When he got very close to me, he removed his hat to fully reveal his identity. To my greatest surprise, he was the Alpha! The person that hated me most in this pack was my mate? I couldn't believe my eyes. 

He stood in front of me, backing me against a locker, one of his hands stretched out beside my face. He was very handsome with beautiful eyes. I wanted to touch him, I wanted him to touch me. I let out another breath. No, don't say it. And I hold myself together, not giving anything away.

"Listen carefully, Katerina." He begins, his voice so alluring. "You're not good enough to be a luna. Hell, I don't understand how you can call yourself a werewolf. You have to know by now that you're nothing in this pack. And I can't even begin to understand why I was paired with you as a mate." He slams his fist on the locker, right by my ear. And then, after drawing his breath, in a deeply chilling voice he states, "I formally reject you, Katerina Bathas, as my mate." And I watch as Kol Knight, my Alpha, turn his back on me like I don't even exist. I have a gut feeling I'm being watched and I find myself looking around frantically, my heart racing only to find no one, thankfully. And before I can stop myself, I take a deep breath and scream, desperately trying to find any form of release from this pain.

I fell to the floor, watching the crowd form around me, having heard my loud scream. There was laughter from the pack and mumbling from the outsiders. The tears that rimmed my eyes were now falling freely down my pale chubby cheeks. The hallways were now totally empty, and I was left alone. I was hyperventilating. I was just rejected by my mate, one that I've been looking forward to meeting for so long. My brother hates me, he practically blames me for our parents' death.

Everyone in this stupid school is set out to make me regret living. My own reflection made me angry and sad. I didn't believe them when they said I should have died with my parents. But now, I was starting to believe that too. Or worse, that I should have died instead of my parents.

I wiped away the tears from my face and scrambled up to a stand. Ignoring my backpack that lay on the ground, I sprinted out of the school doors, pushing past the assholes in the hall and back down the street until I felt the gravel rocks beneath my thin, worn out shoes. I slowed my walking into a fast speed walk as I past the familiar driveway. I stepped into the empty pack house, and holding onto the railing, stormed up the stairs skipping two steps each until I reached my door right above them. I burst through it, rummaging through the broken drawers of my broken dresser to take out the few clothes I did have and shove them into a duffel bag. I grabbed my mom and dad's picture from under the mattress that lay directly on the dirty floor, dusted it off, and placed in the duffel bag as well. I zipped it up, slummed it over my shoulder and sighed. 

One thing I had to do before I left was visit Renee's room. When I reached her white, flowery door, I stopped. New tears flooded my eyes. I wanted to inform her that I was leaving, but I couldn't leave now because I had no where to go. 

When I closed the pack house front doors behind me, I said to myself "I, Katerina Bathas, accepts your rejection." I felt a painful pull and I held in a whimper. Leaving this pack would make me a rogue wolf and I knew the Alpha, along with the whole pack would feel I was leaving. Not that they would care, I thought to myself as I approached the woods, desperate to get the hell away from here. I knew the instant I crossed from our territory, to an unknown one, I would feel another pang of pain, and so would the pack. Then would they know I was truly gone, not just from their pack but from this shitty ass town I can no longer call home. But I had to stay and see how much more I can bear all these agony. I couldn't afford to starve myself to death by leaving this pack now. I couldn't predict the dangers a weak and hungry wolf like me stands to face outside in the woods. I finally decided to just return home, in a miserable state.

******

"Alpha! There's an attack. Rogues are forcing their way into our pack, killing anyone in their way!" I heard the pack's alarm sound. It was the middle of the night, what was going on? Everyone was told to stay indoors as the Pack's security hurried to confront the rogues. 

The attack happened in the middle of the night. I was resting at home, having made up my mind that I couldn't stay here anymore with all these pains and suffering I was going through. Even if I had no where to go, even if I might get killed by wild animals that could prey on my wolf form, I didn't care anymore. I had to leave and this could be an opportunity to leave but at least Renee has to know I'm leaving. There was no time to draft her a letter now and I may be seen by one of the rogues and be killed, as I'm weak from starvation and hunger.

I heard a loud noise outside. I looked through the window and saw fire coming closer and closer. My brother must have left the house. I wanted to sneak away from a small path. Several roads out of the pack were blocked by rogues, leaving only one that seemed passable.

On the way, I kept walking fast, almost running as I was frantically looking around me. I saw several houses that were attacked, blood stains everywhere. 

"Katerina! Please help me!" 

Suddenly, someone called out to me for help, yelling my name in despair.

    It was a mother who was lingering on. She asked me to take her child away. I didn't want to care, but when I thought about losing my own parents when I was much younger, my heart softened. I met her badly injured almost at the point of death and with signs of rogues approaching, I quickly took the child away.Not long after, I passed by the home of a classmate who had bullied me. Their house was stained with blood. The girl fell in a pool of blood on the porch, her eyes wide open and out of focus. I wanted to turn around and not look at her eyes, but I felt that she was looking at me.Once, I was forbidden by the pack not to transform till I find my mate and my classmates laughed at me for this. If I said I didn't hate them, it would be a lie. But in the face of life and death, they were innocent. The further we went, the more brutal the battle became because the rogues attacked suddenly, the pack was not prepared in time and was obviously losing the unexpected battle.There was more

    He was immediately stopped in his tracks by Kol. "Katerina, I won't tolerate your insolence. Watch your tongue." "But she came to join the fight. She came here in her wolf form." Renee who was slightly injured, spoke out to defend me. "She's your friend, why wouldn't you defend her? But choose your next words carefully, otherwise, you will be dealt with.A werewolf fights in the face of danger, not attempt to fight in the face of danger. You can clearly see the difference, can't you, Katerina? You shouldn't have appeared with your ugly wolf. We would have been able to defend our pack without your help. Now, those idiots will think we are weak and can be easily defeated." "But she saved our children. If not for her, the rogues could have killed our children. We are grateful to you for your help, Katerina." Some elders spoke out. "She didn't save anyone. In the face of real danger, the rogues could have killed everyone including her. What strength has she got to save herself, let al

    (Katerina's Pov)It has been 3 days since I left my pack, still wandering about in the woods, tired, hungry as hell and absolutely weak. I was in my wolf form, walking slowly this time to conserve energy. Ana is tired and extremely hungry, but she's still stronger than my human form. I had spent the previous nights sleeping anywhere I could find shelter. I didn't care if I get preyed on by bigger wild animals as I was mostly in my wolf form, at least Ana could bear the pains of hunger throughout the night than my human form. I wouldn't have been able to sleep because I had not eaten anything for the past 5 days. The tiny amount of food my pack gave to me only once in an entire day always felt like I had eaten nothing. I was always hungry, always weak. In fact, three days before I left the pack, I could say I had not eaten anything.I had managed to feed on wild plants while in my wolf form but there was no water to drink, no juicy fruits to eat in my human form. I could barely swallow

    "I surrender, I mean no harm. Please don't hurt me." Ana, my wolf, growled in wolf's language. The black and brown wolf in front of me showed no sign of understanding or mercy. It kept approaching me with its gritted teeth, like a wild beast that has been starved for weeks and is ready to devour any kind of food that comes it way.Suddenly, to my greatest surprise, it began to shift back to human. He was an elderly man, should be in his late 50s. I didn't recognize him, maybe due to the darkness of the night. When he's fully shifted, he asked me to shift as well but I told him I was too weak and hungry to do so. I didn't have the strength required. "You are stronger than you think, Katerina." Now, that was strange. Did he know me from anywhere? Is he from my pack? "How did you know my name sir?" "We don't have time, I will explain later. For now, let me take you to my place. Please don't panic. All you have to do is to trust me. My reaction when I saw you just now was feigned. I al

    "We don't mean trouble. Whoever or whatever you are, you can show yourself." The elder spoke for whatever was hiding in the bushes to show itself. At first there was no response, neither was there a movement. We kept observing all around us, to make sure it doesn't catch us unaware. Something tells me it won't be friendly. Suddenly, we heard a growl from the same area the thing had moved about in the bushes beside us. I was still in my wolf form but the elder was in his human form, preparing to shift in order to protect me, as I was weak from severe hunger and hadn't eaten anything for dinner yet. We were about to eat when this wolf interrupted our movement into the place of shelter we had found. "You will regret stepping foot onto this path tonight." We heard the wolf say from within the bushes, still yet to reveal itself. "Who are you? An Alpha of a nearby pack?" The elder asked as he was observing his surroundings, still preparing to shift if need be. I was totally weak from se

    He was a huge black wolf with a little brown mixed at his sides. He wasn't familiar at all. He gritted it's teeth at us and his members started getting closer to us, having formed a circle around us. They all looked scary and were ready to attack us at any moment but we didn't wanted to fight. It was pointless, we meant no harm but these crazy rogues or whatever they were won't listen to us. At this point I gathered all what was left of my strength and came forward to meet the leader's gaze fully. The elder wolf tried to make me stay behind him all along, as a form of his protection but I was fed up. I needed to join him face whatever was bound to come, even though it was just the two of us against these twelve or so crazy wolves. We would fight together and die together. Maybe my life has finally come to an end. Just as soon as their leader saw my wolf's face clearly, it halted it's movement towards us. The expression on it's wolf's face turned from that of anger towards fighting an

    My wish came to pass. Morning came in no time and we were up, ready to begin our long journey back to the fallen moon pack, my abandoned pack. Thankfully, the night was peaceful although we both slept with one eye open. We finished eating and began our long journey back to the pack. It was going to take at least an extra day or two to get back to the pack.*******(Unknown POV) So she's still alive. Her pack didn't burn her for killing her parents? That's ridiculous. I thought I paid that coward handsomely to do a clean job. Did he inject her wrongly or with the wrong mixture? Now, the threat remains. The threat to my rulership remains. That little girl must have grown by now. She must not find out the truth about who she is. Now, with every passing minute, I feel threatened, knowing that she's still alive. Where has she been hiding all these while? No, this can't be. I must find a way to eliminate her and I must be quick about it. "Byron!" "Yes Alpha" "Bring me the records of the

    "Hey! Who's there?" A pack guard started walking towards our direction, about to alert his colleagues. He took out his whistle and was just about to blow to draw the attention of others, when the elder, who was yet to tell me his name, quickly hid me behind him. He then made a familiar identity sound of the pack. A sound that is used to identify with each pack member, to let them know they are from the same pack and not strangers, just in case they meet in an unfamiliar environment and are not able to recognize each other due to any obstacle. Seeing that it was an elderly man, the pack guard halted in his actions, as the elder was waving at him, to discourage him from blowing the whistle. An enemy would try to run away or panic after getting caught, so the guard felt maybe there was no need to sound the alarm, at least for the meantime as the elder didn't seem to pose any threat."What are you doing outside by this time of the night sir? And you are not in your wolf form. As a human,

    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 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

  • Wanted By 2 Alphas   CHAPTER 22

    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
