Katrina’s Point of View“So, tell me, Luna Katrina? Did you like my gift?” The alpha king asked me, his hand on my waist, waltzing while everyone watched.“It’s stunning” I forced a smile as he chuckled before I swirled, and he pulled me closer to him. “I am sorry about your pack. I heard— ““You did not know. Did you?” I asked him, looking up at him as he pulled me closer to him. I was hoping he was not another person who tried to keep it away from me.“I Found out about it from Beta Ryan.” He says and I sigh heavily. Thank God he was not lying to me.At least he is still the person I once knew.“Then I believe you will hold her responsible since I can’t do anything without bringing about a war?” I ask him.He keeps quiet but I look at him, wanting to understand what his thinking. He inhales sharply before taking a step back, and I follow his lead. “Blackfang is an ally. I have tried to do as much as I can by...”“That means you won’t get her to stand trial?” I ask him and he raises
Lucius’s Point of ViewA dress? He fucking bought her a dress to wear at his fucking ball. I clenched my jaw, stepping back into the feast he was hosting for us.I strode towards Cassian, who was chatting with Alpha Kieran, obviously trying to get as much information about what was happening.Cunning asshole.“Cousin!” He waved at me as soon as he saw me approaching where he was.Alpha Kieran gave me an affirmative nod before walking away as I approached Cassian.“Kieran was just telling me about Kat. Seems like she— ““Kat?”Since when has he addressed people by their nicknames? Was he drunk?“Katrina. From what he tells me, she seems to be a good soldier. Her father would be proud,” He remarked, a smile curling up on his lips.“He would be, but her mother would disagree with it” I stated, grabbing a drink from the waiter’s tray who was walking by.“True. The luna always wanted her to have a family of herself.” He says, tilting his head and I follow where his eyes are roaming.Katrin
Katrina’s point of view‘Remind me again never to drink on an empty stomach,’ I linked to Sage, who scoffed, rolling her eyes.‘You have not gotten drunk to this point in years. Why on earth would you drink like this till four in the morning knowing you have breakfast with the Alpha King?’ she scolded as I tried to find something appropriate to wear.‘IS this because of the prince?’ She asked me as I swallowed hard. I think at this point I was still drunk.‘You should not have let him kiss us. If my body is craving him. Please try to fight him off,’ I complained, picking a black dress as I scoffed.My entire wardrobe was made of black outfits. Maybe I should think of changing my entire wardrobe.‘You are the one who let him touch us. Also, can we agree he is a good kisser?’ She asked me as I chuckled, pulling out the light pink floral ankle-length sleeveless dress and some flat shoes.There’s no way in hell I am wearing high heels after partying so hard.After changing into my outfit.
Katrina’s point of viewMy heart races as he brings his hand to my thigh. Fuck. I should be fighting him, but I lean in.His touch is like fire caressing my skin. “You are so fuckin beautiful” he whispers as his hand finds the hem of my pant.He buries his head in my neck, nibbling on my skin. A moan escapes my lips as he pushes my pan to the side, his finger rubbing against my clit. “Lucius no. We shouldn’t be doing this” I whispered as he let go of my hands, lifting me as he pinned me against the wall, and he gently slid his finger between my two folds I threw my head back as he pulled away looking in my eyes.“Tell me to stop,” he whispers, his lips so close to mine. I cup his face, crushing my lips against his.I moan in his mouth as he pushes a finger into my core, curving it up as he starts fingering me. “OH Lucius” I moaned.“I need you to be quiet, Kat,” he says as he pushes another finger inside me. I bite down on my lips, trying to hold in the scream that’s about to escape m
Katrina’s point of viewI arrived back in the garden and noticed Lucius was chatting with an older woman who kept checking his face if he was okay. I quickly masked my scent before striding into the garden the alpha King had arrived already, and Xavier was by the table where I was meant to sit.“Hey, Kat!” Joshua waved at me, beaming with a smile as everyone turned to look at me. I forced a smile before going to them. I would rather sit with the captains than share a table with Xavier.I might just end up killing him the way I was feeling.“I saved you a seat.” He said to me, getting up to pull the chair for me. “If only you were always that polite towards women” Becky muttered under her breath.“I am a gentleman to ladies. While you, on the other hand, I would not consider you a lady,” He retorted, and Taylor snorted as Becky tried to hit him.“See what I mean?” He raises a brow, and I shake my head sitting back.“Where is Bray?”“Here. Went to get you a plate” he says coming over wi
Katrina’s point of viewI stood in front of the house I was thinking of renting, and it was exactly what I wanted. I walked around the living room smiling as everyone started rushing to their rooms.“The main bedroom is mine! My boxes are already there!” I shouted after Joshua, who was running after Becky, trying to find a bedroom.“You look sad today” Bray said to me as I turned to him.“Just tired, Bray. Are you not going to check your room?” I asked him and he shook his head.“Whatever I can get is never for me.” He says to me as I look around the house.Thelma would have loved the house. Especially the kitchen. It had an island counter with a stove on it.“Go check on your room. I am sure you will love it” I pushed Bray, who started walking away but stopped midway, glancing at me as I forced a smile.I spent the rest of the time going around the rest of the house, and once I was done. I fixed up my room and after taking a shower.I sat down on the bed, trying to read.*“Kat?”“Ju
Lucius’s point of viewI felt her gaze on me even as we walked to the bike. She did not move and her hands just hung there.“You can put me down. People will start talking” she said to me looking up at me, but I pulled her closer to me.I do not care if people see me, or if they want to talk. She was mine, and I was going to make sure everyone knew it.“You are sick. I cannot let you walk around” I retorted, looking ahead. I did not want to look at her. Because fuck, just one look at those lips. I will want to kiss her again.I would how they would feel around my cock.‘Maybe we should try it next time we are with her’ Zane smirked as I put her on the bike, and she grabbed the helmet.“Here. We will visit the doctor first, then can go home”“I am fine. Just need some rest.”“I wasn’t asking,” I said, putting the helmet on her and then getting on the bike.“Hand here” I said, taking her hands and bringing them around my middle. I loved the way her small hand felt around me. Or the way
Katrina’s point of view“No! How can we take the word of that woman? She brought war to our doorstep. Are we to just believe that she feels she has avenged her mate, and we move on?” One of the council elders growled.“Of course we should. The war began when your daughter decided to go after them. If there is anyone to blame for the war in the last two or three years, it is your pack!” Another council elder accused and my eyes snapped towards Alpha Blackfang, who only arrived this morning.I did not know he was also a council elder.“And what are we to believe? A woman who seems to have a personal vendetta against my daughter. She only accused my daughter because her husband chose my daughter over her,” the man accused.I clenched tight to my pen, trying to keep Sage at bay. She was not having any of this.“Katrina did not send the report. I did. And I have five other people to confirm it.” Lucius retorted, sitting back in his chair.“Oh please. Am I to believe that? Because from what
Lucius’s point of viewMorning Dew. Fresh rain filled my nostrils. Katina’s scent.I snapped my head towards the holding cells. Zane stirred in my mind wanting to make a run for the cells.But when I walked into the little waiting area, my eyes were not drawn to Katrina. It was a woman I had never seen before.She had all the scents Katrina had. “mate” the lips left her plumps lips immediately I walked into the room.Blonde shoulder-length hair with hazel green eyes and a sharp nose. “No,” I shook my head.“What?” She raised her thick brows as I stepped back.“You can’t be…” The words left my lips just as Katrina walked in, her eyes on me, then back to the woman.“No. Don’t come closer to me,” I warned, my heart racing so fast. I wanted to run to her and hold her close to me, taking in her scent.“I am your mate, Lucius.” She whispered, coming closer to me.My eyes snapped to Katrina, whose eyes widened like she had just seen a ghost. Heart drumming so loud, tears filling her beautifu
Katrina’s point of viewWhen I arrived at the barracks, I thought of what I would say to her or do, but now that I was here standing by the door watching her how she was sitting on the floor, knees to her chest and arms curled around them. I felt sorry for her.“What do you want, Katrina?” She asked me as I smiled, walking into the room.“You know he was only twenty-three,” I started, walking towards the window as I looked out towards the training ground.“He wanted to have three kids. Live on a farm and grow things.” I say before turning to her, and she just stares blankly at me with no remorse in her eyes.There was silence in the room, and I could hear her heart pounding so loudly, but she was doing a good job of keeping it together. Go on. Act tough all you want. By the time I am done with you, you will regret ever laying your hands on him.“I should kill you,” I start, and she stills. “But I won’t.”She swallows as I walk towards the screen. “Because death is the easiest way out
Katrina’s point of viewThe priestess went on with the funeral proceedings. Talking about life as a wolf and warrior, Becky gave her speech about how she only knew him for a few months, but felt like they had known each other for the rest of their lives. Then Bray and Taylor also paid their tribute.“You ready?” Lucius whispered as I got up, taking the few cards, I wrote my speech getting up.He walked me to the front as my eyes roamed around white coat warriors, snowpack, and other people I couldn’t recognize, who filled the chairs.My eyes went to the back and noticed Martin was here, and just at the end of the other aisle was Xavier, but looking behind him, I noticed another man standing by the trees with a hoodie. His head lowered.‘He didn’t want to attract a lot of people to him,’ Lucius linked to me.Cassian.He came.“Umm…” I started looking at Bray and Becky before putting the cards aside, then looked at everyone.“Joshua, to me, wasn’t just a warrior. He was my brother. When
Katrina’s point of view“Do we know if he had any family?” Noah asked Becky, who was having a cup of tea later in the evening by the countertop.“Seriously, Noah? He just died,” she snapped.“It’s the procedure. I have to—” he stuttered,“He didn’t. His parents left him on a training ground when he was two days old. He didn’t have a pack. Stayed in snowpack for a while, ” I say to him, and he turns to look at me.“Give me a minute,” I said to him, walking into my room, then came back with a file. “it’s his papers,” I say to him and Becky glances at me then back at Noah.“Katrina, this is…”Yes. I planned to make him officially part of the Snow pack, just like the rest of them. “Did you...” Becky paused, looking at the documents.“I planned to ask you guys the other night. It’s what Willow had been working on,” I explained. Her lips parted to say something, but she just burst out crying, covering her mouth.“He always wanted to belong, and that bitch took him away. I should kill her.”
Lucius’s point of view“No. She killed him. She killed Josh. She killed—” She fell to the ground as I held on tight to her, pulling her into an embrace as she whimpered.“He is gone. Josh is gone,” she whimpered, as I cupped her face.“I am sorry, baby. I wish I could take away your pain,” I whimpered, my chest tightening. I wish I could take the pain away from her and let it be all mine.She stares at me, tears rolling down her cheeks, as I pull her into a hug, and she whimpers loudly.I have never seen her so broken. If Thelma’s death broke her, then this one has crushed her soul completely. “Lucius, I lost him. I lost my friend. I failed to protect him,” she whimpered, holding tight to my jacket as I nodded my head.“I know, baby,” I whisper and let her cry her heart out. Boddy shaking and voice getting huskier.‘Noah. Get some people to take the body to the mogul.’ I linked to him.‘Got it,’ he replied.“I cannot protect them. I cannot even…” Her breath comes in rapid bursts. I ho
Katrina’s point of viewA cry tore from my throat, so unhinged. My heart is pounding against my chest.“You killed him?” I looked up at Katrina, holding Joshua’s warm corpse in my hands, my lips quivering and hands trembling.“You took him away from me. You Bitch!!” The growl left my lips as I put Joshua on the ground.“I warned you, didn’t I? I told you if you ever hurt any of them. I will cut you limb from limb,” I growled, my claws coming out and my canines elongating.‘Katrina, don’t lose your soul,’ Sage echoed, but I was already on my feet, taking steady strides toward her.“Katrina. Please—” Before I could hear the rest, I let that darkness deep inside me take over as I surged at Bianca, but her brother was already in front of her, trying to shift.“Fuck Martin Do not shift!” I heard Lucius shout over his shoulder as he came to stand in front of me.‘Get out of my way, Luc.’ I linked to him, but it came out as a growl to him, and he shook his head.“Calm down, Katrina. Don’t do
Katrina’s point of view“Orion Snow? How did you… how…” I stuttered, tears rolling down my cheeks as he came closer to where I was.“Shannon did a bit of digging, plus your friend Juniper gave me the details,” he says, as I bring my hand to my mouth. He was trying to find them as well.“Let’s go.” He places his hand on my small back, leading the way. I make my way out of the room when I see Bray, Joshua, and Becky pacing around.“I take it I don’t have to punch him again?” Joshua asks, and I shake my head, chuckling softly.“Like you would stand a chance,” Lucius mutters under his breath“Well, at least I tried,” He retorts.“That was brave and stupid,” I say to him, and he shrugs.“At least he knows some people are willing to kill for you,” he laughs, wrapping his arm around Bray’s neck. “Isn’t that right, Bryan?” he asked. Bryan tried to get away from him, but he held on tight.“Where are we going?” Becky asks to join us.“I am going to Green Point. You and them are going back home.
Katrina’s point of view“Let’s get married,” he says, and my heart stops.I lift my head to look at him, and he seems serious about this. He is not joking, but serious. He wants to marry me.“Lucius. We can’t”“I will leave everything. My title, my name, my position. Just marry me” He murmurs, and I shake my head. I am not subjecting his family to something like this.“Lucius This Is—”“Say yes and I will walk away from everything for us,” he says, but I don’t think I am ready to make such a decision.“Lucius, I love you, but don’t you think this is just too rushed? You just can’t wake up and leave everything in the middle of the war,” I shake my head.‘Marry him and leave everything. For once, Katrina, put yourself first,’ Sage remarks.‘I’m not that selfish. You know that.’ I snap, staring at the man who is willing to risk everything for me.“No one would marry us. It’s a forbidden union,” I insist.“A couple of packs owe me favors.” He comes closer, wrapping his hand around my wais
Lucius’s point of view“No, Mother. You can’t issue such an order. I am the fucking commander!” I growled, and she shook her head in disbelief.“I warned you about that girl, didn’t I? She is trouble. Now she sent her men to come and kill you,” she growled as I rolled my eyes. Trust my mother to be dramatic about something like this. How could she think Katrina would hurt me?“Mother, please. It was just a fight. He got angry, plus he was drunk.” I had insisted, but she also insisted and used her power to have Joshua locked up.Now I had to face the fury of one particular blonde, who was covered in black dirt and her hair disheveled. She is mad because she thinks I will lock up her family.“Lucius,” she pulled away from me, the taste of tears and mint lingering on my lips.“Forgive me. I am so sorry for acting like an asshole.” I whispered to her, and she pulled back.“It’s fine. I would have acted like that as well,” she says, sniffling back.“I can’t believe you would lock him up. N
