Katrina’s Point of ViewI stood by, watching him as everyone gave their briefings about the last three days, but there was no mention of the attack last night on me.It was like everything was moving so fast. From the attacks in Silver Ridge to the one Bianca is about to lead.“Deputy Commander? How many men can you spare?” Lucius suddenly asked me, bringing me back from my train of thought. “Well, we can give her fifty men. Considering we are also dealing with evacuating Civilians” I say to him as he pauses, bringing his hand to his jaw, gently stroking it.“Evacuating? I thought that it was ensuring their safety. Where will we take over five hundred civilians?” Bianca asked, “And what makes you think they will not turn on us once we attack their pack?” “Because they are hostages.” I retorted, and she chuckled dryly, shaking her head.“People form bonds. Do you think they will just stand and watch you kill the people who have been their families?”“What would you rather do, Captain?
Katrina’s Point of ViewRogue King sent his strongest subordinate, Gamma Suri, to the Crescent Pack to fight us. “Rumour has it that Gamma Suri is said to be the future mate of Alpha King’s son and that she wants to avenge her fiancé.”‘So, we don’t know if she is his daughter-in-law?” I asked him to wonder if this was all about revenge for her or the fact that she is one of the strongest women out there who is just bloodthirsty.“Can’t tell. But the Rogue King trusts her even to let her lead his armies” He explains to me as I pursed my lips nodding my head. If it’s revenge, she seeks then surely, she will stop at nothing.My father fought her father, and I have seen her fight before. This was not looking good for us. We were screwed.“If really Alpha Bruno is dead, then...” I paused, looking into his eyes, as he stepped back, putting his hands in his pockets. “This forces the Alpha King to send reinforcements. In this case, Bianca and Xavier, who have just been rewarded, will become
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
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 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 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
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
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’ 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
