Chapter 4


    ZANE:


    I halted right in front of Lycan King Leo''s Bentley, trying hard not to act too shocked at his presence.


    This was the first time he was gracing us with his presence since the first day I knew someone like


    Alpha King Leo existed. I had no idea why he decided toe for my father''s burial and my


    coronation, but I was more than happy to see him here.


    This would leave a great impact on my pack, one that would certainly make me prosper. I had to be


    on my best behavior and be on his good side as well.


    "Alpha Leo," I called out with respect and outstretched my hand to a handshake. "It''s so surprising


    that you''re here today, what made you have a chance of heart because you clearly stated you


    wouldn''t being."


    "ke." He called out to his beta standing behind him, while I waited patiently until his beta


    returned. "Alpha Zane, right?"


    "Yes, it''s Zane," I responded excitedly. It was even moreforting that he knew my name. "Here,


    it''s a gift from my pack, ept it."


    I froze, staring at the envelope he was holding. I outstretched my hand and collected it immediately.


    "Thank you so much, Alpha."


    "My condolences on the loss of your father, I''m truly sorry."


    "Thank you. Please, let''s go in." If anyone had told me a day like this woulde, I would have


    laughed at their faces, but here I was, standing a few inches from the Lycan king who was feared by


    all other Alphas.


    Since I had not prepared a special seat, I had to think of an idea fast. A seat was prepared in a few


    minutes and Alpha Leo took his seat. As soon as the coronation started, I rose to my feet and


    began to walk towards the podium with Jane by my side.


    She took a few steps backward, wanting me to first of all address the people.


    "It''s so wonderful to have you all here. After the death of my father, the Alpha king, it''s only right that


    I take next in line as Alpha of the Blue Crest pack, so thank you for your support to myte father." I


    turned around to stare at Jane, and nodded my head for her to step forward,


    "3 days ago, after the ordeal with my past mate, I present to you your new Luna. I made a huge


    mistake in the past which cost me the life of my father, thete Alpha and because of that, I''m never


    going to forgive myself for picking a wolf in sheep''s clothing as my mate."


    I held Jane''s hands as I spoke, trying as hard as possible not to get so emotional. I stepped down


    from the podium still holding Jane''s hand, and together, we walked back to our seats. My gaze


    averted to Alpha Leo, and I saw him staring at me coldly, but I took my gaze away from his almost


    immediately and took my seat.


    It wasn''t long when I turned around to stare at where he was seated, but he was gone, and his


    sudden disappearance made me arch my brows as I wondered where he had suddenly


    disappeared.

    KATHERINE:


    A bright light shone into the dungeon I was in, and I opened my eyes, fluttering my brows a few


    times so I could see clearly. I could hear nothing other than the loud sounds of water dripping from


    the rocks, and down to the floor very close to me. I had gotten so used to the sound to a level that I


    found peace most of the time when I listened to the rhythm it created.


    As usual, I kept pondering about everything that had happened. It''s been 4 days here without food


    and water and sometimes I ask myself why or how I was still alive. I knew I was slowly losing my


    strength, and soon, I would have no strength left in me to even cry whenever I remembered that my


    children were gone and that the people who had used me wrongly were out there living their


    lives to the fullest while I get to stay here and rot. I had not even the slightest hope left in me to


    believe that a miracle would happen to me.


    I was lying down on the floor, but then something made me move my hand a bit. When I raised my


    hand, I noticed something, my hands were free from the chains that were attached to the wall. In


    that instant, I lifted my second hand and saw the same thing. I didn''t understand anything, but when


    I lifted my legs, they weren''t chained.


    I thought it was a dream, no it would be a dream because I was free.


    I had not even thought of looking at the gate, but when I did, I noticed that the locks were open. I


    had no idea if someone hade to free me when I was asleep, but whoever had done this wanted


    me to escape.


    Without wasting any more time, I weakly rose to my feet and stepped out of the dungeon expecting


    to see Zane''s soldiers, but the surroundings were empty. No one was around. There was no time to


    start asking myself multiple questions so I continued walking till I got out of the dungeonpletely.


    It felt like the mansion was so empty, but that was my only opportunity.


    Even the gates were opened wide enough for me to pass through.


    As I walked out of the mansionpletely, I felt free. The freedom I had desired so desperately for


    days finally arrived, and so I had to take this opportunity and run for my life. It wasn''t time to


    celebrate yet until I finally got the hell out of the Blue Crest pack for good.


    The best path to take was the forest because if any of Zane''s men found out that I was missing,


    then they woulde for me.


    After about an hour of endless running, I heard a deep voice from the forest say,


    "Scatter around, we have to find her immediately, or else we''re all dead."


    My heart thumped so hard realizing that they might catch up to me anytime. If they do, then this


    time, I would die because Zane would never let me live for trying to escape.


    I didn''t want to go back there. With thest strength I had left in me, I continued to run, heading


    towards any direction that my heart led me to. I would fall now and then, but pick myself up and


    continue running.


    Their voices were gaining closer to me, and since it was night, I could see lights around the


    forest…. Since I had no idea where I was heading, I tripped and whimpered aloud in so much pain.


    The forest suddenly grew silent for a few seconds and it was probably because they had heard the


    echoes of my cries, but then I immediately rose to my feet the moment I realized this, and hastened


    my pain,


    All of a sudden, I felt a strong arm grab me from nowhere and pull me into a corner in the forest. My


    eyes were shut, and I couldn''t even scream because the person had my mouth covered with his


    palm to prevent me from screaming. Something told me deep down that it would probably be the


    person who had set me free, but I refused to believe it because no outsiders knew the way to the


    dungeon.


    When their voices were far gone, I raised my head properly to stare at who had just saved me


    He was tall, well built with sharp green eyes and long hairs that rested on his back. I had no idea


    who he was but, whoever he was, I was deeply grateful because he saved me. My body felt so


    weak in his, and just before I passed out in his arms, I heard him call me,


    "MATE."
