Alpha Caleb's POV
My headache was so bad, and I blamed it on the stress I have been in forever. It was tough but I finally got Alpha Derek on my side. I pointed out to him that helping a rogue Alpha take down my pack wasn't the best option. They could easily turn their backs on him. I was simply telling him the truth. It was the nature of rogues; they were never satisfied.
If they succeed in taking over my pack, they will start planning how to take over his pack when they get bored.
I rubbed my head as I swallowed the pills. It didn't help me get any better.
"Maybe you should get a little sleep." Daniel, my beta advised, and I nodded at him. I needed a lot of sleep. I had stayed awake for a week now trying to look for ways to get the problems of my pack.
"I will go to bed now. Cancel all my appointments and make sure that nothing else goes wrong." It was important. We can't handle another attack. I have succeeded in weakening the rogue Alpha, but I know that he will be back again, and I want to make sure that we are prepared for his attack.
"Yes, Alpha." He bowed and I nodded at him.
The first thing I noticed as I stepped into my house was that the servants were gone but I didn't pay much attention to it because I needed to sleep.
I breathed in deeply as I stared at the stairs. It had been a very long time since I slept in my room. Living with Freya made me uncomfortable, and I did everything to stay away from her. I always spent my day and night in the office. It was turning to my room.
As I walked closer to my room, I started hearing the sounds of moans. At first, I ignored it but as I drew closer to my room, the sounds increased.
I pushed open my door to behold a fucking scene.
Freya was kneeling on the bed, her hand on the headboard and my gamma fucking her hard from behind. He had taken leave last week because his mother was not feeling well only to come to my room and fuck my supposed mate.
Karma is such a bitch! I thought as the image of Katherine finding me in this same bed with Freya came running back.
The two were so busy pleasuring themselves that they didn't notice that they had an intruder.
I kicked my shoes off and walked into the bathroom to shower. The sounds of their moans increased.
I stepped out of the bathroom and my supposed gamma's dick was still fully buried in the whoring pussy of my supposed mate. They had changed their position. He was lying down and Freya was busy riding him like a horse pinching her nipples. The two were moaning loudly. Their voices echo.
I sat on the couch and waited for them to cum and it didn't take long, they both screamed their names. Freya's eyes rolled back into her head, and she looked like the bitch she was.
When they had cummed, I clapped my hand. The two turned to my direction and when they saw me, they immediately disentangled. The expression on Lucas's face was priceless.
"What a show," I commented, and I clapped again.
"Alpha." He breathed.
"Caleb, I didn't know that you were coming home."
"So, you would take your fucking to another place?"
"Don't mind me at all. You can go on another round, not that I care."
"Alpha please I am sorry. It was a mistake." Lucas said, going on his knees.
"It would have been a mistake if it were only once, but I am guessing that this isn't the fifth time."
"You can't blame me, Caleb, you abandoned me knowing how often I loved being filled," Freya said, trying to stand straight. I smiled bitterly at them.
"There, you got it all wrong mate, I am not blaming you. I don't blame any of you. If there is anyone to be blamed, then I am that person" I said, spitting out the word 'mate'.
"Alpha please forgive me, it won't happen again," Lucas begged, crawling on his knees and I closed my eyes and pinched my nose.
"Of course, it won't happen again, I will make sure of it. I am not mad at you because you slept with Freya. I don't care about her; she is just a whore who can't be satisfied with one cock. I am mad at you Lucas because you could have done it anywhere, in your place, hotel, anywhere I don't fucking care but of all places, you chose my place, my room, and my bed. Disrespecting me as your Alpha while I was busy working my ass off to make sure you don't get killed the next minute."
I brought my phone from my pocket and punched some numbers and shoved it back into my pocket.
A few minutes later, the guards rushed into the room and carried him.
"Alpha please I am sorry." He sobbed trying to beg.
"What should we do to him?" My delta asked and I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Anything you fucking want, I don't fucking care but I don't want to see him anywhere around my pack."
"Alpha please, my family!" He screamed as they dragged him out of my room.
"You should have thought of them before you went ahead to betray your Alpha." My delta said.
"And you Freya…"
"Don't come to me now. This wouldn't have happened if you gave in to my demands. If you had made me your Luna, I wouldn't have slept with anyone because I would have been too busy to become horny. You still have a chance to make it up to me." Is she fucking serious?
"I am going to rest my head now and you should be gone from this pack before I get up. If I find you anywhere around my pack, I won't be held responsible for whatever would happen to you." Her eyes almost fell out of their sockets as she stared at me.
I ignored her and left the room. I was feeling sleepy but there is no way I can sleep peacefully on that bed. I made a mental note to tell Daniel to change the bed and repaint the room.
Caleb's POVI sat down in my office, the doors shut against intruders as I stared down at my phone so hard my eyes began to ache.The latest report was from Daniel, and as it stated, things weren't looking so good.I held my head in my hands and resisted the urge to break down and bawl my eyes out.I hadn't cried since I was ten years old when my favorite pet died so I damn well wouldn't cry now.My people were looking up to me for a solution to end their suffering, but it seemed that every step I took forward, I was taken three steps backwards.The witch's warning kept on echoing in my head more loudly than before, and this time it wasn't so easy to dismiss.I needed to get Katherine back.But I also knew it wouldn't be that easy.How would she ever willingly accept me when I threw her out on her face…Sigh.I used the flat pad of my fingertips to massage my tired eyeballs while I contemplated what to do.Three rapid-fire raps on my door jerked me out of my thoughts, and I looked up
Katherine's POVI rolled over to the other side still asleep just as soft kisses peppered the back of my neck.I moaned softly into the pillows as the mysterious mouth latched on the sensitive spot on my neck and suckled hard.Suddenly a hard body bracketed mine on the bed, pressing down into the soft sheets. I loved the way his body warmed me up from the insides. I felt the movement of his lips as he went down my back, placing kisses as he went.The weight of his body, especially one particularly hard organ, made my lower region feeling all tingly.I was about to turn to my sides when I brought my elbow up and accidentally hit Ethan in the face."Oh!" My eyes flew open at his grunt, meeting his amused gaze. I yawned lightly, covering my mouth with the back of my hand. "Oops, sorry about that.""No need to apologize, sleepy head." He grinned at me and leaned down to place a sweet soft kiss on my lips. "I'm glad you're awake.""Yeah, I've been waiting for you to wake up." He said, his
Caleb's POVOne year later…..My boots shuffled amidst the dirt as I heaved my exhausted body down the hill.I was coming back from another failed journey like the rest I'd gone on earlier.Only this one raised my hopes so high because I thought I was finally close to having Katherine in my arms once again.But it was a dead end.I was getting increasingly weary of each failed lead I stumbled on and my hopes plummeted even further at every turn.I was so confused and tired.All I wanted was a long, hot soak in the bathtub with music belting out in the background while someone- preferably a lady or Katherine- a naked one at that massaged my shoulders thoroughly.But all of those wild fantasies were just that…. fantasy.With myself for the company throughout the past year, I had a lot of things to indulge in silly daydreaming.With every month that passed, I began to regret my decision of rejecting Derik's offer to tag along since I would have appreciated the help. I was also getting in
Katherine’s POV I closed my laptop with a sigh and rub my tired eyes with my fists. I look out the window only to see the sun setting. Damn, I didn't realize I'd been working that much for so long. I started to pack my bag, shutting my laptop down and slipping it into my bag. I was halfway done when the door to my office burst open and Sam's familiar figure filled the doorway. I looked up at her curiously as she carefully inched her way inside, closing the door behind her. She was twiddling her thumbs while she stared at me nervously. After our last time, she'd been avoiding me and I was also careful with my words around her. All I wanted to do was to help her, push her in the right direction so she could start healing but she was too scared to make an attempt which left us at an impasse. "Hey." I broke the silence that had stretched out between us and I stood up from behind my desk. "Hi." She croaked out before clearing her throat. "I was just about to" Her gaze darted around
Caleb’s POVIt was hard to hear the truth spilling from his lips. If that was the truth."What are you saying?" I grit out through clenched teeth, gripping the sides of his shirt tighter."You heard me right." He said cockily but when he saw the expression on my face, he quickly backpedaled and hurried out. "It's the truth, I swear!""And why should I believe scum like you? How would you even know about Katherine?!" I asked him, and the more I started to talk, the more it occurred to me that he could be spewing a whole bit of smoke up my ass just to deceive me.Or maybe that's why he's here all along."I know because I'm from there!" He spat out bitterly. "Our Alpha claimed her as his mate not long before I was…" he didn't complete his sentence, regret clouding his eyes as he turned his head away.But I forced it back to face me. "Before you were what?" Anger burned through my veins like acid at the mention of someone else claiming what was mine but I tried to keep a cool head."I was
Katherine’s POVEthan has been acting shifty.I tried and wished I could forget that conversation I overheard that night but after tossing and turning I had to confront Ethan over breakfast two days later."So, who was he?" I asked casually, spearing my fork with eggs and a piece of bacon."Huh?" Ethan answered distractedly, too absorbed with whatever he was doing with his phone and wolfing down food to pay attention."The man from the other night," I answered patiently, tamping down the urge to get pissed off at him.I waited for a beat and when it became clear he didn't even hear me, I dropped my fork so the loud tinkling of metal hitting metal drew his attention. "Ethan." I snapped.He dropped his phone and looked at me like he was doing me a great service by paying attention. "What is it, Katherine? I'm quite busy." He says in an irritated manner.I breathe In and out of my nose to calm myself, reminding myself that nothing will come out of me getting upset."The man I met you wit
Two years later…."Urgh!" I angrily stomped through the room, and sighting the vanity table I focused on it and poured out all my anger and frustrations on it.With one clean swipe of my palm, I pushed everything to the floor taking in a bit of delight when I heard the crunch of glass bottles hitting the floor. As if that was not enough, I brought down the mirror and flung it on the ground, stomping passionately on it for good measure.That temper tantrum didn't bring me half the satisfaction I was expecting, so I pounded my fists on the hardwood vanity table roaring out so loud I could feel the window panes shaking.Suddenly, I felt so weak and tired so I slumped to the floor and circled my knees with my hands, and bent my head.I didn't know I was crying until I let out a sniffle which quickly led to full-blown bawling.I didn't cry for long though because my room door burst open, and I immediately raised my head thinking it was Ethan coming to apologize.Unfortunately, it wasn't hi
Katherine's POV"Does daddy hate me?" Roy asked me out of the blue and I had to stop and lean back in surprise, staring at him.His head was bent, causing his dark mop of hair to flop forward, obscuring his features as if focused on the game but I knew better.This wasn't just a random question, it was a carefully thought-out one.Sometimes I forget Roy is just four years old because he acts and behaves beyond his ears.With his round cheeks and deep blue eyes of a peculiar shade, more and more with each passing day he resembles his father.I have a feeling that that may be why Ethan avoided him like the plague.It was more obvious now that Roy wasn't his.The real answer was too heavy for lips to form and yet the lie made my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth."Mama?" His warm, fleshy small fingers grasped my face as best as they could, pulling my attention to him. His big, blue orbs were wide with concernI quickly wiped the forlorn expression on my face and pasted a fake, wide ha
Katherine's POVAs both Caleb and I fell to the ground, funny enough I didn't feel anything different...maybe a wound or puncture or something.Nothing. 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
Katherine’s POVI watched everything that happened from afar, too shocked to even move.Was Daniel dead?After Daniel had been placed on the stretcher and taken away, Caleb went berserk.As in spitting mad.I've never seen him so pissed off as he charged at the man that fired the gun which had pierced Daniel's chest.The guy didn't even stand a chance as Caleb pummeled him into the ground, practically tearing him from limb to limb.After that he went wild and started to tear into our opponents, the pain of watching Daniel almost die pushing him.While I was distracted, several men came towards me and one of them had changed into his wolf form.Snatching a grenade off a stash, I ran and threw it behind me because I knew there was no way I could fight them all at once.Unfortunately, I wasn't out of the blast radius yet, and the force of the blast threw me thirty feet into the air. I landed hard on a piece of metal torn off a car and it was painful.I could feel my enhanced healing kick
Daniel’s POVI was on the sidelines when the war started, pretending to assist from the back. When those excuses ran out, I took charge of the men, ordering them to go batch by batch. 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
Shadow's POVThat kid was like me.That was.He was faster and dare I say, stronger than I was. 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
Katherine’s POVA huge rumble of explosion woke me out of bed, and I jumped into action, my heart hammering like a drum.It was weird, almost like I went back in time, and I was at Serenity where Shadow was attacking us all over again.I quickly put on my dress because I'd already selected my outfit days ago, I didn't want to be taken by surprise.Calen treated me to the most amazing dinner night yesterday almost like he knew that this was going to take place.I was halfway out the door when another boom sound rocked the house similar to an earthquake and I dived towards the bed, holding on to something strong. 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
Ethan’s POVWe were two days away from attacking Caleb's pack, but everything had to be put in place to ensure that there would be no losses on our end.I was poring through the plans, schematics, and strategic plans we had come up with for attack, defense, and offense when there was a sharp knock on the door, seconds later the door was pushed open to let someone in."Yes, what is Alvin?" 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
