KATHERINE 'A charge of raising her hand on the Hybrid King.' I burned with guilt and panic as Eva was being taken into the same cell I was just brought out of. Leaving me with Derek, the king. I couldn't look me in the eye. I'm curious as to why he has intentionally got between us just to take the hit. Luckily Eva stopped herself just in time, otherwise I don't want to think of how her head would have been rolling on the ground by now. “Are you going to form up another lie again and join your loyal servant in the cell?” As the words left his mouth, my heart thumped faster than it should. I have always failed to handle myself around him every time. “No. I'm sorry.” I halted slowly and casted my head down, tears almost streaming out of my eyes as I wondered what life I was living. The house felt even more lifeless after Eva's imprisonment. I would barely touch my food, pushing it around my plate as my mind wandered, wondering when she would be released. The days dragged on in a
23KATHERINEI didn't expect her to be out of the cell any time soon.Of course I feel reassured since I can finally get rid of the guilty feeling in me. At the same time I feel disappointed but what she had done. I stepped back away from her even as she came closer. Does she know she has been caught by me? Probably not. “I'm glad to you're out of the cell.” I replied bitterly. On some other day I would have stayed longer with her but it was torture staying two minutes with her now.She nodded and I was supposed when she grinned and walked past me, to place a knock on Derek's door. I continued walking, not stopping until I have reached my room. If I had told the hybrid King Eva has something to do with the lost jacket, I'm sure that would have increased her term in cell and she wouldn't have been here to grin at me. I know what she's doing. She can try to act like what happened between us never existed and I am ready ready to play that game with her too. I just feel disappointed i
KATHERINE My heart pounded immediately as he approached, the clock striking seven and my eyes going wide out of their sockets. I waited anxiously for him to reach me, my heart plummeting back into its ribcage as I glanced at the wall clock. How could I have missed the time? For goodness sake, it's so ridiculous how I feel the time was a bloody cheater and could have waited for me. Till I was done thinking? I groaned reluctantly as his warm hand caught me by the neck and spun me around. I ended up locked between his arms, my back against the wall. I can't even remember the time I stood up. What was going on with me? It's so terrifying how he's making me loose my senses. “Another excuse again? The wall clock wasn't there this time? Or you're so done with the routine you want to die and give up?” He pulled away to take in my face in the small lightness of the dark night, and I moaned, my head titling to the other side as I felt his hand slip under my dress. “Answer me!” He growled
KATHERINEShock.Was what I felt at first. Followed by confusion. Lyra wasn't lying. I was summoned by the council of Alphas and it was a miracle how I could stand before them without wobbling. I wasn't told why because Lyra herself doesn't know. I was given a seat in their circle, and when I met the Hybrid King's eye, I quickly looked away. I'm sure he knows why I am here. “That is my breeder. If you have any questions in which you had like to ask, she's here to answer each and every thing. I am going to have an heir soon and at this stage, whether or not you all choose to be patient is none of my business.” I heard Derek's roar right behind me where he is seated. None of them retorted. More like I've grown known it the Hybrid's rudeness and it wasn't a new thing to them anymore. Poor them. “What is your name?” One of them sighed as he stroke his white hair. I don't know about Alphas but this particular man seem to have been ruling his pack for a long time now. Now that I took t
KATHERINE “What the fuck!” I screamed the loudest I have ever had to. She also flinched back, apparently startled. What is she doing here? How did she get her?! Before I could go ahead and question her, a very pissed voice and I was reminded of the reality. Derek! “Why the hell did you just scream?!” It took a few seconds for his question to register in my head. I looked away from Eva who has her hands together pleading for me to keep her secret. “I thought that was a ghost.” I placed my hand over my chest, gasping and pretending to be so scared. “Do you want to take a look?” I flashed him a killer smile and gushed. “Take your leave, Katherine.” He massaged his temple, as if sensing a headache. I didn't argue with him but I remained silently, unknowing gawking at him. He's so good looking it pisses me off sometimes. For someone so grumpy and arrogant, he should look exactly as the devil but here he was, looking so dashing like an angel who fell from heaven, his face enough sigh
KATHERINEI have spent a lot of time on earth but the past two months was one to remember. Derek wouldn't judge me on bed, if anything my body was like a drug and he's the addict. There's no longer a routine for our sex life anymore, I either gets called to his room or he appears in my room when I least expected like a knight in shining armor. I snorted as I unscrew the lid of my drink. That doesn't mean he became any less arrogant or grumpy. It depends on his mood how less angered he gets. I've spent a lot of time with Lyra too, even if Beta Edward still stand firm on his words. What he relaid to me the Hybrid's said goes this way; “Everyone deserves a second chance at life. Only if Eva messes up again will she be permanently removed as Katherine's assistant. But then she shouldn't think she would get the chance to meet her offspring once she tampers with Katherine's health or chances to produce me my pubs!” Right, I also couldn't believe he could make such a sexy-dangerous thr
KATHERINEFuck. That scared me. My heart almost lept out of my chest. “Is there even a need for that? There's a tiny chance I can get pregnant before the two weeks runs out.” That however didn't stop me from saying the truth. I understand nothing is impossible but something that didn't happen since three months will take a lot of miracle if it finally occur at the last two weeks of the ultimatum. “Let's keep hoping, Ms.” The lady passed me a smile and it was then I took her in. Again, the dread from earlier rose back up my throat at the mere sight of her. She's so gorgeous I wonder why Derek doesn't seem so interested in her. He has been silent over since. His jaw would stick often whenever our eyes met. He's possibly getting impatient. For a moment I fell silence, remembering that day he bought me. Since I was a virgin, he must have thought there was a high chance for him to get want he wants quickly through me. “You go back to your room now.” His voice reached me and I relea
KATHERINE “She's pregnant.” When she voiced, a mixture of shock and surprise was what my face was twisted in. I couldn't understand how I was feeling, my heart that attempted to lunch out of my chest had taken back its position. My mouth was wide open too. “Are you sure?” I asked, totally ignoring everyone in the room as I looked at Doctor Melanie for an assurance. “Yes, you are pregnant. Tests don't lie.” Her grip tightened on my hands, a serious expression on her face and my eyes widened in shock, once again. This reality was totally unbelievable. I looked behind and watched as colors drained from Derek's dumbfounded face, he's probably as astounded as I was. “That's a good news.” His voice resounded in the room and he stepped forward. I noticed the excited glint that ran across his face as he shook hands with the doctor. I stared at him, feeling quite uneasy as everyone rambled on, equally as excited as I was but I couldn't show it. I felt some kind of guilt prick my skin wh
{THE END OF THE BEGINNING}THREE MONTHS LATER~“I’ve successfully put him to sleep and you know what? I’m exhausted.” Two months ago, the pack welcomed an heir, and not just a mere heir, a handsome one. Two months ago was the happiest day in Hybrid Derek’s life and that’s because he finally gets to see his son after mine arduous waits. On the other hand, Katherine, the pack’s Luna, was happy with their child’s birth into the world but all her life, she’s never been so stressed. Especially since the pup is clingy. But like Lyra had told her, it’s normal for babies to be clingy with their parents. Then there’s the sleepless nights, which is the hardest. Although Derek has been busy himself with the pack affairs, he was always there to help her whenever he could. However despite the troubles that comes with having a baby, every time she looked into her son’s eyes, she knew that she wouldn’t trade this life for anything.“I’ll go and prepare your lunch then.” Lyra offered but Kather
Third Person’s Pov“No, I made the right decision by letting her go.” Katherine and Beta Edward walked back inside, “I’m sure she dare not show her face again, anywhere near this pack.” She added. If it was up to Edward, he wanted to dig Eva a grave but the Luna decided forgiving her was better and he had to let her go. “This should be between me and you please.” As the gate locked behind them, Katherine reminded him. “The Hybrid shouldn’t know. If he does, he’s going to find her and hunt her down without telling no one.” She doesn’t want the Hybrid to get blood on his hands again. “Alright ma’am, I won’t.” Edward reluctantly agreed and she bided hun goodnight before departing to her room. As she passed the hallway, she couldn’t find Derek and was even more surprised that even until she got to her door, she was no where to be seen. Didn’t he just say he was going to wait for her? Or could he have gone to his room to sleep? “If I don’t see him, I won’t be able to catch a sleep.”
Third Person’s Pov‘Night Walk.’ Two words so forbidden that Derek doesn’t ever want to ear, most especially from his mate but it did came out of her mouth and he has never been that conflicted. He’s concluded within himself to always grant her anything, anything as long as it’s in his capacity and even though this one also was, he wants to make sure of her security first. She would soon deliver and a late night walk should be any of her cravings at her in a time like this. “No, you can’t go, I’m sorry.” He sighed and had to turn his back away. Katherine sighed too. It’s as if she knew already that he wasn’t going to agree. Her mate is only going to agree to such dangerous adventure of hers if only she casts him in a spell and that’s over her dead body. “There’s a really big heat, I don’t know whether you’re feeling it or not but I couldn’t even stay in my room, for real. It felt suffocating and since there will basically be a better atmosphere outside, I just want to be out t
KATHERINE My delivery date was fast approaching and today, it’s been scheduled I’d be going for the last few necessary purchase needed for the incoming baby. Even though it’s Lyra that I’m going with, they didn’t hinder my excitement. When I woke up this morning, I took a clean bath and prepared for myself for the shopping ahead. That too, making sure I’ve eaten. The Hybrid king doesn’t want to hear that I mistakenly skipped a meal. He’s going to lecture me throughout the day and by the time he would finish, I would be in regret for not forcing myself to eat. The door to my room opened and Lyra peeked in. “Are you done?”“Yes, let’s go.” I replied, snatching my purse from the stand. “No, you’re not going with me. The Hybrid King said he’ll be the one to take you.” She said when I reached her at the doorway. “Really? Are you sure?” I asked. She nodded and I sure wasn’t expecting that. I followed her outside and met the car already waiting. I got into the back seat and bowed my
KATHERINE A WEEK LATER~THE CROWNING~Last night, Derek marked me and that made me extremely happy.I wasn’t expecting he was going to do that anytime soon. Especially at his clan, not his pack. When I couldn’t keep it in anymore, I asked him why the next morning just as we were about leaving. He said and I quote: “When I told you any of their decisions on you won’t change my perspective of you, I wasn’t lying and just so you can rely on me, I had to mark you that same night to reassure you that I’m all yours now, just as you are mine, forever.” I didn’t let him see it but I had gushed. Even as I stand before the vanity mirror, I found myself blushing, forgetting I wasn’t the only one in the room. Suspicious Lyra met my eyes in the mirror and I quickly composed myself, my expression turning serious within a twinkle. “I really don’t need that much makeup, okay? If you feel we are going to arrive at the hall late, just dress me up and let’s go now.” I told her, rubbing my hands to
KATHERINE{SEX NIGHT 2 }“Shit!” Derek rasped a curse. “All this wetness for me?” “Yes.” I responded affirmatively and I’m not sure whether or not he heard but he must have gotten the message when I nodded my head, because he didn’t stop. His fingers moved up and down my wetness and he coated it around his finger. Isn’t it weird how I can basically feel the butterflies swimming in the pit of my bulged stomach? “If I continue like this, if my fingers keep working around your wetness, you do know I’m going to lose control right? I'm going to. Are you ready to watch the room tremble to a point of almost falling down?” He asked me. I knew he was just trying to warn me but if only he knew that only fueled my desperation. If I wanted him to stop halfway, I wouldn’t have let him began in the first place. His thumb started circling my clit, almost bringing me to my knees.“Yea! Yes, Derek. I’m ready for you.” My back arched.Stupid of me, I forgot I hadn’t answered him. “I need a full
KATHERINE { SEX NIGHT}Derek growled, and before I could process how deep it sounded deep inside of me, his lips were on mine as he settled onto me. He kissed me, he was kissing me- as if he’d been hungry for it since forever. He was kissing me so deliriously like a bear would and when his body came against mine, I felt him desperately seeking for me to give myself to me and it was as if he knew I would do anything for him. I parted my lips and allowed him ravage each part of my mouth while his palms simply yet powerfully roamed down my sides, not stopping until he’s reached just below my waist. My hands instinctively went to his chest and I didn’t expect it to be so warm and solid at the same time. But it was, and just for me. My heart almost flew out of my chest as it drummed in my ribcage and I hummed in shock when behind my fingertips, Derek’s heart also beater the same. And that, as if he knew, that glued him to press more into me with his hips and I could have ran mad when
KATHERINE “Do you know how intimidating those people can be?” As Lyra prepared my bath water, she asked me. “Do you?” I threw at her the same question in curiosity. It’s been on my mind ever since and this morning, I decided that it’s time I stop ignoring it. I’m scared of what I was going to meet there. Although Derek hasn’t spoken about it again but I know that before his three brothers would came again to come and torment every strings connected to my life, Derek would have taken us there. I had to tell someone about it and I chose Lyra. I couldn’t let the curiosity keeping eating at me. “No, but Hybrids are known to be more powerful than the Alphas and normally, the Hybrids clans have to be really strict about who they are taking in to their midst. So basically, you should expect them to be intimidating. If they get to like you, you would then be free from their gawking eyes.” She stated, stepping back for me once the tub was filled with enough water. And it all made sense.
KATHERINE Lyra came back in with the letter sent by Bryson, and I reached out for it. Lyra left and I started unwrapping the envelope. Bryson had told me he was going to be writing to me but I was the first person who wrote to him. I realized I couldn’t keep him in the dark even if he was gone now so I told him about yesterday’s event with Derek and how he accepted me as his mate heartily. After I’ve unwrapped the packaging around it, I stared at it for a while, deciding whether to open it now or not. Right before I could actually get down to it, I heard Derek call out for me. Just the voice I’ve been longing to hear since I woke up. With a smile on my face, I pushed back the chair I was seated and walked out of my room. It was strange how I immediately felt like something was amiss but I didn’t stop descending the stairs. I quickened my pace only to freeze when I saw something or rather someone that shouldn’t be here. “You think lying to me that you have a mate now is going to
