Katherine pov All the noises were loud, yet the people were so far away. My head hurt and I couldn’t open my eyes or my mouth. I felt myself being lifted from the ground. “Katherine, please stay with me!”The screams did not help how my head hurt. Being lifted by other people helped me understand that even my entire body hurt. The place where the wolf had taken a chunk out of my flesh stung more than anything in life. It was all amplified and so much that I thought I felt even everyone’s emotion. “What happened?”“She fought the dead wolf.”I fought the dead wolf.“She’s badly injured too.”“That’s new, she should be healing by now.”These conversations went on over my head and I heard it all so clearly, it was hard to think I was imagining things or dreaming. I thought I would scream out and cry when someone gripped my arm grazed over the open wounded flesh. “Oh shit!”“What is it?”Yeah, what is it?“It’s wolfsbane.”That explained a lot now, didn’t it. Will Brenda be alrig
Katheri povThe sound of people murmuring drove me out of my sleeping state. Squinting my eyes, I try to look at the blurry moving figures across the bed further. “What is going on?” I mumbled, shuffling around the bed and trying to sit upright. “Shit, we woke her up,” a familiar voice said. “Isn’t it a little too early to be this active in the morning?” I asked, scratching my eyes and finally being able to see Jude and Jade. “Boy am I glad you’re okay,” Jude sighed out. He always was the soft one who had the tendency of petting and spoiling anyone with care. I couldn’t help but smile at both of them. “Good morning,” my voice still remained like a mumble but I believed they heard me properly. “Finally,” Jade said out loud. He had his arms crossed and looked a little puzzled. I stared back at the both of them, wondering if I had done anything wrong in my sleep. “What happened?” I stuttered, removing the sheets from my body and trying to stand up on my feet. Placing all of my w
Katherine Pov Her eyes focused on me like she was trying to uncover a hidden truth. I managed to keep a straight, yet worried look but Luna didn't seem like she was buying it much. "You know the council decides what the Alpha says," she said, circling her finger around the edge of the cup she held on to."I figured," I said, still very clueless of what was going on. "You really don't remember anything about yourself? Because you're making my husband and I be at a tight spot here. It's harder to keep them calm every single day that passes," she sighed out, frustrated already. I almost felt bad, but my fear of betrayal still overshadowed my sympathy. I didn't care if they threw me out, all I wanted was to enact revenge and save my pack. My eyes turning red was most likely because my father died and I was the last alpha blood in the pack. It increased my obligation to rescue my people from the monster that they all suffered from since the coup.“I’m sorry for causing you and your fa
Katherine Pov"I got it!" I dashed back to where they were.The boy was still stuck in his form and position and I felt more pity for him when I realised that he would have to suffer a little wolfsbane as a child."What's your name?" I squatted in front of the little child."Sean," he replied, squeaking. "You know what wolfsbane is right?" I asked, not being able to bring myself into giving it to him without his permission. He nodded his head and I smiled."I do," Sean whispered."I'll have to inject it into your vein, along with some other medicine, the pain will only last for a few seconds," I paused to look at him with a reassuring smile.His eyes never left mine as he thought well about his next decision. We could always wait till he got really tired and turned back to human but no one knew how long it was going to take. He was a child, he was full of energy, so it could be hours before he wore off. And with the look of things, he still had no idea on how to control his wolf, mea
Katherine Pov"You know, I think I'm getting used to this your quarantine free days," Brenda said, breaking our silence. We were at a porch, across the pack house and enjoying the sunset. This time, I wasn't trying to escape, I was just enjoying the company beside me and how much she understood me. "I know, I'm the best," I chuckled and eventually we both stumbled into an impromptu laughter. "Tell me though," Brenda whispered as soon as the laughs died down. "You and your mates, how're things coming along with them? From my angle, it doesn't seem like the three of you acknowledge one another."I took a pause, contemplating on how to respond to her in a way that she might understand. "Well, I won't say I haven't acknowledged that we're mates. I just haven't accepted it yet and we're all willing to wait. You know, no rush," I shrugged, hoping she understood where I was coming from. I partly lied, the only and main reason I hadn't accepted them was because I was afraid of being hurt
Katherine pov "Do you ever wake up early?" I frowned at the voice that spoke."Leave me alone, it's still too early," I shuffled around my bed. I knew who the person was. Jade had been trying to wake me up for the past ten minutes but sleep was getting the best of me. Then the bed sheet that was cuddling my body close was pulled down from me and I whimpered as the cold atmosphere met my skin."Jade, will you please leave me alone?" I pouted, still refusing to open my eyes. I feared that if I did open it even for the slightest time, I was going to lose the sleep and nice dream I was having.I heard the curtains being dragged open but I didn't flinch until the brightness of the sun came in contact with my eyelids."Jade!" I finally opened my eyes to shoot him a glare but he just laughed at my attitude."You have exactly ten minutes to get yourself ready for breakfast since you’re part of the cooking crew today, else you'll be extremely late. I mean you're already late, but you'll be
Katherine Pov"Must I wake you up everyday?" Jade whispered to my ear. I was glad he whispered, imagine he yelled like he used to. That would have doubled whatever I was feeling. "Oh, it's morning already," I mumbled, putting the pillow over my head. "Yes and you need to get up," he urged me. "I will, I just need you to help me close that freaking window that is opened, it's so cold right now," I begged. Jade looked at me, turning his head to the side, to watch my moves. "Okay," he said slowly, then he walked down to the window and shut it closed. The wind stopped blowing right immediately, I muttered a thank you to him and he nodded, still watching me closely. Sniffing from the running nose I have had since last night, I walked down to the bathroom. I was nowhere near okay and it was not any better this morning. Jade had his suspicions but I could not afford to let him clarify it. He won't let me out of the house or room again. Turning on the steamer, I let the water steam
Jade PovJust after one hit, she passed out. I watched Katherine stagger backwards, holding her nose that was hit before landing on the ground.At first I thought it was an act, so I moved closer to her to raise her hand up, but it fell to the ground instead. That was when I began to panic.She was really unconscious. The thought of me killing my own mate crossed my mind and I shuddered. Lifting her up, I began to run to the pack hospital. The sun was already rising and people were already beginning to wake up. I rushed into the hospital and took her to an empty wardroom. "Someone give me some attention!" I boomed when I realised no one followed me into the ward. Soon two nurses rushed in, checking her up. "Sir you need to go–""I'm staying here," I demanded. I was the one in charge and she could not object as much as she wanted to. I watched them do their stuff and I could barely understand what they were doing. My ears focused on her heartbeat to make sure they were still pump
