LOGINI still remember the way the air felt when it left my lungs for the last time. For five years, I was the Quiet Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. I was the wolf-less girl who wasn’t supposed to be there, the one the Omegas mocked and the elders ignored. I thought Nikolai Grey was the kind brother—the safe choice. I loved him through every cold look, and every night he left me alone because I couldn't give him a pup. I was his wife, but to him, I was just a prophecy to be fulfilled. And when I didn't fit the mold? He didn't just discard me. He ended my life in front of everyone. But the Moon Goddess gave me a second chance. I woke up five years ago. The Knight family expects me to marry a Grey. They think I’m going to choose the charming, smiling Nikolai again. They’re wrong. I’m done being the victim. If I’m going to survive this life, I don’t need a husband; I need a weapon. I need the brother Nikolai is terrified of. The one they call a monster because he doesn't know how to pretend. Alexander Grey. He’s ruthless. He’s cold. He’s the Alpha everyone avoids in the hallways. I walked right up to him, ignored the warning growl in his chest, and asked him to marry me. Nikolai thinks he’s getting a submissive bride. He has no idea that this time, I’m bringing his worst nightmare home to dinner.
View MoreKatherine’s POVI scanned the courtyard, but Nikolai was nowhere in sight. A coward like him probably couldn't even stomach watching the blood hit the stones. How a spineless leech like him managed to share the same bloodline as Alexander was beyond me.I held my chin high as I turned and stepped back into the grand corridor. The wooden doors closed behind me, cutting off the noise of the crowd.And there he was.Nikolai stood alone near the arched windows, watching the crowd below while his eyes trailed nervously over Alexander, who was still standing outside over the fresh corpse. Hearing my footsteps, Nikolai slowly turned his head toward me."I did not expect you to become this ruthless, Katherine," he said in disappointment.I just stared at him. What in the hell was wrong with this man? He knew about the rogue attack—he was likely up to his neck in it—and he had the audacity to stand there and call me ruthless?I took a deep breath, letting out a sharp, cold sigh."You look co
Katherine’s POVHe slowly wiped the stray drop of milk from his cheek, his breathing suddenly turning heavy and rough."You are injured," he warned. "Don't provoke me, Katherine. Don't laugh at me. Don't stare at me like that, and don't show your breasts to me... don't make me want to touch you."He aggressively looked away, his jaw clenched so tightly the muscles ticked beneath his skin. He was clearly fighting a massive, losing battle with his own restraint.I just smirked, entirely unfazed by his dark warning. "Yeah, right. But you still have to fix my dress before we step outside. You know I have to face the rogue. I need to kill him, and I can't exactly kill him while showing him my tits."Alexander's glowing red eyes widened in shock at my bluntness."Words, Katherine..." he groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose as if I were giving him a headache. "Language.""I'm not a kid.""Sure you're not," he muttered. His heavy gaze dropped right back down to my chest, lingering with a
Katherine’s POVHe cleared his throat, the sound rough in the quiet room, and a hard swallow visibly bobbed his Adam’s apple.You would think the great, ruthless Alpha had never seen a woman’s body before.He stepped closer. His fingers that had just effortlessly crushed a man’s windpipe—were suddenly moving with trembling care as they reached for my chest.He slowly undid the top buttons of my dress, his knuckles gently brushing against my collarbone. He bit down hard on his lower lip, his glowing red eyes stubbornly fixed on the delicate lace of my bodice, entirely refusing to meet my gaze. With painful slowness, he loosened the silk ties. When he finally had to reach inside the fabric, his breath hitched.The moment his large, hot palm cupped my bare breast, a delicious spark shot straight down my spine. But I kept my expression perfectly innocent. I just sat there, waiting patiently with Kander in my lap, while my Alpha husband fought a brutal internal war just to help me undre
Katherine’s POVAfter I delivered those words, I smoothly stepped back, releasing the collar of her ruined dress. I didn't spare her another second of my time. I simply turned my head and glanced up at Alexander.He didn't need me to say a single word. He stepped forward and effortlessly scooped me back into his massive arms right in front of the entire stunned court.Over Alexander’s broad shoulder, I watched Sofia as we turned to leave. Her hands were trembling furiously, her face a blotchy, stinging red as she glared back at me. She was probably screaming inside her head, completely panicked and wondering how I could publicly humiliate her like this without consequence.But the real damage was already done.I could see the immediate shift in the nobles surrounding her. The high-society gossips of the pack were already doing exactly what I wanted them to do. They were taking subtle steps back from her, hiding their mouths behind their jeweled hands as rapid, suspicious whispers b
