Katerina
As usual my parents told me nothing except that it is not safe for me to be leaving pack territory without my guards. I asked my father about wolves being able to mask their scent and he told me nothing, saying it was nothing I needed to worry about. I have a feeling it somehow involves witches and wizards.
“If you think any harder you are gonna get wrinkles and a headache,” teases Kai.
“Kai am I in any sort of danger?”
“We are part angel Kat, we’ll always be in danger.”
“That’s not an answer Kai. What do you know?”
“What I can tell you is that those who killed our maternal grandparents and hurt mom are after you too. You need to be more careful.”
“Who killed mom’s parents? Who hurt mom?”
“Dad ordered me not to say anything. I can’t Kat.”
“A coven is involved aren’t they?”
“I can’t say Kat.”
“That means I am right.”
Gunner “She knows we’ve been watching her sir.” “That’s not possible Hunter. Werewolves don’t connect to their wolf until they turn eighteen.” “I’ve been spying on several packs nearby. I learned Katerina has been connected to her wolf since she was like twelve. I think she can at least catch your scent, whatever that is to her.” I let out a small smile, happy to believe she knows her mate is nearby. Loving that my presence possibly calms her as hers calms me. Apollo is getting difficult to control and is demanding I meet her face to face. I worry though what this could do if we end up connecting the mate bond before she is of age. I know her father would not be happy with it, no Alpha would be. “Don’t worry. There is going to be a little bonfire party in a neutral zone between all the packs nearby. Invites have already been spreading and I am sure our Luna there will want to go.
KaterinaWhen we arrive at the mall, I head to the coffee shop first an order a blended snickers to sip on while I try and find something perfect for this party. Liam and Brandon follow me quietly, letting me take them through shop after shop. They don’t complain once as I try on outfit after outfit, not even about the ones I know they find absolutely inappropriate.“Perhaps we can help if we knew what you were looking for,” asks Brandon.Liam just laughs and I can’t help but laugh with him.“Dude, girls don’t even know what they are looking for until they find it.”“As much as I hate to admit it, he’s right,” I giggle.“That makes no sense. Then you’ll be shopping all day.”“That’s the point,” says Liam rolling his eyes.&
KaterinaFinally Friday arrives and I am super excited. Skye came up with the brilliant plan of having a sleep over at her place while Xander stays the night with Kyle. Kyle’s parents are drunks, he is nothing like his parents. He’ll be a great warrior someday despite his parents.“You ready,” asks Skye.“Yes.”I grab my bag and let her lead me down the stairs where aunt Natasha and uncle Jackson are waiting for me. Uncle Jackson is the beta of the pack and a force to be reckoned with and aunt Natasha is dad’s twin. I love when she visits because she always reminds dad that she was born a whole thirty seconds before him though rejected being Alpha. They won’t be easy to sneak away from, but it’ll definitely be easier than trying to sneak away from my parents.“Thank you for having me tonight.&
KaterinaJames gets closer and as I feel his fangs graze my skin as I let out a cry. I expect to feel the awful pain of his fangs piercing my skin, but quickly realize I feel nothing. I look up to find James being held up by his throat by another wolf. At least I think he is a wolf, but I don’t smell anything.“It’s against werewolf law to force a mark,” says the stranger in a low growl.“She has been begging for it,” he claims.“It didn’t seem that way to me. Do you want this wolf to claim you,” the stranger asks me and I can’t seem to find my voice so I shake my head no at him.“There, you have your answer. Now leave before I decide to kill you myself.”The stranger tosses James like a rag doll. James hits a nearby tree before taking off back towards the party with his tail between his legs. The stranger lo
Gunner“Get home safely Katerina. Promise me?”“Uh…I promise.”I can’t help but brush my fingers along her cheek before kissing the top of her head. Apollo is howling, begging me to stay by her side. “I’ll see you again. I promise.”With that I dart into the forest and hide among the bushes until I see her leave with her friend. Apollo is frustrated that we could not take her home with us. He has connected with her wolf and has confirmed Katerina is our mate, but her wolf can’t tell Katerina that. Something about being bound by the moon goddess and needing to learn it for herself. I am beyond irritated that I can’t tell her, but at the same time if she doesn’t recognize the mate bond then she may not believe me and being that I am a lycan, the Alpha lycan at that, I am sure she wouldn’t believe me. A part of me wants to go check on her as I can feel her sadness. Another part of me wants to hunt down this James wolf and kill him. He seems to have targeted what is mine and I can’t all
GunnerI finally have some down time and head to the hospital like I do every Friday. I enter through the doors and the smell of bleach hits me. I’ve walked these halls so many times I could find the room I seek with my eyes closed.“Good afternoon Alpha,” says Joy, my father’s doctor.“Good afternoon. Any changes?”“I’m sorry, no.”Joy leaves me and my father. The annoying beeping sound is the only thing letting us know my father is still alive. I change out the flowers on his night stand and begin his exercise routine. The staff do their jobs well ensuring at least twice a day my father gets some exercise in. I’ll need to make sure to give out bonuses soon.“I wish you were awake father. There is so much I could use your advice on.”I go on to tell him
Gunner“Well it would appear that Katerina’s mother, Ahsoka, is the first nephilim to appear in centuries and Katerina is the first tribrid in history to be born. The nephilim are typically hunted for their powers and according to history were used as slaves, especially the ones that had healing abilities.”“What kind of healing abilities?”“From what I found, many nephilim died healing their masters from the brink of death. They take on that injury and sometimes they couldn’t heal themselves.”“Do we know if Katerina has this ability?”“No, I know nothing of what powers she has. I was only able to find the history of the nephilim and learn about her mother’s history.”“What’s got you so pissed,” I reply.Hunter’s tone indicated what he found he did not like and I can tell when he wants to go kill someone for hurting a s
Gunner‘Alpha, the vampire leader is here,’ mind links the gate guards.‘Let her through.’“Hunter, Adelaide is here.”“Great, let the drama unfold,” he says sarcastically as he sets his pen down and follows me to the foyer.I open the door as Adelaide’s car pulls up and she steps out with a man and a teenage girl.“Adelaide, it’s good to see you.”“It’s been awhile Gunner. I expected your call a whole lot sooner.”“I’m sorry. I am glad you spoke your mind. I didn’t take a chosen mate.”“No you just chose to screw around with a she-wolf from your pack. I hope your mate is understanding.”“Adelaide…”“Just tell me what it is you want.”“I found my mate.”She raises an eyebrow and
