Lux pov. As I got to know that Catherine was still alive, my heart filled with relief. She was still breathing, her soul residing within the body of the Shadow Moon Pack's princess. With a sense of urgency, I paced around my room, knowing that I needed to see her as soon as possible. As I stepped outside, the world seemed to come alive around me. The sun was shining, and the leaves on the trees rustled in the gentle breeze. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, and the sound of birds singing added to the symphony of nature. I walked over to my son, his laughter filling the air as he played with his toys. I placed a tender kiss on his forehead, my hand never leaving his hair. "Guess what, son?" I smiled, feeling his small hand wrap around my finger. "We're going to pay a visit to your mother." It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and my heart felt lighter than it had in months. I knew that seeing Catherine would be like finding a piece
Lora pov. I slammed my hands against my window, the frustration boiling inside me threatening to tear everything apart. As I looked outside, I saw the moon shining bright against the dark sky, illuminating the world with a silver hue. The faint smell of burning leaves from a nearby bonfire wafted into my room, mixing with the fresh scent of rain from earlier. I put my hands in my hair and pulled it away from my eyes, trying to clear my head. "I was so close," I muttered to myself, feeling perplexed and defeated. As I approached my mirror, I noticed my reflection staring back at me, looking disheveled and exhausted. "It's a shame your son is no longer with you, but don't worry, I'll help you finish what you started, Catherine, I will assist in ending your son's life." I laughed out loud as I walked out the door, jumping out the window. It was a liberating feeling, as if I was shedding my skin and leaving my troubles behind. "Oh, how I miss this," I murmured, noticing how pa
Lora pov. I turned around to face them, staring at both of them. Lux stepped forward, and I took in his appearance - tall, with sharp features and piercing grey eyes. "What's going on?" he asked, confusion etched on his face. I let out a laugh and looked up at him. "Nothing, just having a good time." I moved closer to him, and his scent - a mixture of sandalwood and musk - hit me. My lips brushed against his ear, and I whispered. "Don't worry, your wife is still here." He looked stunned, and I walked away, back towards the river. The sound of my footsteps on the gravel echoed in my ears as I reached the water. I gazed at my reflection in the water, taking in the sight of my tousled hair and smudged eyeliner. I couldn't help but smile as I placed my hands on my cheeks. As I sat there, I noticed a presence behind me. I stood up and turned around to see Lux standing there. His eyes searched mine, and he spoke. "What do you mean by that?" I stood up and approached him, feeling his
Lora pov. I sat there, watching as Phillips stood up and placed his hands on the back of his head. I observed him closely, taking in his appearance once again. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline. He had short brown hair that was slightly disheveled and piercing blue eyes that seemed to sparkle in the light. As he stood up, he let out a groan of pain, causing me to furrow my brow in concern. He looked at me, and our eyes met. "What happened?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion. I moved closer to him, examining his head for any signs of injury. I placed my hand on his scalp and felt a small bump, but it seemed to be only a minor cut. "You fell and hit your head," I told him softly. He looked around, trying to orient himself. "How about you? Are you all right?" he asked, his eyes searching mine. I nodded and smiled, trying to reassure him that everything was okay. But inside, I was seething with anger. I knew what I had to do, even if it meant hurting t
Lora pov. I walk slowly with the child in my hands, tears streaming down its face. The weight of the baby feels heavy in my arms as I try not to look down, but the cries of the child are hard to ignore. We make our way to the altar that's already set up in the woods. The scent of damp earth and pine needles fill the air as I place the child down, preparing it for the sacrifice. I feel his presence around me, knowing he's come to complete the ritual. I turn to face him, looking up at his face as he stares down at me. "Good Lora, good," he says, his voice smooth and deep. My gaze stays fixed on his face, transfixed by his dark eyes. "If the child is dead, you'll be able to return, right?" I ask him, my heart racing as I search his face for a hint of what's to come. "I will, and you will be in your body in peace for the rest of my life," he replies, his words soothing and reassuring. I turn back to the child, smiling sadly as I realize what I have to do. "I'm sorry, but you're my t
Catherine pov. As I opened my eyes, the blurry image of myself lying on the ground came into focus. I slowly stood up and squinted my eyes to adjust to the bright sunlight. Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a little child crying and recognized him as Andrew."Andrew," I exclaimed as I hurried over to pick him up. His cries ceased as soon as he saw me, and I held him tightly, closing my eyes to take in the warmth of the moment."I'm so sorry," I whispered softly, and suddenly, a distant yell interrupted our peaceful moment."Lora!"My head turned sharply to the source of the noise, and I saw Lux staring at me with an intense glare. I felt a shiver run down my spine, seeing his anger radiating from his eyes. I took a step back, feeling uncertain about what to do next."Return my son to me," he demanded in a deep, stern voice.Quickly putting Andrew down, I scooped him up again as soon as he started crying, soothing him until he giggled and calmed down. Lux started approaching
Catherine pov. "Is Zuku your brother?" I yelled, standing up and approaching Lux who was staring at me."How?" I inquired, perplexed by the situation.He looked at me for a split second without saying anything. I waited, trying to figure out who Zuku was and why he was attempting to murder my son.Lux walked over to the bed and sat down, looking up at me. I could tell he was confused about everything, but I needed him to answer my question."Explain to me, Lux, how is Zuku related to you and why did he want to kill my son?"I sat close to Lux, holding his hands and patiently waiting for him to answer my question."Please respond, Lux, who is Zuku?"He clutched my hands tightly, as if he were afraid to say something he would later regret."Zuku was my twin brother," he continued to say quietly. "After the death of our mother, Zuku had always dreamed of becoming the Alpha. I was strong and wise, but Zuku was always rude and evil. My father, being a peaceful man, never wanted to leave th
Catherine pov. It has been a week since Lux left, and I've been doing everything I can to get everything back to normal. I walk around town, smiling, noticing how healthy everyone has become. Most of the time when I walk, I hear people whispering that I am possessed. That most of the time I will act good, and other times I will act like a jerk.I didn't mind listening because I knew they were correct. As I transformed into my wolf, I ran into the woods. The tall trees with leaves of green, gold, and crimson rustled in the wind. The sweet scent of pine filled my nose as I took deep breaths. I felt the rough bark of the trees under my fingertips as I ran deeper and deeper, away from people, feeling more relaxed with each step.After running a long distance, I reverted to my human form and sat on the ground, my fingers intertwined as I took a moment to catch my breath. I looked around, and everything was quiet and peaceful. I sat by a branch tree and watched the birds fly gracefully thro
