Katherine sat on the floor and looked at Greg. She was waiting for good news, but whatever the man brought was far from that. - What do you mean by the big problem? - She asked, twisting her fingers. - You couldn't get a bracelet? - Let's forget about the bracelet for now.- Greg waves his hand at her. Katherine felt goosebumps on her skin. What could make Greg change his priorities?- What happened in here? - Vampire prince asked again, overseeing her. - What do you mean? Nothing happened. - Katherine told him, confused.- Are you sure? So can you tell me about the woman that I saw recently?- Creg gave her a hint. - Those are women that Camille found in the woods. She was on the run with our fighters. They belong to one of the packs that were recently attacked and destroyed. Sean let them stay here for a while. - Luna quickly explained the last events. Greg was listening very carefully to her every word. - You cannot be more wrong.- Greg finally said. - They are witches. Kather
Charlotte looked at the Alpha William and hissed.-Do you think you can stop us, little wolf?The man glanced at her and grinned.- I think I am doing just fine now. Do you want to try some tricks on me? Oh, I forgot, you can't. And now, if you allow, my men will take you to one of the comfortable rooms. Please feel at home. I will come to talk to you later. Alpha turned on his heels and returned to his office while his men dragged two witches away to one of the cells. He felt so good by doing this, but all he dreamed about was putting his hand on the witch that turned his life into a nightmare, the one who stole so many years from him—his so-called daughter. King Marcus was still in Alpha's office when Willam came in. - How did it go?- Vampire asked. - They were taken to the cell.- Alpha replied.- What about the bracelets? - We managed to put them on. They won't be able to use magic. - William said with a nasty grin. It was the King who gave him obsidian bracelets that were us
Charlotte watched King Marcus coming closer, and her eyes filled with terror. What did Camille get into? Why the Lord of all vampires was here? Questions were building up in her mind. It was unheard of for vampires to collaborate with werewolves. They were way above those primal creatures. Vampires were above witches, but that was a fact that any witch would say out loud. Now, this man was coming closer, and his aura was almost choking them. His presence fossilized Charlotte to the point when she was ready to scream. Probably, even Mother would feel uneasy in this situation significantly if her powers were suppressed like hers. - Which one of you would like to be first?- King Marcus asked in a calm voice, but his question made them tremble with fear. - Well, if there are no volunteers, I will pick myself. He looked at Keira, and it seemed he had made his choice. Charlotte was unsure if she felt good or bad about it. She did not want to be chosen first, but now she was forced to lo
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
