Cathania had returned to her pack, scared that she would be found out. Her father had asked her how Alpha Sylvester was and the plans they were making about their marriage and she had given him vague answers and asked to be alone. Her father who had spoiled her silly, left the room so she could have her privacy.When she did not hear anything connecting her to the condition of Millicent, and her informant in the Moon Ville Pack gave her news that gratified her her heart, she felt easier.'It is not possible that Millicent will survive, the doctor said so himself', the informant told her. ' He's sure she is on her death bed. He is just treating her to save his own skin from the wrath of both Alphas and make them happy'.After the news she just heard, she rested assured that Millicent would take the knowledge of her murderer to her grave. But when she did not hear from Alpha Sylvester, she decided to come visit.'Alpha, you are a marvel. You have not been in contact with the woman you a

When we got home, I realised that Samantha had actually gone home, not just to do the laundry and have a change of clothes but to clean up my room, so that it would smell fresh and look welcoming when I got home. There were flowers everywhere, most of them, Sundrops, lilies and roses.'Samantha, thanks so much for this', I smiled at her.'Alpha Sylvester made this possible. We got these flowers from his garden', Samantha whispered to me. 'Really?' I whispered, shocked. Was this not the same garden he didn't want anyone entering? My close shove with death must have made him feel very guilty especially since it was his love that brought it on and he just wanted to relieve his conscience.'Yes', Samantha was saying. 'Alpha Christopher asked that we go to the florist and get the best flowers to decorate your room and the entire palace for the special occasion of your homecoming but Alpha Sylvester forestalled and asked us to take them from his garden and make sure we make the whole place

Samantha led me back into my room afterwards.Both Sylvester and Christopher had volunteered but I didn't want them starting a war over me. Not this night anyway. So I told them I'd rather Samantha led me back since I had a lot to discuss with her.I had wanted to talk to Samantha about her husband but immediately I got in and she helped me take off my dress, giving me my pills and a glass of water with which I swallowed them, I fell flat on my bed and slept. I woke in the early hours of the morning, and found that Samantha was lying on the couch. I sprang to my feet but had to lye back again, holding my head. I had a headache and the sudden movement had made me feel it keenly for a moment.'What is it?' Samantha asked, coming to the bed to hold me and feel my temperature. I did not know she had woken. My sudden movement must have alerted her to my wakefulness. She had always been a light sleeper.'Nothing. Just a slight pain in the head brought on by my sudden movement!' I explained

Alpha Sylvester informed us, a couple of days later, that he had it on good authority that Cathania was coming to visit and that he was going to get the confession from her if she was indeed responsible for poisoning me. We were to stay in another room. A bug and a camera were planted in the room where Alpha Sylvester would be with her and we would hear everything she said, and see all her reaction.She breezed in, in her normal Lady - of - the - manor, manner and we gathered in the large room we had prepared for this occasion. Alpha Christopher was there with us as well.'Alpha, you are a marvel. You have not been in contact with the woman you are supposedly engaged with!' she said without preamble when she saw Alpha Sylvester.'Did I invite you?' Alpha Sylvester asked.'Do I need any invitation before I can visit you?' Cathania asked, sounding furious. 'I have spent my years loving you, waiting for the day you'll make me your Luna, and you ask me why I have visited you without being

'You have come to gloat, haven't you?' Cathania said as soon as she saw us approaching her cell. 'Well, you do not need to. State what your punishment is and I'll gladly serve It. I'll have you know that I am not afraid of you nor your punishment!''Keep quiet Cathania', Alpha Sylvester ordered. 'You need to apologise to her for trying to kill her and for speaking to her this way'.I shall do no such thing!' Cathania shrieked. 'It shall be over my dead body to apologise to a maid even if her status has been glorified', she looked condescendingly at me and then, looked with disgust at Sylvester. 'Sylvester', she called, 'you do not cease to marvel me. You are still going round with her, patrolling her as your future Luna when you know she wants another! Ha, ha ha!' she laughed like someone who was insane. ' State your punishment already, mighty Luna and be done with it because I need you out of my sight!''Cathania!' Sylvester thundered.And I touched him lightly on the arm, shaking my
