Kit’s POV My father’s driver pulled the car to a stop at the gate of Dom’s massive estate, as he says into the intercom, “Luna Katrina is here to see Alpha Domonic.” Immediately there was a buzzing sound, before the large metal gate opened, giving entrance to us. As the car drove up the paved lane to his estate, I stared out the window at absolutely nothing, as my nerves were on edge with the thought of seeing him again. Our last encounter at my father’s estate left me feeling a bit unnerved about coming here tonight, but I knew that I must do this for my father. “We have arrived.” The driver said, as he pulled the car to a stop, putting it in park, before he stepped out of the car and moved towards my door. My palms were sweaty, and my breathing began to become irregular, as I knew there was no turning back at this point. My door opened, and I sat there telling myself that I could do this. All I needed to do was meet wi
Kit’s POV We sat in silence for the first half of dinner, even though I could feel his eyes on me, I remained looking forward, not wanting to make eye contact with him. Just when I thought that we were going to make it through dinner without having confrontation, Dom breaks the silence by asking, “Are you happy?” I froze staring down at my plate, not knowing what to say to him. I wasn’t sad, but it wasn’t the life I had dreamt of having, but that life I had dreamt of was no longer a possibility, and I was going to make the best of what Alpha Jace gracefully offered myself and my son. Placing my silverware down on my plate, I reached for my napkin to wipe the corners of my lips, before I look over at him, and say, “I am very much happy, but I would be happier if you would just restore my family’s name.” “Then consider it done.” Dom says to me, like it is no big deal, and I look at him in disbelief that it was this easy,
Kit’s POV The sound of pounding on my bedroom door, along with my sister yelling, “Katrina, wake up!” awoke me from my sleep. I had been up until the wee hours of the morning, not able to sleep from what happened last night. To say I was an emotional wreck with what had transpired between Dom and I, was an understatement, and I cried my eyes out until I had finally fallen asleep, when the sun had started to rise. There was no doubt in my mind why my sister was already here at the crack of dawn, and I knew that either she wanted to know what had happened last night or tell me that Dom had done something else to get back at me for denying him. Not ready to face my sister and her raff for failing to restore my family’s name and probably making the situation even worse, I pulled my pillow over my head, trying to block out the sound of her yelling through my door. “Katrina Rose Hart, I know you are in there.” She now yells fro
Kit’s POV “No! No! No!” My sister now cried out, as I made my way into my father’s bedroom, pausing at the foot of his bed when my eyes found the reason for her screams and cries. My father looked as if he was now at peace, as his body lay there still, with his eyes closed, telling me that he had passed from our world. Frozen, not able to move, I stood there staring at him, praying that my sister had given him the news of our family’s name being restored before he had passed. My sister’s sobs now filled the room, as Ms. Caroline and a handful of my father’s servants came running into the bedroom, hearing her cries. Ms. Caroline immediately ran to my sister, wrapping her arm around her, trying to comfort her, as it was clear she knew our father was gone too. My father’s servants moved to his bedside as one leaned over him, listening for a heartbeat, but quickly stood back up, shaking his head, letting everyone in the room know that he was
Kit’s POV For the last twenty-four hours, I had distracted myself with everything I could that needed to be done with my father’s funeral and started the process of dealing with my father’s estate. It wasn’t hard to find myself in over my head with everything that now needed to be done, and I was so thankful for the distraction, because it kept my mind away from the dark place it had been heading. But now as I got dressed for my father’s funeral, the emotions were all flooding back to me, and I knew that I couldn’t run from them, but I needed to make it through the day. I couldn’t show any signs of weakness, especially at my father’s funeral in front of the pack members that chose to come to lay my father to rest.Worried filled me that my father’s funeral would be left unseen by so many members of the pack since Dom had ruined my family’s name, and I was sure that the word hadn’t spread that Dom restored it, in such little time. My sister would once ag
Kit’s POV “What is wrong with you?” My sister asked me as I moved inside the viewing area, knowing that it was time for our father’s viewing to start.It was clear that she had pulled herself together, and had reapplied her makeup, because I couldn’t see a single sign telling me that she was a mess not too long ago. Looking at her husband that was now standing off to the side speaking to one of the greeters, I knew without a doubt that he made her pull herself together, to save their own name and face among the pack members when they arrived. It was clear even under Dom’s leadership this pack hadn’t changed, and I couldn’t wait to get the hell out of here, but right now, I had to hold it together and lay my father to rest.“I’m just a little tired.” I said to her, because it wasn’t a lie, but then it wasn’t actually the truth either.After finding out that Dom had paid for our father’s funeral expenses, I began to worry if he would be making an appearance today, which
Kit’s POV Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself, as unwanted emotions began to flood my mind. It was as if seeing the two of them together like this sparked jealousy inside of me, and I knew that it had to be the mate bond causing it. Plus, my wolf had awakened from the sight of them holding hands, and I had to try and keep her at bay, as images of ripping this girl’s arm off came to me for touching our mate, from my wolf. If I ever needed Alpha Jace, it was at this moment, because right now I needed someone standing beside me as my mate to calm me from my evil thoughts. But he was thousands of miles away, and I knew I was on my own. Taking one last breath, I opened my eyes, daring not to look at Dom, as I looked back at Luna Rebeca, and said to her, “Thank you, Luna Rebeca for your condolences. You must forgive me for my delay in me presenting myself to you. My mind has been preoccupied.” “Do no
Dom’s POV Guilt plagued me even more as I saw the way meeting Luna Rebeca affected Kit, and even though she says she wants nothing to do with me, there was no doubt in my mind that was further from the truth, as I felt the spark between us, stronger than ever. I was wrong all those years ago to let her go for the sake of my pack, and not a day has gone by that I haven’t lived with that regret, especially since the Moon Goddess has frowned down on me, leaving me without an heir to the pack.Everything that I had done out of duty, has led me to a depressing life, one filled without love and companionship, but instead filled with regrets and loneliness, living a lie in front of all the pack members. Even though we put on a good show in front of the pack members’ eyes, that is all it is. A façade to make everyone think that all is well with the relationship of their Alpha and Luna, but in these last couple of years there have been rumors of my unfortunate union, and we wer
