Katerina
The 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.

Katerina “Katerina, Skye hurry up! You are going to make us late for school,” yells Xander from downstairs. ‘Hold your horses, we’re coming,’ I mind link. “Why didn’t he just mind link us to begin with,” asks Skye. “Dramatic effect,” I reply with a laugh. Xander is my cousin and just a few months younger than Skye and I. Skye is also a cousin and my best friend. We live in a small town in Oregon and are attending our senior year in high school. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have always dreamed of traveling. I want to see more in this life. I don’t want to just find my mate and get married. Skye and I finish up our make up and head down stairs. We find Xander pacing back and forth. He has always been the impatient one. “Finally! Let’s go already,” he says as he rushes out the door towards the car. Skye and I giggle as we follow him, climbing in the back seat. Xander drives to his best friend’s house. Kyle and Xander were born on the same day and have been inseparable ev
Gunner“Rise and shine,” says my beta, Hunter, annoyingly loud.“Why in the world did I make you my beta,” I groan.“Because I am devilishly handsome and smart.”“Right, how could I forget,” I reply sarcastically. “Come on you have that meeting with the elders in half an hour.”“Ugh, just cancel it. I already know what they’re going to say.”“Well, you are now twenty and still have yet to secure a luna.”“She is obviously not a part of our pack. I have met every female and not one of them is my mate.”“Well maybe the goddess has turned her back on us because of what happened? No one has found a fated mate since elder sam.”I glare at Hunter but I know he could also be right. My great grandfather committed the worse crime you could and no one in this pack has been able to find their fated mate since. The elders have been hounding me to take a chosen mate like everyone else, but I have had this feeling like I need to wait; like she is close by and I’ll meet her any day now. “She is cl
Katerina ‘Kai, what do you know about lycans?’‘Only that they are known to be abuse to their mates to the point they even kill them due to their animalistic tendencies. The human side cannot control the lycan. That’s why the moon goddess cursed them to never find their fated mates again.’‘Interesting…’‘Don’t even think about it Kat. The lycans wiped out a whole pack almost two hundred years ago. They are dangerous. Don’t go trying to fix something that should be left alone.’‘I didn’t say I was going to fix anything.’‘You don’t have to Kat, I’m your brother remember.’‘Whatever.’I cut the mind link before Kai can lecture me any further. There has to be more to the story that he either doesn’t know or is not telling me and I doubt my father will tell me. My parents are extremely protective of me and they think I don’t know, but I have noticed the two guards that have been assigned to me. They blend in with the school staff well enough, but I am not stupid. The first day of schoo
KaterinaAt this point I am sure Xander and Kyle are dying. Skye has insisted we hit every other store and the boys have become our bag holders. Now don’t get me wrong, I love to shop but shopping with Skye is on a whole other level. As much as I didn’t really want to shop today I am glad I did. I got a few new blouses that were on sale and restocked my make up. Skye and I are exiting yet another store with the boys right behind us when I accidentally bump into someone.“Oh my goodness, I am so sorry,” I say to the stranger as he grabs my arm to help steady me from almost falling.I stare at him far longer than I should’ve. I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere, but I can’t quite but put my finger on it.‘Keep walking,’ begs Irena.“No harm no foul. Hey you are Ashoka’s daughter aren’t you,” asks the strange man.“Umm..yes. You know my mom?”“Oh yes we go way back. Tell her Tristan says hi.”“Okay Tristan, I will.”I begin walking away and look back behind me to find Tristan still stari
NicoTristan. I haven’t heard that name in seventeen years. He wrote a letter to me after we defeated the dark coven and then we never heard from him again. Our vampire coven allies leader, Adelaide, has been searching for years for a clue but has found nothing. It’s as if he appeared out of thin air and all we know is he is out to destroy this pack and take my daughter as his prize. That name set Ace off and I had to let him out before he accidentally hurt someone. I quickly assigned two guards to Katerina and took off. I know she is on pack lands and is now safe, but I still would rather take the precaution. ‘Nico, what is wrong,’ asks Ahsoka through he link, feeling my immediate frustration.Shit. I never told Ahsoka about the letter. She was pregnant with Katerina at the time and I didn’t want to stress her out with this information. Once Kat was born I didn’t find it necessary to say anything and I didn’t for years since we hadn’t heard a word from him since. Until now anyway.
Katerina After we finish at the cafe, Kyle and Xander drop Skye and I off at the pack house then head for training. Normally Skye and I would go but I just don’t feel like it tonight. Skye decided to keep me company since my mind has been on who this Tristan guy is. I have been trying to figure out what he wants, but I know one thing is for certain. He is no friend. “You can’t seriously be thinking of naming that abomination as the next alpha of this pack?! He is not even your son!” “What your tone with me Elijah. Kai is as much my son as Katerina is and he will be your next alpha!” “But alpha, he has no wolf. He can’t hide that from the pack forever.” “They will accept him just as he is. He can protect this pack just as easily as I can.” Skye goes to say something but I quickly put a finger to my lips and point to the stairs. We quickly tiptoe away before my father catches our scent. As soon as we reach my room I quickly shut the door
Katerina Mom didn’t go into detail of what abuse she endured as a child but I got the gist. It was bad and dad saved her. Thankfully Kai says he doesn’t remember much his time with Ryan Banks, but he does remember some of the abuse. I am sad that they had to go through that but thankful dad was able to save them both. The next day at school I am unable to concentrate. My parents offered to let me stay home but I didn’t want to worry them so I opted to go. So much new information was thrown at me in such a short amount of time that I haven’t quite processed it yet. My brother is not a wolf but a warlock, though still a tribrid like me and I have some crazy warlock bent on revenge using me to get it. I feel I have become more paranoid now that I know someone is out there watching me. “Earth to Kat,” says Xander and I blink and return to the present. “Sorry, what?” “You’ve been acting strange latel
Warning: Reference of Rape ahead. Continue at your discretion. Gunner Hunter and I decided to head into the United States territories and scan the packs from afar to see if we can find my mate. I’ve been gone from the pack for almost a week and I know I am going to have to return soon, but I don’t want return empty handed. Thankfully for me, lycan’s can hide their scent. ‘Do you hear that,’ says Hunter through the mind link. ‘Sounds like a football game,’ I reply. ‘Let’s check it out.’ Before I can stop him he is already at the forest line, shifting into his human form. As soon as I join him the most delicious scent hits me, driving Apollo crazy. I can feel Apollo trying to take control, wanting to find his mate now. “What is wrong Gunner?” “She’s here.” “No fucking way! We found her?”

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’
