Nathaniel wolf immediately retreated giving back control to Nathaniel, Emilia stared at them in disbelief, Katherine swallowed nervously before pushing the Alpha off her.
“You couldn't even wait a little for pouncing yourself on the alpha” Emilia snarled in anger before slamming the door and leaving angrily. Katherine’s mouth widened in confusion, the alpha was clearly on top of her not the other way round. Nathaniel's expression twisted in disgust as he regained control. He couldn't fathom why his wolf would deign to mate with a common Omega. "Get out!" he growled, shoving a bewildered Katherine out the door with a harsh push. He slammed the door shut and slumped onto his bed, berating himself for his behavior. Katherine stood before the locked door, perplexed. No one had told her where to sleep for the night. She descended the stairs to find the petite girl who had informed her of the alpha's summons. "Hey, sorry to bother you, but I don't know where to sleep or anything," Katherine said nervously, scratching her head. The girl blinked in confusion before offering a warm smile. "Okay, sure, follow me." Lena led Katherine to another part of the house, her abrupt responses and continued walking indicating that she wasn't one for small talk. Katherine nodded and trailed behind, taking the cue to remain silent. Soon, they stood before a door, and Lena gestured for Katherine to enter. "You can sleep here tonight," she said, her voice softening slightly. As Lena left, Katherine pushed open the creaky door to reveal a room that was far from welcoming. The space was cluttered, with clothes scattered across the floor and dust coating every surface. The bed, with its stained and torn sheets, looked like a breeding ground for bed bugs. Katherine's skin crawled at the thought of sleeping there. Instead, she spotted a worn-out couch in the corner, which seemed relatively safe from the creepy-crawlies. She decided to make do with it for the night, hoping that tomorrow would bring better accommodations. As she lay down on the couch, Katherine couldn't help but think about how drastically her life had changed in just one night. She had only wished for a mate to love her, not a mate who could barely stand her. A mate who kicked her out harshly, without even a second thought. And to make matters worse, that mate was her sister's fiancé, and they were all still part of the same pack. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep with that thought in her head, her mind racing with questions and doubts. How was she going to survive this? How was she going to navigate this treacherous new dynamic? As she slept, her dreams were filled with images of Nathaniel's scornful face, her sister's tears, and the pack's judgmental stares. ***The next day*** “Is she still sleeping?” A voice shirked in annoyance as she burst the door open. “Give me that” The woman said to Lena, the servant girl, she collected the bucket of cold water from her and she poured the water on Katherine who jumped in fear. The cold water poured on Katherine who was still sleeping on the couch, the coldness of the water jumpscared Katherine from her sleep. “Ahhhh” she screamed as she glared at her culprit. The Alpha's mother smirked at Katherine as she passed the bucket to Lena, Lena stared at the ground as Katherine glared at them both. “What the fuck was that for!” Katherine screamed in rage, her whole body was soaking wet as her make-up smeared allover her face. She unfortunately didn't bathe last night that means sleeping in her makeup and clothes. The Alpha's mother, Carolina, burst out laughing hysterically. "The sl*t doesn't know her place. I am Carolina Hawthorne, still the Luna of this pack!" She snarled dangerously, slamming the already broken door harshly as she left the room, Lena trailing behind. Katherine swallowed hard, trying to control her temper. She might be an Omega, but she wasn't a servant to be treated like this. She angrily left the room, determined to find Carolina and give her a piece of her mind. Her soaked clothes wet the tiles, creating a nasty line as she walked. Katherine glanced around, seeing pack mates giving her nasty glares. She ignored them, heading upstairs to the Alpha's side of the lodge, hoping to find Carolina there. But instead, she ran into Nathaniel, who growled in anger, "Why the fuck are you wet and creating a mess in this house?" Katherine ignored his questions, glaring at him. She had no idea the Alpha would be cruel enough to instruct his mother to humiliate her like this. "Jeez, you stink," Nathaniel said, wrinkling his nose. Werewolves had very sensitive noses, and Katherine knew she definitely smelled, especially since she hadn't had a shower yet. The Alpha sighed and hurried downstairs to go on patrol, leaving Katherine frustrated and alone. She couldn't find Carolina, and she desperately wanted to go home. But she was scared of her parents' reaction, especially Emilia's. Katherine decided to take a chance, hoping her parents wouldn't be too harsh. She turned around and headed for the gate, thankful her house was within walking distance. She walked heavily, panting, as people stared at her weirdly. Well, it wasn't every day you saw a soaked person walking on the road, so she definitely understood their stares and confusion. But she didn't care. She had more pressing concerns, like getting out of those wet clothes and finding some solace in her family's home. Katherine reached her family's house, a cozy little place that wasn't anything too fancy like the Alpha's mansion, but it was hers. She lifted the flower pot close to the door, where her family always kept the house key. She found it and unlocked the door, relieved to find nobody home. It was quite usual, but she was thankful for the solitude. She quickly ran back to her room, and it was still like she had left it yesterday morning - her bed unmade, her clothes scattered about, and her favorite book lying open on her nightstand. It was a comforting sight, a reminder of her old life before everything changed. Katherine sighed, feeling a mix of emotions: sadness, anger, and a hint of hope. She knew she couldn't stay here forever, but for now, it was home. And she was determined to make the best of it. Katherine dropped her wet clothes on the floor and headed straight for the bathroom, eager to wash away the chill and the memories of the past few hours. She turned the faucet, and warm water began to flow, filling the tub. She sank in, letting out a deep sigh as the warmth enveloped her. The water was like a gentle embrace, soothing her muscles and calming her mind. She closed her eyes, feeling the tension melt away with each passing moment. As she stood under the showerhead, the water cascaded down her hair, washing away the dirt and the tears. She let her head fall back, allowing the water to massage her scalp, and a sense of relief washed over her. The warmth seeped into her bones, chasing away the chill that had settled deep within her. She felt her breathing slow, her heart rate calm, and her thoughts clear. After what felt like an eternity, she emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, feeling like a new person. But as she stepped into the hallway, she could hear someone crying upstairs. The sobs were muffled, but unmistakable. Katherine's heart skipped a beat as she recognized the sound. It was her sister, Emily. With a sense of trepidation, Katherine climbed the stairs, her mind racing with questions. What was Emily crying about? Katherine's heart went out to her sister, and she quickened her pace, eager to offer comfort and support in whatever way she could.Katherine's arms encircled Emilia's trembling body, holding her close as she whispered words of comfort. But instead of reciprocating the embrace, Emilia suddenly pushed Katherine away, her eyes blazing with anger."Get out, Katherine!" Emilia's voice was hoarse from crying, but it was laced with a venom that made Katherine's heart race. "Just leave me alone!"Katherine's face fell, her eyes wide with shock. She had never seen Emilia like this before. "Emily, please—" she started, but Emilia cut her off."No, Katherine! Just get out!" Emilia's voice rose to a shout, and she stood up, her fists clenched at her sides.Katherine felt a sting from the rejection, but she didn't want to make things worse. "Okay, Emilia. I will leave just..” she tried to reason before a growl caught her off.“Get out!” Emilia’s wolf snarled dangerously as she barged her teeth at Katherine. Katherine swallowed as she hurried downstairs, it might seem like a dick move to others, but Katherine knew that she cou
“Nana, plewase I am sared” little Naomi called on to her big brother Nathaniel, she was two so her words were barely audible. Nathaniel ran and pick her up from the cold cemented floor. Nathaniel's mother had locked them in the dungeon because of Naomi's constant tears.“It's okay, I will protect you” Nathaniel promised her as he cuddled her to his chest. He promised himself that no harm shall come to her, Naomi was his baby sister.Nathaniel jumped up from his sleep, he was hyperventilating as he scattered the cupboard for his anxiety drugs. His hands were shaking as hot tears ran down his eyes, he failed her, he failed Naomi. That was his last thought before he collapsed on the floor.Kilo was going to his cousin's room, after countless knocking Nathaniel wasn't responding, Kilo was scared to go in because the last time he entered Nathaniel’s room without his permission, the alpha almost killed him. But kilo would take the chance, as he pushed the door slowly he saw the alpha on th
“You worthless piece of shit” my mom screamed in anger as she picked up a bottle and smashed it on my dad's head. They were having their usual fights, I held my baby sister close to me as i hid under the table scared to face their wrath.“You're the worst mate ever to exist” my dad snarled at my mom as he retaliated and pushed her to the ground. He staggered his drunken self towards me and Naomi and dragged me harshly from under the table. “No..no.” I pleaded as he hit me again and again and again, Naomi was on the floor crying. My whole body shivered in fear as my mother ran to the kitchen to bring out a knife. She smirked as she held Naomi's tiny neck..“I will show you how much I hate you Jones” she spat at my dad. My eyes widened at the implications of her words as Naomi cried out for me.“Hit me, hit me please leave her alone” I bargained as blood oozed out from my head, “leave her..leave her alone!” I screamed desperately as my body shook frivolously.I jumped up from my nightm
Katherine POVIt's been days since I saw the alpha, I can confidently say that he's been avoiding me like a plague in the clinic incident. I knew that we weren't friends or anything but before at least I usually see him. I sighed deeply drawing Emilia’s attention to me, Emilia came to the pack house for training so she decided to come see me.“What's the problem?” Emilia asked in concern but I only gave her a fake smile, I couldn't tell her that I was thinking about her fiance, who is still my mate.“It's nothing” I shrugged off, Emilia looked skeptical but nodded in understanding. Emilia and I decided to stroll into the pack dining Hall, there was always free food given to all pack members. We went into the hall and immediately there was silence, instantly I knew they were gossiping about me because of their harsh glares. “I am not hungry, I will wait here for you” I told Emilia as I pulled a chair and sat close to the entrance door. Emilia nodded in understanding, she always knew
Nathaniel PovI had been avoiding my omega like a plague since the clinic incident. I hated showing weakness, and it was even worse when it was that damn omega. But recently, my wolf had been getting frustrated from not seeing his mate, and I couldn't concentrate on anything.My secretary's voice broke through my thoughts. "Mr. Hawthorne," she said, and I realized I had been so lost in thought that I hadn't even heard her call my name. "You have a meeting tonight," she reminded me. I nodded, but I knew I couldn't attend. My teeth were growing longer, and my claws were elongating. I told my secretary to cancel the meeting and rushed to my car, needing to get home.It took me 30 minutes to arrive at the pack house, and I immediately ran to my room, transforming into a huge black wolf with white stripes as I went. I used my claws to climb onto the bed and relaxed, feeling a sense of relief wash over me.Just as I was starting to calm down, I heard a knock at the door. I wondered who it w
Katherine POVThe alpha's idea of being civil was to ignore me, which suited me just fine. I grumbled to myself as I glared at the math teacher, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of my mate. It felt strange to refer to the alpha as my mate - this mate bond was utterly confusing."Miss Thompson, what is the answer?" Mr. Nitin, my math teacher, asked, snapping me out of my reverie. I hadn't been paying attention, but my wolf hearing had picked up the whispers of my classmates, so I blurted out the answer: "5 or -4, using the quadratic formula." Mr. Nitin's eyes widened in surprise before he smiled and confirmed my answer was correct. I knew why he was shocked - I usually got Ds or Fs in math. But today, I had relied on my wolf hearing to get the right answer.The rest of the class passed without incident, and I was relieved when it finally ended. As I walked out of the school building, I saw my mom and Emilia waiting for me outside.They weren't looking hostile but rather calm, it was q
Flashback;“Help us please '' little Nathaniel held his three years old sister in his hand as he begged Elder Walker. Elder Walker was his father's best friend and one of the pack leaders who usually came to visit his parents.Elder Walker pushed Nathaniel's little hands from his robe slapping him hard, his eyes shone red in fury. “Don't you touch my robe, you stinky boy! You deserve all the pain, you weakling” Elder Walker screamed in anger as he pushed Nathaniel to the ground. “Nana..na.Nate!” Naomi screamed as she hugged her big brother, shading him from Elder Walker's fury. The elder laughed hysterically before dragging a screaming Nate to his parents. They had managed to hide in the Elder's truck, but Elder Walker was able to perceive their scent, so he caught them. Naomi screamed running away her big brother, elder Walker dragged Nathaniel on the floor, all the bushes wounded his body.Nathaniel screamed as the Elder called his mother from inside, Nathaniel's parents laughed
For days, the pack had been on edge, tense with fear and anxiety. The gruesome murder of Elder Walker had sparked a rampage of rogue killings by the Alpha, Nathaniel. The pack members lived in terror of his unpredictable outbursts, and no one dared to confront him."Dad, please talk to Nathaniel," Kilo begged his father, Tristian. "The pack mates are scared. They're living in fear of their lives." Kilo's voice trembled with emotion, reflecting the panic that gripped the pack.Tristian sighed, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "I'll try to talk to him, son, but you know how stubborn Nathaniel can be." He hesitated, his eyes clouding with concern. Deep down he knew that the rogue Nathaniel killed was connected with the sudden change, but he didn't have any evidence.“Don't just try, do something because I don't want the safety of our pack at stake because Nathaniel can't control his urge to kill”. Kilo groaned in frustration, it was no news that Nathaniel was temperamental and he hat
