KATHARINA

At Xander’s question, I stopped twirling the pen and held it still between my fingers.

I studied him for a long moment before asking lightly, “Remind me, how long has the moon vein existed?”

He paused, following which a flicker of realization crossed his face.

“About… two thousand years,” he said quietly, lowering his gaze.

I pretended not to notice.

“There’s your answer,” I replied curtly. “The moon vein was artificially created and was never meant to last indefinitely. The source of

    KATHARINAI had barely reappeared in Xander’s room when a knock sounded at the door.My brows furrowed.He’s back?The thought was dismissed almost immediately.No. If it were him, he wouldn’t knock. He would simply walk in, after all, he was the homeowner.Arriving at that conclusion, I sat down on the sofa unhurriedly.“Who is it?” I called out calmly.The knocking ceased, followed by a pleasant female voice speaking from the other side.“Hello, Miss Haven. My name is Jacqueline Archer. Alpha Xander asked me to deliver some things to you.”Right.He had mentioned arranging daily wear and necessities before he left.At that thought, my expression cooled at once as I recalled how easily he had influenced my choices earlier. Even if I had changed out of that blue dress in the end…My gaze dropped to the black dress I was wearing now.The mere realization that he could affect me that way left a faint unpleasant taste on my tongue.I parted my lips, intending to tell the woman outside

    XANDER“Effective immediately, Elder Hatton will cease to serve as an Elder of this council.”My gaze swept across the room as I delivered the announcement, my voice cold, controlled and absolute.Before anyone could interrupt, I continued.“He is to be stripped of all rights, privileges, and authority granted to him by his former position.”A stunned silence fell.The remaining Elders exchanged uneasy glances, but none rose in protest.Not even Archer.The silence shattered with a scream.“No!” Hatton let out a strangled sound, forcing himself upright against the weight of my suppression, disbelief and desperation twisting his features.“You can’t do this to me! You can’t just take my seat because I said the wrong thing!”I regarded him for a long moment. Then my lips curved faintly, devoid of warmth.“Saying the wrong thing?” I echoed softly. “After all these years in this position, you’ve grown remarkably skilled at downplaying your crimes.”The next moment, the pressure of my Alph

    XANDERBlissfully unaware of the turmoil I had stirred in Katharina’s heart, I left the manor and headed toward the Council Hall, prepared to deliver news that would undoubtedly plunge the elders into upheaval.Midway through my destination, someone stepped directly into my path, and made me halt in my tracks. “Annabelle,” I said instinctively, a faint crease forming between my brows as I recognized her.Elder Hatton’s granddaughter—the one he had repeatedly attempted to make my Luna.I held no particular opinion of her. But the mere association with her grandfather made it impossible to muster even a shred of goodwill, regardless of her impeccable reputation within the Pack.“Alpha Xander,” she greeted softly, her head slightly lowered.I hummed in acknowledgment and waited for her to state why she'd stopped me. When she remained silent, impatience began to creep into my expression.“Miss Hatton,” I said politely, suppressing my irritation, “I am pressed for time. If this is not ur

    KATHARINAAt Xander’s question, I stopped twirling the pen and held it still between my fingers.I studied him for a long moment before asking lightly, “Remind me, how long has the moon vein existed?”He paused, following which a flicker of realization crossed his face.“About… two thousand years,” he said quietly, lowering his gaze.I pretended not to notice.“There’s your answer,” I replied curtly. “The moon vein was artificially created and was never meant to last indefinitely. The source of its power—the witch’s true essence—was finite. Naturally, it would deplete over time. The fact that it endured this long is already a miracle.”I let the words settle before adding pointedly, “To demand more than that is greed. And unchecked avarice rarely ends well.”His head dipped further, and the air between us grew heavy.I wasn’t concerned whether my words offended him.The warning was sincere, and it marked the limit of my goodwill. If he chose to accept that his Pack’s reliance on the

  • The Cursed Alpha And His Hybrid Mate    Chapter 38

    XANDERIn a blink, two days had passed since the revelation at the moon vein cave.In that time, I had yet to properly face Katharina.Every time I recalled the cutting derision in her voice before she vanished, whatever resolve I had gathered dissolved instantly.At one point, I even considered the possibility that she might have left the territory and returned to the forbidden grounds.But when I returned to my room that night, she was there. The relief that struck me in that moment was immediate and sharp. And with it came a realization I could no longer deny.I wanted her here. Beside me.Badly.Yet as I stood at the doorway that day, watching her in silence, she treated me as though I were nothing more than empty air.She did not so much as glance in my direction.And in that moment, I realized I missed how she'd previously treated me. Her teasing remarks.Her sharp, dismissive looks.Her deliberate provocations that left me both irritated and unsettled.Everything.At least

  • The Cursed Alpha And His Hybrid Mate    Chapter 37

    KATHARINAThough at most, he had likely intended for her to brew some potent concoction—something to enhance strength, sharpen abilities, perhaps even boost aptitude.But the foolish woman went far beyond that.At first, she did create several strengthening potions. Yet it didn’t take her long to realize the flaw with it—long-term use would inevitably result in side effects. And given the size of his Pack, she could never sustain the supply alone.So she shut herself away.I watched with cold detachment as she buried herself in ancient witchcraft texts, searching and racking her mind for a permanent solution to save her beloved and his Pack. The scenes shifted repeatedly, marking the passage of days.Gradually, the werewolf’s patience thinned. The tenderness in his gaze—never fully genuine—began to recede slowly. Of course, she failed to notice.But to those of us watching, it was painfully obvious.However, before his impatience could fully run out, she finally sought him out with
