KatherineThey said having a partner makes everything beautiful and that marriage was a blessing, but it was not the case with mine.My life only felt more empty and hollow as the days went by, now three years since I got married to Conrad.He never did anything that made me feel like his wife, or showed any care to me. The three years that I had lived with him, the thing that was a constant in my life was sadness. And it only got worse. Bringing my mind back to reality with the burning smell of the curry sauce, I turned the cooker off.Without wasting any more time, I cleaned up the kitchen and served the food on the dinning. My husband Conrad was not back yet, though I wished he could walk right in and join me for dinner. He never did. I picked up my phone and tried calling him to know how soon he would be back. But paused on a second thought. He had told me one time to not call him if there was nothing serious that I wanted to say, which was exactly why I did not go on. Left

KatherineEven as the words left my mouth, I was still not sure that it was the right thing that I was doing. But I wanted to go ahead.Conrad had brought me to my extreme, and getting a divorce suddenly felt like the best thing to do.His face was still pale in shock from what I had said. If he could just tell me that he loved me and wanted to be with me at that very moment, then I was sincerely ready to put away all the hurt and start a new life with him."What did you just say? You want a divorce?" He asked me again, and I nodded in response. With my face stoic.I bet he was wondering what gave me the guts or where exactly I had gathered the nerves from to propose a divorce.The answer wasn't far though. Nina was right.I had been living my life trying to please him and please people regardless of how I was trampled on.But I did not want to anymore."Oh! It's good you want a divorce. I should have done it long ago anyway. Well in that case we should make it official."The last tin

KatherineAs I spoke to Aiden, my father's beta, waiting to hear my father's verdict at the small restaurant downtown which he made us go to, my heart was in my throat.I knew that I had been framed and even though I was yet to find out who was responsible, I knew that it was only a matter of time before the person showed his or her hand and going back to the pack was very dangerous."Your father has said that he would not force you to come back if you are not ready to but the only option he has is for you to become the general manager of the pack business, Imperial group." Aiden said and when he looked at me, I see that there was something that he had not said."I don't have a choice in the matter, do I?" I asked and when he nodded, my entire body froze."What is he going to do if I don't take up this position that he has asked of me."Aiden's face was serious as he looked at me before he answered"He will attack the Shadow pack."Swallowing hard, I nodded, letting him know that I h

KatherineDo you know how it feels to be a spectator in a theatre, watching a movie but having absolutely no control over what is happening? That was exactly what was unfolding in the villa as I turned around from where Clara had fallen to the ground to see Conrad looking at us with wide eyes from where he was standing at the entrance.Like something out of a movie, Conrad rushed towards us, pushing me aside as he helped Clara who was pretending to be really hurt as she wiped tears from her face, to her feet.Touching her cheeks gently, he looked into her eyes with panic and love. Love that was missing anytime he looked at me and from the way he touched her body with familiarity, I had no doubt that they were seeing each other in secret, a truth that made me feel like a knife was being squeezed into my heart."Are you alright? Did she hurt you?" Conrad asked her and when Clara shrugged, still wiping at her eyes, he patted her hair gently and helped her to dust her clothes."I don't kn

Conrad"This will probably be the last time you see me as your wife. The next time we will meet, even though I would rather eat broken glass than see you, it will be as strangers. You don't deserve me. Not your pack. Not your family and certainly not you, most of all. I hope that you find whatever you are looking for." Katherine said, her grey eyes cutting deep into me and for the very first time as she looked at me, I saw hatred. Intense hatred.Not once in three years even after everything I had done to her had her eyes ever looked this cold.But as her eyes looked like swirls of storm and as she turned her back on me, I knew that she would never beg me to love her again. That she was indeed done with the marriage.It stunned me into silence and I did not even realize that I had started moving towards the stairs after her until someone held my hand and when I tried to pull away, Clara sobbed.Angry, I dragged her out of the house towards where my car was as she kept crying."Stop it

KatherineExhausted from the long walk home, I dumped the contents of my bag on the kitchen counter. It had been two days since I left Conrad's house. I had rented a small apartment still in the Shadow pack.While I was still the Luna of Shadow pack, I was exempted from doing things like this, going to the mall, having a job, cooking, cleaning. My roles and duties were quite different but now I had to do everything myself. When I divorced Conrad, I had automatically given up all the perks and privileges of being a Luna.Though the black card, that my father's Beta handed to me made me rich overnight, I wanted to stay on the low for the time being. I had to be responsible for myself and make my own decisions. I was so tired and thirsty that I had to use the last ounce of energy in me to get cold water from the fridge which I hastily gulped down, then fell back on the kitchen stool.The kitchen had already become a mess with the way I dumped what I got from the grocery shop, but I plan

KatherineI stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself hours later. I was staring at a shadow of myself. Eyes red rimmed from crying, mascara stained cheek and that blank stare. They did this to me. Conrad, his mother, Clara and every last one of them, contributed to this. A wave of hate and anger coursed through me at the thought. I embraced it. Anger was good, better than the hurt I had felt.Thinking about Conrad, I sat down heavily on the bed, staring at the wall unseeingly. Why did I not hate him as much as I wanted to? Why was there a part of me that felt sad when the look of pain crossed his face and why did I feel that twinge of happiness when I saw him? My feelings were all messed up. Exhausted physically and emotionally, I stretched on my bed and drifted off to sleep.I woke with a start. It was pitch black outside, morning already. I felt restless . My wolf growled. She definitely needed some fresh air. Putting on my favorite joggers and a pair of sneakers, I grabb

KatherineWaking up in at the mansion, my former home, felt strange at first. I guessed it was because of the sense of ownership I now felt.As the owner of the house now, I stayed in the master bedroom, a place Conrad had occupied alone. The walls were still the same, a combination of blue and white that complimented the drapes. I had instructed the interior designer to make as little changes as possible. The king size bed, dressers and walk in closet were also not replaced.Propping myself up on my elbows, I turned to look at the empty space where Conrad had once occupied. Hoping to get a whiff of his scent, I sniffed the sheets but only got a whiff of the fragrance of fresh laundry.Sighing, I rearranged my robe, then walked over to the patio of the bedroom, slid the glass doors open and stepped out.The weather was bright, the sky a crisp, clear blue. I stared at the vast expanse of land below. The bedroom was in the south wing of the house surrounded by the woods I had enjoyed r

KatherineIt was autumn, my best season of the year. I liked autumn because it signified transitions and new beginnings which was exactly what had happened to me.The mix of warm and cool colors and leaves on trees changing from green to vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange, creating a picturesque landscape was just beautiful. These leaves eventually fall to the ground, creating a crisp, rustling sound as they brush against one another in the wind.The cool autumn air often accompanied by strong and gusty winds blows the leaves around. The air was always full of the smell of burning wood, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice emanating from households as families light up fires and bake delicious treats to warm up.It was all perfect as was my life now.I was sitted on the couch in my sitting room taking in the contents of the news that I could understand while reflecting on my life."Ricardo."I caught a glimpse of the name on the television screen and my mind wandered to all that happen

Conrad'"Keep them both detained," I barked at one of the warriors. I couldn't afford letting Andrea and Ricardo's girlfriend slip out of my grasp. Thankfully, my warriors had come on time to save me from getting shot by Andrea, but they might not always be available and it seemed to me that he was like a beast that could attack at anytime. They were chained but there was no telling what they could have up their sleeves.I turned back to tend to Ricardo's body lying half dead on the floor. He had been shot in the chest.Before we left the field where everything had happened, Katherine had somehow managed to notice that Ricardo was still breathing though it was with so much trouble. We managed to get him back to the pack mansion to see if there was a way that we could save him, and though I feared that the chances were slim, I could not just put it to Katherine like that. It was definitely going to hurt her so much. And just as I went on with my thought process, her voice interrupt

Katherine.It made no sense, all that Rachael was saying. I had just met her yesterday without a proper introduction even and suddenly, she had been planning on destroying my life and ruining my marriage.I turned to Riccardo, hoping that one of us would make sense of what Rachael was saying, but his eyes were on his girlfriend, obviously disappointed by her actions. I could feel the rage surging through his veins, and I reached for his hand and squeezed it lightly. I was disappointed and angry too, but I needed my child alive. “Quit the drama, Rachael, and hand my child over to me. It's obvious you don't know me, I can understand you are angry that Conrad and I are back together but, you don't know me, so please, hand me back my child. How can you all of a sudden be the one who has been trying to kill me when I don't know you.”“Argh!” She yelled out in frustration as she dumped my child into Ricardo's girlfriend's hands, “That right there is what you do that makes me mad, I attack y

Katherine.A feeling of nostalgia hit my stomach as we pulled up in front of Conrad’s house, a place that was once mine, too. I had only been away for a year, yet it felt as though it had been an eternity. Blowing out a rush of air, I turned to look at Conrad to meet his eyes on mine.“You are nervous,” he said with certainty in his voice and I nodded, “don’t be, please. You don’t have any reasons to.” I nodded again as he took my hand to give it a light squeeze.“Okay,” I said in response to the look he was giving me. Reaching for the back seat, he grabbed the baby carrier and stepped out of the car while hurrying to my side to help me out.I bit the inside of my cheek to keep my nerves down, yet my stomach churned as we stepped into the front porch. With the glass of wine left on the table there, I figured Conrad's mom was around, and those pair of critic's eyes were the first thing I met as we stepped into the house.“Katherine?” Her eyes were narrowed in surprise. She dropped the

ConradI was on the road like a maniac, according to Ricardo, Katherine was somewhat being held hostage at home and he wanted me to assist in breaking her out. I understood perfectly well what he meant, and I was rushing over there to carry out what was required of me. I wasn't doing this because of some sort of feelings attached, Katherine had saved me moments ago, it was only natural that I paid her back what I owed. My mother Lina was against my coming here, but there was no way I was letting someone who had saved me moments ago just get killed or harassed. She probably feared that me getting friendly with Katherine was going to trigger some sort of feelings in me, but after assuring her that my loyalty laid with Rachel, she allowed me to leave.The car came to a halt in front of the Patterson mansion, and without hesitation I stormed into into the place. On my way I had knocked down some few guards who dared to oppose me, but I did well not to kill them. In fact I was done with t

KatherineI stood in awe at the scene before me while trying to digest everything I had just witnessed. Frank was dead, and to be killed by Conrad? It was definitely a twist I hadn't expected. Nothing was ever as it seemed, I thought Clara was evil and all, but now I was convinced that monsters existed, and for some reason I felt like there was a greater evil lying in wait for the perfect time. I had no idea what to do at this point. Should I console Conrad or take my leave? Leaving when Conrad was at verge of breaking down emotionally was definitely a bad idea. He had just lost his best friend, there was no way I could just straight up leave without saying some words of comforts to him at least."I'm sorry things turned out this way. I never expected this to happen." "It's okay, you did the right thing, everything is my fault. Thank you for the help." Conrad replied. I was honestly surprised he was even able to speak in such a state, he was definitely stronger than I had imagined.

ConradI sat quietly before the council, and so did the other attendants of this meeting. Ever since Clara's murder I hadn't gotten a whiff of anything good. Things were spiraling out of control with every passing minute, and now here I was seated before the wolf council, waiting to be tried for a murder I didn't commit.Clara's father was present, as well as Lina and Rachel alongside Frank. The anxiety was clear on everybody's face, aside from Frank who has been awfully neutral about this entire case. "So tell me Mr Alaric, what evidence do you have to back up your claims of innocence? Do you have an alibi that can confirm your location at the time of Clara's kidnap and murder?"I didn't have anyone who I could say was my alibi, whoever that was framing me had done the job almost perfectly, I had no arguments to throw out as a claim of my innocence except saying it. "Do you really have to ask if that Monster did it?! The evidence is clear, he murdered my daughter and he should be pu

Katherine.The compound was bustling with people who were coming in to drop off the things that Dad, Andrea and Theresa had ordered for the wedding…my wedding and from my window with which I had been looking down from for the past few days, I admired the workers, at least, they were really working hard toward the wedding and not unenthusiastic as I was.My eyes followed the two men who had brought flowers as they walked back to their car and started the engines to leave. I was waiting for something to happen and just as I expected, the guards by the gate stopped then to thoroughly search their car. “Oh come on,” I groaned with a sigh as I backed away from the window. The security around the house had grown too tight since the first day Theresa came, and I wondered if Dad had read my thoughts and seen my desire to run away or if it was Andrea who was trying all he could to see I married him.Given the now tight security, my desire to run seemed near-impossible but, I needed to leave t

Conrad.The person staring back at me in the mirror was not me, he may look like me but, he certainly wasn't me, he was the shadow of my old self, but I did like him. I appreciate the way he mocked me, his eyes, they mocked me and I appreciate it, his mocking glare was the only thing that kept me sane. It was the only thing that reminded me that I was not supposed to break.'You are an Alpha, Conrad, you have a pack to lead,' that was what he said to me.The door to my room came open and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Rachael walk in, she was the other thing that kept me sane. Her reassuring words and her pleasant smiles had been of great help these past few days.“Leaving for work already?” She asked as she went to occupy the couch that was positioned next to the dressing table.Running my fingers through my hair, I turned my body to her before slowly tearing my eyes away from the mirror, "yeah, I think it's time I went back to the office, I have lots of things to do at the office
