CATHERINE POVThere, in the bushes, I saw a pair of glowing eyes. A low growl sounded from the darkness, and I took a step back. But then, a small, fluffy head poked out from the bushes. It was a tiny, adorable creature, with large eyes and a pink nose. It looked up at me, and it let out a happy squeak.I let out a sigh of relief. It was just a little forest creature, and I was no longer afraid. I knelt and held out my hand, and the creature crawled into it. I looked at it, and it looked back at me.As I cradled the creature in my hands, I felt a tingle of magic. It was a strange feeling like something was pulling me towards the forest. And then, I heard a voice in my head. It was soft and soothing, and it said, "Welcome to the Valley of Dreams."I looked around, and I saw that everything had changed. The castle was gone, and the forest had been replaced by a lush meadow. In the distance, I could see a sparkling lake, and flowers were blooming everywhere. It was like I had stepped int

I woke up to find myself back in the pack once again. I was filled with a sense of dread, knowing that I would once again have to deal with Philip. I got dressed and headed to the dining room, where I saw him already eating breakfast. He looked up at me with a cold stare, and I knew that I had to tread carefully.As I took my seat at the table, I felt Philip's eyes on me. He was watching me closely as if he was waiting for me to make a mistake. I tried to keep my composure and act naturally, but it was difficult. The tension in the air was palpable. Finally, I decided to break the silence. "Good morning," I said, as I took a sip of my coffee. Philip didn't respond, but I could tell that he heard me. I knew that I had to make conversation, no matter how uncomfortable it might be."How are you doing this morning?" I asked, trying to sound cheerful. Philip still didn't respond. I started to feel a bit frustrated. Was he trying to make me feel uncomfortable on purpose? I decided to try ag

The confusion that followed was without parallel. The morning after the attack, the Crystal Cloud Pack pack was thrown into confusion and despair. Things had been going smoothly in the morning, but that all changed when the guard who had been spaCatherine from the rogue werewolves ran into the packhouse, panting and loving Catherine in blood.The guards who were stationed at the door wouldn't let him in easily, having seen his state. They tried to prevent him, which caused a mild scuffle. He still managed to bully his way into the Packhouse and ran with the guards hot on his trail.He fell at the feet of the Crystal Cloud Pack Alpha, Kevin, who was in the middle of listening to a complaint from one of her pack members.

Philips's POVMy suspicion was confirmed the moment the guard barged into the room to tell me Alpha Kevin had come to see me. I had sensed a familiar Alpha aura before then, but I didn't know how or on whom to place it. I stood from my seat, my face contorted with anger. I stormed out of the room, my heavy footsteps echoing through the passageway. The walls of the passageway were lined with portraits of past Alphas of the Blood Slashing Pack. I didn't spare them a glance as I made my way towards the meeting room.The meeting room was located on the top floor of the Blood Slashing Pack's edifice, a towering building that overlooked the city. I walked towards the elevators located at the end of the passageway, my anger giving me energy as I strode towards the elevator. I pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator doors closed with a soft ding.As the elevator ascended, my mind was filled with thoughts of Alpha Kevin and his visit. I entered the meeting room, the door slamm
