For a moment I felt peace, my body felt at its lowest point, and in that moment, I realized life is meant to be like this; a place or a moment where you don't have to be bothered by anything. However, what became peaceful, became worrisome as time flew. It was rather much too peaceful not to even listen to the sound of my heartbeat or even my breath.
While I thought through these things, a scream pierced through my ears and propelled me to shut them, almost immediately. The scream was feminine and the moment I opened my eyes to get a glimpse of where it was emanating from, I realized I was in the middle of a battlefield.
The question of how I transcend to this place was kept at the back of my other numerous thoughtful questions. The sight before me was horrific-almost too horrific to be witnessed by an

Catherine POV"Whatever happened to you?" Philip questioned as he gets closer to her, pointing out the bruises I had not noticed. I stared at Rose and realized that she was only out here because of one single reason."The Pack is in danger!" I spelt out and she shook her head affirmatively to my statement."We never expected an invasion to happen, but it did happen and what was more shocking, was the fact that the person behind the invasion is the Rogue King. She had broken the age-long relationship the pack had and if I am been real, it's beyond horrifying, the things they did to our pack. Right now, Queen Zara is dead!" I froze at the shocking revelation.Regardless of my stance with Queen Zara and her prejudicial judgment, I still took her as a leader and

Third P.O.V The Alpha was seated quietly at his chambers when Williams made his way into the place. He knew that it wasn't the appropriate time to be there, but he also knew that if he didn't let the fyi off his chest, it would continue to dwell inside of him for a long time. Without turning around, the Alpha already knew that he was the one and even made a gesture indicating that he should step inside. "I already know why you are here, there is no need to beat around the bush to plead for forgiveness" The moment Williams heard this, the hairs on his back stood up and at that moment, he knew that he fucked up for sure. "Alpha, I am sorry I didn't tell you. I was just overwhelmed by the feeling that she was with me" "When were you going to tell me?" The Alpha asked turning around to face his son. "If there is one thing I want you to understand boy, is the fact that I see everything and yes I may be angry with you for not letting me know, but that doesn't change the fact that I am

When Kevin got home, he was glad that his mother had not arrived yet. He had painfully dragged the heavy pound body of the strange man, over to their house. At first, he thought of putting the man in their basement, however he knew that it would be foolish of him, after all the stranger helped him achieve by the tunnel. Never had he seen someone so weighing than the stranger and taking his body was equivalent to lifting dumbbell for workouts. He successfully took him into their apartment and unto his own room, where he believed he could have much control over. He changed into something much more casual and placed all his books on the table. There was certainly lots of assignments that he needed to accomplish and he was going to get them done as soon as possible. Before he would start, he knew he needed to visit the kitchen as it was the only place that could satisfy this growing hunger within his belly. He made his way out of the room and bolt the door quietly in a bit not to wak

I smoothed down the skirt of my dress and took a deep breath. I had to remind myself that I was ready for this.Tonight was the night of the big dinner with Alpha Philip. He had invited me to dine with him, and I knew it was an important moment.It was a chance to show him that I was capable of being a good mate and that I could be the perfect Luna for his pack.

CATHERINE POV"The rogues are attacking!" he said, his voice shaking. "They're destroying our homes and burning our crops! They've already killed several of our people!"My stomach dropped. The rogues were a group of werewolves who lived outside the pack system, attacking innocent people and causing chaos. I had always been afraid of them, and now they were attacking my home."Where are they?" Alpha Philip asked, his eyes flashing with anger. "How many are there?""We're not sure," the soldier said."We need to organize a defense," Alpha Philip said, turning to me. "Catherine, I need you to gather the pack members and get them to safety. Can you do that?"I nodded, trying to hide my fear. "Of course, Alpha Philip," I said. "I'll make sure everyone is safe.""Good," he said. "I'll lead the fight against the rogues. We have to stop them before they do any more damage."I could see the determination in his eyes, and I knew that he would stop at nothing to protect our pack.As I headed ou

PHILIPS POVI heard a low growl, and I turned to see a figure standing in the shadows. It was Will, Alpha Philip's right-hand man. He was watching the rogues disappear into the forest, his face filled with fury."We have to help him," I said, my voice trembling. "We have to do something."Will's expression was grim. "There's nothing we can do," he said, his voice heavy with grief. "They have him, and we are outnumbered. We must regroup, and make a plan.We headed back to the camp, the air filled with tension. The pack was milling around, their eyes filled with fear and confusion. I could see them looking at me, waiting for me to lead them. But I didn't know what to do. I was in over my head, and I had no idea how to save Alpha Philip.As I looked around, I saw a small figure huddled in the corner. It was Rose, the pack's only omega. She was trembling, her eyes filled with tears. I went to her, and I knelt beside her."Rose, what is it?""It's Catherine," Rose said her voice barely a w

PHILPS POV I held my breath as the healer worked, my heart pounding in my chest. I had never seen them work before, but I could tell that they were skilled and experienced. Still, I couldn't help but worry. What if they couldn't save her? What if they were too late? As the minutes ticked by, I felt myself growing more and more anxious. I had to do something to distract myself, so I began to pace around the room. It didn't help much, and I found myself checking my watch every few minutes. Just then, the healer stood up and turned to face me. I felt my heart skip a beat as I waited for them to speak. "She's stable for now," they said. "But she's lost a lot of blood. We need to get her to the pack's healer, and fast." A wave of relief washed over me, but it was quickly followed by fear. "Can you heal her?" I asked, my voice shaking. The healer looked at me, their expression grave. "I can try," they said. I nodded, and I watched as they carefully picked up Catherine and carried her o

As the figure stepped forward, I felt my pulse quicken. I stood up, preparing to fight, but I knew it was hopeless. There was no way I could beat this man. He was too strong, too fast. And then, he spoke. "I am the one who sent the rogues after you," he said, his voice cold and cruel. "And now, I've come to finish the job." My heart sank, and I felt a wave of despair wash over me. "Why?" I asked, my voice breaking. The figure tilted his head, and his eyes glinted in the dim light. "It is not my place to explain," he said. "I am simply following orders." I felt my anger flare, and I clenched my fists. "You're a coward," I said, my voice filled with contempt. "You attack women and children, but you won't even explain yourself." The figure's face darkened, and I saw his grip on the dagger tighten. "Do not test me," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "I am not one to be trifled with." Before I could say anything, I heard a growl from behind me. I turned, and I saw a large wolf sta

CATHERINE'S POV As I entered the community meeting area, where pack members gathered for talks and declarations, I could feel a sense of anxiety in the air. As soon as I walked in, whispers and whispered talks stopped, and interested eyes looked at 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. Many were confused by the swift change from a Luna behind confinement to a leader guiding the pack's future, and the doubt that pervaded the atmosphere was reflected in their gazes.The scrutiny became more intense as I got closer to the temporary platform where pack leaders normally addressed the members. The looks on the sea on faces ranged from mistrust to flat-out incredulity. It became very apparent how difficult it was for me to gain their trust.I inhaled deeply before going up on stage, with everyone in

CATHERINE'S POV I was faced with the enormous issue of bringing the pack together, which was weighing heavily on my mind. As two women propelled into roles of authority, Lizzie and I took the lead in this initiative, trying to mend the broken strands of trust and create a unity of sorts.Lizzie and I met in the large study, which was filled with expensive cherry furnishings and bookcases that held innumerable books. As we sat opposite from one another, the weight of duty falling on our heads like a thick blanket, the environment crackled with a feeling of purpose."I had not signed in for this one," Lizzie said, her resolve and doubt visible in her eyes. I sympathized with her; the unanticipated course of events had thrown us into unanticipated roles."Not a single of us did," I said, looking her in the eye. However, we have been given the responsibility of keeping this pack together. We must figure out how to make it function."The stone walls of the study, covered in the understand

CATHERINE'S POV Every day that passed seemed like a lifetime spent inside the confines of my room. 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. Even with the room bathed in a subdued brightness from the glowing sunlight filtering through the drapes, the cold that persisted in my heart persisted.The loud ticking of the elaborate wall clock reverberated throughout the room, serving as a constant reminder that time was passing at an excruciatingly slow pace. Two weeks had passed between my fingers like sand grains, and I was left entangled in the opulent maze of affluence that had become a res

LIZZIE'S POVI jumped through the table, my chest still thumping from the rage, and the opulence of the mansion's dining room vanished behind me. I was drawn outside by the scent of the neighboring garden in the evening air. To process the storm of feelings Philip's plea had unleashed inside of me, I wanted the comfort of wide-open spaces.Stepping out of the warm shelter of the evening, I was met by the expansive estate stretching before me. The sky was tinted pink as well as orangeas the sun sank low in the horizon, creating a pleasant glow. I took cover from the deluge of contradictory ideas on a seat tucked away in the garden, the calming sounds of the natural world providing a moment's reprieve.My thoughts raced with questions as I sat down on the bench.

PHILIP'S POV The sound of my footsteps reverberated across the lavish area, which was opposed to the secret choice I had chosen. 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. "Exactly what somewhat choice?"Leaning forward, I placed my palms on the shiny dining tabletop. "I'm about to fa

PHILIP'S POV As I left my house and the small comforts of the family behind, I was met by lengthy shadows from the rising light and relentless trials ahead. Dissatisfaction echoed like spirits in the air, and the familiar smells of the complex told narratives of a pack in disorder.I couldn't stop thinking about Catherine's captivity in our house; the conflict between my responsibilities as an Alpha and a parent kept me restless all the time. I was having trouble sifting through the complicated web that had been created by the pack's requirements, Stanley's lurking danger, and Catherine's deceit.I could hear the pack members' disgruntled whispers as I strolled around the complex. With each second of hesitation that went by, the once-unwavering loyalty that held us together appeared to wane. As the second mate to Philip, I found myself in a difficult position where my loyalty was needed to balance the pack's expectations with Philip's unclear objectives.Beneath my skin was a seethin

LIZZIE'S POVMy wolf was aware of my uneasiness and was restless, just like me. 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. However, when the days grew into evenings, the anticipated removal never occurred. Rather, Catherine stayed imprisoned within our Alpha's house, a live symbol of the treachery that hung over us like a shadow.My thoughts were tinged with doubt. Why was Philip so attached to Catherine, the beast who had woven a false web to get within our pack? Was he unaware of the threat she created, or was perhaps a more nuanced reality at play that I was unable to discern?I walked erratically into the center of the courtyard, a raging sea of questions racin
