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.
KATHERINE The rate at which I froze was astonishingly. I didn’t even get to realize when I got flung onto his laps. It just happened. Like a lightening. “The… driver might be watching.” I stammered. I’m so desperate I can say whatever as long as that gets me off this position. “Let him.” He replied with a low grunt, snatching my hands into his grip so I wouldn’t move. My head dropped, staring at my caged hands that are locked in his. And then I realized something, I had moved so much on his lap that I can actually feel his crotch against my butt. Holy fuck. I can feel that part of my body actually becoming yet and that’s the most scary thing ever in this situation. I was wearing the same dress for last night event, one that doesn’t reach the knee with thin fabric… I’m scared he’s going to feel my wetness. Then mock me with me? Damn. How long would the ride be until we arrive home? Thirty minutes ? Oh no, this is one of the few times I really wish I had a super power to telepo
KATHERINE “What do you mean, Bryson?” As I asked him, trying to keep my face straight, the rate at which my heart beats escalated by his passing of seconds was alarming. And that’s possibly because he was right and I’m finding a way to deny and pretend I know nothing about what he was talking about. “Where did you go yesterday? Without telling me, Kathrine. I’m sorry for asking but then, don’t you think you’re changing towards me lately?” He asked, his eyes staring deep into my eyes as if wishing he could mop away the confusion I have written on my face. My hands crossed before me, not allowing him see how sweaty they have become because… I’m nervous and I hope he doesn’t see it. Just when I got out of the hybrid’s room, I had collided into Bryson and… I instantly lost my breath. I didn’t expect him to be here or for him to search for me. Neither was I expecting the hurt look I came across on his face. Now he’s asking me where I had gone to and slowly, bit by bit, he would hit
KATHERINE “Wait don’t tell me you’re leaving.” I asked a little scared. He turned and to my surprise he shook his head, “No I’m not. At least not until all of this ends.” It was the first time I heard him sound insecure. “I’m sorry I kept it away from you.” Looking down, I mumbled what came out of my mouth. When I heard nothing from him I was forced to look at him and found him waiting for me to finish so I did, “I wasn’t sure of how that will make you feel. I also don’t want feed you with something false so I decided to wait until I’m sure I can’t sense your scent truly.” I mustered all the physical and mental strength I possessed to answer. I didn’t expect he’d discover I was hiding this from him. I didn’t even tell anyone- expect Marina and she’s not close with him. In fact, it’s no news they are enemies. He must have had his way. It must have been the place he said he would be taking me. I couldn’t have stopped him from ongoing right? Just that him discovering on his own is m
KATHERINE “Yes I called you. But she is the one who wants to see you.” He nodded and his gaze shifted towards me, a finger pointed in my direction and my eyes widened in surprise. I shook my head fervently, trying to say that this was some kind of mistake. But before I could protest further, George had already exited, leaving me alone with Bryson.I closed my eyes, mentally racing for a plan to rectify this situation and get back at my brother for the unexpected betrayal. How could he do this to me? We were just speaking and suddenly, he invited Bryson over? I hope he doesn’t come close to me for the rest of today or else, I won’t have a choice but give him a payback. Just as I opened my eyes, my mouth opened and my voice cut through the thick tension between us. "Uhm, I didn't call you, actually." My words trailed off, leaving an awkward silence when I finished. I looked away from him as fast as possible and hearing no sound from him, my eyes fully snapped open, locking onto B
XAVIERI stood in my chamber, surrounded by the rogues who had once trembled beneath Derek's rule. Their eyes now burned with a hunger for revenge- a reason they didn’t think back on coming to me- and I knew I had them right where I wanted. "Derek's reign ends soon. The throne will be ours." I declared to everyone around. Marcellus, my father, nodded in approval beside me while Vivian, my mother, smiled sweetly, her eyes gleaming at our discussion. The rogues murmured among themselves, their faces twisted with a kind of anticipation and I immediately knew they'd do anything to see Derek fall.As I scanned the room, my gaze fell on Victor, the rogue leader. His scarred face and cold eyes made him the perfect ally."Victor, are your men prepared?" I asked."We are infiltrating the castle guards. Derek's security will be breached. Soon…" He nodded. I smiled, satisfaction coursing through my veins. This was it – the moment we'd been planning for months.My father stepped forward, and
KATHERINEI stood by the corner, watching as Bryson exited his building. His tall frame moved with that calm confidence I had always admired, but today it only got me feeling suspicious. He had told me not to contact him until I had delivered the child growing inside me, as if that would somehow simplify everything between us. But I needed to know where he was going, why he hadn't distanced himself so sharply the moment we learned about the baby but is now because he saw me coming out the Hybrid's room. Maybe it was reckless, maybe even foolish, but I couldn’t help myself. I slipped into the a corner as he walked down the street, then i tried keeping my distance as I followed. His long strides carried him effortlessly, while I struggled to maintain enough distance without losing him altogether. My heart raced, with some kind of fear, but my focus remained entirely on Bryson. I had to know what he was hiding, where he was going now that he had chosen to push me away. He finally tu
{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
