Katherine Harrington

“Her blood pressure is dropping!”

The shout tore through the darkness like lightning.

I tried to open my eyes, but my body wouldn’t listen. Everything felt heavy, like I was trapped underwater.

Voices blurred around me. Machines beeped rapidly somewhere near my head.

“She’s losing too much blood. Stop the procedure!”

“We can’t,” another voice said nervously. “The beta’s daughter needs it!”

Pain exploded in my side again, sharp enough to drag a broken sound from my throat.

I wanted to scream.

But the sedative chained my body to the table.

Something cold touched my stomach.

A second later—

The blade cut.

White-hot agony ripped through me. My fingers twitched helplessly against the sheet as tears slid down the sides of my face.

So this is how it ends.

Moon Goddess…

My thoughts trembled weakly in the darkness.

Is this really my fate?

After five years of loving him.

After taking a knife meant for his precious Helen.

Now I had to give her my kidney too?

A hollow laugh echoed in my mind.

If you can hear me… save me.

Because if I survive this…

I swear I will never choose Sebastian again.

The pain deepened.

My breathing turned shallow.

Then—

The operating room door slammed open.

“Who gave you permission to touch her?”

The voice was cold enough to freeze the entire room.

Even through the fog of anesthesia, I felt the air change.

Silence fell instantly.

My eyelids fluttered weakly, vision blurred and unfocused.

A tall figure stood in the doorway.

I couldn’t see his face clearly.

But every wolf in the room had lowered their heads.

Fear.

Respect.

Submission.

It rolled off them in waves.

Footsteps approached the table.

“Stop the surgery,” the man said calmly.

“But—sir—” one of the doctors stammered. “The beta’s daughter will die without—”

“Did I ask?”

His voice dropped.

The temperature in the room seemed to fall ten degrees.

“No one touches her again.”

Strong arms suddenly slid beneath my body.

The movement sent a burst of pain through my side, but I barely reacted. My mind was drifting too far away.

Someone… was carrying me.

My head fell weakly against a broad chest.

The scent of something unfamiliar surrounded me—dark pine, smoke, and something powerful enough to make even my weak Omega instincts tremble.

Who…?

My thoughts struggled to form.

My parents were dead.

I had no family.

No one who would come for me.

Then why…

Why was someone saving me?

The world tilted as he carried me out of the room.

Voices followed us into the hallway.

“She’s not going to make it, Alpha Tyrant!” someone said urgently.

Alpha… Tyrant?

My fading mind caught the words.

Alpha… Tyrant…?

The title sounded distant and unreal, like something from a dream.

“Not make it?” the deep voice replied coldly.

A pause followed.

Then—

“Try saying that again.”

Panic erupted around us.

“She’s lost too much blood!”

“She needs immediate stabilization!”

“Prepare another room!”

The man holding me didn’t slow down.

His grip tightened slightly, as if refusing to let go.

My vision darkened further.

The last thing I felt was the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath my cheek.

Strong.

Unshaken.

Then everything went black.

---

Cold.

That was the first thing I felt.

Not pain.

Not fear.

Just cold.

For a moment, I wondered if this was what death felt like.

My eyes slowly opened.

The room around me looked strangely familiar.

White walls.

Hospital lights.

A quiet hum of machines.

Voices drifted from the other side of the curtain.

I turned my head weakly.

Sebastian stood beside the bed.

Helen was in his arms.

Alive.

Perfectly healthy.

Her head rested against his chest while he stroked her hair gently.

My heart twisted.

Even now… he chose her.

Helen’s voice broke the silence.

Soft.

Sweet.

Cruel.

“You didn’t really believe I needed her kidney, did you?”

Sebastian frowned slightly. “The doctor said—”

“I paid the doctor.”

The words landed like a bomb.

I froze.

Helen giggled quietly, fingers tracing lazy circles on his chest.

“I just needed Katherine out of the way. She’s always been such an obstacle.”

Sebastian went still.

“But what if something happens to her?” he asked after a moment.

Helen shrugged.

“Then she dies.”

My breath caught.

“She’s just an Omega without a wolf anyway,” Helen continued carelessly. “You can find another wife anytime.”

Silence stretched between them.

I waited.

Waited for Sebastian to argue.

To defend me.

To say my name.

Instead—

He sighed.

“You’re impossible.”

Helen laughed softly and kissed him.

“Admit it,” she whispered. “You never loved her anyway.”

Sebastian didn’t answer.

He just held her tighter.

Something inside my chest shattered completely.

The last fragile piece of hope I had been clinging to… crumbled into dust.

Tears poured down my face.

Moon Goddess…

My voice trembled in the darkness of my mind.

Please…

If you can hear me…

Give me one more chance.

My hands clenched weakly.

I won’t love him anymore.

I won’t beg for his affection.

I won’t live like this again.

My tears burned hotter.

Just give me one more life.

I swear…

I will make them regret everything.

Something stirred deep inside my chest.

At first it was faint.

A tiny spark.

Then it grew stronger.

Warmer.

A low, unfamiliar growl echoed somewhere deep within my soul.

My wolf.

The one they said I didn’t have.

The one that had been silent my entire life.

It was waking up.

The sound grew louder.

Stronger.

Wild.

Then—

Pain exploded through my skull.

My eyes snapped open.

A sharp gasp tore from my throat as I shot upright in bed.

My head throbbed violently.

The room around me spun.

Dark stone walls.

A large unfamiliar bed.

This wasn’t the hospital.

Fear surged through me.

“Help…” My voice came out hoarse and broken.

My throat burned like sandpaper.

“Help… please… I’m thirsty…”

A chair scraped loudly nearby.

Someone rushed toward the door.

“She’s awake!” a woman shouted.

Footsteps echoed down the hallway.

“Alpha! She’s awake!”

The word barely registered before the door burst open.

Several nurses rushed inside.

And behind them—

A tall man stepped into the room.

Even through the haze of pain, I felt the shift in the air.

Power rolled off him like a storm.

My vision blurred before I could see his face clearly.

The pounding in my head grew unbearable.

Darkness crept back into the edges of my sight.

The last thing I heard was a deep voice saying quietly—

“MATE”

Then the world faded to black again.

  • Dear Ex Husband, The Tyrant Rogue King Wants me!    48

    Katherine HarringtonLord Mammon was arriving today at the palace , in the next few minutes, actually.I stood beside Luciano at the top of the grand entrance steps, my hand firmly held in his. The grip was steady, possessive, grounding. Lady Amelia and Seraphina stood a respectful distance to our right, both dressed elegantly, their expressions composed but carrying that subtle tension I had come to recognize in the palace. The massive black iron gates slowly swung open with a low, metallic groan, and a sleek black car rolled through, tires crunching over the gravel driveway. My heart beat a little faster. This was the first time I was meeting one of Luciano’s oldest allies — a blood brother bound by ancient oath — and the weight of it pressed heavily on my chest.Luciano’s thumb stroked once over the back of my hand, a silent reassurance.The car came to a smooth stop. The driver stepped out first, opening the rear door with practiced deference. A tall, imposing man emerged — broad-

    Katherine HarringtonOnly a few days remained before the wedding, and my private chambers had transformed into a carefully orchestrated chaos of preparation. Bolts of silk and embroidered velvet draped every surface, while trays of sketches, half-finished invitations, and cascading arrangements of flowers competed for space. Lady Amelia stood at one of the long tables, her posture impeccable as she reviewed a stack of lists with quiet precision. Three maids moved with practiced efficiency nearby, arranging velvet cases that held some of the empire’s most exquisite jewels. I had been staring at necklaces for what felt like an eternity, each one failing to stir even the faintest spark of approval.The door opened without ceremony.No knock. No announcement.Princess Seraphina entered as if the room were her own, crossing the threshold with effortless grace before settling on the edge of the bed.“So this is where the entire household has vanished to.”I glanced up, a wry smile touching

    Helen ValeI woke up the next morning with a smile so wide it almost hurt my cheeks. The nursery was quiet. The house felt lighter. Cleaner. Safer. Elder Morgan was gone — dragged away in chains like the criminal she was, screaming my name until her voice broke.I was free.I sat at the breakfast table practically glowing, my smile bright and genuine for the first time in weeks. My adoptive mother noticed immediately, reaching over to squeeze my hand with warm affection.“You look happy this morning, darling.”“I am,” I said, voice soft and sweet. “I feel… lighter. Like a weight has been lifted. Maybe we should go on a trip. Just the three of us. Somewhere warm. Somewhere far away from all the stress here. The baby would love the sea air, and I think we all deserve a break after everything that happened.”My father looked up from his newspaper, smiling indulgently.“That sounds like a wonderful idea. We haven’t taken a proper family holiday in years. We could go to the southern coast.

    Halen ValeI barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Elder Morgan sitting comfortably inside the nursery burned behind my lids like a brand. She moved through the estate as if she belonged there — folding blankets with practiced care, speaking softly to the servants, earning quiet nods of approval from the staff. Each small gesture felt like a blade pressed against my throat. She was settling in too well. Too quickly. And every hour she remained under this roof increased the chance that she would open her mouth and destroy everything I had spent years carefully constructing.I had built this life from nothing.I had learned their routines, their preferences, their weaknesses. I had molded myself into the perfect image of the daughter they had always wanted. And now Elder Morgan — my real mother, the woman who had once dragged me through the dirt of Blackthorn’s underbelly — was here, threatening to unravel it all with a single whispered truth.She could expo

    Helen ValePain was a strange thing. Before today, I had always imagined childbirth as something women exaggerated when they wanted sympathy. Lying in a private hospital suite that probably cost more per night than my old apartment had cost per month, I realized how stupid that assumption had been. Every contraction felt like my body was being torn apart from the inside. My fingers gripped the bedsheets so tightly my knuckles had turned white hours ago, yet the pain kept coming in relentless waves that left me breathless and trembling. Doctors moved around me. Nurses spoke in calm reassuring voices. Somewhere nearby I could hear my mother's voice cracking with worry while my father demanded updates every few minutes despite being repeatedly told to remain outside. The entire floor had practically been shut down because of me. Because I was supposedly their daughter. Their miracle. Their Katherine.The thought almost made me laugh.Instead another contraction hit and the laugh became a

    Tyrant Luciano ZarkovI stood motionless near the long table covered with fabric swatches, floral arrangements, and sketches of gowns while at least a dozen planners, tailors, and designers spoke over one another in hushed but urgent tones. The air carried the scent of fresh lilies, aged parchment, and the faint metallic tang of expensive ink. None of it held any interest for me.My attention remained fixed entirely on Katherine as she moved through the displays with an excitement that bordered on radiant. Her fingers trailed over deep emerald silks and delicate lace samples as though she were touching something sacred, her eyes sparkling with genuine joy when she selected the forest green fabric for her wedding gown — a rich, dark shade that reminded me of ancient woods and shadowed secrets. The tailor took her measurements with careful reverence, and I watched in silence as she described exactly what she wanted: elegant lines, subtle embroidery, something that felt like her. She wa

    Katherine HarringtonOh. My. Goddess.The first slow, wet drag of Luciano’s tongue from my dripping entrance all the way up to my swollen clit felt like lightning striking straight through my core. My back arched violently off the bed, a broken moan tearing from my throat before I could even think

    Tyrant Luciano ZarkovThe alarm shattered the silence with the sound of screaming men.A mixture of battle cries, agonized howls, and clashing steel ripped through the room with enough violence to wake the dead.Beside me, Katherine jolted upright.“What was that?” she yelped, clutching the blanket

    Katherine Harrington The first sensation wasn’t pain. It was weight. Crushing, liquid weight, as if my bones had been replaced with wet concrete left to set. My eyelids were sealed—glued by crust and time. When they finally cracked open, white light knifed straight through my skull. I flinched,
