Katrina’s POVI sat up at the information being passed to me and picked up my pen, ready to take notes. Thomas noted this and smiled at me, his face becoming serious as he went on to say. “This is inside information just so you know.”“Oh,” I murmured and dropped the pen.“No, go ahead,” Leor an elder who sat beside me urged as he noticed me retreat my hands from the desk.“I thought it was inside information and so I shouln—”“The King asked us to include it in your classes,” Thomas explained, cutting off my utterance. “Oh,” I let out and bobbed my head in acknowledgement of his statement.The rest of the class I paid close attention, my brain grabbing whatever information it could as Thomas and the other elders took turns in coming to stand close to the board, each giving me knowledge from their experiences and those passed down to them.Hours went by and in between I felt someone staring at me as usual from my right. However I couldn't see him fully, on the other hand, I could obs
Katrina’s POVHe had advised me not to run, however I couldn't stop myself from taking to my heels and I rushing out of his office when he retrieved his palms from the desk.I could hear his soft chuckles follow after me and for some moments I was scared and at the same time excited at the thought that he may be coming behind me.Despite my mixed feelings, I didn't stop my sprint to check if my thoughts were correct as I frantically gripped the door handle, pulled it open and exited the space, appearing in the hallway of the bottom floor of the castle.My heartbeat didn't slow regardless of the fact as I was no longer close to him, instead the adrenaline in my veins made it beat faster and my breath hitch from the series of emotions I was feeling in that moment.Before I could get noticed by the numerous servants strolling around the castle and attending to their various duties, I traced my footsteps to the staircase and dragged my weight upwards to my room.“Are you okay Miss?” Maddy
Katrina’s POV“Easy there tiger,” Steven’s voice reached me with a chuckle, pulling me out of angry state. I halted my movements, my breath coming out in short pants as he came to stand behind me.I frowned at his movements and he noticed, his smile spreading as he said in my ear. “Calm down Trina.”“You asked us to picture our opponent and that is what I was doing,” I felt the need to say, hoping he’d take a step back, not liking our closeness.“I’m not talking about that,” he murmured, standing barely inches away from me, any action of our bodies would have our skins brushing in the most inappropriate way.“Then what are you talking about?” I questioned, my voice coming off as polite but my tone higher, hoping someone would catch on, maybe Arianna hence the two happened to be seeing each other.Nonetheless my plan didn't work as everyone appeared to be in serious mode, throwing punches and kicks in the air, the smell of sweat and the sounds of grunts and hissed out curse words filli
Katrina’s POVAfter my alteration with Steven that day, he had given me a break and a chance to breath comfortably by not approaching me in any manner not to talk of touching me inappropriately.He was even scarce at the training grounds and whenever he was present he didn't decide to be the trainer and one time he was appointed to be one, he declined with humor and muttered some excuse which I didn't remember.It sounded convincing to the other pack members and even to Thomas who was mostly around to supervise the training activities. However to me I knew it must have been my hostility towards him as he had said through his own lips.For the past 2 days it was Alpha Davos who had taken up training to everyone’s horror and it was at that point I knew something must have gone wrong or it must have been the reason for Steven’s distance.As for the eyes I felt on me the previous day, I still hadn't figured out who it was hence I didn't still see no one when I returned to the castle and m
Katrina’s POVI gulped as I reread the words for the second time, my vision switching between the note I had lifted close to my face and the box which laid untouched on the mattress.For about a minute, I sat there, pondering on what the box may contain. My fear had disappeared after I read the note hence it clearly stated that I would thank him and not curse him out or end up dead.‘He may be playing tricks on you,’ my subconscious warned and I thought about it before dispersing the thought, having no idea where the confidence and trust I had in him came from as I said the words “He won’t do anything to hurt me.”‘Which ‘he’ are you referring to?’ My subconscious inquired and it hit.The ‘he’ could be anybody. I had stupidly rushed to think it was from Davos. What if it wasn't from him? What if it was from Steven? Or worse Shaun? What if it was even from Amanda?These questions popped into my head one after the other and after each question I sensed my heart pick up its pace. As if i
Davos POVThe moment my lips descended on hers I knew it was where I wanted my lips to always be. The softness welcomed my hard ones as I pressed down on hers, my hand instantly going to grip the back of her neck.To my surprise she didn't budge and instead remained still, her eyes closing of their own accord, an action I didn't think she was fully aware of.I smiled on her lips and ran my thumb on her jaw, upward to her chin before massaging her ear lobe, the sensation provoking a shiver and a gasp from her that made my heart swell at how adorable and erotic that sounded.Before she could realize what was happening, I slid my tongue into her mouth to meet hers, letting out a groan of satisfaction as I felt all her resolve disappear as she inhaled sharply.I pressed my lips harder on hers and began moving my mouth as our tongues danced to a silent tune of our minds, the kiss growing deeper with each second.My palm on her neck, climbed to her hair, my fingers getting lost in their str
Katrina’s POVThe kiss that day was expected and at the same time not expected. However I didn't count on my body and mind giving into him so easily. Before I knew it I was responding to his kisses and enjoying the feel of his hand around my neck.When his hands dipped lower I thought I would see it as a red flag and maybe run away as I normally would, nonetheless it wasn't anything of the sort as I found myself silently giving him the permission to do as he liked.The moment his fingers squeezed my ass I couldn't even be modest enough to hide my moan as instead I let it out, giving him the satisfaction he wanted as he smiled on my lips.When we were interrupted by Steven I was surprisingly disappointed and that went as far as to show my body was succumbing to his seduction and no matter how hard I tried to deny it, I seemed to turn to putty in his arms.That explained the reason I was avoiding him like the plague as it turned out I happened to loose all sense of reasoning. Adding to
Katrina’s POV“Does anyone want desserts?” Arianna asked once everyone was done with the main course.“Ummm,” Valencia Mathew’s mate hummed, contemplating the offer, and shifting a glance to me as if to ask if I’d join her in her choice. “I’m not sure if my stomach can take it.”“Even if your stomach can’t you’d have to take it make your milk more sweet for Paul,” Arianna urged, adjusting the tiny strap of her blue dress hanging across her shoulders aside from the off-the-shoulder design.It was a beautiful dress I had admired and told her about the moment I spotted her wearing it. The lower part of the dress was body hugging down to the knees, while it flared in prints down to her ankles.Her hair was styled in a low ponytail. The center of her hair parted and the bundles at the back folded upward and set in place with a wide black hair clip.She was beautiful too with her light make-up and shiny lip gloss, I expected Steven’s eyes to be glued on hers, nonetheless it was on someone e
Katrina’s POVI struggled against him for a brief moment and his lips curled further in a sly look before he let go of me. I hopped once more before I regained my balance, a scowl on my face as I took two steps back to where I previously stood.“Why’d you do that?” I mouthed the question, narrowing my eyes at him, getting irritated and a bit annoyed as he continued to keep that cocky outlook.“Just testing your resolve that's all,” he answered in the same manner I asked, no one else hearing or noticing anything amiss as they were all involved in their respective actions.“Can we focus on the training?” I asked, my voice audible and not just my lips moving to keep the conversation quiet.“It's hard to focus when you are right in front of me,” he said enticingly or thought he did, but to me it came off as irritating. “You look constipated.”“The word I think to be used should be uncomfortable,” I elaborated, tilting my head to the side and curling my tongue in my mouth to prevent me fro
Katrina’s POVIt was safe to say I had survived a month at the Alpha King’s castle and well protected kingdom. Everything was going smoothly if I must say and I could feel I gradually regaining the confidence I had lost or never even had.My relationship with the ladies was fostering beautifully and I couldn't have asked for better women to call friends. Despite the fact that after my whole confession session they had become overprectective, I didn't mind.I wouldn't lie it irked me at some point especially when they always searched for me every time for fear that I would feel sad or lonely like the way I had said I was back at Shaun’s pack.Regardless I loved the attention and protection I was getting. It made me feel special and cared for in the best way I could ever think of. They always made sure I was okay and happy and that alone was amazing.Davos and I fell more into each other’s company. I know I’ve been saying this, but each time I think about it gives me butterflies and mak
Katrina’s POVHe granted me one last inquisitive glance before shifting his attention from me to the tasks he had to attend to. He had a fully assembled desk top computer and keyboard and his gaze shifted to the screen.I kept quiet throughout the time he clicked away, his left hand picking up documents and sorting out their contents with what he had on the screen.He murmured unintelligible words in between while most times he traced a sentence with his finger, reading it out and for some reason, I found myself laughing.The silence which has initially been awkward and filled with sexual tension became somewhat calm and easy going. As for the sexual tension part, it still hung heavy but it appeared like we had made quiet decisions between ourselves to leave it be.An hour or two must have ticked by in silence, simply enjoying each other’s company. I found myself to be really comfortable just sitting there, his body the only entertainment my eyes needed as it didn’t fail to enjoy the
Katrina’s POVI had no idea what to expect or how any of us would react, nevertheless I was tired of running. Feelings were getting involved regardless of it being only a few weeks, but the fact remained that I couldn't keep denying it.My mind made up, I let my hair fall over my neck and my back. Picking up my phone from the vanity table, I strolled toward the door and before I could have second thoughts, exited the room.I traced my way down the stairs and found my path to his office which was connected to the room I usually had my classes which had ended an hour prior.Training had lasted longer than usual or should I say mine, thus I got tired every minute and ended up taking longer breaks than the others but that didnn't mean I shouldn't finish my training.I was the only one on the training grounds, except for Steven who had watched me from afar. He hadn't approached me in a while aside from his side remarks which I was intensely grateful for.King Davos had been the person in c
Katrina’s POVMy answer about why Davos hated liars went unanswered even after I repeated it a few times during the time we were together. The only thing I got was a simple advice to desist from lying in his presence.The rest of the day went less emotional after that as it turned into a ladie’s night. Arianna had mindlinked Maddy at some point and the next thing, drinks and snacks were being brought into the room.Valencia had excused herself to get her ipad and Maddy was invited to join us. We spent hours watching movies, eating snacks, sipping wine, sharing light conversations and having a few laughs.I felt good as it appeared I really had people I could proudly call friends beside me. Even after they heard about my dark past, they didn't treat me any differently and instead were intent on consoling me and making me glad.We had all dozed off at some point. Yeah the four of us on the bed. By the time I had stirred from mg slumber, I realized I was the only one in the room.The who
Katrina’s POVThe door slammed open immediately after my statement and we both got startled at the force and noise of the wood slapping hard on the wall.In walked Valencia, and just like Arianna, she was still in her gardening attire. Her eyes scanned the room frantically before it halted at the both of us huddled together, or should I say, Arianna over me as her hands squeezed my shoulders while I sniffed.“Why am I hearing sniffs and seeing tears?” Valencia questioned, her eyes narrowing as she frowned at us and approached, bending down to my level and peering directly at me. “Why are you crying Katrina, did anyone hurt you?”“She’s recounting her sad life story,” Arianna sighed, rubbing my back and instantly paused to send me a glance. “Sorry Katrina if that sounded rude or unemotional, I was just saying things as it was.”“Don’t sweat it Arianna,” I assured her with a smile. “You only said the truth. It really is a sad story.”“If it that sad to make you cry then isn't it better
Katrina’s POVI gaped at him while he stared down at me, a smirk lining his lips as he watched my cheeks heat up, my whole face flushing. If I thought he’d stop there I was marveled the next second as he sent me a wink.My mouth opened to say something but closed right after like a fish. All eyes were on me in that moment, even Thomas raised a brow in my path, Valencia had a knowing grin while Arianna frowned.I raked my brain for something to say, anything to divert the attention from mebut I came up short and decided to smile at them instead, and dropped the small shovel in my hand.“Sorry I have to leave now but it turns out Valencia was right,” I forced out the words, trying to keep my cool hence all I wanted to do in that moment was to take to my heels and run away.I honestly wasn't embarrassed, rather it was a different emotion. One called lust, one that caused goosebumps to rise on my skin and a tingling in between my legs as I continued to feel the King’s stare on me.“Excuse
Katrina’s POVFor the millionth time since I opened the box the previous day, I picked up the diamond crested bracelet with the word K inscribed on it, my eyes blinking in wonder as the stones caught the sun shining into the room from the window.When the man named Caleb had brought the box to Arianna’s office the other day, I never expected to see something so special and important to be inside.Even Arianna had screamed out in shock when I revealed what was inside. She had followed me up to my room as I had suggested after the whole fire and burn event in the kitchen.She had instructed Maddy through the mind-link to get both of our lunch to my room. It was almost 5 pm at the time and it would have been advisable to skip till dinner at 7 or 8 pm, nonetheless my growling stomach was having none of it.We had decided to wait till we were done eating before we unwrapped it which turned out to be a bad idea, hence I ended up choking at the sight, words tumbling out of my mouth and most
Katrina’s POVWe went to the kitchen immediately after that and they were right about a staff getting burnt. There was a bit of a commotion and first of all we had calm the others down.Thankfully the fire was not much as the pan happened to flare up from staying on heat for too long. I was in charge of calming the girl in question down.Arianna on the other hand spoke to the others trying to found out how such a situation occurred when there were about 10 people in the kitchen.They all resulted to apologies as the had no reasonable explanations to give. I simply hoped there was no kind of bullying involved hence it happened usually at Shaun’s pack.One of the ladies had later revealed they were having a fun discussion and got carried away. I was dumbfounded to say the least and Arianna fumed, her head about to blow off.“What would have happened if the whole kitchen had been burnt down?” She screamed the question at the girls, her cheeks blown out and red with fury.“We are sorry Mi
