"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
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

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.

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.

"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
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
On getting home from school, I kept thinking of how I'm ever going to find my mate that seems unwilling to find me. There's no male in this pack without a female companion. I can't even get close to any of them because everyone avoids me apart from Renee my friend. Even my own brother is distant from me.Shaking off my thoughts, I remained firm on my bet and decision to find my mate as soon as possible, even if I have to shift to do so. Maybe he isn't avoiding me and he's also looking out for me but there are obstacles in our way to meeting each other. Shifting would get me banished and I will have no where to go, but my wolf was dying inside.I checked time, it was time for the Pack's dinner. Everyone that came always brought their companion and I've never felt any sort of connection to anyone because I'm always at some distance from them. That was how much they hated me. My mate should be somewhere among us but I couldn't sense his presence yet."I haven't eaten since morning when I
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,
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

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
(Alpha Kol's POV)That bitch! That stupid bitch. Oh why do I still feel the pains of her promiscuous lifestyle? I thought our connection was long broken immediately she officially accepted my rejection. Why do I still feel it? Why do I still feel some pains when she's getting intimate with other men? God, I will give an arm and a leg just to stop feeling these pains. She is so needy of a man's validation that she can't stop getting intimate with them? She really cannot live without men? I can't start blaming the wolf gods for giving her to me as my mate. But this is strange that even when I've rejected her with all my heart, with all seriousness, I still feel slight pains whenever she's getting intimate with other men. I guess I will have to seek advice on what to do in order to stop feeling the pains of her promiscuity henceforth.Now, we are expecting a new pack to join us. How am I going to explain that we are occasionally being attacked by some hoodlums in form of rogues, just be
