Kate –
“Did you
hear? Monica and Alpha Sebastian may be getting back together?”
“What? But I like Luna Kate!”
“Shhh, the luna is here.”
Kate heard the two nurses talking to each other just as she arrived at Gonzalos’ new office in the hospital. The gossip that
Monica created had spread. It became clear to Kate that Monica intended to let everyone know. It completely ruined her mood
when she arrived at the hospital to check on Gonzalo.
“Everything okay?” Gonzalo asked.
“You know, Kate. I thought you were in the right place here, but it seemed I was wrong,” Morgan commented. She narrowed her
eyes at the nurses talking outside Gonzalo’s office. “Show me this Monica person.”
“I’ll take care of it, Morgan,” Kate said.
“No!” Morgan raised her voice. “I insist!”
Kate knew Morgan cared for her like a mother. She delivered her and had a hand in raising her. Thus, the half-witch would never
let such an issue rest.
Gonzalo chuckled. His handsome face brightened at the situation between Kate and Morgan. He turned to Kate and put his hand
on her shoulder, saying, “You can’t say no to Mama Morgan, Princess.”
“I guess not,” Kate said before shrugging.
During their conversation, the door remained ajar, and from where Kate was standing, she could have sworn she caught the faint
sound of camera shutters.
She looked behind her but found no one. She winced but still went on with that day.
In the evening, Kate took Morgan to meet Monica at the packhouse. Gabriel was away at that time, and Kate did not know why.
Only Zev was there during dinner. Nonetheless, it was the perfect opportunity to be in Monica’s presence.
In front of the round table, there was an awkward silence. Eventually, Kate spoke, “Monica, how have you been? How have you
been coping with your situation? This is Morgan. She is Taplean’s finest healer. She could help you recover faster through
meditation treatment.”

“Let me take a look at you, Child, and see through your inner soul, heal you from within, Morgan offered. She gave off that kind
of smile that scared young children away. She was always like that. Only Kate knew how formidable Morgan was. Morgan was
the most powerful witch in Taplean.
“Morgan will be staying in the packhouse tonight,” Kate revealed. “Tonight would be the perfect opportunity to let Morgan assess
you.”
Kate saw the hesitation in Monica’s eyes. In fact, there might have been fear in the way she stared back at them.
“I’m feeling much better. Thank you, Luna. Thank you, Morgan. After getting justice, I don’t feel as depressed anymore, Monica
responded belatedly. The entire time, she was evasive, not looking Kate in the eye, as if guilty of something.
Monica turned to Zev and asked, “Zev, I’d like to have a fresh bath. Sebastian said that I could go to the underground spring.
Remember the cave? Can you take me there?”
Hearing that, Kate stiffened. Zev looked at Kate, but before she could react, he said to Monica, “Alpha prohibited anyone from
using the spring. It is only for Luna and Alpha
to use.
Monica’s eyes widened. She reacted, “No, Sebastian said I could use it.” She asked Kate, “Will you be mad, Luna Kate? Surely,
you are not jealous over an underground spring?”
Her voice carried enough volume for the other maids in the kitchen to catch her words, painting Kate as a bitter wife.
“It’s not that I am jealous,” Kate responded. “If the Alpha wishes to use it only for private purposes, then it can only be that.”
Kate looked at Zev, and he linked, ‘Yes, Luna. The alpha did leave instructions not to let Monica into the underground spring.
Somehow, that relieved Kate. It meant Sebastian was sensitive enough to know that the cave’s significance to Monica hurt her.
“Okay, fine. Then, can you take me to my old house? I’d like to see the progress of its repair,” Monica requested.
“Sure,” Zev said.
When Monica left with Zey, Morgan insisted on seeing Monica’s room at the
packhouse. The second they entered the room, Morgan sniffed the hell out of the place. She said, “She isn’t a witch, but she had
used some kind of potion.”
“Potion?” Kate repeated with a brow raised.

There is minimal residue left, but I could smell the variation of poppy flowers,” Morgan remarked after focusing on the sofa
beside the bed.
“Poppy flowers?” Kate echoed. “Isn’t that used for sedation?”
They tried to search around the room but found no potion container whatsoever, only
Morgan insisted it somewhat smelled of a soothing potion.
“Could she have used it for her medication?” Kate asked.
“It’s possible, but I’ll stick around and wait for your husband. I won’t leave until I know you are fine here, Kate, Morgan pressed.
The following day, Kate arrived at the packhouse kitchen relatively early. From the dining area, she heard Monica talking to the
housekeepers. She said, “It’s true, Alpha Sebastian and I are getting back together, and soon, Kate will lose her position, but we
are holding back until he is crowned king. After Sebastian takes the crown, he will reject
Kate.”
Hearing it personally, Kate’s blood boiled in anger. She kicked the kitchen door open and yelled, “That’s it, Monica. I have had
enough!”
Everyone was startled, including the maids. Kate stood before Monica and warned, “I have been patient with you for a long time
now, but you have managed to cross the line!”
“I-I don’t know what you are talking about, Luna Kate,” Monica said with fearful eyes. She gazed at the maids and begged, “Help
me. She is going to kill me!”
“What? Kate thought. This woman is nuts!”
“Leave!” Kate ordered the maids, and when she was alone with Monica, she warned, “I will give you twenty-four hours to leave,
or I will throw you out of the pack myself!”
“Sebastian would not do that!” Monica retorted.
“If your words were true and Sebastian is only after the crown, he would do exactly as I say!” Kate said, raising her voice. “I am
Kate Stone, the daughter of Alpha Kieran Stone! I will not take bulls hit from anyone!”
“I was being patient with you because of your trauma because Gabriel asked me to, and because you belong to Sebastian’s
pack, but enough is enough!” Kate said, her eyes. glowed in anger. “I, Luna of the Wind Walker Pack, command you to leave the
pack!”
“Ahhh!” Monica burst into tears. She ran in the door’s direction but bumped into Kate while doing so. While keeping her stance,

tighter than it should that her fingernails dug into her flesh.
Another scream left Monica’s lips. She grabbed Kate’s hair, holding down her side comb. Kate did not know if it was intentional,
but she ran out the door afterward. Monica’s so bs echoed across the packhouse, alerting all the maids, the warriors on guard,
and Zev.
‘Luna? Something bad has happened, Zev mind linked with Kate at dawn, forcing her awake.
“What is it?” Kate asked.
Monica was found in the woods, badly beaten. She was attacked with several scratches and bruises on her body. She told the
warriors that you attacked her, Zev revealed. ‘She was holding on to your sidecomb
Kate jerked up. She said, “No, she did not! Zev, believe me, this has her written all over it! Monica planned this when we had an
encounter in the morning! No wonder she took my sidecomb!”
“Either way, Luna, we need to deal with it. Please come to the hospital, Zev asked.
up at
It took only half an hour for Kate to arrive at the hospital. When she turned Monica’s room, people were crowding outside. Kate
could see the questions on their faces, but they dared not ask her.
Kate entered the room and saw two warriors watching over Monica. Gonzalo gave her a dose of the healing potion, and Zev was
also present.
Seeing her, Monica screamed, “Arrest her! Arrest the Luna! She attacked me!”
“What is going on?!!” Suddenly, a loud and authoritative tone echoed in the room. That distinct deep, earthy musk and autumn
leaves scent hit Kate’s nostrils.
Kate’s head snapped to the door and saw Sebastian standing there, seething.
“Sebastian,” Kate called.
“Sebastian! Luna Kate is horrible! She was so jealous of me that she attacked me!” Monica screamed at the top of her lungs, her
face flooding with tears. She pointed at Kate and said, “Check her fingernails! She wounded me!”
Kate’s heart ski pped a beat. She suddenly remembered how her fingers had dug into Monica’s arm the other day. She cussed,
“F uck. This woman is a b itch!”
