ConradI watched as Katherine walked out of the study, and immediately she was gone I collapsed onto the chair nearest to me before breathing a sigh of relief. I was convinced now that Katherine was definitely my saving grace.I pulled out my computer and updated the status of our shareholders. I didn't upload it to the company's official website yet, I just wanted to be sure I didn't forget and miss out on this opportunity. Once the contract was signed and the everything was through, then I'll make it official.I immediately put a call through to Frank and informed him of the current deal. He was my beta so I figured he should also be aware of the current situation. He was a bit skeptical about selling thirty percent of our company's share to only one company. But after I had explained to him about the benefits, and the authenticity of the deal he was forced to comply.Our company wasn't doing very well, so we didn't really have much of a choice in the matter. After I had ended the c

Katherine My reply had definitely fanned up some flames of anger and disappointment in Conrad, because in the next moment he was questioning my choices."Why Katherine? Why don't you want to go with me?" Conrad questioned with a coarse tone. I could tell he was angry at my answer, but I had my reasons for that."I don't really want anymore drama with you Conrad, we're both adults, and we're free to make our choices" I gave the first reason. "And secondly, it's supposed to be an auction night for big companies, don't you think it's more appropriate I show up with a workmate. Besides you have Clara to go with.""It's about Aiden right?" Conrad asked."Maybe" I answered nonchalantly. I was kind of satisfied with his jealousy. I didn't know why but I found it quite satisfying."I'm sorry, but I'm going with Aiden" I made clear before leaving the study for him. I could tell he was still staring at me as I left, but I honestly had no choice but to turn him down. If I didn't I will only retu

KatherineThe entire hall fell silent, and even the auctioneer was too stunned to speak. Slowly all eyes turned towards the figure that had just made the proposal. But despite every eye being on him, the man remained unwavering.Finally realizing he had a job to do, the auctioneer returned to his duties. "One million dollars, going...?" He only asked once. He was already aware of the quietness that ensued after the man placed his bid meant nobody else was opposing him. So what was the need to ask anymore questions? "Gone" He announced, and once again the butlers had delivered the crescent moon to the unknown buyer.My eyes finally trailed away from Aiden who had also turned to see the figure of the man who had outbid him. I followed his eyes, and I too caught sight of the admirable figure. The man behind me had pitch black hair which contrasted with his ocean blue eyes making them stand out most out of his facial features. His tan skin color collaborated with the light from the chande

Katherine All eyes turned towards where I sat, and my cheeks turned red in embarrassment. I had no words, neither did I have the slimmest idea of what was going on.'The package?' I questioned myself as I recalled Andrea's words. So this was what he meant. What exactly was he trying to do with this public announcement? I was curious and confused. If he had wanted to hand me the item, he should have just done so when we met earlier. Making it public was just going to cause drama for me after now.I smiled at the butler who walked up graciously to hand the crystal moon to me. I couldn't possibly refuse, we were in public and I didn't want to appear rude. Moreover, I definitely still wanted the crystal moon for myself.I turned towards Andrea and caught him smiling at me. I returned a genuine smile this time around, before turning to face questions from Aiden."Do you know him from anywhere?" Aiden had asked me. Andrea did seem like he knew me, but I couldn't say the same for him."I've

Conrad It has been a week and three days since after the auction sales, and the past week has been relatively fair. Shadow Pack's company wasn't fully stabilized yet, but we weren't struggling like we used to. The auction sale had gathered enough income for us to get ourselves back in shape, and with the partnership deals that were flooding in, I was definitely expecting greater news in the future.Not only had the auction sales made the company flourish, it had also added some spice to my relationship with Katherine. She was still hostile towards me, but I could sense the drop in hostility ever since the night of the auction.'The auction night' my mind recalled, and the memories of our moments came flooding back to my head. I wished it had lasted a bit longer, but Aiden wouldn't let that happen. He always managed to be the stumbling block between me and Katherine.I brushed him away from my thoughts and decided to focus on the better thoughts. Katherine's lips had tasted even bette

KatherineI had watched the vehicle that almost rammed into us, and from everything I had seen so far, it was obvious the action was intentional. There was absolutely no need for the driver to have switched lanes the moment he did. And who on earth drives diagonally on a normal day? "Are you okay?" Conrad asked me with worried look on his face."I'm fine, I'm fine" I assured. My breath was a bit laboured, but I was managing to get it under check. 'What just happened?' I kept questioning myself . Could it be? 'No, it's not possible' I convinced myself and brushed away the possibility of my thoughts. Conrad had immediately brought out his phone, and was probably calling the police and the ambulance. The driver had received a few minor scratches, but Conrad wouldn't hear him turn down medical assistance.I turned to myself and clutched to my belly lightly. I knew Conrad might have heard my light exclamation earlier, and would probably be curious by now. I had been using a special perfum

Katherine I ate in silence most of the time, while the other times, I spent it replying the messages Conrad would throw at me randomly. It was just basic questions, so I didn't really have a need to leave him hanging."Thank you" My mouth was still full when I uttered those words, but I could guess he understood what I was trying to say."It's no problem, you'll probably do more for me" Conrad said with a sense of surety and confidence. I didn't really say anything, in fact I had nothing to say. I would probably do the same for him, or not, I really couldn't tell. However, what I could tell was where this conversation was going, and I didn't want to further it."Thank you for your help, but I really want to sleep right now. Could you please leave?" I requested for him to leave.Conrad's pupil deflected from the plates he was taking care of, and focused on me."I'm not leaving, you've slept enough. You've been sleeping since we returned" He left the tray completely and turned towards m

Conrad Memories of my night with Katherine three days ago kept replaying in my head. She had said that she couldn't find a way to love me, and I just couldn't hide my hurt and embarrassment. I don't know if I had overreacted by walking out of the room angrily, or if she took it as a normal reaction to the information she had given me.Given the condition we were in, she probably couldn't expect any different reaction from me. I was hurt, and she knew it. So why wouldn't I act hurt?I was trying so hard to justify my actions, but my conscience was a judge who was never partial. It kept taunting me, and the guilt for my actions wouldn't leave my head.Anytime I was alone, my head would randomly pick up events of that night, and every replay made me hate myself even more.It's been three days, and we haven't spoken to each other. We barely saw each other, and when we do I always took the opposite turn. I was still guilty of what I had done, and it was definitely okay to say that I was h

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
