Gunner
As much as I hate the thought of leaving my mate here I need to get some work done. It’s six in the morning and Kat is still asleep in my arms. I carefully remove myself from her and push my pillow into my spot. She grabs onto it and inhales deeply. Hopefully it’ll be a good substitute while I get some work done. I plan to return before she wakes but I leave a note just in case. I hope my absence doesn’t bring on another nightmare.
I get dressed and take another look at my beautiful mate before heading to my office. I can hear staff already in the kitchen preparing breakfast for all the warriors and other staff that work in the pack house. Typically once you find a mate they settle in a house and have breakfast together, but I ensure to still feed my warriors, especially those who worked the night shift.
“I’m surprised you left your room,” Hunter teases as he enters my office.
KaterinaWhen I wake for once I don’t panic that Gunner isn’t here. I can smell him all over his pillow which relaxes me. I read his note and smile. I would like to go find him but he must be busy since he has been gone for so long. I hope that it didn’t have a huge impact having their Alpha absent while saving me. I find that all my belongings have been placed in my room so I go through them and find something to wear. I’ll put it all away later, I want to see the rest of the pack house. When I walk out of my room I bump into Hunter.“Good morning Luna.”“Please Hunter, it’s just Kat.”“Not out here. Maybe in your office or room, but out here you are our Luna and should be respected as such.”“Oh, okay.”“Let me drop these papers off and I can take you to Gunner.”“No it’s okay. I am sure you are both busy. I’ll j
Gunner‘Gunner where are you!’‘I’m heading back, I’ll be right there.’‘No you need to head to the training grounds.’‘Why Hunter?’‘It’s Sarah.’That’s all he needs to say for me to kick it into high gear and sprint towards the training grounds. I swear if that bitch has harmed my mate I will banish her from this pack and make her go rogue. When I arrive I find Kat and Sarah are fighting each other in their human form and Kat is not winning. It’s too soon and she hasn’t trained since we rescued her, she is not strong enough yet.My blood boils as I see blood trickle down from her eyebrow as she takes blow after blow from Sarah. It’s obvious that Sarah challenged Kat for her position and I figured this would happen but not so soon. I still haven’t had a chance to tell Kat about h
KaterinaThough it hurts knowing Gunner slept with her even after meeting me, Allison is right. We need to have a conversation first, but I can’t let her win. A noise at the entrance of the green house catches our attention and we find Gunner standing there. Are those tears in his eyes?“I’ll leave you to it then,” says Allison as she walks towards the exit. “You fuck this up Gunner and I swear I will fry your ass.”I am shocked Allison said what she said and walked away unscathed. He just nods his head as she walks past him. I remain seated on a bench and we just stare at each other for what seems like an eternity, neither one of us willing to speak first.“Do you mind if I come in,” he asks finally breaking the silence.“This is your pack, you don’t require my permission.”GunnerI wince at h
Katerina I cannot believe the words that slipped past my mouth but I do not regret them one bit. I am in complete bliss at the marking was more euphoric than painful. I though I would be tired but I am the complete opposite. I felt this surge of energy through me as the bond strengthened now that we have completed the process. I cannot believe I am officially marked and mated. “We better hurry or my mother will not be pleased that I kept her waiting.” “Won’t she be upset with the both of us?” “I doubt it. She is gaining a daughter,” he chuckles as we finish the shower we intended to have. I cannot stop the plastered smile on my face as I wash my body but that quickly disappears as I catch Gunner watching me with a frown on his face. “What is wrong?” “I…are you…never mind.” “Oh come on it’s something. Tell me?” “Are
Merry Christmas!!! Enjoy an extra chapter this week!!GunnerThe evening has been full of laughter and embarrassing stories. Though it has made my mate smile and I want nothing more than to see her happy. Though she smiles I can tell something is off and after asking her I let it go until we are alone. I know she’ll tell me once she is ready.When we reach our room we both change into something more comfortable and slide into bed, both exhausted. I pull her back up against me and inhale her scent deeply.“Will you tell me what was bothering you?”“Your cousin makes me uncomfortable.”“Really? He hardly said a word a dinner.”“He didn’t have to. The looks he gave me reminded me of James.”Now I know why she didn’t want to tell me at the tab
KaterinaGunner has been busy playing catch up with pack duties along with Hunter. Allison has also been busy now that she has taken on the role of pack accountant. Gunner has assigned me a guard, which I find a bit annoying since he is following me literally everywhere I go. I still haven’t gotten over the title Luna and everyone bowing at me when I walk into a room. It’s definitely a role I need to get use to.Back in my father’s pack, even though I was the Alpha’s daughter, I still helped out around the house. I helped the kitchen staff cook and sometimes the maid’s clean but here the staff is adamant I don’t help at all which leaves me unsure of what I should do.“Luna is something troubling you,” my guard, Lucas asks.“Tell me more about the pack. What do you guys have here? I want to do something of
Katerina“How dare you attack our Luna,” Lucas growls in Jason’s face ready to tear his throat out.I am glad Lucas is one I can trust.“What is going on here? Kat are you okay,” Gunner asks as he takes in the scene and the four children clinging to me.Hunter and Dahlia are behind him and they looks around the house and are disgusted by what they see.“Jason what is going on here?”“Your mate is trying to shut me down and take those children from me. I am their guardian.”“Then tell me why you have abused them! As their guardian you should protect them not hurt them,” I yell at the man.“They are lying. I have never laid a finger on them.”I let out a growl as vines break from the ground and snake a
Gunner I didn’t hesitate to accept that my mate wanted to adopt these four children and raise them as our own. I didn’t even question it. Normally, as an Alpha, Apollo would be against the idea but he too agrees with our mate in taking on the responsibility of raising them as our own. Apollo agrees that we have failed these children. I cannot believe pups in my own pack have been neglected. Clearly we trusted the wrong person to care for them. I knew Jason growing up and he too was an orphan. Both parents died against an attack by the Dark Coven when we were like twelve. I figured he would be the best lycan I had for the job given he knew the struggles of being an orphan himself. I didn’t realize he had so much resentment against me for something I couldn’t control. I am just glad he hasn’t found his mate now that he can because I will have to banish him from the pack. I do not tolerate child abuse and he is lucky I don’t kill him. ‘Dinner is ready Alpha,’ al
