Katherine PovThere was slow piano music from a distance, everyone was on their feet. The only thing I had to do was walk the isle, in rhythm to the music and that was where I had a problem Unlike a wedding, I had to walk the aisle alone. Tears stung my eyes as I stared at the enclosed door from a distance. I stood at the entrance of the grand hall, a few steps away from the big brown door that would reveal me to the pack, feeling like I was reliving a really bad day – my wedding. The Luna ceremony was supposed to be a happy moment for werewolves, but all I could think about was the betrayal and horror from before.Memories hit me hard – my almost-husband turning out to be evil, killing the royal family, and even my dad right in front of me. I was scared that history would repeat itself, with a sword at my neck if I stepped forward.I looked good in my ceremonial dress, but it didn't feel right. I wanted to run away, but my feet wouldn't listen. The fear of what might happen if I

Katherine Pov"Take the children to the safe room, along with the elders," Jade shouted to no one in particular, but everyone knew what he was talking about and did as he had instructed.Everyone else but me. It had to happen on the day where I was made Luna. The day that was supposed to be special to me."Katherine , follow them," Jade gave me a stink eye when he saw I was not moving along with others.I only just got here. I needed to find Lily"What, why?" I frowned and he sighed."You are in no shape to be here, you have to go," he instructed but my mind was already made up."I just swore to protect–""We were clear about this ceremony. You have not attained the full position as Luna, only its title," Jade stated out. The cathedral was already almost empty. Only the stronger members of our pack remained to fight back. The vampires were trying to break down the door from the other side and Jade was still standing against me staying to fight."Katherine , for once listen to Jade,

Katherine PovA search party had been going on the rest of the day. The total number of people that died during the battle were five, but multiple injured. Those five were members of a family and a burial ceremony was to be held the next day. Just when I believed things would go well at my Luna ceremony, we got attacked by vampires who were after me. Alone in the dim room, the Luna dress on my body felt too heavy. Instead of celebrating my coronation, I was haunted by the nightmare that happened. Vampires attacked, hurting my pack, and even Jude, was in the hospital, unconscious and fighting for his life. Guilt ate at me, making me question every choice I made.I regretted believing things would be easy after getting a second chance from the moon goddess. That second chance felt like a joke as my pack suffered.I wondered why the vampires targeted us. Was it because they knew about my second chance? Or maybe even worse…Did Casto know something?I was frustrated and blamed myself as

Katherine PovThe heart rate monitor continued to beep, causing an eerie sensation in the back of my mind. Watching Jude’s unconscious body lie on the hospital bed broke my heart with every second. Jade had wanted me to stay indoors, where he believed was safe but my thoughts would not deviate from how Jude was doing so far. The doctors say he is supposed to be awake by now but refuses to respond to the treatments. I couldn’t help but wonder if I was the cause of this too. In the softly lit hospital room, I found myself by Jude's side, my eyes fixed on his motionless figure lying on the bed. The antiseptic scent of the medical facility surrounded me, a constant reminder of the chaos that unfolded during the ambush on our pack. The machines hummed quietly, underscoring the fragility of Jude's condition.As I watched him, my mind swirled with guilt, each heartbeat resonating with the weight of responsibility. The bandages wrapped around his wounds told a tale of the fierce battle he e

Katherine PovMy senses stirred as a tender touch danced through my hair, coaxing me from the clutches of sleep. Startled, I jolted upright, and my eyes widened in the dim light. There he was, Jude, with a warm smile playing on his lips. A rush of emotions swirled within me, and tears stung my eyes, mirroring the depth of his feelings."Katherine-" he began, his voice laden with unspoken words. But I couldn't wait; the surge of emotion overwhelmed me. I lunged towards him, my arms wrapping around him in an instinctive embrace. The solace of his presence enveloped me as I buried my face into the crook of his shoulder, muffling the sobs that welled up within me. The world outside blurred, leaving only the raw and unfiltered exchange of emotions between us. His fingers traced the contours of my hair, awakening me from the embrace of sleep. Startled, I sat up, eyes widening to find Jude smiling down at me. Tears welled up as our gazes met, and before he could finish speaking, I launched
