Katrina’s POVDays went by and my bruises just got a little bit better. No one cared about the state of my health as I was back doing errands and hard labor the next day.Being without a wolf made me totally different from others of my kind. At times it was bliss because there was no annoying voice in my head to tell me and issue me orders.Nonetheless at times when I felt too alone, I wished I heard the presence in my head to fill me in with some company. Also at times like these when I needed to heal fast, I wished she was with me because I was healing slowly like a human.Bending over, I finished wrapping the bandage around my knee for the second time in a few days. Having no one to help me out or care I learnt to do stuff for myself.Even Shaun who had the audacity to show up after what he did to sleep with me didn't even flinch at the bruises and bandaged knee and a swollen elbow on my body.I managed to kick him out of course and since then he hadn't visited. It had been a week
Katrina’s POVHer words stung but I let it slide and simply left to do her bid, picking up the bucket in my right hand which was gratefully in good condition.No matter how I tried to get rid of the hurt of his rejection or set my mind it wasn't my fault, someone or something ended up telling me otherwise and it always stung.Heaving a sigh I walked out of the pack house and began my trek across the pack lands. It was still morning and one could hear the voices of mother's and kids as they got them prepared for school and father's get ready for the day.The bloodmoon pack was not as developed as some others I had heard of, maybe it was because Shaun was a heartless and stupid Alpha. Sometimes I wonder what made me love him but the answer was always the damned matebond.I exchanged no greetings with anyone I came across and no one uttered a word to me either. I was the outcast of the pack who had caused the death of both parents at her birth.An hour went by and I approached a clearing
Days had flown by and I was back to being in hell. Amanda didn’t relent as she threw insults at me and tried to mock and hit me at any chance she got.As for Shaun, he happened to stay clear of me. He hadn't approached me personally since I chased him out of my room after he threw me in the dungeon. He even went through the trouble of avoiding eye contact.I was ecstatic about that fact as I needs a break from his madness. I just hope he doesn't return back to being stupid soon. I loved things the way they were.As for my health and recovery, it was going well and I was starting to heal. Vanessa had become a great help by volunteering to do the strenuous chores, therefore reducing the stress on me and giving my body time to recover.To my surprise Vanessa had proven to be totally different than what I had thought. She happened to be the friend I needed by standing by me as she was mentally stronger and more capabable in handling pressure unlike me who succumbed to it easily.When I as
Katrina’s POV“Hurry,” I said to Vannessa who was getting dressed while I stood beside her, already dressed.We were in my room. Vanessa was not given a place to stay when she was brought and the maids wouldn't want to get on Amanda’s bad side by accomading her in their quarters.I only found this out some days after we met. It was early in the morning and I was heading to run an early errand Amanda had indicated to me the previous day when I observed her sleeping beside my door.She didn't know it was my room by then. Feeling sympathetic and deciding to give her a chance, I let her sleep in with me after I warned her about its state.To my surprise she didn't act disgusted or flinched instead she was grateful and it was nice having company and someone to share the days events with.Vanessa loved to discuss and badmouth people a lot so sharing chats with her was always fun. Staying together made us bond more with each other and she got really comfortable with me.It was sometime in th
Katrina’s POVThe words flew past my ear as every other person in the room went still for a moment as the news settled in their system. Amanda inhaled a deep breath and nodded at the guard who exited after."You all heard the guard," she said in a loud tone. "Round up whatever it is you are doing and leave as soon as you can.""If you can't round up everything then pack up and leave," she issued out the command, clapping her hands rapidly for emphasis.The men whom I was about to work with began climbing down the ladder and packed up their equipments. I tried to help but they shook their heads no. They didn't appear familiar and I wondered where they were from and if they were humans, wolves or lycans.Another side effect of not having a wolf, I couldn't sense or figure out simple things like that. Except if I was told or if a situation came up that somehow revealed it to me."Katrina!" Amanda yelled my name all of a sudden and I jumped, wondering what the problem was this time."Yes
Katrina’s POV“Umm that would be a lie,” Amanda said and broke out in a hysterical laugh which to me showed her nervousness. “Who would feed you such information?”“Are you indirectly calling me a liar?” The man who spoke earlier questioned. His tone icy as his statement held animosity. “I’m the Lycan King and I have people at every corner ready to give me whatever information I seek.”“When they don't?” He implored, making sure there was silence for some moments. “I tend to investigate matters myself. This is to say everything I speak of has been thoroughly checked and confirmed before I take action”“Pssss,” an object poked my back and I stared behind me to see the maid with a tray following me. “Why haven't you gone in?”“Ummm, I-”“Move,” she jabbed me with the tray. “You are not the only one who hates to be scolded and I’m in no mood for your shenanigans.”Having no choice I used my right elbow while tightly holding the tray of food and bent the door handle. I heard a click and p
Katrina’s POV“Then tell us,” Shaun declared after sharing a quick glance with his Elders and Amanda. “Is there someone you admire?”“I wouldn't use the word admire,” he corrected as I was almost at the door. “But yes, I have my eyes out on someone.”“Who might that be?” Luca one of the elders implored.“Her,” Davos announced as my hand reached the handle. For the third time since I came to serve, the room grew quiet and I felt eyes digging into my back. Feeling compelled to turn around, I did just as Amanda screamed, “Her?!”“What?” I blurted the question before I could think, the empty tray in my hand shaking.“Yes,” Davos affirmed as I fully faced him from a distance, his posture relaxed in a short sleeved brown and black designer shirt and black slacks. His chin held high, a small smile playing on his lips. “Why?” Shaun interrogated.“I have my reasons,” he replied, golden eyes I never knew existed raking my form, his gaze still intense and it came off as if he could see beneath
Katrina’s POVI halted and turned to my left, my eyes narrowing in confusion as I asked. “Why?”“I can see you forgot the motto in this pack,” the guard murmured in reply.“Which is?” I questioned, getting more confused. “I didn't know there was a motto we abide by.”“I guess no one told you then,” the guard scoffed as he appeared at me. “You are no newcomer and should have known it.”“Well I don't so fill me in,” I exhaled in a breath. “The Alpha and Amanda don't like to be kept waiting.”“Which should I do so?” He queried, finger tapping the back of his hand as he held both palms in front of him.“What?” I asked, getting more confused by the second.“You asked me to go ahead and fill you in,” the guard reminded. “I’m trying to ask which question should I do that to.”“Both,” I declared.“The motto I was referring to, goes like this,” the guard started. “Do as they say, asks the questions later or face their wrath regardless.”My eyes widened in surprise at his statement while it san
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
Katrina’s POV“Who’s there?” Arianna asked but whoever it was simply strolled in and she lifted a brow.I whirled in the direction to see a man stroll in, he had puffy hair and a bronzed skin tone, as expected he was perfectly built which I could discern regardless of the loose blue shirt he had on above black jeans.“What brings you Caleb,” Ariann said in more of a statement than a question, a sneaky smile on her lips. I was honestly confused at the difference in her expression as I observed the sparkle in her eyes. I could vividly recall her excited while talking about Steven and now she was this way with the handsome looking man?The man appeared a bit familiar like someone I had seen only once, however I could tell he wasn't from around the border. Maybe he wasn't a werewolf thus he appeared a bit comfortable regardless of the polite smile he had on his lips.“Good day Miss Arianna,” he stood a feet away from me and same from her desk, his hands joining together in between his le
Katrina’s POVPicking up my new phone from the table beside my bed, I shoved it into the pockets of my grey sweatpants which I wore together with a black, simple tank top.It was past mid day and training had ended almost an hour ago. I had retired to my room after that to have a bath and a change of clothes to cleanse me of the sweat while the warm water helped to ease my bones.The training was extreme and almost had everyone crying and screaming in frustration. Davos the Alpha King didn't pay any heed to our signs of protest so at some point we had to suck it up.He didn't reduce our tasks or give us break time in between as he shouted orders and did actions which we had to follow. I and a few others resulted to grumbling and sending him the stink eye, again he didn't care.I pleaded with Thomas with my eyes to do something rather he only shrugged and smiled. It got to a point where I wished Steven would be appointed to train us instead but that too didn't happen.My bones felt hea
Katrina’s POVMy eyes flashed open and I hissed at the brightness that hit my eyes. Muttering profanities under my breath, I shut my eyes and inhaled and exhaled deeply, striving to calm the redness in my eyes before unraveling them again.Thankfully it got a bit better and I didn't flinch or hiss as my vision got adjusted. Sliding my fingers into my hair strands, I pushed it away from my face and blew out a breath to disperse the few strands that stuck to my lips.At that point it hadn't quite registered where I was until I whirled away from the sun, a scream nearly breaking out of my lips at the vision I sighted.He appeared so different in sleep, facial features smoothened, brows no longer creased as it was known to be, lips not in a thin line as always.I was tempted to trace his nose line and feel the slight edge it had but snapped out of it. As the fog in my brain cleared, the realization of what had occurred l
