ConradThe contortion of her facials, and the sudden darkening of her aura was enough to give me a hint of what Katherine was thinking. My question was absurd, one that I shouldn't have brought up in the first place. I blamed my instincts, it was a concept of reality, one that even I couldn't escape. Despite getting affection and attention from Katherine, I was still being cautious of Aiden. "What are you saying? What on earth are you talking about?!" She did not speak, but I could hear those questions just by looking at her. "You don't have to answer" I could tell she was already annoyed by my question earlier. And I knew quite well that adding the latter statement would only worsen things, yet I found myself doing the exact thing. I was supposed to apologize, but my ego wouldn't let me."Can you please just leave me alone" Katherine requested with a whisper. I didn't intend on leaving, but I didn't oppose her words. I just laid back on the bed without another word. My conscience

Conrad "Authorities have demanded that the alpha of Shadow Pack makes his appearance at the city hall tomorrow for clarification. Failure to adhere to this request could warrant that the Alpha gets detained, as the issue in question can threaten the peace of the packs” The news narrator continued. Katherine had suggested that we listen to everything that the narrator had to say. And here we were staring at the television once more."Don't let it bother you. Tomorrow we'll tell everyone the truth" Katherine said with assurance. Unlike me, she was rather confident and firm in her words. Perhaps I was worrying too much. I picked up my phone and put a call through to Frank. It wasn't a surprise that he was already aware of my situation before I called, after all it was aired on pack union television. "Gather as much evidence as you can. We can't afford to defeated publicly" I tasked him. He understood well the nature of the situation we were in. Once Clara won, there was no need trying

Katherine First thing I was glad about, even as it did not feel like it was going to be an easy ride, considering how the leadership of the pack union seemed biased at the start was that, Conrad had been able to convince them that he was not guilty to the allegation that they laid against him. Another thing, I was glad that I had decided to give myself the chance to love and trust him like I had always wanted, even as I had not completely owned up to the fact that I loved him in his presence, and was ready to stand with him regardless of how many tricks that Clara threw his way.“Conrad…” I muttered, as I turned to him. But his eyes were still closed.Seeing that he was still sleeping, I pushed the duvet off the bed and tried to get up. I wanted to do just anything to keep myself busy, as I had already gotten tired from resting. I would have chosen to go to the office, or just any other place, but Conrad had mentioned that I should pause work for at least a week. He even warned Ric

Conrad I had no idea how exactly to ring it into my mother’s ears so that she would listen, but so far, it’s been almost an impossible thing for her to do. Staying away from Katherine was not exactly a hard thing to do. I mean, if my mother was intentional about not causing trouble for me, she would have. But it was obvious that she had made it a mission to frustrate Katherine which troubled me in so many ways. I had just opened my eyes again after I had successfully made Katherine put me to sleep, and I was surprised that she was not in the room. Just as I was about falling back to sleep, with the awareness that she was somewhere around as I could still perceive her scent, my mother’s voice came. And this time, she was screaming loudly . I knew it was only one person she could talk to that way, as the hate in her voice was evident. But what I did not expect as I quickly rushed downstairs was that my mother would raise her hand, in an attempt to slap Katherine. She might have

Katherine"Wait, what?" Conrad stared at me shocked and I stayed there in silence. “You have found a way, what do you mean?”I did not exactly say anything, and waited for him to relax his nerves. But it felt like he was more worried about knowing. "How do you want us to deal with her, Katherine?" He asked again, this time a sigh left my lips."That shouldn't be of concern to you, Conrad and how I got the news isn't what you should stress yourself too much on," I intoned and stared at the window.I felt his hot gaze and my attention was diverted to him. I could read the doubts in his eyes and his inquiries but I wasn't ready to give an answer to all of that."Then how did you get your hands on it?" He asked stubbornly."From someone Conrad, do you think I can get this information in my hands just like that?" My brows ached at him for asking such an obvious question."That's true and what was the info all about?" He inquired."The person told me a lot of things about Clara and there

KatherineSoon it was evening, Conrad and I alighted from the car as we made our way to the famous restaurant in the city. We booked a table and got ourselves comfortable there. "Do you think she would suspect a thing when she gets here?" I asked, feeling nervous."Calm down Katherine, you don't have to stress yourself too much," He said to me and I gave him a smile."By the way, what should we order for? We can't just sit here like detectives, you know?"I teased him and he simply rolled his eyes at me."Even detectives can't resist the urge of food, what are you talking about?" He said to me and I laughed out loud."Waiter," He called and soon a lady came to us with the menu."What would you like to order sir and ma'am?" Her Italian voice came in."A plate of sausage and a bottle of water please," I said. I wasn't that hungry."Noted, how about you sir?"She asked and Conrad ordered for a bottle of water instead, which made me frown a bit."Are you planning to make me the glutton here

KatherineI stared at Conrad and wondered what he was going to say next."You have to tell the press that I am not the owner of the baby or you lose the reputation you so much try to maintain, I hope you do know what I mean," He glared at her coldly. Clara's eyes dimmed a little and looks of uncertainty flashed across her eyes for a second."I- I don't understand what you mean," She stuttered as she quickly diverted her gaze away from ours. I knew she realized what he meant. She did not want to accept the fact that her secret was already blown up."Then I am sure you can remember what happened in Chicago, On the 15th May 2005!" I whispered fiercely at her so that others won't hear it. Her eyes widened in terror like she had just seen a ghost, her face went pale and her eyes were twitching."What do you mean? Where did you get that information?" She grabbed my hands across the table like a lunatic but I quickly shoved her hands away and got up."How we got it is none of your business, j

ConradI nodded at my secretary as I quickly made my way to the meeting. She had informed me of an urgent meeting that was being held, and from the time that it was to start, I was two minutes late."What is it all about?" I asked as I slowly approached the room. The lady stopped and flipped through the spreadsheet with her."The J&P Ltd and some other companies who terminated their contracts with us would like to come to an agreement with you, that was what the CEO stated, Sir," She said and my eyes narrowed. So it's time, it seems the effect of Clara's announcement has brought back good luck to the company.I brushed off any thoughts of distraction and nodded at her as I slowly opened the door."Oh, CEO Conrad, it's so good to finally meet you," A burly man laughed out loud as soon as I got in. He stood up and extended a handshake in which I obliged."You are welcome," I said formally and the latter rubbed his protruded belly with satisfaction. I greeted the other tycoons in the ro

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
