KATHERINE For a little while, last night was no different from a hallucination. It felt surreal. Heavenly at the same time. He was mad at me but then things changed in a blink, he was all over me like some leech. That at least spared me his wrath. Then again, he's been cautious now that I'm pregnant. “You should take your seat.” I heard a voice that belonged to Eva whisper behind me and I turned around, acting completely neutral. “Why?” I asked her. I knew the answer already when I looked at the seat she brought me. “Looks like you need it.” She mumbled as quietly as ever, her hands involuntarily covering her face shyly while I glared at her. I knew she was going to find me but it was difficult to leave Derek's door. I can't remember what I was doing here in the first place. I shouldn't be peeking through the peephole at his sleeping form, I just can not resist the temptation. “I don't. Don't misunderstand me.” I remarked and walked away. That was embarrassing. Deep down I k
KATHERINE “Ma'am, I'm sorry but you can't just walk into the kitchen like that. We are here to bring everything to you.” A maid pleaded after me in a hushed voice as if trying to be discreet about my violation and her failure to keep me away but it took long for me to respond to her because I made sure I already entered the kitchen. It's crazy how she's about to develop a high blood pressure over something like this. “Do you realize you're the one putting yourself at risk right now? I'm not leaving so if you don't want to be the one to suffer the punishment, you should keep quiet. It's up to you whether or not you want to expose yourself, anyway.” I didn't want to be so rude but that didn't stop me from scoffing either as I looked away from her. I wasn't here to cook or anything. I should have expected them to make a big deal out of everything. “I'm sorry, ma'am.” She turned away with a faint smile. I didn't spend too long, I just grabbed the bottled water I came for and walked
KATHERINE“You mean she could have been his breeder instead?” My face went pale and I pushed away everything I was doing. Lyra didn't go back on her words, she nodded her head and I staggered back. I don't know what brought about this discussion with Lyra but one thing led to another eye she came in to welcome Marina to the pack house. “Yes but I think she was hesitant or something. I guess something happened and instead of her, you became the Hybrid's breeder instead.” Her voice pulled me out of my dizziness, and I forced myself to stand on my toes. I don't know why hearing this just made something click in my head. Was she now regretting it now? Could it be the reason why I would find her stalking Derek at times? Goodness, this is so hard to take in. “Wasn't that the maid I saw earlier?” Marina asked with a frown and I nodded. I have lost count of how many times I've nodded since this conversation, it's clear how much I have been rendered speechless. I might be wrong but I kne
KATHERINE“W-hat?! Of course not!” I cracked a nervous laughter, still hoping it was a joke. How could I be so dumb? Gosh, it hurts a part of me when I felt the guards stepping really far away from us, in the I-told-you way. “But you're outside.” He said in his usual grumpy way, “And you have a baby in your stomach, young lady.” My knees turned weak. I regret never forcing myself to sleep. I shouldn't have batted an eye when he was yet to arrive home. He's a powerful Hybrid, after all. Nothing could have happened to him. I just had to sneak myself into his bad book again. “I thought how you hadn't arrived wasn't normal so I came out. I was just about to head back inside.” I mumbled and I could see anger flashing through his composed face. Great, I just annoyed him. I turned around to leave since it sounded like a logical move and the best thing to do. “You should know what happens in case anything bad happens to the child.” I paused. I couldn't see his face but I knew he was s
KATHERINE My silence was deadly frustrating and not like I could do anything. I have seen many unbelievable things but this just doesn't fall in the same category. Instead, it's rather shocking. They can't be here from me. For goodness's sake, they are up to twenty men. No fucking way, he himself doesn't have that much men following him everywhere it goes. I'm sure I've set a record… the first powerless omega to have so many guards. It sounds so ridiculous to my hearing that I almost cringed. “They will be staying with you from now on.” I heard the voice come from behind me and I immediately knew whom it was. I was a little dubious at first when she told me what was happening, simply because no one would hear that and not find it extremely crazy too. “And why is that?” King Derek was a reputable man, known far and wide. I don't understand why he would want to waste his precious time on me. From all what I have seen, he never set his mind on something only to backtrack later. “I
KATHERINE“Wow, the dress looks so beautiful.” “I know right? This is just one of the privileges of being your friend.” Hearing Marina respond so excitedly, a smile formed on my face. Her wardrobe has just been changed, she was given a new room also, but she insisted on staying together with me. Derek must have been disappointed there would be no more sneaking into my room. “In fifty years to come, I still wouldn't be able to afford a dress worth this much fortune, talk less of having over a hundred different of it in my closet like I do now.” She boosted and we both chuckled. “That must mean you own me a lot.” I teased her and she sighed, caressing my shoulder. “But you're not getting anything, not even a penny.” Meanwhile, after getting done with helping her arrange the dresses, time came for the doctor's appointment. I was informed it would be a twice in a month thing, and since I was carrying the pack's heir, there's nothing I can do but comply. When doctor Marina arrived,
KATHERINE “I repeat, an Omega should be the last person to carry an Hybrid's child.” Nothing could have prepared me for the dreaded words that came out of her mouth, not even the fact she's saying the glaring truth. “He knew that but still picked me, the said Omega. Can I leave now?” I ignored her horrible words and said abruptly, not giving her a chance to ask any more questions. She has such a nerve, one that made tears fall down my cheeks, and I quickly wiped it away and sank into the nearest chair when I reached my room. I was trying so hard to keep myself in check when Marina entered. She closed the door and stooped before me.“That shouldn't be worth your headache, remember people will always talk.” She began and I replied, my voice trembling, “That doesn't mean everyone has to be so mean. Exactly from someone I don't even know.” I had thought things would finally be peacefully. Apparently, I was wrong. I have been hearing this truth with my ears right from the age of sixt
KATHERINE “Get in.” “No.” I heard my voice tremble and amidst the heavy downpour of the rain, I stared at him defiantly. I can tell just how stupid I sounded but this was the only way I can get the rest of the cruel, particularly harsh words away I have been getting all my life from my body. I hope at least I can cleanse myself of everyone's hatred. “Get in!” He grunted once again from the door. Derek is losing it, I can see his men restraining from lunging at me and shoving me inside because of my state. “No!” I eyes him carelessly, my suffering that would still follow suit smeared at the back of my head as a heavy reminder. “Now!” “You can't make me—” I actually laughed, avoiding eye contact with him as my cheeks heated. Before I could turn back around and know what's happening, two men had already gotten behind me, my legs kicking in protest as they forced me inside. And not just anywhere but inside his room. I stood there and watched water drip from my cloth
