Hayden POVAfter drinking for an hour by the bar fixed in the living room, I slowly arose and headed to my room.Pushing the door of my room open, I heard my phone ring. I took it out from my pocket and exhaled. It was Monna calling."Hey, Hayden," she said with a kind of shaking voice the second I swiped to receive a call."What's up, Monna? Is Kathrina fast asleep now?""No. Actually…Kathrina isn't home."I furrowed my brows, dazed. Where could she possibly have gone after leaving here?"Monna, where's she?" I asked, breaking the brief silence that occured.Hell no, could she have gone over to Rylan's place? I mused."Kathrina got into an accident," Monna said, making my eyes widened. I stumbled back and sighed."What happened, Monna…?""My mom has gone over to the town's hospital with Morley." I hung up and dashed out of the house immediately after I grabbed my car key on the table.I reached the hospital and darted in, almost knocking down a few nurses I encountered as I emerged
Rylan POVI was fucking tired when I got to my mom's place. I had actually been tied all day in the packhouse attending to some alphas for damn need my help or alliance.I was kind of excited when I saw Kathrina's message earlier in the day. I thought I wouldn't get to see her for some days after Lita told me she'd spend the night at Hayden's place.I was thinking he would make her stay over for the weekend. I was glad I had taken the gift I had casually bought from the city but decided to give it to my mate.Rounding up things in the packhouse as soon as possible, I went first to her house.And I was happy I was able to put the necklace round her beautiful neck as I'd wish and…wait, did I say 'beautiful'?Well yes, I've got to admit, Kathrina got a beautiful neck.Did I mention the beauty spot? Nah, I actually caught a glance of an adorable beauty spot beneath her nape and just one glance made me crave to nibble her neck.I can't explain it but, since we've got to know each other, I
Kathrina POV ~~~~~~~~~~ I walked down an eerie unknown narrow path, squinting to see ahead through the darkness. Where was I heading to? I had no idea. I feel I've been going down this path for a while, clutching my penlight which slightly illuminated the path, enabling me to see. I cursed beneath my breath as I halted out of exhaustion. I had no idea how I came across this part. Feeling there was no end to the path, I was about to turn to leave when I heard a creak. "Kathrina?" I heard an old familiar feminine voice. I gasped as I shifted my eyes to see my late grandmother appearing from a hideous corner. "Gram, is that you?" I asked, I'm disbelief as she walked up to me. Her lips were parted and astonishment could clearly be seen on her face. "Gram, you're alive." I attempted to touch her but she took some step back, creating a short distance between us. "Don't touch me, my dear. How are you here?" She asked. "I don't know, Gram. But, I'm really happy to
Zoey POV After feigning to have drifted to sleep for a while the minute Hayden left, I slowly opened my eyes as the woman who is Kathrina's mom walked in."Um, you're awake now?" She asked with a bright smile. I nodded."Doing better than before…mom."She chuckled. "Hayden left already and he's going to be back by tomorrow morning. I'm going home to get you some clothes.""That's good," I shrugged."And…won't you ask what I presume you've been wanting to ask?"I squinted, trying to decipher what she was talking about. I attempted to read her mind but she laughed softly, stopping me."Don't worry. I've not informed your dad yet. If I had, he'd come running over here.""Oh, that's great.""So, I will be leaving now, dear. Be back before dawn." She rubbed my leg, lovingly and left.Pff, what a work! I jerked off the IV from my hand and brought my feet down, freezing the next second as the door was pushed open.A sigh of relief escaped my nostrils as Caroline walked in and closed the doo
Kathrina POV After the weird girl left, I could feel the heat of my body increasing, the intensity of uneasiness rising. Suddenly, I could feel my mandible and maxilla creak, a strange feeling in my head. Was inferno burning inside of me? I tried to calm myself, in vain. Something was going on. What was it? I felt the pit of my stomach twist in a knot, and it was a darn fire for me. I tried to move forward, before something peculiar struck on me… Some tough canines protruded out of my jaw, forcing me to let out a bloodcurdling groan. I was tense and frozen as the door slowly opened. A girl showed up at the door and walked in, closing the door behind. "Who…are you?" I asked, hot air escaping my nostrils. "I'm Caroline," she introduced as she walked up to me. "And I know what you are. I can help you…Kathrina." My expression eased, hearing her mention my name. I've never met her in my life? Why does it seem like she knows me? Who was she? I mused. "What did you know?" I asked
Zoey POVI had tried and forced myself to sleep in excitement last night. I was so happy after seeing Kathrina and witnessed how bewildered she was knowing about how her life had changed in a matter of an hour.The next morning, Caroline walked in with a grimace."You weren't in the room when I returned. Where have you been?" I questioned her."Been trying to clean your mess as always," she said and rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk further about where she had been and what she had been doing."I saw you walk into Kathrina's room after I left. Why went to see her?" I asked.Caroline glanced at me with a displeasing expression as she folded her hands and tilted her head."Yes I went to see. The last thing I would want is for her to die a miserable death, Zoey," Caroline said, shooting me a piercing stare for no reason."So? You tried convincing her to feed on blood, I guess.""Yes. I did. But, she refused. I know it's hard for her now. Nothing is worse than regaining consciousness a
Zoey POVAfter a brief moment of silence caused by the gawky Lita's question, I finally cleared my throat to answer her question."What? Do I look bad now? Ah, I guess I look unwell due to the accident but I'm still recovering." I lifted up my gaze to Hayden who arose."Hey, sweetheart, am I still not pretty?" I asked him."Gosh, you're too much, sis," Monna said and giggled."You're acting like the accident had an effect on your personality," Morley added, forcing me to pull a long face."You will forever be the prettiest girl to me, Kathrina," Hayden said, brightening me up as he kissed my forehead.I glanced at Rylan whom I felt was staring awkwardly at me but he quickly shifted his gaze to Caroline."Hey, how's the other girl doing?" He asked Caroline in a low tone which I alone clearly heard I guess, due to my hyper-hearing ability."Huh? Who?" Caroline asked. I could see right through her that she was feigning obliviousness."The other girl who had an accident," Rylan said."She
Rylan POVI wondered why Katrina was cold towards Lita like she had developed a strong aversion for her within a night. It just didn't seem right."And you, aren't you going to leave?" Hayden questioned me. I ignored him and took some steps forward toward the bed."You clearly heard me," he said."I came over to see Kathrina. I don't care about your relationship. I'm only caring for my the person who's also my m…" I caught my tongue and paused.Yes, Kathrina doesn't know about being fated to me. I really didn't wanted her to know now. Not here and not in this condition."Well you've got to…" the ringing tone of Hayden's phone interrupted him. He pulled out the phone with a frown and answered the call, holding up a finger to Kathrina to excuse him."Hello…yes, you're talking to Alpha Hayden," he said almost in a whisper as he walked to the door.I shifted my gaze to Kathrina who was staring at him with pure lust. Quite strange.I fake a cough, forcing her ei dart her eyes to me."Okay.
