Chapter 2: The Heartbreaking Farewell
"Hale, Hale, please stay with me. Please, don't leave me too, please!" Reana rarely showed vulnerability but right now, she was going crazy. Her mate was dying in her arms.
Chaos broke out in the square as people rushed to gather around them, but the warriors leaped into action, forming a tight circle around Reana and Hale. They didn't know what suddenly happened to their Alpha, so they couldn't risk anyone going close to cause more trouble. Until the healer arrived, no one would be let in.
Meanwhile, the pack members, Alphas, and everyone present were stunned and confused. They were just enjoying the ceremony a moment ago until the ritual ended and the couple were told to wait for the coronation to begin.
While the short break was ongoing, those present took that as a cue to start the entertainment - dancing, eating and drinking, and those who were lucky to find their mates before Reana arrived couldn't keep their hands to themselves, so many stopped paying attention to Reana and Hale. And suddenly, what brought their senses back was the Alpha's collapse.
Reana was the daughter of the late Alpha Roughman. She was destined to become a Luna as she not only had a Luna wolf, but also a secret that her father hid from everyone.
Reana was a seer.
From the moment Alpha Roughman knew this fact, he decided that Reana couldn't be allowed to leave the Black Moon Pack. She was a great asset and would be coveted by every Alpha.
Alpha Roughman didn't want his lovely daughter to be thrown into the midst of a brutal power struggle, where her unique gift would be exploited and manipulated by those seeking to dominate. He had kept her seer abilities a secret, hidden from prying eyes and wagging tongues, to protect her from the dangers that lurked in the shadows of the werewolf world.
Even Katherine and her children didn't know about this secret.
