Katie's POV 'I thought you said you could sense danger?' I urgently asked Kath. 'But there isn't one!' She defended. 'What do you mean there isn't one? A beast is slowly creeping its way..' I was suddenly too stunned to continue what I was about to say. My mind suddenly pictured that deformed and scary, short-sized monster that I saw years ago. The prohibited forest, which turns out to be the southern domain of a vampire monarch. Which happens to be the freaky aunt of my mate! That vivid scenario wherein that creature saw me and smiled ever so creepily.. Me trying to escape, but then it jumped in my direction.. ‘Katie! Katie! Calm the heck down! I’m here! You’re strong now!!!’ Kath snapped me out of my dark imaginations, and the scenario in my head immediately flashed forward to Vladimyr. The one who saved me back then. He was there to kill the monster that I was so afraid of with such ease. To the point that I even idolized him and want to be like him when I grow up. I alwa
Katie’s POV ‘What do you mean it belongs to me? Your life belongs to you, Fenrir. Don’t waste it!’ I huffed. I do appreciate him saying those words. Only.. We just met, and he is being overprotective too! I really remember my brother in him. By saying those things, I already know that he meant he would shield me from any harm that came my way. Now, I don’t want to be the young girl who always needs to be protected! I want to fight alongside the people I cherish. ‘As I said, I’ve been waiting for you for quite a long time. I’m only here because of you.’ ‘Why me?’ ‘You are destined for great things, master. Even far greater than your ancestors.’ Now, I do not like the sound of that.. Whenever that line comes out in movies or novels, there’s for sure so much chaos!! ‘Would a war commence?’ I sadly asked. Fenrir was silent for a moment, but he judged that it was better to tell me the truth. ‘War is indeed coming, master. It cannot be prevented, no matter what.’ ‘I just want peace
Katie’s POV The twins sulked the next morning when they heard we went out on a run. “How dare you gatekeep Katie, Vlad!!!” Tori tantrumed. Rori hugged her and glared at his brother. Vlad teased his siblings even more by giving them further details about what happened. “Then, Fenrir rolled over and almost smushed Katie–’ He did not continue what he was about to say because Tori’s hair fumed in flames. Literally.. “What!?” She shrieked and almost burned the table. Since we are currently having breakfast,. Vlad instinctively snapped his fingers to coat the table and us with bloodlust. Nothing much happened, but.. “S-shit..” Tori stammered, and she anxiously looked at me. I immediately stood up and strided my way to her. Since she is in front of me, “You okay, Tori??” “D-don’t come near me!!” She yelled, and I flinched. My feet were glued to the ground due to the shock of her sudden yelling. She gasped as she looked at my concerned face. Then she ran away without teleporting as tear
Katie’s POVA few weeks swiftly passed, and I’m actually having a blast staying here at my new home.The twins kept on tutoring me every day, and Vlad kept on trying to steal me every chance he got. Fenrir is still ordered by Vlad to keep watch, and sometimes we get to get together whenever there’s a new wave of the undead. Which is like today..“Fenrir!! Control your strength and aim only at the undead!” I yelled because we kept getting swamped with his pheromones. I’m fine with it, but the other vampires aren’t. Maybe this is why he is always mostly alone.Vlad frowned since he took in a huge whiff of Fenrir’s scent. “Uuggh. I want to vomit.”“Hey! Your bloodlust stinks too!!” Fenrir roared at him. I placed my hand in Vladimyr’s direction and tried to purify the air around him. Vlad was taken aback, since now he is smelling my scent. He turned his head to me and uttered, “Much better,” while winking at the same time. I looked away and blushed, to which he chuckled. “Beautiful.”Ev
Katie’s POV I widely opened my mouth and gasped. Suddenly remembering about the letter. “But! I’m mad!!” I sulked, and he was genuinely taken aback. “What? Why?” “The letter! “What letter?” “That aunt of yours is coming here! Why didn’t you tell me?” After that exchange, his jaw dropped. As if he really forgot. “Shit. That’s right. Damn it.” He cursed, and I furrowed my brows. He looked at me and said, “I’m not cursing at you, Katie.” Lucifer chuckled and mocked Vlad. “You really are no match with Katie.” My mate was suddenly in a rush to call Sebastian. “It’s still a month from now, Vlad,” I reminded and he shook his head. “Aunt Celeste is unpredictable. She could even visit tomorrow.” He clicked his tongue. My jaw dropped with what he said. Was not even ready to meet that psycho aunt of theirs in a month. How much more if she suddenly pops out tomorrow! Vladimyr muttered our butler’s name, and Sebastian instantly appeared in front of us. I didn’t even blink yet! “How’s
Katie’s POV“How nice of you to receive me, my Lord.” Celeste elegantly slides her arm off Vlad’s once they entered the castle to offer a polite curtsy.‘Wow, what a pretentious one. Like she didn’t just try to kill us only months ago..’ Kath mumbled. Could feel Vlad and Lucifer trying their best not to laugh because of my wolf’s side remarks. It turns out our thoughts are connected too, so they can also hear Kath.“Of course, Viscountess.” Vlad said. “We are still relatives, after all.”The twins grimaced at what he said, and Celeste started to lecture Tori about not using her powers too much. As if she had abused it in the first place. Victoria was even beyond scared to see as much of a sparkling fire in her fingertips.The little girl tried to rebut and talk back to Celeste, but her twin stopped her. Subtly shaking his head no as if telling her to just accept all of it, so that the talk would die down immediately. Victoria frowned throughout their whole talk in the living room. Cel
Katie’s POV"Damn, that man’s spell is surely difficult to uncast.” Celeste clicked her tongue as she pushed me inside the carriage. That was after she successfully countered Vladimyr’s power over me.The others suddenly popped out in front of us, but Celeste placed her fingers on my neck. Daring them to take a step closer to us. Just like what she did to Tori. Only, much harsher and brutal as my blood is leaking out. Not a drop, but really..really leaking out. Celeste gasped when she smelled my blood and almost licked it, but Vladimyr snapped his fingers to erase any trace of thick red liquid and closed the wound. That gave Celeste time to murmur another spell to the horse and carriage. As I have understood based on what Celeste proudly bragged, it is to make Vladimyr and the others confused and lost while finding me.Before we disappeared from their sight, Vladimyr managed to send a telepathy: ‘Whatever you do, do not let her drink your blood. Don’t eat or drink anything she offers
Katie’s POV“Myrri’s always been the golden child.” She chuckled bitterly. “The beloved. Everyone’s favorite. Only, all of it changed because she just had to open her mouth and confront father.”Celeste’s face darkened, but there was a slight hint of happiness in it. She looked at me before continuing, “She learned the truth about your kind’s banishment. That all of them were future Lunas that could communicate with their wolves.”I gulped. Blinked a couple of times and uttered. “What?” Why didn’t anyone tell me? Is this one of the conversations Khalid had with Mama during the Mating Ball? The reason why mama called Alpha Fredrick a monster? If so, then it all makes sense. How many years has it been going? I only fear that it has been as long as before I was even born. Wait..WAIT.Lady Myrri learned of this dark, twisted truth when she was still in the South, still a teenager. Vlad is a century and five decades old..So..It had been going on since our ancestors’ time. Or even wors
Katie’s POV“Could you at least give me five minutes to recuperate?” Vlad sighed. “Tori really made me go all out again. Plus, I am pretty sure you will be doing the same thing.”“Exactly why we need to do this now!” Rori evilly snickered as he elegantly turned around to face me. “Now, does our Lady referee agree with me?”Vlad looked at me, pleadingly. I looked at him with sorry eyes and patted his shoulder. “Well, it is the Lord’s duty to train the future ruler, right?”“My Love!”“Yes!”Both of them yelled but with different tones and enthusiasm. Vladimyr playfully narrowed his gaze at me while Rori gave me a fist bump.Well, my brother-in-law’s fist bump in exchange of my mate’s teasing glares is worth it though.“But let us make Tori comfortable first.” I said as I asked Sebastian to get a chair for my little sister. Once she was seated, our butler gave her one blood animal wine for her to enjoy and replenish her strength. Vlad and Rori helped by giving a drop of their blood.Onc
Katie’s POVBoth of us snapped back to focus on the fight when we heard some powerful crackles.Victoria’s eyes glinted with a playful ferocity, her fangs peeking out as she smirked at Vladimyr. "Come on, brother, is that all you’ve got?" she taunted, her voice laced with a dare. She held her hands out, and a circle of fire spun to life around her, casting a warm glow that made her look almost ethereal. Now, she is just riling up said brother. And here I thought they do not want him to go all out, but I guess they’d rather lose than win with pity. I know that because I am the same. But still, from their point of view, it really is frustrating if you cannot beat a strong opponent. Although, in tough times it makes you feel proud and secure because you know that the very same spar opponent will protect you ‘til the very end; will do anything and just about everything to keep his loved ones safe.Oh dear. I am now seriously just gushing over my mate.I heard Vladimyr chuckled darkly. Un
Katie’s POV“Can I?” He mumbled. Hot breath fanning across my face as he towered over me. My lips were shaking but I responded.. Maybe a little bit too eager. Hoping I wasn’t that obvious because in my head, it really sounds like I’m begging and waiting for it my entire life. “Y-yes. I want you to.”He growled. Too deeply and dark and his pupils dilated. His hands on my waist and he is almost burying his nails. Almost. How I wish he really did. I moaned at that thought. “Careful with your words, omega.” Then, he rutted against me. Oh. Oh. I could feel his erected bulge. So strong. So hard. This is heaven on earth, indeed. My head is filled with muddled thoughts of him finally staking his claim on me.And it is merely dry humping that makes me think and feel this way…Good Goddess what had become of me?At one specific delicious thrust, I moaned and he grunted. Both of us are now panting. Like beasts in heat. But barely there yet. It seems like he won’t go all the way.. I whined, h
Katie’s POVThe twins were about to cheer when Vladimyr’s deep voice cut them off. “Absolutely not!”I sighed and crossed my arms. Here we go again.. “And why is that?”“You still need rest, omega.” He tried to argue with a stern voice. Normally, I would let go and do what he wants, but really, my bum hurts, and I really wanted to go for a walk. Even more so to see them spar! I felt like it had been eons since I'd set my foot on the ground.‘Talk about being so dramatic.’ My wolf snickered. I snorted and shot back, ‘Hey! You have been complaining too!’‘I know, I know. And you’re right. I wanna stretch my legs and go for a run, but our mate is being so overprotective..again.’ She whimpered.‘Kath, he meant no harm. Besides, mates are supposed to be overprotective.’ I giggled internally, and she rolled her eyes. ‘Now look who’s protecting whom.’ Kath chuckled as she slowly rested at the back of my mind. I turned to said overprotective mate and genuinely smiled. Even went as far as to fl
Katie's POVA gentle murmur reached my ears, pulling me out of the haze. My body felt heavy, yet there was a sense of warmth, a safe cocoon enveloping me. I blinked my eyes open, the world still blurry around the edges as I tried to focus on the voices surrounding me.“Sssh. We shouldn’t be too loud! Hence you will wake her! And I will kill you both if she is interrupted from her rest!” Tori. Her high-pitched whisper was unmistakable, laced with excitement. I could almost imagine her bouncing on her toes and fisting her tiny cute hands.“Oh please, Tori. You are the one who’s too loud,” came Rori’s voice, sounding slightly annoyed but amused. I smiled faintly, letting the familiarity of their banter ground me. But then another, deeper voice cut through, firm and authoritative. “I believe I told the two of you to hush or else scram. You are disturbing my Lady’s rest.” Vladimyr. I felt my heart flutter at the sound of his voice, smooth yet protective. I wanted to reach out, to say so
Katie’s POVThe air crackled with energy as Vlad’s voice echoed through the chamber, powerful and unyielding. My heart soared at the sight of him, my fierce protector, the love of my life. My mate and my heart… yet dread lurked in the back of my mind.Fear. Anxiousness.What if this was his plan all along? To use me as bait just so he could get Vladimyr? Or.. Lucifer?Thalion merely smirked, seemingly unfazed by Vlad’s entrance.“Oh, how touching,” Thalion taunted, folding his arms with a mockingly amused expression. “You have come to save your little wolf. But tell me, Lucifer, how does it feel to have so much to lose? So much to lose, again?”Vladimyr stepped forward, his blood red eyes blazing with rage as Lucifer took over. “You do not get to play with her, Thalion. This ends now.”With a sudden movement, Thalion raised his hand, summoning dark tendrils of shadow that snaked toward Lucifer like vipers. They lunged at him, aiming to ensnare him in their grasp. But with a swift moti
Katie’s POV“Stop calling me that!” I hissed. Thalion merely chuckled and eyes wide in amusement. Clearly having fun with riling me up. Which in turn, frustrates the hell out of me. My thoughts raced as I glared at Thalion, trying to keep calm despite the fear twisting inside me. Every word he spoke dripped with calculated malice, designed to unnerve me, to plant seeds of doubt and dread. I clenched my fists, focusing on the here and now, even as questions clawed at my mind. What secrets was he talking about? What unfinished business did he have with Lucifer? I hope I will live long as to know and hear the reason from Vlad and Luci themselves.As Thalion took a step closer, I felt the cold emanating from him, a chill that seeped into my very bones. “You are brave. I will give you that, you mutt.” he mused, tilting his head slightly as if examining a curious specimen. As if I were just an entertainment to him. “I see why Vladimyr.. Lucifer, is so taken with you. But bravery has its li
Katie’s POVWhat on earth did he mean by that? How could that happen? Is such a thing even possible? Lucifer was… his?The weight of the man’s words sank into my mind, twisting and turning, creating cracks in the reality I thought I knew. I turned to Vladimyr, my heart pounding erratically. His presence flared beside me, his body rigid with tension. I could feel his rage building, growing stronger with every second that passed. But.. there was also a tad bit of vulnerability there. His deep, dark voice vibrated through the air, a growl that sent chills down my spine, “Shut up!”But the man—or figure—or whatever it was, didn’t move. He stood there with a sinister smirk, his eyes fixed on Vladimyr as if relishing the power he held in that single moment. His dark form seemed to pulse with ancient magic, something older than Vladimyr, something dangerous. “Why?” His voice was soft, mocking, “Afraid that this weak wolf might leave you, huh? Just like how all of your so-called ‘heart’ or ‘m
Katie’s POV“How on devil’s breath did they get this far without any of us noticing!?” Vlad nearly growled at Sebastian whilst both of us stood up from our seats quickly. We were about to teleport but Sebastian spoke.“He is here, my Lord.”Those five words were enough to halt and freeze my mate. I looked at him in confusion and for the first time since I saw him, he actually looked so troubled. Like really really troubled as if he is concerned of what I might think or say…“Vlad? Who is it?” I gently cooed. Trying to be mindful of his reactions and emotions. I don’t want to mess this up and scare him away instead of confiding in me.“No one.” He hissed as he looked away and we both knew that whatever or whoever is this is not a mere “no one” and he is obviously lying. Anyone could see that with the way he moved and the way he won’t even meet my gaze. I still looked at him though, searching for his eyes and silently begging for him to grace me with his attention. But he merely tells
