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“So how was the dinner last night?” Bray Asks me the next day as I make myself a protein shake after coming back from my run.“Great. One of those nights you just wish you had stayed in,” I say, grabbing our bottles.When I got back into the dining room. I found Lucius had already left the dinner because he had something important to deal with.After dinner, Cassian made sure Ryan dropped me off at the house and I have not heard from Lucius since last night.Was I disappointed? Maybe.‘Of course you are. You guys had a moment, and he just dumps you there. I cannot believe him’ Sage remarks. I can imagine her folding her arms over her chest and I cannot help but smile.Such a drama queen.‘I am not a drama queen!’ She retorts when my phone chimes. I hurriedly rushed to check who was texting me, but it seemed like Cassian was checking on me.“How are you feeling now?” I typed the message, but paused. It does not sound appropriate to text an alpha king like this.
Katrina’s point of view“I didn’t know you smoked” I say walking past him without responding to his offer.I need to get away from him, but my body craves for him. I want to feel him close to me.“Once in a while” He replies, handing it to me.“No, thank you. Not killing myself when I am so young” I force a smile, and he chuckles, shaking his head.“We are wolves. It would take more than this to kill us” he says in that arrogant voice that I have found myself lately wanting to hear more of.“Tell that to the wolves who died because they didn’t stop smoking” I retort and without thinking twice he throws the cigarette to the ground and smashes it.“Come with me,” he says as I swallow hard. I am exhausted and do not think I have the energy to go anywhere.‘Please’ he links to me as I purse my lips together. I want to say no to him but the desperation in his eyes.I cannot bring myself to say no.I nod.It took him over an hour to get to where he was taking me. Once we get there, he gets
Katrina’s point of view“Hold tight baby” He growls as I try to pull his hair.“Hands on the table” he orders, not asking. Put my hands on the table, leaning back on the table and he grabs me by the thigh, pushing himself deep in me, stretching me inch by in.I throw my head back, closing my eyes as I close my eyes.“Look at me.”I swallow hard. I don’t think I can take it. “Now Kat!” he orders.I am out of breath, but I slowly open my eyes as he thrusts deep into me, his gaze locked with mine.“Don’t you close those eyes? I want you to watch as I make you mine,” He orders in a throaty growl.“Am I clear?” he asks.“Yes.” I pant and he pushes himself deep into me. I bit my lower lips so tight I could taste blood in my mouth. His cock is doing something to my stomach.“Oh!” I moan and he smiles, thrusting deeper into me as grunts and moans fill the room.He grabs a dagger from the table, and he cuts off my thong, from the left, then the right, as he thrusts into me.“I don’t like shar
Katrina’s point of viewThe next morning, I had my morning run, and once I was back. I had my shower and got into my jeans and sneakers with an oversized T-shirt.“Hey, Becky?” I shouted after coming out of the bedroom, braiding my hair into a single braid.“Good morning” she beamed with a smile as I shook my head. Getting closer to her.“you said something about a snow not marrying into royalty. What was that about?” I asked her and she glanced at Joshua, who was sitting by the countertop.“Didn’t you learn this during your high school days?” She asked me, as I faked a smile.“No. I skipped high school,” I lied.“Really? I thought you used to go to that boarding school in Silver Fox,” Joshua says as I force a smile.“Don’t believe everything you hear, Joshua.” I say when my phone chimes. My alarm reminds me that I am late for my meeting.“Let’s chat later, okay?” I wave at her before running out of the house. I need to go to the Alpha King’s library and check for myself.Once I get t
Lucius’s point of view“What did he want?” I ask Katrina as soon as she gets in the car. She looks out the window and then shakes her head.“Kat. You are many things but a good liar? Don’t think so” I turn to her, and she sighs heavily, turning to look at me.“Did you know?”I furrow my eyebrows, wondering what she is talking about. “Know what?”“What’s this Lucius? Your way of having fun? Does it make you powerful knowing that among the three it’s you I... I...” she stutters.“The three? I thought it was only me and the king” I smile, and she just stares at me, about to get out of the car, and I grab her hand pulling her back into the car.“I didn’t know I was in a competition” I state, and she just stares at me.“And I didn’t know I was in a fucking game. Can we just go? I have to check on Bray today” she growls looking out the window. I start the car driving away without saying anything.When we get to the borderlands. I pull over and get out. Noah and other people have already arr
Lucius’ Point of View“You wanted to see me?” I asked Cassian immediately when I entered his office, not even checking if he was alone.“You took Beta Aidan to the barracks?” he asked, arranging the books on his shelves.“Yes. He arrived here without an invitation. It’s only right—”Before I could finish my sentence, he chimed in. “He is about to marry Kaelin in a few days. Don’t you think we should treat him like a guest he is?” He raises a brow, studying me like he is looking for answers other than what I am giving him.“Did Kaelin agree to this marriage?”“Yes. She was more than happy,” he replies with a smile on his face.“You didn’t tell her, did you?”“I told her I found a man to marry her. I don’t think—”“You should have told her.”“Aidan is a good man. At least from what I remember,” he explains as I narrow my eyebrows. Since when was he ever in touch with Aidan?“From what you remember? What’s that supposed to mean?” I ask him and he opens a book reading from it before putti
Katrina’s point of view‘I love you too’ I say the words inwardly and I hear Sage yelp in excitement dancing in my head.Once Lucius finished helping me bathe. He led me to the bedroom, helping me change into something, and once we were done. He went to clean the place where we had sex, then came back to the bedroom.“Your omegas are here.”“Oh. They need to do something for me” I say getting up from the bed. I have now settled into leggings and an oversized sweater with a crop top inside.I need to get them off my back. I can’t constantly have two people following me around.“Shannon?” I shouted, making my way to the kitchen. “Yes, Luna?”“Um… Have you guys ever gone through training??” I ask and she narrows her brows slightly then quickly puts a smile on her face.“I mean combat”“Not really. We were—”“Good. Becky and the rest are at the barracks. I need you to go there starting tomorrow,” I say, then turn to Willow. “You as well.”“Yes, Luna.”“Also, we need to find Marilynn. From
Lucius’ point of view“Yours," she murmurs, and that sends me over the edge, but I want her to come first. I thrust into her as if my life depended on it.“Oh… Fuck Lucius!” She growls and with a loud moan, she comes, melting in my arms, but I want to fill her with my seed.“Oh yes! Fuck Kat. You taste so fucking perfect!”A grunt leaves my lips, and I follow, coming inside her. Her body trembles, but I hold her tight to me. As she buries her head in my chest.“I hate you,” she whispers, almost out of breath, and I chuckle“I know,” I whisper, holding her as if I let her go. She might run away from me.‘Put me down,” She tries to get out of my arms, but I hold tight. ‘Let me take care of you”“No. Not today,” she tries to push away, but I start heading for her room. I lied to her.Hurt her by not telling her the truth.“Lucius, please.” She whispers, but I place her on the bed. My hard member brushed against her stomach. I still want more of her, but I don’t think she wants me anywhe
Katrina’s point of view“What the fuck are you doing, Katrina?”“Nothing. I just—”“It’s not what you think.” I try to touch him, but he steps back from me. I narrow my brows, wondering why he won’t let me touch him.“Here. Noah is by that corner over there in my car. We need to fucking talk.” he hands me my jacket and shoes before walking away.I swallow hard.Looking at the road ahead of me, people glance at me, but I just lower my head before making my way towards the car. Once I am in the back seat, I take off my wig.“Wow. Kat, this style suits you” he exclaims, a smile on his face when he looks at me and I chuckle, shaking my head.“Hey, Noah. How did you guys find the loft?” I asked him, sitting back in my chair, and he shrugged.“The rogue beta was outside Kaelin’s apartment. She reported it, and we trailed him here. What were you doing here?” he asked, turning to look at me.“Looking for answers,” I say, and he raises his brows“Answers? Kat—”The door opens, and Lucius gets
Katrina’s point of view“You need to leave,” he says to me, and I shake my head, going to him. “I will stay and reason with them.”“Cute Kit Kat. But no.”“Please. I am a deputy commander. I can reason with them and explain why you came to me,” I say to him, placing a hand on his chest. His heart is pounding so hard against his chest.“No. You will not. If they found you here, the only thing they would conclude is that you are conspiring with us. Why do you think history labels your pack as power-hungry?” he asks me as I stare at him. His men are mobilizing themselves, ready for a fight.“Don’t fight. Let them take you. You will not lose any lives,” I say to him, and he shakes his head.“I am not going down without a fight. We came in without an official invitation. Do you know what that means?” he asks me as I inhale sharply.“I know what it fucking means, Aidan. Fight and you lose some of your men. Just Surrender. Lucius is not the kind of person to attack without reason,” I try to
Katrina’s Point of View“Water? Whiskey?” Aidan offered as we walked into the Loft. His men eye me like some predators, ready to pounce.I smile weakly because most of them don’t stand a chance, especially with Sage fuming the way she is right now.“Water.”He goes to the fridge, taking out a bottle of water before coming back with it, and he grabs a bottle of whiskey.“You look different” he starts, settling down in front of me and I take the seat just opposite him.“Trying to fit in. I don’t think a uniformed woman should be coming into this building,” I reply, and he nods.“It suits you. You should dress like this more often” he leans back, a smug on his face but thankfully his eyes are not roaming in places they should not but my face.“I prefer the uniform.”“Bullshit. That fucking looks hideous on you. This is more your style. Badass Luna who doesn’t give a shit about rules,” he laughs, and I roll my eyes.‘You knew my brother”“Yes. But Kit-Kat—”“Katrina.” I correct him. It’s
Katrina’s point of view“Fuck! Fuck!” I growled, kicking the tires of the car that Willow hired for me to use while she organized the purchase of a new one.‘Deep breaths, Kat. Deep breaths’ Sage encouraged, but I couldn’t do it. It was suddenly getting hard to breathe.Lucius has been lying to me. Xavier divorced me. My brother was lying to his family. My father might also be part of the reason there’s a war.Why do all the men in my life do this? I blink back my tears, leaning against the car.‘It’s not your fault,’ Sage echoes.‘Are you sure? I feel like the one writing my life hates me,’ I retort, blinking back the tears threatening to fall.My brother’s betrayal hits like a knife in my chest. How could he do this to me? What was he hoping to achieve?“For someone who is a leader. Crying there doesn’t seem like a superb feat,” Martin’s voice comes behind me as I close my eyes.‘I don’t have time for you, Martin,” I say, turning around to open the door, but he hands me a handkerchi
Katrina’s point of view“Katrina!” I heard Ryan’s voice behind me just as I stepped out of the meeting room. I scoffed, stopping in my tracks.“You look…Umm…”“Formal?” I finish his sentence, and he nods, his lips turning up in a smile. “And you have been missing,” I say monotone before turning around and starting to walk towards the exit. He falls in step with me as we make our way through the hallway.“Well, had things to deal with. How have you been? You look—” he pauses, waiting for the alpha who was passing to go before coming closer.“Tired?”“Glowing. I see you and the Alpha Prince have decided to make it work,” He whispers, his smile reaching his eyes.My heart sinksHow can I tell him that Lucius and I are done? And never going to make it work?“Not really.” I lower my gaze, putting my hands in the pockets of my trousers.“What happened? Don’t tell me Cassian had something to do with this?” He says through gritted teeth, and I laugh, shaking my head.“You should be on his sid
Lucius’s point of view“You are late. Should we—” Alpha Dante is the one wanting to scold me, and I scoff, plopping down in my chair.“Save your energy. I had important things to do in the east wing. Not that I should explain myself to you,” I growl, and Cassian watches me.‘How is she?’ he links to me, his voice sounding tired.‘Well, not the best. You should go to see her sometimes.’ I say to him, and he doesn’t reply instead his gaze goes to Katrina.‘She misses you’‘She is a lost cause,’ He deadpans. I know he doesn’t believe that because he would have given up on her.‘What she did was wrong. You should forgive her for—’‘No. She left me when I needed her. I am never visiting her,’ he says, and with that, he cuts me off.Sometimes I forget that Nana is the reason Cassian doesn’t smile anymore, or why he is as cold and arrogant as he is.“Now that we are here. I received word this morning. The wedding has been pushed up. Our enemies are growing stronger every day, so the rogue ki
