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
KaterinaThe wind is gently blowing on this beautiful sunny day. Spring is in full bloom as the flowers all around us blossom and the birds sing. My heart is full as I rock my son, Ezra, in my arms while watching Gunner play with our children.Three years have past since my life changed drastically. I ended up mated to a lycan and brought peace between the packs. Lycans are no longer feared and outcasted. Some have even moved into wolf packs after finding their mates. The curse is lifted and those who have wished to bring me harm are gone. My children are safe.I can’t help but laugh as the children chase Gunner and tackle him to the ground, being careful to not harm little Keileigh since she is only three. I can’t believe Savannah is now seven and the twins are eleven. Time has gone quickly and I wish it would slow down a bit.&ldqu
GunnerKaterina is in trouble I can feel it, but she said Tristan has our daughter and I need to see for myself if this is true or not. Adelaide’s nephew, Yosif, is mated to a very powerful warlock and was able to sense the dark magic Tristan had used. Tristan had killed a poor seventeen year old warlock to prepare the body for himself to use. I want to make his death a slow painful one, but at the same time I just want him gone from our lives to give Katerina the peace she deserves after all she had been through.‘Kai I need you to get me to your parents pack now!’I am glad I have gained Kai’s trust over the years. He does what I ask, no questions asked, and creates a portal for me. I step through the glowing oval and appear in his parents pack house.“Gunner where is Katerina? What is wrong?”“No time for questions Alpha Nicolai, where is Keileigh?”“She’s right her
KaterinaI really hope this plan of Gunner’s works. I don’t know what Adelaide said him, but it worked. He finally came up with a plan with his siblings and we’ve spent the last three weeks going every detail. Gunner has been making us go over it nonstop to ensure we all know what we are suppose to be doing. I just hope all goes well and we can end this once and for all. To ensure the safety of the triplets and Savannah we sent them to my parents.Keileigh was sent to an unknown location that Gunner and I don’t even know about. We entrusted her safety to Adelaide. It’s been killing me not knowing where she is at and not being able to hold her. I miss all my children. With them all gone I feel so empty.“Kat?”“Uh? I’m sorry Gunner.”“Don’t be sorry. I know you are hurting with them all gone.”“I j
KaterinaI slowly open my eyes but remain in bed, not wanting to face reality. My mind is still replaying everything that I had learned. Tristan is alive. How I do not know, but he is. A knock at the door brings me out of my thoughts. Gunner walks in with Keileigh in his arms making me immediately smile and sit up.“She’s working hard,” I tease as he hands her to me.“She’s keeping me in line,” he chuckles back.Keileigh begins fussing a little and my breasts are killing me so I cradle her close to feed her.“How did he do it?”“According to Allison, he used black magic to basically take over another person’s body upon his death. And he can keep doing this unless we stop him.”“How do we do that?”“Allison will need to basically get into his mind to
KaterinaOnce Dr. Joy and Kai cleared Keileigh and I home. Lucas informed me the kids decorated the house for a little surprise party to welcome Keileigh home. It warms my heart how much love this child has in her life.“Lucas where is Gunner?”I can tell he has been hiding something from me, especially since Gunner is not here to take us home. I can’t imagine what is more important right now.“Luna…he..”“Don’t even try to lie. What is going on?”“The pup, Taylor. He wasn’t a wolf at all.”“Okay, so what is he?”“According to Kai and Allison, it’s Tristan.”“That’s not possible. He’s dead.”“I know.”“But…he..oh goddess Helen! Where is Helen? The young guard th
GunnerI struggle to control Apollo upon hearing that fucking Tristan is alive. How that is possible and appearing as a kid I don’t know. Allison and Kai have been pouring through all the books she has collected through the years, some even about dark magic. Allison said she thought about destroying the books many times, but felt they could be of use one day. I’m glad she has them.“Lucas you are to remain by Katerina and Keileigh’s side. Tristan is sure to come for one or both of them.”“Tristan? Isn’t that warlock dead?”“Apparently not, though it appears he is in the form of that kid so be careful. We don’t know what other tricks he has up his sleeve.”“Yes Alpha.”“Hunter, gather your best warriors. We need to find the son of a bitch.”“I’m coming with you,” says Dahlia.
Katerina“Taylor, this is Helen.”Taylor takes in Helen, but shows no emotion.“Hello Taylor. My name is Helen and I hear you have had quite a traumatic experience. I would like to help you if you’d let me. Would you like to go for a walk with me?”Taylor looks at me and I nod my head at him. He gets up and follows Helen outside with the assigned warrior. Helen places her hand on his back as she leads him outside and I worry her gifts won’t work. Taylor is looking back at me and is not saying one word to her which I’ve never seen happen.“You really think she can help him?”“Yes, she has a special gift,” I reply though I am for once unsure.I head back inside as Helen and Taylor disappear from view and head upstairs. I take a few steps and I suddenly get a sta
KaterinaThe next morning I find staff cleaning up from last night’s party. Gunner and Hunter are already busy with daily duties and though I have my own Luna duties, Jolene took over so I could rest. Everyone is sure I’ll go into labor any day now. I head to the kitchen to grab some fruit when I hear the staff gossiping.“Did you hear about the pup border patrol locked up last night? Some rogue.”“Really? A pup? I wonder what he did?”“I don’t know, but the Alpha must believe he is a danger if he is locked up in the cells.”Anger immediately grips me at the thought of a poor pup being locked in the cells all night. I quickly get changed in another maxi dress that Jolene got me and I head straight for the cells.“Luna what are you doing,” asks Lucas as he walks up behind me.“Why in the world is a pup
KaterinaWatching the boys try to change a diaper properly and quickly is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Poor Gunner obviously has no idea what he is doing and surprisingly Kai is done first. I look at him with a raised eyebrow and I see him chuckle.‘I helped change you when you were a baby sis. I’m a pro at this point.’‘You’ll have to teach Gunner a thing or two then,’ I giggle back through the link.Once the games have concluded, Dahlia announces it’s time for the gender reveal. Dahlia wanted to do something big, but got overruled by me. I wanted something simple so we went with cutting the cake. Though Gunner and I know, the rest of our family and friends do not know. Gunner takes his hand in mine and together we cut a slice of the cake to reveal pink inside. Everyone cheers and come up one at a time to congratulate us. My mother and Gunner’
