The Luna Queen's Revenge The Grand Hall
Katherine pov "Do you ever wake up early?" I frowned at the voice that spoke."Leave me alone, it's still too early," I shuffled around my bed. I knew who the person was. Jade had been trying to wake me up for the past ten minutes but sleep was getting the best of me. Then the bed sheet that was cuddling my body close was pulled down from me and I whimpered as the cold atmosphere met my skin."Jade, will you please leave me alone?" I pouted, still refusing to open my eyes. I feared that if I did open it even for the slightest time, I was going to lose the sleep and nice dream I was having.I heard the curtains being dragged open but I didn't flinch until the brightness of the sun came in contact with my eyelids."Jade!" I finally opened my eyes to shoot him a glare but he just laughed at my attitude."You have exactly ten minutes to get yourself ready for breakfast since you’re part of the cooking crew today, else you'll be extremely late. I mean you're already late, but you'll be

Katherine Pov"Must I wake you up everyday?" Jade whispered to my ear. I was glad he whispered, imagine he yelled like he used to. That would have doubled whatever I was feeling. "Oh, it's morning already," I mumbled, putting the pillow over my head. "Yes and you need to get up," he urged me. "I will, I just need you to help me close that freaking window that is opened, it's so cold right now," I begged. Jade looked at me, turning his head to the side, to watch my moves. "Okay," he said slowly, then he walked down to the window and shut it closed. The wind stopped blowing right immediately, I muttered a thank you to him and he nodded, still watching me closely. Sniffing from the running nose I have had since last night, I walked down to the bathroom. I was nowhere near okay and it was not any better this morning. Jade had his suspicions but I could not afford to let him clarify it. He won't let me out of the house or room again. Turning on the steamer, I let the water steam

Jade PovJust after one hit, she passed out. I watched Katherine stagger backwards, holding her nose that was hit before landing on the ground.At first I thought it was an act, so I moved closer to her to raise her hand up, but it fell to the ground instead. That was when I began to panic.She was really unconscious. The thought of me killing my own mate crossed my mind and I shuddered. Lifting her up, I began to run to the pack hospital. The sun was already rising and people were already beginning to wake up. I rushed into the hospital and took her to an empty wardroom. "Someone give me some attention!" I boomed when I realised no one followed me into the ward. Soon two nurses rushed in, checking her up. "Sir you need to go–""I'm staying here," I demanded. I was the one in charge and she could not object as much as she wanted to. I watched them do their stuff and I could barely understand what they were doing. My ears focused on her heartbeat to make sure they were still pump

Katherine pov Slowly, I opened my eyes, greeted by the harsh, sterile light of the hospital room. Tubes and wires surrounded me, leading to an unfamiliar bed. My head throbbed with a dull ache as I tried to piece together the events that led me here.Jade, the intense training session, and then nothing. Darkness.A soft voice disrupted my thoughts as a nurse entered. "Good morning, Katherine. I'm Nurse Carter. You've been unconscious for a while."Unconscious, again? Questions swirled in my mind. "What happened?"Nurse Carter approached, her gaze serious. "During your training with Jade, you suffered a significant blow that made you go unconscious. But that's not the only issue. You were infected by a parasite from a previous encounter with a stray wolf."A parasite? My eyes widened with disbelief. "But I felt fine before the training session."The nurse sighed, "These parasites often remain dormant until triggered. The trauma from the recent fight awakened it. However, Jade testifie

Jade pov"Katherine," I said as softly as I could when I noticed she hadn't seen me come in. She jerked up in fear, abruptly turning to the sound of my voice. "Woah, are you okay?"Her eyes became really glassy and I watched a tear slip down from her eyes. "No."I hated that she cried, so instinctively, I rushed to her. "You'll be okay. I promise," I assured, collecting her into my arms for a hug, hoping that it helped. "No. It's deeper than that. It's not okay," Katherine argued, shaking my head but I didn't care if she thought of her situation as too bad to fix, I was going to help her through it. "What's wrong, Katherine? Did the doctor do or say anything to you—""I don't have a wolf form, Jade." She interrupted. I stood still, processing the information properly before trying to say anything. "What?" I questioned in confusion. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you it Jude all this while. I wanted to, I swear, I was just scared that you both would reject me and I'd have to leave the

Katherine pov Her eyes were piercing, as if she saw through me at first sight. The smirk and amusement that grew on her expression was known to just me and I believed I was not imagining it. She knew everything. "Yes, I know everything," she muttered."Leave!" I yelled out, knowing the boys still stood around to listen to what Dorcas and I had to say. "I'm talking to the both of you."I listened carefully as their footsteps receded into the distance. "Don't worry. They wouldn't even hear the right things we say unless I let them," Dorcas shrugged. I narrowed my gaze at her, wondering if I would consider her a friend or a foe. "Katherine, that's a lot of backstory. We could write a novel and make a hit," she joked, picking a flower pot and playing around with it.Dorcas's eyes traced my every detail, and unease crept through me like a shadow in the dimly lit wardroom. "How do you know so much about me with just a g?" I questioned, my gaze fixated on her.A cryptic smile played on

Katherine pov “What the hell is wrong with me?” I asked rhetorically. “Are you sure you are alright?” Jude asked again. “What, no. I can’t feel my legs. Why can’t I feel my legs?!” I panicked. Oh shit I could not move them. “What the hell is this?!” I screamed at him, not caring if I caused unnecessary attention or not. “Calm down Katherine,” he said to me. “Grey go and call Dorcas, she’s in the library. Sonia get Mr Jones, he’s in the hospital. Tell them to meet us in my room. Now.”They both nodded and sped right past us after Jude ordered. He held me by my waist and lifted me up bridal style, walking to my room.When we reached the room, he placed me gently on the bed. Brushing my hair to the side, he whispered soothing words to me. “Why can’t I feel my legs?” I asked for the umpteenth time. “Will I be able to walk again?”“Shh, that is how it is. Your body is trying to adjust to the illness. With the help of a witch and a doctor, you will be alright,” he placed a kiss on my

Katherine pov“Oh no,” I gasped. The name Casto brought shivers down my spine immediately. If Talia’s mom finds out about me and spills it to Casto’s wife, everything I’ve tried to protect will crumble. Casto, my nemesis, will have ammunition to destroy me. I can’t afford that. Talia says she’ll beg her dad, but can I really trust that? The stakes are too high. I need to find a way to prevent this revelation, or my carefully constructed world will unravel before my eyes.“Don’t worry, I’ll tell dad not to spill anything to her. We all know she is a blabber mouth. Dad will listen to me,” Talia shrugged. “You believe he won’t tell her?” “I mean there has to be a good reason for you to do this and we’re faithful to you and your family. So yes, dad will listen to me. If he doesn’t, I have this potion I took from the shelf down the hallway. It makes you forget what happened a few hours ago.”“Did you steal from Dorcas?” I asked with wide eyes. “Borrowed.” She corrected me. “So can we

The Luna Queen's Revenge uncovered
Epilogue Katherine Pov “You’re going to die with the child in your womb.”I stood stunned as Castro revealed the shocking news – I had a baby growing inside me, amidst the fierce fight raging between us. This discovery hit me like a thunderbolt, as it began to make sense of the mysterious waves of sickness I had been experiencing lately.I had never even thought about the possibility of being pregnant. My reduced sense of smell and sight had gone unnoticed, and not even I or anyone else had picked up on the signs. The realization that I carried a new life within me was both thrilling and worrying, a bittersweet discovery in the middle of our clash.I grappled with the conflicting emotions rushing through me. On one hand, the news of my pregnancy filled me with a sense of wonder and the promise of a new life. Yet, the timing could not have been worse, as I found myself locked in a high-stakes duel with my sworn enemy, Castro.How Castro had uncovered this information remained a myste
The Luna Queen's Revenge conviction
Katherine Pov “A holmgang?” Castro raised his brows, laughing out loud for a moment. “Is something amusing to you?” I glared daggers his way. “I refuse,” he shrugged. “You can’t, even the council knows that you cannot do that. If you do, the entire kingdom will by law be forced to turn against you and pick a new ruler by themselves. Your head will be cut off and as will mine but unlike you, both our deaths are a price I’m willing to pay,” I explained, knowing that the consequences were too brutal for him to reject. His gaze changed from a playful smile to a death glare at me. I had fearlessly challenged my sworn enemy to a fight to the death, leaving him with no option to refuse. The stakes were incredibly high, and the outcome would determine both our fates.In my heart, I firmly believed that only two possibilities awaited us: either I would lose my life, or Casto would suffer his ultimate defeat. If I were to fail in the fight, I acknowledged that I had no rightful claim to r
The Luna Queen's Revenge Clouded Expression
Katherine povSusie.My heart skipped a beat, and I swiftly turned around to locate the source of the sound. However, my joy quickly turned to concern as I noticed Susie's mother hastily covering her mouth with her hand, her eyes pleading with me to stay away. She shook her head and I could have sworn I saw tears cloud her eyes. So I stepped back, I stopped. Seeing Susie brought me a sense of relief, knowing that she was safe, but I couldn't ignore the fear that clouded the expressions of both mother and daughter. It sent shivers down my spine.In that moment, my disdain for Casto intensified. They had stripped these people of their freedom, confining them in a state of constant fear and oppression. The sight reinforced my determination to fight against the oppressive forces that had taken hold of our once vibrant and free community.I lived these few months in joy while my people suffered and even now that I had returned, I was helpless and they remained hopeless. I felt a mix of
The Luna Queen's Revenge woeful Display
JADE PovMy blood boiled with anger as I watched the council's woeful display of decision-making. I couldn't fathom how they could be so blind to the consequences of their actions. Standing there with my brother and Jasmine, I had to endure the painful ordeal of hearing the council members' proposition.They callously suggested that we should return Jasmine, tearing her away from our side, and take back Katherine in a misguided attempt to avoid war and mitigate further loss. The very idea left a bitter taste in my mouth. How could they believe that sacrificing one person for the sake of appeasement would bring any true resolution?I clenched my fists, feeling an overwhelming surge of indignation. The council's incompetence enraged me. They failed to see the bigger picture, the human cost of their decisions. They were willing to play with lives, treating them like pawns on a chessboard.Jasmine stood beside me, her eyes filled with apprehension and vulnerability. I couldn't bear the th
The Luna Queen's Revenge Shot Taken
Brenda Pov“Stop! Guys! Hold on!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, running after Jude, Jade, and Grey who seemed to be engrossed in a conversation and did not hear my cry from a distance or most likely chose to ignore me.“What the hell guys?!”My eyes shot wider when I heard him scream. “She has something to say,” Nathan added, his voice probably louder than mine. I felt a blossom inside me and wondered if this was what people referred to as butterflies in their bellies. However, I had no time to think about how Ethan made me feel. “Oh, apologies. We were too engrossed—”“They have her!” I remembered how much I was gasping for air from the shock and fear I got from panicking. “Katherine!”My words were broken down, but I believed they understood the message I was trying to give because right one cue, Jade and Jude dashed right past me, towards the direction of her room. Grey stayed behind though, his eyes widened in horror. “Who has?” He was the only one logical enough to get mo
The Luna Queen's Revenge On The Outside
Katherine povAfter what felt like hours, I finally reached the door. Stretching my hands out, I reached for the handle but instead of drawing closer, it drew farther away from me. It was being opened on the outside. “Well look who we have here!”I froze on my steps, chills running up and down my body knowing I was caught even before I could attempt to escape. The door to the barn had swung open and I just stood there in shock and fear of what might happen next. “I actually believed it was just a rumour that you were alive,” James said. James. He was one of the palace guards when my father ruled, he was always so quiet but there were times I heard him make funny jokes. “Is she awake?!” I heard someone yell from outside. “Yeah!” James yelled in return. I was caught already, I was done for. “Do as I say and play along if you want to live Katherine.”My eyes shot open in hope when I heard him whisper in a lower tone to me. Meeting him, I believed he had join forces with Casto a
The Luna Queen's Revenge The Lies
Katherine povYou lied to me…You betrayed me…wake up.They’re all dead…You murderer, I’ll never forgive you….“Wake up!”I jerked my body out of the trance I was stuck in for a moment. It was a dream, a nightmare even. Like my entire life flashed before my eyes, every of the tragedy. My head hurt, banged at every corner of my scull. It felt like I was knocked out by a boulder. Frey was the one who dragged me out of the nightmare, it felt like it went on for years. Something was not right but I could not pin point it. I could not even open my eyes fast enough because of how bad my head felt. Eventually, my surroundings started to come into view and it looked nothing like my room or anywhere in the pack house. It reeked of shit, literal poop and that was the first sense that hit me. My sense of smell. It was horse shit and it was disgusting. Unfortunately, I was covered in it and there was nothing I could do about it at the moment. I tried to move but I couldn’t, not just because
The Luna Queen's Revenge Direction
Katherine Pov7:39 pm…I was being watched and I could feel it at the bottom of my belly. No one was in sight but I knew something or someone was following me. Every once in a while, I would swiftly turn around but the sensation vanishes once I look towards the direction. The commotion from this morning had come to an end before it was even noon, everyone had gone back to their daily lives, and the victims were admitted to the hospital. To my surprise, the council had not called for my attention concerning Jasmine but I believed Jude and Jade had something to do with it. Once again, I abruptly turned on my heels, trying to catch the made-believe stalker by surprise but I still ended up with the same result. Nothing. “Are you okay?” Sonia questioned for the umpteenth time and I nodded in approval. It was going to raise false alarms if I had called attention to how I felt at the moment, especially because the entire territory was on its toes. She was due in about a week or earlier t
The Luna Queen's Revenge Disorganised Pack
Katherine Pov “Jasmine left the house in the middle of the night.” I blurted out, hoping to distract his attention from trying to seduce me. “Excuse me?” Jade raised a brow, retracting his hands from my waist and taking a step back. “Brenda and I found out last night and followed her into the woods,” I explained further, watching every bit of his expression, hoping he believed me. “You what?!” His eyes shot open and eventually turned into a glare. “You don’t need to get mad-”“What if something happened to you?” Jade crossed his arm before leaning against the wall behind him. “We did not leave the pack’s territory. Plus she just vanished into thin air and by the time we all woke up this morning, people lost body parts. Permanently,” I retorted, mirroring his glare, disappointed that he was more worried about my whereabouts than the safety of the pack. Jade went silent, staring blankly into the abyss as he got lost in his thoughts. I could almost not read his expression, but I k
