Chapter 1
Katherine:
"Flog her! Lock her up without food and water till she dies." My mate, Zane yelled at his soldiers as I
knelt on the ground pleading and asking myself how on earth Zane had believed everything."
"I swear on our unborn baby''s life, Zane, I didn''t do it. I didn''t kill the Alpha king. They''re all liars,
Zane, believe me. Why don''t you believe me, Zane."

Tears rolled down uncontrobly, and I couldn''t stop it. "Zane!" I yelled again as they picked me up
from the floor. I tried to struggle free from their grip, but I was forced to the floor and I fell with a thud
wincing in pain and hoping the fall had not affected the children growing in me. "Please, believe
me." I cried out in a whimper, staring down the soil and the blood from the sprain on my ankle, and
once again, I was being lifted to face my mate.
"I, Alpha Zane of the blue crest pack, reject you, Katherine Everhart as my mate and future Luna,
ept my rejection!" He yelled back at me. His words were like barbed wires, piercing through
every corner of my nerves, but I knew if I didn''t ept it, I was going to die because I was nothing
more than an omega.
Omega''s we''re the weakest amongst all werewolf ranks. We were considered worthless and the
one thing that we couldn''t do was to reject a rejection.
How on earth could Zane do this to me, how could he believe the words of my foster sister and my
family when he knew how much they despised me?
I stared at his deep blue eyes still raging with so much anger. I understood he was so hurt and
angry at the death of his father, the Alpha king, but it wasn''t me, and I couldn''t prove it because my
family had nned everything too well, even shocking me to my bones. I always knew they never
loved me, especially my foster sister Jane, but I never knew they would all go to this extreme just to
get me out of Zane''s life.
My gaze averted to Jane who was standing behind my mate her arms folded under her breast. She
had a satisfied smirk stered on her face which represented her aplishment to my downfall
and there was nothing I could do to show Zane that I was innocent. I was carrying his children, and
yet he didn''t look me in the eyes, or he didn''t care. I expected even a little bit of pity, but Zane
wasn''t the man I thought I knew anymore.
I sniffled again, holding my stomach to feel our babies, our 7-month-old babies. I could tell they
were also in so much pain like I was, and I wish there was something I could do to save them from
what was about to befall us. They were going to die before their birth, and that was what I feared
most.
"I, Katherine Everhart, ept your rejection." I summoned enough courage and said. My wolf L
howled in pain, trying as much as possible to keep us standing. Thunderstruck in the sky and I
immediately knew that the bond between Zane and I was over.
I was going to die anyway because Zane wouldn''t spare me, but one thing I knew was that I would
never forgive him even in death for betraying me in this manner. The pain felt like a nail was being
pierced through my heart, or like a sizzling fire burning my internal organs without mercy, and slowly
squeezing life out of me.
I tried to fall, but the soldiers held me firm so I wouldn''t, and then I found Jane''s gaze again from my
distance where I was standing
Her eyes told me,
"I warned you bitch, you could have saved yourself and walked away when I gave you a chance,
now take a look at your pitiful self."
"Goddess." I cried out almost in a whimper.
"Take her away immediately," Zane yelled at his men. As I was being dragged away, I told myself I
had to be strong for my babies. No matter what, I had to be strong. I had to bring them into this
world before dying.
"Throw her in." The head soldier ordered after I had been flogged mercilessly. Even though I was
carrying Zane''s children, the future heirs, I was treated like a ve. These children had royal blood
in them. As they threw me into the dungeon, I crawled until I got to the wall and rested on it,ying
my hands on my stomach. I was bleeding from everywhere hoping that all of this would be some
sort of a dream that I would wake up from, but as much as I hated it, everything that happened
earlier felt so real.
My own family! How could they do this to me? My father even consented to their evil ns after
everything he had done to me and myte mother.
He killed my mother and never once cared about me.
3 years ago, my mother fell ill and we needed a lot of money to get her treated for the strange
illness. My father had more than enough of what we needed since he was managing the business
that he and my mother had grown together, but he abandoned her in the hospital and used most of
the money to get married to my stepmom, Lena. I never thought father would leave mother in that
condition until I watched her die on the eve of my birthday.
As if that wasn''t enough, my stepmom and foster sister made life hell for me, and when I finally left
the house, I found my mate, Alpha Zane. Zane showed me the love I thought I would never receive
from anyone after the death of my mother, but when my family found out that I was mated to Alpha
Zane, Jane stepped into the way, iming that Zane was also her mate and that she wanted him.
I thought it was a joke when she asked me to stay away from him, but no…. It wasn''t…. And I was
just realizing it.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain.
It was so sharp that I ended up yelling so loud in pain. I tried to take a deep breath in and out and
told myself to keep calm.
"No! No, please, not now babies….you have to wait a little, please." I cried out because I could feel
my babies wanting toe out of me. I wasn''t strong enough to push them out yet and I was
scared because they would be born prematurely. If that happened, then they would die. No one in
the history of werewolves had ever given birth to their pups prematurely
"Please goddess, don''t let my babies die. Let them live." When the pain became unbearable, I
screamed out in pain, holding my stomach and my waist. Despite the pain I was feeling, I was
willing to hold on to my children. My cries attracted the attention of some of the soldiers and some
of the pack''s midwives arrived just to help me out. As they walked in, I wondered if it was Zane who
called them.
"ce her on the ground properly and get a big bucket of water… she''s going tobor." I heard in
my weak state. After I had been ced on the floor properly, and made to lie down on my back
keeping my two legs apart, I heard one of the nurses say,
"You have to push hard… I''ll count to 3 and you push."
I nodded my head, "One, two, three…"
My screams filled the dungeon as I cried out. "Harder! I can see one." I heard. These words
encouraged me to push even harder until I heard the cries of one, "It''s a boy."
"Oh, goodness!" I was looking at him. "There''s another baby, you have to fight it and push."
I shut my eyes. Seeing my little boy gave me so much strength to push harder so my second baby
woulde out, and after a few minutes, I heard another cry,
"It''s a girl." I heard. That was it… I had no idea where the strength came from, but I did it despite the
pain,
"They are healthy, it''s incredible."
I couldn''t help the tears that rolled down my eyes when I heard those words because I was scared
my babies would die since they were born prematurely. Maybe the moon goddess heard my cries
after all and did something good.
"Take them away, immediately." One of the midwives uttered to my disbelief, and I arched my brows
in fear. "No! What do you mean? Leave my babies alone,e back with my children, please….
Don''t take them away from me, I beg you."
"I''m sorry Luna." She uttered, walking away with them, as I watched them take my children away,
my head fell back on the floor, and I shut my eyes….. sliding into darkness immediately.
