Princess Katie Anne~~“At first, I saw a beautiful place. The most beautiful place I have ever seen, with a clear, blue sky and clear water, and a landscape that just takes my breath away.”I stuttered softly, feeling the way my mate’s heart raced since my back was pressed to his chest. His heart was racing because mine was doing the same. I was restless because I knew better than anyone that the sweet story was about to change.“The place seems oddly familiar to me, even though I have never been to that place. I see myself walking, running, and exploring the place, even though it felt like home, but while doing that, everything suddenly changes.”I looked into my mom’s face because I knew she was just as anxious as I was.“The sky darkens, the water turns crimson, and the once-beautiful landscape transforms into a harsh, unforgiving desert. Until today, my vision had ended here, where everything descended into a nightmare. But today, I saw more, and it was horrifying, Mom,” I whis
DAVIEN~~Hearing my mate’s low whimpers as she turned and tossed in my arms kept me awake all night. I knew she was having the same dream, and I immediately did everything I could to calm her, but surprisingly, nothing was working.A few hours before daybreak, Katie’s low murmurs turned into a loud cry for help.“Wake up, Katie!” I shook her trembling body.But even that didn’t seem to cut her off from the dream she was having. While I was still trying to wake her, Luna Aurelia and Auntie Susanna barged into our room, ready to help Katie. If I thought ending Jarrett’s life would mark the beginning of our peaceful life, I had thought wrong.“We don’t have a purifying lake around here,” Queen Aurelia muttered anxiously after she touched Katie.Auntie Susanna gave her a weird look before she said, “You can always make an alternative, Relia. Just use your blood and say the magic words.”Despite the worry etched in her eyes, Queen Aurelia rolled her eyes and chimed, “Even if I can, it’s
Princess Katie Anne~~For the first time since Dolf surfaced with Davien, he showed himself. Dolf, a wolf I have bonded with since I was a little girl, revealed himself not just to me but to every member of the pack he once governed as the wolf spirit of Tristan.So it was only fitting for everyone, including myself, to be in awe… to be shocked.For a moment there, even Jarrett froze, with his hand and stolen sword in the air. After all, we all knew who Dolf was. His scent and aura were purer compared to when he was Tristan’s wolf, but still, members of the Black Fur Pack recognized him.“It’s Dolf.”“It’s Alpha Tristan’s wolf.”“The same one that Luna Queen Aurelia saved after Tristan ceased to exist? How is this possible?”“That can’t be. It’s impossible.”The crowd murmured amongst themselves, asking questions they couldn’t get answers to in that moment because even though the rest of us had frozen, Dolf hadn’t—and he was closing the remaining distance between himself and Jarret
Princess Katie Anne~~The roar of the crowd couldn’t drown out the sounds from my throbbing heart. The minute they collided, my heart began to race erratically, not because I was scared but because Davien was excited.And as his mate, I could feel his excitement burning within me—a fierce, fiery thrill that made my own pulse quicken. There was no weapon. Just their fists, but every hit that followed their clash echoed like a thunderclap in my chest. Yet beneath that, a different rhythm beat—one of raw anticipation as I wondered how this would end.In my favor, or would the outcome slash my throbbing heart into unrecognizable pieces?Hell, maybe I am a little scared. After all, that was my mate over there—engaging in a fistfight with a complete lunatic.“He will be okay,” Zoe muttered with conviction. “This is not the battle of Alphas. There are no rules, which means we can help him if needed, and from what I can see, we won’t be needed.”While one of my wolves was oozing with confid
DAVIEN~~Truly, Jarrett’s crimes weren’t severe enough to get him a death sentence, and as much as that killed me to admit—because I wanted him dead—I had to. After all, he didn’t commit any crime, aside from the part where he contacted the banished witches.All he did was plot and scheme. While that could get him punished, it wouldn’t get him killed.My joy knew no bounds when Jarrett announced with his own mouth, “I would rather die than become their prisoner!”However, it was short-lived when Alpha King Raiden decided to ignore him and pass a fair judgment.“All Alphas and Lunas that were involved in this scheme are hereby out of office with immediate effect. Their authorities have been stripped, and they will be transported to the Royal prison back in Dark Moon Pack.”The King continued, his voice loud and commanding, “For the Betas and Gammas who went behind their Alphas and Lunas’ backs to join hands with Jarrett, you will be transported to the Royal Prison to serve your time
Princess Katie Anne~~I understood that my mom was greatly disturbed, but who would have thought she would throw that question to the crowd, especially to the people of Black Fur?The witches were banned because they were bad for the realm, so why on earth would she even consider bringing them back?“Because the witches won’t stop trying to come back to this realm, Katie,” Zuri answered that question and went on to explain herself by saying, “The human realm wasn’t designed for them. That place is killing them, so they keep trying to get back to this realm even if it means turning us against ourselves.”Then Zoe chimed in, “True. First, they got Tristan’s parents, then Larisa and Tristan, and now they have managed to get their claws into Jarrett as well. We have to break the cycle if we want true peace.”I didn’t think it was fair to blame the witches for the actions of the greedy people Zoe just mentioned, but the outburst from the crowd stopped me from countering my wolves.“What
