KATHERINE “I didn’t break a bone, did I?” Imagine an emergency your brother fell from the staircase and lost his consciousness but coming in, the first thing you heard him ask was whether or not he broke a bone. I tried not to let him see how pissed I am but, how could he be so careless?“You ain’t thankful you got to wake up after the accident. All you’re concerned about is if you broke a bone. Do you know even how scared I was?” I asked, and inwardly facepalmed myself. Looking back at him, I scoffed with annoyance dripping off my words, “And yes, you broke many bones, not just one.”“Crap!” He almost jumped out of the bed over the false revelation and seeing everything was alright with me, he looked pointedly at me and all I did was sigh. I was scared. I can’t remember the kind of flight I took here but even in my state, I ran incredibly fast… which is dangerous and could have gotten Derek mad if he was there to witness it. All in one, I’m grateful he’s alive. Just baffled over
KATHERINE “And what are you doing?”I spun around, my cheeks warming with embarrassment. I hadn’t meant to get caught snooping, especially by Bryson whom I barely see this days. And I definitely wasn’t ready to reveal my newfound sensitivity to scents. Not yet at least. Not until I understood what was happening and have made sure this wasn’t an hallucination. “I noticed the door was open and I just wanted to see if he was in.” I looked back at the door and then darted my eyes back at him. Since he had no reason to feel like I was deceiving him, he nodded and internally I was relieved.But the incident stayed the whole day without leaving my mind and I wasn’t going to be let go either. I badly want to see the hybrid king and confirm this once again. What has puzzled me the most now was not sensing anything in the air while Bryson came to me the other time. Is it possible there’s someone playing these tricks on me? Based on my calculations and everything, I have guaranteed myself
"Andrew, what are you doing here?" A mixture of rage and surprise was what my voice was twisted in. I just couldn't understand what I was feeling but I wished that there was a way I flew from the face of this Earth and disappeared with my children to an unknown place.A place where no one would ever find us again."Nice to see you too." He smiled broadly as my kids came running into my arms."Nice kids you've got there although I presume that from what they told me, their father is no where close by." He started and I ignored him, wrapping my hands over my lovely children, Hazel and Hansel."How was school today my lovelies?" I asked totally ignoring Andrew as I placed a soft kiss on their forehead each."It was wonderful, we found dad." Hansel bursted out and my eyes widened in shock."What do you mean? Who told you that?" I questioned hurriedly while Sonia approached us knowing the gravity of the situation."He did. He told us that he was our father, he took us for.a treat and got u
KATHERINE He sneaks in and out, so subtly no one would know. Not even I when I decided to wake up at dawn, thinking I’d be able to catch any of his movement only to realize one of his cars is missing at the parking lot. He’s gone. The longer this takes, the more unbearable it gets for me. And worse, I can’t tell Bryson yet. Staring up at the sky helplessly, Derek’s growl echoed in my head once again, “I can’t catch your scent. Your nose could have been possibly playing a trick on youso please… do not talk about this anymore. There’s a very low possibility of us happening.” He had warned. “I’m back now to take care of you.” Marina was saying hours later but I pleaded with her with my eyes, and when she complied and stop speaking, I can’t help but sigh.I’ve been bottling up the urge to not tell anyone the recent occurrence between the hybrid and I but it’s as well harder keeping it all to myself with no one to share it with. Perhaps, I’d be able to get an advice out of it. I don’
KATHERINE “You called for me.” Standing before him, I said without looking up. When it came to mind the rate at which I had shoved myself out of bed to come to him, it has me grinning so stupidly. He’s in control of my mind now and I can’t deny. And my nostrils… it’s not helping since all that clouded it since I stepped inside his chamber has been his scent. Maybe, just maybe whoever had masked my scent suddenly decided to repent, finding my life utterly boring. Or maybe, nothing has been really done or should I say fully activated? Derek can’t sense my scent so it’s practically useless I can sense his.He’s not believing me. In fact, he finds the paring of us ridiculous. And I gave decided to take my mind of things for the time being and just go with the flow like Marina had advised me. At the end of the day, things might sort itself out or maybe not? “I have a three days event that’s outside of the pack in which you’ll be coming with me. That too, without opposing.” When he fi
KATHERINE I remained behind him as he led the way inside the tall, giant building. I made sure I wasn’t faster than him, that too, all because of guilt. When I held his hand back at the car, he was just like a scorching hot fire. The rate at which I snapped my hand away from his still laid fresh in my memory… And the look he gave me was one that could have casted me under the ground, to die there and never come out. I know, that was very stupid of me but the deed had been done before I realized it. I almost crashed my head against his back when he stopped abruptly before a door at the least expected time. “Lead her to her room.” He casually signaled one of the men around before disappearing inside the room, closing the door behind him. I can’t believe I was going to follow him. That was how I would have embarrassed myself for the second time today. I was taken to my own room that has a big sized bed in which I slumped on, exhausted from today’s ride. I seriously can’t believe
KATHERINE “I’m going to kill them.” I grumbled lowly to myself. I understand this was a party, with a huge crowd at that, which is expected, but despite being at a corner, that doesn’t stop the narcissistic men who wouldn’t mind their business from flocking around me. And as if they were sent to take my life, they don’t only come to force words out of me, they also offer me drinks. Besides the fact it could have been drugged, I still have Derek’s warning at the back of my mind and I don’t want to disappoint him. I might see him as a forgiving person because there’s a pregnancy to manipulate him with, but it won't always work. No one knows what to expect. Then again, I don’t want to take anything that will pose a threat to my child. “Leave, please.” I forced out between gritted teeth to yet another while trying to keep my calm. But he didn’t take the hint. He opened his mouth to speak again and that was when I lost it. “Leave!” I screamed and suddenly the entire party’s attent
KATHERINE “Don’t tell me you did this because… you’re jealous?” Derek asked, his eyes mainly focused on me. Whereas mine was glued to the floor, where the door now lies. I still can’t get over the shock that reverberated my body when he brought the door down. Not just a door but one belonging to an hotel. I know he’s stinking rich but this wasn’t a door he keratin can just bring down anyhow. I get… it’s my suite but I’m not worried since he’d be the one to eventually pay for the damage but the fact that he caused the damage because of me is terrifying. And unacceptable.“That’s what you’re concerned about? You brought down a door for goodness sake.” I almost screamed as I looked back at him. “Tell me why you locked the door and refused to open knowing full well I was worried.” He shoved away my comment and stated, looking so serious and defiant. Knowing full well he wasn’t going to back down until I have answered, I sighed, “I want a breathing space that’s why I locked the door.
