Kai
We 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
KaterinaI can’t believe it is only a week away. I have been waiting for this day to arrive. This week is full of planning and shopping with Skye and my mother. This will be the most my mother and I have spent together. All my life all she has been focused on is being the Luna of our pack. I feel like her upbringing took our chance at having a mother.It’s been nice and quiet these last few weeks. There have been no attacks along our borders and no issues from Dark Forest either. There have been a few run ins with that jerk, James, but he hasn’t done or said anything to me. Gunner made me promise to tell him should James make another move. I have never seen Gunner so angry when we talked about the night I was attacked. I hear a knock at my door before Skye come bursting in and flings herself onto my bed. “Come on sleepy head, we have some serious shopping to do.”I can’t help but giggle as I stretch before making my way to my bathroom. When I emerge from my shower I find that Skye h
