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
KATHERINE “You’re still standing.” He asked me while deep down I wasn’t so sure. Which is because I can barely feel my body. Instead, the only thing obvious to me was the enlarged size of my eyes, that could’nt stay in their sockets this time. I want to pat my budged stomach and whisper, “It’s nothing. Just your father’s ex-mate on his couch.” But deep down, it was much more than that. The sight before me is a lot. Something more than I can look away from. The last time I checked, he didn’t want to have her inside and now, here she is, sleeping peacefully and sharing the same air as him. I doubt she appeared here on her own. How blind was I to have not noticed her earlier? He must have found me pretty ridiculous. Can’t believe I was just cracking jokes with him. Silly me was happy about the tension that went missing between us just a minute ago. And now, it’s back- shaking me apart.“Shit— sorry about that. I will leave now.” I snapped out of my thoughts finally and quickly sai
KATHERINE “W—why?”My cheeks are going pink and I looked embarrassed. I didn’t expect to be greeted by two cars so early in the morning just after receiving one last night. Was he jealous? That might sound ridiculous but that’s the only reason I can think of for him to pop up at my door with double of what I received from Bryson. It all feels like I game- me suddenly being an owner of three luxurious cars! Then again, I don’t think I’ll be taking it from him. It’s a lot. I don’t deserve it at all and in any way. “Felt like it. Will you keep me waiting?” He said and wire a painful expression I instantly noticed. He grunted when I raised an inquisitive brow, “My arm is becoming impatient.”I reached my hand out but drawed back. “No, I can’t take something this much.” I shook my head. He dropped his arm back to his side and then he sighed, impatience written all over his forehead. “It’s too much but do I throw it into an ocean now that it’s unwanted? Good, if that’s what you want.
KATHERINE “And look at them. So young and willing to get themselves killed.” Hybrid King Derek’s voice was thick, low, and unbearably raw as he sat himself down on a seat right in front of the rogues. Last night was expectational that I couldn’t have imagined this is what we were going to have to deal with the following morning. The pack hunters had apprehended them and brought them to the pack house. I was fast asleep beside Derek when I heard the pounding at the door and Derek slipping out of the bed. So, now here we are, Seline is also present to watch the scene. I looked back at the three men. They seemed to have been tied up at dawn which was probably the time they were caught. I was getting too comfortable-,maybe slightly worried too- in the pack because I have never witnessed any tantrum. Now it’s happening and I don’t know how to feel about that. They are unable to speak, their mouths have been blocked by balled tissues. So I waited until the command came. “Get words ou
{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
