The next morning, after tossing and turning all night on the bed, trying to figure my way out of the hell hole, I woke up exhausted and in a fouler mood. The dark circles under my eyes seemed to throb in sync with my pounding headache. I decided to stay in all day, hoping to escape the chaos that had become my life. But a knock on the door prevented that from happening. At first, it was a gentle tap, but when I ignored it, the knocking grew louder and more insistent. I threw the covers over my head, hoping that whoever was knocking would quit it and leave, but that never happened. If anything, it grew more persistent, like a drumbeat in my brain.Frustrated, I sat up, my movements jerky, and climbed out of the bed. My feet stomped towards the door, my bare feet making soft slapping sounds on the cold floor. I flung the door open, ready to snap at whoever was behind it, but Arthur's jovial voice broke through my anger."Great morning to you, Katrina! How was your night?" His cheerful t
Something is wrong.Something is seriously wrong. The feeling of dread that had settled at the bottom of my stomach ever since I stepped foot into the pack house was growing bigger as I made my way to my wing. I clenched my teeth, feeling the unfamiliar stab of pain in my chest that seemed to grow worse as seconds ticked by. I was just coming back from the hospital where the doctor had confirmed once again that I wasn't pregnant after all the scares and false hopes that I might be. The thought brought a wave of sadness crashing through my being and I pursed my lips, my eyes glazing over with tears.I couldn't tell my husband and Alpha, Lucas on the phone so I opted to come home. But on my way, my chest began to hurt and I didn't know why. Well, I was about to find out. As I walked along the hallway that lead to our bedroom, I began to hear the dreadful sounds of bed creaking. I froze, My heart skiddering to a stop and I felt my blood run cold. Surely, I heard wrong. It couldn't be. Th
"Wait! Luna Katrina, please wait!" A voice called out to me as I started up my car, ready to drive out of the pack house. I turned to see Beta Eden chasing after me, his face flushed from all his running. He stopped right in front of me and I tried to rein in all of my tumultuous emotions before I did something I would truly regret."What! Here to mock me once more!?" I snapped at him, ignoring the intense urge to hit him with my car. He would survive it though, After all, he was the strongest soldier in our pack... Well, what used to be my pack."We didn't know... I didn't know this was what the Alpha was planning." He started to say, breathing heavily, his voice tinged with guilt. I narrowed my eyes at him."But you knew about Emery and the pregnancy?" I questioned. He bit his lips, his gaze clouded over with guilt."When... When I found out. The deed had already been done. Lucas had promised to inform you in a more suitable way." He said, his voice laced with guilt."And this was t
I should not be here. I don't know what I was thinking, seating down in a such a run down and overpopulated pub at the edge of town, drinking a glass of diluted beer. Surveying the crowd with displeasure, I let out a sigh and continued with my drink, my mood darkening as seconds ticked by. I had been heading straight to my hotel after a long day of business deals to go and get some rest when I had this overwhelming urge to come to this pub. I barely went to crowded places, so it was strange that I had such a need to be here. It felt so out of place. Regardless, I had walked in and as expected, nothing caught my interest. Still, I couldn't leave. The beast that resided within me, wouldn't let me leave. Unable to contend with it, I had gotten a seat at the obscure center of the pub and was quietly drinking, seemingly waiting for nothing. More people trooped in and out and the noise grew louder. This irritated my wolf, who absolutely loved quiet places but still I couldn't leave. Fin
Katrina.I don't know what I was thinking, letting myself to be swept off by this mysterious man that I just met. But the second our eyes met, there was pull I just couldn't deny. I had never felt anything like it before. He had asked me if I wanted to get out there and I found out that I could not say no. I couldn't believe myself. I have never been this lose before. Was this a result of the rejection I survived earlier today? I didn't know and honestly, I couldn't care less. The man before me was promising to give me a good time and I'll be damned if I refuse it."Yes... But only after we eat. I haven't add anything all day." I said, my speech slightly slurred due to the vast amount of alcohol I had downed this evening. He cocked an eyebrow at that statement."You haven't eaten and you've been drinking alcohol?" He asked, sounding slightly peeved. "Like I said, I was needing an escape from the dreadful pain I was feeling. This just turned out to be the perfect getaway. Until you sh
Katrina.I found myself in an hotel room.Correction, Nicholas and I found ourselves in an hotel room. And I had barely taken any steps in when he smashed his lips on mine, catching me by surprise and stealing my breath away. Only for a second though. I immediately closed my eyes, wrapping my hands around his neck as I pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. Nicholas groaned, the guttural sound causing liquid heat to flow through my veins.I pulled away quickly, breathing heavily as I stared into his emerald eyes that had taken a yellowish tint in the dark room. He was no ordinary human, there was no doubt about it. But I was in no mood to ask who the hell he was. I just wanted to feel and forget. Pressing my body against his, I slammed my lips on his and let him kiss me again, his tongue delving deeper into my mouth and his strong hands caressing my back. His coat tumbled to the floor, leaving only the thin dress I had on. Soft gasps escaped my lips as his grip on my waist tigh
Katrina.I watched with agonized rapture as Nicholas took of his clothes, his bulging muscles glowing in the dim lighting. My mouth went dry as my gaze fell upon the markings on his skin. They looked like drawings and they marked every part of his chest, down to his waist. I'm pretty sure they were at his back too. They were like nothing I'd ever seen. They definitely weren't tattoos. My fingers itched to touch his bare skin so I squeezed the bedsheets instead, swallowing the lump in my throat, my mouth dry."What are those?" I asked when I couldn't hide my curiosity any longer. The glint in his eyes became brighter but he just shook his head. "Nothing you need to concern yourself with, darling." He murmured, getting rid of his pants. I gasped when it fell to the ground and he walked out of the puddle of clothes, slowly making his way to the bed. The outline of his hardened cock still caged in his briefs made my pussy spasm, desire feeling like molten lava inside my skin. My heart be
I woke up with a start, a dull throbbing in my head as I was hit with the full force of a hangover. My unfocused gaze danced around the room, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings before settling on the floor-to-ceiling windows that adorned the hotel room. The faint blue streaks lining the sky told me it was almost dawn, and I groaned inwardly. What had I done? I tried to move, but my body protested heavily against the action, causing me to stifle a groan as soreness toppled over me like a ton of bricks. My muscles ached, my mouth was dry, and my head was spinning. I closed my eyes, trying to remember what had happened the night before. The events of the day before came flooding back, leading to this moment and I grimaced. I had been rejected by my mate, who had been cheating on me with my best friend and was even pregnant for him. The pain, betrayal and humiliation hurt me so much and I had tried to drown it in alcohol. And then...I remembered. I had hooked up with a random man I m
