LOGINKate's P.O.V.“What the fuck?”The words exploded out of my mouth before I could stop them.My chair scraped loudly against the floor as I shot to my feet.“Are you out of your damn mind, Jace?”Shock rippled through the hall. Even Alpha Rowan looked stunned.Osiris rose beside me instantly. His dangerous growl vibrated through the room.“How dare you utter such nonsense about my mate, Alpha Jace?”His Alpha aura rolled across the hall, rattling the windows. His voice was cold enough to freeze.“Kate is my mate. I am the father of her pups.”Unlike us, Jace remained infuriatingly calm, almost as if this was precisely what he wanted.Alpha Rowan’s face darkened. He spoke in a grave tone.“This is a serious allegation, Alpha Jace. You cannot make such claims without evidence.”Jace nodded solemnly.“Of course, Alpha. I understand completely.”Then he gestured toward his Beta.“That is exactly why I didn't mention this matter during the previous hearing.”His Beta stepped forward carryin
Kate’s P.O.V.Jace and council meeting?What was he up to now?This question hammered my head as I rushed toward the meeting hall as fast as my omega feed could, tension tightening my chest. It was finally the day of my mating ceremony, and this sudden meeting… it didn’t feel right at all.By the time I reached the meeting hall, my heart was hammering against my ribs. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, the cold air greeting me.The atmosphere inside was suffocating.Osiris sat at the center table, his face expressionless. He might have looked like a completely composed alpha, but I could feel his tension through our bond.The stern faces of Alpha Rowan and others weren't different from him, screaming danger. I was about to greet everyone when Jace smiled. He spoke casually.“Come on in, Kate. We have all been waiting for you.”My stomach twisted. There was something so suspicious about Jace’s attitude that it rang ominous bells inside my head. I looked toward Osiris instincti
Kate's P.O.V.Finally, the day I had dreamed about all my life had arrived.As a little she-wolf, I had grown up listening to the stories about fated mates and mating ceremonies. Every girl in my pack dreamed of walking toward her future beside the wolf chosen by the Moon Goddess.After my sixteenth birthday, my dreams became a secret, as being an omega meant such dreams weren’t meant for girls like me.Yet somehow, against all odds, I had found my mate, a man who looked at me as if I were the most precious thing in the world.A soft smile appeared on my lips as I touched my mating mark.“Thank you, Moon Goddess. Osiris is indeed the best.”For the first time in years, I felt like my parents' prayers had finally reached the heavens.They prayed for my bright future, and still, Mom and Dad weren't here to see this day. They would never see their daughter become a Luna.My heart ached.“Goddess, they would never meet Osiris and their grandchildren.” Tears burned my eyes. I blinked rapi
Kate's P.O.V.I had to place a hand over my mouth to stop myself from laughing. Jace had walked right into Osiris's trap. Not only that, he had practically sprinted into it.The moment Osiris questioned him, all of Jace's confidence evaporated into thin air.His face paled, and for the first time since arriving at the Wild Prowlers Pack, he looked genuinely afraid.“H-How can I not know that?” Jace stammered. “You have an agenda against me, Alpha Osiris.”A bitter laugh escaped Osiris, the sound echoing through the silent hall.“As you can't say it out loud, let me explain the actual truth, Alpha Jace.”The entire room fell silent. All eyes turned toward Osiris as he said, his voice cold and controlled.“You are accusing me and questioning the credibility of the council simply because you're scared, Alpha Jace.”He continued mercilessly.“My Luna, Kate, is from your pack. Despite wearing my mark, she was tortured, humiliated, slut-shamed, and ultimately forced to flee after you ordere
Kate's P.O.V.“Goddess, why do I keep forgetting everything?”Muttering under my breath, I cursed myself as I hurried toward the council hall.Honestly, this was becoming ridiculous.Osiris had specifically told me that the meeting would begin at four in the evening. And somehow, I had still forgotten.Just like I forgot our mating ceremony was only weeks away.“What do I even think about all day?”Before I could spiral more, a fragile kick in my womb halted my thought process. I paused, my hand instinctively covering my belly as the other kick followed shortly.“My pups.”A laugh escaped me.“Oh. Right. I think about you two all the time.”My heart softened.Ever since I got pregnant, every thought somehow returned to my pups. Their health, future, and safety kept me on the edge all the time.Perhaps that wasn't such a terrible reason to be distracted!Feeling slightly better, I adjusted my shawl before pushing open the doors of the meeting hall.My smile froze in a split second.Ever
Kate's P.O.V.The next morning began with chaos.The very first thing Osiris did was send one of his most trusted warriors to retrieve Jenna's antidote from the neighboring pack's laboratory. After her warning, nobody wanted to take any chances.Thankfully, the medicine returned before noon.Jenna inspected every bottle personally and confirmed that the antidote was the same. Only then did the knot in my chest loosen.Unfortunately, the medicine solved one problem and created another, arousing my curiosity. I wanted to know everything about Jenna Fernandez.As the Wild Prowlers Pack was the previous capital of the werewolf kingdom, we took help from the ancient record room and started searching. Bella and I ended up buried under piles of files in the living room.“Jenna attended Blue Moon Medical College. There must be some files regarding it.”Bella gave me a sympathetic look.“You and your obsession, Kate. How can we find such an old record?”“Keep searching,” I encouraged her. “We
Kate’s P.O.V. Gina’s words stayed with me long after she left. It was so strange! How could a single conversation tilt your whole perspective? According to Gina, every relationship had rules, patterns, and rhythm. And if you learned that rhythm, things would flow smoothly. However, I wasn’t c
Kate’s P.O.V. Well, a lot of things were still waiting for me after dinner! The moment Lauren gave me a list of responsibilities long enough to ruin my sanity, a realization hit me hard. “I will not get a chance to sleep tonight.” So, I stayed up, planning breakfast, arranging schedules, and mo
Kate’s P.O.V. I gathered some books about Osiris’s pack traditions from the library and spent the rest of the day studying them. Even a line felt like a rule, a boundary that was non-negotiable. I turned the pages slowly, a headache blooming behind my eyes. “This is… insane.” In my previous pa
Kate’s P.O.V. My heart stuttered like it forgot how to breathe properly. Luna Kate Kessler! That name kicked out everything else from my mind, wrapping something soft and dangerous around me. Warmth spread through my chest before I could stop it. And I hated that! No matter how angry I was
