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
Kathrina POVI looked at the side mirror of my father's pickup truck. He was driving with minimal speed, while I enjoyed the soothing air that slapped my face. Driving a little more, we halted near the town gate."Here, Kathy, this is where I'd stop," he said, getting out of the truck. I unclipped the seatbelt and got out."Now stubborn miss," my dad called when I got to him."How're you going to get back home?" I frowned. "I will get back home. I just wanted to see you off here," I defended."And you're doing that for the first time. Why today? This is night," he said, rolling his eyes around. "Its past 7:30pm, you know.""I can protect myself. And, maybe a cab would come around. I've got a special Uber…" I defended myself."No, Kathy. No cab's coming around. And your Uber might not work so late.""Why? I'd…""Kathy… You know Lake Town. And moreover, you speak about protecting yourself, you're not even taller than this truck," he jested and I frowned. Fine, I was kind of short, bu
Kathrina POV"Kathrina," Rylan called again as I stared at him with obvious appalment."R…Ry…Rylan, is this you?" I asked, still in disbelief."Yeah. What you just saw…that's me. I'm actually a werewolf," he stated. I staggered back, shaking my head. I couldn't believe what I had just seen."Look, Kathrina, that's what I've been trying to tell you.""You…" I paused as I became aware that he was stark naked in front of me."Rylan, are…" I spun and saw a guy behind me. He stared at me a bit strangely."It's…you?" He asked, forcing me to squint.I darted my eyes down and saw his hands soaked in blood. My eyes grew bigger and I started running."Kathrina, wait!" I heard Rylan yell. Glancing back, I gasped as I looked ahead and saw the guy in front of me.What was that? How could he rush up to me in a blink of an eye."See you…""Don't!" I took a step back as he attempted to touch me. "Don't touch her Xander," Rylan said."Listen, Kathrina. It's dangerous here. He's going to take you back
Hayden POVI had left the meeting so as not to lose it and crash Rylan's head on the table.Flicking on the lights of the kitchen after I had walked in, I walked straight to my mini refrigerator.I grabbed a chilled carton of juice, gulped it down before taking out a packet of cigarettes from my jacket pocket. I took out a stick, lit it and took a puff to ease my mind.I brought out my phone and saw over ten missed calls from Skye. He had been trying to reach me some minutes after he had dropped me off but I was too upset to talk.I guess it's quite urgent, if not he wouldn't have been trying to reach out to me.Opening the mindlink, I puffed out a whirl of smoke."Hey, Hayden," Skye said when his side of the link opened up. "Yeah, what's wrong?" I asked, sensing the worryingness in his voice."Something happened here?""Huh? What happened over there?" I asked, dropping my cigarette on the ashtray on the countertop."After we left, some rogues attacked.""What?""Yes, some daring stu
Kathrina POV."Why didn't you return home last night?" My mom asked me first the very minute I walked into the house the next morning."Good morning mom," I greeted."Save your greetings. Just answer my question.""I wanted to sleep over Hayden's place," that was the lie I could easily come up with at the moment."And you lied to your dad that you were returning home? Why?""What's wrong mom? I had to sleep over Hayden's place and so? What's wrong with me spending the night over at my boyfriend's house?""Are you crazy?""No, but I think you're the one crazy.""What?" My mom's jaw dropped."Yes. You're always acting crazy to only me. I thought you would quit nagging and scolding me like I was a runaway school kid but I forget that yelling at me was your strong suite. And…""How dare you?!" My mom thundered."Madlyn!" I heard my dad groan, stopping mom from slapping me."Were you really going to slap me, huh?" I asked her and glanced back at my dad standing at the door."Kathrina," he
