“I tried to warn you…” Kat huffed. “But we did learn one thing…” Kat sat down in the chair beside Ruben, placing her hands under her legs, swinging her legs back and forth.“What’s that?” Ruben looked at her amused by her child like behaviour.“We just need to fulfil Scott’s contract to end his hold over me…of course it was so simple.”“What’s simple…we don’t know the fulfilment details…”“I do.” Kat grinned.Ruben’s eyes widened. “You do?”“Of course…I’m a part of that contract…I feel a bit stupid I didn’t actually realise it myself.” She tucked her hair behind one ear, awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.“Realise what exactly…Bastetia?” Ruben said smartly, intoning her name in a sultry manner.Kat’s eyes clouded

As Kat stormed into the office the next day Ruben grinned amused at her as he continued to look at the papers in front of him. He had been waiting for this all morning.“What the hell, Ruben?” Kat stood defiantly with her hands on her hips just in the doorway after slamming the door shut behind her.Ruben looked up from his paperwork and leaned casually back into his chair. “Kat, nice to see you finally got out of bed.”“Don’t give me that nicey nice bullshit, Ruben, what game are you playing?”“Game, baby girl?”“Where the hell has all my pants and underwear gone?”Ruben gave her a dark smouldering look as he looked her over slowly, making her burn under that gaze. She was wearing a black form fitting dress with no sleeves that came to a respectful just-over-the-knee length with a small split in the back. He liked it, it looked really smart on her, made her look like a rich b

Ruben had left Kat well sated and with Lucinda, unpacking clothes. Smiling and eating popcorn and snacks…always eating…Earlier the night before he had given Lucinda his card and told her to go shopping for Kat, everything she needed. She had squealed in delight but then pouted when he told her Kat couldn’t go with her it was too risky to allow her to leave the mansion with Scott still not located, but she had done a fantastic job and when she had entered his rooms with an entourage of people carrying bags he wondered if he was now a broke pauper. He had fully intended all along to give Kat her underwear back and now she had lots of new sets. He looked forward to seeing her wear them….Now they were sitting on the bed as Lucinda showed Kat what she had purchased.“It’s all too much…” Kat said as she blushed modestly.“No it’s not.” Lucinda brushed it off to the fact that Ruben c

 “Hey Kat, since the weather is getting warmer and it’s a lovely day do you want to go for a swim in the pool.” Ruben had thought about how they could spend the day together making her get up before midday to an intimate breakfast on the balcony overlooking the pool.“Oh…ah…okay…” Kat looked down at the pool dubiously.“What’s the problem? Cat’s don’t swim?” He grinned as she flashed him a dark look.“Exactly, I don’t swim.” She snarked back.“Well, it’s not like it’s that deep…” He chuckled.“Okay…I think Lucinda bought me a swim suit during her shopping spree the other night…”Ruben laughed. “She spoils you…”“You spoil me, I know it’s your money.”Ruben shrugged and smiled that smile at her as she went into the wardrobe wh

Not even five minutes later Ruben was banging on the door.“Katarina! Open this fucking door right now!”Ruben saw a piece of paper slide out under the door.He picked it up.“That’s all the information I have.” Kat said from the other side of the door. “The address of the drug dealer, the location of one potential bomb threat and I’m sorry but he did speak of another possible bomb site but never really decided on one while I was there, you’ll have to ask him when you manage to find him.”Ruben read it and handed it to Vlad next to him. His jaw clenched. “Kat, open the door.”“No way…”“Kat!” Ruben growled, his hands pressed on the door.“I’m packing a bag, don’t worry I’ll be out of your hair soon.” She shouted.To Ruben it sounded like she was well away from the door, possibly in the dressing r

Ruben gathered the vampires together for a war conclave…explaining to them all the situation, giving them the information he had received from Kat and planning out their next steps. He had a sneaky suspicion Kat would wait till evening before attacking, so he knew he had a little time on his side.“First things first we need to secure Mr McGowen so he’s out of the way for whatever Kat is doing out there…” Ruben was talking to Aiden, Vlad and a couple of lesser Vampire Lords from his clan.“I believe she intends to go after Scott’s gang while he’s not there.” Vlad input.“Okay, makes sense she knows she can kill them if he’s not there to interfere and order her not to with the manipulation of the collar…she’ll probably find out the locations of the intended bomb attacks and then head there, so if we can get Scott we can get that information out of him and possibly head her off.&rdquo

Kat looked back on the gang pad now in flames, hearing the sounds of the people left alive inside as she trapped them in using her shadows to block any chance of escape. There was at least another fifty souls for Lord Basille…but still not enough. Some of Scott’s gang had managed to escape her, and as she had exited the large fortified warehouse she had seen a man encouraging others to run and flee. She had heard him telling people to head to the gangs other, more secret, location on Mayfair. She grinned to herself and moved off to head to that very location as the thick smoke plumed up into the sky and the distant sounds of sirens could be heard. It didn’t matter now, there was no saving those people still inside. . As she arrived at the property on Mayfair she calmly walked up to the front entrance and knocked solidly on the steel reinforced door before turning her head and smiling into the camera she knew was there. “Kat?” A voice came through at her. “Yeah, let me in.” “Wh

As Ruben got out of his car he knew this was the place on Mayfair St, it had to be because the windows were all smashed out and there were people staggering on the street covered in blood. Ruben hoped he wasn’t too late to catch her.He grabbed one man by the shirt and pulled him up off his feet to look Ruben in the eyes. The man quailed and struggled. “Christ! Not another one, what the fuck is going on?“Wait, what?” Ruben asked a little startled. “What do you mean, another one?”He listened in to the other conversations going on around him, something wasn’t right here…He heard snippets of ‘damn supernatural bastards’, ‘they’re going to kill each other’, ‘he’s going to kill her!’He turned his focus back on the human he was holding up as he spoke. “You lot, vampires…what the hell has gotten into you!?”“There’s anot

Half an hour later Kat opened her eyes and sat up startled. “Ruben, you have to turn this car around!”“No.” He knew she was going to do this.“But you don’t understand, I need to…” She sat forward on the seat to plea her case but Ruben cut her off.“I know what you were trying to do…it was wrong of you.” Ruben’s voice was deep and harsh.“Wrong?” Kat frowned a little confused.“I own this city, baby…you can’t kill people like that, it slights against me, which slights against the Royal family!”Kat chewed on her bottom lip as she thought about it. “But…”He slammed his foot on the brake and pulled sharply over to the side of the highway. He turned in his seat and settled a blazing icy stare on her.“You are with me now, Katarina…Bastetia…what the fuck ever! You cannot go against

Kat woke to Ruben gently shaking her. “We’re here.” He said as he walked off.Kat sat up and looked around. She saw Ruben talking to someone by the front door of an ultra-modern looking house, all white Rockcote and cedar wood with large tinted windows.She saw the man hand Ruben some keys and walk off into the darkness. Ruben unlocked the front door and walked inside.Wow, he must be really pissed with me, Kat thought, I was only trying to do my bloody job!Kat scowled, she had had enough of his attitude. She got out of the car and stalked like a predator into the house.As she walked through the entrance way it opened up to a huge open living area that had massive windows facing out to a deck with an infinity pool and the beach and sea beyond.“Whoa!” Kat muttered, astonished, momentarily forgetting her angst. She turned and saw Ruben standing by the large island in the kitchen area, pouring himself a whisky.
