Katrina’s point of viewI arrived back in the garden and noticed Lucius was chatting with an older woman who kept checking his face if he was okay. I quickly masked my scent before striding into the garden the alpha King had arrived already, and Xavier was by the table where I was meant to sit.“Hey, Kat!” Joshua waved at me, beaming with a smile as everyone turned to look at me. I forced a smile before going to them. I would rather sit with the captains than share a table with Xavier.I might just end up killing him the way I was feeling.“I saved you a seat.” He said to me, getting up to pull the chair for me. “If only you were always that polite towards women” Becky muttered under her breath.“I am a gentleman to ladies. While you, on the other hand, I would not consider you a lady,” He retorted, and Taylor snorted as Becky tried to hit him.“See what I mean?” He raises a brow, and I shake my head sitting back.“Where is Bray?”“Here. Went to get you a plate” he says coming over wi
Katrina’s point of viewI stood in front of the house I was thinking of renting, and it was exactly what I wanted. I walked around the living room smiling as everyone started rushing to their rooms.“The main bedroom is mine! My boxes are already there!” I shouted after Joshua, who was running after Becky, trying to find a bedroom.“You look sad today” Bray said to me as I turned to him.“Just tired, Bray. Are you not going to check your room?” I asked him and he shook his head.“Whatever I can get is never for me.” He says to me as I look around the house.Thelma would have loved the house. Especially the kitchen. It had an island counter with a stove on it.“Go check on your room. I am sure you will love it” I pushed Bray, who started walking away but stopped midway, glancing at me as I forced a smile.I spent the rest of the time going around the rest of the house, and once I was done. I fixed up my room and after taking a shower.I sat down on the bed, trying to read.*“Kat?”“Ju
Lucius’s point of viewI felt her gaze on me even as we walked to the bike. She did not move and her hands just hung there.“You can put me down. People will start talking” she said to me looking up at me, but I pulled her closer to me.I do not care if people see me, or if they want to talk. She was mine, and I was going to make sure everyone knew it.“You are sick. I cannot let you walk around” I retorted, looking ahead. I did not want to look at her. Because fuck, just one look at those lips. I will want to kiss her again.I would how they would feel around my cock.‘Maybe we should try it next time we are with her’ Zane smirked as I put her on the bike, and she grabbed the helmet.“Here. We will visit the doctor first, then can go home”“I am fine. Just need some rest.”“I wasn’t asking,” I said, putting the helmet on her and then getting on the bike.“Hand here” I said, taking her hands and bringing them around my middle. I loved the way her small hand felt around me. Or the way
Katrina’s point of view“No! How can we take the word of that woman? She brought war to our doorstep. Are we to just believe that she feels she has avenged her mate, and we move on?” One of the council elders growled.“Of course we should. The war began when your daughter decided to go after them. If there is anyone to blame for the war in the last two or three years, it is your pack!” Another council elder accused and my eyes snapped towards Alpha Blackfang, who only arrived this morning.I did not know he was also a council elder.“And what are we to believe? A woman who seems to have a personal vendetta against my daughter. She only accused my daughter because her husband chose my daughter over her,” the man accused.I clenched tight to my pen, trying to keep Sage at bay. She was not having any of this.“Katrina did not send the report. I did. And I have five other people to confirm it.” Lucius retorted, sitting back in his chair.“Oh please. Am I to believe that? Because from what
Katrina’s Point of ViewMy heart pounded so hard as I looked at the alpha king. He wasn’t serious. There was no way he was thinking of letting Lucius marry a rogue.“Lucius?” Alpha Brett asked, a smirk on his face. He looked at me as I lowered my eyes to the ground.He wanted Lucius to marry someone from the Rogue Pack.“What did you just say?” Lucius asked, looking at Cassian.“You are one of the highest-ranking alphas who are still single. Unfortunately, Bolton is out of the topic, and women in high-ranking positions are married.”“Your Highness, I believe it would be better if we had a woman like Luna Katrina to get married. “I understand that the rogue king is also single,” Alpha Brett remarked with a laugh, and several individuals nodded in agreement.Fuck no.I would rather slit my throat than get married to a man, not of my choosing. Especially a rogue king.“Luna Katrina is out of the question,” he said in a tone that sent shivers down my spine.“Your Highness, she is— ““I sa
Lucius’s Point of View“I am not marrying that woman you are thinking of!” I stormed into Cassian’s office immediately after I followed him behind.He sighed heavily, signing whatever he was working on before shifting his attention to me.“Of course you are. You are single and wealthy. Gamma Suri will be— ““Gamma Suri? You are joking”He scoffs before sitting back in the chair. “Do I look like a joke to you?” He asked me.“This isn’t about uniting the two packs. This is about Katrina, isn’t it?” I ask him, and he doesn’t even bother denying it as he smiles before leaning forward.“You will marry Gamma Suri. I hear she is good in battle and has never been— ““Fuck No! You want to unite your Kingdom, marry her yourself”He sits back, staring at me while I pace around in front of him, but my eyes go out the window. What the hell is Bolton doing with Katrina? Something like possessiveness comes over me, and I want to go and take his hands off her.He can’t be touching her. She was mine a
**Katrina’s point of view“Who did you have in mind when you wore this dress?” his throaty voice comes as he kisses my neck.My breath hitches, my heart drumming so loud.“No one,” I whisper, but he scoffs, bringing his hand to my leg, and gently stroking my thigh. “Liar”Of course, I wore this dress thinking of him. I wanted to see that fire in his eyes when he looked at me.For some stupid reason, I find myself every time wanting him to look at me like I am the only woman in the room.“Do you know what I do to people who lie to me?” He asks me, his hand coming up as I close my eyes.Probably torture them.I nod.He smirks. “Then you know what I will do to you” He whispers, kissing my neck as his hand moves to my front, cupping my pussy.Using his feet, he pushes one of my legs aside, parting my legs as he slides his hand into my thong.“Turn around and look at how hot you look” he turns me around to face the mirror in front of me.I should pull away from him. I should kick him and
Cassian’s Point of View“Why are you doing this, Cas?” Ryan asked me as I looked around the room where the dinner was taking place.“You want to ask me that right now?” I ask him and he shrugs.“There is a shield around us. Why are you—”“Because I can,” I say and with that, I walk away from him. ‘Get me Katrina. I need to see her before dinner’ I link to Ryan making my way to the balcony.“Alpha King” Xavier bows before me as I walk past him and a few other people that I cannot recognise.‘What do you plan to do with her?’ My wolf asks me as I stare out the window. Lucius has his arms around her, and she stands there, letting him touch her.I clench my fists so tight as I take a deep breath.She is mine.His words play in my mind.“I thought you had that thing there sorted out” Princess Ellie asked me, coming to stand next to me as I swallowed hard, turning to her.“Why should I? He is your son. Not really my problem,” I shrug, and she turns to look at me.“Does not look like it is n
Katrina’s point of view“Just so I am clear. Whatever happens in this car stays in this car. I hear a word of it, and I will be the one slitting your throat,” I growl, before turning to Cassian.“Look at me,” I whisper to him, and he shakes his head, sweat streaming down his forehead.“Cassian, look at me. I am here” I whisper to him, and he slowly opens his eyes, tears in his eyes.“Breath with me”The car starts moving, and he nods his head, repeating after me. “Hold my hand if it gets uncomfortable,” I say to him, and he nods his head before we sit back.I can see Joshua and Beck swapping looks and I know I must explain it to them, but there are only so many people I can trust in the capital, and these two are about forty per cent of those people.“Lucius has all the details for the security. You didn’t have to ask him to stay back.” I start turning to look at Cassian.“His next in line to the throne. If he comes and we end up dying, it would be the end of our bloodline. I can’t ri
Katrina’s point of view“You can’t! He only came because he thought something happened to me” I say to Cassian, trying to walk towards him and he tilts his head, regarding me.“Then he should use more of his head than his emotions,” he retortsI chuckle, shaking my head, “And me? Considering the consequences of coming into your bedroom, is marriage?” I ask.“Wait. I can’t marry a royal, so what? A concubine? A mistress? Or will I be demoted?” I ask him, and he raises his brow.“That’s different”“It’s not. You know the consequences of calling me into your room, and yet you did.” I countered, and he inhaled sharply, looking at me.“I can change the law for you,” he says, and I scoff, shaking my head. I see why Lucius hates him; the man is a two-faced bastard.“For you, I would bring the war to this doorstep and not give a dime,” he saysMy jaw drops as I tilt my head. He can’t possibly be—‘In love with you? Yes, he is’ Sage remarks.“Let’s go. I will handle the disrespect that Lucius
Katrina’s point of view“Cassian! What’s wrong?” I rushed to Cassian, placing a hand on his forehead. He grabs my hand and pulls me into a hug before I can even process everything.I freeze, not sure what to do. “What’s wrong with him?” I ask, panicking as I place a hand on his back.It’s something I shouldn’t do, but I can’t help but do it.“Please, just stay like this with me,” he whispers to me, and I stare at Beta Ryan. “Panic attack,” he mouths to me as I swallow hard, gently stroking his back.“It’s okay. I am not going anywhere” I assure him, while stroking his back., he buries his head in my neck.My heart races thinking of Lucius. What would he say if he saw me cuddling his cousin right now?‘Then let go of him.’ Sage echoes, but I can’t leave someone who needs me alone.“Thank you,” he says to me once his calm, trying to get up to his feet. “what’s going on, Cassian? You suddenly have panic attacks” I say, getting up to my feet and he swallows hard looking at me.I don’t kno
Katrina’s Point of ViewI walked into the meeting room twenty minutes later in my uniform. “You wanted to speak with me?” I asked the man as I entered the room.The man turned to face me, then said sarcastically, “The famous Luna Katrina”“It’s Deputy Commander.” I correct him.His lips turned into a smile, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. Judging by the ranks on his uniform, he must be a major.“What can I do for you?” I tilt my head, watching him. He was about the same height as Lucius, six-four. Maybe six-five? I thought inwardly. My eyes moved to his eyes, the same colour as Bianca’s, blue with a stubble beard, with such huge hands that I wondered if he spent time in the gym alone.“My sister. Bianca. I hear you are the one who—”“Wait!” I lifted my hand, cutting him short. “I don’t have any business with your sister. She confessed her crimes and luckily for her, she is a Blackfang, so won’t get to pay for what she did,” I say, and he strides towards me.“Confessed? You framed
Katrina’s point of view“I love you so much that it hurts when you look at me like that,” he whispered.My body stilled. Letting him hold me.“Lucius”He turns me around so that I am facing him.“I love you so much Katrina and I know right now you don’t to believe me, but I have no problem proving it to you. No matter how long it takes,” he cups my face.My eyes hold his eyes, hoping I could read if his lying to me, but it’s all true. He loves me.He does. My eyes well up, thinking of how desperately I wanted Xavier to love me like this.For him to look at me like this. To know that I am the only woman in his life.“Lucius”“Don’t say anything. Just give me a chance to prove it” he says to me and my heart races shaking my head moving away from him.“No. This is wrong. We would be breaking a lot of rules. You shouldn’t have fallen in love.” I moved away from him.“Fuck the rules. When have I ever given a fuck about them?” he tries to touch me but I back away. This isn’t the man I thoug
Lucius’s Point of View“Why do you insist on this girl? Lucius, you can do better than a divorced Luna,” my mother remarked while I made breakfast for Katrina.How could she understand that Katrina was the one for me? And now that I know she’s mine, I am never letting her go.“And this marriage that Cassian is organizing for you. It’s good for you to get in his good graces,” she went on.“I don’t want to be in his good graces. For fuck’s sake, can we drop this? Katrina will wake up any minute, and I don’t want her to hear you saying such things,” I said, beating the eggs.“That girl? This marriage, once sealed, could save you from being killed by Cassian. Please, Lucius, think about it.” She pleaded, but she was just wasting her breath because my mind was already setup.“I am with Katrina now. And I'm not getting into an arranged marriage,” I snapped,“I can’t believe you want to settle for that girl!”“Mum, please keep your voice down. As I told you, I am not marrying anyone but my m
Katrina’s point of view If someone told me that five months after meeting Lucius, the only thing I would want was his touch every time, I would have called their bluff. But here I am, being carried into his penthouse downtown. My lips devour his lips as he leads me to his bedroom. I frantically try to pull off his jacket, his hands around my waist, while the other one buries itself in my hair, and my legs are wrapped around his waist. Burying my head in his neck, I nibble on his skin. “ You look so beautiful that I want to keep you all to myself” he whispers, kissing me gently like I was a fragile thing that would break if not careful. I bury my fingers in his hair and let his lips devour me like a fire of desire. He lowers me on the bed and spreads my legs as she climbs on top of me, his kisses trailing from my lips to my jaw and then neck. He pulls away briefly, staring into my eyes, “Katrina” “No. Don’t do this, Lucius.” I say, placing a finger on his lips. I am not some vu
Lucius’s point of view“This is beautiful.” She finally says, looking around, a smile on her face.The ambience of the restaurant is warm and cozy. From the low lights that surround the room to the tables, which are covered in creamy clothes and candles on each table.I place my hand on her lower back, and the warmth under my hand makes my heart race. I need to calm the fuck down.. In the corner, a woman is singing some songs. I take my time to look around for any security risks.I have gone on dates that my mum has organized with women from high-ranking packs, but no one has ever made me this nervous and wants everything to be perfect.I let go of her back, pulling a chair for her, and she offers me a smile and then mutters, “Thank you” I walk to the other side and sit down opposite herThe waiter comes and offers us menus with a bottle of wine that I ordered earlier, when I asked Justin to reserve for us when I made my reservation.I take my time to study the menu, and she turns t
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
