Katherine pov"Mate," Frey announced, making me take a stop in my aim to move out of bed. "Jude, Jade," I breathed out. The portrait of the both of them stared back at me. It was hanging on the wall opposite the bed and immediately I got out of bed, Frey and I noticed it. A smile curled up on my lips, acknowledging that they were mine and I was theirs. This was exactly how I felt when I had my first mate and although that ended tragically and with a lot of hate, I was glad to get to feel this way towards not just one person but two individuals. I rested my weight on the drawer beside me, still admiring how beautiful the portrait looked with both of them in it. Leaning against the strong frame of the drawer, I traced the edges of the picture hanging on the wall in front of me. In the painting, Jude and Jade stood together, their shared journey evident in the depths of their eyes. It was a connection that was more than ordinary, and I couldn't help but marvel at the unexpected turn
Katherine pov "Katherine," I heard my name and just on time, I turned around with a glare. "What?" "Woah, you're up early," Jade smirked, pushing the door open wide. Jude followed behind as they both stared at me in disbelief. I didn't give a reply, I was being cautious of what to say so I would be able to buttress my point about their infidelity. It took them a while but I believed they finally got the message. My gaze bore into Jude and Jade, an unsettling anger boiling within me. I stood there, tapping my feet impatiently, clutching Brenda's panties in my hand like an accusation waiting to be addressed. The room seemed to pulse with the unspoken demand for an explanation, and the air hung heavy with tension.In that charged moment, Jude's response was nothing short of deadpan. "Oh," he muttered, his eyes locking onto what I held. Jade, standing beside him, mirrored the realisation with widened eyes. Suddenly, an awkward silence enveloped us all, suffocating the room as if time
Katherine Pov"Katherine," I snapped out of my thoughts at the mention of my name. Blinking back to reality, my eyes began to scan through my environment, in search of the overly familiar voice that called out to me. "Lily," a warm smile curled up my lips as tears stung my eyes. My gaze softened and I pulled her in for a tight hug, remembering she was the reason we risked our lives in the first place. She was too young to have gone through whatever she had seen and I hated myself for not watching after her properly. She wouldn't have gone out of the bunker if I had kept my head straight and protected them like the Luna I had to be. "I'm so sorry," she cried out on my shoulder. "What? No, no, Lily do not apologise," I tried to object but she shook her head instead. "I should've listened and stayed back. I was so scared to lose Jade or have him as injured as Jude was and I went out to persuade him to come down to the bunker with us, where it was safe—""Lily," I cut in, stopping he
Katherine pov "Oh I saw you barge out of Jude's room. Did something happen?" Lily asked, changing the topic entirely. "Oh it's nothing, it's just..." I trailed off, my jaw dropping and my heart skipping a beat for a moment when my eyes met with who I did not expect. "Brenda."“You have a lot of audacity coming here, don’t you?” I glared. I wasn’t surprised that she was not dead, even if I saw the knife cut through her throat, a werewolf is meant to heal quickly and even if the knife had wolfsbane in it, it still should not have been able to kill her so quickly. Lily had the same snickering look in her eyes and I bet the entire pack felt the same way about it. “Hey,” she responded, nervously, sending her hand to the back of her head. I wondered why she would even bother to come and have a conversation with me, I already had a personal beef with her and the heavens knew that I was more angry at the fact that she slept with my mates than the knowledge of her betraying the pack. “
Sonia Pov My stomach growled for the umpteenth time, I was hungry but my legs felt too heavy to lift and I understood the waist pain that supported this discomfort I went through for the past months. Sighing, I pushed myself out of the bed, dragging my feet around and wishing Grey was around to help. Ever since Jade and Jude assumed control, it only made sense that Grey was their Beta. These three never seemed to have anyone's time ever since. They always disappear even before the sun rises and only show up every once in a while. I understood the responsibility that came with being leaders but I was heavily pregnant for fucks sake. I needed all the attention I could get. I waddled toward the kitchen, desperately craving a snack to curb my hunger. Opening the fridge, I rummaged through its contents, searching for something, anything, that would satisfy my craving.Murmuring to myself, the weight of my frustrations lingered as I contemplated the perceived lack of attention from Gre
Katherine Pov We all paced back and forth the ward hall way, I ended up settling down on a chair made of steel, placing my hand on my chin as I dived into thoughts. Fear, anxiety and worry clouded my entire body and even Frey feared for the worst. Grey was the only one allowed into the wardroom because his name was all Sonia would mutter. Lily, Jude and Jade stayed outside with me, along with Sonia’s mother. The woman had the most worrisome look on her face than the rest of us and I could not blame her, her only daughter who was heavily pregnant had a huge fall and was bleeding. In the midst of the tense atmosphere, I couldn’t help but notice how each person in the room was wrapped up in their own thoughts and concerns regarding Sonia’s condition. The collective worry for her well-being cast a heavy shadow over us.Abruptly, the room witnessed a burst of activity as two nurses and a doctor, accompanied by Grey, entered to attend to Sonia. The arrival of medical professionals broug
Jude pov Even with the happy news about Grey and Sonia's baby, there was still a bit of tension in the air. The joy of the upcoming addition to the family was shining through, but there was also a sense of responsibility because the doctor said Sonia needed to be careful.Katherine and Lily offered to help out, showing that everyone was ready to support Sonia. However, despite the celebration, Katherine didn't seem too happy with me or Jade. It was clear that she was still upset about what happened before. I worried that she might never fully forgive us, and it made the overall happy atmosphere a bit less cheerful. The room felt both happy and a little uneasy at the same time. It didn’t take long for the doctor to leave, Katherine was next. She only shared words with Grey and Sonia. And I was sure they both understood something was wrong because they shared the same questioning looks. Katherine left, slamming the door shut behind her and even making Lily flinch. Jade sighed, pinchi
Sonia Pov“Grey,” I mumbled, waking up from the slumber I think I spent hours in. His scent still lingered in the room and I knew he recently just left. His silence made me sure that he was not around me. I had fallen asleep in his arms, that one of which I remember. But I had fallen so deep in my sleep that I didn't even notice that he had left. I looked at the time to see it was already past eleven. Almost midnight. It had been several hours since I was discharged from the hospital and I had been sleeping since then. Everyone was supposed to be asleep at that time, I wondered why Grey was out of the room. Getting out of bed, I walked over to the bathroom. I opened the door slowly, hoping he was not in the bathroom doing his business. He was my mate and I had seen him naked several times but it was still going to be very awkward if I just walked right into the bathroom without his consent. Fortunately for me, he was not in there and I did not have to walk into Grey either on the
