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

That exchange with her mother was disappointing. We never got a look into the mother’s side and exactly why she abandoned both of her children at different times. I would really have loved to hear from her point of view how she felt when she left both children. It feels unfinished.

    “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

    He walked through the empty halls of the room he was called to. His heart raced against his ribcage as he caught her scent, his mate’s; however, she was nowhere to be seen. The Alpha was bleeding and badly injured. His head throbbed with each step he took due to the impact he had earlier; but he didn’t care. He kept walking. He knew that he had to find her, and he wasn’t planning on leaving without her. “I see that you’ve really made it” the Lycan said, looking at the Alpha. He stood in front of him, chuckling at his sight “is she really worth all this fuss?” “Where is she?” He asked, glaring at the Lycan who smirked at him, enjoying his reaction “where the fuck is my mate?” “Now, now, tone down the attitude, wolf” he said, mocking him. The Lycan hated the fact that normal wolves existed to begin with, and seeing them as nothing but slaves to Lycans, what he and the other elders called ‘true bloods’, he proved it in the way he spoke to the raging Alpha “she is sitting right in f

    Katerina:“Nathan…” I laughed, shaking my head at my husband who was tickling me.“Yes, my Luna?” He asked, pretending to be innocent as I felt his boner on my bum. His arm was wrapped around me as he held me to his chest, and raising himself a little, he looked down at me, smirking when he saw my smile as I looked back at him.“You do realize that you are playing with fire, my dearest beloved, right?” I asked, running my hand down his body behind me, gently squeezing his hard cock.“Well, I don’t mind turning it off if you would allow me to” he whispered, kissing my neck. I closed my eyes as a moan escaped my lips, and leaning into his touch, I grinded my bum over him, creating a friction that had a low groan escape his lips. I turned around to face him, and raising my leg to straddle his torso, I got on top of him as I connected my lips with his own. My bare thighs touching his exposed torso, causing him to groan. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me down to his chest a

    Nathan:“Good morning, baby girl” I whispered, kissing Calista’s hand as she sat on my lap. She has been sitting there, playing, and pretending to draw patterns for the past fifteen minutes, and despite hoping that she would eventually get tired and stop, it seemed like my little princess had other plans.“Good morning” she said, smiling brightly. Katerina was still fast asleep, curled up beside me, and checking the time, I knew that her alarm was still fifteen minutes away from ringing; therefore, Calista should have been asleep for a while longer.“Why are you awake, princess?” I asked, getting up and lifting her with me. Katerina stirred a little, and frowning in her sleep, she opened her eyes to look at me.“Nathan?” She asked, frowning in confusion. She rubbed her eyes from sleep, noticing our daughter awake in my arms before she checked the phone in fear that she slept in.“Calista woke up a little early, malyshka, don’t worry” I said, sitting beside her. So much for not waking

    Katerina:“You know that you can’t keep avoiding Inna forever, Nathan” I said gently, helping my husband with the buttons of his shirt.“Katerina, my sweet malyshka, we’ve talked about this…”“It’s been six years, Nathan” I said, stopping him, my voice softening “I wasn’t even pregnant with Elijah at the time, and you know that she has been there for me more than anyone when I literally had no one to help me” Nathan stayed quiet for a few seconds, his heart racing against his ribcage as I stood on my toes to kiss his jawline “I know that this is a sensitive topic, but even your father talks to her at times. The two of them are trying to fix things up, and as you can see, they’ve started sharing a room recently…”“My angelic malyshka” Nathan said, stopping me “I know that you are doing this out of good intentions and I know that your beautiful heart just wants me to be happy. But baby, you know that mom has hurt more than just me and dad. The order of the pack changed with what she di

    Nathan:“Mummy!” Elijah said excitedly. Katerina laughed and got down on my knees, hugging him tightly before kissing his forehead.“Good morning to you too, darling” my beauty said, smiling at him. Calista ran to my arms, giggling when I lifted her. I watched as my wife got up and carried Elijah to the dining table, smiling at the sight of Inna and Dimitri who were sitting, watching us.“Good morning to the whole family” Carter said, entering alongside Jade who had her daughter in her arms.Katerina put Elijah down and turned to face the beta, playfully glaring at him, watching as he took a step back in mocking surrender “what did I do this time?” “Oh, you are so going to bloody get it” Katerina said, glaring at him. “Wait, what did I do?” Carter asked, letting his mate go as he caught my wife, stopping her from attacking him, knowing that she won’t do anything anyway. Katerina laughed and Carter turned her around, pinning her to his chest, wrapping her own arms around herself, res

    Katerina:“Are you sure that you don’t want to tell mom, Katerina?” Donatello asked, looking at me as the two of us walked through the house’s garden. He knew that I wasn’t one to like to hide things; however, time showed me more than once that I couldn’t trust the woman, and plus, I didn’t really need to remind him that the woman abandoned the two of us as children. “Donatello, you may be able to trust her enough to call her mum, but I only do that out of respect. We both know that she is no mother to me after what she did, and I know that you would tell me that she had to, and that she needed to ensure that I was safe, and the thousand other excuses. But she left me to die, Donatello. A child is not to be left in the streets alone, anyone could have kidnapped or hurt me, and she isn’t stupid as not to know that. She went to live her life and never bothered once to check on whether or not I was alive” I said, looking at my older brother who sighed but nodded in understanding “she wo

    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
