LOGINKatherine’s POVAlexander lay flush against my side, the heavy, comforting warmth of his large body pressing deeply into mine. His lips trailed a slow, burning path of soft kisses up the sensitive column of my neck, lingering against my jaw before pressing tenderly to my flushed cheeks. Then a soft, handsome smile played on his lips as he pulled back just enough to look at me. He leaned in, his lips brushing my jaw. "So perfect..." Between every breathless, whispered praise, he leaned in to press another impossibly gentle kiss to my skin. "My beautiful girl..." Then another kiss to the corner of my mouth. "My fierce Queen... you drive me absolutely insane."I stared back at him, my chest aching with a love so deep it felt heavy. "I love you," I whispered into the quiet space between us. I brushed a heavy strand of dark hair from his forehead, my thumb gently tracing his strong jaw. "I love you... I love you."I repeated it like a sacred prayer, simply because of the way his breat
Katherine’s POVA sharp gasp tore from my throat as Alexander moved down my body, his mouth settling perfectly over my aching, slick center. I arched my neck, my entire body bowing upward to meet his touch. Goddess, it felt incredibly good. It felt like heaven.My mouth fell open in a silent cry before I bit down hard on my lower lip, a soft, helpless moan slipping out as his tongue worked with slow, masterful precision."Alexander... hmm," I breathed, my hands tangling desperately into his thick, dark hair.My toes curled tightly into the plush cushions as the intense, building pressure finally reached its breaking point. I shattered against his mouth, a violent, blissful release washing over me, and he swallowed every drop of my juices, savoring me completely. Then he slowly pulled back, dragging his tongue along his lower lip. He stared up at me through his dark, hooded eyes, taking in my completely undone, satisfied state, and a wicked satisfied smile spread across his gorgeou
Alexander’s POV"I will ask you one last time," I growled, my blood-soaked claws digging viciously into the rogue’s trembling shoulder. "Where is the rest of your camp hiding?"The rogue spat a wad of blood onto the cold dungeon floor, flashing a defiant, broken grin. "Go to hell..."I let out a low, feral snarl, fully preparing to rip his arm from its socket, when the heavy iron doors of the dungeon suddenly burst open."Alpha!" my lead guard yelled, panting heavily."What?!" I snapped, my eyes flashing dangerously at the interruption."It is the Luna," the guard urged, his eyes wide with urgency. "Your brother and his new wife managed to slip past the outer gates. They are in the gardens with her right now. We heard screaming."I dropped the rogue like a sack of garbage, snatching a rough cloth to hastily wipe the dark blood from my hands as I sprinted out of the dungeon. I pushed my body to its absolute limits, blurring past the stone corridors of the castle. If they have touched
Katherine’s POV"You...!" She leaped to her feet, her face turning crimson with rage as she pointed a trembling, accusatory finger directly at my face.But before she could utter another word, a deeply familiar, exhausted voice cut her."Sofia. That is enough."I paused, my eyes shifting past my seething sister to see who had intervened. Nikolai was standing at the edge of the stone path.A heavy sigh escaped his lips the very second his gaze dropped and landed on my undeniably round, swollen stomach. All the fight seemed to completely drain out of him. He stared at the physical proof of my new life with a devastating mix of profound regret and painful longing. His lips barely parted as he whispered my name into the quiet breeze, sounding like a desperate, yearning prayer."Katherine..."I pursed my lips, completely unfazed by his stare, and shifted my cold gaze back to my crazy sister."Look," I said smoothly, gesturing toward him. "Your husband is here. He has come to fetch you be
Katherine’s POVI stared out the massive glass window of my bedchamber, my eyes narrowing sharply at the familiar, pathetic figure standing down at the castle gates."What is she doing here?" I asked Francisca, my voice completely cold and detached as I watched my sister pace back and forth outside. "I certainly do not remember issuing her an invitation to visit my home."I rolled my eyes, a harsh scoff escaping my lips. Frankly, I knew exactly why Sofia was here. She only came to drag her pathetic drama to my doorstep, or to try to figure out exactly what ammunition I was holding to bring her down even further."Should I tell the guards to let her in?" Francisca asked hesitantly.I gave a slow nod. "Let her in. After all, no matter how hard I try to avoid her, destiny always seems to find a way to drag her miserable face back into my life."Francisca bowed and relayed the order. A few minutes later, I made my way through the grand hallways and stepped out into the sunlit garden to e
Sofia’s POV"This cannot be happening!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, my voice violently echoing off the stone walls of my bedroom.I had desperately tried to convince myself it was just a vile rumor. A pathetic, attention-seeking lie meant to upstage my grand wedding. But no—she was actually pregnant!I paced frantically back and forth across the extravagant rugs, my fists clenched so tightly my nails dug painfully into my palms. I let out another piercing shriek of rage. "I cannot believe this! She cannot ruin my plans!"I stormed out of my bedroom, my chest heaving with outrage. It had only been a few hours since the wedding disaster. Nikolai had just finished emptying his newly unlocked inheritance to pay off my humiliating debts, and now this absolute nightmare of a revelation was ruining my entire day.More importantly, Katherine's pups were a direct threat to my own child's future claim to power! This could not be true. No. No fucking way.As I marched down the corridor,
