I could not stop crying, even when it seemed like a long time after the boys had left. The more I tried to stop, the more tears fell. I could not understand what was happening to me, the boys had tried to trick me into believing they had regretted how they treated me, but they had only come under the pretense of Aaron claiming to be my mate. And what was making me more emotional was the fact that my heart skipped at the thought that Aaron was my mate. I had for a minute period felt my heart jived in joy, even though I could not understand why it would do that. It was not as though he liked me, not in any way. If he liked me, he would not have done what he did. He would not let me go through so much.Baron who did not even know me was the unexpected savior. The one who had taken it upon himself to save me from these mean people who wanted nothing more than to eat me alive. “You will be fine Katherina, you know you have to stop crying at a point.” Baron spoke after being quiet for a w
“You keep kidding yourself, Baron.” I hit his arm playfully. He was still in my room, keeping me company and making sure I was not crying again. “I’m hungry. You?” He asked, trying to stifle a yawn.“I’m not hungry.” How could I think of food when I was going through so much? My appetite in that moment was non-existent, food was the least of my problems.“You should be hungry.” He eyed me.“But I’m not.” I insisted.“I’m not going to take your word for it.” He got out of the bed and went out of the room. I was left in my thoughts. Hm. What next for me now? The Alpha now knew and I wondered what he was going to do about it.He might have even told my mom about it. My worries increased, what if he was angry? The initiation ceremony had almost brought my mother’s wolf out of her, but mine had only tried to find a way out to no avail. I just felt like no matter how hard I tried, I always ended up causing problems for my mother. I had this feeling in my guts that the Alpha would surely ca
“You also can not deny how confident I am.” He added, still on about his Moon Goddess given endowments which were true but I would rather have my tongue pulled out of my mouth than let him know. Baron was the typical arrogant guy you could not help but still admire, not just because he was good-looking and had a charming, bad boy smile. But for the single fact that he was loyal to the end.Standing up for me when he did not even know me, defending me against bullies and even calling his brothers out on how unfair they treated me. I felt safe with him, maybe I should show him the message. I sighed, maybe I should not. That might be a bad idea. I should probably find out who this person was, do what they asked me to do. Maybe Alpha David was not aware of my wolflessness, hence the reason this person was threatening me with it. And though mom knew, Alpha David would take it out on mom. I did not want mom to go through what she went through when she was pregnant with me, and even as I g
Katelyn“So our beloved Katherina does not have a wolf, huh?” I could not believe it. She was the first wolf-less girl I’d ever encountered.And Aaron was choosing her over me, that brat. That stupid, weak ugly thing that had no right to stand with me. She was trying to compete with me. To fight over Aaron with me. All these years, I’d known Aaron and I had taken great risks for him that he did not even know about. Those were my little secrets. And he would never know. I was proving to him and myself that I could be a Luna. A Luna could be everything she wanted to be. After the Alpha, was the Luna. Aaron was my childhood friend, while his brothers had never really liked me, Aaron had stood by me and that had made me like him. Baron was the worst, he hated me so much then. I used to wish he would like me but no more, I no longer cared if he liked me or not. Moreover, he was out of the picture. Though I wondered why he would return after these years in self exile. I had no issues when
My eyes widened in shock, but I could not push him away. The door opened, and my mom walked in. “Oh Mother of the Moon! I’m sorry guys.” She hastened out of the room, I heard her slippers making slapping sounds, as they echoed down the hallway in retreat.Baron raised in head and looked at the door. “See, you scared stepmom out of your room.”Feeling quite disoriented and my cheeks staining scarlet red at what had just happened, I could only stare in mild horror. Baron had kissed me and my mom had seen it, seen us. She had seen us locking lips, and was probably on her way to telling David. If the other boys knew, it was going to be more messy than it had ever been. I thought of Aaron and my conscience slapped at me. But why? I frowned immediately. Why was my conscience slapping at me? Aaron had not been there for me. He believed I was a criminal and defended Katelyn when Baron asked her to apologize for calling me a thief. “Will you eat your food now? Or do I have to feed you more ki
“Are you passing the night here?” I knew how it sounded asking him that question especially when it was the umpteenth time I was asking him that. I felt guilty asking him, it was as though I was chasing him out of my room. But that was not my intention, I wanted to go find out that person who was sending me messages.“Are you chasing me out of your room?” He opened one eye, meeting my gaze.“No, that is not it.” I sighed.“Come let’s sleep. It’s late and you have school tomorrow.” He invited, opening his arm for me to come into his embrace. I sighed, and without any hesitation, went into his embrace. My mind was filled with those texts and the faceless sender. Who was behind those messages? And they had given me a scheduled time, and I did not want to keep them waiting. They might do what they had threatened to do. “Do I have to go to school?” I released another deep, melancholic sigh. “Yes, you have to. No matter what they throw at you Katherina, never let them see how much it aff
Greg? What was he doing here? Fear seizing every part of my being, I managed to turn to make sure I had gotten the right person. Yes, I had. It was Greg. And he was with Bryan, his best friend. What were they doing here? I could only stare in shock.“Missed me?” Greg came forward, he came forward and raised his hand to trail my face, I flinched both in disgust and fear.“W-what a-are…” Fear would not let me complete my statement.“What am I doing here, you mean?”I stood still as I statue, unable to talk coherently. How had they gotten my number? Who told them where I was? Greg got hold of me and a whimper left my lips. Who had brought them here? How had they known where to find me? Greg had tried to molest me when I was still in Moon Rock pack. They were from there, we used to attend the same school until I was stopped. What were they doing here? I could not get past that question. “I’ve missed you, Katherina.”I moved back. “S-stay a-away from me, Greg.” I stuttered, my voice tremb
“What?!” Lucas looked confused immediately and angrily used the empty bucket in his hand to hit Greg on the face. “You better not play stupid games here.” He gritted out in anger.“Who sent you, bastard?!” Zach kicked Bryan this time.“He’s right.” Bryan screamed in pain. “He sent us.” He also pointed at Lucas. I could not help staring at him. Even his brothers turned to him, they wanted answers as did I. Was it truly Lucas? Or was there some sort of misunderstanding going on somewhere? But Greg had no idea where I was. Mom and I had not told anyone we were coming to this pack. No one from Moon Rock knew she was mated to the Alpha of Stone Shadow pack. And if these guys were insisting that Lucas had sent them, then what was the possibility they were lying? “Lucas, what do you have to say?” Baron asked, his unfriendly glare still on his younger brother and the last boy of the house. He still held me so tight.“How can you believe I would send people to come hurt Katherina?” His voic
