Katerina
The vision begins to fade away like smoke in the wind and I am plunged back into darkness. Panic sets in as I wonder what it was I just saw. Whatever it was I was of age and found my mate. That warmth is getting stronger and I can hear voices.
“How is she?”
“She is getting stronger.”
I listen closely trying to figure out whose voices these are.
“Kai is this place spell protected?”
“Yes.”
“Well whoever this Tristan is he is more powerful than you.”
He is more powerful than my brother? And from my vision he must be more powerful than my mother, but I don’t see how that is possible. She is half angel.
“Over my dead body. He will not have her! I will call Gibson to reinforce my spell. I’ll give you an hour before he gets here.”
“I will leave if that means pro
KaiWe continue to follow Katerina as I see from behind my father and I being dragged to who knows where. I can see Katerina’s anger grow as we arrive back at the back house where Katerina is led to the Alpha’s chambers where a badly beaten young man is tied to a sliver chair with silver chains and what looks like a drip with what is probably wolfsbane. I realize that this is Gunner, Katerina’s mate.As soon as Katerina lays eyes on him I can see anger get out of control as trees, vines and other plants begin to grow up from the ground, destroying the house.“I would stop little girl before I kill him.”I see a ball of magic in the man’s hand and I realize he is a warlock. However, it isn’t enough to get her to calm down as rocks begin to spin around the room, hitting the warlock. Her powers continue to spin out of control as she walks towards Gunner, pulling the IV
Katerina“Katerina, I saw what you did. It doesn’t mean it’s going to come true…”“You don’t know that! I can’t lose everyone.”“Yeah and I can’t let you die.”“Someone needs to tell me what is going on,” says Gunner as we hear footsteps heading this way.“Gunner, Hunter, you need to leave now,” says Kai as he ushers them out the window and they jump the balcony just as my parents walk in.“Thank the goddess Katerina,” says father as he embraces me with tears in his eyes.“You’re okay,” I reply back as tears of my own fall.“It seems you are just like your mother. Please do not risk yourself for my sake. Parents are not meant to outlive their children.”“I’m sorry, I didn&rsqu
Gunner“Allison,” whispers Hunter.“Hunter I know you wish to learn more about your mate but time is not on our side.”“Sorry Alpha.”“What do you need Gunner?”“My mate was taken. Can you help me find her?”“I need something of hers.”“I don’t have anything.”“Can you use me? We are blood related,” asks Kai.“Yes I can. Come inside.”We follow Allison into her house and settle around her table that has a map laying on it.“Give me your hand,” she says to Kai.Kai doesn’t hesitate or flinch as she cuts his hand and blood drips down onto the map. Allison takes his hand in hers, making Hunter growl but he immediately stops when Allison glares at him. She begins c
Gunner“It would seem we are evenly matched. Let’s see if you can get to her before she dies.”“Dies!? What have you done to her?! Who the fuck are you?”“The name is Tristan and all I’ve done is drain her of her blood. It’s her blood I need, nothing more. You two can die here together,” he says as he sends a spell my way but I easily dodge it.“It is you who will die here tonight!”I manage to leave a large gash across his chest and he stumbles back in surprise as he attempts to strike me with a spell but he misses. I swipe at him again and leave another deep gash on his inner thigh. Before I can strike again he quickly portals away as well as his minions who follow him.I don’t stop to question his cowardice and follow the scent of blood. It leads me to the basement where
Leon“You’re stupid plan failed. Now it’s my turn,” I growl out at Tristan.“Shut up,” he says as he winces from the wounds inflicted by Alpha Gunner.“You weren’t suppose to kill the girl! She belongs to me.”“I only need her blood. Dead or alive doesn’t matter to me,” Tristan says in an annoyed tone.“If all you were ever gonna do is kill her why did we team up at all?”Tristan grabs me by the throat and has a ball of fire in his hands.“Don’t forget wolf that I am stronger than you. My father and brother were stupid. I will do things my way. get in the way and I will kill you myself.”This is not going well at all. I need to figure out how to keep Katerina safe from this freak.GunnerIt has been agony since we rescued Katerina and I haven’t been able to see her.
KaterinaEver since I woke up I’ve been doing anything to get my strength back. Father wants me to train with the warriors once I’m fully healed so Xander has been doing some light training with me. Mother has been extra doting lately and father hasn’t spoken to me yet. Later today he wants to brief with me on what happened while I was away.“How are you feeling today darling,” asks my mother as she walks into my room.“I’m fine mom.”“Your father would like to brief with you after lunch. Only if you are up to it though. I don’t want you pushing yourself too far.”“It’s fine mom. I can do it,” I reply as I emerge from my closet with my workout clothes on.“I really wish you would rest some more before training.”“It’s
KaterinaI follow Kai to father’s office. He has stacks of papers all over his desks and several books open. He normally isn’t so unorganized and messy. I have never seen his office look like this.“Father?”“Come in Kat, Kai.”We both sit and wait for him to speak. It’s an awkward silence and I look over at Kai who just shrugs his shoulders. Father suddenly gets up from his desk and walks over to me. He pulls me up from out of my chair and hugs me. I hug him back as a tear falls, all the stress from recent events catching up to me.“My sweet girl. I’m so sorry.”“I’m okay daddy.”He cups my face and places a kiss on my fore head before leaning against his desk.“Are you up for telling me what happene
GunnerI have to admit, Apollo and I were extremely jealous when Kat slammed into Kai rather than us, but I had to remind him he is her brother and if it weren’t for him we wouldn’t be able to see him right now. Kai let’s out a chuckle as he releases her from their embrace.“You’re welcome sis. You have until dinner. You know mother expects us both there.”Kat nods her head as Kai disappears, leaving us alone.“Hello beautiful. I am so happy to see you awake. You are feeling better?”“Yes. I was very drained the first few days, but I”m better now. Even training a bit.”I hold my breath as she walks over to me and places her hand in mine. I can feel light sparks, but not as strong as I’ve heard. It must be because she is not of age yet.“I thought it would be more intense,” she says, voicing
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’
