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
**Katrina’s point of view“Who did you have in mind when you wore this dress?” his throaty voice comes as he kisses my neck.My breath hitches, my heart drumming so loud.“No one,” I whisper, but he scoffs, bringing his hand to my leg, and gently stroking my thigh. “Liar”Of course, I wore this dress thinking of him. I wanted to see that fire in his eyes when he looked at me.For some stupid reason, I find myself every time wanting him to look at me like I am the only woman in the room.“Do you know what I do to people who lie to me?” He asks me, his hand coming up as I close my eyes.Probably torture them.I nod.He smirks. “Then you know what I will do to you” He whispers, kissing my neck as his hand moves to my front, cupping my pussy.Using his feet, he pushes one of my legs aside, parting my legs as he slides his hand into my thong.“Turn around and look at how hot you look” he turns me around to face the mirror in front of me.I should pull away from him. I should kick him and
Cassian’s Point of View“Why are you doing this, Cas?” Ryan asked me as I looked around the room where the dinner was taking place.“You want to ask me that right now?” I ask him and he shrugs.“There is a shield around us. Why are you—”“Because I can,” I say and with that, I walk away from him. ‘Get me Katrina. I need to see her before dinner’ I link to Ryan making my way to the balcony.“Alpha King” Xavier bows before me as I walk past him and a few other people that I cannot recognise.‘What do you plan to do with her?’ My wolf asks me as I stare out the window. Lucius has his arms around her, and she stands there, letting him touch her.I clench my fists so tight as I take a deep breath.She is mine.His words play in my mind.“I thought you had that thing there sorted out” Princess Ellie asked me, coming to stand next to me as I swallowed hard, turning to her.“Why should I? He is your son. Not really my problem,” I shrug, and she turns to look at me.“Does not look like it is n
Katrina’s Point of View“So how was the dinner last night?” Bray Asks me the next day as I make myself a protein shake after coming back from my run.“Great. One of those nights you just wish you had stayed in,” I say, grabbing our bottles.When I got back into the dining room. I found Lucius had already left the dinner because he had something important to deal with.After dinner, Cassian made sure Ryan dropped me off at the house and I have not heard from Lucius since last night.Was I disappointed? Maybe.‘Of course you are. You guys had a moment, and he just dumps you there. I cannot believe him’ Sage remarks. I can imagine her folding her arms over her chest and I cannot help but smile.Such a drama queen.‘I am not a drama queen!’ She retorts when my phone chimes. I hurriedly rushed to check who was texting me, but it seemed like Cassian was checking on me.“How are you feeling now?” I typed the message, but paused. It does not sound appropriate to text an alpha king like this.
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
