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
CARISSA“I miss her, Henry!”Henry groaned. “You’ve been saying that for the past thirty minutes.”“How will I survive without her?! She gave me a reason to live!”“Hello! Another reason to live is right in front of you!”I looked up at him and smiled. “Sorry, I just…”“I know, I get it.” He looked down, turning emotional. “I felt the same way when I separated from Hades.”“You never told me about him.”He scratched the back of his head—a sign of nervousness. “Yeah… we were close friends back in the Starmoon pack. He was the Alpha’s son and I was just a common Sigma-to-be. But I was orphaned and had to leave.”“Why?” I asked.“Let’s say life happened.” He changed the topic. “I’ve got to get Henrietta from the dog sitter.”Yeah, there was something I needed to do as well. “Henry…”He placed his attention on me and I almost lost myself in his eyes but I found my tongue. “I was thinking of returning home to pack some things.”He grimaced. “That’s not a good idea. I get that you’re homesic
CARISSA When he took a step closer, I took three steps back, prepared to use my knife at any instance. “Nice to see you again.” “Y-you better le-leave or-or…” “Or what?” His eyes went to the knife in my hands. A pathetic laugh escaped his lips. “Go ahead. Let’s see you try.” I took the open chance to strike his bare chest but he caught it in the air. I couldn’t move because his grip was so firm. He squeezed my wrist and the ache I felt was nothing compared to my agonizing screams. He took the knife from me and threw it away but it got worse when he released his claws. Ian spun me and pinned my hands to the wall, his eyes burning with desire and anger. “Let go of me, Ian!” “I don’t have time for your foolishness. I ask you a question and you must answer it without hesitation.” I tried to kick him but he raised my body even higher, so my feet were no longer touching the ground. The pull of my arms was painful and it strained my neck to the extent that I could barely breathe. “
KATRINAThankfully—as I had predicted—it was just a thirty-minute walk and the outskirts of wolf territories were safer but the children were exhausted. Perhaps, I spoiled them too much.‘That’s an understatement. You always take them everywhere with a car and they only ever actually walk in the house.’‘Isn’t that what most parents do?’‘Not pups, Katrina.’I remembered the words of protection Cannon told me. Though I still despised the guy, if not for him, I would’ve been manhandled so much as a s*x slave that I may have lost my triplets. My stomach knotted, why was I living if not for them?The forest was the same as I left it six years ago. There were the berries, the tall trees that never seemed to stop growing, beautiful flowers and shrubs, animal sounds that were melodious to the ear… It was a dream during the day but on the night I escaped, I felt like Snow White when she was running away from the huntsman in the Black Forest.‘Yeah, I remember that,’ Melora laughed.We reached
KANEI was relieved that I had reached. The Sigmas at the gate welcomed me warmly and I entered the packhouse. I buttoned my shirt up and removed the bag from my back, zipping it down to check if everything was intact.But suddenly, my legs got rooted to the ground and I couldn’t move if I wanted to. But why would I want to? In six years, I’ve been attracted to vanilla because of that f*cking Katrina. She was torturing me though she wasn’t here.The vanilla scent coming from this door was different. It was unique and I couldn’t quite place my finger on it. I was drawn to the door and I found myself, trying to get it open. I was almost there but the door was locked and it put me back to my senses. F*ck, what was I thinking?‘Get yourself together, Kane. F*ck.’“Oh, you’ve arrived. I’m glad you’re here.” It was Hades. I smirked and walked up to him as we shook hands. “I’m sure the journey must have been rough. Why don’t we take a break before we start the meeting?”“This isn’t my first j
KATRINAIt was Kane. F*cking Kane! I didn’t run away from one just to get tangled with another one.‘Goddess, why!!!’“Get the f*ck off me!”That was undeniably Kane’s voice. I pressed his neck down with my arm and made him stay still on the floor, grabbing one of his arms and pulling it till it couldn’t stretch further.“Why are you after me?!”I had to get the kids and myself out of here, but first, the kids had to leave.‘As always,’ Melora said.“Katrina! Is that you?!!!”And I almost thought he wouldn’t remember me. I beckoned the kids to get out of the room and though they hesitated, they had to listen.“I’m going to f*cking destroy you!” “You said that the last time!” I said, squeezing his neck even harder as he groaned.The kids left the room. I couldn’t lead them to the Alpha or anyone else because if Kane was here, then no one could be trusted.“Stay down!”He released his claws, scratching my hand and forcing me to free him for a second. He took the opportunity and clutched
KATRINA“Mummy, I’m tired.”I didn’t know where we were going but all I knew was that we needed to keep moving. It pained me in my heart to see how tired my kids were and being unable to do anything about it.I was too tired to walk—thoughtless of carrying them. ‘Kat, we need a plan.’Melora had been saying that for the past few minutes but I didn’t know how to answer her.‘Kat just say something, anything.’I rubbed Dash’s head and knew that they had enough. “Alright kids, we’ll take a little break.”They dropped to the floor and made comfort in the thick bushes, snuggling with themselves due to the absence of pillows. They had taken an energy bar so we were okay—for now.‘I don’t know what to do Mel. I’m afraid of walking because we might be walking into a trap. I’m afraid of staying because they might be after us. Nowhere is safe! Gosh, I wish Carissa was here. She has a solution to every problem.’I missed that girl as much as I missed father. For some time in my life, I saw her m
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
