Chapter 65

Katerina:

I ran my fingers through my hair as I processed Donatello’s words.

My heart raced as I sat on the edge of the bed, not wanting or willing to see anyone as I got lost in my thoughts.

The fact that my mother, the woman who had broken so much in me, was as near as wanting to see me was something that anyone else would have wanted. They would have wanted to at least try to get things cleared, I don’t know, try to understand why things happened the way they did; however, I wanted nothing more than to have my memory wiped.

Nathan’s scent filled my nostrils as he walked inside the house. I didn’t even know how I was to face him with what he just learned. To know that not only was I a daughter of a ‘mating’, no, I was in fact a bastard who came out of a scandal.

He knocked on the door twice before opening it, already knowing that I wouldn’t respond anyway, I couldn’t even look him in the eye if I tried.

He stopped in front of the door, not moving an inch, and for a seco

    Nathan:I smiled at my wife who just woke up wearing nothing but my shirt. The two of us having slept being exhausted, we didn’t bother taking a shower.It has been two weeks since Donatello told us about him being Katerina’s brother, and since then, it was like my wife was more than determined to fall asleep without a thought in mind but me. “Hi” she whispered, raising herself to look at me. I smiled, pulling her up, pecking her lips. I would be lying if I said that the two of us weren’t getting more intimate as days went by. If anything, the two of us were getting more and more lost in one another, forgetting that the world outside existed, and that had to be the best thing that has happened to us in a while.“Good morning to you too” I teased, raising myself to sit, resting my back against the bedrest. Katerina smiled, running her hand over my bare chest.“Ha, ha” she teased, checking her phone. I smirked when her eyes widened, realizing that it was a while past noon. It was the

    Katerina: My blood pumped faster than it ever has as I went from elder to the other, fighting them to keep our pack safe. The idea of losing the pack to the elders was not something that I wanted to think of, and seeing as I now understood why they wanted Donatello and the Lycans to be by their sides; I couldn’t stop my wolf from raging no matter how much I wanted to. My heart raced against my ribcage as the smell of blood filled my nostrils. Its metallic smell caused my wolf to growl as she grew excited, the smell alone was enough to trigger any wolf. I let out a low growl as Celeste approached me with a knife, attempting to stab me with it. However, the woman wasn’t fast enough to dodge the kick that had her stumbling down. Her eyes widened as she glared at me, her heart racing as she gripped the knife she had tighter, clearly wanting to slash me with it. She growled, getting up from the ground before Donatello jumped on her, in wolf form, attacking her neck, ripping it in half.

    Nathan:My heart raced against my chest as I looked at my father who stood in front of me, putting a hand in front of me, protecting me from the raging elders. The memory of me kicking him out of the pack years ago was still fresh in my mind, and despite it hurting me a lot back then; I never found myself apologizing to him for doing so. “I asked a fucking question” he said, glaring at one of the elders, Lawrence. The man bled from head to toe, but he stood his ground in front of my father, his heart racing as he feared the Pakhan attacking him. “Your son has crossed all limits…”“His name is Alpha Nathan, and I believe that you are well aware that this is HIS pack’s grounds” dad said, glaring at the man. My heart swelled with so many feelings that I didn’t know how to express. Mom kept her eyes on dad from a distance, her own heart racing as she looked at the man she grew up loving before she ended up fearing. I knew that he had hurt her a lot, and I knew that his abuse was the r

    Katerina:I watched as my father yelled at Carter, his tears falling from his eyes as he grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. He wouldn’t even give him a chance to explain or answer what he was asking, his heart racing as he shook him a few times.“Where is my daughter?” He asked again, his voice weakening. This being the first time I’ve seen him in this state, I couldn’t help but freeze at the sight, my heart breaking as Nathan and I walked through the door. Nathan let out a low growl, wrapping his arm around me, and pulling me back a bit. His growl seeming to catch dad’s attention, we both watched as he let Carter go before taking a step toward us. His eyes met mine and I frowned, wanting to take a step back only for Nathan to hold me close, stopping me from moving as he stood in front of my father. My heart raced and I found my hands shaking as I anticipated what he would do. The last thing I ever expected to hear was him worrying about me, and needless to say, I knew that h

    Nathan:To say that dad’s words set me off guard was not an underestimation.The last thing I ever expected from him was an acknowledgement like that and knowing that he rarely ever gave compliments; I knew that he was speaking words of truth.Katerina kept her eyes on her dad’s lifeless body as Gala and the girls came to fix the room, knowing that they needed to clean up the blood stain before it stuck.“Gala, darling, have his body sent back to the house. Eleanor would be annoyed and angry, but she would at least know to bury her husband according to tradition” Katerina said, keeping her eyes away from me. I looked at dad who shook his head, not wanting me to interfere. I looked at Carter who shook his head, reminding me to stay calm as I looked at my wife who seemed to be in trance.Donatello kept his arm around Katerina, supporting her body, and had I not known that he was her brother; I knew that I would have probably tried ripping his head from his body. “Katerina, do you want

    Katerina:“Are you sure that you want to do this, Katerina?” Nathan asked, wrapping his arm around me. I nodded, staring at the door for a second too long, knowing that she already knew of my arrival."Yes, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself otherwise. Plus, I have you around to help me if anything does happen, and I do believe that she wouldn’t be causing a fuss” I said, looking at my husband who smiled. He nodded, taking a step forward and knocking on the door. It opened a few seconds later, revealing Bella and Donatello who smiled, greeting us.I wrapped my arms around my brother, hugging him tightly before turning to Bella who smiled. Anthony, Donatello’s dad, stood a few steps behind, looking at me, studying my expression. I looked down at my feet, avoiding his eyes. If I was embarrassed of anyone in this world, then it was him.“You needn’t look down at your feet, child” he said, looking at me. The fact that he and Dimitri called me child was not something that I missed, but

    “Baby girl, are you sure that you don’t want to go to the hospital?” Nathan asked Katerina for the fifth time this morning. Her husband has been growing more anxious with her waking up sick, and not knowing the reason behind it; he was confused about his wife’s reasons not wanting to see a doctor in such a situation. “Nathan, my love, I am fine” “This is the third time this week that you wake up sick, baby, not to mention the fact that you’ve been growing dizzier” he said, cupping her cheeks “and don’t think for a second that I haven’t realized that your body is growing tired. The black circles under your eyes and your pale face” “My love, I am living for two, and it would be taking me a while to get used to” Katerina said, making Nathan frown in confusion, not understanding what she was saying. Katerina smiled, taking his hand in hers, and putting it on her stomach. She had found out about it last night and wanted to surprise her husband; however, it seemed like Nathan was a littl

    “Bloody hell!” Katerina cried, holding onto Inna’s hand. “Just one more push, Luna Katerina, you can do it” the pack’s doctor said, encouraging her. Inna, the woman who has been by her side since she learned that she was pregnant, kissed her temple. “Come on, Katerina, you can do it” she whispered. Luna Katerina screamed, her abdomen feeling like it was being ripped before a pressure seemed to loosen. It was seconds later when she heard her baby’s cries, making her cries of pain turn into a smile. Her husband, Alpha Nathan, walked inside the room to look at the two of them. His smile formed on his lips as he approached his wife. He kissed her forehead, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds before leaning down to kiss her lips. Having been forbidden from entering the room when she started giving birth, the Alpha waited patiently alongside his father by the door. “I am so proud of you, malyshka” he whispered, resting his forehead against hers. A few tears of exhaustion a

    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

    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

    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

    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
