The confusion that followed was without parallel. The morning after the attack, the Crystal Cloud Pack pack was thrown into confusion and despair. Things had been going smoothly in the morning, but that all changed when the guard who had been spaCatherine from the rogue werewolves ran into the packhouse, panting and loving Catherine in blood.The guards who were stationed at the door wouldn't let him in easily, having seen his state. They tried to prevent him, which caused a mild scuffle. He still managed to bully his way into the Packhouse and ran with the guards hot on his trail.He fell at the feet of the Crystal Cloud Pack Alpha, Kevin, who was in the middle of listening to a complaint from one of her pack members.

He said, his breaths coming in fast gasps. "They attacked us," the guard said, his voice trembling. "Th
Catherine'S POVAs I sat at the dining table with Alpha Philips, the silence between us was palpable. The whole table was covered with food like it was a small party for ten grown men. Despite knowing we wouldn't go halfway through the food, Philips still insisted we were served that way.The food set on the table was a delicious spread of meats, vegetables, and bread. The meats were cooked to perfection, with a crispy golden-brown crust on the outside and a juicy, tender interior. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, with vibrant colors that caught the light. There were platters of roasted carrots, green beans, and Brussels sprouts. The bread was freshly baked, with a warm and fluffy texture.The centerpiece of the table was a large platter of succulent roast beef, surrounded by smaller dishes of glazed ham, roast chicken, and grilled sausage. The aroma of the meats was mouth-watering and they were all accompanied by rich, savory gravies and sauces.The table was also set with large
Philips's POVMy suspicion was confirmed the moment the guard barged into the room to tell me Alpha Kevin had come to see me. I had sensed a familiar Alpha aura before then, but I didn't know how or on whom to place it. I stood from my seat, my face contorted with anger. I stormed out of the room, my heavy footsteps echoing through the passageway. The walls of the passageway were lined with portraits of past Alphas of the Blood Slashing Pack. I didn't spare them a glance as I made my way towards the meeting room.The meeting room was located on the top floor of the Blood Slashing Pack's edifice, a towering building that overlooked the city. I walked towards the elevators located at the end of the passageway, my anger giving me energy as I strode towards the elevator. I pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator doors closed with a soft ding.As the elevator ascended, my mind was filled with thoughts of Alpha Kevin and his visit. I entered the meeting room, the door slamm

I knew I shouldn't be eavesdropping on the meeting between my mate and Philips, but I couldn't help myself. I needed to know what was going on and what was being said about my pack.As the elevator doors opened, I stepped out into a long hallway. The sound of voices grew louder as I made my way towards the meeting room. I could hear my mate's voice, raised in anger, and Philips's deep growl in response. I knew I was getting close.I crept closer to the door, my heart in my throat as I listened to the conversation inside. I could hear my mate accusing Philips of attacking our pack and Philips denying it. I felt a pang of guilt as I realized that my presence in the Blood Slashing Pack may have caused more harm than good.As I listened, I could feel my heart jump as I heard my mate's words, "You have crossed the f*cking line, Philips. You have broken the treaty and killed members of my pack.
Narrator's POVAs Alpha Kevin walked through the Packhouse, the members of his pack quickly stepped out of his way, sensing the fury and determination in his demeanor. They could see the fierce look on his face and the guards surrounding him, and they knew that something serious must have transpired in the meeting room.They watched in silence as he passed by, not daring to speak or ask any questions.

He lay in bed for a moment, rubbing his temples, trying to alleviate the pain.Just as he was about to drift back to sleep, he was jolted awake by a voice in his head.

Catherine'S POV As I wake up from the sound of the knock on my door, I rub my eyes blearily, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me. I climb out of bed, carefully stepping over the clothes that are strewn across the floor, still in my nightgown. I make my way to the door, my feet sinking into the soft rug that covers the floor.I open the door to find one of Alpha Philips's guards standing there, a letter in his hand. He tells me that it was delivered to Catherine by a confidential woman who refused to say her name. My heart races as I see the seal of my mate on the letter.
