Katrina’s point of viewMy head is spinning, and everything feels like it's upside down. Bray is whimpering.His voice breaks. He sounds in pain.My eyes snap open as I look around. I am in my room.Bray is crying, and Becky is cursing at someone. I can’t hear Joshua.My heart races as I pull off the sheets and then head out. I can pick up unfamiliar scents in my room, so that means many people walked in without my permission.“Bray?” I call, coming out of the bedroom, and heading towards the living room where his voice is.“Bryan?” I call again, blinking back my tears. I hope nothing happens to any of them.“Kat!” He calls coming into the hallway, his face tears stained and eyes red like he has been crying for hours.“Bryan. What’s wrong?” I ask, and he comes running, throwing his arms around me. He breaks down on my shoulder as I pat his back.“Hey. What’s wrong? I am fine,” I whisper to him, and Becky comes again, tears rolling down her cheeks.“Katrina,” she whispers, covering her
Katrina’s point of view“Becky!”“I’m good. Don’t worry,” she shouted as we got up to our feet. I cupped Bray’s face before turning to Noah.Someone wants me dead. I don’t know who, but right now, they want me dead.“We should tell Lucius. About this,” Noah says, grabbing his phone, while his arm is around Becky’s waist.I turned toward the streets, checking who would be so brave to use an RPG in a residential area. “It’s not safe. We need to get back inside the house” Noah suggested, but my eyes narrowed on the figure which was hiding behind the few blocks.“I will be back,” I shouted and broke into a run, going after the person who was hiding behind the trees. “Katrina!” Becky shouts behind me, but I am already chasing down the person who was watching my house.My lungs burn against my ribs, and I am out of breath when I finally skid to a stop. Cornering the man I was chasing.“Why are you chasing me?” he asks, his eyes wild with fear and panting heavily as I shake my head.“Why are
Katrina’s point of view“Where’s he?” I asked Noah as soon as we arrived at the barracks. “Katrina, I think it’s best if…” He tries to reason with me, but I ignore him and approach Lucius’s office.I don’t care if he thinks I cheated on him. He should know better that Joshua only acted like that because he found out Lucius was the one who lost consciousness and wasn’t waking up for days.“Lucius!” I shouted, making my way towards Lucius’s office. Without knocking, I push the door open.“How could you? How dare you lock him up? You know he would never do something like that unless he was scared for my life,” I growled, but he just stared at me, his eyes filling with tears as I looked at him. His heart began to race, jaw tightening as I picked up another scent in the office.“Joshua?” I turned to him, and he smiled weakly at me. He was in his dark green T-shirt and black jeans, sitting on the couch.“Kat… I thought...” He stuttered as he got up from the chair. He wasn’t in cuffs or shac
Lucius’s point of view“No, Mother. You can’t issue such an order. I am the fucking commander!” I growled, and she shook her head in disbelief.“I warned you about that girl, didn’t I? She is trouble. Now she sent her men to come and kill you,” she growled as I rolled my eyes. Trust my mother to be dramatic about something like this. How could she think Katrina would hurt me?“Mother, please. It was just a fight. He got angry, plus he was drunk.” I had insisted, but she also insisted and used her power to have Joshua locked up.Now I had to face the fury of one particular blonde, who was covered in black dirt and her hair disheveled. She is mad because she thinks I will lock up her family.“Lucius,” she pulled away from me, the taste of tears and mint lingering on my lips.“Forgive me. I am so sorry for acting like an asshole.” I whispered to her, and she pulled back.“It’s fine. I would have acted like that as well,” she says, sniffling back.“I can’t believe you would lock him up. N
Katrina’s point of view“Let’s get married,” he says, and my heart stops.I lift my head to look at him, and he seems serious about this. He is not joking, but serious. He wants to marry me.“Lucius. We can’t”“I will leave everything. My title, my name, my position. Just marry me” He murmurs, and I shake my head. I am not subjecting his family to something like this.“Lucius This Is—”“Say yes and I will walk away from everything for us,” he says, but I don’t think I am ready to make such a decision.“Lucius, I love you, but don’t you think this is just too rushed? You just can’t wake up and leave everything in the middle of the war,” I shake my head.‘Marry him and leave everything. For once, Katrina, put yourself first,’ Sage remarks.‘I’m not that selfish. You know that.’ I snap, staring at the man who is willing to risk everything for me.“No one would marry us. It’s a forbidden union,” I insist.“A couple of packs owe me favors.” He comes closer, wrapping his hand around my wais
Katrina’s point of view“Orion Snow? How did you… how…” I stuttered, tears rolling down my cheeks as he came closer to where I was.“Shannon did a bit of digging, plus your friend Juniper gave me the details,” he says, as I bring my hand to my mouth. He was trying to find them as well.“Let’s go.” He places his hand on my small back, leading the way. I make my way out of the room when I see Bray, Joshua, and Becky pacing around.“I take it I don’t have to punch him again?” Joshua asks, and I shake my head, chuckling softly.“Like you would stand a chance,” Lucius mutters under his breath“Well, at least I tried,” He retorts.“That was brave and stupid,” I say to him, and he shrugs.“At least he knows some people are willing to kill for you,” he laughs, wrapping his arm around Bray’s neck. “Isn’t that right, Bryan?” he asked. Bryan tried to get away from him, but he held on tight.“Where are we going?” Becky asks to join us.“I am going to Green Point. You and them are going back home.
Katrina’s Point of ViewA year. An entire year. I have dreamt of this moment for one year. The moment I would finally get to live my dream.The man I love is coming back home. Coming back to me.I decided that it was time for us to finally become true mates and that there would be no more secrets.Growing up, I always thought that all werewolves could do what my wolf could do, but then I realised that wasn't the case.‘We are special’ Sage echoedI'm going to tell him!I had them prepare all his favourite food because I’m sure he didn’t have them when he was away.After checking everything in the kitchen, I made my way to my bedroom. I had asked some people to pick him up from the airport since he was arriving in an hour; I needed to get everything ready.I quickly took a shower. After I was done, I changed into a light blue, silky, floor-length dress and some sandals.I placed my hand on my marking spot as I smiled at myself” I promise when I come back to put my mark here. Oh, I’m go
Katrina’s point of viewMy mate Xavier and his beautiful Gamma Bianca are laughing and eating like they’re on a first date. But the joke is on me…It was like hot wax was being poured into my ears just hearing how happy he was with her. He kisses her neck, whispering into her ears and I try so much not to listen to it.He said “This is my future Luna, Bianca from the Black Fang”He introduced her as she bowed her head before Mrs. Blackwood, who beamed with a smile as she placed her hand on Bianca’s shoulder.Xavier pulled her closer to him, his arm around her waist as he told his mother how she saved him and how she fought so bravely during the battles they both went to.She had a pixie cut, with plumped-up lips and high cheekbones. She wore baggy jeans with a crop top and high-heeled boots.I watched him as he kissed her temples so gently, unable to keep his hands away from her.He didn’t have any shame.Mrs Blackwood looked me up like I was some bad omen who just took away her happin

Lucius’s point of viewHe kissed her. He kissed her even after I told him she was my mate, and they dared to lie to me.I laughed, just thinking of what had just happened.“She is fine. I will run a few tests and see how it goes,” the doctor explained as I leaned against the wall while Cassian sat on the bed.As if kissing her wasn’t enough, he still acts like this is fine. He was getting closer to her while I was here.‘Maybe they didn’t—”‘You saw them, Zane. he was kissing her,’ I retorted, my voice breaking. I had refused to believe it, but now, not so sure.I had tried to use our bond earlier, and she blocked me out. It was because he was with her, and they wanted to be alone.Like always, I am the last one she chooses.She will never choose me.‘She chose you before she even knew who you were. Don’t do this to yourself, Lucius,' Zane echoed, but I just blinked back my tears.“Thank you. Let me know the details of those results,” Cassian said as he took her hand in his. I almost
Katrina’s point of view“Sorry, I didn’t believe you. I am sorry I never came back that night. I am sorry I am not the perfect king, but I will never be sorry for not letting you out of this room. So, you will stay here until I sort it out, then we can talk again,” he says, wanting to touch my face, but I move my head back.He smiles, nodding his head. “I understand. So, I will let you cool down then we can think of the way forward” he says getting up to his feet. He inhales sharply before looking at me.“You are strong, Kat. Don’t let Bianca be the reason you finally snap.”“Maybe I don’t want to live this life anymore. It would be better if I killed her and joined my family,” I say, tears rolling down my cheeks as he comes back to kneel in front of me.“And the little those four kids you live with? What happens to them then?” He asks me as I blink back my tears, my throat tightening.“Not many people would stand up to an alpha king to protect someone, but they did this morning.”My
Katrina’s point of view“I am a failure,” I admitted, my shoulders drooping as Jamie laughed, coming closer to me, holding me by my shoulders,“Look at meI shake my head. I have failed again. I failed to hit the target again, even though we have been at it for days now.“Kit Kat, look at me. Pretty please?” He asked in a soft voice with affection, and I lifted my gaze to meet his ocean-blue eyes.“It’s not a failure if you keep trying. You only fail when you stop trying” his lips turned up in a smile and I nodded, throwing my arms around him, but everything became blurry.“No! No! Jamie! Jamie!” I cried, my hands shooting out to grab the person who was holding me down.“Kat. It’s me,” Cassian’s voice came as I sat up, tears rolling down my cheeks, as I looked at him.“She killed them. She fucking killed them Cass” I tried to take his hand but then remembered my conversation with him earlier.“I’m sorry. Forgive me,” I said, getting off the bed as he lowered his head, pinching the bri
