Katherine povStaring up at the ceiling, I laid down on my bed, unable to move and unable to speak. It was unlike me but saying that I was weak was definitely an understatement. I could move if I pushed myself enough but I felt too tired and dizzy to do anything. It definitely had to be insomnia because I was either haunted by my dreams or the pain from the parasite curse growing in me was stronger than it was in the day. I never told anyone about it because the last thing I wanted was to be a liability. I managed to push through my days with a smile on my face and the nights without sleep. It's why I always wake up late in the mornings. It was almost midnight and I was sure everyone had fallen asleep. I hissed out loud when I figured that sleep was very far from me. So after a few deliberations within myself, I decided to roll myself out of bed and get milk in the kitchen. Father always had one in my room when I was younger and it would always make me fall asleep no matter the ci
Katherine pov I spent the entire day in my room. Too much was going on for me to handle and too much information and mystery was there to uncover. I had almost lost track of having a second chance in the first place. Stupidly, I got so distracted by the attractions of having to be mates with someone else, forgetting that it was in fact my very first mate that got me in the situation in the first place. I spent the hours thinking of how my life would have turned out if Casto had just been a loving mate to me as we lived together with our children. I imagined myself already pregnant with his child or children and ready to give birth too. He got clouded by his hunger to rule and did the most unforgivable things anyone could imagine. For the umpteenth time, I felt tears roll down from my eyes and soak the sheets I laid on. My life has brought nothing but pain for the entire year and it hurt me to the bone every time I remembered how bad things had been for me. I still couldn’t bel
Katherine PovThe starry sky was mesmerising to my sight, the wind was cool and slow and the moon goddess decided to bless the night with a big bright cast of the moon. As I lay on the soft green grass, a sense of calm enveloped me. The night sky unfolded its beauty above, a tapestry of shimmering stars hanging in cosmic harmony. The moon, a serene observer, cast its gentle glow, illuminating the intricate patterns of the celestial dance. I couldn't help but lose myself in the vastness, tracing invisible connections between stars, feeling the weight of the universe above.The crickets provided a soothing soundtrack, their rhythmic chirping echoing in the quiet stillness of the night. Each blade of grass beneath me seemed like a portal, connecting me to the Earth's heartbeat. The cool breeze brushed against my skin, carrying whispers of the night.In that moment of quiet introspection, lying on the ground, I marvelled at the grandeur of the cosmos, contemplating my existence in the va
Katherine PovThere was slow piano music from a distance, everyone was on their feet. The only thing I had to do was walk the isle, in rhythm to the music and that was where I had a problem Unlike a wedding, I had to walk the aisle alone. Tears stung my eyes as I stared at the enclosed door from a distance. I stood at the entrance of the grand hall, a few steps away from the big brown door that would reveal me to the pack, feeling like I was reliving a really bad day – my wedding. The Luna ceremony was supposed to be a happy moment for werewolves, but all I could think about was the betrayal and horror from before.Memories hit me hard – my almost-husband turning out to be evil, killing the royal family, and even my dad right in front of me. I was scared that history would repeat itself, with a sword at my neck if I stepped forward.I looked good in my ceremonial dress, but it didn't feel right. I wanted to run away, but my feet wouldn't listen. The fear of what might happen if I
Katherine Pov Vampires?!The Luna ceremony hit a sudden pause when someone screamed about vampires breaking into our turf. Panic spread as the news buzzed through the hall. I went from serene to focused in a heartbeat.“Protect our home! Don’t let anyone mess with our unity,” Jade ordered with strength, rising from his seat and telling everyone what to do. The peaceful gathering turned into chaos as werewolves geared up for defence. I, still in her panic gear, managed to follow Sonia and the rest towards the pack rooms to protect the children from the attack. The afternoon erupted with the sounds of paws and clashes as I heard the baked bodied members fight off the vampire invaders.I had heard of vampires from birth but never had I heard that they placed an attack on werewolves, they had lived in peace for several years. I hated how they did not wish for me to partake in the fight. The panic made everything seem rushed and before I could even say a word, I was in a dark undergroun
Katherine Pov"Take the children to the safe room, along with the elders," Jade shouted to no one in particular, but everyone knew what he was talking about and did as he had instructed.Everyone else but me. It had to happen on the day where I was made Luna. The day that was supposed to be special to me."Katherine , follow them," Jade gave me a stink eye when he saw I was not moving along with others.I only just got here. I needed to find Lily"What, why?" I frowned and he sighed."You are in no shape to be here, you have to go," he instructed but my mind was already made up."I just swore to protect–""We were clear about this ceremony. You have not attained the full position as Luna, only its title," Jade stated out. The cathedral was already almost empty. Only the stronger members of our pack remained to fight back. The vampires were trying to break down the door from the other side and Jade was still standing against me staying to fight."Katherine , for once listen to Jade,
Lily PovJude was badly injured, mother and father were no where to be found and I could already hear Jade yell to the other pack members on what to do about the attack. We were good people, I wondered why anyone would even want to attack us. Slowly, I walked out of the bunker, hoping to find any other members of my family and beg them to follow me back down. The thought of them being hurt made me feel fear, I couldn't even bring myself into thinking of losing them. I walked down the hall way, towards mother and father's room. I already passed Jude's room and Jade's. I hadn't found anyone yet and ten minutes had already passed. The hall way was deserted, the sounds of the fight going on outside was loud enough for anyone to hear.I walked down the hallway, feeling scared but not stopping. My big brother Jude was hurt bad, and I was worried about my parents and other brother, Jade. Even though hiding during the attack was safer, I couldn't just sit there.The hallway was empty and k
Katherine PovA search party had been going on the rest of the day. The total number of people that died during the battle were five, but multiple injured. Those five were members of a family and a burial ceremony was to be held the next day. Just when I believed things would go well at my Luna ceremony, we got attacked by vampires who were after me. Alone in the dim room, the Luna dress on my body felt too heavy. Instead of celebrating my coronation, I was haunted by the nightmare that happened. Vampires attacked, hurting my pack, and even Jude, was in the hospital, unconscious and fighting for his life. Guilt ate at me, making me question every choice I made.I regretted believing things would be easy after getting a second chance from the moon goddess. That second chance felt like a joke as my pack suffered.I wondered why the vampires targeted us. Was it because they knew about my second chance? Or maybe even worse…Did Casto know something?I was frustrated and blamed myself as
