KRISTINA'S POV

Now that I think about it, maybe I was wrong. Maybe Nathan did have another motive besides love after all.

"Kristina?"

"Yes, Nathan?" The sound comes out sounding like I'm choking. I clear my throat nervously.

"Did you… want something?"

"Umm…"

"Oh no. It's just that you haven't been here since yesterday afternoon. I was wondering if I'd done something wrong."

"What? No, Nathan. Of course not," I assure him, trying to sound normal.

He isn't fooled by it, though, judging by his look. He raises an eyebrow expectantly.

"You weren't planning anything today were you?"

"Actually–"

"Nathan…" I cut in sternly. He holds his hands up in surrender. "Alright, alright. Yes, I had planned to surprise you. But when I got here–"

His expression grows thoughtful. "Something wasn't right." He shakes his head, still thinking about it.

"I'll tell you later, okay? We've already been together for nearly ten months, why does the idea of being with me scare you off so much?"

    KRISTINA'S POV"Oh, I just got excited about something." The movie's paused in front of us and the credits are rolling, but neither of us have noticed them. I've already watched two episodes by this point so it doesn't really matter. I'm not too tired anymore, anyway. "Do you know where our new neighbors came from?" I ask Nathan casually. It feels weird asking about it so suddenly. Like I've been avoiding it since it happened yesterday. Or maybe this is just how it feels when you're with someone after having been away for months. "They live in the apartment directly across from ours now." "No idea," Nathan replies, shrugging. His fingers trace patterns on my bare knee. "We'll have to ask when next we go out there." "Okay, that sounds good," I agree, smiling to myself. I close my eyes again to continue watching the movie, but the words are meaningless to me now. All I can think of is that Nathan and I spent the afternoon together. I had been dreaming about it ever since my dream

    KRISTINA'S POV"Nathan…" He lets out a small sigh and I hear rustling sounds on the other side of the line. "Look, Kristina, I just need some time." He pauses, as if to collect himself. When he continues, his voice cracks slightly. "Just give me some time and we'll talk when I feel ready." What does he mean by that? We don't always have a lot of time together, so this isn't unusual for us. But still, I don't like it. I think back to when we first moved in with our respective lives, back when things weren't perfect between us. I was constantly having to rush away or go somewhere else. Now that we're finally together in the same hospital, we're actually seeing each other every day… I miss him. The thought of being apart from him hurts too much to be considered healthy. So many thoughts race through my mind at once. And suddenly I have an idea. A stupid one, yes. I know Nathan likes to joke around and tease people when he feels down, but I can tell how sad he is right now and I hate

    KRISTINA'S POV He sounded exhausted and I hated the sound of that; it's like he's forcing himself not to worry and instead trying to hide the fact that he cares about me. Something told me that wasn't exactly true. I didn't like it one bit. It felt like lying, pretending he wasn't worried about something when we both knew deep down he was. I decided that I wanted to talk to him about it. I needed to. Whatever this was, it was eating away at both of us and I didn't know who it was hurting the most. But it had to be someone, right? Because otherwise it would drive one of us crazy. "Nathan, please tell me what's going on!" The desperation I heard in my own voice surprised me. I didn't mean to sound so desperate, though. But it happened all the same. And the way he flinched at my loud outburst brought me some satisfaction. When he remained silent I continued in a quiet tone. "Huh? What do you mean, Kristina?""Please?" I didn't want to use the tone that made everyone avoid me. Even

    KRISTINA'S POVMy eyes were stinging from unshed tears, but I refused to let them fall. I couldn't cry in front of Nathan and he had already proven he was capable of breaking my heart so why should I risk anything more than necessary? "I really do," Nathan said softly. "But you might find some other guy that makes you happy." "I'd rather choose you than anyone else." I replied. I looked up at him. His face was completely sincere, and there was an intensity in his eyes that I rarely saw directed towards me. It made me feel warm inside to see how much he wanted me. How much he loved me... but how little he knew about himself. It hurt to realize that maybe I didn't need him like I thought I did after all. Not anymore. "You don't need to choose me. You can make your own decisions, just as you've done all your life. I don't care who you choose to be with because no matter who you date, no matter who loves you, I'll still want you." He cupped my cheek and smiled gently. The words sent

    KRISTINA'S POV"This is bullsh*t." My voice rose an octave higher at the end of my sentence, the words coming out in an angry whisper. Why did Nathan insist on doing this? I hated feeling embarrassed about my body or being told I had a "pretty face". That's all it was pretty… a pretty face… nothing more, but here we were, getting flustered and upset because I had a small pimple under my lip, instead of being able to kiss anyone. I felt humiliated. "Why are we acting like this?" I asked, my face growing redder with frustration by the second. "Is this some kind of sick joke to you?" Nathan's green eyes flashed angrily. "Who do you take me for?" he asked angrily. "I don't have any problem seeing you with pimples all over your face. It doesn't bother me in the least." I stared at him with wide eyes. Had he just confessed to having a crush on me? That wasn't possible. There must be some kind of mistake. This was just another of Nathan's tricks. I was reading too far into things. We we

    KRISTINA'S POVAs we reached our destination, I began struggling against the straps of my grocery bag containing Nathan's snacks. My arms were feeling heavy and weak, and I was beginning to wonder if I had made the right decision after all. I knew Nathan wouldn't allow me to carry anything myself–not that it mattered. I just couldn't bring myself to ask him to give me a piggyback ride the whole way. But I was starting to doubt whether this was a good idea. What if I slipped, or lost my balance and fell? Would it look that bad? I wasn't sure, but I doubted I could stand upright if I ended up falling. I was just thankful I was wearing shorts today, so at least I wasn't embarrassed to show my butt. Nathan chuckled lightly, watching me struggle. "Let me help you with that." "Thanks."I glanced at him nervously but held out my arms anyway. He quickly unclasped the straps, and handed my bag to me, taking both my arms in return and carefully lifting me up onto his shoulders. "You'll be

    KRISTINA'S POVDespite my happiness, it was suddenly replaced by fear. Just right about when I was living a peaceful life together with Nathan and my children, I suddenly received an order from Laurence to return to the Crimson Snow Pack, maybe because Alpha Laurence was agitated by how Alliyah flirted with his beta, Carl, even though they were already married for several years. Laurence eventually evicted Carl from his position as the pack's beta, leading him to head over the Black Fangs Pack together with Alliyah.Now, I had no idea what happened after that. I just know it was very upsetting to me and made me more depressed than ever. My mind kept replaying scenes of the events that took place before I found out that Laurence impregnated me. I can remember so clearly everything that happened and now, it seems impossible to forget. Everything. That's why, everytime something happens or anyone mentions that we don't have much time left, all of us start thinking, what am I doing here?

    KRISTINA'S POVWhat's worse, the man with the black mask was staring at me. His eyes didn't show any emotion, like those of an animal observing its prey. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive. I felt terrified. One of his accomplices whispered something into his ear, and then the leader spoke, "Don't get cocky about this, Amore. I want your boss dead for what he did to our little friend here. You should have thought about that before you decided to attack him. Your mistake is not being fast enough for our dear old friend, Lexie." He turned around and walked away without looking back at me. As he left the room, he took a small device out of his pocket and pressed on it. A moment later, two figures came through the door. One wore red clothes and was holding two guns aimed right at my head. Another, wearing gray military attire, held an assault rifle, like how I used to carry mine. I recognized both of these guards because their faces are always plastered in news footage, especiall

    KRISTINA'S POVThe next morning, Laurence came up with an idea to make this transition easier, and said it would be much better if we had someone take over some of the responsibility. I agreed right away. The others thought I was being unreasonable. I wasn't. As long as they were safe, I cared less where our lives took us. I am willing to sacrifice everything for them. Even though I didn't tell them how much of a hard time I'd had when we decided to have another child, I could see in their faces that they already knew, even though I hadn't said anything. Laurence made them understand that it wasn't about what we wanted, it was about what was best for everyone. Now, after the war against the Black Fangs Pack ended, I was finally able to relax. Even though we had lost most of our land during the war, the pack remained. We built a new settlement in the far northern region of the land, which is very near my old territory. A lot of people are happy to rebuild their homes. In fact, they

Laurence and I finally accepted each other, but our joyous moments together didn't last as I never got healed even after Nathan desperately tried to save me. His healing process wasn't enough, or so they thought.Alliyah was the main cause why I never felt better, she poisoned me after she figured out that Laurence was the one responsible for trapping her father. She sought for vengeance, and the only thing she could think of that would make Laurence suffer was to harm me.Laurence had no other choice left, he couldn't be mad at Nathan as he did his best, which he witnessed. He could only provide me and my triplets the happiness that they deserve for the remaining lifespan that I had, like fulfilling their wishes.They finally got blessed by the moon goddess.

    KRISTINA'S POVNathan didn't notice the wounds on my body, maybe I got them from running hard while I was in wolf form. After a while I felt delirious. I was constantly moaning and writhing in extreme pain. With the strength of my growl I got Nathan's attention. When Nathan saw my wound, he immediately cleaned it and bandaged it. I just calmed down when I felt Nathan's firm grip on my hands. I was unconscious until the next day and night. Nathan changed my bandage again until he saw that my wound was slowly healing. On the second day, I woke up a little, but still seemed out of my mind. Nathan forced me to eat. Even though I didn't want to eat at first and kept moaning and whining in extreme pain, I eventually had to give in. He also gave me some medicine so I could get better and I did, but my appetite was still gone. After two days in bed I felt better and finally started eating again. On the third day I managed to eat some food. After that Nathan left for work and I was alone in

    KRISTINA'S POVI was not comfortable with the ride so I called Nathan and talked to him. I took off my clothes and retreated into a corner. "Kristina, what are you doing?" Nathan shouted. "We need to run fast using my wolf form. I don't want my clothes to get ruined when I transform into a wolf. I can now run fast without my clothes getting caught on the trees."I quickly made Nathan follow what I said. He was startled when I grabbed him and pulled him up. Then, he wrapped his arms around my neck and closed his eyes tightly. "Kristina–"But the wind swallowed his voice as I shot off to the forest. Nathan gasped and clung to me very tightly. He wanted to say that their run was romantic. But the f*ck it wasn't. There was nothing romantic about the frigid and harsh wind slapping his face, nothing sweet about his ears popping from pressure. And especially not romantic about how fast we were running in his state of mind. So, there was no romance between us and neither was there any pa

    KRISTINA'S POVThen, without warning, he leaned down to pull something up from behind me and wrapped a blanket around me. "Don't worry about that." He smiled gently, wrapping his hand around mine before leading me to sit by the edge of the ledge. I glanced down at our intertwined fingers briefly before turning my gaze back towards the view. "We'll have a nice picnic when we make it to the mainland. I'm sure we'll find a nice spot for that as well." "I don't suppose you happen to know where we are right now?" "No." I said, looking at the horizon again, watching as the sun slowly set behind it, "But I do know that it's almost sunrise, so that means it should be safe to leave soon." Nathan nodded and turned back to look at the sky. The sun finally broke free above the water and started its journey towards the west, leaving trails of golden light in its wake, lighting the way to our destination. We sat together quietly, enjoying the view, but Nathan seemed much more at ease than ear

    KRISTINA'S POVMy voice cracked as another sob escaped me. "All three of us…" It felt good to admit how much I had missed him. The silence was deafening this time. A cold hand clasped itself around my arm. "That's not happening, Kristina," he said firmly. "There's no way we can escape. And besides, you have no chance of getting past that thing."He sighed and shook his head. "This is all my fault." "Nathan–" "You don't understand!" He exclaimed, suddenly enraged, "We're locked up in the damn prison for our entire lives. You can't blame me for this. I did nothing wrong! You did everything wrong!" His voice rose into hysteria. "You're supposed to care about me! Why are you acting so stupid? You're never going to forgive yourself, aren't you?" "N–Nathan…" "Stop acting like an idiot! How many times do I have to tell you that this is my fault! Don't give me that crap about how you tried to help me! All you did was drive the wolves away! Just like you always do!" I winced as he screa

    KRISTINA'S POVMy eyes frantically scanned the area surrounding us in search of an escape route. But all I found were empty hallways. No windows, no doors. Just a plain white door that I had just walked into. It was locked from the outside. I spun around to face Nick's direction and screamed out his name once more. Nothing. I tried to break the door down, even though I knew there would be no point. It didn't budge. So I did the only thing that came to mind and grabbed hold of the handle. The door wouldn't budge either, so I threw it against the wall as hard as I could and stepped back. There, I saw what I had been looking for. A thin sliver of light peeking out from underneath the door. I pushed the door open slightly, revealing a small stairwell that led down to the first floor. I quickly ran down, stopping on the ground floor where an old-fashioned elevator sat at the end of the corridor. A single button illuminated the small display board beside the buttons. 'Lunar Control'. I p

    KRISTINA'S POVI could see him trying not to grin, but failing miserably. "Well… yes," I admitted. Nathan gave me a pointed look, and continued in an unimpressed tone of voice. "But if I didn't get to spend time with you now and then, I'd be all alone. So… you do want to do it?" He smirked. I rolled my eyes, "It isn't like we have much else to do anyway–" "Oooh, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. The way they talk so sweetly. Like, 'Hello, how may I help you?' and stuff." "I'm not planning on doing any more dating than a friend, okay? Just hanging out and stuff." I scowled. Nathan just laughed. Then he suddenly froze, looking over at me. His mouth formed a wide O as he looked back at the book that he had been studying. A few seconds passed before his expression changed completely. A small smile spread across his face as he started laughing loudly. I stared blankly at him. Nathan finally took notice of me again, and his expression switched from one of hilarity to one of concern.

    KRISTINA'S POV"And what makes you think I was ever in love with that idiot?" This time he turned to look directly into my eyes. There was such hurt and confusion in his face that I couldn't help myself. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him into an embrace. "You don't have to be jealous or upset if you love me, Nathan." He held me tight for a few seconds, then pulled away and walked off down the sidewalk, not making eye contact with me once. Once he got to the end of the block, he glanced over his shoulder. I didn't dare follow after him to make sure he got home safe. Instead, I watched him leave. His blond curls bouncing around behind him. The light breeze ruffled through them. Nathan was so cute. I wished I was more like him and not like… well, me. The sound of someone knocking on my bedroom door snapped me out of my reverie. "Who is it?" "It's me, Jasmin." "Come in." My daughter, Jasmin, entered my room. I sat up in bed, propping myself up with a pillow. My bedhead was
