Katrina’s Point of ViewHoly shit! Lucius Grimmwolf is kissing me. His lips are on mine.Fuck.I stand still, unsure how to respond. Should I kiss him back or stand here?This is wrong. This is so wrong on many levels.But why do I feel drawn to him? I lean into his touch, my heart racing even more when he brings his hand to the back of my neck, deepening the kiss,“NO!” I managed to say, pushing him back.I shouldn’t be kissing him; He is my commander, which will confirm all the rumours Bianca has been spreading about me. I can’t risk it.“No! Stop.” I hold out my hand and place it on his chest.Fuck. Why does he have to feel like this when I touch him?I take a step back away from him; he seems so fucking nice, and I know if he weren’t my commander I would have lost myself in his touch.“Forgive me, Katrina. I didn’t…: he pauses.‘Why does he have to be so fucking hot?’ Sage finally says as she surfaces. ‘If you don’t want him, I am happy to block him out for you and take charge’
Bianca’s Point of View When I returned to the camp, Xavier, worried, rushed up to me. “Baby, why did you bet so much? Katrina Snow’s fighting skills are not bad. She really could beat you. I saw it before in the pack. You must not be impulsive!’” This fucking thing about her being a good fighter was getting on my nerves. Xavier was acting like Katrina would beat me. ‘Relax, I am not acting on impulse. What I am fighting for today is not just the title of general, but also the right to lead the White-Coat Warriors in the future. After the battle in the south, there will not be any more wars in the pack realm for years. What are we going to do if we do not get any official titles?” I said to him, throwing myself on the bed as I started taking off my coat, and then working my way to my boots. “But if you lose, all the credit goes to nothing. And you must apologize publicly, which does not do your reputation any good in the regiment. How are we going to do it, then?” Xavier asked me, a
Lucius’s point of viewI kissed her. I fucking kissed her.‘And you fucking let her go. We should have claimed her,’ my wolf Zane murmured; I ran my fingers through my air.I can’t believe I did that. Staying away from her is the best option we have right now. I can’t go near her again.‘You will fucking not. She is ours and I will fucking do anything to have her back with me,’ He growled, sounding irritated by my suggestion.‘Yes, we will. We both know Cassian is interested in her, and if that is what I suspect, then we should stay away from her,’ I said, making my way back to my tent.I needed rest for the trip but decided against it. I went to join Noah and his team. As soon as they saw me approaching, they rose to their feet, standing at ease.‘It is okay. Take your seats” I gesture for them, pulling a log for myself. They seem uncomfortable once I join them.This is why I am always alone. Suddenly, the chatter and noise die down once I join them. “That’s how I took the glass
Katrina’s point of viewBefore our challenge, I could sense the two of us were on edge. I circled her, clenching my fists tight.I am not losing today. Today was not the day I lost to her.“Katrina Snow, you are really stupid, stupid enough to think that you can defeat me on the battlefield,” she mockingly said, circling each other.I looked at her feet the way she was moving. I have never seen her fight before, so I do not know how I can predicate her moves.“However, you are not too stupid. You also know to use your father’s connections to get military merit for yourself!” Bianca deliberately said this aloud for everyone to hear.I was sure of it. She just wants everyone to conclude that I used my father’s name to get here.“We risk our lives in battle to earn battle honours. She has not done anything, but she has become a captain! How unfair!” I heard one man shout from the crowd.“Maybe the rouges we kill will end up being her credit!” One of them shouted as I clenched my jaws tig
Katrina’s point of view“Beta Ryann. I didn’t—‘ I paused as he pulled on his coat, his lips turning up in a smile as he walked towards me.“Were you going to kill her?” he asked me as I swallowed hard, shaking my head, as I stood with my legs apart, hands behind, while holding my head up.“Did not think Bianca Blackwood to our kills was on your mind today,” he says to me, going to sit in Lucius’s seat.I press my lips together, looking at him, wondering why he had to travel all the way here to stop my challenge.He seems too friendly and less…‘Formal?’ Sage asks,‘Yes. Less formal.’ I retorted, still watching him as he sat back in the chair, a dark and dominant aura filling the room.“I see you do not have any luck getting rid of those two,” he starts, looking around the tent.“It seems like they just will not let me go. It is getting annoying now” I say to him as he chuckles, nodding his head as he looks at the table.“I am sorry, Beta Ryan, but why did you want to talk to me?
Lucius’s point of view Ryan Fucking Bolton. He dared to show up here, and he was with Katrina of all people? I tried to follow them behind into the tent, but Noah rushed to my side, telling me that there was an emergency. When I got there, it was just some intruder that he could have easily dealt with. “She cheated. I won that challenge!” Katrina complained as I made my way past them. I did not have any time for their tantrums. I had to get to the tent before Bolton ruined everything that I had been working on these past few days. ‘We have been’, Zane corrects, and I mutter something under my breath. I know I will be hearing from Bianca soon, but I need to get to the tent. I fucking hated that the distance I must cover is so long. Once I get to the tent, two guards outside the tent bow their heads to me. I left the curtain on the turn and, of course, his standing so close to her. She is looking up at him, her legs apart and hands behind. ‘Why the fuck is he being inappropriat
Bianca’s point of view“Fuck! Fuck her! I will fucking Kill her” I growled after checking what she had done to my nose.I wasn’t bleeding anymore, but I fucking looked like shit. My heart pounded hard as I looked towards the door of the tent.‘Better watch out Snow because I will kill you’ I growled inwardly clenching my jaw tight. She was going to regret this for the rest of her life.For even trying to come anywhere near me, I will make her pay.“Here. I managed to get some—” Xavier offered me some ice, trying to put it on my nose, but I slapped his hand away. ‘This is your fault. This is your fucking fault!” I fumed, clenching my fists too tight.“Bianca”“No Xavier. This is your fault. You can’t even defend your fucking mate, Xavier. You stood by there and did nothing!” I fumed, pointing at him with my finger.Fuck.“What did you expect me to do? Go against the alpha’s beta?” He asked me as I swallowed hard, shaking my head.“No. You should have stopped him saying I yielded, but y
Katrina’s point of viewMy heart throbbed hard as I held him in my hands. His fever was too high.I lifted him off the ground, placing him on the bed, as I turned him around to check what could be wrong.‘It’s a bite from a dark one’ Sage suggested as I flipped him over to his stomach checking around and it was a bite for sure on his back.‘We need to do something. If we don’t—’ I was about to say when someone entered the tent.I turned around and thank god it’s Elide. “Move aside, we don’t have enough time,” she said as I stepped back. She opened her bag, throwing everything on the bed as I stood aside. “It’s a dark one. He was…”‘I know” She says, pouring whatever it was on his wound. She lifted her a scalpel before chanting something things and I saw it turn red.“What the fuck” the words come out without realizing I said it out loud.“Help me hold him,” she says to me as I rush to his side. I take off my shoes and get on the bed. “Hold him,” she says to me. I put my hands on his s
Xavier’s point of viewI just wanted to go after her when I was surrounded by Rogue. I realised that although the borders of the Crescent Pack had opened, no one had raised a white flag to surrender, and the Rogue alpha was not part of the battle.Even the high-ranking people from his group were not part of it.This is not a surrender! It is a trap to lure the enemy in!Fuck! We were trapped.Red short hair, a scar on the brow> I could not make out exactly the colour of her hair but from the morning light.We had been at this shit for eight fucking hours.Gamma Suri. the fiancée of Rogue King’s son. What the fuck was she doing here instead of her mate?I looked towards her, and she smirked before turning toward where Bianca was. Over a thousand men behind her. “The target has appeared. Get Bianca Blackfang for me alive!” she said calmly, and all of them went out running, not toward Bianca, but away.“Bianca!” I tried to link to her, but I hit a brick wall every time I tried. She had
Katrina’s point of viewPush. Push, no matter what.I could feel my lungs burn, almost out of breath, but I would not stop. I wanted to make sure they paid for what they did to Thelma. She did not deserve to die like that.I finally made it into the Crescent Pack after so many wounds. Sage spent so much of her energy ensuring that for every cut she was healing it.It was the only thing for which I was grateful. When the explosives went off, I thought it was the rogues, but it was our people. What the fuck was Xavier thinking using explosives> Didn’t he get the instructions? No explosives? Quiet and swift. That is the fuck order I gave.I saw Xavier and the Member of Blackfang advancing. ‘What the fuck?’ I asked through the link.Xavier shouted after her, “Bianca! Do not go in there!” I narrowed my eyes, wondering where the fuck Bianca was going. She had instructions to stay at camp, but she was here. Who was defending our equipment and the territory?I want to go after her but then
Xavier’s point of view”Bianca went to the border where Katrina’s squad was and said to the people behind her,“Charge up there! Use the C-4” she ordered after shifting back to her human form.Blackfang’s soldiers pushed away Katrina’s squad members, who were defending the position. “ “Get out of the way! We will go up there!” they said, planting the bombs.“Bianca!” I rushed towards her, but she was not wavering. She was determined to make sure she succeeded. But at what cost?Katrina’s squad members said, “Tell your people to back off! We have strict fucking order, Blackfang! It will mess up our plan!” Theo shouted at Bianca.“Everyone! Keep going! Theo, back off or you will be blown as well” she ordered as Theo scoffed, shaking his head as he stood guard.“I will not let you do this”“Fun then have it your way” Bianca smirked, giving an affirmative nod to the men planting the explosives, and she moved back for a few metres hiding behind the trees. “Bianca stop. This is...” Before I
Xavier’s point of viewCrouching down, I watched as everything unfolded. Katrina had been clear that we should wait for the signal.“What the fuck is happening? We are sitting duck here,” one man murmured behind me and I ignored him.I have been in a war for a long time, and I know better than to disobey an order like the one Katrina gave us.“Our orders are to wait until the signal. We are not to move until the signal,” I barked over my shoulder.And everyone just kept quiet as I waited for the signal, looking at theI lead my men to prepare to attack the border. The Crescent Pack border was very well fortified, with electric wires and a wall fence.Think Xavi. What is the best way to bring it down? I inwardly thought. Explosives? Or maybe go over the wall?No. I shake my head.We would be trapping ourselves.Just like Katrina had predicted, the border was going to be hard. The fight was taken away from here, so we can be able to infiltrate the borders while they fought on the front.
Lucius’s point of viewThat shriek!I could recognise that voice anywhere. What happened to Katrina?‘She is fine’ Zane, my wolf echoes as I try to fight off the wolves who are charging towards me. I cannot keep my emotions in check. Every time I move further away, my mind travels back to Katrina’s screams.Her plan was working, and we were pushing the rogues back, but what worries me is that I cannot see Gamma Suri.What if we were wrong? I throw the body of the rogue on the ground before charging again after the other rogue. ‘We are not. It is exactly as we had predicted. If Gamma Suri was looking for Bianca, then too bad for her’ Zane growled as we went through the rogue pushing further into the crescent pack. We were finally gaining more ground.‘Do you think if The King’s Beta died there’s a chance of us getting Katrina?’ Zane asked as I lunged at the wolf in front of me, ripping out his heart and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain.‘I don’t know. Why do you ask?’ I asked
Katrina’s point of viewOn the day of the war, everyone gathered at the border of the Crescent Pack. My heart pounded as I saw the lights down the hill.‘Ready to have a field day?’ Sage, my wolf asked, sounding a bit too excited considering we were going to war, and we might die in this battle.‘I don’t know. It feels different being back on the front line again after so long’ I say, looking over my shoulder as I check Thelma if she is still holding the line I told her on the upper hill.‘Goddess guide us’ I said a prayer as Sage smiled.‘She will. We should not have to worry about anything. Soon this will be over, and we will be heading back home,’ she reassured me, but I was not sure that we would go back home.“Katrina” Lucius Shouted coming towards me as I snapped my head towards him.“Are your men in position?” he asks me and I nod my head, my heart racing as I look at him. He seems so calm about what is waiting for us miles.“Joshua and his men are in position. Theo as well
Xavier’s point of viewBianca.I froze, looking at her as I let go of Katrina, who glanced at me“Katrina Snow, what are you doing with my husband?” She fumed as Katrina moved past her, But Bianca blocked her way again. “What the hell is going on?” She asked, “I knew it! I knew that eventually, I would find this” Katrina rolled her eyes at me and said, “Your wife, you explain it yourself.” And turned her head and left.Bianca tried to catch up with her, “Katrina, how dare you try to seduce my husband — “Coming out of the tent everyone turned to look at us.“Katrina! I am fucking talking to you!” Bianca growled, trying to go after Katrina, but I grabbed her hand, dragging her back to me.“What’s wrong with you? We’re attacking the border tomorrow, and I was discussing strategy with her!” I snapped.“I am fucking tired of this shit!” I fumed.“Really? I find you holding her and you tell me you are tired? What the fuck, Xavier?”“I was fucking discussing strategy with her. Nothing fucki
Katrina’s point of view“So, what does everyone think?” I ask, my hand in my pocket, as I look at the more than fifty men in the command centre getting instructions about the attack.We are finally going to war. I am nervous. I have always done this with Dad, but this was different. I was leading these men, and their lives were my responsibility.Joshua gives me an affirmative nod. When he came back two days ago, he told me about How Bianca wasn’t willing to let the Civilians go despite some of them being slaves.I catch Xavier walking into the room, and I do a once-over before shifting my attention back to the leaders.“Five hundred white-coat soldiers. Half of them will attack and half will defend. Gerald, you and your men will be stationed here. You will only attack once Josh gives the signal.” I said to Gerald, who nodded his he.Xavier just stared at me, as if he was getting to know me all over again. His gaze piercing as I walk around, pointing to the map behind me.“Alpha Xavie
Xavier’s point of view“Hey baby,” I said to Bianca who was busy getting ready. She sighs, grabbing her bag and things about to turn away.“Baby please” I plead with her, trying to stop her before she walks away. She is still furious about the fact that Katrina is the Deputy commander.“What do you want, Xavier? You got what you wanted, didn’t you?” She snapped as I swallowed hard. How could she think that I wanted her to lose to Katrina?“You think I don’t see how you look at her? Or how you looked at her during my challenge? I am not fucking blind, Xavi,” she said to me, grabbing her coat as I stand in front of her.“You know that’s not true. I chose you and will always choose you over her,” I tried to convince her, but I was just trying to convince myself.If only I had waited longer. Katrina would have shown her true self to me. And I would have been with her.“Really? Then why did you get upset last night when she was with Lucius?” She asks me.I freeze. I don’t know why I got fu
