로그인Katherine’s POVAfter the guards dragged a screaming Sofia away, Nikolai hastily followed, desperately trying to use his newly unlocked inheritance to settle the humiliating mess. Even the King was left completely speechless, awkwardly ordering the musicians to play and forcing the party to continue.I slipped out of the grand hall and walked down the quiet corridor. The overwhelming stench of strong alcohol and the heavy, musky scents of hundreds of werewolves were making my head throb and my stomach churn. It was a painful sensory overload, but as I pressed a hand to my lower belly, a soft smile touched my lips. It was a healthy sign. My wolf was adapting. Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed behind me. Before I could even turn around, my mother launched herself at me, using her enhanced werewolf speed.Her palm struck my cheek with stinging force. My head snapped to the side."You!" she screeched, her face twisted in fury. "How could you do this to the Knight family? Yo
Katherine’s POV“Sofia’s wedding…” I honestly had no idea how everything had moved so incredibly fast, but it was actually happening today. The grand royal wedding and the sacred mating ceremony were being combined into one massive, exhausting event. The entire upper echelon of werewolf society was descending upon the castle—the high council, visiting royals, and every single member of the pack would be in attendance.I stood in front of the grand mirror, taking a deep breath as I prepared myself for the chaos. I sat before my vanity, completely ignoring the lavish gowns laid out for me, when Francisca walked in carrying a massive stack of parchment."My Luna," she murmured, bowing her head. "The final invoices for your sister's wedding ceremony. The merchants are refusing to proceed until they are paid."I took the heavy stack of bills, my eyes scanning the ridiculous list of expenses. Thousands of gold coins for imported silk, exotic white roses, and crystal chandeliers. Sofia
Katherine’s POVAgatha sneered, her eyes gleaming with malicious glee. "What? You didn't know?" she mocked. "Did Alexander keep this little secret from you?"I stared at her for a long, tense second. Then, I scoffed. The scoff quickly turned into a cold, mocking laugh. Slowly, the triumphant sneer vanished from Agatha's face, replaced by sudden uncertainty."Of course I know I am pregnant," I lied smoothly, tilting my chin up with absolute Luna authority. "It is just that... miserable people like you always love to ruin beautiful things before we are ready to announce them."Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Alexander's tense shoulders drop a fraction. He let out a silent, heavy breath of relief that I had not reacted impulsively or exposed his secret in front of our enemies.But a second later, his protective relief morphed into ferocious rage."Who told you this?" Alexander demanded, "Only the pack healer knew about this... unless you cornered him?" A deep, chest-rattling growl ri
Katherine’s POV"I am not leaving... you," I whispered, even though I was still unsure of exactly what the future held for us. A pang of guilt twisted in my chest for feeling so hesitant when he was so absolutely certain about me."I like you, Alexander," I confessed softly, the truth finally spilling out into the quiet room. "I like you so much."He smiled down at me, a look of overwhelming adoration softening his glowing eyes. He pulled me impossibly closer, the intensity of his affection making the rest of the world completely fade away. I could only let out a soft, breathless sigh as he whispered something I couldn't quite understand… my mind too dizzy and entirely lost in the all-consuming magic of being in his arms.I completely lost track of time. All I knew was that I eventually drifted off to sleep, feeling incredibly safe, wrapped tightly in his strong arms.The next morning, I woke up with a soft smile already playing on my lips. The bright morning sunlight was streaming
Katherine’s POV"Where have you been?" I asked the very second he stepped back inside our chambers.Ever since I had shifted into my wolf earlier today, absolutely nothing felt the same. My senses were dialed up to a maddening degree, and my emotions were completely volatile and entirely out of my control. Every little thing annoyed me to no end.Just like right now. Instead of feeling simple curiosity, a sudden, fiery wave of irrational jealousy was clawing at my chest, making my newly awakened wolf pace aggressively in my mind. I desperately needed to know exactly where my mate had gone, what he had been doing, and who he had been with."You are late," I accused, crossing my arms tightly over my chest and shooting him my best, most intimidating glare. "I thought your endless meetings about pack wars and border patrols were already finished for the day."He did not look intimidated in the slightest. In fact, a slow, incredibly amused smirk spread across his handsome face as he leis
Alexander’s POVTwo hours ago."I want you to cast a protection spell to completely hide her pregnancy from everyone," I commanded, "Since it is still in its earliest stages... barely more than blood, not fully formed pups yet... I need it to remain an absolute secret for now."Christian bowed his head respectfully, though his expression remained grim. "Yes, Alpha. I will cast the concealment ward. But you must understand, a cloaking spell will only last for three months. Once the pups begin to truly develop, her maternal aura will grow too powerful. After that, I will not be able to hide them from the rest of the pack anymore.""I understand," I murmured. For a brief moment, my voice lost its harsh. I looked down at my hands, the weight of the crown feeling heavier than ever. "I just want to protect them from this very second onward."I paused, letting out a heavy, conflicted sigh. "And... I do not want her to know yet."Christian looked at me in mild surprise but remained silent, wa
