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 viewThe wolves fought in the night, and we won again.It had been a long night, but we finally could come out victoriousOne warrior asked me in awe, “Kat, how many wolves did you get?”I said, “Too many to count.” Trying to stretch my arms, my shoulder was aching from that awkward fall I made on it earlier.“Ninety-eight.’ Sage added.“Keeping count now?’ I asked her, trying to catch my breath.“Well, you need a hundred one of these days.’ She added.One of them handed me a bottle of water, and the other young men made some noise. Handing each other some notes.I’m sure it was a bet they had made about my response, which was always my answer after a long night. I looked at the young boy in front of me, who had just come of age, and took it. I open it, gulping down everything in one go.I concealed my identity and joined the squad I’m in now. To them, I’m no longer Luna or Katrina, just Kat.It wasn’t easy at first trying to take orders from someone, but I’m slow
Cassian’s point of viewRyan, my Beta, said excitedly, “Kat is truly the daughter of Alpha Snow! Katrina even burned the supplies of the Crescent Pack with a small team!”I finally smiled as I read the report sent to me by Lucius. A smile tugs on my lips just thinking of what she has managed to do in the little time she has been there.I was furious when I found out a few days ago that she had slipped past the security that Ryan had sent over. Makes me wonder how she could slip past them.“Have Lucius informed her? From now on, she is an official warrior in the army, a first-class captain. Once she helps Lucius banish the Crescent Pack from the south, she will be promoted to full Pack warrior.” I instructed Ryan,I remember that she was always different from the girls I met. From Jamie’s personality, he was calm and careful in everything he did. Ever caused any problems for anyone but Katrina? She has always been trouble.I remember the first time I saw her. I had visited Jamie for t
Lucius’s point of viewThe past few weeks have been surprisingly different from everything that has been happening. Katrina has proven to be more useful than I expected, but I still don’t trust her motives for coming here.“I’m thinking we send over someone to just check the situation on the south,” Noah, my second, suggested, pointing at the map.We were in the pack camp, discussing the strategic plan for the next week. “Perhaps if we sent our scouts to first access. With a day’s ride they might get there and back” Katrina suggested, clearly calculating.She shouldn’t be here. She should be far away from this just like how her mother wanted, but she was here leading a team.“I can’t believe we still haven’t claimed her as ours’ my wolf hissed, making me roll my eyes.“Zane, I have made it clear. Her mother said no.’“Fuck that. She won’t stop us’ He retorted, a smirk on his face.“No! We respect her wishes. And don’t try to fucking claim her without my consent,’ I added.The past few
Katrina’s point of view “Oh no, it’s Xavier! We have to hide!’ My wolf sage was the first to pick up the scent. My heart pounds hard as I try to find a way out of here.There’s only one exit out of here.“We shouldn’t be hiding from them. They wronged us’ Sage insists, but without thinking twice, I spot the guys in the corner.I quickly hid, and even though Lucius looked at me several times, I had no intention of coming out. Lucius glances at me, his eyes narrowing, but I don’t care. I will have to explain to him later about this.He would throw a fit, but I’m fine with it. At least I don’t have to deal with Xavier.He eyes me with a raised brow but does my best to avoid making eye contact with him. He will use this against me. No doubt.For now, I was going to avoid any confrontations with him and Bianca. Lucius gestures for me with his head to join him, but I decided against it.“Can I kill them?’ Sage asked me, her voice calm, but I know she is furious.“Not now Sage, We need to
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
Katrina’s point of viewThe few days that follow are just meetings and briefings. We try to create time for dates, but it seems like when I am free, Lucius has to work, and vice versa.Some nights I spent at his house, and he would find me in bed when he came back from work.Like today. I am getting ready for a ball that they have organized at the Grimmwolf house, which Lucius invited me to and wants me to meet his cousin and mother officially, so I am a bit of a nervous wreck.Even the time I met Xavier’s Mother I wasn’t like this, but I am meeting Lucius’s mother, who is also a princess.I want everything to be perfect.Once I am down, putting on my stilettoes. I stand up, checking myself in the mirror. I have settled for a sleeveless dark green ankle-length dress with a halter neckline.Once I am done, grab my silver clutch and make my way out of the bedroom. Everyone else is ready but I go to Bray, “Let me see that” I say, handing him my purse before fixing his tie while Joshua f
Katrina’s point of viewThe hour goes by in a blur, and during breakfast, Cassian doesn’t talk to me, and I am grateful for it because I don’t think I want to talk to him.Lucius doesn’t join us for breakfast, and I don’t know what to say to him when I see him. I feel butterflies in my stomach, and I can’t help but smile as I make my way to the drawing room.We should be discussing going back home now. When I walk in, I find Lucius leaning on the table while he is discussing something with Noah, Martin Blackfang, Adrian, and Billy.He lifts his gaze and tilts his head. ‘I didn’t find you in bed.’ He speaks through our link.‘Had to play Hostess.’ I force a smile as I join in on the discussions. ‘Would have been nice to wake up with you in my arms’My cheeks flush as Noah looks at me, then Lucius. His lips turn up in a smile as he leans on the table.“We shield him like that. All cars are to maintain the same speed,” Noah suggests. I don’t contribute, but just listen to their discuss
Katrina’s Point of ViewThe following day, when I woke up, I couldn’t help but smile at myself. My entire body feels sore. Between my legs, I feel tender, but it’s okay. I can’t help but smile at myself.His hand is draped around my body.I feel safe and there’s warmth in my heart as I turn around to face him.I take my time, admiring how beautiful Lucius looks while he is sleeping.Yes. He is a beautiful man. A very beautiful one at that.Watching the way his chest goes up and down. I bring my hand to his face, removing the hair from his face.I want to take everything in. I don’t know when I will see him like this again, so I want to savor this moment while I am at it. My fingers linger on his thick eyebrows and then, without touching him, move down his eyes, then his straight nose, then his plump lips, which look so inviting. I just want to kiss him all the time.A knock comes on the door, startling me as I pull away from Lucius.He is still sleeping, which is something for the fir
Katrina’s point of view“This is the part where you kiss me,” I muttered, my hand on his chest. I could feel the way his heart was racing under my palm.He smiles, then cups my face as he crushes his lips against me, my hands threaded through his hair, pulling on the strands gently.He lets out a low growl, his hands finding their way to my ass as he pressed me against him. He swiftly lifted me as I wrapped my legs around his waist.My skin heated when his hands went under my shirt, electricity surging through my veins as he deepened the kiss, my tongue roaming in his mouth.He let out a growl as I pressed into him, my core getting wetter and wetter. Our tongues lingered in each other’s mouths. Unlike the times I kissed him, this was different. I didn’t want to hold back. It was untamed and desperate. I wanted him—needed him.I wanted everything from him. His hand, his kisses, his touch, and his cock. In. Me.His hand went into my leggings, cupping my pussy as I deepened our kiss, his
