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 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 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 POVSteven’s jabs were getting annoying and I could only take so much. It was too difficult to get through the rest of the training and I wouldn't even call it training hence most of the time was him throwing seductive or what he thought was seductive but annoying statements.At some point I had to make up an excuse and walk away from the grounds. Thankfully the session was already over and people had already started to walk away from the grounds so I took up the opportunity to do same.Evening had set in and after I had gotten to my room, I quickly washed up, while I grumbled nothingness in frustration at Steven’s words while I scrubbed my skin. I easily changed into fresh clothes and did my hair in a bun atop my head.Maddy brought in lunch not long after that and it was an amazing meal of pasta and soda with meatballs. After that I exited my room and made my way out of the castle, no sight of Arianna or Valencia.An hour had gone by of me sitting idly in the garden behind
Katrina’s POV“Why sorry?” I implored in confusion, eying him and at the same time feeling my heartbeat accelerate at his closeness.“Because I haven't been giving you attention these few days,” he said out loud and butterflies stirred in my stomach, my heart swelling as I heed his sincerity.“You mean that?” I raised a question, disbelief clouding my voice and system as it was hard to believe he cared for me to the point where he felt sorry about not being there for me and missing out on the quiet times we shared together.“Do I need to repeat myself before you believe me?” He interrogated, tone deeper and eyes narrowing at me, a bit of frustration in his eyes while at the same time his lips twitched.“Not necessarily,” I revealed, biting my bottom lip as I felt suddenly shy under his gaze.“Good,” he declared and reached out a hand to cup my chin. My face involuntarily leaned in to his touch and I hummed before I could realize what was happening. “Cute.”“Sorry I did that,” I snappe
Katrina’s POV“I want you,” he breathed in my face, his gaze dropping to my lips as lust entered his eyes, a hint of his grey tinted hair falling over his face from the angle he tilted it to peer at me.My lids clamped short as I inhaled sharply, his statement washing over me, going to rest at the spot between my legs, giving me tingles there. My eyes flashed open to see him more closer to me, as if that was possible.I sucked in my bottom lip as my vision raked from his face, down to his bare shoulders which were so wide I felt the need to sit on them while he held me up in his muscular arms and ravaged my pussy with his mouth.My dirty thoughts scared me and it seemed as if I was becoming a totally different version of what I knew myself to be. Being with him tended to bring out the naughty side of me I never knew existed and I was slowly becoming accepting of that realization.“Hmmm?” He hummed in a questioning manner, his hand wrapping around my neck and applying a bit of pressur
Katrina’s POVAfter pleasing him in the way I wanted, he ended up putting me over his lap and made me ride him. At some point when I got tired, he held me up and pounded into me, causing my screams to fill the whole room.We were at it for hours and after that, he switched our positions, bending me on my hands and knees, as he fucked me from behind, my back arching as he filled my insides.He had gotten back into his busy schedule two days after and we were still not able to meet up at lunch hours, nevertheless he had decided we eat dinner together in his chambers.Also it is not what you think, it wasn't everytime we ended up having sex, most times it was just comfortable conversations and watching movies.Other times I’d just keep him company while he attended to his documents and had business calls, at times it was video calls while it was also normal calls.During those periods, I occupied myself with playing around on my phone and gazing at pictures of beautiful flowers and wonde
Katrina’s POVI gulped the moment we were back in my room and he shut the door, a sly smile on his lips and a crazy look in his eyes. I shouldn't have been scared but for some reason I was.“As you can see Steven, I am fine,” I murmured in response, eying him warily.“If you were then why didn't you come for training?” He interrogated, head tilted to the side and his body blocking the door.I shouldn't have thought so much about it nevertheless something about his presence ticked me off in those moments. Taking some seconds I observed him again and realized my notion was right to be wary of him.“Sorry I wasn't feeling up to it, that’s why,” I confessed, hoping that would satisfy whatever curiosity he had and make him leave afterward.“I knew something wasn't right about your absence,” he smiled, it was to appear kindly, however it may be because of his advances or behavior toward me that made me feel uncomfortable under his gaze and more so at his closeness.“Don’t worry Steven,” I e
Katrina’s POVThe woman on the cliff disappeared as the river roared back into place, the bone path swallowed by the churning waters. My heart pounded, the Relic’s icy burn spreading up my arm. The visions lingered—her voice, her eyes, the chair of bones.‘Katrina,’ Marie’s voice was faint, strained. ‘The Relic… it’s changing you.’“I know,” I whispered, clutching my scarred hand. The runes pulsed with a faint red light, matching the rhythm of my heartbeat.The forest around me was strangely silent, the air thick with tension. I needed to move, to find Davos, to warn him. But where could I go? The castle was in ruins, the pack scattering. And now, this woman—this thing—was hunting me.I stumbled to my feet, my wet dress clinging to my skin. The Relic’s glow gave just enough light to see the rocky shore. I followed it downstream, thinking it would lead me to safety.But the forest had other plans.The trees seemed to close in around me, their branches turning into clawed hands. Shadows
Katrina POVAdvisor Thomas smiled sharply and unnaturally, and his snake-like eyes gleamed. As he transformed back into a human, the Blood Moon Alpha snarled and flung me to the ground in the jungle."Traitor," spit out the Alpha. "The plan was for you to die in the vault."Blood still trickled from Thomas's lips as he tilted his head. "One I've learned to...work out." "Death is a choice." He held up his hand, and the red-eyed rogues stepped forward. "Give me the hybrid, and you can crawl back to your pack with your tail between your legs."The Alpha growled, his fingers sprouting claws. "Don't take what's mine."Marie hissed in my head, "Katrina." "He has the Relic in his satchel!"The leather pouch at the Alpha's waist caught my attention. Through the fissures streamed a faint blue radiance. Davos had attempted to safeguard the Relic.Thomas was the first to lunge, his movements oddly fluid. His hit sent a ripple across the trees as the Alpha collided with him in midair. The red-eye
Katrina’s POVThe veiled figure stood at the middle of the burning courtyard, flames reflected in their masked eyes like twin stars of evil. The air reeked of smoke and blood, the castle walls moaning as fire consumed them. Davos tightened his grip on my hand, his breath ragged. Shaun changed back into human form beside us, his face mysterious but his stance coiled for action. “Who is that?” I whispered, my voice raw. Davos’s jaw clenched. “The puppeteer.” The figure raised a hand, and the rogues still crawling through the rubble froze, their snarls dying mid-throat. Silence fell, broken only by the crackle of fire. “You’ve made this tedious,” the figure said, their voice twisted, booming as if three people spoke at once. “But predictable. Always defending weakness.” Shaun stepped forward, his voice a blade. “Show your face.” The figure laughed—a sound that scraped my bones. “You first, traitor. How does it feel to kneel at her feet?” Shaun’s hands clenched, but Davos cut in. “
Katrina's POVThe door burst inward, wood pieces flying in every direction. Davos dragged me behind him, his body protecting me as the first rogue shot across the broken portal. With drool flowing from its bared fangs, its yellow eyes projected wild hunger. Davos answered it directly, his fist hitting its head with a terrible crunch. More were already flowing in behind the rebel fallen to the floor.'Stay back!' Davos yelled, his voice a hoarse snarl as he tore viciously across the rogues. His motions were a blur, each hit deadly and exact. But there were too many of them. For every rogue he took down, two others seemed to take its place. I held the blade Davos had given me, my hands trembling. My heart pounded in my chest, and I could feel Marie’s presence in my head, her words demanding. ‘Katrina, you need to fight. You can’t just stand here.’ ‘I don’t know how!’ I shot back, fear growing in my chest. ‘I’ve never fought like this before!’ ‘Use your instincts,’ Marie urged,
Katrina's POV The hooded figure’s grip strengthened like a vise, pulling me deeper into the dark. I thrashed, but their power was amazing. My breath caught as fear clawed at my chest. “Fight, Katrina!” Marie’s voice snapped in my thinking. “Use your instincts!” I spun violently, slamming my heel into their shin. The figure hissed, grip loosening—just enough. I broke free, stumbling back, but they lunged again, putting an arm around my throat. Cold breath hissed against my ear. “You’re coming with me.” Black spots blurred my eyes as I grasped at their arm. Then, a roar pierced the air. “Let. Her. Go.” Davos rushed down the hall, eyes burning. Relief rushed over me at the sight of him, but it was quickly replaced by fear when the figure shoved me aside. I slumped to the floor, gasping. Davos swung, his fist striking with the figure’s jaw. They staggered but recovered unusually quickly, ducking his next hit with strange ease. “Davos, be careful!” I rushed to my feet, pulse poundin
Katrina's POVThe night was oddly quiet after Davos and the guards left to investigate the person I had seen outside. I stood in the hallway, my arms wrapped firmly around myself, trying to quiet the storm of fear rushing inside me. The castle felt cooler, darker, like if the shadows themselves were alive and watching me. Marie’s words repeated in my mind, her tone pressing. 'Katrina, keep alert. The threat isn’t over.' 'I know,' I replied, my voice quivering in my mind. 'But what do I do, Marie? I can’t just stand here and wait.' 'You need to keep strong,' Marie stated, her voice stern. 'Davos will handle this. But you need to be ready for anything.' I nodded, though no one was there to see it. My heart was pounding, and I could feel the excitement running through my blood. I couldn’t just stand there and do nothing. I needed to know what was happening. I stepped nearer the window, looking out into the night. The moon shed a light glimmer over the castle grounds, but the shades
Katrina's POVThe days following the poisoning attempt were tense. Davos had increased security around the castle, and I was rarely left alone. Guards followed me everywhere, their presence a constant reminder of the danger lurking within the walls of what was supposed to be my safe haven. Despite Davos's reassurances, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. The castle, once a place of comfort, now felt like a prison.I sat in the garden, trying to enjoy the warmth of the sun, but even the bright rays couldn’t dispel the shadows in my mind. Marie’s voice echoed in my head, her tone calm but firm. 'Katrina, you need to stay alert. The threat is still out there.''I know,' I replied, my voice trembling in my mind. 'But how do I fight an enemy I can’t see?'Marie didn’t respond, and I knew she was just as worried as I was. The truth was, we both knew that the danger was closer than we thought. Someone within the castle walls wanted me and my child gone,
Katrina's POVThe atmosphere seemed colder, darker the instant Maddy departed to head for Davos. My hands shaking, I sat on the brink of the bed and fixed my eyes on the tea cup on the table. The faint, sour scent persisted in the air, a reminder of how near I had come to be drinking something that might have injured my pregnant kid, or worse. My heart hammering in my chest, I could sense Marie's presence in my head, her fear reflecting my own.'Katrina,' Marie said in a calm but forceful voice. We have to keep on alert. Whoever committed this could still be close by.I nodded, though nobody else could see it. My eyes flew around the room, searching for any signs of danger. The fire crackled quietly in the hearth, but its warmth did nothing to soothe the chill that had sunk deep in my bones. I stood up, pacing the room, my mind racing with questions. Who would do this? And why? Was it someone within the castle? Someone I trusted? The door flew open, and Davos stormed in, his co
Katrina's POVEmotions ran high in the days after my pregnancy was made public. As he showered me with love and attention, Davos was ecstatic and his joy was infectious. But I couldn't get rid of the uneasy sensation that persisted in the back of my mind even after he reassured me. The news was all across the castle, and although the majority of the pack members appeared to be sincerely delighted for us, I couldn't help but notice the faint looks and the hushed chatter that ceased as soon as I entered a room. Everyone seemed to be observing me and waiting for something to occur. "You're acting paranoid," Marie stated in a composed yet strong tone. "Not everybody is trying to harm you." "I know," I said, my thoughts racing. But I'm powerless to stop it. Something doesn't feel right. I knew Marie was as concerned as I was, but she didn't answer. In actuality, we were both aware that my pregnancy would not be welcomed by everyone in the kingdom. I was still viewed by some as an outcas
