Katrina’s point of viewHe led the way through the crowd as everyone stared at me. My eyes roamed around, spotting the pit fire in the middle of the camp with the men and women around it.He opened the tent for me to walk in and I lowered my head slightly.I walked into his command tent and was immediately choked by the powerful smell of blood. I tried to hold it in as he led the way.“Damn, this stinks’ Sage remarked.“Well, this is war. People are injured every minute so nothing surprises me’ “It stinks.’ She complains.“This is where you and I should be. You need to toughen up,’ I retorted, my eyes searching and on guard.“No, thank you. Give him his report and get me out of here’ The tent was sparsely decorated and furnished, with bloody bandages and scattered pills everywhere. There was an enormous map on the table. This is the battlefield.It looked very deserted, like a mobile bed on the move, without any trace of home. My eye roamed all over the room but he just stood ther
Katrina’s point of view“You are not the only one in business with Silverfox.”“When I was still a child, I used to go to the Silverfox Pack, where I heard about a very naughty but also very talented little girl called Kat. Everyone at Silverfox spoke highly of her, and she was the one doing all the tricks. Was that you?”I wanted to cry the moment I heard it.“He heard about us?’ Sage asked, raising one of her thick browsSince the tragedy, I was no longer the girl who could do whatever she wanted thanks to the support of her family.“I am not sure. Kat is a very common name, and I'm sure Silverfox has many little girls named Kat.” I retorted,He holds my gaze, but I am the first to look away. My knees are giving in and my eyes are heavy.After five days of non-stop travelling, I was a little tired and felt my legs go weak.I was about to fall to the side, but Lucius caught me before I hit the ground. That was fast. My eyes widened as I looked into his eyes.My heart races when I’m
Cassian’s point of viewTwo months later, Alpha King’s Pack HouseLooking up from my work, something crosses my mind that it’s been quiet the last few months from Katrina after she was taken back to her pack, Snow.I asked Ryan my beta, “Has Luna Katrina made any recent moves?”Beta stifled a smirk and teased me. “If you want to know, you can ask her yourself. Last time I checked, your legs are free.”I scoffed, shaking my head. She's never serious about anything. Of course, I want to know how she is doing, but I just can’t show up on her doorstep to check how she is.“I don’t want to know if she’s fine. Just want to know if she’s still going about making accusations,” I retorted,Lies. Those were lies.I wanted to know how she was doing. I needed to know that she was safe.“Well, no report has come from the men there. It seems everything is normal” he doesn’t look up from his book, which he seems to be buried in these days.Maybe I was too harsh on her, but she shouldn’t have lied li
Xavier’s Point of ViewI’m going to war again. It’s something I thought we would stay away from in our first year of marriage.Katrina had to offer herself to go to Crescent Pack.We still tremble at the pressure of Alpha King’s rage. The man has a way of instilling fear into you that you just can’t help but submit. His aura is just too powerful. Bianca was still immersed in the excitement. Her eyes are full of anticipation for war. I know she has always been born for war, and she is only at her best on the battlefield.I knew from the first moment I saw her on the battlefield that I would never find another she-wolf like her.She was the one for me.She hasn’t stopped taking tactics and what we need since we stepped out of that office. She has everything planned out.This is what I love about her. Once she is going to battle. She becomes this badass who will not let anything stop her.She was so perfect for me.After we left the Pack House, I stopped Bianca, who had been giving me t
Katrina’s point of viewThe wolves fought in the night, and we won again.It had been a long night, but we finally could come out victoriousOne warrior asked me in awe, “Kat, how many wolves did you get?”I said, “Too many to count.” Trying to stretch my arms, my shoulder was aching from that awkward fall I made on it earlier.“Ninety-eight.’ Sage added.“Keeping count now?’ I asked her, trying to catch my breath.“Well, you need a hundred one of these days.’ She added.One of them handed me a bottle of water, and the other young men made some noise. Handing each other some notes.I’m sure it was a bet they had made about my response, which was always my answer after a long night. I looked at the young boy in front of me, who had just come of age, and took it. I open it, gulping down everything in one go.I concealed my identity and joined the squad I’m in now. To them, I’m no longer Luna or Katrina, just Kat.It wasn’t easy at first trying to take orders from someone, but I’m slow
Cassian’s point of viewRyan, my Beta, said excitedly, “Kat is truly the daughter of Alpha Snow! Katrina even burned the supplies of the Crescent Pack with a small team!”I finally smiled as I read the report sent to me by Lucius. A smile tugs on my lips just thinking of what she has managed to do in the little time she has been there.I was furious when I found out a few days ago that she had slipped past the security that Ryan had sent over. Makes me wonder how she could slip past them.“Have Lucius informed her? From now on, she is an official warrior in the army, a first-class captain. Once she helps Lucius banish the Crescent Pack from the south, she will be promoted to full Pack warrior.” I instructed Ryan,I remember that she was always different from the girls I met. From Jamie’s personality, he was calm and careful in everything he did. Ever caused any problems for anyone but Katrina? She has always been trouble.I remember the first time I saw her. I had visited Jamie for t
Lucius’s point of viewThe past few weeks have been surprisingly different from everything that has been happening. Katrina has proven to be more useful than I expected, but I still don’t trust her motives for coming here.“I’m thinking we send over someone to just check the situation on the south,” Noah, my second, suggested, pointing at the map.We were in the pack camp, discussing the strategic plan for the next week. “Perhaps if we sent our scouts to first access. With a day’s ride they might get there and back” Katrina suggested, clearly calculating.She shouldn’t be here. She should be far away from this just like how her mother wanted, but she was here leading a team.“I can’t believe we still haven’t claimed her as ours’ my wolf hissed, making me roll my eyes.“Zane, I have made it clear. Her mother said no.’“Fuck that. She won’t stop us’ He retorted, a smirk on his face.“No! We respect her wishes. And don’t try to fucking claim her without my consent,’ I added.The past few
Katrina’s point of view “Oh no, it’s Xavier! We have to hide!’ My wolf sage was the first to pick up the scent. My heart pounds hard as I try to find a way out of here.There’s only one exit out of here.“We shouldn’t be hiding from them. They wronged us’ Sage insists, but without thinking twice, I spot the guys in the corner.I quickly hid, and even though Lucius looked at me several times, I had no intention of coming out. Lucius glances at me, his eyes narrowing, but I don’t care. I will have to explain to him later about this.He would throw a fit, but I’m fine with it. At least I don’t have to deal with Xavier.He eyes me with a raised brow but does my best to avoid making eye contact with him. He will use this against me. No doubt.For now, I was going to avoid any confrontations with him and Bianca. Lucius gestures for me with his head to join him, but I decided against it.“Can I kill them?’ Sage asked me, her voice calm, but I know she is furious.“Not now Sage, We need to
Ingrid’s point of viewHe doesn’t want us. He hates us so much and I know it’s because of that woman. A woman who can’t seem to let go of him.‘You can’t blame the luna. It’s our mate who doesn’t want us,’ My wolf Gus retorts. Always the one to come up with a reason. Sometimes I hate her for being such a smartass.‘I can hear you,’ she slaps back.‘Meant for you to hear it,’ I retort. I sink into the chair. Thinking of how I am going to handle this. Lucius is mine. Fated to be mine, but he wants a woman whom he can’t have?“I need to speak with him,” I say, determined. This time, he won’t ignore me. I know he feels the pull between us. Even the way he looks at us says it all.Like when I hugged him this morning. I could feel him lean back on me until that woman had to show up.“Talking to yourself again?” My omega Millie asks walking into the room with her basket of clothes.“Well, thinking about how to win over a man,” I say, turning to her, and she sighs heavily, setting down her ba
Lucius’s point of viewShe won’t fight for us. She doesn’t want to. I wish she thought maybe I was worth it. Worth fighting for, but I guess I am not.People fight for me because they know I can protect them. Others fight for me because of loyalty. No one has ever fought for me because they love me.I had hoped maybe Katrina might fight because she loves me. I sigh heavily, scribbling down on my notepad.“Unfortunately, this should have been communicated to us. Princess Kaelin is like a sister to me. I will not send her there with these conditions,” Cassian snaps.“We are giving you this land. I think it’s safe that she is—”“She is to be treated with respect. I will not have you marrying other women. A mistress or second wife. This treaty is done,” he snaps as Aidan smiles like this is funny. I won’t let my cousin be subjected to that.“I wasn’t suggesting that. I only meant in case she can’t bear children,” he adds as I scoff, shaking my head.“And how are we to know you are not the
Katrina’s point of viewNothing can go wrong. I need it to go well.This is an opportunity for me to enter the rogue pack. I kept quiet the entire time while in the front passenger seat.Xavier is driving in front, and Martin is behind with Gamma Suri, while the other cars are with the delegation of twenty from the rogue king.“I hear Lucius found his mate,” Martin says behind me, breaking the awkward silence. I shift in my seat, glancing towards Xavier, who looks through the rearview, then back at me.“I suppose some people are not that lucky with love,” he says, but I just ignore him. He will try to get to me like his sister. I know it.“It’s not her fault if all the men in her life end up failing to fight for her. I know I would,” Gamma Suri retorts as I raise my eyebrows.“Between her and that psycho. I would pick her. But I guess most men think with their cocks,” she retorts. I gasp, glancing at Xavier, who fidgets in his seat.“That psycho is my sister, you bitch!” Martin retort
Lucius’s point of viewI don’t know how long she keeps driving, but when I finally open my eyes. We are by the border; the car has pulled over, and she is unbuckling her seat belt.“What the fuck, Katrina? I had a meeting with Cassian,” I snap, and she sighs heavily.“I am here to welcome the rogue king. I wasn’t going to be late because you have issues going on in your life,” she says, about to get out of the car, when I grab her wrist.I want to pull her into me and kiss her, but I know all this must be hard for her. “You love me, Katrina.” The words leave my lips. It’s the only assurance I have. It doesn’t matter what is happening. I know she loves me, so that’s enough for me.“So? That means nothing.”“It’s enough for me. Knowing that you love me. Not because of a bond but because you do” I whisper to her and her heart races.“Well, if I had known, you planned all this. I wouldn’t have fallen for you. And also, don’t worry. I am working on falling out of love with you,” she growls
Lucius’s point of view“Katrina.” Her name rolls off my lips like a whisper when I see her walking away from Princess Ingrid.Something tells me Ingrid said something to Katrina. I heard her say she didn’t fight for men. Guess I am included in that.“Gerald, send me the details. Let’s catch up later.” I patted his shoulder and bolted the doors.“Luc!” Ingrid turns to me, a smile on her face, while Katrina walks away.“I was fucking clear. Stay the fuck away from me!” I growled, walking away, but she grabbed my wrist. Her touch sends electricity through me. My heart pounds so hard, and I feel my palms getting sweaty.“Don’t you fucking touch me!”“Please. I know you feel it. I know you feel this pulls between us,” she said pleadingly says, but trying to touch me, but I yank her hand away from her grip.“I was clear. I want nothing with you. I don’t want a bond with you.” I spun on my heel, ready to leave.“Is it because of her?” she asks.I stopped in my tracks. Taking a moment, before
Katrina’s point of viewI’m his mate. The woman he wrongfully marked and sent to the goddess, but somehow, I was brought back to life.Three people knew what happened: my father, Lucius, and the witch who performed the spell to bring me back and erase my memories.But who is she? Why can’t I remember her face? I inwardly ask myself as I make my way towards the palace. It’s the first time in seven days that I will probably be here, but Aidan insisted he would feel better if I were here.So here I am playing bodyguard to beta Aidan, but I also didn’t expect to find Lucius and his ‘Mate’ here cuddling.‘He is ours! She can’t have him,’ Sage fumes.I don’t know where I stand, but he isn’t ours.He never was.My heart never learns.“Katrina!” I hear him shout behind me, but I don’t stop and head for the drawing room. I don’t want to hear his excuses.“Katrina!” he tries to touch me, but I spin on my heel, slapping him across the face. The sound of my hand connecting with his cheek echoed i
Lucius’s point of view“Wow. Okay, this is too much to process,” Cassian says to me as I nod my head, throwing back my head.“Fuck Lucius. How could you be so reckless?”“I don’t know. Zane isn’t exactly someone I can rein in. He was a beast back there and everything he wanted he got,” I snap, sitting up and burying my face in my hands.‘So, this is my fault?’‘Fuck yes.’‘Really? Cause I told you not to tell her, and you didn’t listen. If there’s anyone to blame. It’s you,’ he shoots back.Of course, it is.“Still, Lucius. It was reckless and stupid.”“It was all Zane.”‘So, I am stupid? I will not let him insult us anymore’ Zane growls, and Cassian shakes his head before coming to sit in front of me.“She asked to be part of the team escorting Kaelin to the rogue pack. Any reason she is doing that?” He asks me as I shake my head.“Probably to get away from here as soon as possible,” I mutter, rubbing my face. It’s been a fucking week, and I haven’t seen or even bumped into her. She’
Katrina’s point of view“You are my mate, Katrina. This mark you carry is mine.” Lucius’s voice fills my head, a knowing smile on his lips as he thrusts deep into me.“Yours,” I whisper before digging my canines in his spot. I can’t help but smile.This is what I want to be loved. To be his.For the world to know, I carry his mark. So, tell me why someone is ruining my dream.“We are losing her!” someone shouts, his voice laced with panic and fear. A muffled voice comes barking instructions, and my head feels heavy, and I can’t open my eyes.‘Lucius?’ I try to link to him, but there’s a void. It’s dark. I can’t feel him.‘Sage?’ I call to my wolf, but she is distant. I can’t feel her. Panic courses through my veins. I’m drowning in darkness.A dark void.I have been here before. It’s a familiar place.Dad.I smile when I see him staring at a small light on the other side.“I shouldn’t have lied to you.” His voice comes, but I can’t see his face. “He was yours, but the law can’t allow
Katrina’s point of view“Lucius, you are not making any sense,” I say, but the words come out like a whisper. I have always wondered why I seemed to link with him alone and no one else, but I never gave myself time to ponder it too much.“You shouldn’t say things like that. You know, right?” I say with a sad smile, and he lowers his head, bringing the entire bottle of whiskey to his lips.“What’s this, Lucius?”My questions are met with silence and rather a loud throbbing of his heart. He tightens his jaw, his lisp quivering when he lifts his gaze to meet mine.His eyes linger on my lips, but he sniffles back, shaking his head.“That woman is not my mate,” he says, but it was clear there. Even though he tried to hurt her, he was still her mate. They are fated to be each other’s mate.“Luc...”“She is not my mate.” He pauses, taking a moment. He closes his eyes like he is counting to ten before continuing. “You are my mate.”The silence is deafening. I just stare at him. He must think
