Katherine’s POV

Ethan just blew smoke up my ass.

He didn't change, at least not in the direction I wanted him to.

He took a turn for the worse.

Now he rarely comes home. If he did, he was drunk, pissed off, or downright hostile.

The first few times I'd done what any other mate would do, try to talk to him to calm him down but after I got knocked on my ass twice, I didn't need to be told not to help again.

Now, I made sure to stay out of his way burying myself in work and any other thing I could lay my hands on.

I also invested my time with Roy in an attempt to make him forget the ass of a man that pretended to be his father.

By some unspoken agreement, we both agreed not to talk about him or act as if Ethan didn't exist, or even if we had to acknowledge him, we skirted around the recent developments.

I would have been content living my life this way if I didn't stumble on what I did last night.

I went into Ethan's office which he rarely used nowadays and was always under lock and key

    Katherine's POVI take up a fighting stance but deep down I'm so scared out of my mind. My body is frozen solid and I'm sure if one of the masked figures approached me, I wouldn't be able to untangle my stiff limbs long enough for me to move.My thighs tremble and I have to blink rapidly behind my mask so I can keep my gaze focused on them.At first, none of the men moved, and then the one that caused a diversion looked up to the other one that blew the powder.It seems he's the leader.He gives an imperceptible nod, and they creep closer.Fear runs through my veins and I'm stuck between the fight or flight response when the leader does something that shocks me."Katherine, we don't want to hurt you." His gruff and scratchy voice echoed loudly in the small space.How the hell does he know my name??!I shift back a bit but they notice and creep closer. I study his build and height and mentally run it through the guards at Ethan's home or anyone but I seem to be drawing a blank.That's

    Caleb’s POVI kick at my mask in anger, watching forlornly as it rolls on the ground gathering dust.I looked again in the direction Katherine took off in, and every cell in my body was protesting against me, urging me to go after her...I didn't dare to think…Not after I've experienced the level of hate she has for me. The pain wafting off her was more than enough to throw me on my ass ..it was that palpable.I turned to face Daniel who had now removed his mask, and was staring at me with an unreadable expression on his face."What?" I say."What in the goddess name did you do to that woman?" He asked me and I looked away."It's none of your business," I mutter. Like a bee to honey, I couldn't help but look in the direction Katherine went again.Daniel kept silent after that even though I knew he had more things to say. "So what do we do now?" He says instead, wisely closing down that topic."I don't know." I finger my chin. "She knows we're here and could easily expose us to them i

    Katherine’s POVMy vigil gave way to an exhausted slumber, and I was jolted awake by the slamming of a door from downstairs.Ethan was home!I jerked up on the bed and wiped the drool that had stuck to my cheeks.I dashed into the bathroom, sprinkling water on my face to wake up, and righted my clothes properly before I headed downstairs.My eyes caught on the digital clock and I winced inwardly when I saw the time.It read 1:45 a.m.Why the hell was he home this late?I heard shouting, glass breaking, and then some loud cursing.I hurried downstairs, wondering what was going on.Rounding the staircase, I caught sight of blood and broken bottles on the floor.My eyes widened, and I gingerly stepped around them, conscious of the fact that I was barefoot."Ethan?" I called out shakily, not liking what was going on in the house anymore.The uncertainty was starting to wear on my nerves, which I didn't find funny anymore.The response I got to my call was a loud grunt, then more cursing.

    Katherine’s POVI pressed my body so close to the wall, that I practically flattened myself against it. I stopped breathing unconsciously, anxiously waiting for Ethan's footsteps.It was scarily quiet but I waited a couple more beats before I started up the stairs.Unfortunately, I stepped on the creaky step that had a spring loose, the sound echoing loudly in the quiet space.Immediately, Ethan's lumbering form came around the corner and I squealed, bolting up the remaining stairs.I ran into the hallway, spying the door of our bedroom from here and I pumped my legs harder in a bid to get there on time."Katherine, wait!" Ethan bellowed behind me, his voice way too close for comfort.I ignored him of course and continued running, which fueled me to go further.Distantly, I wondered if the people around weren't woken up by all the commotion, because I was confused as to why no one was coming to help me.Then again...I'm not sure they'd dare to intervene.I get to the door in record ti

    Caleb’s POV"Hey, have you seen anything yet?" I half yelled and half whispered. I paced back and forth on the ledge, half leery of the steep edge and half anxious as I waited for some news from above.And by above...I meant Daniel.Only the loon seemed to love me drowning in misery since he stubbornly refused to reply to any of my questions for the past ten minutes.His legs dangled from the small alcove a couple of feet above us, while the upper half of his body was somewhere I couldn't see.A couple of rocks skittered away from my feet and rolled down, down, down… into nothingness.The eerie silence following the rock's departure made me nervous, and I swallowed thickly.I inched closer to Daniel's legs and tapped his thigh.No response.So I shook the pant leg of his trousers"Daniel, anything?!" I squeaked out, andHe shook his behind in response and I moved back an inch, wary he was going to fart in my mouth.However, he wriggled some more, pulling his upper half slowly out of t

A wide smile crossed his face when he saw me, and he jumped up happily running to hug me."Roy, don't-" Sheila spoke up when she saw him running towards me but I held up my hand, silencing her.His small, chubby hands wrapped around the back of my thighs and I placed my hand on his head cradling his small body close to me.I used to be quite upset a bit after he was born that he wasn't mine, and I tried to push him away. However, I couldn't stay away for long due to his childlike innocence.Keeping my distance didn't work, only hurting me in the process so I just decided to love him. Contrary to what Katherine thinks, I would never harm a hair on this boy's head.Surprisingly, Roy took the move and the absence of his mother quite well. That might have been attributed to the fact that I kept on promising him that was going to come around."How's my little man doing?" A twinge of guilt sprang up when

    Katherine’s POVMy mind is made up.I licked my lips and bit the tips of my nails worriedly, thinking through what I was about to do.I rarely saw Ethan at home anymore and quite frankly, I don't even care anymore. All I wanted was my son and to get the hell out of here.I had been toying with the idea in my mind, but not until last night did I finally decide to go ahead with it.I was lying down, half asleep on the bed when I heard shuffling movements. Quickly, I shut my eyes and steadied my breathing, pretending to be asleep. Ethan stumbled into the room, smelling weird. The familiar smell of alcohol was wafting off him but that wasn't what caught my attention.It was the underlying scent of perfume.Not just any perfume, but a woman's. Sheila's.Horror clouded my mind for a moment as I pondered what Ethan might have done with her. I resisted the urge to vomit and in so doing my breathing changed, informing Ethan that I wasn't asleep anymore.Thankfully, he was too wasted to do anyt

Someone reached out and dragged me forward like a rag doll before clamping one hand around my thigh and a meaty hand grabbed both my arms.Together, they hoisted me up from the vehicle and carted me to an unmarked building.It wasn't familiar as I hadn't seen it before. I tried to crane my neck looking for Ethan, hoping I could appeal to his senses but he was nowhere to be found.My brows wrinkled because I was sure I had seen him earlier before I passed out.Anyway, I focused ahead and tried to get as much detail about where they were taking me but they walked so fast it was hard to.It was an ugly brown, brick building with slightly overgrown weeds at the sides. It seemed abandoned and my theory was proven to be right when one of the men went ahead to jerk the door open for

I felt fine.Caleb immediately rolled off me, inspecting my body for damage but I waved him off with an 'I'm Fine' only for me to look further and see Tyrone's dead, sightless eyes staring up at me.I let out a sound that stemmed from my feelings of shock and horror. He was lying just at my feet with a bullet hole in his head.His face was even frozen in a surprised expression like he couldn't believe it. Pressing a hand to my mouth to retain the whimper, tears sprang up to my eyes.It occurred to me then that Tyrone had pushed us away to take the bullet for us.In other words, he died for us.If only I had listened to him, then he wouldn't be dead!The sound of engines snapped me out of my reverie, pushing me into action when I realized that his murderers were about to flee.Caleb tried to hold me back when I raised 'ready to kill ey

I was doing everything possible in my power not to go out there.Not only did I not want to be seen as a traitor but the thought of killing and butchering the people I once called friends… turned my stomach.Being here alone made me feel sick but I didn't know how to get out of it without raising Ethan's suspicions.But when Shadow arrived with over two thousand of his men, I had no choice but when Shadow arrived, I had no choice but to fight alongside them. I left the back entrance, and I followed them to fight.Instead of fighting for Ethan, killing Caleb's people I was secretly helping Caleb's men by fighting against Ethan. I had just dodged a blow from one of Ethan's men, rolling to my feet about to stab him in the back when I saw Shadow coming out from Caleb's house with someone in tow. At first, I

It was scary to think and after I broke his left, I ran away.Because of two reasons.One I had other plans and two, there was a slight possibility that that kid could beat me in front of my men...it was slightly but I wasn't taking it.Sneaking into Caleb's house was pretty easy to do. Everyone was distracted with either saving their city or their lives, leaving the house wide open.My source informed me that this was the spot, so my steps were sure and measured. With my long coat hiding my build from others, I was able to blend in.There were three men at the entrance of the door. The one closer to me was the first to see me approach and he yelled in warning. Unfortunately for them, he was too slow, and by the time he finished uttering the words, his two colleagues were dead, one with a knife to his throat and the other with a bullet embedded into his forehead.The guy ran back in horror,

    Freya's POVIt took almost seven hours before I got close to Caleb's pack. Four hours by bus and three by running on land. Finally, I was close enough to hear it.The sound of violence was even louder than I expected and for a moment, I second-guessed all my decisions that had brought me here to this point.I hesitated, pressing my back to the big, rocky boulder that was behind me. I ducked my head and closed my eyes in fear when I heard an explosion rock the entire city. That was big!I didn't know how to feel, and running back the way I came from crossed my mind.I squashed the thought almost immediately. I was here already, no way I was going to run.Every pit stop made by the bus made me contemplate jumping down but I kept on pushing until I was here…Another explosion follows closely behind the first one, but this time even the boulder behind me shakes from the force.It's even closer than before. I raised my head to peep over the boulder, noticing that there were a couple of men

    Freya's POVI was sitting down in a dive bar slash restaurant at noon minding my business when the bell over the door chimed to announce people walking into the store.I turned to look at who had arrived just like everyone else in the place and saw two ladies chatting animatedly with hand gestures and the works.The relief was instantaneous, and my shoulders relaxed a bit. Even though I've been in a beautiful town called Cubanos just a couple miles south of Florida for two weeks, I've been anxious and tense whenever I've seen or spoken to anyone else. The first week was the worst and I'm sure I had people looking at me to find out what was wrong or being hesitant to walk up to me.I had just had this crazy feeling that either Ethan or Shadow was going to find me. It was so bad that I didn't step foot out of my room for the first three days until I was driven out by hunger.Quite pathetic.Even coming out here was factored in by a guy. I'd gone to the only supermarket this town boasted

    Katherine's POVMy body was light and weightless, almost paper-like in comparison.I didn't feel anything for some seconds until I crashed back to reality. My hearing was fuzzy, and things sounded distant. My breathing was erratic as I sought to control it.Turning to my side, pain sprang up the moment I moved my body and I whimpered. My entire side felt like it was being steam cooked.I was in agony as I couldn't even turn or move. The pain started to subside after some minutes, as my body started to heal itself. I must have blacked out because the next thing I saw was Caleb's face and he carried me through the city, avoiding heated zones so he could take me to the clinic.Unfortunately, the bouncing aggravated the pain I felt, and I screamed out loud. I kept on screaming until he dumped me on a bed and something sharp pricked my skin and I floated off. I was waking up and slipping back into unconsciousness as my body fought to heal all the damaged tissues. There were times it felt l

It passed and I was able to stand up without the fear of falling. I ran out the door and into the hallway to meet a total mess. Several pieces of furniture were turned upside down and the entire place in disarray.I could see masked men fighting, trying to get in but our men were holding them down. From here I had a clear view of what was going on outside and my stomach twisted

I immediately covered the plans I was looking at because right now I didn't know who to trust."There's someone who has something to tell you, sir." He moved out of the way to allow Enrique who had been undercover in Shadow's territory for a long time come through.I stood up the moment I saw him, my heart racing for several reasons. I wasn't expecting him, and it wasn't time for him to come home."What are you doing here?" I asked him, before remembering we had an audience. To Alvin, I said, "You can leave."We both waited until he left the room, the door locking softly behind him and until we could
