Christopher. Willow's warning to the pack members hit home, and I knew why her wolf would put it out there. It is important that she makes her move before Apate does. I could see clearly now that it was a game. Sowing in the hearts of the pack members that they were attacked because of a witch was a bit extreme, and it would leave room for people to be suspicious of me. "Some people are no longer among us," Willow continued. I had to link her immediately because I was yet to educate my officers on what was happening. "Please wait," I told her, but she ignored me. "There are two things," She continued. "They have either joined these corrupted groups or abandoned this pack. Their names would be listed. You should not maintain a connection to them or allow them to corrupt you. My husband and father will protect you as long as you remain loyal to the moon goddess and no one else. Am I clear!" she said with so much authority that resonated in the air. I felt the pressure, but I held

Willow."You have cheated, Selene," Apate said through Rachel's lips, and I Let Raya take over."Willow is my Champion Apate, are all these zombies your champions?" I asked her, and she laughed."Death is searching for you, you know. Stealing a damned soul is a crime. Your time is up, Selene. These clowns can't beat me. I have the hearts of kings and support beyond what you can imagine. Just like the first time, you will fall. These clowns cannot beat me. They can't even guard their hearts against me. I will turn them against themselves and destroy your team from within," She said, and I could only imagine why she was so bold about it."You will pay for your crimes, Apate. I know Irvin is your son. You are disgusting." I said, and she laughed."When you did it, it was okay. I do it, and it is disgusting," She said, and I flared up. Selene had taken over completely."I did it from love. I was in love, and I had a child from that love, but you just want power, and you used that man. You

Christopher King Edward looked in the direction of where the protesting voice came from and was a bit angry. "I agree," Another man said, standing up. "We get you are fond of Alpha Christopher, but naming his wife your heir so you can make him King is wrong, Your Majesty," he said, and everyone began to complain. I wondered if Apate was ruling their hearts. Though afraid of the King, they still found the nerve to speak out. "Enough!" King Edward said, sounding livid, but he was actually happy. I could feel King Aaron's giddiness. He just wanted to shut them up. "What nonsense is this?" he asked. "We do not want you to be angry, your majesty. We just want you to explain how Willow Walker is related to you and why we should allow her to succeed you when you're gone," a bear elder asked the King respectfully. Edward looked at his daughter and then looked at them. "I was fated to a werewolf by the name Leah Brooks, Alpha Devin Brook's sister, and before I exiled her, she was pregna

Christopher The alphas were worried, and I could see fear written on their faces. While the werewolf alphas were a bit composed, the bears did not fare well. I saw Miles' face, and he looked like he had seen a ghost. Honestly, I would have been the same if Willow hadn't eased me into it gradually. But I was too close to the action to be taken by surprise. "Do you have any questions?" I asked them, knowing Willow wasn't in the mood for a question-and-answer session. They were silent for a bit, and several raised their hands. I chose a bear alpha to start. "How do you have this information, your Highness, and how accurate is your source?" He asked, and Willow laughed. "Have you fought those things?" she asked, and he was silent. "Well, we did. Three times. They can't be killed unless you sever their heads from their bodies. In the last attack, we were able to capture one, who was a former member of our pack. She had not deflected for up to twenty-four hours when they sent her

~Willow~ Doctor Melvin finally arrived, and I was eager for the procedure. Christopher wasn't enthusiastic about it. I could feel his sadness. I understood his pain. If we had what we wanted, it wouldn't have had to result in this. It would have been nice to experience what being a mother would be like with him. Birth our children and raise them together, but life did not afford me that luxury, so I had to make do with the situation. I had lied to Leeana that I could not carry children, and she obliged to help; I guess when I was gone, she would understand the real reason behind my request. Christopher escorted me to the hospital, and we met with Doctor Melvin at the reception. The man stood up and paid his respects. He did not greet us as his Alpha and Luna but as royalty. I looked at the man, and I smiled at him. He gave me the opportunity I needed to save Luis and Christopher's life. I was grateful for his trust. "Are you sure you want to do this, your highness?" He asked m
