Ari King’s POVRei Kang and I had been dropped off by aunt Lavender for school that morning. “You boys have a good day. I don’t want any calls from this principal about you being terrible.”Rei glanced over his shoulder. “We aren’t terrible. We just don’t let bullies do whatever they want.”“Yeah, it was you and Uncle Monty who taught us what it means to be fierce cats.”She sighed. “And I’m regretting that.”I smiled while patting her shoulder. “Well, we have pride in our shifting form. And if the goddess chooses either of us to lead the kinsmanship, it’ll undergo a significant change. For the better.”Aunt Lavender touched my hand. There were unspoken words she wished to express but gave my head a ruffle. “Get to class.”The two of us exited the car. Rei was the first to notice Kataya’s car in the parking lot. “I bet I can beat you to her.”“Whatever! Tigers are faster than lions.”“Nuh, uh! Lions are much faster.”Even though we shared everything, we were both challenging each othe

Melius’ POVIt made little sense how anyone could be cruel to a child. Hell, I didn’t understand how Lina could just stop loving her. She, above everyone, knows how it feels to be treated with disdain. There wasn’t much I could say to Kataya about other people. Only what I could do as her father. “Listen kitten, you are special.Other people will try to make you feel less than you are. Besides, you have me and Linus. We love you just as you are.”There was silence for the rest of the car ride. Kat said nothing until we pulled into the school parking lot. She faced me with glistening eyes. “Thanks, Dad. I know I’m special, but sometimes I wished I wasn’t.”Pulling her in for a hug, I rested my cheek on the top of her head. “It will get better. Well, it may get worse. You’re in junior high now. That’s a battlefield in itself.”She chuckled. “Yeah, I know. I miss having Ms. Tanis as a teacher. I wished she would be at this school.” Kataya pulled away from the hug. “Thanks again, Dad.”Pa

Kataya’s POVLinus had been awake in his bed, kicking his legs and arms. His cries were louder the closer I got to him. I can only imagine he didn’t recognize me when he saw me, so he cried harder. A part of me wanted to panic, hell I flailed from the situation. Just when I freaked out, he calmed down. It was bizarre.The cries quieted, and he stared at me. Reaching for him, I waited for him to cry again. When he didn’t, I picked him up. “Hi Linus! I’m your big sis.” I bounced him the way I caught Lina doing it from time to time.He shoved his fist in his mouth. The action caused me to smile. I held him awkwardly as we went back to the kitchen. Dad had set my food down in my seat. When he glanced up, his brows furrowed. Dad laughed. “Girl, how are you holding your brother?”It was my turn to furrow my brows. “What do you mean?” To be honest, I held one foot across my body. Linus was leaning into my arm. Yeah, somehow I held him the wrong way.“That’s not how you hold him, Kat. Here, l

Kataya’s POVAfter Dad left, I slept. It was the best sleep I had in a long time. I still wished I had the meal; he had my mouth watering over, but anything is better than nothing. Right? When we talked about the ritual, he gave me hope mom would let me near Linus. He is my baby brother. I wanted to bond with him, too.Morning came before I knew it. I wasn’t awakened by my alarm, but by something — well, someone else. “Little one. You should arise now.” I stirred. Mumbling in my sleep.The voice came again. “Little sun, you should learn to rise when I rise.”My eyes shot open. The Sun God had spoken to me again. I checked my window. The sky appeared dark still, with a hint of orange on the horizon. I grumbled. “You’re not even up. I’m a growing child. I should get more sleep.”The voice died down. I tried to drift back to sleep before my alarm went off, but another sound disturbed me. Walking to my door, I listened. M

It's with a heavy mind that Chasing Shifters will be going to a 2x a wk updating. Life has gotten much busier for me and as of now, and I can only do updates 2 days a wk. so look out for new episodes on Weds and Sats. This change will go into effect this wk. I truly hope you are enjoying the story. I know it's a slower pace but the build-up is important to the story. not everything will be included from the past but there will be flashbacks as Kat gets older. Please leave me comments or gems to keep me going. I am enjoying writing this novel and hope that you'll continue to join me on this wild ride. It's the first time I'll be including dark themes and traumatic experiences in any of my works. There will always be a trigger warning on chs that wont be easy to digest. thanks again for the support. enjoy the novel.

Melius’ POVThe first time I left Kat’s room, Lina had been waiting for me. Our son had been sleeping wrapped in the swaddle around her body. I gave her a chaste kiss. Then kissed my son on the forehead. Lina smiled at me. “What are you doing?”I knew she hated it when I called her our daughter. The hope that it was just a part of postpartum kept me going. It was dumb to think that. “I was just with Kat.”The moment I mentioned her name, Lina scoffed. Her face contorted with anger. I knew she would bellow something which would wake Linus. I cut her off before she could say anything. “We should talk in our room. Why not put Linus down in his crib?”She narrowed her eyes. “Fine. But if he wakes up, the conversation is over.”Lina went into the nursery and I into our bedroom. Plopping down on the bed, I scrubbed my face. This wasn’t the woman I married. After Kataya was born, she wasn’t like this. I wanted to rationalize why she’d been acting this way. I needed to rationalize it. We’d be
