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
Katrina’s Point of ViewMy heart pounded so hard as I looked at the alpha king. He wasn’t serious. There was no way he was thinking of letting Lucius marry a rogue.“Lucius?” Alpha Brett asked, a smirk on his face. He looked at me as I lowered my eyes to the ground.He wanted Lucius to marry someone from the Rogue Pack.“What did you just say?” Lucius asked, looking at Cassian.“You are one of the highest-ranking alphas who are still single. Unfortunately, Bolton is out of the topic, and women in high-ranking positions are married.”“Your Highness, I believe it would be better if we had a woman like Luna Katrina to get married. “I understand that the rogue king is also single,” Alpha Brett remarked with a laugh, and several individuals nodded in agreement.Fuck no.I would rather slit my throat than get married to a man, not of my choosing. Especially a rogue king.“Luna Katrina is out of the question,” he said in a tone that sent shivers down my spine.“Your Highness, she is— ““I sa
Lucius’s Point of View“I am not marrying that woman you are thinking of!” I stormed into Cassian’s office immediately after I followed him behind.He sighed heavily, signing whatever he was working on before shifting his attention to me.“Of course you are. You are single and wealthy. Gamma Suri will be— ““Gamma Suri? You are joking”He scoffs before sitting back in the chair. “Do I look like a joke to you?” He asked me.“This isn’t about uniting the two packs. This is about Katrina, isn’t it?” I ask him, and he doesn’t even bother denying it as he smiles before leaning forward.“You will marry Gamma Suri. I hear she is good in battle and has never been— ““Fuck No! You want to unite your Kingdom, marry her yourself”He sits back, staring at me while I pace around in front of him, but my eyes go out the window. What the hell is Bolton doing with Katrina? Something like possessiveness comes over me, and I want to go and take his hands off her.He can’t be touching her. She was mine a
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
