Chapter 3
KATHERINE:
I woke up to so much pain around my vagina. I couldn't tell the exact place I was feeling the pain because it was everywhere. The sudden reminder that I had given birth crossed my mind and I began to sob.
I tried to free myself but found out that I had been chained to the walls and I couldn't move an inch. The only thing I could do was to cry and cry my eyes out because I lost everything all in one night. I was innocent, but no one would believe me, not even Zane who claimed to love me with all his heart.
I hated everything…. Hated my life…. Hated the moon goddess, hated who I was. The least she could have done for me was to let my children live and grow to hate their father.
As I continued to sob aloud thinking whether my children would have been dead or not, my heart thumped so hard when I heard Jane's voice.
"Open the gate, I wanna see the filthy prisoner." She commanded the soldier who was standing at the entrance of my dungeon. As I watched Jane step in, my eyes turned red with rage especially because she still had the evil smirk attached to her face.
"How could you do this to me, Jane, I never hurt you. I never betrayed any of you, so why?."
"Because you refused to give me what was yours." She responded almost immediately.
Jane was standing a few inches away from me, but I wanted her to come closer so I could grab her legs and scratch her face with my claws. All I wanted right now was to die because my reasons for living were gone already… my precious babies.
"Did you like my surprise? Father had it all planned pretty well, and mother, "she laughed out loud, "Well mother knew how to get you out of the house just in time to get the job done."
Jane squatted so she could see my face clearly and laughed at me even more, "I killed him. I killed the Alpha king, and I watched him beg and struggle for his life. I watched him curse me as he took his last breath. Why? Because he trusted me more than you and he wanted me for his son."
"You're a monster, you're an evil monster, Jane!" I yelled, but she smiled, "Oh, that's not all dear sister, those pictures of you in bed with a man, it was all me. I planned everything."
"What did I do to you, Jane."
She held my chin with force, making me look into her eyes, "You should have known your place and given Zane up when I had asked you nicely, but you chose to stick with him because you loved him, and now, you're getting what you deserve."
"Zane was mine from the onset, bear it in mind that you found him for me. You were never meant to have anything good."
She rose to her feet and took two steps away from me, folding her arms so she could have a proper look at my miserable state, then she scoffed out loud, Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"It's such a miracle you could still push those bastards out, and even gave birth to them healthy at 7 months, Katherine, but I own the luck, and not you. Your precious babies should be 7 feet down the ocean by now or more."
Hearing those words nearly drove me insane, "they were dead!"
"My children were innocent, Jane, they had absolutely nothing to do with all of this. The least you could have done was to spare their lives and take mine instead, how could you? How could you do
this? How could you kill my children" I was yelling, screaming, fighting so hard to set myself free from these chains so I could rip her apart, but Jane kept laughing at me
"I want you to suffer before I finally end your miserable life. It won't be long darling, it definitely won't. I've gotten everything I ever wanted, your place, your mate, and even my position as Luna of the pack has been assured. Your death will come in a little while."
I sniffled, clutching my fingers so tight and sinking my claws so deep into my flesh without feeling an ounce of pain as I spoke,
"I'm never going to let you get away with this, I swear, I won't. If I ever leave here alive, I'll destroy you, I'll make you suffer ten times what I had to pass through, and I'll make you suffer more for hurting my children."
I watched her laugh aloud again, and then she began to walk away. As the doors were being shut, I looked away, letting my tears roll freely down to the floor .The moon goddess abandoned me, and even my innocent children had to suffer from all of this. My head fell back on the stone that I had to use as a pillow, and I shut my eyes, waiting patiently for when death would come because right now, I had no reason to live anymore.

3 Days Later.
ZANE:
I strode down the hallway, greeting every member of the pack that had come to pay respect to my father who was the late Alpha. It was also a tradition that I be crowned as Alpha the same day my father was laid to rest.
Jane was by my side, and we were walking together. I had decided to take Jane as my future Luna and I was going to make that announcement today. I had this feeling it was the best decision I had made in all my life, having Jane by my side as my Luna and mate.
Since Katherine was sentenced to the dungeon, I had not stepped foot there to see her filthy face. I didn't want to see her, neither did I want to hear anything from her or about her.
I also heard she lost the babies,
Serves her right for all the atrocious acts that she had committed while we were together, and I had a feeling this was the moon goddess making her pay for her crimes. Jane and I continued to walk until we got to our special seats.
"It's almost here." She uttered, staring at the seat that she would be sitting on in a few hours.
"Yes baby, it's going to be yours soon, and you'll rule beside me after today." I turned and kissed her forehead gently, "I love you so much Zane, thank you for trusting me."
"I'll do anything for you, Jane. At least you deserve that promise from me after standing by me." I replied and took her hand again, then we continued to walk. I was about to take a seat when one of my soldiers walked right into the hall, breathing hard,
"What's wrong?" I questioned him, getting angry at the interruption because the event was about to start.
"The Lycan King, he's here." He uttered.
I arched my brows in surprise, asking myself if I had heard him wrong the first time, "What?"
"Lycan King Leo is here!" He replied for a second time, and I immediately let go of Jane's hands, hurrying outside to see for myself if it was true or not. It had to be, it had to be fucking true, please!
