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
Katherine was standing at the front of the pack house while all members gathered before her. Beta Calvin stood by her side; his face showed that he was the same confused as others. Alpha Tom took his place in front of everyone and spoke. - Thank you all for gathering that quickly. It is an important evening, even if not every news will be happy. I decided to be one to share the saddest information with you. Unfortunately, Alpha Sean is not with us anymore. - Tom got silent as many gasps could be heard from all directions. - What happened? Who did it? - The questions were coming from the pack members.Alpha Tom took a deep breath, but then Katherine put her hand on his arm, stopping him from continuing. Those were her people now, and they should hear it from her. She moved forward and looked at the people gathered before her. - During the meeting, Sean decided to divorce and reject me. I agreed with his decision as there was no love between us. After rejection, Sean marked Camille
Two days later. Mother was furious. Her usually pretty face was scrunched and twisted with anger. Sheila and Sharon, who were sitting before her, were trembling with fear. - You had one job! - The highest witch was yelling. - I chose you because you are the elite of this coven, and what I see now? Complete failure! - We followed your orders. It was Camille who disobeyed you. - Sheila said, and her voice was shaking. - She was too greedy. Her ambitions led us to this disaster. She could stay in her pack, where everything was given to her on the plate. She chose to go after this Alpha. Mother glanced at her, and Sheila immediately stopped talking. The leader's sight was filled with hatred.- I don't need your excuses. - She hissed.- You were there to keep an eye on her. Where are your sisters? Sharon tried to shrink in her seat. None of them knew what happened to Charlotte and Kiera. They lost contact when the witches were sent to Alpha William's pack.- I asked you a simple quest
Camille was watching a woman before her. Xavier's mother was sitting in their temporary house. It was a place Xavier had found a few years before and changed into his shelter. He lived here when his mother was mad at him, waiting for her anger to subside. Luckily, the Queen couldn't be angry with her beloved child for too long. Now, she was, in fact, beaming with joy. Her dear son found himself a bride. And she was not some ordinary vampire female he liked to flirt with in the past. His fated bride was a witch. It was an excellent coincidence since the Queen was always fond of witches. She was disappointed with her husband when he decided to give up on the alliance with them. In her opinion, it was a failure. But now there was a chance to fix it. Their kinds could be united. And all of that would happen, thanks to Xavier. - I am so happy for you, son. Your bride is a gem indeed. - Queen said joyfully. Camille looked at her and thought Xavier's mother would appreciate her even if
Two weeks later.Katherine was sitting in her office as a lot of things required her attention. She finally finalized the contract about the school's modernization. The work will start any day now. New equipment was ordered to pack's hospital. After Sean's funeral, Katherine threw herself into work, as some things could no longer be postponed. Beta Calvin was a great help to her. The young man engaged himself in the warrior's training. Beta was talented and devoted to his work. Katherine was happy to have him by her side. Katherine had another thing that was occupying her mind. It was Greg. Her mate was very understanding. He gave her the space she needed. But now it was time to repay his kindness. For the last two weeks, Greg has been supporting her while keeping his distance. And he always showed her nothing else than patience.Katherine was ready to give them a real chance. It was a time to tell everyone about her mate. ~ Finally.~ Lucy said in her mind. She was grumpy for the
Katherine stood by Greg's side, carefully looking around. Alphas Jason and William stayed behind them together with King Marcus. They arrived at the pack an hour ago. What they found was very depressing. The whole pack was empty. There was no single soul left. Katherine glanced at Greg.- What happened here? Where is everyone? Vampire looked around, and it was evident he was confused, just like her. - I have no idea. It looks like everyone is gone. - But they left everything behind them? All their possessions, personal belongings. - Katherine raised her brow. - What made them leave in such a rush? Alpha Jason came to them. - Two other packs look precisely the same.- He said quietly like he was afraid someone could hear him. - Members of all those packs are gone without a trace. - Are you telling me they vanished? Because it is hard to believe no one noticed large groups of werewolves traveling on those lands. - Katherine asked him, doubtful. - That is obvious something happene
