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
BRYSON The smile on my face spreaded wider when I saw the look of displeasure on Derek’s face. I didn’t plan to come and use the dinning, the house was becoming more boring and I thought I could use some fun. And I wasn’t wrong. Seeing the hostile way he glared at me from across the table, I knew together was going to be a good day. “We have been served. Let’s eat.” I announced to him, picking up my fork and even after I was done and looked up, his glare didn’t waver. His fists clenched against the table’s edge and I smiled, in pleasure. “Can I start eating then?” I wagged one of my brows and when he didn’t speak, I thought it was cool and brought up a spoonful of the pasta up my mouth but before I could get it in, a hand slammed against the table. “No one is eating until Katherine arrives.” He spat and I lowered my fork, confused. “But it’s been fifteen minutes and she isn’t here yet.” As much as I love to see him continue raging, it’s a matter of my stomach and I’m starving
KATHERINE Derek was at it. I wasn’t wrong. With him, I can never be wrong. If I hadn’t shown up on time, I wonder how could have happened. “You came? You shouldn’t have bothered.” Derek took his raincoat off the chair’s beck and started walking out of the dinning hall, angered. I know he’s thinking I intentionally didn’t want to show up. I looked at untouched food and I hated how my wolf instantly poured the blame on me. He didn’t eat anything, which means he was waiting for me. Things have turned around and in the bad person again. “And you. I told you not come to out of your room didn’t I? Now are you satisfied seeing what you caused?” I faced Bryson pointedly.“I actually didn’t come to fight him. He started it. I thank the goddess you came just in time, anyway. He would have battered me uo again and you know how things are, no one dare lift his hand on Hybrids.” He said. He sat back down and with dismay, I stood there while he dug into the food.Meanwhile he’s going to be th
KATHERINE That was embarrassing. Especially since he had said it in the presence of Bryson whom instead of being annoyed over the wrong winked and continued apply the ice, ignoring my protest. There’s something strange about him lately. I can’t pinpoint it no matter how much I try. “It’s fine. It no longer hurt.” I said, lying skillfully and this time, I didn’t persist. The night got done and over with and I almost sighed with relief until when Lyra caused me outside, saying we have to speak. It’s been a while I’ve seen her around. She’s not assigned to me anymore since months, which explains why. “I see the relationship between you and Eva and although I shouldn’t be here speaking behind her back, I don’t think you’re doing the right thing relying on her again. You know how it ended the last time, and I hope you still remember the history between her and the Hybrid King.” She told me. My eyes squinted as I focused on my nails, taking in what she’s just to later realize she’s
KATHERINE He stilled against my touch. One side eye from the lady and I threw my hand back by my side. The return of Derek’s ex- mate. As the minutes dragged on, I found myself becoming increasingly agitated. Despite my efforts to remain calm and composed, I felt as if I were on the brink of a breakdown. I wonder why. I don’t understand why things are suddenly happening this way. He’s mad at her, which explains she had done something in the past that she shouldn’t have, which led to his heartbreak. Also since he might never have a second chance mate, he needed a breeder. Everything just clicked. “Who is she?” She asked, looking toward Derek for an answer. “She’s the one who ought to ask you who you are.” He answered before I could speak then he pointed her out to his men, “I want her out of here.” I stood frozen, witnessing the scene. The guard approached her, to forcibly throw her away from the house but she refused to back down. She glared at them defiantly. And that was al
KATHERINE “Get your hands off me!” My sanity is at risk. The pain shooting through my hand was incomparable and yet all she did was snarl. “Next time. Know who you’re dealing with!” She shouted.Instead of answering her, I didn’t hesitate and gave her an unexpected kick to anywhere my hand could reach. Her hand instantly jerked out of my hand, as her face turned red, not believing what I had just done.“You will regret this, I promise you.” She threatened, writhing in pain. I was completely confused and even wish I could ask her what she means but she’s in pain, and the least I can do is let her enjoy it. I realized now I had swung my fist at her stomach and I’m not even the slightest bit sorry for that. I gave her what she deserved. “Remember to lock the door on your way out.” I scoffed dismissively, but looked back at her when I reached the door, “And nice dress by the way.” It was impossible but I wasn’t going to give up on her either just like she won’t give up on Derek. I
KATHERINE I woke up in the morning and met myself inside my room. A reason I almost believed last night was a dream until I raised my duvet up and looked at my unclothed body. I smiled.Although it was swept off my face when I heard Bryson slamming his body against the door from outside. My eyes widened and I quickly jumped out of bed to find any cloth at all to get into. After I was done and luckily, he hasn’t brought down the door, I went to unlock the door. “Thank goodness. Are you hurt?” He scanned every where, both my face and across my body. “Why were you outside?” I asked, confused. “Derek sent me out forcefully last night and I think he brought you inside but I couldn’t do anything. He locked me out and I had to sleep outside of the door for the night. I hope he didn’t touch you?” He looked worried. If only he knew. I wonder how disappointed he would be at me. I would have felt so guilty if my scent has been masked and he is my mate but I had just slept with another m
KATHERINE No one can convince me Bryson hasn’t left me alone here. I mean, what else can explain him not showing up for one whole week. If I wasn’t heavily pregnant, I would have gone out to find me. I tried— the guards all refused to let me out unless I have taken permission from their King. It’s as if they’ve forgotten Bryson and Derek aren’t best of friends. They despise each other so strongly that I wonder what other way I should present things to him that he would allow me without mincing words. Moreso, I didn’t plan to go alone. Someone of his men can come with me. The woods is a dangerous place to parade alone. “He’s not a small kid, I hope you know that. He’s going to come back when he’s ready.” When I gathered up the cottage to meet him, that was what he told me. I have a feeling he knew the reason why Bryson angrily left. He wa there when it happened. I in fact was the one who wanted to kiss him, which caused Bryson’s disappearance up till now. I wasn’t about to refres
