Bianca’s point of viewA smile curled up on my lips seeing how Katrina was cornered today.‘Let’s see how you get out of this one’ I thought, crossing my arms as she looked around.Was she hoping that her prince charming would come in and rescue her? I was curious to know what she would do now that he wasn’t there.But I was happy that Dave successfully convinced all these men to challenge Katrina.Dave had been spreading rumours among the White-Coat Warriors, maliciously undermining Katrina’s authority. This was it.I saw this from afar and said with a smile, “It seems that someone is already dissatisfied and wants to challenge Katrina.”I said, tilting my head; I glanced at Xavier wondering what he was thinking. I saw him clench his jaws as he watched everything unfold.“S is good at Elite combat. I wonder how Katrina will lose shamefully,” I added, hoping I could get a reaction from him.Xavier folded his arms and said, “I’m not sure who will win.”“Husband, are you biased towards
Katrina’s point of viewI fell in stance as Benny and I circled each other. My fists in front of me. He landed the first blow, and I felt my inside turn as I winced in pain, staggering back.‘Please do not tell me you are going to let an omega beat you’ Sage commented as I tried to gain my composure again.‘Shut up, please. You are not being helpful’ I retorted, starting to circle him again.‘I cannot believe you are going to let him humiliate us like this. I cannot watch this’ She closes her eyes, avoiding watching the little show I was putting on.‘Oh sage, ye of little faith. If we finish it quickly, where is the fun in that?’ I asked her as she glanced back, trying to watch as Benny landed a blow on my face.‘I do not care. Just do not give me the job to heal your bruises because I am not fucking doing it.’ She complained as I threw a punch, and he blew it.He tries to throw a punch with his right hand, but I block it, keeping his hand occupied. I do a back flip, kicking him
Lucius’ point of view“What were you thinking?” I snapped at her as she furrowed her eyebrows looking at me.“I am sorry. But are you not the one who asked people to challenge me if they wanted to be appointed captain?” she raises her brows.‘She is right. It was you’ Zane, my wolf added.“I did. But I did not think you would be foolish enough to accept the challenge knowing that you are injured,” I growled.There is a look of confusion on her face as she covers her breasts, but I cannot but notice all the blue marks on her body.“How did you know about—” She pauses when we hear voices coming towards the tents.“That does not matter. You took a fucking risk, which you should not have,” I fumed as he shook her head in disbelief.I was worried about her and the fact that Ben might have realized she was hurt and used that to his advantage.‘She was holding back. We have seen her fight, and that was just nothing’ Zane echoes on as I stared her down.“I am fine. And broken ribs will heal
Bianca’s point of viewI stood there with my hands in my pockets watching Benny being beaten to a pulp but no other than Katrina and said disdainfully, “Is that all? Benny would not be a puppet arranged by Lucius; would he be?” I asked Xavier who let out an exasperated sigh like I was irritating him with everything I was saying.“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked him, raising a brow.‘I do not know, Bianca. You have become so obsessed with Katrina that I cannot have a conversation with you without talking about her,’ he complained, putting his hands in his pockets as I watched Katrina try to act like the bigger person.“She is not doing anything to him. She should snap his neck if this is not some show they are putting on,” I added, ignoring him and his little tantrum as I tilted my head, watching him and Katrina.“Right, these people all listen to Lucius. Whoever Lucius tells them to submit to, they will submit to.”“It did not even take her more than ten minutes to get him to y
Katrina’s point of viewTwo days later“So?” Lucius asked me, crossing his arms.I just got back this morning after making my way to the pack. He asked me to check on the details.I looked around the stench of blood filling my nostrils. This tent was so cold and full of bandages.“Um…” I stuttered, not sure I could even manage to sleep in this room. It looks like no one has slept in the bed for days.“Katrina? You said you had something to report?’ he asked me as I nodded my head, swallowing hard.“Well, I do,” I say, shaking my head as he tilts his head, trying to check my face, but my mind is anywhere but here.This place needs someone to clear it up. “Why don’t you let someone learn here?” I turn to him as he sighs heavily, Raising a brow.“Well…” he pauses as he looks at the bandages on the bed and chair. “I don’t think anyone wants a leader who seems to be covered in wounds always,” he says to me, looking away from me. My heart breaks for him because he constantly must deal with
Katrina’s point of viewI finished my training for the day and returned to my tent. I could not keep my mind off that necklace in Lucius’s cabinet.Bianca sneered behind me, “Some people do not even try to pretend. You have ruined the reputation of the Snowpack.”I almost laugh as I turn to look at her. Snowpack? She was worried about the reputation of my pack. How ironic?I turned around and said, “What do you have to do with the reputation of the Snowpack!” Crossing my arms as I raise a brow.“Why are you still pretending to be innocent? I have seen everything. It is only a simple matter for Alpha Lucius to hand over command of the Elite to you,” she says, crossing her arms as she stares me down.I am curious to know if she saw me come out of Lucius’s tent or if it was just her stupid speculations.“Why did you even bother to bring Ben out to play along with you? Do you think that way, the other warriors will be convinced? Do you take everyone for a fool? Do you think people are bli
Bianca’s point of view“No, I must find a way to take back the Elite Warrior!” I thought to myself, biting on my fingernails like I always do when I’m overthinking somethingI needed to speak to Lucius. I know he will be against me if I decide to do it on my own, so I need to get his permission first. I went to Lucius’s room alone but found two men stationed outside his tent. “I demand to see the commander!” I said to them as they looked at each other.“Not now. Come back later” One of them arrogantly dismissed me as I rolled his eyes.“Do it now. I don’t have time to come back tomorrow,” I demanded when Lucius shouted, “Come in!”I entered and found that Lucius was not alone in the pack tent. There were three other captains, but none of them paid any attention to me,“Commander, since you have summoned all the captains to discuss the situation, why didn’t you invite my husband and me to come along?” I asked, my eyes roaming around his private tent, a bed in the corner, a cabinet just
Lucius’s point of view‘Make sure you tell her this time.’ My wolf Zane said as I looked at the door Bianca had just walked through.‘No. She can handle herself’ I said, clenching my fists.‘She can, but last time she was furious because you did not tell her. I could tell from the way her aura’ he advises, but I block him out.After Bianca left, Captain Archer asked me, “Commander, the White-Coat Warriors have been handed over to Katrina, so why did you agree to Bianca’s request? Nowadays, although there are fewer troublemakers in the army, there is still a lot of private gossip, saying that Katrina Snow is not worthy of the position. If Katrina Snow loses...” he pauses, glancing.“Katrina Snow will not lose,” I say confidently. Even though I have never seen Bianca, I know with Katrina’s ability, she can’t lose like that.Since there are still people in the reinforcements who are dissatisfied with Katrina, and there are people who want to humiliate themselves and act stupidly, then
Lucius’s point of viewI am running late. My phone battery is dead. I forgot to charge it.Fuck.Why did this have to happen today? I checked my wristwatch, and it was half past six. The fucking meeting keeps on going on and on.As Cassian went on about security, my mind kept drifting to Katrina. The thought of her waiting for me made my heart ache.Why did I agree to this meeting? Katrina deserves better. I should be there with her, not stuck here.“Good. Lucius, anything to add?” he asks me, and I shake my head.The asshole acts like he knew I am going on a date with Katrina and trying to stop me. It took everything in me to ask her out despite the circumstances, and on our first date. I am late.What does that make me?‘A man trying his best to juggle so many balls,’ Zane growls‘Yes. But Katrina should come first above everything else. She shouldn’t even be among the balls I am juggling,’ I growl as I tilt my head while they discuss finance.With every passing minute, I felt the w
Katrina’s Point of View“You wanted to see me?” I ask Lucius later in the day when I head over to his office. He seems so busy scribbling something in his document.He stops his scribbling and watches me as soon as he hears my voice. His eyes trail from my boots and then go up to my face.I decided to wear my official uniform today: black trousers with several pockets, a black T-shirt, and a black jacket, the sleeves of which, of course, have my ranks.Three on the left and three on the right. The first one is the crest of my house, then the second is when I was made captain, then the third for deputy commander. I skipped some ranks, hence why I have three instead of five.I should have been a lieutenant, major and then deputy commander“Why do you love black?” He asks me, and I raise my eyebrows. The good part is that without uniforms, you can choose whatever colour you want as long as the colour of your uniform and sleeveless are correct. In my case, I settled for black with gold an
Lucius’s Point of View“So, you and Katrina?” Noah asked me as we sparred in the gym. I threw a punch, and he ducked before throwing his own and landing in my ribs.“Don’t you know how to mind your own fucking business?” I growled before throwing a kick at him and blocking it.“I can’t mind my own business if every time I am around you, you have her scent on you> No wonder Cassian is pissed,” He growls, putting more effort into his punches but I throw a punch just missing his jaw by a fraction.“I don’t care what everyone thinks. My business with her is between the two of us,” I say, doing an ankle sweep, and he falls to the ground, lying on his back.I put my boot on his neck, a smile spread on my lips. “Too predictable”“Yeah. Yes. We know” he pushes my foot away and smirks before coming closer to where I am standing.“People are worried. It might not be their business, but you know a Snow can’t marry into royalty, so why are you forcing this?” he asks me, wiping his face and neck.
Bianca’s point of view“Did you do it?” Xavier barged into my room as I applied concealer to my scars, which were now healing.“I don’t know what you are talking about” I replied reluctantly, turning my head left and right to check how I had done with the makeup.Maybe the concealer? To hide the scars. Misty was still weak, and the damage was already done, so there was no point in trying to fix it anymore.He slapped the bottle of concealer so hard everything spilt to the ground. I lifted my gaze, clenching my fists tight.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I snapped.He grabbed me by my arm, his nails digging deep into my skin as I looked into his eyes.“What is wrong with you?”“I didn’t do anything!” I snapped, pulling out my hand from his grip, but he pulled me back, making me hit me in his chest.My eyes met with his and those eyes that looked at me with so much love and desire were just filled with—hatred and disgust.“Xavier stop. You are hurting me” I complained, and he cont
Katrina’s Point of View“You have been quiet” Becky says the following day in the evening when she joins me in the living room where I am sprawled on the couch with my hands under my head while I watch the latest episode of my favourite series.She plops down on the couch, her eyes still on me as I close my eyes, shaking my head. Then shifted my attention back to the TV.“Is everything okay between you and the commander?” She tells me as I inhale sharply.Turning my attention to her. I would love to talk about everything happening with someone, but I am not sure she is the right person I should be talking to.“It is nothing. Pretty sure, just exhausted” I force a smile, and she nods her head, just staring at me without saying anything.I shift about to grab my stuff so that I can rest in my bedroom.“You do not have to leave because of me. I can go” she says grabbing her things and about to stand up and I stare at her.I have never been good at discussing my problems with anyone. But
Katrina’s point of viewOnce we get back in the car, Lucius does not say anything but drives back to the house. “Get some rest. I will pass through later” he says to me as I purse my lips together, thinking of what he said earlier to me.“I will quickly change. I want to be in that meeting,” I say getting out of the car. “Kat, wait. You do not have to come with me”“I know more about Dark Wolves than you think. Give me a minute” before he can even say no., I rush into the house heading straight to my room.I throw Joshua’s clothes on the bed and pull on black baggy jeans and a t-shirt before rushing out of the room.“Kat” Bray Calls before I can leave.“Not now, Bray” I throw over my shoulder, wanting to walk away, but Joshua and Taylor are behind him.“Please, Katrina. Let me at least say something” He pleads as I sigh heavily, crossing my hands over my chest.“Yes?”I was tired of all of this and just wanted to get rid of everything and then move on back to my pack.Now I understand
Katrina’s Point of View“Kat, wait!” Lucius prevented me from following the car, but my friends were in it. I saw them drive by a few minutes ago.“Kat, Calm down. I just linked to Noah. They are fine” he assured me, as I turned to look at him, tears streaming down my cheeks.I do not think I can handle losing any more people. Especially those three. I shook my head as he held my hands tight.“There! They got out” he pointed behind me and I snapped my head towards the car and Joshua and Becky with Bray were walking out of the car towards us.“Wait, did you just call me friend?” Joshua’s sarcastic voice came as I rolled my eyes. Wiping my tears, I peeled myself from Lucius, turning to look at Bray, who looked like he had just seen a ghost.Well, he did just cheat death.“I didn’t say that”“Guys, she just said we are her friends. Friends to the mighty Katrina Snow,” He laughed, coming closer to me as I sighed heavily, shaking my head.“What the hell happened?” Lucius’s voice snapped at
Lucius’s point of view“What did he want?” I ask Katrina as soon as she gets in the car. She looks out the window and then shakes her head.“Kat. You are many things but a good liar? Don’t think so” I turn to her, and she sighs heavily, turning to look at me.“Did you know?”I furrow my eyebrows, wondering what she is talking about. “Know what?”“What’s this Lucius? Your way of having fun? Does it make you powerful knowing that among the three it’s you I... I...” she stutters.“The three? I thought it was only me and the king” I smile, and she just stares at me, about to get out of the car, and I grab her hand pulling her back into the car.“I didn’t know I was in a competition” I state, and she just stares at me.“And I didn’t know I was in a fucking game. Can we just go? I have to check on Bray today” she growls looking out the window. I start the car driving away without saying anything.When we get to the borderlands. I pull over and get out. Noah and other people have already arr
Katrina’s point of viewThe next morning, I had my morning run, and once I was back. I had my shower and got into my jeans and sneakers with an oversized T-shirt.“Hey, Becky?” I shouted after coming out of the bedroom, braiding my hair into a single braid.“Good morning” she beamed with a smile as I shook my head. Getting closer to her.“you said something about a snow not marrying into royalty. What was that about?” I asked her and she glanced at Joshua, who was sitting by the countertop.“Didn’t you learn this during your high school days?” She asked me, as I faked a smile.“No. I skipped high school,” I lied.“Really? I thought you used to go to that boarding school in Silver Fox,” Joshua says as I force a smile.“Don’t believe everything you hear, Joshua.” I say when my phone chimes. My alarm reminds me that I am late for my meeting.“Let’s chat later, okay?” I wave at her before running out of the house. I need to go to the Alpha King’s library and check for myself.Once I get t
