"Mommy!" Katherina screamed, a hot tear fleeing out of her eyes as she ran towards her mom. Klaus gently shoved Katherine aside and quickly performed CPR on her. "What happened to mom all of a sudden? She was doing fine just now." Katherine asked Isabella curiously.Isabella was already shivering in fear but she had to tell them what happened, "She…we were talking and we happened to mention your…father." She stammered knowing the consequences of her actions. "What? I've cautioned you severally before bringing you down here never to talk about my father in her presence but you still went ahead and defied my warning?" Klaus asked as he stared briefly at her in disgust and disappointment.He was able to normalize his mom's breathing but she lost her consciousness afterward but being a doctor, Klaus knew what to do. He carried his mom from the ground in bridal style and took her upstairs to help her relax on her bed while Katherine and Isabella followed him with teary eyes. "Katherin
"One way or the other we need to get it out of there before she notices it," Harris suggested. "Yes but the lockers are computerized and locked with passwords. If we try to break in, she will be alarmed and she will definitely become suspicious. The only way is to have her open it by herself." Zack explained. "She can't find out about everything just yet! My whole 10 years of suffering will go down the drain and the King and his Luna will really abandon me!" Harris panicked, pacing around the room. "You don't have to panic, My Lord. We are not sure yet if she actually wrote anything…" "I know Ella! She definitely wrote something huge. I have a gut feeling. It's definitely huge. All our struggles might end with just that note. I'm sure Katherine must have already gone to work by now. Inform our people at the station to keep an eye on her. I will try to come up with a plan." Harris suggested and Zack just agreed with him and quickly put a call through to the police. THE REYNOLDS BU
"Uhmm...she must be resting in the ro…" "That's a lie mom!" Katherine interrupted her brother. "He scolded Isabella so harshly earlier for escalating your condition, I'm sure the poor girl must be in so much pain now." She reported, surprising their mom. "And what did you do while he was scolding her?" Mrs. Reynolds asked Katherine. "Mom, I-I...what could I have done when…" Mrs. Reynolds heaved a sigh of distress, interrupting Katherine with her scary side glare. "You both keep going on and on about how I shouldn't think too much about your dad but you keep giving me reasons to talk about him. All our years together as a family, have you ever seen him scold me so harshly? He was a great warrior but he was never rude to women talk more of his own woman. I'm so disappointed in you, Klaus! And I'm sure your father is." Mrs. Reynolds reprimanded, dropping her head in disappointment. "Mom, I'm…I'm sorry." Klaus apologized, moving his eyes round every corner of the room as he tried t
Jason decided to stay mute because he knew that whenever she was this angry there is really nothing he can do to calm her down except bringing up a solution which was one thing he didn't have at the moment. On getting to the station, Katherine stomped into the Colonel's office with a thousand and one questions in her mind but she wasn't even able to ask a single one."Don't worry my Lord, the corpse is being prepared at the moment. It will be sent over as soon as it is done." Colonel Mark reassured the Lycan King who was sipping a hot cup of coffee as he relaxed on the brown sofa in the Colonel's office with his legs crossed while the Colonel bowed his head while standing in front of him."What? What sort of rubbish plan is that? Do you have any idea that a part of her body has gone missing? How can you agree to send her away just like that?" Katherine asked angrily as walked closer to them. "Hmm…my Muffin is here! It looks like you have already resumed. Are you going to move in aft
Katherine quickly shoved the note into the back pocket of her trousers and picked up her car before dashing out of the office. Jason quickly informed his desk mate about his absence before going after Katherine. "I will drive! You had some alcohol, remember!" Jason reminded as he forcefully grabbed the key from Katherine's hands. "It's just a glass. I'm not drunk." She argued but Jason was already seated in the driver's seat so she climbed to the passenger seat beside him.The ride home was fast but silent and once they were finally home, Katherine recognized two ladies sitting in their living room as the maids she had seen when she visited the palace. "What is going on here and who said you could come to my house?" She asked angrily as the ladies quickly stood and bowed to her and just then, her mom walked out of the kitchen with a tray carrying three cups of coffee. "Please have this and give the third one to the driver while she gets herself ready." She requested nicely as she
A few maids rushed down to where Katherine was seated on the floor and they begged her to stand up and she did when she realized she was causing a scene and making their job harder for them. She quickly wiped her tears away and put on a fake even though deep down, it felt as if her heart was being stomped on by hundreds of matching soldiers. One of the maids tried to take her backpack but she declined and asked to be shown to her residence and as expected, she was taken to the King's Chambers and luckily, they met Riley waiting right in front of the pathway leading to his room. "I will take it from here." She said to the maids who immediately bowed to her and left the premises. Riley walked towards Harris's room while Katherine walked behind her in silence. Even though she was walking behind her, her subconscious mind was far from being in the palace. She couldn't help but remember that day 10 years ago while they were all waiting for their father in fear and all of a sudde
Harris's lips froze on Katherine's neck as soon as her voice echoed in his ears and he slowly opened his eyes and raised his head to meet Katherine's glaring eyes in the mirror. "What could that be?" He asked even though he could already guess what she had in mind. Harris watched with keen and lustful eyes as Katherine moved away from the mirror towards her bag. She checked through it and brought out a strapless bra, flowery patterned undies, a white singlet, and thigh-length pants. While turning her back against Harris, she brought down her towel from under her armpits to underneath her breast and then she covered her boobs with her strapless bra. "Help me with the back clasp." She requested even though it sounded more like a demand and Harris helplessly walked closer to her and moved his hand up against her back. As soon as his hands touched her back, she spoke up again. "You will never force me to have sex with you and neither will you try to turn me on…because if you do, I w
"What?" Harris asked as he thought Katherine was talking to her. Katherine realized she was in the enemy's den so she quickly shoved the note inside her pocket and looked back at him breathlessly. "Nothing!" She gave out an awkward smile which Harris found suspicious. Katherine hurried up with her makeup and attempted to run out of the house but Harris stopped her. "Something fell off your pocket." He reported and Katherine's eyes widened as she saw the note Harris was holding out to her. "Huh…thank you!" She snapped as she quickly collected the note from him and sprinted out. "Fuck…I'm so clumsy!" She blamed herself as she rushed down the stairs to the Pack House's enormous veranda. As soon as she left the room, Harris who was already aware of the note she was holding quickly picked up his phone and dialed a number that he saved as Godson "Katherine is in her way now. She has found the hidden message on the note so before she can decipher the code, send a snapshot of it
Cruz was surprised by Jessica's reaction and just couldn't understand why she was so mad at him. Anyways, he ran after her before she could walk a few meters and he grabbed her arm, pulling her back to face him. "Let go of me, Mr. Westham!" Jessica rolled her eyes. "Mrs. Westham, where exactly do you think you're wandering off to? Getting to the gate is already enough work, you don't plan to walk out of this estate, do you?" Cruz asked cunningly. By the mention of Mrs. Westham, it dawned on Jessica that they were now legally married, and walking out of a serious conversation won't solve anything. "Let go of my hand." She sighed knowing her anger won't hold out for long and Cruz eventually let go of her hand. "I know you're angry even though I don't know why but I can't let you walk out when we come in a car." Cruz attempted to convince Jessica but ended up provoking her even more."You don't…you don't even know why I'm angry? Huh, what was I even expecting." She smacked her lips
THE WOLF ROYAL PACK HOUSE "Make sure the door is locked." Harris instructed Riley who was just entering the office. "Zack, please display the images." He ordered Zack who immediately inserted a flash drive into his laptop and displayed the gruesome images of the murder through the projector. "According to the Pathologist, Monica Coleman's skin was flayed While she was still very much alive, and that too in her wolf form. Somehow, the Flayerman can compel her to shift from human to wolf form at will. This can only mean the culprit is either an Alpha werewolf or a Lycan and this also proves that what we deduced from Ella's note is true. Maybe she was just trying to say the Flayerman is a Lycan." Zack briefed them on the case. "The Culprits!" Harris corrected. "What do you mean by that?" Zack and Riley asked curiously. "I mean we are looking for two culprits. One flays its victim while the other dismembers. They both seem to have different things that they keep as a trophy. The Flay
Katherine tried to go closer to him but her pushed he pushed her off and ran out of the room.Katherine ran after him until they were outside of the morgue. Jason halted and turned towards Katherine with trembling hands and red eyes. "Give it!" He ordered leaving Katherine confused again. "What?" She asked curiously. "The car key!" He replied and the confused Katherine threw the key at him. Immediately, Jason ran towards the car and quickly started it. Before Katherine could reach the car, he drove off, leaving her behind without the slightest clue of what was going on with him. "What's up with him?" Mrs. Campbell who had also followed them out asked. "I don't know. He has never behaved like this before. No matter how scared he was, he'd never behave so weirdly or run off like that." Katherine panicked. "That was because he has never seen such murder. Why did he join the police if he was going to be such a baby?" Mrs. Campbell wondered but her comment provoked Katherine. "If y
"What do you mean? Do you know someone by that name?" Jason asked cluelessly. Katherine stared into the paper but she could barely see it properly as her mind had become fuzzy and confused. She walked to her chair and sat down before taking her time to explain to Jason what happened at Harris' office the previous day. "I swear I saw this same name boldly written on the paper. I didn't read much meaning to it before handing it over because I believe he had access to the details of every member of the Pack but I never imagined…I never imagined that the next place I will see this name would be on a death list." She narrated, raising her head from time to time to fight back the tears that were threatening to fall off. "That's just too bad. I haven't seen the corpse just yet but from what I heard, it is worse tha…" Jason's voice trailed off as the landline blared off and Katherine had to answer the call. "I want you both in my office now." Major Daniels ordered and Katherine knew
"W-what are you talking about?" Harris asked, feigning ignorance. "You can play dumb all you want. Tsk…what was I expecting?" Katherine scoffed as she stood up to her feet, ready to leave but Harris stopped her. "Where are you going by this time? It's already past working hours." He asked, unintentionally selling himself out as he grabbed her hand. "For all you know, I could have been going to my room what made you think I was going to work?" She asked cunningly. "What's all this rubbish?" Alpha Ruiz asked as he was already feeling disgusted by their cheap argument. "Why don't you ask your son? He will give you a better explanation." Katherine replied fearlessly as she forcefully released her hand from Harris's grip and attempted to leave again but just when she was about to step out of the dining hall, three hefty guards blocked her way with none of them looking up at her. "Get the hell out of my way?" She scolded and waited for their response but it was more like she was talki
"W-what are you talking about?" Harris tried to hide his stutters with his fear. Despite being the most feared and supposedly powerful person, he still cringes when it comes to talking with his parents, especially his father, after all, he was also a Lycan King and is still a Lycan after abdicating his throne.Alpha Ruiz concentrated on his newspaper even more as a sly smirk appeared on his lips.'Did he already find out about White Fir? How much does he know? Is he the one that kidnapped Monica? Does he have any idea who the Flayerman is? Does he know about what I did to Ella?' Series of questions went through Harris's mind but there were no answers to them and his father's silence wasn't helping matters. "What do you mean by that?" He asked once again, hoping his father would reply but he seemed more interested in his newspaper than in the conversation with Harris. "See you at dinner. My regards to your mate." He dismissed Harris and even though he was eager to know what was goin
"Are you serious right now? This place was investigated thoroughly before and even you were here to investigate it so what's up now?" Jason asked, confused by Katherine's new theory. "Jas, we need to go back to the office now. Major Daniels will listen to this and give his opinion." Katherine suggested and immediately ran towards the car. The confused Jason had to follow her lead as usual. Within an hour, they arrived at the Pack's station, and luckily, Major Daniels was in his office. "Lieutenant Reynolds and Sergeant White, you both are here. How are the investigations going?" He asked with a smile as they walked in. "It's going wonderful, Sir. I just discovered an important detail." Katherine announced as she and Jason saluted the Major. "Get seated and give me the news." He ordered and they both seated immediately. "I just discovered that the bushy field isn't the real crime scene." Katherine announced. “Finally, it took you five days to find that out.” Major Daniels
"Yes! I need to talk to Klaus and find out more about the theft case since I didn't even get the chance to talk to Mom about it." Katherine explained. After almost an hour's drive, they arrived at the Pack's hospital and luckily, Klaus was available in his office. Immediately he saw Katherine, he knew she cried again despite her fake grin. "What happened to you again, Kathy?" Klaus asked, thinking Harris was behind her tears again. "I can never fool you, can I?" Katherine asked as she sat on one of the two empty chairs opposite Klaus while Jason sat on the other with the case files in his hands. "Well…mom found out the truth." She replied briefly. She took her time and explained to Klaus all Luna Rosette's cunning moves towards her up until the moment she was slapped. "I'm sorry." Klaus apologized as he stretched his hands and gently stroked Katherine's hurt cheeks. "You didn't do anything." Katherine mumbled before she decided to talk about the reason she was actually t
Katherine felt sick to her stomach when she heard the Luna's statement. This was the one thing she was desperately trying to hide from her mom but in the end, she couldn't even get the chance to tell her the truth by herself."Katherine, come and sit with me." Luna Rosette urged as she quickly went and pulled Katherine to sit on the couch where she was seated. "Your mom was so shocked when I told her about your wedding ceremony to my son. Didn't you tell her about it?" Luna Rosette asked as she ogled into Katherine's eyes, a sly smirk dangling on her lips. Katherine looked towards her mother and they locked eyes immediately because Mrs. Reynolds was staring at her all along. An awkward silence ensued and Katherine could see the anger and fear in her mother's eyes. All she needed to do at the moment was to send the Luna away and have a good talk with her mom."Did you discuss that with your son? We met earlier this morning, you should have mentioned you were going to see my mom." K
