feel better was Camille's facial expression. It was clear she did not expect to see her either. The only person who found it amusing was Xavier. He stood next to the car with a grin on his face as if he had just heard the best joke ever.All of that happened in a split second. Then all of them heard the loud voice of King Marcus. - What the hell is she doing here? - He asked, looking at Camille. - I would instead ask what she is doing here. - His wife was eying Katherine with hatred. ~ Yep, no change in here. ~ Lucy said in Alpha's mind. ~ I would say it is worst than it was. ~ Katherine replied. - Let's get inside; we will discuss it in the office. - King Marcus ordered and turned around. The Queen glanced at them for the last time and followed her husband. -I had no idea about that. - Greg
Katherine stood up from her seat. - We need to go back now! - She said, looking at her mate. No one else mattered to her right now. - We are leaving right now. - Greg replied as he knew there was no point arguing. As an Alpha, Katherine had to be by her people's side. - I will fly back. It will be the quickest way to get to the pack. - I will shift and run.- She replied, ready to leave. - You will be exhausted when you arrive. - King Marcus said, and Katherine had to agree with him. - There is nothing better I can do. My people need me. Camille glanced at her mate, but Xavier just shrugged his arms. - I will help you. - The witch said. - Get ready and wait outside. - What are you going to do? - Greg looked at her suspiciously. - I will teleport us to your pack. - Camille told him dryly. - Us? - Katherine asked her. - I will help you this time. - The witch replied with a grin. - Can we trust her? - Greg hesitated, but Katherine cut him off. - I would trust the devil itself
Megan was boiling with anger. The simple attack that should be a great success turned into a catastrophe. Thirty warriors end up dead, instead of the werewolves. Martha stood next to her leader, trying to avoid her anger. It was hard as she was the one in charge of this mission. They were supposed to throw this victory into Mother's face, showing her how the old methods should be replaced with the new ones. And now they had nothing. - For the last time, I am asking why did you fail? - Megan hissed, looking at her right hand. Everything was planned in the tiniest details. The alpha couple left the pack. There was nothing that should stop them. - They had help from vampires. - Martha replied to what she already said at least five times. - There were ten vampire warriors. And the Alpha couple returned to the pack. Or they never left. Our spies informed us they had entered the vampire's lands. Yet somehow, they were back soon after the fight started. - It means that your spies are wor
