LIZZIE'S POV

There had been a lot of nervousness and impatience in the weeks after the festival. Catherine's odd conduct had been bothering me more and more. I was uneasy because I couldn't be sure what she was doing; it looked like everything she did was hidden.

My Catherine has always been seen as quiet and reserved. Over the years, I had found solace in her serene and kind demeanor. However, recently, it seemed as though a curtain had been drawn to conceal her actual feelings and thoughts.

The most disconcerting alteration was her propensity to disappear for extended periods. Her excuses, such as wanting time either by itself or having things to do, were evasive, but it was unusual for her to act that way.

It was impossible for me not to question that she was hiding from me. Was it something to do with the festival's activities, or were there other changes going on that I was not aware of? It was getting harder and harder for me to concentrate on whatever else because of the naggi

Though the way to become the Luna of Blood Slashing Pack was exceedingly hazardous of perilous, the notion itself was alluring.There was a great deal of danger and unpredictability associated with Stanley's proposal to remove Philip and install a new Alpha. I could no longer overlook the threat it caused to the stability and cohesion of our pack. And though Philip and I had formerly been at odds, the Alpha demonstrated remarkable compassion and understanding, which left me balancing my personal goals against the well-being of our family.Philip was not the one with whom I had shared this secret. The decision to participate in such a dark scheme carried nearly intolerable weight. Even if my goal was to maintain my status as Luna, could I live with the fact that I had planned m

My faithful servant Mich was sent to spy on Catherine in an attempt to ascertain the real reason for her strange actions. I couldn't get rid of the persistent feeling that she had hidden things from the family, so I became tenacious in my search.

Keeping my cool and hiding my concerns before the other members of the family had not been easy.My suspicions had developed as I had observed Catherine intently at the family get-togethers and her dealings with Philip.

    LIZZIE'S POV I patiently waited for days for the right moment to quietly face Catherine. It seems like the only opportunity I had to speak with her in private was when she would routinely take Ana outside for some fresh air. I couldn't take the chance of being heard or observed discussing with her the private information Mich had disclosed. I prepared for the ideal opportunity to get in touch with Catherine, and the days seemed to go on endlessly. Her regular ritual of escorting Ana outdoors had started to dominate my thoughts. This was the one occasion when I may be able to speak to someone privately without setting the family as well as other pack people on edge.I had mentally practiced this dispute countless times. My remarks had to make Catherine understand the seriousness of the issue and the full ramifications of her conduct. However, I had to exercise caution as I was aware that she had acquired a few advantages with Philip and the family. I felt a range of feelings as I ob

Lizzie's demand had left me faced with two agonizing choices: to tell Philip about my covert plot or to willingly abandon my family. Both options had the potential to cause turmoil and grief, and none was good.I had to consider the ramifications of my choices, even though it was heartbreaking to consider being apart from the people I love, particularly Ana.

    LIZZIE'S POV The waiting had become an excruciating torture while I awaited Catherine's reaction to my ultimatum. After two weeks had passed, it appeared that Catherine seemed either too absorbed in her thoughts to respond or she was not bothered by my admission. My patience was starting to wear thin due to her lack of reaction. I had imagined all kinds of reactions from her throughout those two weeks. Would she voluntarily go from the house so that I wouldn't have to tell Philip about her scheme? Or would she decide to tell Philip the truth herself? Maybe she was thinking of methods to sneak a change of heart without me knowing. I was getting close to panicking from the excitement and the seemingly limitless options.I had intended to tip the scales with authority in our family with the knowledge I possessed about Catherine. Her covert scheme, which she had concocted with Stanley, was a serious risk that may sever our pack's confidence. She could never get away without it from me,

Skepticism and uncertainty weighed heavily on the air, like an unsaid query demanding a response.I felt the wave of unease that went through the group, a sign of their misgivings about my abrupt promotion to a leadership role.

What had previously felt like a golden prison had become a painful expanse of loneliness over two weeks. Furnished with opulent furniture, the room had turned into a haven and a jail.With Ana, my darling little daughter curled up in my arms, there was only one thing to feel better in this stuffy environment. Her innocent look was blind to the struggle swirling inside of me as I attended to her needs, the burden of duty pressing down on me.

Lizzie was sitting at the dining table staring at me expectantly and with anxiety in her eyes.I said, quietly but firmly, "Lizzie, we need to talk."A frown began to develop on her eyebrows as she lifted her head from her plate. Our dining room was spacious and well-furnished, which only served to heighten the significance of the talk that was about to take place."What's happening, Philip?" she said, searching my eyes for information.I sat down across opposite her, the enormity of the speech I intended to utter amplified by the oppressive quiet of the room. "I've accepted a choice, and that's significant because it includes the pack's safety and the possibility of Stanley's treason."Lizzie's eyes narrowed, a mixture of worry and fascination.
