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
Bianca’s point of view“What? They were talking about Katrina? When was this bitch deployed here? Is this why we were not hearing from her, or what Xavier was trying to be sweet with me?Because he couldn’t be with her? I clenched my jaw as she walked up to me.She walked up in front, from wherever she was standing.“Alpha Xavier, Luna Bianca, we’ve finally met your reinforcements. Good for you!” The woman who came up to me was Katrina Snow, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.A fucking smile on her face.My blood boiled just seeing her face. She had her hair falling freely, dressed in leather pants and leather boots with a crop top.She looked great. Why was she here?So, what they just complimented is Katrina, and they thought Xavier’s Luna was still here, not me?!Everyone paused and no one spoke.She crossed her arms, raising her brows. I stared her down, seeing her she had toned up her body.“Yes. The alpha king thought it was wise to send us as reinforcements considering what we
Katrina’s point of view“You’re the ones who traded war merits for the Luna Duet, leaving me no choice but only accept the rejection to make your happy lovebirds whole.” I sneered, clenching tight to my fist.Sage was ready to go all crazy, and I was trying to hold her back. Lucius stared me down, but I would deal with my lies later, not nowIt’s been a while, Bianca is still so good at reversing right and wrong.But she forgot. This isn’t Blackwood, and I won’t allow myself to get into that kind of situation again!“Luna duet?” Joshua asked, eyes widening.“Go on Bianca. Why don’t you tell everyone here how you wanted Luna duet??” I asked her as she clenched her fists as well, trying to come for me, but Xavier held her back.“I earned it! I had every right to demand it. I was being too kind to you by offering you Luna duet.” She smiled on her face, looking at everyone.“It was a fucking insult, Bianca” I growled, taking a step closer to her, but Lucius quickly shifted his body, almo
C26 Katrina’s point of view “What do you mean everyone in the Snow Pack is dead?” Joshua asked in disbelief, looking like he was going to rush up and rip Bianca’s throat out in the next second. “Your family is dead?’ Captain Theo also asked me, tears filling my eyes. A lump formed in my throat and all I could do was just nod my head. “Katrina, why did you come here? Do you want your father’s old friend to stand up for you?” Xavier asked me coldly, pulling Bianca behind him as she smirked. Was this the man who I married and left everything for? Lucius walked over to me and asked me with concern, “What happened?” His eyes roamed all over my face, his hand on my shoulder. I stifle a sob as I look at Xavier, the words about how he never loved me still linger on my mind. I can’t believe this is the man I had risked everything for. “Katrina!” Lucius shakes my shoulder I could only hold back my tears. “It was my fault” I started lowering my head as Lucius furrowed his eyebrows. “Wh
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
