KatherineFate was against my happiness, and now it was certain. It was clear now that the heaven's didn't want me to be happy no matter what, because it really seemed so. I had handled the fake love scenes that Clara and Conrad played before me quite well. But Clara being pregnant was not something that sat well with me."Just why?!" I cried out only to my hearing. Frustrated and mad at both myself and Conrad, I took to breaking the glass wares around just to ease my anger, but nothing was working. My life was completely messed up at that moment, and I was beginning to get tired of living in general. Ever since my fate got webbed in with Shadow pack, I couldn't say that I have been living a life. Every catastrophe had befallen on me the moment I got married to Conrad.I used to think my marriage to Conrad might have been the worst event of my life. But I was blatantly wrong. Fate still had enough torture in stock for me. There was no way I was going to escape fate as long as I kept

ConradYou could think that as an alpha of a pack like mine and the CEO of Shadow pack, my life would be pretty easygoing. And it is, to be honest. Or at least it would have been if my father had not made me kick start my leadership with marriage problems. For the past five and a half hours, I have been behind my desk in my office at the top floor burning my way through mountains of paperwork that just never seemed to decrease. At this point I was beginning to suspect my secretary Lisa or sneaking in more files whenever I went on a bathroom break. All this was definitely thanks to Katherine's new policy. Everybody was doing their absolute best to meet up with her new policy, and it was affecting the amount of paperwork I had to deal with Speaking of the devil, the door of my office pushed inwards and Lisa herself stalked in with as much aplomb as you would expect an experienced secretary to have in their home bases. And just like I had suspected, there was a brand new pile of paper

ConradThe effects of a trauma filled home had it's Perks. The fear of death was slowly leaving my body, as I knew that they were people who could do worse. My driving was reckless, yet precise. My mind was still wild from what Aiden had said and I was driving at top speed to get home as quickly as possible. "Conrad you're ho—""Step away from me!" I snarled at the approaching Clara. My wolf was partially in control, and he wasn't very welcoming to anybody who wasn't his mate."Conrad! She's only looking out for you!" Lina cried after me. I ignored her completely and kept marching forward. I wasn't in the mood for any of their dramas. I had been lenient with them for some time now. It didn't mean I had completely welcomed Clara. And as for my mother, she knew better than to try to stop me while in that state of mind.I raced up the staircase, and went straight towards Katherine's room. But Aiden had intercepted me. He wasn't going to let me through to Katherine. "Get out of the way

KatherineDefinitely I did think that after my suicide attempt that Conrad would change for the better. But that wasn't the case at all. It had been five days now since Andrea saved me from myself. And ever since then Conrad hadn't said a word to me. Neither had he ever come to visit me to check on how I was doing.I could vaguely recall asking him to leave my side. But I couldn't tell if that had been a dream, or if it truly happened. I was still under the effects of the Lycan's breath, when whatever had happened, happened. I wasn't in my right state of mind. Ricardo has been telling me he visits while I sleep, but I wasn't buying anything he said. He was the same man who had set up a date between Conrad and I. It wouldn't be a surprise if he was saying all those things just to keep me from hating Conrad anymore than I already did.Even if Ricardo's words were true, it didn't matter anymore. If Conrad wanted to show that he cares, then he should come say it to my face. Him visiting

Katherine"A meeting at Shadow Corporation?" I asked Aiden who had just informed me of a new meeting update. Shadow corporation was Conrad's company. I had no idea what the meeting was for. But I guess it would be disclosed later."Yes, all shareholders of the company have been called for a meeting. You and I will go as representatives of the company" Aiden informed."When is this meeting? What day and time?" "Tomorrow, right at twelve noon!" Aiden relayed. "Okay, thanks for the update" It has been a week now since my last confrontation with Conrad. And so far, everything was going relatively well. I've been steering away from the troubles of his family as much as I could. And it had really saved my mental health a lot.I still hadn't heard any updates concerning Andrea. I was beginning to think that my investigation team was incompetent, but I decided not to conclude so suddenly. Even I could tell that Andrea wasn't going to be so easy to crack. His life was mysterious, and somethi

Katherine."Stop it Conrad!" I yelled before pulling away from his hold. Almost immediately, the ladies voice returned to the speaker with another announcement."We're sorry for any difficulties caused. The power will be back on in ten seconds!" Ten more seconds with Conrad? The universe must truly despise me. It was unexpected, but the last ten seconds were actually spent in silence. It was only the tension in the atmosphere that was unbearable for me. The elevator door opened up slowly, and I raced out the moment it was wide enough for me to leave.Conrad seemed to have another place to be. He didn't leave with me. Not that it mattered to me anyways. It was best he went elsewhere. I wanted to be as far away from him as possible.I headed straight to the spa, and had one of the most relaxing hour of my life. The ladies there were really nice, and for a while I had actually forgotten that I was living a miserable life.I left ten minutes before the end of the break, and headed strai

ConradI had never really believed that distance made the heart want! It was not a concept I was familiar with. However, these past few weeks had made me realize just how true those words were. I had tried relentlessly to get Katherine out of my thoughts, but nothing was working.It was impossible to forget her, her touch and everything about her.I stood from the seat and dismissed myself from the dining table. I was done with breakfast, there was no need wasting time sitting there. Katherine had visitors, so she would probably be occupied. I had intended to meet up with her. But I didn't want to intrude on her guests.I had barely taken a step forward when my eyes caught the figure of Katherine from the back. She was leaving the house, but where to?My instincts kicked in, and I trailed after her in secrecy."She was going for a run" I whispered to myself. Perhaps I should do the same too. It had been long since I wolfed out. I wasn't going to trail her, I would just do the same to e

ConradPerhaps my troubles were coming to an end, or they were just beginning. I couldn't tell. Something ominous was growing within me, my intuitions were screaming. But I decided to turn towards the little light that was still visible. After I had learnt about Clara's pregnancy, and the truth, I was a little confident that my problems will reduce. So why did I feel this way?I pushed away the bad thoughts, and focused on what was important. Katherine. I had absolutely no idea on what to get her. I wasn't exactly the kind who went shopping with women. I had no idea what to buy, so I decided on buying anything I felt would sit right with her. Everything looked good on Katherine, I was just buying those I figured would suit her even better.It was a brief shopping, and it ended within minutes. The store I visited wasn't too far from the house, so it didn't take much time for me to return home either.It seemed my intuitions had been right. Drama had definitely been waiting for me. Li

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
