Catherine pov. "I've been in my room for what feels like a day," I thought, my eyes tracing the lines on the wall. After what happened with me and Phillips, I didn't feel like even seeing his face.Just then, another knock interrupted me, and I stood up, slowly opening the door. My eyes scanned the figure standing before me, taking in his concerned expression, the way his black hair fell into his eyes."I notice him staring at me with pity as he bows and speaks," I mused, my nose picking up on the faint scent of his cologne. "Princess Lora, it's almost time for dinner. The Alpha of the Black Moon Pack has called for both of us, so I decide to call you myself," he said in a formal tone, his voice carrying a hint of reluctance.I nodded, telling him I would be out in a second because I had something to do. He bowed and didn't look at my face as he left, and I felt a pang of sadness in my chest. Have I gone too far? I questioned myself as I walked over to the mirror and stared at myself,
Catherine pov. I walk around the castle, searching for my son. My head spins with the stress of finding him all night. The sight of the dimly lit corridors and the smell of the musty air fills my senses. The sound of my footsteps echoes off the walls as I search every corner.With only eight hours left before I return to the Shadow Moon Pack, I ask every servant, but their answers are not what I expected. I wonder what Lux will do when he finds out that his son is missing.I make my way to Lux's room, wondering what could have caused him to be in such a state. I wait until the doctor leaves and quickly rush to meet him. "Doctor!" I yell, stopping him in his tracks. "Please, what happened?"He looks at me with confusion, and I ask again, "What happened, doctor?" He turns to me, pulls away his glasses, and stares straight at me. "You must be Lora, Princess of the Shadow Moon Pack, right? Well, the Alpha is in critical condition, and I think he was poisoned."I feel shocked at hearing th
Catherine pov. I watched in disbelief as I saw Phillips standing there with Mora. "Why was Phillips with Mora?" I questioned myself, staring at them both. Sight of the two of them together made my blood boil. I calmed myself down and moved closer, leaning in to hear their conversation. The smell of their betrayal lingered in the air, mixing with the scent of fear and desperation. "So how was the plan?" I heard Mora ask Phillips, her voice dripping with malice. Watching them closely, Phillips turned to her with a smile, his eyes fixed on hers. "Everything is working exactly as planned," he replied. "I have poisoned the Alpha and kidnapped your son for you, but I hope the poison will not make him last for two days, right?" The sound of his words made my blood run cold. Phillips was the one behind my son's kidnapping and the Alpha's poisoning. But why did he say he did it for Mora? I listened to them both, desperate for answers. "Trust me, boy," Mora said with a smirk. "Soon when t
Catherine pov. I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. "Today, I will have to use my blood and save Lux," I thought. If I was put inside this body for a reason, then the blood should also change to mine. I stood up and walked close to the window, looking out and seeing how every servant was busy working. The sun was shining brightly, and the birds were chirping. I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, washing my face. This was my life, the life chosen by the goddess. I thought about how happy my father must have been to hear about my death; he had never liked me, so I don't think my death must have been painful in any way. As I walked out of the room, I started heading towards Lux's room, but just as I walked past Phillips' room, I stopped. I walked closer to it and opened it, seeing that it was empty. I know I must have hurt him badly, but he truly deserved it. Just as I got to Lux's room, the Two Beta stood there, blocking my path. "Let me in," I said. I
Catherine pov.As he slept, I smiled, seeing how peaceful he was. The sight of him brought me joy, his chest rising and falling with each breath. I inhaled his scent, a mix of sweat and soap, and felt the warmth of his body radiating off him. It was as if he was a sleeping angel, and I was happy that my blood had cursed him, and I knew I would give him a lot of answers when he wakes up.I stayed with him, not even bothering to take my bath yet. I placed my head on his chest, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his breathing. The sound of his heartbeat was comforting, like a lullaby, and I smiled as I drifted off to sleep.When I woke up, I noticed he wasn't there anymore, and I looked around to search for him. Confusion washed over me as I wondered where he must have gone. I scanned the room, taking in the sight of the disheveled sheets and the empty space beside me.I decided to go back to my room, but as I walked, I heard a song coming from the kitchen side. The melody was sweet, and
Lux pov. I pulled Catherine close to me, and her sweet scent filled my senses. As I kissed her passionately, I couldn't believe that she was still alive. Her soft hair brushed against my fingertips as I brushed it out of her face, and my heart swelled with emotion."Please never leave me," I pleaded, tears streaming down my face, as I looked into her beautiful eyes.After finishing cooking, I carefully placed the delicious food on two plates and led Catherine to the dining room. "Lunch is served," I announced, unable to take my eyes off of her.As Catherine looked up at me, I felt a warm sensation spread through me as I gently placed my hands on her, savoring her presence. "You look lovely," I whispered, but her unexpected response caught me off guard."You only say I'm beautiful because this isn't my real body; you've never loved me, Lux, so why risk your heart?" Catherine's words stung, and I realized how much I had hurt her."Do you now have powers?" I asked, hoping to understand w
Catherine pov. The next day, I woke up to the sun shining on my face. I turned around and placed my hands on the bed, but it was empty."Good morning, love," he said, and I opened my eyes to see him with a tray of food in front of me."Are you hungry?" he asked. I smiled and took the food from his hands.I stood up and walked into the bathroom. Turning on the shower, I felt the water drain down onto my body. It was a refreshing feeling, and I savored every moment.I walked out of the bathroom, feeling energized and refreshed. Looking around the room, I searched for ideas on what to do next. If I were to save my son, I knew I would need to speak with Mora.Lux had asked me to leave everything to him, but I couldn't sit idly by while that girl took my child and claimed it as her own. As I looked around, I saw that Lux was in the middle of a meeting. It was the perfect opportunity to take action.I left the castle and went straight to the Lycan clan. I knew that Mora didn't know who I wa
Catherine pov. With a sinister smile, I watched as Mora's expression turned from fear to shock as she realized I was still alive. I wanted her to know that this time, I wouldn't be so easy to defeat."It's not true, Catherine is dead; I killed her," she yelled, her words punctuated by a sudden intake of breath."You murdered me, and I thought you were my best friend." I said, my voice low and cold.As I spoke, I took in the scene around me. The air was thick with the smell of freshly cut grass, and the sound of rustling leaves filled my ears. I could feel the rough ground beneath me as I fell to the ground, my hands clutching my head in pain.When I looked up, I saw Max holding a stick, and I felt a surge of anger wash over me. "Why?" I asked Mora, my eyes fixed on hers.She turned around and came closer to me, her chuckles filling the air. "It's a shame you've had to return to another body, and you still don't realize how powerful you are," she said. "You're wondering why I killed yo
