KATRINAI reached the gate and tried to get it open but it wouldn’t budge. A blue beam of light emerged from it, scanning me from head to toe. A few seconds later, it automatically unlocked. That wasn’t there this morning. Gosh, Carissa was always making unnecessary upgrades. I walked down the small interlocked path and looked at the lawn on my right and left. She had a lot of free time today since the lawn was mowed too. I stepped into the parking spot of the cars which had a black Camry at the left and a white Toyota at the right.I didn’t take cars to work because it was bad for business. They didn’t know where I lived and that was why I only limited our friendship to the store.The duplex was cream, her favorite color, and the balcony rested against the wall, demarcating the first floor and ground floor, being overshadowed by the pillars that held a miniature roof, specifically designed to prevent sun rays from reaching the balcony.A cross-hipped brown-ash roof covered our heads
IANI’ve never quite listened to the schedule reports Anna updates me about every morning. But d*mn, I wish I did because today was a bloody Monday and it was the first of the month—Summer. So, everything was pretty f*cked up and there were so many things laid down not only for today but for the rest of the week.Anna reminded and informed me before the actual activities but it wasn’t like knowing what you were doing.It reminded me of the first day I became CEO. I thought Cannon was nuts for leaving me in charge of the company ‘cause I had no f*cking idea of a thing I was doing. But then Anna, my PA, dived in and handled everything like a pro.She’s saved my butt many times and I don’t know what I’d do without her. But she wasn’t only good in the office, she was good on the bed too because she was the only one that could give me s*x as half as good as Katrina’s.“Mr. Watson has managed to squeeze in an appointment with you and it’s starting in the next five minutes. I’ll bring in drin
KATRINAThey jumped from their seats and ran toward us, surrounding us.“Mummy, is it true? Are we going to LA?!” Aurora squealed, jumping to the highest as her hair bounced, with her hands on my lap.“Yes, mummy! Let’s go! We’re going, aren’t we Auntie Carry?!” Dash was as excited as his sister.Carissa turned to me since I was the one calling the shots over this. Hilda was once excited too but she didn’t seem to be very happy about it anymore.“Well, I haven’t decided yet.”Aurora tugged at my lap. “Let’s go, mummy! Pretty pretty pretty please!”That cute face she made was not going to work on me.“We never go anywhere because of Hilda!”“Don’t say that about your sister, Dash,” I warned him.‘So what do you say? Are they going?’ Carissa asked through a mind-link.‘I don’t know…’‘It’s going to be fun. I promise. Do it for the kids at least.’‘But I need someone’s approval first.’I called Hilda over and she slowly walked toward me, while Dash made a funny face at her.“Do you want t
KATRINA“I don’t know, Issa.”“Come on, it’ll be fun.”“Yes, mummy! You should go!” Dash agreed.There was only one reason why he’d want me to leave. Hilda looked away and went to the tray, trying to get it open.“But is it safe to leave the kids here?”“They’ll be fine. Won’t you children?”The mischievous two nodded. Hilda had managed to open it and was breaking the lobster apart, eating it up. Thankfully, none of them were allergic to seafood.“But Issa…”She grabbed my hand and pulled me up.“Please, I can’t face him without you.”I groaned and eventually agreed. I smiled when Aurora and Dash joined Hilda in eating the lobster.“Okay kids, you don’t leave this room until we get back. Got that?” The three of them nodded and we left to the conference room. It didn’t take us long before we found it even though the hotel was like a f*cking maze.‘Isn’t that why they call it the five-star express?’I almost choked on my water.As we climbed down the stairs, a large board meeting table
KATRINA“Run!”The kids got my call and ran for the exit door. Ian growled in pain and turned me over, with him now on me and my back on the floor.“How dare you!”Before he could strike me, I blew some sleeping dust on his face and he went unconscious. I pushed him off me and went to the exit door as well. The kids hadn’t gone too far—fortunately, and unfortunately—and I could see the fear in their eyes.They ran to me and squeezed me tightly.“Mummy, what’s going on?” Hilda asked, tears still in her eyes.I only had fifteen minutes before Ian woke up and we needed to get the heck out of here. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” I rubbed their heads. “But we have to go. Come on kids.”As we rushed to the parking lot of the hotel, the kids asked me numerous questions but I wasn’t able to answer most of them.“Mummy, did you see, we threw our stuff at him!”“Yes, that’s very good.”I was so tensed and the kids were still so energized even though we were running around the hotel lik
KATRINACarissa banged the door, groaning in frustration when there wasn’t any answer. Rain was pouring heavily and I wasn’t comfortable keeping my kids in the rain.‘Stop overacting, Kat. They’re wearing raincoats.’“Are you sure he's home?” I asked, shivering a bit.She knocked harder. I got tired of waiting in the rain and was about to kick the door open when Henry opened it. He showed up in a bathing robe, showing off his chest hairs and the side view of a wolf tattoo on there. He had blonde hair with very obvious dark roots and was muscular, and heavily built.He had marble grey eyes and the sweetest smile of any guy I’ve ever met.He was very handsome but he was a wolf—normal standards. Before he could say anything, I barged in, pushing him aside. Goddess, I was so confused. Carissa followed while Henry carried the children.“Uncle Henry! Do you want to hear what we did today?!” Aurora shrieked happily as he swung her over his neck. He carried Dash in one hand and Hilda in the
IAN“We’ve been searching for her, sir. The jet changed its landing point and we have been unable to find her yet.”I turned my swivel chair to him, grasping its handles so I wouldn’t pounce at him or anyone else in the office.“A jet isn’t so small that it could just disappear!” The urge to retract my claws and scratch his face was high but I had to hold it in. There were too many humans here already and I didn’t want to make an unnecessary scene.A member from the Los Angeles Board of Police commission was present, along with some of his cops and a private detective that just joined recently… but none of them were doing enough. I didn’t want the FBI on this case since I’ve already had bad records with them but if I didn’t act fast, they’d poke their noses into it.“Doesn’t the jet have a tracker?” I asked, trailing my eyes around the different sets of eyes around.“The tracker was destroyed and disposed of in Portland.”F*ck.Katrina
KATRINASaying goodbye was the hardest thing. We weren’t taking much with us so we could reach Alpha Hades’ pack at the earliest. It was hard to explain to the kids that we were leaving, especially without Carissa since she was always with us.Carissa was more than an aunt to them. She was their second mother. One day they almost asked if we were lesbian mothers. That had to be the funniest thing I’d heard. I wished we could stay longer but we had to leave this very morning.Ian was out searching for me and I couldn’t risk an extra second. Once the kids were done preparing and eating… I explained what was happening. They were very confused and I deduced they knew it was because of yesterday’s incident.“Is it because of that bad guy, mummy?”I almost broke down at how sad the three became. For more than five years, I’ve been hiding the truth from them. I was a wolfant—a forbidden wolf. A wolf that shouldn’t be alive and they were the children of Lycans.Not just any Lycans, royal Lycan
He listened to the darkness that spun around his ears, a low screeching noise releasing from it. It danced around him and sang the song of death as he walked mindlessly to where he had to be.This meeting could happen only once in ten years. He wasn’t sure he had made the wisest decision or that the others were smart to join but what he knew was that he needed answers. And he would do anything to get them.Heart-burning answers about his mate and all happening on the surface above, things he needed to know. If only he could stretch his hand out of the looming darkness and rejoin them…The darkness continued to swirl like a body of smoke in the dead of the night. He was walking but he wasn’t feeling the ground. He was moving but he felt like he had been in the same place the whole time. His eyes were open but it wouldn’t make a difference if he were blind… in a place as dark and sad as this.Not too long after his wailing thoughts, Cannon saw what looked like a dull red orb of dim light
KATRINA‘It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?’My knees were on the new little shoots of grass that were growing… The wind was very friendly ‘cause it circled me in a gentle whirlwind. The sun was madly bright, hoping to roast everyone with its stinging rays but that didn’t bother me because of the greater pain weighing my heart down. Little stones prickled my knees and I removed my sunglasses, setting them aside.Windy and Sunny didn’t go well together. Father said there was nothing in the world that couldn’t go together. It all depended on how you were doing it. But in this case, the wind is like Dash and the sun is like Hilda so…The pain of looking down at father’s grave was sharp and hit me right in the heart.There was nothing like it and I had been fighting tears all the time I was here. I could barely hear the voices of the playing kids that Kane was trying to control. I smiled a bit… they wouldn’t take him seriously, especially when he’s been spoiling them too much.Surprisingly m
KATRINAFreedom. It was all I could think about.Kane ushered me into a room, checking to make sure no one followed us here. Our duration at the ball was mostly spent attending to guests, dancing, and having conversations with the Beta and Gamma until nine o’clock. We needed time to ourselves and I was annoyed that two Alphas, one of the Jayrus pack and the other of the Skyfall pack, were eager on discussing business with the Alpha. There were so eager that they couldn’t even respect the party. I couldn’t blame them. The partnership would be hugely beneficial if they succeeded.But if they think that because Kane’s a new Alpha, he’d be easily convinced with a partnership that he’d only gain access to a few diamond mines and good weather, then they were twice dumber than I thought. Kane knew what he was doing. His words, “Today’s a celebration. Let’s not spoil the mood with business talk, the time for that will come.” We also met Alpha Hades and I didn’t care if it was inappropriat
KATRINAI don’t want to sound proud but since no one’s here to tell me, I say this dress looks so much better when I’m wearing it.‘You do sound proud and… that’s how it’s meant to be.’‘Ever heard of what you wanted versus what you got?’I couldn’t recognize my former self as I gazed at myself in the mirror. It must be a crime to look this pretty.‘Cut it out already! It’s annoying.’‘Sounds like jealousy to me. Too bad you can’t wear a dress.’‘Says who?’I pushed her aside for a moment and thought about the kids. I wasn’t happy that they would have to sleep through the most important morning of my life but it was best. They wouldn’t understand what was happening and would ask just too many questions.Hilda would’ve been so pleased to see me wear a crown. She would think we were in a castle all this time and tick herself as a princess. Also, I don’t think they know that the wolves here can actually shift into one. It’s hard to imagine the looks on their faces when they realize they
KATRINA Thankfully, Kendra left me off because Susanna caught us when she came to momentarily check up on me. She was furious when she discovered I wasn’t sleeping and it made me wish I had locked the door.So that was how she sent Kendra away at ten pm and tried to put me to sleep. Of course, I couldn’t so I pretended. She bought it and left the room. I don’t know what the time is but I’m still awake and I was laying on my side on the bed, staring at my dress.The last time a dress had been folded for me like this was when I was being sold. Today, this was for a coronation that will change my life. It’s crazy because the sale felt like yesterday.If someone told me I’d end up like this, I would have never believed it. It’s amazing but some strange force was pulling me down. I couldn’t force a smile even with all the amazing things happening around me.There were still unsettled things between Kane and me, and I was afraid to bring it up. I’m not sure if he has ever thought about it.
KATRINA“Why are you here?”My right hand kept the door partially open, prepared for when they’d say something irritating so I could slam it in their faces, and the part of me that wasn’t inside, rested on the hinges.Kane was close… close enough for me to feel his warm heavy breaths on the weak points of my neck and his crotch unnoticeably grinding my a*s, excitement sizzling through me. If only Susanna wasn’t in…Madeline and Fraser were not present, thank goodness for that, but any of the council members is enough to put me in a bad mood. “You haven’t said anything?” Kane inquired, opening the door a bit more so that his menacing figure would get a better view.Penelope’s eyes were sizing Kane up and that made me more insecure than it normally should’ve been.Elder Sesan had gone strict and that small smile he once had, had gone. “We must inform you, of course, about the coronation that will occur in the grand hall tomorrow.”“Coronation?” I asked, easing and tensing up at the sam
KATRINAFor a second there, I felt complete emptiness. What was I saying? I couldn’t even feel myself. I went numb and it didn’t ‘feel like’ because something had definitely been pulled out of me. It came like eternal peace but I began to worry when I got my senses back and still couldn’t move.Thankfully, Kane caught me and the world was colorful again. My nerves were working again. I was still recovering but Kane helped me to my feet and his touch brought me back to life.His aura was stronger than ever and the one thing that was once shared among three, then two… all belonged to him. It was a pulling attraction, which I could barely control.Was this how it felt to have one mate? The one you truly deserved. “What did you do, Kat?” Kane asked, and he seemed to have turned slightly pale as well.I muttered silently, smiling, “What I should have done a long time ago.”Ian wasn’t taking this well. He screamed like he was burn
KANE I didn’t understand a f*cking thing that was happening but the way my life changed from ‘waiting for death’ to ‘becoming Alpha’ left me in shock. I was not expecting it and what I loved most right now was how Katrina held my hand bossily.Dragging me along with her… with serious a*s movements that drove me nuts.‘I see empty rooms all around us?’‘Not a f*cking word from you.’But as much as I enjoyed this moment and didn’t want it to end, I had to know what the hell was happening. The excitement, sex drive, and curiosity were killing me.“You have to tell me what’s going on? Can you hear how hard my heart is beating?”I sensed her rolling her eyes because her back was to me, and I admired her beautiful and lengthier caramel blonde hair. “Be patient, would you?”I didn’t want to stop her because she was so anxious but I had to do something.“Explain while we’re going. If you don’t, I might die before we reach there.”She turned to me, a glare locked on her face before she shook
KATRINAWho will be the chosen one?It was a simple question but there’d be grave consequences if a mistake occurred. Not only would my kids and I suffer for it, but the pack as a whole. A worthy wolf would also be hanged to death.“You’ve had plenty of time to think before now, Katrina. We don’t want to waste any more time now, do we?” Madeline snapped at me, seeming greatly impatient.Penelope talked before Elder Sesan could say a word. “This is a very delicate decision. Even at the last second, it needs proper thinking. You shouldn’t rush…”“And who asked you to speak?” Fraser turned to her while I watched them with grazing eyes. “You never have anything sensible to say.”“She is right, Fraser.” All attention returned to Sesan when his words came out. “A decision made in haste would yield frightening results. We must not hasten her.”Fraser sneered while Penelope glared at Madeline for some time before catching me loo
