Katrina’s Point of ViewThe next day, Thelma was very worried when she heard that I had been escorted back by Alpha King’s guards last night.They even made sure I was in my room before they went back and started guarding me outside.“Luna, what’s going on?”I paced as I pondered in my room, biting my lower lip as I lifted my head to look at her. She came running first thing in the morning when she got word of what happened to me. “Alpha King has someone watching me every day now, but I have something important that I must do and I need to leave the pack.” I said to her as she raised her eyebrow.‘Maybe he just doesn’t want you to get hurt,’ Sage added‘Or maybe he has something to do with this’ I countered. I don’t understand with her obsession with him, but then again, sage can be like that for handsome men‘I’m not!’ She retorted.‘Yes. You are. You will not reason as long as there’s a handsome face in front of you,’ I retorted. She is quite the opposite of me.She is sassy and
Katrina’s Point of View‘Kat!’ He anxiously came over to try to hold my hand, but I avoided him by pouring myself a cup of coffee, moving away from him, and leaving him standing there all by himself.He paused for a moment not to insist, and then said, “Kat, my mother has had a stroke! I can’t get Doctor Andrea to come and treat her! And I can’t afford that expensive medicine she needs! Those bastards just want to make things difficult for me. I don’t know what to do.” He complained while I sipped on the coffee, not bothering to give him some. ‘Oh, he has guts!’ Sage surfaced ‘Coming here and trying to get you to help his mother?’ She scoffs, rolling her eyes.‘He only wants what you can give him such a greedy man,’ she retortedIt was now that I was seeing that Xavier was more brawn than brain. Such a sad sight to see.Glad I dodged a bullet when he married Bianca. They deserve each other,I knew they wouldn’t be able to afford him after all the expensive treatments were paid for
Katrina's Point of viewI am free in the wild; I have been trapped in Luna’s life for so long that I almost forgot who I am.I forgot how it felt to feel the air blow through my hair, or the adrenaline rush when I’m fighting for my life.Five days later, I drove to the front line of the southern battlefield and the crescent pack.I pulled over in front of the first gate a few warning shots fired, making me stop the car as I heard grunts and sounds of boots My eyes roamed around, wondering what I was thinking of coming here in the middle of the night. I’m sure they must think I’m some intruder.I wanted to step out, but what stopped me were a dozen well-trained wolves, their fierce eyes shining even in the dark of a moonless night.Low growls and howls fill my ears as I sigh heavily. The only light shining is that of my car and the spotlights.Some pointed their guns at me, while some of them were still in their wolf form. Lights flashed at me as I sighed heavily, covering my eyes.The
Lucius’s point of viewI looked at the stunning she-wolf in front of me. The darkness and her fatigue could not hide her astonishing beauty. She had not changed in the slightest.Still brave and stubborn. But I was curious what would have made her come all the way here.“I was curious to know what brought her all the way here.My mind flashed back to two years ago.The Pack House of Snow Pack.Luna Lilibet, Katrina’s mother, looked at me in alarm. The lady looked very sickly and pale, and after going through the funeral of her mate and son, she looked even more fragile.Here I was, standing before a woman I have only heard about but never seen before.I lowered my head before her as she gestured for me to sit down on the chair.“To what do I owe this visit?” She asked, her voice weak and soft-spoken. I sit on the edge of the couch, taking out something from my bag.I will push over a green gemstone necklace and a dagger. She raised a brow as if asking me what I was doing. “I plan ongo
Katrina’s point of viewHe led the way through the crowd as everyone stared at me. My eyes roamed around, spotting the pit fire in the middle of the camp with the men and women around it.He opened the tent for me to walk in and I lowered my head slightly.I walked into his command tent and was immediately choked by the powerful smell of blood. I tried to hold it in as he led the way.“Damn, this stinks’ Sage remarked.“Well, this is war. People are injured every minute so nothing surprises me’ “It stinks.’ She complains.“This is where you and I should be. You need to toughen up,’ I retorted, my eyes searching and on guard.“No, thank you. Give him his report and get me out of here’ The tent was sparsely decorated and furnished, with bloody bandages and scattered pills everywhere. There was an enormous map on the table. This is the battlefield.It looked very deserted, like a mobile bed on the move, without any trace of home. My eye roamed all over the room but he just stood ther
Katrina’s point of view“You are not the only one in business with Silverfox.”“When I was still a child, I used to go to the Silverfox Pack, where I heard about a very naughty but also very talented little girl called Kat. Everyone at Silverfox spoke highly of her, and she was the one doing all the tricks. Was that you?”I wanted to cry the moment I heard it.“He heard about us?’ Sage asked, raising one of her thick browsSince the tragedy, I was no longer the girl who could do whatever she wanted thanks to the support of her family.“I am not sure. Kat is a very common name, and I'm sure Silverfox has many little girls named Kat.” I retorted,He holds my gaze, but I am the first to look away. My knees are giving in and my eyes are heavy.After five days of non-stop travelling, I was a little tired and felt my legs go weak.I was about to fall to the side, but Lucius caught me before I hit the ground. That was fast. My eyes widened as I looked into his eyes.My heart races when I’m
Cassian’s point of viewTwo months later, Alpha King’s Pack HouseLooking up from my work, something crosses my mind that it’s been quiet the last few months from Katrina after she was taken back to her pack, Snow.I asked Ryan my beta, “Has Luna Katrina made any recent moves?”Beta stifled a smirk and teased me. “If you want to know, you can ask her yourself. Last time I checked, your legs are free.”I scoffed, shaking my head. She's never serious about anything. Of course, I want to know how she is doing, but I just can’t show up on her doorstep to check how she is.“I don’t want to know if she’s fine. Just want to know if she’s still going about making accusations,” I retorted,Lies. Those were lies.I wanted to know how she was doing. I needed to know that she was safe.“Well, no report has come from the men there. It seems everything is normal” he doesn’t look up from his book, which he seems to be buried in these days.Maybe I was too harsh on her, but she shouldn’t have lied li
Xavier’s Point of ViewI’m going to war again. It’s something I thought we would stay away from in our first year of marriage.Katrina had to offer herself to go to Crescent Pack.We still tremble at the pressure of Alpha King’s rage. The man has a way of instilling fear into you that you just can’t help but submit. His aura is just too powerful. Bianca was still immersed in the excitement. Her eyes are full of anticipation for war. I know she has always been born for war, and she is only at her best on the battlefield.I knew from the first moment I saw her on the battlefield that I would never find another she-wolf like her.She was the one for me.She hasn’t stopped taking tactics and what we need since we stepped out of that office. She has everything planned out.This is what I love about her. Once she is going to battle. She becomes this badass who will not let anything stop her.She was so perfect for me.After we left the Pack House, I stopped Bianca, who had been giving me t
Katrina’s Point of View“When my father decided to build these cells, some years back. He asked me for suggestions, so I told him to have a way to block the cells from opening the door from the outside. Create something like a failsafe. When under attack, you can use it as a bunker, and he was excited,” I said while walking towards him.“Do you know what death does to someone?” I ask him, taking out my blade from my thigh in its sheath.He doesn’t respond, so I continue, “To others, it makes them look at life differently. They might want to change but for others. It just numbs them,” I say, making my way closer to him, and he swallows hard.“I didn’t realize how numb it made me until I lost my friend a few months ago. She was the only family I had left because someone decided to betray us. I lost her. Just like my family and Pack.” I say, holding my blade by its hilt, and he smiles.“I hate inflicting pain, but when necessary, I must do it. And lately, I have this urge to hurt someone
Katrina’s point of view“Lucius,” I pull away from him, out of breath.“I know. Just give me a minute, I need you… So much…” he mumbles, trying to kiss me, but I pull back.“It’s six in the morning. We don’t want to give people a show,” I whisper as he drops his head to my forehead.He inhales sharply before nodding his head. “Give me a minute,” he whispers as he continues to take deep breaths.“Okay. Let’s go,” he says before opening the door. I sit waiting for him to come and open mine, and once I get down, he tries to take my hand, but I shake my head.‘We are at work.’ I link to him, a smile on my face.He lets out an exasperated sigh before nodding. We agreed to always be professional while at work or when on duty. Outside of that, we were just like any other couple.He gives me a nod, falling in step with me. We walk through the doors and go through the procedure of singing in before making our way through the grey walls and the steel doors leading to the holding cells.We take
Katrina’s Point of ViewLucius’s hand was firm and reassuring as he took mine, leading the way out of the corridors. The warmth of his touch provided a sense of security and comfort.“You.” He pointed to one maid who was walking towards the ballroom.“Your slippers,” he orders as I gasp, turning to him“Lucius. I am fine, you don’t have to. I’m sorry,” I say, the last part meant for the maid who bows her head, taking off her slippers.“Lucius, please. I can walk like this. I just need to get to—”“Fine. If you can’t take the slippers, then I’m carrying you,” he chimes in, but before I can even protest, he scoops me up in his arms, bridal style, and starts walking towards the door.“Lucius. I can—”“Stay like this. I need to feel you close to me,” he whispers, his eyes looking ahead, not even bothering to look at me.“I might have Cassian’s Scent,” I say to himHe just nods. He doesn’t say anything, but just keeps walking.I wrap my arms around his neck as he continues to walk. I smile
Katrina’s Point of View“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t—” I pull back from Cassian. Cassian’s touch was gentle and warm, like the comforting embrace of a summer breeze. His knuckles brushed against my skin, leaving a trail of warmth that soothed my aching heart.“You have been strong for so long, Katrina. There’s nothing about being like this.” he wipes my tears again, this time with his knuckles.“I shouldn’t have—You are the alpha King”“No. Behind these walls, I am Cassian. Your friend and your first crush,” he says, and I chuckle, shaking my head.“You have seen me at my lowest. So why should you apologize? Can’t I see you like this?” He asks me. I drop my gaze.Cassian’s fingers pinched my chin gently, lifting my head with a firm yet tender touch. The warmth of his skin against mine sent a shiver down my spine.“Being friends doesn’t mean I should only see you at your strongest. It also means I can see you at your lowest and still be there for you. That’s just life my dear Katrina,” he w
Katrina’s point of viewCassian loves me? That’s something I didn’t think I would be hearing after he almost died.I was hoping to thank him, but here he was confessing his feelings to me. I smile weakly at him, helping him back to his bed.“I’m fine, Kat. You don’t need to do this.” He protests.I decided I would act like I couldn’t hear him. He almost died. Because of me.‘You don’t have to do this to yourself. He told you why you did it’ Sage echoes, but I can’t help feeling like I might have done something wrong.‘I know. But we need to make sure he is fine,’ I insist.‘And the Alpha Prince? We both know the only reason his not storming in this room to take us out of here is because he believes the Alpha King is sick,’ Sage reminded me while I helped Cassian back to the bed.‘I know. We are leaving soon’ I say. My eyes are still on Cassian, who lies back on the bed as I pull the blanket to cover him.“Can I ask you something?” He asks me as I smile weakly at him, nodding my head.
Bianca’s point of view“The alpha king was attacked?” I sprang up to my feet, a hand on my belly as my Omega continued to deliver the meeting.My heart raced as I thought of what happened. “And you are telling me he threw himself in front of that bitch? To protect her?” I asked, repeating every word she just said, like I didn’t hear her correctly.That bitch.Wait—this is perfect.A smile curled up on my lips. With her failing to protect the king. This could work in my favor.“I need to get to the palace,” I demanded.“Luna. I don’t think it’s a good idea. Your brother, Alpha Martin, was clear—”“I can go with my brother later. I need to get to the palace,” I demanded, making my way out of the bedroom where I was resting.Lately, my back has been giving me problems, so I tend to rest. “Car keys?” I asked the soldier who was standing guard for the day.“Luna. I don’t think—”“I don’t want to hear it.” I chimed in, grabbing the car keys from him and then making my way to the garage.I w
Cassian’s point of viewShe’s alive. She is safe.That’s all that matters. Lucius will take the throne, and I am sure he will do everything he can to protect her.That is the only outcome I will allow.“No. You can’t die… Cass…” she cried, her arms feeling like home. It is so warm and safe.“Don’t cry over me, Kat.” I lifted my hand, trying to wipe her tears, but she whimpered even more.“You were the rarest ray of sunshine in my life, Katrina,” I whisper, and she shakes her head, pressing hard on my wound.My heart was pounding hard, and then suddenly it slowed down. I find myself gasping for air, but she holds tight to me.“You will live. Do you understand? You must live, Cass!” She calls me the name she always called me, bringing a smile to my face.“I got him. You need to let him go now, Kitten,” Lucius’s voice comes, and he pulls her away from her.Kitten?I almost want to laugh at the nickname that she almost ripped out my tongue for calling her when we were kids.“Kat,” I whisp
Katrina’s Point of ViewAttack? On the Capital?My heart raced as I scanned the chaotic room, my eyes darting from one corner to another. I clenched my fists, my knuckles turning white, as thoughts of Cassian's safety consumed my mind.Was he safe?“What did you just say?” Lucius questioned the man who had just come running. “Rogues?” I ask, joining the man as he shakes his head.“Dark ones.” He barks.Lucius and I swap looks before shifting our attention to him. “Why attack now? Why not wait?” Noah asks as we all rush out of the ballroom, trying to make our way out of the house.“The Alpha King,” I whisper, and everyone turns to look at me.“He had a dinner date downtown,” I whisper as Lucius turns to look at me, raising his eyebrows.“How did you—” He raises his brows “You know what? Forget about it” He turns about to leave but I turn to Becky and Joshua who are running towards me with Bray on their heel.“We need to leave, guys. I don’t have all the details,” I bark over my shoulde
Katrina's point of view‘I will never accept someone like you as his wife, ’ the words echoed through my mind as I thought about what Princess Ellie had said earlier to me.‘He has a mate. A woman he has vowed to wait for. Don’t you think you are wasting your time?’ She had asked me.Everything in me wanted to throw up my hands and surrender, but I am a fighter, and I fight for what I want.Lucius said he wanted us to try. He wanted to be mine, just as I wanted to be his. Was he just planning a game with him?‘Of course not! He has shown you around, letting everyone know that you are his!’ Sage retorted, but how could I believe it when his mother doesn’t like me? She hates the idea of me being his wife.He has a mate waiting for him. She had said.My eyes roamed around the room, finding him chatting with some generals. As if on cue, he turned around to face me. My eyes met his ridiculously beautiful smile.A smile that only I get to see.‘What’s in your pretty head right now?’ He l
