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
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
(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?"
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
"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
Jumping 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 his fur. He walked towards me, using his snout to lift my head.He licked a spot above my eye that I assumed was bleeding. When did that happen? Don't worry, babe. Nice job by the way. His words float through my mind and my wolf shivered. I started to walk through the trees and towards my back pack. Elijah grabbed his bag from a tree nearby and followed behind me.I shifted, curling behind a tree. I heard him shift too. "How did you get to me so fast? And where's Cliff?" He asked, 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."
I held my breath as I saw the picture of a presumed male hand slicing through my mother's neck with a dagger. Only a hand. That was definitely not the hand of a little girl. Anyone who saw this should be sensible enough to know that I had been framed by someone who didn't wanted to be caught. I tried to remain calm as I saw my mother's terrified reaction, eyes widely opened as the bastard was taking her life. I saw my dad all tied up beside her, watching in horror, helplessly. I guess he might have tried to scream but his mouth was sealed. Ace my brother was no where to be found. I kept wondering if it was the culprit that had killed her along with his gang and asked one of his members to take this photo without showing his body, clothes or face. Then I remembered the text I read earlier, somewhere around this page; "Do not fail me". It seemed the actual culprit had sent these guys to kill my parents and they had taken this photo to show as proof of a job well done. I couldn't fin
I breathed out and felt his hips push against mine. I pressed my lips to his eagerly, my body grinding against his. We grabbed each other like we couldn't get enough. "You're mine." He growled. "Yes." I replied. We were all hands, all passion. Every touch sent shock waves through our body respectively, as we took things to the bed. He pulled away slightly, sliding his boxers down to his ankles, ripping them off completely. I gasped at his size. I never expected him to be this huge. His length scared the life out of me.We hit the sheets with a perfect flop and rolled around, our bodies entertwining. My moans matched his and things got faster and more intense. "Katerina." He moaned my name, ready to drive into me, threatening to release everything inside me. "I love you." He breathed into my ear."I love you too."And I closed my eyes, our lips meet once more.Only for me to wake up again, for real this time.I was breathing heavily, my body drenched in sweat and my face beat red. Elija
I rushed to my bedroom, opened the door looking around, itching to see him. It took not even a second. "Elijah!" I shouted and ran to meet him, catching him off guard. He puts me against the wall and I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his face down to mine. He didn't even have time to gasp before I crashed my lips to his with sudden urgency and need.He held onto me, responding slowly, which I'm guessing it's because he was confused. I pulled away and hopped off of him. He was breathing heavily, running his hand through his 'just had sex' hair. I smiled. "Sorry... It's just."I told him about what Rebekah had done, and she was right. He wanted to kill her. I told him it was okay, leaving out the part about my gift until now. "I want to show you something." I told him, excitedly. He nodded.I extended my hand, palm facing the ceiling, placed between the both of us. I swirled my fingers around in circles, cupping and curling my fingers, urging what I wanted to happen, and prayin
"You're a bitch but I love you." I said and she laughed. "Why thank you. Shall we practice some more?" She smirked and I laughed, shaking my head. "I'm beat and seriously starving. Let's head back." I grinned at her and she nodded before taking my hand and we began walking back to the pack house, talking about idea for a new pack house that was desperately needed.We reached the pack house and I rushed to the kitchen, grabbing an apple and literally devouring it before grabbing another. I was starving, I didn't eat breakfast and all my energy have been sucked out of me due to last night's activities and this morning's as well.I grinned into my second apple. I couldn't believe I was able to create something so beautiful, that I can control something so beautiful: Winter. That's how it felt anyway. Rebekah just smirked at me. I was about to say something but her eyes turned sad and I watched her body slum."What's wrong?" I mouthed to her."Joel and Tamara are coming." She said, her vo
(Alpha Damien's POV)"Dragon or whatever you call yourself, your time is running out. When I paid you more than you asked for, I didn't expect things to take this long before you deliver that girl, along with my book of records, into my hands. I do hope you have positive news for me today, else...." "Oh yes, great Alpha. And I apologise that it has taken this long. Two of my men and I had to try really hard to avoid any suspicion as we went all the way to that pack.First of all, we tried to appear like normal visitors to the pack but the pack is now being heavily protected. The chief security guard refused us entry because we smelt like rogues of course. So we had to quickly think of another plan.As they began threatening to deal with the three of us if we ever came back, we beckoned on the chief security guard that we wanted to discuss something with him. He was reluctant at first, but finally, he listened to us. We told him that we were looking for a young girl below the age of t
I tried to eat, hoping this time he'll keep his hand away but knowing he won't. I listened to the idle chit chat around the table, Rebekah and Mrs. Moore were discussing possible re-decorating ideas for the kitchen. Cliff and Joel were discussing the scores of some sports game, no idea if it's hockey or basketball or what not. I began to chew slowly, trying to ignore the need I'm feeling. He gripped my thigh suddenly, causing me to gasp again. Elijah's father catches my eyes and I smiled quickly."Are you feeling alright?" He asked with a frown.Elijah grinded his palm... there. It felt good against my jean shorts. I squirmed in my seat, shoving his hand away but not really wanting to. I felt my face heat up. How could he be doing this while his father is right here beside me though! He pushed deeper, taking no precautions and I spread my legs, making it easier. I started breathing heavily and hid it by taking a drink of water. Realizing this, he took my hand and placed it over his e
"I'll show you." Ace piped up, a slight sad smile on his face. I nodded."Untamed, let's go. Ace, lead the way." Elijah's voice is stronger than Kol's, it's obvious. I felt calm again. Ace led us throughout the upstairs hallways. "We don't have enough rooms at the moment for singles, so people will have to double up."Do you want a few seconds to think about the arrangements?" Ace asked, his voice muffled and nervous. "Yes, that would be helpful. Thank you." Elijah appreciated him, shaking his hand. "It's no problem. We rearranged it so that the left hallway is yours, and our pack is to the right.We doubled up too. Take all the time you need." He told him. I grabbed Ace's hand and squeezed it, his eyes meeting mine for a second.He turned to head back downstairs. "Alright, listen up. Mates and families get the doors at the end of the hallway, people who are doubling up with friends or others take the ones in the middle. Betas, Tamara, Rebekah, Katerina and I will have the rooms at the
Joel pulled her closer to him and kissed her. "It's okay baby. We'll all handle this together." He said and Tamara nodded at him before meeting my eyes again."I am strong, just like you all tell me. And I feel like I am capable of more than we all realize." I told her, smiling, again looking into the eyes of my new family.Rebekah winked at me and I smirked. I had no idea at the moment just how strong though, I thought grumpily to myself. The thought of my mission to avenge the death of my parents crossed my mind, but I shook it off. Now wasn't the time to think about that. Let's settle down first.On a side note, is this place even going to be big enough for us?" Cliff asked. "I was thinking about that too. Two packs in one pack house.. not so smart and not so roomy. We should start looking for something bigger, there's gotta be at least 100 from our pack alone, right?" I asked, looking up at Elijah. "Yeah, something like that." He replied."Well then we should start looking tomorro
"Clear the room." His voice is strong, demanding. Everyone starts to leave the room, quietly obeying. He closed the door behind him. Renee is beside him. My wolf cowers herself away in the back of my mind, scared by his voice. I looked up, meeting the bone-chilling stare from my former Alpha."Where did you go?" Kol snapped.I flinched, eyes to the floor on instinct and into Elijah's arms again. Figured all my strength disappeared. Cliff and Joel came to stand beside us, Elijah lifted my chin up, "there is no need to hide." My lips parted. And I turned steadily to meet Kol's gaze."Where the fuck did you go Katerina?" He snapped, light flashing through his eyes to show his anger. I heard Cliff growl in response but Kol's eyes doesn't leave mine. They travelled down my entire body and back up into my eyes."I ran. Like I should have done years ago." I stated, glaring back at him with a new sense of courage."I know you ran, we felt it when you left!"He growled, his voice alone showing
I stood tall and as strong as I could. Of course, loud whispers and gasps erupt in the room. "Hi everyone." I said in a small voice. I looked around, meeting everyone's eyes with a smile. Mr. Daniel was present in the room as well, secretly waving at me. When I saw him sitting far away, I smiled briefly before turning away to continue looking around the room for someone else.When I caught sight of my brother, his face lit up in confusion and happiness. He looked sick. His skin pale, his body too slim. He looked like he needed a shave too. Oh, Ace. What happened to you? His face showing pain and regret.He stood forcefully, rushing towards me and pulling me into his arms. "Is it really you?" He asked, his voice cracking."Yes. It's really me, Ace." I said, my eyes flowing with tears."You look so.... different..." He sobbed, pulling away to look at me properly. I nodded."I know. But it's me. It's really me." I gripped him tighter.Elijah pulled me away from him, growling and envelope
"It's nice to meet you Renee." He shook her hand. "I'm Alpha Elijah. These are my Betas. Cliff and Joel. This here is Joel's girlfriend Tamara, our friend Rebekah, and..."He scratched the back of his neck. Way to play it cool. I rolled my eyes. "This is my girlfriend, Katerina." He said, and I took the opportunity to pop my head out of his arm a bit and half-smiled at her.She was about speaking, her jaw opened slightly, not understanding. And then she ripped me away from Elijah and pulled me into a hug, crying. My eyes rimmed with tears too. Oh, Ren."I missed you so much. I.. we..all thought you were dead. Why did you write me that letter?" She sobbed and smacked my arm hard. I looked at her and her sad eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked me. I nodded, smiling slightly and she pulled me into her arms again. "I'm fine Renee, really. I'm happy." I told her and Elijah pulled me back into his arms, kissing my hair.She smiled at me. "Good. I'm so happy you're safe. Kol... he hasn't told an
