Katherine.My hands froze around my teacup which was midway to my mouth and I dropped it with a sigh as I remembered the conversation I had with dad the previous night.'What was your discussion with Conrad about the lumber mill?' he had asked and then took a small bite of his steak.'I don't remember having one with him, why?' He pinned me down with his gaze, a trick he used when I was younger to get the truth out of me but, I was no longer little so, I returned his gaze with the same intensity with which he was looking at me. He exhaled deeply, 'the earlier you left that man, the better for the both of us. For you especially.' He took out a folded white paper from his pocket, held it up to my face before dropping it in front of me and tapping on it continuously as though I hadn't gotten that he wanted me to read it.Taking a quick glance at him, I picked the paper and read through it. My face turned pale as I assimilated the content of the letter, I couldn't believe what I had read

Katherine.Aiden took the letter from me and examined it closely, like he was hoping that the seal he saw on it would look different upon closer examination.“I think I should go give that to my dad,” I said, reaching out to take the letter from him, and he quickly placed it in my palm.“Yeah, yeah, you should.” I threw open the door and shut it behind me, “Katherine!” Aiden called after me and I stopped to look at him,” I think I will come with you, I need to know the content of the letter too.”I nodded and we both headed for the mansion. Monica, the housekeeper, told us that dad had just got back home and was resting in his room. We both went up to his room to find him. He could be tired, we knew, but some things were more important than the other and knowing the content letter in my hands at that moment, was more important than his sleep.“Alpha James,” Aiden called, tapping lightly on his slightly ajar door.“Go away, Aiden.” Dad said with a groan.“It is really important, dad, w

Conrad“Alpha Conrad?” Frank called, tapping me and pulling me away from my thoughts, and I raised my eyes up to see thirty-two curious eyeballs staring at me.Crap! I must have spaced out during the meeting. Again, that was the third meeting I was attending for the day and the nth time I was spacing out, that same day.“We were asking what your thoughts on Jordan’s opinion are.” I looked at Frank and the aforementioned Jordan, who was staring at me as if his life depended on my approval of the said opinion. But, I wasn’t listening. I didn’t know the topic they were discussing, let alone know what Jordan’s opinions were. My mind was all wrapped in thoughts around Katherine and the weird messages that I have been getting from her. I had tried calling her earlier to confirm those texts, but I could not reach her. I called Riccardo, called Sammie and Atlas -the two other warriors who went with her- but, for some unknown reason, none of their lines were going through.“Yeah, uhm,” I clea

Katherine.'No, she is fine, she just passed out due to stress. What could have caused her so much stress?' I think I heard someone say, the voice wasn't clear to me, but his words sounded like that.'So we have nothing to worry about?' The second man asked, ignoring the first man's questions.'I want to say yes but, I can't assure you of her wellbeing. The reason she is okay now, is mainly because she is a wolf. The impact from the fall and the stress which she has undergone lately affected her pregnancy, and if something like that were to happen again, I'm not sure any of us will like the result.' Was I going to lose my baby? I wasn't certain if I was hearing correctly, but what I heard scared me. My heart began racing inside of me as I opened my eyes to be greeted by blinding lights.A stray tear ran down the corner of my right eye and into my ear as I blinked and dad, Aiden and another man I recognized as the pack doctor came into vision.“Did you say my child isn't safe?” I ask

Katherine.“Who is this?” Dad spat out of anger and rage, “isn't this the man you said is being kind to you? That treats you with love and respect? Isn't he?” He was pointing to the television, “is this what you call the love? Is this how he respects you? Going after other women? Melody,” dad called as he tsked and shook his head continuously with disappointment clearly visible in his face.I was disappointed in myself. Disappointed at Conrad too, but, mostly, at myself.How did I not see this? How did I fall for his lies? I had always thought, throught out my whole life that I had lived, that I was smart enough to see through people. But Conrad, for the second time, had made me a fool.I looked away from dad and locked my eyes on the television that still had the video of the girl and Conrad in view, with Conrad who was now sharing a celebratory drink with the lady.Did he truly never love me? I asked myself as tears swelled up in my eyes. The first time was obvious, but this time? W

ConradIt made no sense why Katherine was acting the way she was. Sending me texts that made no sense, not picking my calls, sending my men back to me with no valid explanation. And now, asking that I am not able to get into her pack.After angrily wolfing out in the woods the other day, I tried my best to understand what I possibly could have done to Katherine to deserve the silent treatment, but I couldn't fathom out anything.The attitude towards me was hurtful, but, I guess that was the perks of being foolish. It had been obvious all along that Katherine never loved me after the way I had treated her wrongly, she would definitely want to get back at me. But I wanted to believe that it was just me being paranoid.But, wasn't my paranoia on the edge when I told her I loved her, and she didn't give me a response? How did I continue trusting her even knowing all of her fake affection was a lie.I pushed the door to my office open, and I rolled my eyes when I saw Frank seated and waiti

Katherine.It was as though doing the littlest things excited me, perhaps, it was my coping mechanism and I was glad and happy about it. My mind was starting to get more focused on myself and my child and less of Conrad. It was hard, though, to stop thinking about him, but I was glad my thoughts were no longer centered on him.My mind lately was focused on the business trip which was a few days ahead. I had several meetings with the companies shareholders and I had business deals to close, deals that would double the pack's financial status. I had many people to meet, Alpha's and commanding wolves from all works, big tycoons and each person had a deal which I couldn't afford to loose.Dad had tried to make me sit back at home because of my pregnancy but I didn't want to stay back, I wanted to be there to help close the deals, I wanted to be helpful to the pack.The door to Aiden's office which I now shared with him opened and he walked in with Sophia."The files should be ready before

Katherine"Don't be ridiculous now father, I didn't say any of that." I replied and he chuckled before the maid served us tea in a large tray. My father leaned forward and poured warm water into the herbs in the cups and stirred them gently before handing a cup to me."So how is the preparations for the trip going? You know there will be important people there and you can't afford to stress yourself out before the day itself arrives." My father said and I nodded before sipping from the teacup. The tea was sour and I did not still get the reason why father would drink this tea everyday like it was some delicious something. He said it was good for my baby but I wouldn't drink that everyday. "I would give you some tips on what to do when you get to the business trip. Where is it again?" He asked. "Italy." I replied and he hummed. "There would be big businessmen and tycoons there so all you have to do is impress. Not everyone acts rough with an ambitious pregnant woman who would stil

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
