Katie’s POVAfter that tense breakfast, the air in the manor felt heavier..It was as though the weight of unspoken words and unshed tears had settled into the very walls. I found myself wandering aimlessly, unsure of what to do next. The twins had retreated to their rooms, no doubt trying to process the revelation, while Vladimyr disappeared somewhere—probably to brood in solitude or revel in his newfound role as the household’s resident enigma.I, on the other hand, couldn’t sit still. My thoughts churned like a storm, each one colliding with the next, leaving me restless and exhausted. Kath was unusually quiet, the opposite of her cheerful mood just a while ago.. Which only made the silence around me feel louder. It was as though even she didn’t know how to handle this new version of Vladimyr. Or maybe I’m just overthinking, and my wolf simply needs time and rest.Even I am in need of that.But that is that, and I still need to attend to my duties. So I had no choice but to drag my
Katie’s POVIt was breakfast time, and I hadn’t eaten for a day, so of course I headed down the hall. All of them were there already. Vladimyr, Sebastian, Miranda, and even the twins. Wait.. do the twins know already that their frustrating brother forgot about me?Tori and Rori’s eyes sparkled when they saw me.Yeah. Nope. They didn’t know yet.“Katie!” Victoria rose to her seat and ran towards me. “You didn’t tell us Vladimyr was already awake! We were surprised when we saw him just this morning!”Oh Tori.. If only you knew.“But that’s weird.” Rori frowned. “We usually can detect things like this but..” He looked at his older brother, who’s so busy with his medium rare steak, by the way, and raised one of his eyebrows. “Wait.. how come Vladimyr didn’t wait for you?”I sighed and held Victoria’s hand as we walked towards the dining table. “I don’t really know where to start and how to tell you guys.”Vladimyr chuckled in jest. “Just plainly tell them.”Victoria, Goddess bless her in
Katie’s POVI didn’t even notice I dozed off until Vladimyr woke me up. Mind you, he is mad as hell.“Why and what on earth are you still doing here in my bed?” He flatly said as he lightly shook my shoulder.“I dozed off.” I stretched my arms, and he grunted when I hit his face.“Yeah, no kidding ‘bout that.” He stepped back and tilted his head. Motioning for me to get out of the bed.I rolled my eyes as I silently did as told. Why is he being so stingy!?We looked at each other for one whole minute. None of us spoke a single word. Until he finally couldn’t take the silence anymore and said, “I really am trying my best to hold off my anger, you know. But best believe me, I had my limits.”Appalled, I gasped and slightly leaned my head back. “Oh? And can you indulge me as to why, in the Goddess’ name, you are mad then?”“You. An unknown species is here—”“Species!? How dare you call me that?” Even Kath scoffed at his rudeness!“Well, I do not know who you are—”“I am your mate!” I sho
Katie’s POV“You.. you are kidding, right?” I asked. Even went as far as laughing just so he can finally say that this is just a prank.How could he forget about me? How could he just forget about everything we’ve been through?Vladimyr ignored me as he tried to push me off of him. But did I let him?No! Of course not!That seemed to tick him off as he grunted in frustration. I mean… he’s this great vampire, Lord of the North and everything but he cannot remove one woman or wolf off of him.Now that sounds a bit funny even to me.Goddess, I can’t believe I can still manage to make some jokes even in these situations..I was startled when he suddenly yelled for Sebastian. Mind you, he even used his commanding tone. “Sebastian!”I chuckled. “You did not just call our butler!”“Our butler? Who are you to—Sebastian! Lift this woman off of me! Right now!” He struggled to form a sentence as I went as far as to hug him tight.Well, he is huggable.The moment Sebastian arrived, he immediately
Katie’s POVThe moment we arrived at the castle, the twins, Sebastian and Miranda, crowded us. It seemed like they were waiting for us by the doors. Their faces were full of worry towards my mate.“What in the devil's name happened to him?” Tori asked as her twin brother looked ahead. “Where’s that monster? Did you guys defeat it?”I defeatedly shook my head as I motioned for Sebastian to help me transfer Vladimyr towards our room. The butler nodded and took him as the twins teleported me back.We carefully placed an unconscious Vladimyr in the bed. As I caressed his cheeks and hair, I released my pheromones in hopes of healing him. The other vampires in the room are at least meters away from us so that they couldn’t smell my pheromones… since, I do not have much strength to control my scent, they are the ones who adjust for me.“So.. that hybrid who threw me away? Where is it?” Victoria asked once again. This time, Fenrir—who had transformed back into his cutesy form moments ago befo
Katie’s POVI hit the ground hard, the impact knocking the air out of me. My vision blurred as I tried to sit up straight, my body screaming in protest and agony. How many times have I experienced pain with this night alone?Kath whimpered and groaned within me. Both from the impact and stinging agony that I was physically hurt.Fenrir yelped as he rolled to a stop a few feet away from me. Before I could move to check on him, Vladimyr appeared beside me in a blur, his face grim. “This thing is stronger than we anticipated, Katie.” he muttered, helping me to my feet.“I fear that it is learning,” I said, wiping blood from my lip. “Every move we make, it’s adapting. Which makes it all the more frustrating and hard to deal with compared with any other enemies we faced. Even Thalion is easy to deal with compared with this monster.”“Can.. hear.. you..” The hybrid rose to its feet, its wounds already beginning to close.Okay, what.. the actual fuck is this? It heals much quicker than an
