Katherine pov Her eyes were piercing, as if she saw through me at first sight. The smirk and amusement that grew on her expression was known to just me and I believed I was not imagining it. She knew everything. "Yes, I know everything," she muttered."Leave!" I yelled out, knowing the boys still stood around to listen to what Dorcas and I had to say. "I'm talking to the both of you."I listened carefully as their footsteps receded into the distance. "Don't worry. They wouldn't even hear the right things we say unless I let them," Dorcas shrugged. I narrowed my gaze at her, wondering if I would consider her a friend or a foe. "Katherine, that's a lot of backstory. We could write a novel and make a hit," she joked, picking a flower pot and playing around with it.Dorcas's eyes traced my every detail, and unease crept through me like a shadow in the dimly lit wardroom. "How do you know so much about me with just a g?" I questioned, my gaze fixated on her.A cryptic smile played on
Katherine pov “What the hell is wrong with me?” I asked rhetorically. “Are you sure you are alright?” Jude asked again. “What, no. I can’t feel my legs. Why can’t I feel my legs?!” I panicked. Oh shit I could not move them. “What the hell is this?!” I screamed at him, not caring if I caused unnecessary attention or not. “Calm down Katherine,” he said to me. “Grey go and call Dorcas, she’s in the library. Sonia get Mr Jones, he’s in the hospital. Tell them to meet us in my room. Now.”They both nodded and sped right past us after Jude ordered. He held me by my waist and lifted me up bridal style, walking to my room.When we reached the room, he placed me gently on the bed. Brushing my hair to the side, he whispered soothing words to me. “Why can’t I feel my legs?” I asked for the umpteenth time. “Will I be able to walk again?”“Shh, that is how it is. Your body is trying to adjust to the illness. With the help of a witch and a doctor, you will be alright,” he placed a kiss on my
Katherine pov“Oh no,” I gasped. The name Casto brought shivers down my spine immediately. If Talia’s mom finds out about me and spills it to Casto’s wife, everything I’ve tried to protect will crumble. Casto, my nemesis, will have ammunition to destroy me. I can’t afford that. Talia says she’ll beg her dad, but can I really trust that? The stakes are too high. I need to find a way to prevent this revelation, or my carefully constructed world will unravel before my eyes.“Don’t worry, I’ll tell dad not to spill anything to her. We all know she is a blabber mouth. Dad will listen to me,” Talia shrugged. “You believe he won’t tell her?” “I mean there has to be a good reason for you to do this and we’re faithful to you and your family. So yes, dad will listen to me. If he doesn’t, I have this potion I took from the shelf down the hallway. It makes you forget what happened a few hours ago.”“Did you steal from Dorcas?” I asked with wide eyes. “Borrowed.” She corrected me. “So can we
Katherine pov "Katherine no!" Dorcas rushed in and slapped the tea away from my hand.I watched the tea pour down to the ground and the cup shattered into bits. “Hey, what gives?!” I yelled at her. “Luna spent money and time on that!”“I’m sorry but you cannot drink that tea, Jude told me you were going to make it and I had to stop you,” she gasped out like she had just ran a hundred miles. Why not?” I frowned at her as she tried to catch her breath. “It worked for other patients doesn’t mean it’ll work for you. You’re cursed, not ill. That tea would only make it worse,” she explained, rolling her eyes. “I came across a spell book in the library. If the curse is transferred than vervain may just not work, instead it will add more issues to what you already have,” she said. “That is ridiculous,” I laughed, shaking my head at what she was saying as a means of disapproval. “You have to trust me in this one. The only drugs you are allowed to take are the ones we prescribe to you. I
Katherine Pov"You have got to be kidding me," I looked at Dorcas with a shake of my head. "What?" Dorcas asked, looking at me clueless. "You brought me here, to the workshop. Making me think that you have found a solution to my curse only for me to find out that you were talking about using my vervain for your own potions?!" I screeched angrily. "Oh, you thought it was for your curse?" Dorcas' eyes widened in surprise. "Yes! That is the entire reason why you are here, to help me find a substitute for my curse!" I replied, face palming myself. "You have a curse?" Sean's brow raised up high to his forehead. I forgot he was with us all along. "Um...""Yes, she risked her life to save a friend only to get infected with whatever curse the wolf was carrying," Dorcas explained mindlessly to him. "Dude!" I yelled at her. "What, he's your pack mate and you two act like you are brothers and sister," she shrugged. "He is my pack member I know, but does not mean I want anyone to know!"
Katherine Pov"Katherine, you will not believe what Sean and I found!"Dorcas barged in on me again with the loudest shriek she could offer.The people around heard her scream and they looked at her weirdly. Sean was right behind Dorcas and they had the brighter smile on their faces. "Sean is involved in this?!" I glared daggers at both of them, releasing myself from Jade's hold around me and coming off the table. "Yes, I saw how hurt he was and I took his advice about looking at things from another perspective and you are going to love what we found out about. He was of good help,""Dorcas! Can you please stop making decisions when you know I would react wrongly to it?!" I yelled at her. "Katherine but–""No buts, you're being too forward," I corrected. "Oh forgive me that I am trying to help," she scoffed, getting upset too. "You are here to help, not Sean!" I remained angry and Jade and Sean watched how Dorcas and I yelled at ourselves. "Well, if not for him we would have nev
Jude PovI was determined to create a bond of my own with Katherine, Jade had done his part and convinced her to feel something for him. If we really were mated, I had a shot at it too. I wasn’t naive, it was more of jealousy. But I had nothing to worry about because we all were mated to one another. My plan was to talk about it with her, she was also mine so the attention shouldn’t have to be divided. Briskly, I walked down the hallway, already having her scent lingering in my head. Her room was close and all I wanted was to talk to her and make her understand things everyone does for their loved ones. The door to her room wasn’t closed, it was slightly opened ajar and at first it didn’t occur to me to knock, but when it finally did, it was already too late because my subconsciousness had taken over and had opened the door. And very much surprisingly, I met my mates right there. “What the hell guys!” I snapped, closing the door behind me so no one else saw them in that position.
Katherine pov The sun was out early, and it pierced through the window to meet my face. Twitching my eyes, I smiled and shuffled around the bed. My leg hit something hard beside me and it groaned. "Go back to sleep,"Jade muttered, holding me closer to himself. "It's morning already," I chuckled, turning to face him. We were both tangled under the sheets, bare naked. Memories of the previous night flashed through my hair and I smiled more. He had the cutest morning face, I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed a kiss on his lips. He kissed back, grabbing my ass and holding on to it tight. "Want to continue from where we stopped?" Jade muttered between the kisses. "Hmm, maybe," I giggled, wrapping my legs around his torso, in the process allowing his hardness to rub on my pussy. "Yes."I agreed, wanting another round of what went on last night. "Come here," he said, pulling me to sit on top of him. The sheets fell off our body and we both acted like we had seen ourselves l
