PROLOGUE
Keturah had just prepared a delicious meal. She wanted to give it to Hercules because she knew how much he loved her meals.
She teleported to the Blackwood pack. She wasn't usually stopped by the guards from coming into the palace.
Well, today was different because as soon as she got to the entrance of the large door that led to the kingdom, the guards blocked her entrance with their swords.
" What's going on?". She asked as she paused to understand what was going on.
" The Alpha commands that no one be allowed in today and that includes you". One of them explained and her shoulders slumped.
" Is there an important guest today?". She asked but they didn't reply.
She looked up and asked,
" What's up there?".
The guards traced to where she was pointing out to but there was nothing there.
She used her witch speed and made her way into the palace.
The guards tried to stop her but she was faster. She made her way to Hercules room and quickly locked the door behind her.
She turned around and what she saw made her drop the food in her hands.
Hercules was in the arms of another woman - Seraphina, her adviser.
" What are you both doing here together?". Keturah asked.
" Why are you here, Keturah?". Hercules immediately asked back.
" So this was what you were busy with? Having fun with my Royal adviser?". Keturah asked, her eyes blazing purple.
" I was going to explain it to you later in a way that you would understand ".
" There's nothing to understand here, Hercules. All I see is a cheating mate".
" We're not mates, Keturah. We are not destined to be together. Sera is my real mate and......"
Just then, a little boy ran in and a maid walked in with a little boy child in her arms.
" Your Highnesses, I'm so sorry for intruding. The kids were just so eager to see their parents". The maid pleaded and Keturah stared into Hercules eyes.
" Thanks, Genesis. You may leave". Seraphina thanked her.
Genesis handed the baby over to her and walked out, closing the door behind her.
" And you have kids behind my back?!". Keturah yelled and he sighed.
" I promise I didn't want you to find out this way". Hercules confessed and she just let tears out of her eyes and ran out.
She quickly teleported herself back to her throne room.
The next mating season was around the corner and now she had no mate.
She sighed and cried out. She had just been betrayed by the two ones she had cared for and now she was left alone.

Keturah put on her best dress. She knew she was going to be alone she besides that, she still dressed to kill.
She teleported herself to the Silver wood kingdom, the city for all wolves where the mating party was going to be held.
Other creatures were there as well but Keturah was mainly there for revenge.
As soon as she saw Hercules, he was about to talk to her but she just brushed her shoulder with his and walked past him.
He turned to look at her and she quickly leaned on a nymph.
" Wow, I've found a mate!". She screamed as she hugged him tightly and kissed him on the cheek while the man just stared at her in disbelief.
Hercules looked devastated and Keturah was loving it.
He walked out and she quickly left him. She was about to walk out but he pulled her back and she landed on his chest.
Her hands could feel his hard chest.
" Trying to run away now?". He asked and she tried to pull away but he wasn't giving in.
" No I'm not. I just wanted to get someone off my shoulders". She replied as she looked away from his handsome face.
" Mate?".
" No, he's not my mate".
" Well, I'm your mate now". He added and she looked at his glowing heart and hers as well.
They were both glowing which means she was his mate. She gasped.
" Y...you're really my mate?". She asked and he nodded.
" The gods really gave what I wanted". He replied.
" The name's Hareth". He introduced himself.
" Oh, I'm Keturah".
* 6 years after *
Keturah gave birth to a beautiful young girl, even more beautiful than her.
" She do very well, just like you". Hareth complimented and she smiled at him.
" I love you so much". Keturah stated.
Keturah was taking a nap when she heard voices in her head.
" He hurt you".
" He hurt you badly".
" Why don't you give him a taste of his own medicine".
" Show him that you shouldn't be messed with".
" I know you're pained and this is your opportunity to make him know that you shouldn't be messed with".
Keturah's eyes immediately turned blazing purple as she teleported to Hercules throne room where he sat down.
She made a spell and was about to cast it when a little boy ran towards him but before she could do anything, the spell had already hit him.
Just then, she felt something leave her. She had come to her right senses but it was too late.
" What have you done?!". She heard Hercules shout.
She saw him laying on the floor unconscious.
She gasped when she scanned him and saw that she had used a spell that has been abominated.
" I didn't mean to do this". She cried but he didn't listen to her.
" Execute her at once!". Seraphina yelled but she quickly ran to her kingdom which was already raided.
Many witches had already been killed.
" Save yourselves!". She yelled and they began saving themselves.
She got the army ready to fight for the kingdom. She sent a message to Hareth, informing him that they was war in her kingdom.
Hareth immediately sent his army and came as well but he was too late.
An arrow had already shot Keturah in her heart. She fell to the ground and he immediately ran towards her.
" Hang in there, Keturah. I'd treat you now". He said and was about to heal her but she shook her head.
" No Hareth, it's too late. Where's our daughter?".
" She's at home". Hareth replied, tears welling up in his eyes.
" Make sure you protect her and do not let anyone know she's a witch, okay?". Keturah pleaded.
Hareth nodded and he caressed her cheek with his hands. She closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She is dead.
