3rd person POV
How dare you lied to me, Dimitri snapped.
Immediately he left Kate’s room, He had summoned Anna the maid who had insulted Kate.
Anna was tied to the pole in the punishment room.
You dragged my Luna, Call her weak and a mere servant, how dare you.
I will not let it slide,
Yours will be an example to anyone who is planning disrespect my Luna.
You will be punished everyday, till the Luna says it’s okay, Dimitri said.
He signed to the guards to commence the punishment,
And stepped out.
Louis following closely behind him,
The servant commence the punishment and Anna screams in pain.

Kate was in her room, reading the “Luna Amora book.”
Then a knock came from the other end of the door.
She raised up her head to see who it was,
Then Anna stepped in,
She turned back to her reading,
I didn’t request for a maid, and if I need anything, I have Ruby to attend to me.
Anna knelt down crying,
I am sorry for my insolence behaviour My Luna, she said between sobs,
I don’t know what came over me, she continues
please forgive me and help me plead to the Alpha to pardon me.
I will never do such again,
Please, please my Luna.
I could die if this punishment goes on like this, she continued pleading.
Kate paused and raised up her head from the book she was reading.
Where did you hear that I was treated as a servant at my previous pack, she asked.
Rumours have been going around about it, she answered between sobs,
Kate looked at her as she was crying.
Then she remembered, how servants who disrespected the Luna or any high ranking member of the pack are being punished at her father’s pack.
She also remembers how there are always flying about amongst the servant about the pack affairs as well as pack members, so she believed her.
She then took pity on her.
I will plead with the Alpha on your behalf, she said
Don’t ever let this repeat itself, and also know that rumours can be lies sometimes and can land one in trouble if one take action or make judgement based on it, she said.
Thank you my Luna. Anna said.
I have learnt my lesson, she added.
Good, Kate said then continued her reading.
I will take my leave now, Anna said as she stood up looking at Kate who was backing her, with a disdain look.
As she was out of the door she gave a wicked grin,
I will make sure get rid of you, before the Alpha mark you.
She head straight from the pack house to Sarah’s Cabin,
She has been working with her in orchestrating her evil actions.
She knocked, and the door sprang open.
What did you want, Sarah asked.
I’m sorry for just showing up at your door.
Sarah went back in without responding to her plea and left the door open for her.
Anna stepped in and locked the door behind her.
What is it, Sarah asked again.
Then Anna recounted what happened between her and Kate and how she was punished.
As she finished, Sarah growled angrily.
I will not let that half breed take my place, Dimitri belongs to me, she lashed out.
I should be the Luna of this Pack not some outsider who is just a weak half breed.
Sarah said as she pace round her room in anger.
Because of that half breed Dimitri pushed me away,
Who does she thinks she is,
She now refer to herself as his Mate and the Luna, Anna interjected
And she is now getting stronger, she continues
We need to get rid of her before she gets more stronger and the Alpha mark her, she continued.
How do we get rid of her.
Well since I saw her admiring the sword,
I could find a way to get the sword into her room and then once the Alpha noticed his sword is missing he will do anything to find it,
He will suspect me since I am the only servant that has access to his room.
They will then arrest me,
but for this plan to work out, We will need more help, Anna landed.
What and whose help do we need, Sarah asked.
We need help amongst the pack members, the guards, the servants and the pack elders, Anna responded.
Okay I have some guards, I have relationship with
and then I have my uncle amidst the pack elders, I could convince him to help me.
What will he need to do,
We need the pack elders to insist on having Kate’s room search on the bases that she is the only outsider in the pack house.
And then the guards that will be on our side, we need them to escalate the matter,
Once the Sword is found in Kate’s room, and they get alerted, they should ensure the pack members heard about it.
The Alpha might want to conceal it, we must make sure it is not possible.
Then we would have some pack members that would want Kate out of the pack.
I would have get some maids to be spreading it already on how I had caught the Luna helding on to the sword, Anna concluded.
Oh wow! This is a very brilliant plan, Sarah said.
But how do you intend to get the sword into her room, since you don’t have access to her room.
Well I can get the key to her room from that her stupid maid,
She will never hand it over though but I will get it by all means.
Are you sure this plan will work out, Sarah asked.
Yes I am, she replied
we just need to get all these people I have listed, to ensure it works out, she added.
And if it doesn’t work out, you have to take the blame, Sarah said.
Anna nodded,
Okay, but I am certain it will, she said.
***
Kate had not relent on her training
Dimitri is also helping her with the training.
Their bond is now getting stronger.
There are some times Dimitri would just want to held on to her,
Both their wolfs are now connecting so well,
They will go on a run in their human form together.
With Kate and her wolf Lyka around, Drey is now more calmer and Dimitri feels so relieved.
Since there are no issues to be solved, Dimitri get more time to spend with Kate.
For like three days now, Dimitri has been feeling the urge to put his mark on Kate but he held back.
He wants to wait till she transform successful by next full moon, then announce to the whole pack members who had been claiming Kate has a weak wolf and doesn’t fit to be their Luna.
Within just a week after Kate couldn’t transform, her strength has improved so well, that nothing should stop her from transforming by the next Full moon.
Louis was happy with the way things had turned out between Dimitri and Kate,
Since the death of Amelia, he hadn’t seen his best friend this calm.
Dimitri groaned, as he wakes up to the sound of Kate’s Alarm,
He had slept off inside Kate’s room yesterday night when he came to see Kate.
Kate too also wake up, then stood up and strode off to the shower.
She came out already dressed up.
Good morning my Alpha, she greeted Dimitri.
Good morning, Dimitri responded.
Are you coming along, she asked Dimitri as she was about to step out of her room.
Yes I am, he said.
They both head down the stairs and off to the Cabin.
Some minutes after they had left,
Anna snuck up the stairs, she had confirmed both of them are now in the training cabin.
She and Sarah had put in place their plans,
“It took them a week because Sarah didn’t find it easy to convince her uncle, Sir Leonard who is one of the pack elders.”
She has managed to steal Kate’s room key from Ruby.
She opened Dimitri’s room gently,
She gets the sword and locked the door behind her.
head straight to Kate’s room and unlocked it.
Then head straight to Kate’s closet
She opened it, then placed the sword at the far end corner, where it won’t be spot easily.
But the she draws out the sword from it’s pocket, showing only small part of the sword, so that the shining of the silver blade.
So that even though the sword is hidden in a corner, the glittering of the silver will attract whichever guard is searching the closet.
She stepped out of Kate’s room and closed the door behind her.
Dimitri and Kate head back from the training to the pack house.
Dimitri went to his room, as he has somethings to sort out, the Silverwood Trees territorial right is yet to be solved, the werewolf Councils has given every member time to get more information about the border of Twilight Fang and Embermoon Pack.
Kate also head to her room,
Dimitri stepped into his room then head to the shower immediately without wasting any much time.
he mind-linked Louis.
Are you awake, he asked.
Yes I am, Louis replied.
Come meet me in my office, we have few things to get done, he said.
As he came out of the shower, he head straight to his closet,
Then his eyes strayed to where the sword use to be,
He moved swiftly to check well,
And yes the sword was gone.
As he was in disarray, Louis walked in.
Good morning Dimitri, Louis greeted.
Good morning Louis, he replied swiftly.
My sword isn’t here, he said looking frantically at every corner in the room.
Louis also joined in in the search.
Who dares move my sword away from where it used to be, Louis said
When was the last time you noticed it, he asked.
Last night before going to Kate’s room, Dimitri responded.
Get me Anna, Dimitri demanded.
