Katherine kept her distance in case that would be a trap. It wouldn't be a first for vampires to attack wolves, and she was a perfect target, as there was no other wolf with her.She was watching the man on the ground, but there were no signs of movement. There was also no more vampire scent in the air than his own. And blood. Not a human or werewolf, but a vampire. It looked like he was wounded.~ Should we check on him?~ Katherine asked Lucy.~ Are you seriously asking me that? The good vampire is a dead vampire. There is no need to change it. ~ Her wolf had a firm opinion.It was very accurate. Vampires and werewolves never get along. It was going on forever.Unfortunately, both species fought against each other in the past, and it didn't help at all.Yet, Katherine still felt sorry for the man on the ground.~ I need to shift and take a look at him.~ The Luna finally decided.~ Have you lost your mind?- Lucy growled in her mind.~ I can't just stand here and watch him die. ~ Kathe
Katherine was so shocked that she forgot how to breathe for a minute. How come this vampire knew her biggest secrets and talked about this like it was nothing?The man in front of her slowly pulled himself to the sitting position, still not taking his eyes off her.- Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. - He said, bringing her back to reality.- How did you know?- She whispered, but he just shrugged his arms.Katherine wasn't buying it. He couldn't just drop a bomb like that and keep it for himself.- Is it some royal thing? Secret gift?- She pressed harder on him.The vampire giggled with amusement. - You could say that. - The man replied and went silent again.His behavior was getting on her nerves.- I think you owe me some explanation. - Katherine pointed out.- I owe you much more, like my life, for example. - He said calmly.- Don't worry. I am not going to ask you to die for me. I am still more interested in how you knew my secret. - She said with a small smile, playing on
Marcus raised his head from the papers piled on his desk to look at his son, Greg. He was his heir and an immense pride. His firstborn was robust, courageous, and well-behaved. In the future, he will lead them to greatness. That is why he was chosen as an emissary to the witches' kingdom. It has been years since King Marcus tried to make peace with them. Witches were powerful, but all their power came from spells, charms, or potions. On the other hand, vampires were born with gifts that couldn't be taken from them. That was something that witches couldn't stand. That led to countless battles in the past.It was Greg's father's idea to end that finally. He firmly believed that peace between two species was possible. Now, it was time to find out how the meeting went. - So? How was it?- He asked, leaning back on his chair. - Are they willing to collaborate with us?- Their Mother tried everything to make me believe we were on the same page. But we are not even in that same book.- Gre
Katherine was looking at the scene in front of her. One of the omegas was kneeling on the floor, trying to pick up shattered glass, which probably was a bottle of wine. Her hands were shaking when she tried to grab tiny pieces of glass. Hovering over her was Camille, wearing a fancy dress entirely ruined by spilled wine. In other circumstances, Luna would feel great satisfaction seeing this, but now her blood was boiling as one of her pack members was mistreated.- Let me ask again. What the hell are you doing?- She asked, looking at Camille with hatred in her eyes. If this woman was stepping on her toes, Katherine was okay with that, but what she wouldn't tolerate was abusing her people. Camille offered a similar look before talking. - If you haven't noticed, your clumsy omega dropped the bottle and spilled wine all over my dress. It is ruined.- She said slowly. - This omega has a name.- Luna gritted her teeth. Then she turned her attention to the young girl who was still busy cle
Katherine left her husband's office after this whole unfruitful conversation. It was impossible to believe his words anymore. And she was exhausted from trying. Sean was always stubborn, which was a good thing sometimes, but now it was not working for her endorsement. She would need some hard proof to show Camille's true face. But for now, she had no luck with that. ~ He is entirely blind when it comes to her.~ Lucy said in her mind, and Katherine had no choice but to agree with her wolf. ~ I know that, but I have no idea how to make him see the truth, especially when he perfectly explains her every action. He was even ready to punish poor Lizzy today. That is so not like him at all. ~ Katherine lay down on her bed, looking at the ceiling. ~ Let's forget about that for now. We will eventually figure out what to do.~ Her wolf advised. ~ What do you think about this vampire? ~ What do you mean? ~ The woman asked, surprised by the sudden change of the subject. ~ He seems different
Rachel looked at her friend in disbelief. She knew what she heard, but her brain struggled to process that. Her body was shaking even if she tried to stay calm. - What do you mean by that? - She asked with a trembling voice. Katherine gave her a look filled with concern.- That was not how I wanted to say it. I hoped that I would never have to do that.- I asked, what do you mean by that I would die? - Rachel repeated her question, ignoring Katherine. - You tried to protect me in the past, and then this accident occurred. I am almost sure it was because of your actions. - Luna explained. - An accident? Do you hear yourself? - Rachel said and distanced herself from Katherine, who felt hurt by this movement. - I know how it sounds. You read a letter. - Luna tried to convince her friend to believe her. - Yes, the letter. All of this is wild. - Rachel replied. - We have been friends since we were kids. Have I ever given you a reason to do not to believe me? - Katherine asked on a l
Greg was watching his family since they gathered at the dinner table. He wanted to talk privately with his father, but it was impossible until the meal ended. It was another rule created by his parents, and breaking it would be a big mistake. Like his mother always said, it was a time for a family. Those words could make more sense in any other family but not theirs. The only thing connecting them was blood. Greg was an heir and a future vampire king, and his father paid him attention only because of that. In other circumstances, he would be as invisible as Xavier. Maybe then his mother would care more about him. Now, she only fulfilled her duties, while her love was directed to his brother. Xavier knew how to use it to his advantage. There was no day when he wouldn't remind Greg about his privileged position as the firstborn, like he had something to say in that matter.Gregory was always jealous about the freedom his brother had while he was forced to engage in politics and never-
- What do you think about this, Alpha?- Camille asked Sean while they were sitting in his office. The witch came to report the last events as soon as the fight between Katherine and Rachel ended. It was a perfect opportunity to humiliate Luna and tear her apart from her husband a bit more. Her plan was working, as the disgust in Sean's eyes was evident after listening to Camille's story. She did not miss a chance to make it more colorful, but no one could prove it. - I have no idea what is happening to her. Maybe my wife is overloaded with work and Luna's duties. - Sean was wondering. This conversation was taking a turn as Camille hoped for. - Being a Luna, it is a lot to take. - The witch agreed quickly before Alpha could come to another conclusion. Sean looked at the woman before him with admiration.- You are so understanding, especially now, when my wife is not her usual self.- From time to time, we all have bad days. - Camille leaned forward, putting her hand on his. Alpha lo
