“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

    Katherine Pov "You look pretty" Fera, my wolf says almost breathless.Glancing at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. "Someone looks happy" A soft voice whispers into my ears, tearing my gaze away from the mirror to see my bestfriend and bride's maid, Kayla standing beside me. "Of course I'm happy" It was my mating ceremony after all and plus, my mate was someone I truly loved. I couldn't possibly be happier. "You've got yourself quite a catch, Katherine" Eliza says, brushing my hair slowly as her gaze meets mine in the mirror. "Lord Castro is the best man there is out there"She was right; I couldn't deny it. "And, Katherine has every right to be as high as a kite right now" Jezzy, my third bride's maid chimed in a singsong voice. "Her mate is none other than her childhood crush!"I bit down on my lower lips; trying to suppress a blush. It is true that I've had a crush on Castro since we were young. That's why I was more excited to see what the

    Katherine Pov I was shivering in my stead but I tried my best not to let it show else Castro would think that he had the upper hand--and maybe he did-- because When I was finally able to snap out of my fear, I diverted my gaze to my father's head on the ground as my anger began to burn deeper within me. As tears slid down my cheeks, I raised up my head to meet Castro's gaze. His sword was still aimed at my neck unflinchingly. My gaze moved between Jasmine, my cousin and him one more time before I questioned. "What do you think you are doing, Castro?""What does it look like, Katherine?""A coup?"Castro smirked. "You're right!""But why?""Why?" Castro repeats as if he didn't hear me properly the first time. "Because all 'this' " He gestures at entire palace. "Is supposed to be mine"A part of me still wanted to be in denial. A part of me still hoped that Castro wasn't using me and actually had feelings for me. "It's still going to be yours after our mating ceremony so why?!""Li

    Katherine Pov I find myself descending downwards in a black void of emptiness. I couldn't see my hands or feet though. I was just...there. "Where am I?" I asked not waiting to hear a reply but out of the darkness came light from above. And descending from the light in a white apparel was Selena herself, the moon goddess. "Are you awake now, Katherine?" Selena inquired, extending her hands out to me. "Are you ready to come home with me?"I shook my head. "No""Why?""Father, my brother..I have to avenge them and I need to protect the palace against the likes of Castro and Jasmine," I explained. "If I don't do this, I'm not sure my spirit can be at rest""Then what do you suggest I do?""Please Selena, give me a second chance at life. I have to protect all that I couldn't do before because I was blindsided by love""Why don't I give you that second chance but take away your past memories?.

  • The Luna Queen's Revenge    Mountain

    Katherine Pov It's been seven days since I woke up in this forest, seven days I'd managed to survive with no food or water. Seven long dreadful days. And I didn't have the strength in me to go on any longer. The silence this situation engulfed me in left me with nothing to think of rather than Castro's betrayal which kept on playing over and over again in my head like a broken caseete. My anger coupled with hunger made me thirst for revenge all the more. Each day that went by reminded me of my last memory with Castro; hearing his sinister laughter with Jasmine's as I faded into a big, dark oblivion of emptiness. It's a pity that those were the last things I remember. And with that, I found the will to get up once again and leave this goddamn maze-like forest. "Over there!" Fera says excitedly. "There's a mountain"I let out a frustrated hiss. "With the way you were excited I thought you saw a pond of water or something""We would never know until we get there right?"Staring a

I and my twin brother, Jude were yet to find our mate and it had now become a thing of concern in the pack that's why Father had gone out of his way today to host a selection ceremony for Jude and I to select a mate and die down the rumours in the pack; But, neither of us was in the mood to do so.

    Jade pov "My office, now!" Father snapped, he had the deadliest glare and it made other people around cower in fear. Brother and I sighed. It was obvious we didn't want to leave our mate but for some reason, our father chose to be pissed off at the fact that we actually found ourselves a mate. He turned on his heels and stormed out with us reluctantly following behind. Everyone began to murmur and mutter about the situation that was going on. It made me slightly angry that no one would mind their business and everyone just enjoyed poke nosing. I assumed it was because we were the royal family but it didn't mean we weren't people too. The walk to his office it was quiet. I still wondered why he chose to have an office when other Alphas chose to have thrones and a throne room. My brother Jude saw it as reasonable though. We were both next in line to the throne and either the kingdom was split in two or we both ruled together. We insisted on ruling together but my father beli

    Jude PovShe remained silent. About a minute had passed and mother refused to say a word to us. She just restlessly strolled back and forth from her room. Her face looked really puzzled and she as usual placed a hand on her hip and another on her chin as she rampaged into her thoughts. I had concluded within myself that no matter what happened, I would not chase my mate away or deny that she was my mate. I had already told Jade this and he agreed to it and if we were able to convince both our parents, then the rest of the pack could go to hell for all I cared. "Does your father know?" Just as I thought, she finally was able to mutter some words. "Yes mother and if I may-""Where is she from?" She cut in before Jade could finish "We don't know yet. She was found unconscious." I responded. "Does she know?" Mother peered further but we shook our heads. "No, mother."She went mute once again, going back to her strolling around and thinking deeply.

    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.

    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

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

    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

    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

    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

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.
