Katherine was shocked by King's invitation. She quickly glanced at Greg, looking for his support, but Prince seemed as surprised as she was. - Don't worry; we do not bite.- Marcus joked to help her relax. - It is a great honor, but I do not want to be a burden. - Katherine replied politely. - We do not have visitors other than vampires. It would be refreshing to talk with someone like you. I am sure we could find a lot of common subjects to talk about.- Vampire King offered a soft smile to Luna. As Katherine could not think of any other excuses, she decided to accept the offer. She nodded her head.- Splendid! Greg will show you the room where you can rest. The dinner is around 8 o'clock. - Marcus said and returned to his desk. Greg came closer to Katherine, showing her way. Luna followed him absentmindedly. Soon, they reached the long hall with doors on both sides. Greg opened one of them, letting Katherine in—her stuff was already there. Luna looked at Greg suspiciously, but he
The Queen looked at Katherine like she would kill her on the spot, but Luna kept her head high. - Are you suggesting something? - Greg's mother hissed. - It was just a statement. It was not my intention to offend anyone. I am sorry if you took it personally. - Katherine replied in a cold voice. - Don't think too highly about yourself. The vampire queen was not giving up. - Why shouldn't I? I know my value.- Luna replied and focused on her plate. The food looked delicious, and she was not going to waste it. Greg's mother opened her mouth but was immediately stopped by Marcus. - That's enough!! - The King said loud enough to make his wife jump.- Katherine is my guest, and all she received from you were insults. I will not allow this at my table. - No worries, I lost my appetite anyway. Xavier!- Queen pushed away her plate and stood up. She felt humiliated, and what more, because of a werewolf. It was more than the queen's pride could take. She left the dining room with Xavier, wh
Katherine was raging. Still holding Xavier's neck, she threw him across the room, where he hit the wall and fell on the floor like a rag doll. He slowly moved to his knees, supporting himself with his hands. He looked at the woman in front of him with utter shock. Katherine was watching him, and her eyes were still glowing violet. She was panting heavily, trying to take her anger under control. The door to her room opened, and Greg entered.- What is happening here?- He asked Katherine, but then his sight landed on the man still kneeling on the floor. - What the hell are you doing here? - He asked his brother, who was trying to stand up. Xavier looked at him with hatred and tried to run away from the room. But he had no chance against Greg, who grabbed him and threw him back on the floor. - She attacked me! - That was a low blow, but Xavier was desperate. - Tell him what you tried to do, or I will.- Katherine threatened the young prince. Greg looked at her, noticing the color o
The rest of the trip passed in an awkward silence. Greg was occupied by thinking about his newest discovery. Theories were multiplying in his mind, and he was eager to confirm them, but that could be too much for Katherine. Luna, on the other hand, was thinking about what was waiting for her in the place she used to consider home. The truth revealed to her by Marcus and his son was burning her like fire. At some moments, she could not believe all of that was happening. Why did it have to be her pack and her marriage that this witch decided to choose? Katherine quickly felt embarrassed about such thoughts, as they were selfish. She should not wish anyone fate like hers. - Could you tell me more about your family?- Greg asked out of the blue. Katherine found out that it was his habit. - I am a daughter of Gamma; my mother was also a talented warrior. I spent most of my early years in the training field, working on my fighting skills. There is nothing special in my family. Why did you
Katherine looked at the omegas, waiting for more explanation. It was evident that all of them were concerned. - Maybe she stayed with somebody? - Luna asked. - Lizzy would never do that. Every day after work, she goes straight home. - One of the omegas replied, bowing her head slightly. - What about the boyfriend or mate? - Luna was not giving up. Young girls are sometimes irresponsible. - She is too young to have a mate, and I don't think she has a boyfriend. Lizzie is an introvert and prefers to stay away from others. This girl is timid. - Another omega said, shaking her head. Katherine was out of ideas. She knew that girl as she had worked in a pack house for two years. Her coworkers were right, she was shy and clumsy occasionally, but she was a good girl, liked by everyone. - I will take care of this. I am sure she will be back soon. - Luna promised and left the kitchen. She didn't feel hungry anymore. Katherine went straight to her husband's office. He was an Alpha respons
Katherine was sitting next to Lizzie's body. Tears were rolling down her cheeks while she was boiling with anger.Greg was watching her, and his heart was breaking as he understood her feelings. It is evident that the witch was involved, but no proof could be used against her. - Do you have any idea what Camille could have against this girl? - The Prince asked.- No. - Luna whispered, still sobbing. Then she remembered an incident from a few days ago. - One time, she spilled a wine on this bit*h dress. I found her scolding this poor girl in the middle of the kitchen. But it was an accident.No. No one kills over the stain on the fabric. - Katherine looked at him with disbelief in her eyes. Luna wiped off the tears, smearing dirt on her face. She looked so vulnerable and broken right now. - I am the one responsible for her death.- Luna hung her head. - What are you talking about? - Greg asked, surprised by her words. He kneeled next to her and lifted her head. - I stood up for her a
Camille returned to the pack house after the ceremony. She was amused by all this fuss about someone's death, especially if that was just an omega, the lowest rank in the werewolf hierarchy. They were barely noticed when they lived, and now it looked like they had lost someone significant. The witch closed the door to her room and sat on her chair. The funeral was a form of entertainment for her, but now she focused on Katherine's speech. She had to admit that Luna had charisma and was respected by others. That thought bothered Camille. She planned to make Luna invisible to the others, letting them forget about her existence. For now, it worked only with one person, her husband. Alpha was entirely under her spell. Camille thought she would have more time to work him out, but it looked like she would have pushed her plans forward. Of course, he was already considering what she had implied to him: the rejection. The witch used every possible occasion to remind him there is only one wa
Two days later, Alpha was in the office, between the mess he had made. Then, slowly, he picked up the phone, which escaped his rage. He dialed the number left to him by Marcus. Vampire King picked up after a while. - Your Mighesty, this is Alpha William. I am going to help you. Please tell me more about your plan.The day after the funeral, Katherine was still thinking about her conversation with Greg. She was still stunned by what the young prince discovered. ~ Moon Goddess blessed us to make us stronger. ~ Lucy purred in her mind. Katherine suppressed her smile. Her wolf was very proud of them being unique. ~ It's nice to know we are not defenseless anymore.~ Luna replied. ~ But we are not sure if it will work against Camille. Now, we only know that vampires cannot use their gifts against us. ~ I am sure it will work on her as well.~ Lucy sounded confident. ~ I can not say I am looking forward to checking on your theory. ~ Katherine admitted honestly. The witch could hide mo
