KATHERINE“I'm sorry. I just thought the question was unusual, especially since it came from you.” My eyes shifted away while he gave me a death stare. Although my blood boiled for the fact he seems to be hiding something from me. Something that’s important but he wouldn’t say to me, or reveal. “Unfortunately, you have no right to question me.” He gritted out, snapping at me and that was the end for that night. No one had to tell me before I left him alone. He needs his privacy and I’m not about to argue that with him. The next morning, I watched as Derek's eyes flicked lazily over the plates before him, his hands resting motionless on the table, whereas Eva hovered anxiously nearby, wringing her hands nervously as she watched him reject the first meal, then another. Somehow, the aromas wafting from the dishes did nothing to stir his appetite. I know he shouldn't see me here, but I was bored. And this is fun. I rephrase, he's fun to watch. "Please, king, you must eat something.
KATHERINE It’s true no matter how careful you trend, one way or the other, people tend to find a way to make you slip. This is my case. I’m in utter shock, and pain. It’s all just too ridiculous. I never considered that fact because I thought I was on nobody’s mind and not even a fly would pay attention to a disgrace like me. Turns out I was wrong. Someone had masked my scent. I wasn’t aware. To me, everything was okay. Maybe if this unknown person hadn’t masked my scent, it’s possible I would have met my mate. My life could have also turned around for the better, or maybe worse? Nevertheless, this explains the curious stares I constantly receive.Derek forced me inside the car and his driver drove us away. I wanted to stay longer, to receive one or more words from those wolves, maybe they would open up to me about everything, since I know Derek won’t mutter out a word. He however didn’t let me stay. I don’t even know the freaking solution. Then again, should I be finding one w
KATHERINE That night was a disaster. A big one. For me and everyone, the pack house became hot as hell for us. I forced the hybrid into bringing him with us and now, I can say I just flew from the frying pan into fire. I just couldn’t turn a blind eye to the guy- I don’t want to have any regrets. He could be right. What if we are mates and just don’t know yet because he can’t sniff me? Nobody can. I’m considering every possibility and because of that, I’ve sacrificed everyone’s sleep till day break The Hybrid King is livid at the moment. And in fact, if the foundation of this building wasn’t so strong, we had all be dead by now, undoubtedly. “Are you sure he’s going to be okay? He’s badly injured.” My eyes that had become swollen from tears snapped open fully when the door made a sound. I turned around and it was the pack’s doctor. Need I say, it was hard convincing Derek that the guy might die if he isn’t taken care of. It took a lot of persuasion from my end before
KATHERINE “And think before you speak. The last person who didn’t lost more than his tongue.” He continued, dipping closer so that he could lower his voice to a conspiratorial murmur. Somehow, my eyes popped wide. My two legs turned jelly. “Ha-ha, I’m so sorry.” I laughed it off trying to keep my voice casual but he was already gone before I realized. Darn, now I can breath. He has such a big ego, his guards are always up and never, do I see myself any closer than this with him. He’s someone impossible. More like, I wonder what I was thinking when I followed him and even blurted those words out to him. He doesn’t even need to say it, I already know he hates my existence. Right now, I don’t want to ruin my mood any further so I prepared to get back to my confinement when I sighted Cassandra and her fiancé, Liam from a distance. And there is Bryson coming out of my room, he looked around and when he found me, I knew I can no longer hide away from these trouble maker couples. “Oh,
DEREK “We found nothing, Hybrid!” I took a deep breath as I looked straight at the incompetent pack’s warriors. They are saying some certain types of gibberish even their own ears couldn’t discern. I hope they can tell things are about to get ugly. “Two months. Two darn months and not even one of you have proved an ounce of usefulness to this assignment. In case you have lost count, I’m going to refresh your memories and remind you lazy men how many chances you have asked for yet, it amounted to nothing. So far, all I keep getting are silly excuses and now tell me, you found nothing?” My face turned a deep shade of red as I snarled and growled at the same time. “We are sorry, King.” They chorused falling on their knees. “You should have informed me I made a mistake assigning a bunch of you to search up something that just one man would have gotten done. Maybe by then I wouldn’t have wasted my time! Less than a minute and I would have hired competents men from the other pack
KATHERINE “What?!” Flabbergasted, my eyes dilated as his words resonated in my head. “You can go wherever but remember, not with the pup in your stomach. Simple, right?” He bared his teeth. And before I could say anything, he gently pushed me aside and slammed the door shut. Gone, I looked at Bryson with a widely opened mouth. I can’t believe I fell into his deceit just like that. The thought crossed my mind he couldn’t have meant it. Moreso, he looked so serious before he decided to pour my renewed hope back into the air, and I have no choice but to watch it dissipate. How cruel can he be? He expects me to drop the child in my womb with him using some magic, then follow Bryson? How hilarious and absurd! “I’m sorry but this isn’t going to work as long as you insist on not sneaking out.” Bryson’s eyes zeroed in one me and I regret ever telling him coming to seek permission would work. Now, I’m conflicted. I wasn’t married to the hybrid king, still I’m no better
KATHERINE We. Are. So. Fucked! This is insane. How long would we be stuck in the woods for? “Is there anyone we can call? We have to go back, there’s no need furthering the journey anymore. We are here and I don’t think finding a path is the main solution. Oh, no… my child.” I twirled a braid of my hair around my finger, my legs taking me both back and forth, as shivers taunted my veins. I chuckled to myself, thinking about how dangerous it is here. Even if we are attacked, I won’t be able to fight for myself. Especially in my state. “Get into the car.” I suddenly heard him say and my eyes couldn’t have snapped towards him faster, “What?!” I instantly took my head, stepping back away from the car. I watched him pass me a stern look as he got back into the driver’s seat. I thought I have stood my ground until he honked and I bolted inside the backseat, exhaling like I just ran down a huge mountain. “We are not going to head back to the pack?” I almost began to tear up as I buck
KATHERINE “We can stop here.” Exhausted, I sat myself down on the road side bench and he did the same. I can't describe how I feel about his presence since it's been long we got this close together. The three days intimacy has came to an end and I haven't muttered even a word to him for months. Which is however to my advantage but having him here now, I don't know what to say of it. We both enjoyed the silence between us and when it's time to leave, no one thought of breaking the silence which I think is better that way. We got back to the pack house and I was amazed when Eva led me to a once-locked room.“Perfect right?” Her voice came from behind me. I didn't reply because my eyes was busy widened with wonder, taking in the adorable space designed including the walls painted a soft creamy hue, providing a array of baby wears. My gaze gaze swept across the room, and there's the tiny onesies, sleepers, and footed rompers neatly folded and displayed on shelves or hung from tiny
