Katerina: My heart skipped a beat when I heard his words of gratitude. His hands which were still on my waist loosened as he allowed me to leave, watching as I walked to the bathroom. I couldn’t help but bite my bottom lip as I tried preventing my smile from growing. The Italian men’s faces were still stuck in my head as I recalled how they looked at me and why Nathan got pissed off in the first place. I shook my head at myself as I washed my hands and face, frowning when I pressed on the bruise before catching sight of how purple it became. I sighed and walked out of the bathroom. I still didn’t know how bad my stomach or back were, but I could feel the ache with each step I took as the effect of the painkiller wore off, reminding me of its time. Nathan walked into the bathroom after I walked out, giving me my privacy to change my clothes into comfortable pajamas. The idea of wearing anything that was tight on my body made me cringe; therefore, I settled on wearing a loose whi

Nathan:I sat on the couch in the living room as Katerina’s words played in my head. The way she looked at me, and the pain in her eyes wasn’t something that I could miss. However, the fact that she hid what happened from me wasn’t something that I could accept either. In reality, she was right, whatever happened between her parents and her did not concern me.But when it came to THEM, it did. These people were people that I would rather die than trust; therefore, knowing that something has happened in MY house without me hearing about it was something that I did not want to allow.I sighed and straightened when I heard her coming inside the living room. Her heartbeat raced as she walked to sit beside me, looking down at her lap as she did “I’m sorry for being as rude as I was. My intentions were never to upset you. However, I wasn’t aware that you would care this much about my issues with my family, especially since you two are not on the best of conditions”She waited for a minute,

Katerina:I woke up to an empty bed.I could smell Alpha Nathan’s scent in the house, and could hear him talking, but I knew for fact that he didn’t sleep inside the room last night.His mother’s words still played in my head as I got out of bed, and her calling me a whore for his bed was something that I couldn’t miss. The way she had looked at me when she entered the house yesterday during breakfast broke me, and seeing that, I stayed in the room almost throughout the whole day yesterday.I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, freshening up as I got lost in my thoughts. The fact that Nathan didn’t even know of the reason behind me letting go of the scholarship was why he was treating me so coldly, and seeing as I couldn’t tell him about it, I knew that he would keep doubting me.I walked out of the bathroom and opened the closet. I chose a white top and black jeans. Putting them on and getting ready, my mind went back to Inna’s words about me not fulfilling my duties as Luna a

Nathan:I took Katerina’s hand in mine, knowing for fact that mom and everyone in the pack would be watching. Katerina froze, looking down at our joined hands before holding my hand back, forcing her body to somewhat relax.“Well, it seems like the little Luna chose to finally leave her house” mom stated the second she laid eyes on us. Her statement caught sight of most of the pack members, earning a glare from Vitaly before I could even say a word, and seeing as the two of us weren’t talking since what she said yesterday, I wanted to try and fix things with her; however, it seemed like mom had plans of her own.“I was the one who allowed her to, mother” I said, giving her a silent warning. I was not one to argue or disrespect mom in front of the pack members, but I still wanted her to respect my mate. The two of us may have our conflicts, but those were between HER and I, no one was allowed to interfere.“I hope you’re well, Inna” Katerina said, nodding at mom, keeping her eyes on h

Katerina:My heart dropped to my stomach as I heard the Alpha’s order. His eyes were fixed on me when I turned to face him, waiting for me to fulfill what he said “anyone could easily…”“They won’t, and if they do, you are MY Luna, and as your Alpha, I have the right to tell you to strip. Me being decent and considerate about your feelings aren’t a must” Nathan said, nodding at me to do what he said. My hands shook as I went to take my shirt off, knowing that delaying it would only anger him. Frowning at the sight of my bruised abdomen, and knowing that my back was just as bruised, I couldn’t help but feel insecure about it.I slowly took my shirt off, closing my eyes as goosebumps started rising down my arms. I slowly fiddled with my pants’ buttons before taking them off, staying in both my bra and panties. My heart raced when I opened my eyes to find Nathan stripping his own clothes off, staying in only his boxers. I let out a breath of relief when I saw that he threw his belt to th

Nathan:“Any news from Donatello?” I asked Carter who shook his head. We had our men roaming around, searching for news about the Italian; however, the man seemed to have disappeared, like literally, no news of him was found anywhere. “Not at all, some say that he went back to Italy, but we haven’t found any records of him going to the airport, and his planes are all here. He’s probably at his mansion, or having something new for his new businesses” I nodded, chewing the inside of my mouth before dismissing Carter. I still had four meetings to go today, and knowing that one of my main investors and allies wouldn’t be there was a problem that I didn’t want to think of dealing with. The idea of having a Lycan, a wolf that could control his shifting, as an enemy was not something that I wanted to deal with.“Keep your search going, I don’t want to find surprises up my front door…”“You needn’t worry, Nathan, if I wanted to kill you, I would have shifted back to the club” Donatello said,

Katerina:I sat beside Nathan throughout the night, wrapping my arms around myself as I looked around the happy family.The fact that I felt out of place wasn’t something that broke me, but I knew that I couldn’t blame any of them. I barely just entered their pack, and this was the first time I’ve had dinner with them. “Katerina…” Nathan said, running his finger over my knee.“Yes?” I asked. Nathan wrapped his arm around me, pulling me to his chest as he ran his hand over my shoulder, gently massaging it.“What’s going on, Katerina?” He asked, his voice just over a whisper. I looked at Inna who raised an amused eyebrow, and I knew that had it not been Vitaly who was sitting beside her, she would have thrown a smart comment to embarrass me.“Can we pretend that our marriage is real, just for tonight?” I asked, looking up at him “I’m not feeling too well with myself. I don’t know, it’s just…”Nathan kissed my temple as he wrapped both arms around me, pulling me on his lap, not caring a

Nathan:I smiled at the sight of Katerina who stood in front of the window, looking at the pack members as they trained.She wore nothing but a white, sleeveless night gown that reached her mid thighs. The bruises on her back were mostly healed now, her wolf speeding her healing process for her. I got out of bed and walked toward her, wrapping my arms around her from the back, taking her off guard as I pulled her to my chest. Gently kissing her cheek, I rested my chin over her shoulder, looking at the confused woman who stood in my arms. “Good morning” I whispered to her “how are you feeling?”Her plea last night played in my head as she asked for one night to forget that our marriage was something that we both didn’t want. Seeing as she was happy and somewhat content with what we did, I couldn’t help but want our life to be the way it is.“Morning” Katerina said, looking at me “I’m fine, thank you”She turned around in my arms, her cheeks reddening when she realized that I still ke

Nathan: I watched as my mate sat by the window, processing what she has lived through over the past few weeks. “How is she?” Mom asked, approaching me. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, not knowing how to answer. My beauty lost her mom the same way she lost her father years ago. Both wanted to kill her, and both had to be killed to be stopped. “I don’t know, mom” I said honestly “she is not talking, and we both know why, so I don’t know what I can do at this point” Mom and I, despite the gap that we had, I knew that I had to be thankful that she at least, fought to protect me instead of putting me in the face of danger, wanting to kill me. I had seen my woman go from her strongest of states to her weakest, and at this point, I didn’t even know how to tend to that. “She just needs you by her side. The two of you have been through…” “You haven’t seen her when I did. The man broke her face, literally broke it. Had it not been for Alexander’s blood in her system, the bones

Katerina:To say that I did not trust her would not be a lie.But the last thing I expected was for my mother to be as cold hearted as to send me to my enemy with her own hands, along with my brother, to be killed.“Kat…”I didn’t bother looking at Donatello let alone respond to him. I didn’t blame him for wanting to trust her. I couldn’t do that, but I hated the fact that he chose to be as harsh as he was to me as he defended her, only for me to be the one who was right and to pay the price for it.“I trust that you still have the cat holding your tongue?” Domenico said, entering the cell that he kept us. He looked at me before putting on a few rings. Fuck, I knew that this was going to hurt. And approaching me, he stood in front of me for a second before punching me in the face, making my eyes widen in surprise as I felt my jaw break. I was actually surprised that my teeth didn’t, but I knew that it would be a matter of time before that happened. “How about we manage to loosen it u
Alpha Nathan Chapter 103
Nathan:Katerina was quiet throughout the rest of the planning, mostly because her mother and brother were here, and knowing how tensed up things were, she knew not to risk saying a word that could lead to an issue. “So, in other words, Katerina would be the one to kill Domenico, to prevent him from killing her and Donatello” Ariana asked, and I nodded. "Yes, and it all has to be done on the night of the eclipse. I am not sure how he would be luring Donatello toward him, but he would have to kill him on that night. Otherwise, the Lycan dies, and all that he’s been plotting would pretty much be for nothing” I said, and the woman nodded.“Why not just keep him in the house? Have Domenico die anyway”“He would do something that would drag him there whether or not he likes it, and I can assume that it would have something to do with Katerina. The issue is not that we can handle the bastard not killing Donatello, the main concern is that he could, and he would, try hurting the kids and m

Katerina:I sat on the edge of the bed as I took a deep breath, processing everything that went on this long day.Nathan, who knew that I was upset, didn’t speak for a while, knowing that I needed my space. But in truth, I actually needed him. I needed his arms to wrap around me, and I needed him to hold me close.He entered the room, having gone to check on the kids, and I got up from bed to hug him. Again, he didn’t say a word, but his embrace was enough to tell me that I was not alone. He kissed the crown of my head, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds, purring as to comfort me before pulling away to look me in the eye.“He was angry, Katerina, and you can’t expect otherwise. Your brother, as strong as he is, also has a breaking point, and he too has been under too much pressure. He would eventually understand” Nathan whispered and I nodded, knowing that he was right. It was just that his words were a bit too harsh for me to simply accept.“I understand, love” I said, t

Nathan:I frowned when I saw my wife sitting out on Elijah’s porch, staring into space.Her eyes met mine, and taking a deep breath, she got up from the chair and walked toward me.I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her into a hug, before pulling away to look her in the eye.“Something happened, didn’t it?”“Domenico, happened” Katerina said, and I frowned, shaking my head at the fact that he had the audacity to show up. “we are going to need to go home though. I just got into an argument with Elijah, and I do not intend to face him right now. The man was being too much of a prick for me to stay quiet about it”“What happened?” Alexander, who was behind me, asked, frowning in confusion.“Nothing to worry about. The man is not used to someone talking back at him, and I had to be the one to do it. Anyway, how did things go from your side? Domenico would not be approaching this house for a while, but we need to be careful about ours, and the kids” Katerina asked, trying to change the s
Alpha Nathan Chapter 100
Katerina:The house’s door barged open, Elijah’s, to be more specific, revealing a furious Domenico.Caterina, Elijah, and I were sitting in the living room, waiting for him to show up.“What the fuck?”“Hello to you too, Domenico” Elijah said calmly. Caterina went to stand up, but Elijah shook his head at her, motioning for her to stay seated. Her heart raced, and I knew that she feared the Lycan. I stayed still, watching the scene before my eyes, knowing that things weren’t go as peaceful as Elijah would have hoped his home would be in, but we all knew that things had to go down, and they had to do so fast if we were to get out of the bullshit of the Lycan.“What the fuck are you guys up to? Huh? Do you think that the stupid wolves would keep you safe…?” Elijah let out a low warning growl before taking a step toward the Lycan, towering over his body, his authority, despite his calmness, was one that was intimidating, and seeing Domenico’s fear in his eyes, I knew that I didn’t want

Nathan: “So, in short, you need Domenico dead before the next eclipse which is in five days' time” Elijah said, looking at me. “Exactly, if we can manage doing that, then we would…” “There is no if, in this one, Nathan” Alexander said, stopping me “if the man does not die, he will kill you all, Caterina, then turn to us; therefore, if you do not trust that you can face him, I suggest that you just let us know now” “I take it that you are actually excited about killing him” I said, raising an eyebrow at the vampire. “The prick has done us all more damage over the years than should have been considered acceptable. So, to answer your question, yes, I am more than willing to kill him” Alexander said casually “as for you getting the last name, I do know that since you are married, you wouldn’t need the bloodline, but we can find a way to alternate the history…” “The last thing I can care about right now is whether or not I carry the Grimaldi last name, Alexander, and I believe that y
Alpha Nathan Chapter 98
Katerina:Alexander froze as he took sight of Caterina, his lover, standing in front of him.Whatever the real story behind their relationship was, I could tell that this was the last thing he ever thought that he would be facing. “Cat…?”“I know that you never liked me being around your son, Alberto” Caterina said, not caring about looking at Alexander, or in other words, Giuliano, who was still processing her presence. Her eyes were fixed on Elijah whose eyes were wide in surprise as his heart raced “you changing your name would not mean that you have changed who you are, and you going from country to country to hide your son never meant that Domenico would not find him. As you can see, and have noticed, he has, and he has followed you here, forcing you one again to submit to him. I believe that you are aware…”“First of all, I am not hiding my son from anyone. He is strong enough to fight anyone who can stand in his way, and the Lycan fucking knows that and is living because WE ar

Nathan:I smiled at Carter who was heading toward the car with his mate and child.My chest ached, but I knew that it was for the best to ensure their safety. Plus, they had their part to take care of in Russia, as a Pakhan, we all knew that we had our duties here and there. He would be my eyes and ears there, and he would be the one in charge of ensuring that things go as planned while he was there.He turned to face me after Jade and his baby got inside the car, and smiling, he walked toward me to hug me tightly. I hugged him back, the memories of us running around this house’s garden played in my head. Us going to school, growing up. All what we’ve been through just seemed to repeat itself as we pulled away to look one another in the eye. I knew that it was not a goodbye. As brothers by choice, it would never be; however, until we have united again, I knew that these memories were ones that we would be holding on to."Keep them safe, yeah?” I asked, and he nodded.“And you, them” h
