Kathrina POV"So, let's go," Rylan said, starting the car. He shifted his gaze from me to the rear-view mirror and stared at Lita."What?" Lita asked him."I said let's go…?""So? Start driving. Or should I come squeeze myself there and help you drive now, blockhead?""Put on your seat belt. I don't want the town's sheriff to maybe see me carrying two underage ignorant girls.""You are out of your mind," Lita scoffed and we both clipped our seatbelts."Can you start driving now…dipshit?""Yeah. But, don't call me that," Rylan said and turned his face back to her."You've got no right, little girl." Lita chuckled."And…""And neither you too, Catty," he said, silencing me as he flicked a glance at me."Quit calling me Catty then," I said trying to strike a deal with the freak."Nah. I will call you that forever."He started the car and drove out of the parking lot."So, you're dating Max?" He asked Lita."It's been over a month and what's your fucking problem with that?""Ain't got a p
Rylan POVKathrina stared at me showing no sign of astonishment by what I had just said. I opened my mouth to talk but she started laughing. I couldn't help but stare at her, stupefied."Hey, you can't fool me again. Wolves? They cease to exist.""How certain are you?" I asked."You know my dad told me they don't.""And you believe him?" She pulled a long face and I nodded."Okay. What about your mom? She never told you werewolves exist?""Werewolves," she muttered as if recalling something. "She said some things about them which weren't comprehensible to me." She paused and shook her head."I don't want to recall anyway so just start driving, please.""What did your mom tell you…?""Start driving first then I will tell," she proposed.Eager to know what her mom must have told her, I quickly started the car again."Okay. So, she said?" I asked, driving and trying to maintain eye contact with her."She said there are some existing wolves and my grandma was a werewolf hunter.""Was?"
Rylan POVKira is my half-cousin. She is my late uncle, Dax's step daughter. Her mother had her out of wedlock and she was casted out from her pack.After being found by Dax, he took her into the pack and made her his chosen Luna after he cruelly killed his fated mate for telling him brazenly that she has no feelings for him.Kira was sent out by Dax six months ago after he found out she was pregnant for a rogue of an alienated pack who wasn't even her mate.It was a sin against the moon goddess to abort a were-baby, so not wanting that sin to be committed for the first time in the pack by his half daughter, Dax sent her away.Technically, she is a rogue and the first she-wolf rogue of the pack since decades.I actually hate Kira. Why? She and Kayla, her mother periodically humiliated me and sought pleasure in humiliating my mom and Joe after Kayla became the new Luna.After she failed in seducing me then, she joined her mother in tormenting my mom.My dad was poisoned and sensing he
Kathrina POV "Good morning, sheriff John," I greeted Lita's father, pushing open the crossbars gate. He darted his eyes to me. He was mowing the lawn. "Hey, Kathrina, how're you?" He asked as I stepped on the walk. "Quite fine," I replied. "Uh, it seems like," he paused as he stared at my outfit. "You're ready for spontaneous exercise this morning." I glanced at my shorts and nodded. "Came to get Lita." "Oh, you sure that lazy ass friend of yours isn't sleeping?" He asked jokingly. "Hey, dad, I heard that!" Lita blasted from Inside and shifted my gaze to see her staring at us through the window. "I know, but you can't do anything about it, sweetheart," her dad said. Lita groaned. "Give me a minute, Kathrina. I will be out shortly," she told me and aggressively pulled together the window curtains. "I guess she is sure she's going to roast me when she gets out." "Absolutely not," I said, laughing. "How's your dad, Paul doing by the way? Off to work?" "He's doing great. Y
Kathrina POV"You know…maybe he's one of…""Just shake it off. You can't assume stupid things merely because he left his car here," I said. Lita shook her head unbelievably. "Look, he must have his reasons. Why are we even talking about that blockhead?""Yes, he's got no good connection with either of us, but I found this suspicious. I'm beginning to think now that he's not just an ordinary scoundrel." She paused and sighed.Lita leaned forward, cupping my ear with her hand, then whispered. "Maybe he's from the underworld.""Gosh, your thoughts are wild," I said, taking a step backward.""Let's just head back home," I said."You said he disappeared within just three seconds. Don't you also find it strange like me?"I exhaled. Yes, it's strange but what can I do about it? I don't want to have anything much to do with Rylan.Now Lita is acting like this, if I just concur with her then she's sure going to pull me in into a whole week of investigation.I'm not ready to dig into Rylan's l
Rylan POV"Why did you arrive in the pack in wolf form?" Xander asked me as I put on the robe he had grabbed from my room and given me.I had emerged in my wolf form and changed to my human form, stark bullock naked when he saw me run into the packhouse."I met Kathrina and her friend, Lita before the road leading to the neutral territory. I had no option than to change to my wolf form and varnish into the woods.""Didn't she see you?""No. In a blink of an eye, I darted into the woods.""Thanks to your incredible speed," Xander said and clapped."But, do you think she won't start getting suspicious?""Why?" "Man, you disappeared in a wick of an incense. What sort of human dies that?"I shook my head, biting the down of my lip as I sipped from my glass of wine."I doubt she would," I shrugged."Where's your Jeep?""Unfortunately, I left it behind in lake town.""Huh?""I had foreseen that someone was going to be at the entrance of the town. Strangely enough, Red pushed me not to be
Rylan POVIt's time for the alphas meet," Xander told me later in the day as he walked into my office the moment I had just ended a call with a business client."It's past 7pm," I said, glancing at the wall clock hung on my office wall. "When is the alphas meet scheduled to start?""By 7:30pm. Don't worry, if we leave in the next five minutes, we will get there before 7:20 pm. It won't take long to get to the grand imperial edifice.""Where is that, by the way?""It's located before the neutral territory.""O, yes. Those motherfuckers don't give a damn. If a war erupts between the humans and us due to that, the alpha queen just orders every pack to get ready and give it their best shot to save her rotten son's ass.""You know that doesn't really have to happen. Her son will be able to handle it without involving all the packs in the city. And to be frank,I doubt that would cause a war between humans and us.""To heck with that." I stood up and grabbed my jacket from the coat hanger."
Rylan POV These shit alphas poked their faces staring at me, waiting for a response. I let out a short gasp before breaking the long silence. "Hayden, my intentions are pure, and moreover, I don't know what you want to expose," I lied. Hayden's glare instantly became more intent. He shouldn't say a word. "I think you're speaking shit," I mouthed out. His mien changed, like he was getting confused with what I said. Good, I think it must be working. My plan to make Hayden look so stupid. "Do not manifest your psycho self," Hayden said, staring at each and every alpha and finally, halting his stare on me. "Do not speak rubbish, I'm warning you," I said, boldly. One thing was definite. Hayden would never for a reason expose our past misfortunes. Of course, at that, we had a similar sense of reason – that everything between us should remain between us. "I think it should be over now," The Alpha Queen stated. "I support that," one elderly alpha said. "Thanks Alpha Drew," she appr
