~A few Weeks Later.~Omniscient POVThe alarm had failed Catherine and when she opened her eyes, she gasped seeing the magnitude of the sun shining with so much grace. She quickly checked her phone for the time and was in disbelief seeing herself being an hour late to work. Swiftly, she got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. While scrubbing her body with sponges, she realized that Stanley was not beside her. Catherine wasn't bored as she was aware of the fact that he was a busy man. Although there had not been any sort of chemistry between them, she still found him better than Philips. One thing was certain, she hated being late for work and the fact that she worked under her evil sister was sufficient enough to make her mood go sour. Regardless, she needed money to sort off so many things.Once she was done dressing, she rushed out of the house, hoping to lay her eyes on any moving taxi at that moment. Catherine was synonymous with punctuality and how she woke up late was
Catherine P.O.VImagine the bliss that accompanies you, being in a place where there is no pain, no suffering, no anguish, and not even distress.I was in that place, a place I could call home. A place where everyone is welcoming and hospitality is the watchword.Standing outside the Mansion, I watched as the children played on happily, with no distress, no trouble, and no fight.This is how I envisioned my life to be but all was taken away from me due to the torment of the four horsemen.I felt arms wrapping themselves around me and a figure coming to seat close to me."What are you doing out here alone?" Rose my maid turned friend asked the moment she sat down."Isn't this beautiful Rose? The fact that we are finally free from all our past sorrow and hardships that we used to face?" I asked, not taking my eyes away from those children playing."Yea, I know how it feels....Look at those kids, they know that they are always protected here, and that's why they don't have anything to wo
Catherine POV"It was the Rogue King, he was nearer than any of us can imagine," Curtis said after catching his breath. He had examined me and his eyes turned white while going through my head and I guessed he had seen what I saw when he released his hands."We need to speak with my father" Stanley announced almost immediately."Why are we meeting with him?" Rose asked. I was certain she hadn't gotten through her fears from the last encounter with him.I wouldn't say I had gotten over mine with him. He was really powerful no doubt. "He needs to know. We need to find a way forward after now. If she had the dream that the Rogue king is near, then we can't take it lightly" I wondered what he looked like.I was hoping I would catch a glimpse of what he looked like in the dream, but Rose had been so generous to wake me up and note the sarcasm.Curtis and Stanley head out of the room and we had no choice but to follow them. We arrived at the throne room and the entire place was utterly q
Catherine P.O.VWe were at the arena, where I was to commence my training. We were waiting for Stanley to arrive as we looked around the entire place."This is where we used to train, my father and I would come here training every day and sometimes, he would send his pack warrior here and we would train in all different combat" Stanley had three swords in his hands."Before you can be able to harness your power, I need to ask something real quick. Have you shifted before?""No, I haven't" He raised his eyes in surprise and uttermost disbelief at what I had just said."Well...It's not that easy, I have tried to shift plenty of times, but it's not just working" I said trying to hide my embarrassment.
"First of you need to understand the art of observation" He stretched his sword forward and the look in his eyes, portrayed that he was focused."Observation takes your eyes to look at your opponent with so much nerve within and notice his weakness..... Let's try it" He said turning to look at Rose and then me.We laid out swords at each other and watched him do his moves, while we followed suit. The entire training was ongoing, when I felt something flare up within me.'Lily is that you?' I asked hoping it would be her, but there was no reply from her.All I could think of at that moment was to get air as I was beginning to lose so much of it. I dropped my practice sword on the floor and fell to the floor.
Kevin POVThe doors opened and my father was sitting on his couch, with our Beta and the rest of the members that made up the earlier horsemen."Great to see you are back son. I hope you are enjoying your stay in school" He wasn't interested in all the talk he was spitting and just gave him an apt nod."Why do you have that face on? You seemed trouble." I looked up at him and then my mind linked him to the exception of others.'I need to speak with your father privately''That's why I called you in the first place. So we could talk privately' He replied through the mind link."Alright people, I would like to have a word with my son" Everyone stood up immediately and head their various ways, leaving me with my father.Once alone, my father stood up from his sit with so much grace.I couldn't deny the fact that he was aging fast and his knees are getting weak."You seem to be looking at me with the same face that shows pity to a wounded lion," He said observing my reaction."Father, age
Kevin POV "Where is she now?" He asked ignoring my previous comment. I couldn't say it, I couldn't let him know the truth. The truth was that I had hurt her so bad that she had to run away. "Answer me!" He demanded with so much authority in his voice. "She..ran...away!" Those three words would cause me so much guilt. My father wriggled free away from my grasp and stood up "What sort of a person are you? Who in their right frame of mind rejects their mate? How do you think you can cope in the world without your mate." He was hurt and I could see it. I knew I had done the abominable by having to reject my mate.
CATHERINE POV"It is something I cannot reveal right now. All I know is that there is a rogue king and he would be coming soon." He stated.I felt like I was still in a dream. Everything that Williams had told me was too much to process. I was the chosen one, the one prophesied to save everyone from the rogue King. It was a lot to take in."What sort of training will I have to do?" I asked, my voice wavering. I tried to keep myself calm, but my nerves were frayed."We will work on harnessing your powers, and training you in combat," Williams said, his voice calm and reassuring."First, we must find out what exactly your powers are. We know you have the golden power, but we need
