Nathan: I had to fight the urge of punching Donatello the second he entered my office. Katerina's words were still playing in my head as I glared at him. He frowned in confusion seeing my attitude; however, I wasn’t going to give him the benefit of knowing that he not only ticked my nerve, he managed to tick my wife’s too.I knew that Katerina was usually quiet, contained, and preferred to stay out of the spotlight, and this was one of the reasons. Whenever she was in the spotlight, she found herself being alone as she gets put in situations that are not preferable to her, and this was just one of them.Carter, Donatello, Donato, and I entered my office, the three men frowning at my state. Katerina was yet to call me to inform me that she was done with her exam; but I was surprised when I saw Donatello arriving at the office twenty minutes after our call.“I take it someone has had a tough day” Donatello mocked, pretending like the night before didn’t happen. It was part of our plan
Katerina:“What game are you playing, Katerina?” Carter asked, stopping me before I left the company. I frowned in confusion, stopping in front of him, putting a hand on his chest as I pushed him inside his office. Nathan was at a meeting and I knew that he wouldn’t be out until another hour, hence why I chose to excuse myself and go back home.“What the bloody hell are you talking about?” I asked, glaring at him. My tone annoyed at him as I reminded him of the fact that he was my husband’s beta and I was his Luna. Carter knew the rules by heart, and I knew that of all people, he should have been the one to both respect, and protect me; however, it seemed like my day couldn’t get any worse than it already was. Between everything that has been happening, I found myself no longer being surprised by anyone’s words, actions, or attitude.“Since arriving, Nathan has gotten into countless arguments with Inna, and that was something that never happened. He has been comparing me to other pack
Nathan:My heart raced against my ribcage as I processed what Donatello just told Katerina. My body froze, preventing me from moving a muscle as a wave of emotions flooded through me, and thousands of questions ran through my mind. I couldn’t even imagine what Katerina felt as she stood in front of Donatello, processing what he said.Her hands shook as she fought the urge to rip the man’s face in half, and seeing that I knew that she could, I forced myself to walk toward her, wrapping my arms around her as to pull her back. Katerina’s body tensed for a second before she turned around to face me, allowing me to wrap my arms around her as if to protect her from Donatello.“It is your choice whether you want to see her or not. But I wanted you to know that you are not alone dealing with this. She left me too, and I broke down just like you did. The one difference is, I was a child when she left, and I didn’t understand why my mom chose to run away with a different man”“No…”“She found y
Chapter 65Katerina:I ran my fingers through my hair as I processed Donatello’s words.My heart raced as I sat on the edge of the bed, not wanting or willing to see anyone as I got lost in my thoughts. The fact that my mother, the woman who had broken so much in me, was as near as wanting to see me was something that anyone else would have wanted. They would have wanted to at least try to get things cleared, I don’t know, try to understand why things happened the way they did; however, I wanted nothing more than to have my memory wiped.Nathan’s scent filled my nostrils as he walked inside the house. I didn’t even know how I was to face him with what he just learned. To know that not only was I a daughter of a ‘mating’, no, I was in fact a bastard who came out of a scandal. He knocked on the door twice before opening it, already knowing that I wouldn’t respond anyway, I couldn’t even look him in the eye if I tried.He stopped in front of the door, not moving an inch, and for a seco
Nathan:I smiled at my wife who just woke up wearing nothing but my shirt. The two of us having slept being exhausted, we didn’t bother taking a shower.It has been two weeks since Donatello told us about him being Katerina’s brother, and since then, it was like my wife was more than determined to fall asleep without a thought in mind but me. “Hi” she whispered, raising herself to look at me. I smiled, pulling her up, pecking her lips. I would be lying if I said that the two of us weren’t getting more intimate as days went by. If anything, the two of us were getting more and more lost in one another, forgetting that the world outside existed, and that had to be the best thing that has happened to us in a while.“Good morning to you too” I teased, raising myself to sit, resting my back against the bedrest. Katerina smiled, running her hand over my bare chest.“Ha, ha” she teased, checking her phone. I smirked when her eyes widened, realizing that it was a while past noon. It was the
Katerina: My blood pumped faster than it ever has as I went from elder to the other, fighting them to keep our pack safe. The idea of losing the pack to the elders was not something that I wanted to think of, and seeing as I now understood why they wanted Donatello and the Lycans to be by their sides; I couldn’t stop my wolf from raging no matter how much I wanted to. My heart raced against my ribcage as the smell of blood filled my nostrils. Its metallic smell caused my wolf to growl as she grew excited, the smell alone was enough to trigger any wolf. I let out a low growl as Celeste approached me with a knife, attempting to stab me with it. However, the woman wasn’t fast enough to dodge the kick that had her stumbling down. Her eyes widened as she glared at me, her heart racing as she gripped the knife she had tighter, clearly wanting to slash me with it. She growled, getting up from the ground before Donatello jumped on her, in wolf form, attacking her neck, ripping it in half.
Nathan:My heart raced against my chest as I looked at my father who stood in front of me, putting a hand in front of me, protecting me from the raging elders. The memory of me kicking him out of the pack years ago was still fresh in my mind, and despite it hurting me a lot back then; I never found myself apologizing to him for doing so. “I asked a fucking question” he said, glaring at one of the elders, Lawrence. The man bled from head to toe, but he stood his ground in front of my father, his heart racing as he feared the Pakhan attacking him. “Your son has crossed all limits…”“His name is Alpha Nathan, and I believe that you are well aware that this is HIS pack’s grounds” dad said, glaring at the man. My heart swelled with so many feelings that I didn’t know how to express. Mom kept her eyes on dad from a distance, her own heart racing as she looked at the man she grew up loving before she ended up fearing. I knew that he had hurt her a lot, and I knew that his abuse was the r
Katerina:I watched as my father yelled at Carter, his tears falling from his eyes as he grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. He wouldn’t even give him a chance to explain or answer what he was asking, his heart racing as he shook him a few times.“Where is my daughter?” He asked again, his voice weakening. This being the first time I’ve seen him in this state, I couldn’t help but freeze at the sight, my heart breaking as Nathan and I walked through the door. Nathan let out a low growl, wrapping his arm around me, and pulling me back a bit. His growl seeming to catch dad’s attention, we both watched as he let Carter go before taking a step toward us. His eyes met mine and I frowned, wanting to take a step back only for Nathan to hold me close, stopping me from moving as he stood in front of my father. My heart raced and I found my hands shaking as I anticipated what he would do. The last thing I ever expected to hear was him worrying about me, and needless to say, I knew that h
