Kathrina POV"Mom, what are you preparing?" I asked later in the evening as I walked into the kitchen."She's making Chicken pot pie, spaghetti pie casserole and pot roast with potatoes," Monna told me, at the other end of the counter top, holding up a bowl of chicken."What the…!" I paused as my mom flicked a glance at me. "Why make all that for dinner, mom?!""Rylan is coming over for dinner with Miranda, forgotten?" She asked and I sighed.I actually forgot about that after taking a shower. I can't believe she's making all this because Rylan is coming over. This is totally off it!"Mom, Rylan perhaps won't show up, okay?" I tried to convince her but she flicked me a stare in return."Just shut up and help me out here!" She ordered. I found myself dragging my feet to her with a frown."You can help finish up peeling the potatoes," she said and motioned at the bowl of potatoes at the edge of the counter.I quickly did as she instructed and snuck out of the kitchen."Are your guests r
Kathrina POVI glanced down below the table at his huge boots and cussed him in my mind as I bit my lower lip then grit my teeth."What happened?" My dad asked."N…nothing. I think it's a rat.""Rats in the house? I thought this house was fumigated a few days ago?" My mom asked and Monna nodded."Maybe the poor thing found his way in," Morley said. "And i guess just by seeing it, he fell head over hills for your pinky toe," Morley said jocularly."Did it bite you?" Mom asked and I shook my head. "That's fine." She sighed.After dinner, mom and dad walked Rylan and his mom out.Getting to my room, I jumped on the bed and exhaled, then, my phone beeped.I took it out from my jeans pocket. I had a message from Rylan.{Hey Catty, still asleep?}I ignored it. Ding!It was another message from him.{Don't piss me, reply my message}I groaned and sat upright.You don't need to know after almost crushing my perfect toes, idiot! I texted back.Ding!{Laughing emojis. You deserved that for laug
Kathrina POVStepping out on the lawn after contemplating for almost five minutes, I quickly sent a call across to Lita."Hello, girlfriend, don't tell me you are almost reaching my home?" Lita's excited voice burst through the phone the very minute she picked up.I was wordless for a while before talking."Actually…Litty, I won't be coming over this morning…""Hold on." I heard her groan through the phone. I guess she's mad now."I know the very second you called me 'Litty' you were going to say something unfavorable. Geez, you texted me a while ago, okay?!""Yeah, but…""Nah. No fucking buts and ifs. You know I actually gave up a super date with Max so we both can hang out.""I'm sorry.""No you're definitely not. It's been weeks since we last spent a whole day having fun together! You don't care about ME.""I promise I will be at your house before 12 noon.""Really? And you think I will be waiting for you at home till then so we can go out? Hell no." "Lita, I…" she hung up when I
Kathrina POVHe can't be thinking of taking advantage of me, can he? That was the last thing I'd wish for."Look, Rylan, if you take a step further…I promise you I will scream," I threatened when I started taking steps back and he was advancing me.He kept coming closer till we were merely an inch apart."Scream, I dare you," he urged with a smirk on his face. As he attempted to touch me I let out a scream forcing him to grab my arm as he pressed his wide hand against my mouth and made me back the wall."Are you mad?" He asked, almost yelling with a frown.I pushed him back with every strength I had gathered from eating breakfast this morning and he chuckled at my wonder woman's strength."I told you I would scream. Don't ever…""Shut up, idiot," he cussed, making my eyes widen in disbelief."What were you thinking I was about to do…?""The same thing you were actually going to do." He laughed, shaking his head."You had thought I would take advantage of you?""That's exactly what you
Miranda POVI watched, laughing softly as both entered into an argument.I'm really happy to see Kathrina with Rylan. I knew she was going to help him get over his misery and be a new guide light to my son."You better apologize before I hit you, okay?" Kathrina told him."I want to see you try and trust me when I say I am going to break that weak limb you got…""Stop it, Rylan. Why are you botb acting like little children?" "It's Kathrina's fault," Rylan pointed at her and she hissed."Give it to me." He jerked the photos in her grasp and stood up. Kathrina stared at him as he left, clenching her fist.I walked up to her and placing a hand on her shoulder, she darted her eyes to me."Don't mind Rylan. He acts…""I'm sorry. I didn't mean to act this way with him but…he really pushed me to the edge. He's always pissing me off," she whined and sighed."Thank you so much, Kath." She squinted."I don't quite understand.""For befriending Rylan. I'm seeing a bit of change and sparkle in
Kathrina POV Damn! I mumbled cusses as I dragged myself out of the crowded mall, clutching into my six shopping bags. I held three bags each in both hands and dropped them by my feet. I had to sweat it out back inside to grab some nice outfits which were on special discounts. Now, I just need to get a drive home and put up with my mom scolding me for impulse buying. I had already done a pep talk while my groceries and clothes were being ringed up at the counter. I will take whatever venom my mom spills out on me when I reach home but I just wish that my dad has returned from his night shift so he could save me today again. Then the thought hit me. Maybe I should just go over to the Police station and head home with my dad. I really can't bear it if my mom decides to spank my poor ass. At least if I go home with my dad, that would be avoided. "But that would rile my mom especially when she also learns that I had used her debit card to pay for the clothes and not my money," I t
Kathrina POV"Tell me you're lying, Kathrina," Hayden demanded, almost yelling. "It's the truth," I said, not being able to stare directly at him."Deal with your petty absurd issues. I'm off," Rylan said. I spun. He waved vaguely at me before entering his jeep then zoomed off.I whirled back to see Monna at the door."Come take this in, please," I told her.She rushed up to me."Hi, Hayden. You're here?" Hayden nodded and looked away."I will just take these things." She shrugged and took the bags from me."Oww, they're fucking heavy. What did you have in these bags?" Monna groaned as she entered the house."When and how did you become friends with Rylan?" Hayden asked. I stared at him, pressing my lips to a line. I really didn't know where to start from."Just tell me…why did you?" He asked again, this time with a hoarse voice."It's…kind of complicated," I found my voice. "I befriended him because of his mother," I paused, having a rethink.I didn't think it was right to tell Hay
Hayden POV"All is fine between you guys now, right?" Skye asked me the minute I tossed my phone to the table after Kathrina hung up.I sank in my seat and glanced at Rayana sitting by my right on the couch in my office She had a pesky smile on her face which made me feel irked, but I wasn't going to let her get under my skin."I really wasn't happy to find out about it. And Kathrina didn't even tell me her reason for befriending Rylan," I groaned and punched the table surface with my fist.Rayana let out a loud 'Oops' in a scornful manner, forcing me to groan."I guess you must have hurt yourself now," she said, rising up. "Should I get an ice pack for you…apha Hayden?" I flicked a glare at her and she shook her."I know alphas don't get hurt. Anyways I care less," she said insentively.I stared at Skye who must have mindlinked with Rayana and forced her to sit down."I think Rylan's mother is involved. She must have told Kathrina something," Skye informed."I think so too," I concu
