Katrina's Point of View‘Kat, why didn’t you tell us about such an important matter?’ one of the captains said sadly. I remember that he used to come to visit my father a lot.I lower my head in shame, stroking my hands together. It felt so awkward in here after that incident with Xavier and Bianca.I don’t know if they really left or are just hanging outside the tent to cool down a bit, but I would honestly prefer it if they left.“How did you carry on all by yourself?” Joshua asked me as I smiled softly, looking at them.It has been had the past few years, but I don’t need anyone’s pity.“After your father and brother died in battle, even your mother and everyone in Snow were gone. How were you going to rebuild a Pack all by yourself?” Theo asked, concern in his voice as he walked towards me.I held back my tears and lowered my head. If my family were still alive, who would dare treat me like this? I would rather never grow up and just be the Kat in my family’s eyes.“And what the f
Katrina’s point of view“How dare he! Blackwood is so hypocritical, bullying you like this and putting you through so much misery!’‘ After hearing the whole story, Lucius angrily crushed the glass in his hand.I raised a brow looking at him, clenching tight to the glass in his hand.“Not the kind of reaction we expected, right?” Sage was just as shocked as I was, her amber orbs, widened as I lowered my head.“How could he even stand there acting like you are the one who betrayed him?” He was fuming. I have seen Lucius furious, but this was new to me.I didn’t know how to react to this. “That’s new, really”“It wasn’t that traumatic after all” I sheepishly smiled, wiping the tears from the slits of my eyes and looking at him as he got up from the chair, pacing about in the roomI had thought that the scars I would carry with me for the rest of my life would never heal. After I revealed what had happened, I felt a lot better.“Maybe it’s because we only did it because of duty,” Sage sug
Xavier’s Point of View“How dare he? How dare he throw us out because of her?” Bianca was fuming when we left the tents. I sighed heavily.I was getting exhausted by her constant complaints. And now she dared to question Lucius?“We came to help. Why would you try to go against Alpha Lucius’s command?” I asked her as we walked out of the command tent.“We are the ones who brought the White-Coat Warriors here! Why should Katrina be in charge?” She snapped, pacing around, but I just stared at her.This was a losing battle she was getting into. Alpha Lucius isn’t someone who takes kindly to insubordination. He loathes people who don’t take well to command.“Alpha Lucius is biased!” accused.“Watch your mouth, Bibi. Most men here would fall on a sword for that man.” I sneered through gritted teeth as I went closer to her and she looked at me like I was crazy.“I’m sure you must be happy to see her again, right? I’m sure that’s why you decided to plead so you could be with her”“Not this a
Katrina’s point of viewI walked out of Lucius tented and all I could hear were moans. Everyone turned to look at me as I clenched my hand tight, thinking of what Bianca and Xavier were doing.The days I spent back at Blackwood before I left, I heard this.“Fuck... Couldn’t they wait for a few minutes or try to fucking put the shield up?” Theo muttered as he came to stand next to me.“Or I could fucking put them in their place,” Joshua suggested coming to stand on my other side, folding his arms.I shook my head before making my way out of camp, trying to find myself something to do. I wasn’t going to stand here and listen to them moaning.‘Shame. He rejected her and he comes to fuck his mate in the face’ Murmurs filled behind me as I tried to find myself in the sparring grounds.‘Maybe she wasn’t that good in bed’ some man said. Judging from the accent, he had to be from Black Fang.‘Rumour has it. She is like an old lady. Her waist doesn’t move for shit,’ one of them laughed.‘I hea
Lucius’ point of view I walked with her through the forest while she kept her eyes out. My eyes took time to take in her beautiful face. She was beautiful. My eyes trailed down to her throat as she looked up at the trees. Then, narrowing her eyes, the way she bit her lips made my heart flutter. ‘Dumbass.’ Zane echoed, but I decided to listen to him ‘Her mother is dead. We might as well as just claim her already’ he added, but I know better than listen to Zane. ‘No. I will not jeopardise everything she is working for just because we are greedy, and you just want to claim her. Forget it,’ I retorted. “What are you thinking?” I asked, walking towards her as she took out her spear. “It’s too quiet” she whispered to me as I furrowed my eyebrows. She was right. There was no sign of birds. “So?’ I asked her as she looked at me before holding her neck. “Either a boar or we might be in trouble” “Good guess,” I said to her, walking past her as I sniffled the air. She was right, it w
Xavier’s point of view“This is suicide” Bianca complained as we headed back to our tent. It was almost dinnertime and from what I heard, we all must line up for food regardless of rank.“You are the one who wanted to stay and prove yourself to him.” I retorted, trying to find something can change into.“I know. But I can hundred per cent assure you that Bitch Katrina had something to do with this. It’s just can’t be coincidental.” She complained.I almost want to roll my eyes. I’m getting tired of how everything is always someone’s fault. I grab a towel and some things to use for my shower.“Where are you going?” she asks me, raising a brow.I pause in my steps, turning to face her. “I need to freshen up. Want to join me?”“No. I need to find out why his sending me on this fucking suicide mission. He plans on getting me killed,”
Bianca’s point of view“So, what do you think?” I asked my right-hand man, Dave.He checks over his shoulder before responding. “Some men don’t trust her and some think she is just an entitled brat who wants to enjoy her father’s glory,” He explained to me as I nodded my head. This was good.It was good for me.“Do you think that might work in our favour?” I asked him, as he nodded his head.“I don’t doubt that not even for a minute. Some of them are willing to stand for you. But we need to act fast,” he said to me as I nodded my head/“And Lucius? Can we—”“Apart from his alleged affair with her? The man is clean.”“He can’t be clean. Everyone has a secret to keep. We just must look even harder,” I said to him, pursing my lips together, thinking of what to do next.“We could try to look into his past relationships but his so secretive,” he said to me as I bit my lower lip.“That’s fine. We can deal with that later. For now, I need to find out what I can trust and who is against her.
Katrina’s point of view Weeks later “Gerald!” I shouted, running after the man I had appointed to oversee the white-coat warriors. “Yes?” he responded with a bit of arrogance, but I pursed my lips, shaking my head. “I didn’t get the report from last night. I’m heading into the command centre, and I have no idea how many casualties we have.” I asked him as he inhaled sharply before staring me down. “I told you I would get them to you. You don’t have to ask me every ten minutes,” he snapped, raising his eyebrows as I looked around to see if he was really speaking to me. “I’m not asking you every ten minutes, I just…” I paused, seeing him the way he was looking at me with an attitude. “I was clear as soon as we were back. I needed everyone accounted for. Can you do that now?” I asked him as he looked around. “Maybe if you had time to check on your men, you would know that these minor victories are costing us and would probably know how many casualties we have,” he growled as I ra
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
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
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
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 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
