"Oh my God! Who's there?" I was shocked as I noticed a movement in the thick bushes behind me. It was dark at night and I found myself in the middle of a thick forest without the slightest clue of where I was.This can't be happening. I only had a torchlight with me to see my way in such darkness. I was on full alert as I tried to be brave, pointing the torchlight around without much panic. Suddenly, out of the bushes came two black wild animals that I couldn't make out their identity on time. They were glaring at me with gritted teeth, turns out they were wolves. I became terrified and almost fainted on the spot, realizing I had no where to run or hide. Just then, I got the shock of my life when they started acting strange and sounds of bones cracking could be heard. Both of them were trying to straighten themselves in an awkward, humanly manner. What was going on?
Voir plusJumping back, I bowed my head. I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't realize it was you. I told him. He must have been on a perimeter run. He rises up, shaking the bits of leaves off of his fur. He walked towards me, using his snout to lift my head.He licks a spot above my eye that I assume was bleeding. When did that happen?Don't worry, babe. Nice job by the way.His words float through my mind and my wolf shivers. I started to walk through the trees and towards my back pack. Elijah grabs his bag from a tree near by and follows behind me.I shift, curling behind a tree. I hear him shift too. "How did you get to me so fast? And where's Cliff?" He asks, coming around the tree, slipping a shirt over my head. I pulled out a pair of underwear from my bag and slipped them on.I closed my eyes and opened them quick. "No idea." I told him with a laugh. He laughed in response. "That was some try. C'mon, let's get your cut cleaned up," I frowned, no clue as to how I got it. "CLIFF. Pack house." He shou
"Gosh, I haven't had that much fun in such a long time." I told them all, drying my hair with my towel as we walked in through the pack house doors. Elijah laughs and soon everyone inculding me, were laughing too. We couldn't help but be happy. "Glad we could contribute, babe. I'll see you guys in a few hours, Alpha stufff to take care of." Elijah told us, kissing my forehead before walking upstairs to his office."I'm gonna get changed. Be down in a bit." I told them and skipped upstairs with Rebekah quietly behind me. She walks off down the hall to her room. I reached mine and closed the door behind me. I started stripping off my wet bathing suit, letting it fall to the ground with a sloppy thud. I dried the rest of my body before putting on my underwear and bra. I rustled through my drawers and pulled out a T-shirt and Joel's carebear boxers. Sometimes I wonder what he watches on his own time. I shook my head, pulled my hair into a clip and walked downstairs."I'd say you're about
I was currently in my room searching for a bathing suit. I wasn't chubby anymore, I had absolutely no fat. I was pure skin and muscle, and yet I was still self-concious.After years of being called a cow, a waste of space, a fatass, well it shouldn't surprise me how insecure I get. But there's even times when I tried not to eat, thinking that it would help me lose weight but to no avail.Each and everytime I tried, I get caught and growled at by either Elijah, Joel or Cliff. My weight is my blind spot according to them. I find myself shaking my head dismissively at the thought. "Aha." I say suddenly, reaching for the smooth fabric of my navy blue bikini. I wiggle my hips in victory, a smile printed on my face. I closed the bathroom door behind me as I stepped onto the cool tiles of the floor. I slipped the T-shirt over my head and slipped on the bikini top. There was no design on it, just like the bikini bottoms I slipped on. I bundled my previous clothes in my hand and walked back int
(Katerina's POV)The following morning, I realized I had woken up late. Shit. I wanted to find a chance to call Mr. Daniel but the boys were already at my door, asking me out for breakfast. And then, we were going to the training field. It was almost time. I watched as Elijah waited for me in the middle of the training field, ready to go. "You're sure you want this?" He smirks. "I'm sure. Let's go." I said, attempting to sound sexy yet monotone. It was game on. I narrowed my eyes, embracing my inner wolf and we charged for each other. "What just happened?" Elijah asks, his back on the grass. I wasn't sure who he was asking, he was just staring at the sky with heavy breaths.I took a deep breath of my own."I can't believe you beat the Alpha." Joel says, his mouth open. I looked over at him, releasing my foot from Elijah's chest. I closed Joel's mouth with a smile. "You'll catch flies." I told him and patted his cheek. He gaped again which made me laugh."Who are you, Katerina Bathas?"
The footsteps seemed to be getting closer and closer to my bedroom door. I kept wondering if one of the boys had spotted the reflection of my torchlight and felt I was still awake, so he was coming to check on me.After the last incident of the severe pains I went through that day, they had taken extra care of me. I was experiencing the kind of care that I never experienced in my former pack for years.Suddenly, I heard the nearby bathroom door open and after sometime, it was closed and the person seemed to be walking back towards the direction he had come from, without approaching my door. I felt relieved and attempted to bring out the book from where I had kept it. Unfortunately, the torchlight I had put between the pages slipped off as I was bringing out the book. I almost screamed out in frustration. It had taken me a long time to spot that particular page as I've been skimming through a lot of pages from the beginning that had many irrelevant information as regards my parents' de
As I opened the book, the first thing I saw sent shivers down my spine. It was an awful sight. There was an angry wolf tearing down a fellow werewolf's neck. Blood was everywhere in the pictures. I kept reading through the texts, turning from page to page but nothing was making sense to me about my parents' death.There was a particular rival pack that had an Alpha that had vowed to make sure he got revenge on my pack, years ago. His name wasn't mentioned. I didn't bother to read through his reasons because I was focused on anything related to my parents' death. As I kept turning the pages, I came across a strange text that once again terrified me: 'She has killed her parents with her own hands and she must not be allowed to live as well. She must not remember anything from this night. Do not fail me.' I immediately looked up the beginning of the page to see if the name of the person that had said this was stated. To my greatest disappointment, it wasn't. He was always referred to a
"Can you hear me? Katerina count to ten... breathe..."Elijah tells me and I start counting in my head. One... two... I groan again, relaxing another scream. Please!" I begged, my face and neck soaked with tears. "Start again, count again!" Elijah shouts at me. "One... two... three... four... five... six.." I was breathing heavily, my voice trailing off, my heartbeat slowing down before one last shot of pain ran through me. I opened my eyes slowly, no longer feeling any form of that pain. My eyes were stinging, I was wet from tears and sweat. "I don't..." I take a calming breath. "Elijah what just happened to me?" I asked him with wide watery eyes. Confusion settling in my stomach. "Katerina.. are you alright?" Joel rushes to me, kneeling at my side. I attempted to stand only to stumble down and onto his thighs. I wanted to get up. I didn't want to be on this floor. "I don't know what I am.." I looked between Joel, Cliff and Elijah."When I was in my former pack, rogues were always sca
(Katerina's POV) I've not had the time to go through the records yet. These new friends of mine were all over me, and I've not told anyone about my mission to find out who was responsible for the death of my parents. I needed to be careful with them for now. I needed to think it through. I needed energy from food and a bit of rest, so I could properly comprehend the contents and information in the records. I had been extremely exhausted for the past 1 week, getting to know the guys who haven't given me a spare time for myself, to comfortably go through the records of the war that led to my parents' death."Let's go again." I shout to Cliff as I stood up from the grass. "C'mon. Take a break for the day, you've been working non-stop for the past 1 week Kat." He told me enveloping me in a hug. "Yes, but that's what training is. Non-stop working out and training. " I told him pushing at his shoulder. Suddenly I was flat on my arse on the grass again. I groaned. "I wasn't ready." I told hi
Katerina's (P.O.V)In 4 days, unlike last time, I heard the first crack of a twig that wasn't done by me. I was far, far away from Ever Falls. I had shifted three times, back and forth to human and wolf as I travelled in and out of towns, through an unfamiliar path this time around. I didn't want to be found by anyone at all. I was now in my wolf form again, walking through the woods with the book containing the records, inside my duffel bag that was now being held with my teeth.I was very hungry and dehydrated, looking for something, anything to drink before I could have the strength and clear eyes to go through the records. I needed to eat too as I was very hungry, but just like last time, I could only manage some scanty edible plants that barely kept me alive.The crack had me whipping my head around, a growl erupting from deep inside my throat. I barked, as if to ask who's there. I wish I hadn't, because no sooner than I did, I was faced with three wolves. All in the formation of
I slipped through the crowd like I normally would, finally reaching the end and making my way down the hall to my left and towards my next class, ignoring all the insulting and degrading comments from some of my pack members who noticed me passing by.Then, there was this strange scent hitting me... it was strong and getting stronger. This strange scent might be that of my mate. Another wave of the scent hit me and I found myself smiling. And I was desperate to meet him. I turned around quickly, looking for the one behind the intoxicating scent. A shiver ran down my spine. He must be getting closer. And when I turned around once more, the scent was gone. I was instead met by the last person I would ever wish to be my mate, Jake, the biggest boy in class and a well known bully. He stood in front of me, backing me against a locker, one of his hands stretched out beside my face as he opened his mouth that almost got me suffocating with the bad mouth odour. "Listen up, Katerina." He be...
