Katerina:My hands shook as I walked out of the house, practically running out of it, wanting to be anywhere but here.Inna’s words played in my head, reminding me of words that Eleanor used to tell me when I was a kid asking my father for anything that didn’t include necessities, hell, even necessities had to be calculated when I wanted to get any of them.The way Inna had looked at me was almost similar to the way Eleanor did. Her forcing me to call her mum was something that I could never forgive her for, and making me do it to get anything I wanted was something that I would never forget. I kept walking forward, not knowing where to go, as I tried clearing my mind; however, that didn’t last for long before I felt Carter, having caught his scent, I didn’t punch him in the face, wrapped his arms around me, stopping me.“Katerina, stop”“Let me go; otherwise, I give you my word that you’re going to regret it” I snapped, pulling away from his arms. Carter raised his hands in surrende
Nathan:I entered the office, staring into space as I recalled what happened earlier. My heart raced against my ribcage as I glared at the bar where my drinks were placed. I knew that it was way too early to drink, but I couldn’t have it any other way with the mood that I was in, and taking my anger out on those that didn’t deserve it wasn’t something that I wanted to do either.Having seen Katerina leaving the house the way she did, me kicking mom out of the pack, and knowing that mom dared challenge me the way she did broke me; however, I knew that there was no going back now. The bullet was fired, and mom had shot me with it long before I responded back to her, and I didn’t know how to react to everything that had happened to begin with.“Alpha…”“Leave, Carter” I said, stopping my beta. The two of us were barely talking after what happened yesterday, and seeing as I wasn’t in the mood right now; I knew that I shouldn’t be interacting with him much as not to say something that I wo
Katerina:I growled as the two wolves tried approaching Inna, warning them to stop.“I find it amusing that you’re protecting the woman that was yelling at you a few minutes ago, insulting you as this pack’s Luna, and also discriminating you in front of the whole pack” Donatello stated, smiling mischievously at me. I growled in response, taking a step toward him despite every instinct in my body, watching as he towered my body, looking down at me “you know, if you stop this attitude, I can give you the life you deserve as Luna”“You can rot in hell before I go anywhere with you” I snapped, pointing at the door “now, get the fuck out of our pack before I make sure to kill you here and now”“And how do you plan on doing so, little princess?” He asked, his tone mocking. I rolled my eyes, my hand snatching the knife he had tucked in the waistband of his pants, pointing it at his chest, glaring at him.“Does this answer your question?” I snarled.“I take it that your eyes are sharp too, I
Nathan:I kept my arms wrapped around Katerina as we sat in the living room, watching as the door was fixed.Her eyes grew heavier with each passing second, and I couldn’t help but wonder why she woke up as early as she did if she was still exhausted.“Done”“Alright, how much do I owe you?” I asked, getting up from the couch, watching as Katerina straightened, forcing herself to wake up as she looked at us.“Twenty-five please” he said, showing me the bill. I nodded, taking out the money he asked for before handing it to him alone with a tip. He went to return my change to me; however, I shook my head, stopping him. I smiled when he handed me the three keys, nodding at him in thanks as I put them on the table in front of the door. “Go and get yourself something to eat or drink, have a nice day” I said, closing the door and locking it. I walked toward Katerina, taking her hand in mine as I brought it to my lips, gently kissing her knuckle. Katerina smiled, coming to lay back in my ar
Katerina:I opened my eyes to the smell of cooking out in the kitchen.My head throbbed as I sat up abruptly, my eyes widening when I realized that it was a while past five in the evening.I got up from bed and quickly rushed to the bathroom, freshening up to see whether or not Nathan was back from work. The man would be worried sick if he found that I was still asleep when he came home, and knowing that I hadn’t done anything that concerned my duties as his wife wasn’t something that I liked either.I walked out of the bathroom, quickly dressing up in pants and a sweatshirt, the temperature was dropping a little and despite being a wolf, I couldn’t help but miss the cold winter to wear the clothes of the season.My eyes widened in surprise when I saw Nathan entering the room, his eyes meeting mine before he smiled “hey”“Hi” I said, walking toward him. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, kissing the crown of my head as he did “when did you get home from work?”“I had w
Nathan:“Baby girl” I said, looking at Katerina whose mind seemed to be busy. “Yes, love?” Katerina asked, smiling at me. I sat on the couch beside her, having been in the office reading through some paperwork. I wasn’t sure when her and Jade’s conversation was over, but it seemed like she was here for a while now.I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her to my chest, watching as she curled up, cuddling in my arms “you’re quiet, baby”“I’m tired, I guess” Katerina said, looking up at me. I smiled and kissed her temple, watching as she looked up at me.“How about I get you something to warm you up and if possible, chocolate?” I asked, my voice gentle as I looked my beauty in the eye. Black circles have formed under her eyes, and despite knowing the reason behind it, I hated seeing that she was in pain.“You seem to be reading my mood well” Katerina said, laughing as she looked up at me. Her eyes seemed to light up a bit despite being as exhausted as she was, and seeing as I knew that
Katerina:“Are you ready, baby?” Nathan asked, wrapping his arms around me from the back as I put my earrings on.“Yes, I just need to put my things inside my bag and I’ll be heading out” I said, turning around to face him. He smiled, kissing my lips before he rested his forehead against my own. The two of us have been married for three months now, and since we chose to start accepting one another, our relationship has been growing stronger on a daily basis.“I’ll be a bit late at work today, but I’ll be sure that I’m back before dinner, okay?” Nathan asked and I nodded, standing on my toes to kiss his cheek. “I’ll be studying, I have an exam tomorrow and need to prepare for it”“You have been preparing for it for an entire week now, I am sure that you know all the information by heart, not to mention the fact that you would barely need to read it to revise it” Nathan teased, making me laugh. I shook my head at him, biting my bottom lip before the two of us walked out of the room, sm
Nathan:“You’re serious?”“Unfortunately” Carter said, handing me the papers “Donatello has requested that he withdraws his whole shares from the companies, and though it states in the contract that he can’t unless he pays a certain amount; he is more than willing to pay for it”“This can’t be good” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose as I read the papers. Donatello has been my partner for as long as I could remember, and him being my partner was the only reason why our family was never affected by the wolf’s war. However, now that he wants to withdraw his shares…“What are you going to do?” Carter asked, taking a sip of his whiskey.“For now, we are going to hold a meeting, and I want him to come. We will discuss why he wants to withdraw his things. Yes, him attacking the pack was not something that I forgot, but business is business, and we don’t just withdraw halfway with no explanation” I said, handing Carter the paper “as for letting him go, if the money comes, he can leave, b
