SELINEI have nowhere to go. All that I have left was my car and there’s no way I can sleep in it comfortably without having a nightmare. I know I have fucked up. I don’t need to be reminded. The man I left Derek for had an accident with the child I had for him. My parents wouldn’t welcome me back into their room, according to them, I betrayed their trust. How I what they know I didn’t only betrayal them but my ex mate- Derek too. I miss him so much now that no body would accept me. Not even him. Nevertheless, I headed to his house. With a simple lie that he invited me over, I was let me but I didn’t expect what was before my eyes. My hand slipped from my suit case as I struggled to say something. Which never came. Derek and his breeder, together. She was practically laying on top of him before she jumped up after seeing me. I want to assume she forced herself on him since he looks asleep, but his hands ain’t leaving hers. Tears clouded my face. Is this how I will lose my mate t
KATHERINE It was today I understand cooking is another way to pour out one’s frustration. My knife sliced through the vegetables with aggressiveness, also almost chopping off the chopping board.As I continued, my mind wouldn’t stop filling itself with thoughts of Silene's return. She'd said she would come back and she really did. So stupid of me to think she was joking when she meant it. What cut deeper was that he knew – he'd known all along. Or what else can explain why she’s still inside of the house roaming free? Admitted Derek was fast asleep last night when he came, but he ought to have been awake by now. My hand moved against the night and suddenly , it slipped, and I barely avoided cutting myself. That was what jolted me out of my thoughts and my breath got stuck in my throat.I froze, the mid-air. The vegetables lay scattered, some sliced cleanly. This is what happens when I get invested in someone. He shouldn’t be my focus but Bryson, my soon to be mate. It’s more lik
KATHERINE “Oh goddess, give me patience or an untraceable handgun.” I prayed, frustration making me want to scream but instead I closed my eyes and concentrated on taking a deep breath. This. This is threatening to drive me nuts. I thought he was just going to throw her out until he had to summon me over and involve me. As I stood in front of beautiful Seline, I inwardly muttered a soft ‘I’m dead’. The Hybrid King was holding my hand, and I don’t know what else he’s doing right now other than inviting trouble. “She’s going to give me the heir you couldn’t. What else do you think I need you here for?” He stated, his stance confident and his voice dripping with disdain toward her. “I’m your first love, Derek. You can’t easily forget me.” She said, and I wonder how she can be so calm in this situation. She looked so sure of what she’s just said. Immediately, I badly wanted to excuse them but he isn’t leaving me- no matter how much I try to tug my wrist out of his grasp. “How are y
KATHERINE Eva is threatening me. I know that much. If she wants to publicize this to the world, she’s good to go. Maybe I can actually stop being afraid over nothing. We weren’t even doing anything. If anyone did something wrong, it’s the king. “If they would love to hear about whatever it is you saw, who am I to stop you?” I actually wag my brow at her confidently.“Seriously?” She looked like she didn’t believe I didn’t care about it. Perhaps she’s thinking I’m pretending. A sigh left me and I rested my hands on top of the counter, curling my fingers around the edges. “I deserve some peace.” “Actually I was joking with you.” I watched her pause for a bit before breaking into a grin. I don’t have to look through her before I know she’s lying… she meant it but seeing how I was unfazed by her, she dismissed it. When I reached my room, the composure was gone. I’m panicking right now trying to conceal how nervous his recent charges is making me feel nervous, whereas he’s unbothere
KATHERINE “No. No, please. Not my former pack!” I cried out.It feels as if my hair will get ripped off my scalp in no time. Struggling not to make my back come in contact with the ground, I threw my legs in the air in continuous protest.He’s not listening. We reached his car and I was thrown inside the backseat by his men, who tied my hands today instantly and then the car zoomed off. I realized he didn’t join us inside this car but took another which followed closely behind us. That increased my panic. How did I cross the little thin line left of me? The car raced through the woods, and my butt stayed frozen against the seat. Meanwhile in the front seat, the driver faced ahead, his face giving nothing away. My heart was synching with the roar of the car’s engine. I can feel it. When the car took a sharp turn, it threw me against the door and my breath got stuck in my throat. Luckily, the driver quickly got on the right path. I sighed at my doom. My eyes also watered at how
KATHERINE “I didn’t save you so that you can start… clinging onto me!” His jaw ticked and the way he stared at me made my stomach deepen. I stopped walking. He’s right that since he caught me from falling, I haven’t given him even a tiny feet space. One, it’s the woods and his closeness provides me security. Two; He’s the one drawing me in, closer than I want. His deodorant is incredible. And powerful. As he moved around the woods, glancing back grumpily at me from time to time, I noted the way he walked with an aura of dominance. I can see his muscles rippling from under his shirt. His shoulders are so damn broad. He’s so… good looking. And I’m such a… pervert. “Can you slow down, please? I’m exhausted.” I spoke up when my legs began to tremble. I raced faster seeing he wasn’t ready to stop, and I couldn’t help but smile when I have successfully overtaken him. He stalked past me, “You can get lost for all I care. Just not with my child.” He snarled.He’s so bossy. But that made
KATHERINE “You?” My eyebrow went up. I can’t remember where I got these bruises from but King Derek isn’t exactly out of the option. He can do anything, after all. “I didn’t touch you.” He was watching me in an unnerving way, and I gradually swallowed hard when he pointed downward. “You know what? I want to see your stomach?” Laughter filled my chest, brewing it so fully I find his words so hilarious. He wants to take a look at my stomach in here in the woods? With his men surrounding us? Impossible. “I have no bruise there. You don’t have to worry.” I quickly said. He scoffed and when he stepped nearer, I stumbled, and fell forward, into his chest. My heart skipped a beat. He noticed it too and rather than pushing me away, his hand came upward to pat at my head. That action was enough for me to develop an extreme panic attack. Did he just—? No. Can’t be. I summoned the courage to tilt my head upward and I screamed. I’m fucking hugging him.I attempted pushing myself away. He
KATHERINE “I care less about you but you could have at least took in a breath and rethink before you went ahead to drag the poor girl round the woods only to bring her back like some joke. Fun fact, even a toddler wouldn’t act the way you just did. And you know what’s laughable? The fact a pregnant woman is all you could take your anger out on!”Anger was spiking in Bryson, and that is why I shouldn’t have opened the door or even stepped in. This isn’t anything I can handle. They never have a small fight. Words will keep on flying here and there and in a short time, blows too.They both turned their heads to look at me at the same time. I laughed, “Sorry I barged in unannounced. The noise was just too much I had to trace where it was coming from.”King Derek stared at me, brows furrowed. It’s like he knows I just said nothing but a ‘bullshit!’ Bryson on the other hand was trying not to glare at me, as he looked angry I had intentionally stopped their exchange. If only he knows I’m
