Lucius’ point of view

“What were you thinking?” I snapped at her as she furrowed her eyebrows looking at me.

“I am sorry. But are you not the one who asked people to challenge me if they wanted to be appointed captain?” she raises her brows.

‘She is right. It was you’ Zane, my wolf added.

“I did. But I did not think you would be foolish enough to accept the challenge knowing that you are injured,” I growled.

There is a look of confusion on her face as she covers her breasts, but I cannot but notice all the blue marks on her body.

“How did you know about—” She pauses when we hear voices coming towards the tents.

“That does not matter. You took a fucking risk, which you should not have,” I fumed as he shook her head in disbelief.

I was worried about her and the fact that Ben might have realized she was hurt and used that to his advantage.

‘She was holding back. We have seen her fight, and that was just nothing’ Zane echoes on as I stared her down.

“I am fine. And broken ribs will heal

    Bianca’s point of viewI stood there with my hands in my pockets watching Benny being beaten to a pulp but no other than Katrina and said disdainfully, “Is that all? Benny would not be a puppet arranged by Lucius; would he be?” I asked Xavier who let out an exasperated sigh like I was irritating him with everything I was saying.“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked him, raising a brow.‘I do not know, Bianca. You have become so obsessed with Katrina that I cannot have a conversation with you without talking about her,’ he complained, putting his hands in his pockets as I watched Katrina try to act like the bigger person.“She is not doing anything to him. She should snap his neck if this is not some show they are putting on,” I added, ignoring him and his little tantrum as I tilted my head, watching him and Katrina.“Right, these people all listen to Lucius. Whoever Lucius tells them to submit to, they will submit to.”“It did not even take her more than ten minutes to get him to y

    Katrina’s point of viewTwo days later“So?” Lucius asked me, crossing his arms.I just got back this morning after making my way to the pack. He asked me to check on the details.I looked around the stench of blood filling my nostrils. This tent was so cold and full of bandages.“Um…” I stuttered, not sure I could even manage to sleep in this room. It looks like no one has slept in the bed for days.“Katrina? You said you had something to report?’ he asked me as I nodded my head, swallowing hard.“Well, I do,” I say, shaking my head as he tilts his head, trying to check my face, but my mind is anywhere but here.This place needs someone to clear it up. “Why don’t you let someone learn here?” I turn to him as he sighs heavily, Raising a brow.“Well…” he pauses as he looks at the bandages on the bed and chair. “I don’t think anyone wants a leader who seems to be covered in wounds always,” he says to me, looking away from me. My heart breaks for him because he constantly must deal with

    Katrina’s point of viewI finished my training for the day and returned to my tent. I could not keep my mind off that necklace in Lucius’s cabinet.Bianca sneered behind me, “Some people do not even try to pretend. You have ruined the reputation of the Snowpack.”I almost laugh as I turn to look at her. Snowpack? She was worried about the reputation of my pack. How ironic?I turned around and said, “What do you have to do with the reputation of the Snowpack!” Crossing my arms as I raise a brow.“Why are you still pretending to be innocent? I have seen everything. It is only a simple matter for Alpha Lucius to hand over command of the Elite to you,” she says, crossing her arms as she stares me down.I am curious to know if she saw me come out of Lucius’s tent or if it was just her stupid speculations.“Why did you even bother to bring Ben out to play along with you? Do you think that way, the other warriors will be convinced? Do you take everyone for a fool? Do you think people are bli

    Bianca’s point of view“No, I must find a way to take back the Elite Warrior!” I thought to myself, biting on my fingernails like I always do when I’m overthinking somethingI needed to speak to Lucius. I know he will be against me if I decide to do it on my own, so I need to get his permission first. I went to Lucius’s room alone but found two men stationed outside his tent. “I demand to see the commander!” I said to them as they looked at each other.“Not now. Come back later” One of them arrogantly dismissed me as I rolled his eyes.“Do it now. I don’t have time to come back tomorrow,” I demanded when Lucius shouted, “Come in!”I entered and found that Lucius was not alone in the pack tent. There were three other captains, but none of them paid any attention to me,“Commander, since you have summoned all the captains to discuss the situation, why didn’t you invite my husband and me to come along?” I asked, my eyes roaming around his private tent, a bed in the corner, a cabinet just

    Lucius’s point of view‘Make sure you tell her this time.’ My wolf Zane said as I looked at the door Bianca had just walked through.‘No. She can handle herself’ I said, clenching my fists.‘She can, but last time she was furious because you did not tell her. I could tell from the way her aura’ he advises, but I block him out.After Bianca left, Captain Archer asked me, “Commander, the White-Coat Warriors have been handed over to Katrina, so why did you agree to Bianca’s request? Nowadays, although there are fewer troublemakers in the army, there is still a lot of private gossip, saying that Katrina Snow is not worthy of the position. If Katrina Snow loses...” he pauses, glancing.“Katrina Snow will not lose,” I say confidently. Even though I have never seen Bianca, I know with Katrina’s ability, she can’t lose like that.Since there are still people in the reinforcements who are dissatisfied with Katrina, and there are people who want to humiliate themselves and act stupidly, then

    Katrina’s Point of ViewHoly shit! Lucius Grimmwolf is kissing me. His lips are on mine.Fuck.I stand still, unsure how to respond. Should I kiss him back or stand here?This is wrong. This is so wrong on many levels.But why do I feel drawn to him? I lean into his touch, my heart racing even more when he brings his hand to the back of my neck, deepening the kiss,“NO!” I managed to say, pushing him back.I shouldn’t be kissing him; He is my commander, which will confirm all the rumours Bianca has been spreading about me. I can’t risk it.“No! Stop.” I hold out my hand and place it on his chest.Fuck. Why does he have to feel like this when I touch him?I take a step back away from him; he seems so fucking nice, and I know if he weren’t my commander I would have lost myself in his touch.“Forgive me, Katrina. I didn’t…: he pauses.‘Why does he have to be so fucking hot?’ Sage finally says as she surfaces. ‘If you don’t want him, I am happy to block him out for you and take charge’

    Bianca’s Point of View When I returned to the camp, Xavier, worried, rushed up to me. “Baby, why did you bet so much? Katrina Snow’s fighting skills are not bad. She really could beat you. I saw it before in the pack. You must not be impulsive!’” This fucking thing about her being a good fighter was getting on my nerves. Xavier was acting like Katrina would beat me. ‘Relax, I am not acting on impulse. What I am fighting for today is not just the title of general, but also the right to lead the White-Coat Warriors in the future. After the battle in the south, there will not be any more wars in the pack realm for years. What are we going to do if we do not get any official titles?” I said to him, throwing myself on the bed as I started taking off my coat, and then working my way to my boots. “But if you lose, all the credit goes to nothing. And you must apologize publicly, which does not do your reputation any good in the regiment. How are we going to do it, then?” Xavier asked me, a

    Lucius’s point of viewI kissed her. I fucking kissed her.‘And you fucking let her go. We should have claimed her,’ my wolf Zane murmured; I ran my fingers through my air.I can’t believe I did that. Staying away from her is the best option we have right now. I can’t go near her again.‘You will fucking not. She is ours and I will fucking do anything to have her back with me,’ He growled, sounding irritated by my suggestion.‘Yes, we will. We both know Cassian is interested in her, and if that is what I suspect, then we should stay away from her,’ I said, making my way back to my tent.I needed rest for the trip but decided against it. I went to join Noah and his team. As soon as they saw me approaching, they rose to their feet, standing at ease.‘It is okay. Take your seats” I gesture for them, pulling a log for myself. They seem uncomfortable once I join them.This is why I am always alone. Suddenly, the chatter and noise die down once I join them. “That’s how I took the glass

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.

    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.
