KATIEI was beyond stunned at the way I was being treated like a queen. Well, I guess that I was technically a queen, but still. It was so surreal. If anyone had ever told me that the werewolf kind that used to bully me a lot when I was a kid because of my lack of a wolf would be calling me Luna one
KATIEThe both of us stared at the TV in disbelief as the newscasters kept reporting on the body that had been discovered in the woods just this evening. Dominic kept flipping through the news channels, even the international ones, and found that the topic was a headline on each and every one of the
Dominic’s eyes widened a bit. “Are you serious?”I nodded at him. I could feel them, the tiny little creatures. There had started moving and had perhaps kicked a bit too hard causing me pain. But now they were still again. “The pain has stopped,” I said. “They’ve calmed down.”Dominic seemed a lot c
KATIEKATIE’S POVDominic’s message was received with murmurs from the rest of the Council. I looked at each of their faced. Only Bristow remained silent while the rest of them whispered to each other in hushed tones casting doubtful looks at us. I wasn’t so thrilled by the reception that this news
“Dominic,” I said again, this time firmer. He turned but on looking at me, his glare softened. “Sit down. You’ll only make things worse if you take it further.”Dominic looked like that was the last thing he wanted to do. He looked like he would rather challenge Bristow to a duel right there and the
XANDERThe pieces were finally falling into place. I smiled as I reclined on my seat. I looked around at my surroundings, an equal combination of impression and distaste at the highly modernized structure and furniture of the building. Well, not exactly the building, but rather the room I was in.Al
But my smile wiped off my face when Bristow asked Dominic to introduce Katie. I didn’t realize that my glass had shattered in my hand from me holding it too tightly till I felt the cool blood running down my hand. I tried to convince myself that I hadn’t heard right, that it was all something my inc
XANDERThe plan was falling into place. My status and reputation among the citizens of the city was changing slowly but surely, thanks to the aggressive media visibility I had put myself through. I was pretty confident that I had this election in the bag. I also now had the members of the Wolf Coun

KATIE'S POV I knew that it would all turn chaotic real fast, but I still wasn't prepared for the level of chaos and violence that had broken out in such a short amount of time. Once Xander had unleashed his vampire warriors on the people Dominic, who had been anticipating such a move, rallied his o
KATIEThe reunion between me and Dominic, Dustin and Damien was nothing short of emotional. I had not seen them in months by now, and it was all so exciting seeing them and touching them . Especially as there were times where I had feared that I would never see them again. They had missed me as much
I collapsed to the ground, clutching my throat and gulping and coughing till it hurt. "That is the only warning I'm going to give you," Xander said from somewhere above me. "I mean the nerve of you, to think you could try to change me. If you even think of trying to manipulate me again, this will
KATIE'S POVThe words I had screamed out rang in the air, almost seeming to echo. Xander stopped in his tracks immediately, stunned by what I had said. "W-what…what did you just say?" he asked, his hand tightening on my wrist even as he was no longer forcefully groping and undressing me."I did. I-
Once I had the letter safely in my clothes, I patted her in consolation. "Don't worry ma'am. I'll find a way."And then I left.Power affects everyone, even the kindest and humblest of men. Makes them do things they usually wouldn't, hurt people, destroy things. Power in the hands of Xander Thane wa

KATIE'S POVThe vampire world was becoming more and more familiar to me as the weeks crawled by. That was not a statement that I ever in my dreams imagined that I would even be making. Before all of this, the vampire world had seemed to me like nothing but a mere, distant thought. Now, I was entrenc
