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 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
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
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
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
Katrina’s point of view “Surrogacy? You are asking me to have your children for you?” I asked a bitter taste in my mouth just asking those questions.I feel nauseous just thinking about what Xavier was subjecting me to.Xavier gently stroked Bianca’s face while reassuring her that everything was fine. ”it’s okay, baby. I got this”Is this what a mate bond does to someone? Do they lose their mind?I was once the woman he made those promises to. Those whispers. And now he was asking me to be his surrogate?“If you want your child, I can have a son or daughter with you. But after that, I won’t touch you.” He remarked, turning to look at me as I closed my eyes, chuckling softly.How does he expect me to sleep with him when he has been with her? How does that even make sense?I clench my fists trying to calm myself down when I turn to BiancaI asked Bianca “Do you agree with that?”“I’m not jealous, the one who is not loved is the most pitiful. Xavier and I are just looking out for you. If
Katrina’s Point of View “How dare you disobey and hurt your alpha for an omega?” Mrs Blackwood pretends to pass out from anger, holding her temples.I almost roll my eyes. She can be such a drama queen seriously.“Get Pack, Doctor Andrea over here!” Xavier panicked, rushing to his mother’s while she pretended to be struggling to breathe.“Mother, you’d better get some rest. After all, Doctor Andrea is almost finished with the medication he prescribed for you. The Doctor won’t be coming back again.” I murmur, leaning in as I help Thelma to her feet.“Katrina, how dare you stop a doctor from coming to treat my mother? You miscreant bitch!” Xavier spat, his eyes flickering.“Alpha Xavier, it was Doctor Andrea himself who resigned. He felt that treating people with disgusting ethics would be a stain on his professional reputation.” I smirked, doing back the urge to burst out laughing at the scene unfolding before me. He thought people would stay?I helped Thelma up and was about to leave

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
