Katerina
Ever 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
Gunner Anger coursed through me when she said she’s felt like someone was watching her. I immediately jog over to the forest line with Hunter, but when we reached the trees there was no one in sight nor was there any scent. “Gunner,” says Hunter to get my attention. I look over in the direction he is staring to find that old man talking to Kat. I have looked into the old man but nothing out of the ordinary stands out but my gut is telling me to not trust him. He wants to be too close to my mate and I don’t like it. “Who was that you were talking to,” I immediately ask and regret my tone instantly. The look she gives me makes me want to apologize immediately to the old man. “That was Leon. The old man I was telling you about. I know you guys don’t trust him, but I don’ smell anything but human when he is around.” “As much as the old man creeps me out she’s right. He just seems like an normal human,” says Skye. I slightly relax and see her calm when I do. “Don’t worry about
KaterinaThere is a light knock on my door and in walks my parents and brother with a cupcake and lit candle.“Happy birthday darling,” says mom.“Happy birthday sweetheart,” says dad. Kai twirls his finger and whispers some incantation and suddenly confetti rains down in my room from nowhere. “Happy birthday sis.”“Thanks guys,” I reply as I blow out the candle on the cupcake. Irena rests just on the surface and I can see my parents smile at her.“So I hear you’ve been with our daughter for quite some time Irena,” says my mother with a teasing look on her face. I allow Irena to push through so she can speak to my parents.“Yes, the moon goddess believed it necessary I meet Kat sooner rather than later to help control her powers. I have always been in control so she never lost control.”“I see. I wish you would’ve at least told us,” says my mother.“Well that is in the past and today is a happy day. Skye has already been ordering everyone around ensuring everything is in order,” l
Katerina“Kat wake up.”I open my eyes when I hear Skye’s voice.“You fell asleep,” she giggles.Her hair is wet and she is wrapped in a towel. She must’ve already showered.“We figured we’d let you sleep, but now it’s your turn to get in the shower while Brandyn does my hair.”I stretch and gather my things before heading into the shower. I turn the water has hot as I can handle and just let the water cascade down my back.‘You alright my angel?’The question in my head startles me as typically you can only mind link with your pack.‘How are we mind linking?’‘We are mates and I am sure you are more special than you realize. Now that you are of age I’m sure there is no limits to what you can do. Now what is wrong?’
KaiSomething is definitely wrong and I need to find Adelaide immediately. It’s as if Kat doesn’t remember she has already met her mate nor does she remember our conversation about Brandyn. Something is wrong. I don’t raise the alarm with her and decide to lead her downstairs to enjoy her birthday. Once we make it to the bottom she is swarmed by the guests and I leave her to go find Gunner.“What’s wrong,” he asks immediately knowing something is wrong.“I am not sure, but she doesn’t seem to remember meeting her mate already. I need to find Adelaide.”“I’m right here. Good to see you again Gunner, Hunter.”I raise an eyebrow as I wasn’t aware they were already acquainted.“Adelaide you did send one of your coven m
KatMy heart flutters at the thought of this stranger stealing my first kiss. I don’t know what is wrong with me because he is leaning in and I am not pulling away. I tilt my head and begin to close my eyes as screams erupt from around us.“Rogues!”Everyone is running as chaos erupts. Many have shifted and are protecting those who cannot shift or are unable to at the moment.“Kat wait!”I hear the stranger calling after me but I don’t hesitate as I feel the shift happening.‘How is this possible Irena? The moon is not at it’s apex yet.’‘How are you able to speak to me at such an early age? You are special Katerina.’The shift happens with ease, no pain whatsoever which is not normal. I have been told the first shift is quite painful but it gets easier over time.
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’
