Catherine's POV The evening was filled with joyful voices from our pack, tunes, and an explosion of laughing and jubilation. The air was filled with the aroma of roasted meats and substantial stews, and bonfires threw warm, flashing rays on the faces of those gathering. An occasion to commemorate our togetherness and pay tribute to the past, it was an annual meeting steeped in tradition.

The bonfires shed a radiance on our pack members' faces, and the night was really lively. We arrived at a more tranquil area, and I exhaled with relief.

Catherine's POV The moment Philip said my name and beckoned for me to follow him away from the commotion of the throng, I was unable to avoid feeling a mixture of excitement and dread.

CATHERINE'S POVAs the night drew close to an end and the full moon began to move towards dusk, the wind and air moved furiously to indicate the departure of the Moon Goddess from our midst but never lost her presence. I watched as I sat at a corner as men danced with women and women danced with men. There were no restrictions, there were no boundaries, just freedom and enjoyment, drinking and eating. This night for me was evidence of Phillip's complete and unyielding love for our daughter Anna but it wasn't necessarily an assurance of his care for me.

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.

An eerie silence had descended upon the pack ever since Catherine's duplicity was exposed, leaving me to deal with the unnerving fallout from my choice to reveal her.I had known all along just what I wanted to do: expose Catherine's betrayal, provoke Philip's fury, and see as he banishes her, cutting the treacherous thread that jeopardized the cohesion of our pack.
