Kat's POV

I rounded the corner, my vision blurred with tears I refused to let fall.

My chest ached, like someone was squeezing my heart.

Why did it hurt so much?

Why did seeing him look at me like I was nothing hurt even more than the laughter in the dining room?

I wiped my eyes roughly with the sleeve of my top, not caring if anyone saw me.

I just needed somewhere quiet.

Somewhere to be alone.

Somewhere I could fall apart without an audience.

"Are you okay?" a voice asked softly from behind me.

I quickly wiped at my face with the sleeve of my top, trying to dry my tears before I turned around.

When I looked up, I saw Cindy standing there. She had a worried look on her face, her brown eyes filled with concern.

She was holding a tray with a few empty cups, like she had been helping clean up before she found me.

I tried to smile, even though my throat felt tight and my chest still hurt.

"I'm fine," I said quickly, but my voice came out all shaky and weak.

I wiped at my face again, just

  • Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me   Chapter 92

    Katrina’s POVWe both burst into laughter, that easy kind of laughter that makes your shoulders drop and your chest feel lighter. Mira laughed so hard, her eyes crinkled and she had to hold her stomach. I joined in too, even though deep down, I was still thinking about everything she'd said before.Even as I smiled, my stomach fluttered with nervous butterflies. Mira was right, and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. Liam wasn’t just interested in me for a short time. He was serious. About me. About us.It scared me a little—how fast everything was happening—but it also made something warm bloom in my chest. He was the Alpha of River Moon, and somehow, out of everyone, the moon goddess had chosen me to be his second chance at happiness. That thought alone made my head spin.Mira gave me a knowing look, like she could read every emotion on my face.“So,” she said, nudging me with her elbow, “what are you wearing for Tharos Menae tomorrow night?”I blinked, confused. “Tharos what?”“Tharos Me

  • Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me   Chapter 91

    Katrina’s POVMy whole body still felt warm. Buzzing, even. I was trying to walk straight, but my legs were like jelly. Liam had literally wrecked me in the woods with just his hands and mouth—and then had the nerve to act all calm and smug about it.He helped me pull my jeans back up while I leaned against a tree for balance. I felt the cool fabric brush against my still-sensitive skin, and I bit my lip, trying not to gasp. I reached for my underwear, but Liam was faster.He scooped it off the forest floor, dangled it between two fingers, and tucked it right into his pocket like it was no big deal. Like he did this all the time.“You’re not getting this back,” he said with a cocky grin, his voice low and playful.My eyes widened. “Liam!” I hissed, glancing around the trees like someone might’ve followed us.He just winked at me. “It’s a souvenir.”I was so embarrassed. But also kind of flattered? Ugh. He always did this to me—making me feel shy and bold at the same time.He took my ha

  • Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me   Chapter 90

    Katrina’s POVLiam turned to face me fully. His expression was intense. His silver eyes looked darker now, filled with something heavy and hungry. There was no more calmness in them. Only heat.Before I could say a word, he stepped forward quickly and cupped my face with both hands. His grip was firm but gentle, like he was afraid I might disappear if he didn’t hold on tight.And then he kissed me.Hard.His lips crashed against mine like a wave, wild and full of need. I gasped softly from the suddenness of it, but I didn’t pull away. I melted into the kiss, grabbing the front of his shirt and holding on like it was the only thing keeping me upright.His mouth moved with urgency, his breath hot and uneven. I could feel his chest rising and falling fast, just like mine.It was like something inside him had snapped.He kissed me until I was breathless, until my knees felt shaky and I had to lean into him for support. Then, without warning, he spun me around and pressed me back against a

  • Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me   Chapter 89

    Katrina’s POVBut it wasn’t her.It was Mira.I let out a shaky breath and sagged in relief. My knees felt a little weak, and my heart was still thudding in my chest like I’d just run a mile.“Oh my God, Mira,” I breathed out, placing a hand over my heart. “You scared the life out of me.”She gave me an apologetic smile. “Sorry! I didn’t mean to sneak up on you like that. You were kind of spacing out.”“Yeah,” I mumbled, shaking my head a little. “I thought I saw something weird in the mirror. Probably just my imagination.”She tilted her head at me, eyes soft with concern. “Are you okay? You look a little pale.”I forced a small smile. “Yeah… I’m fine. Just tired, I think.”Mira didn’t push me for more. Instead, she reached out and gently grabbed my hand. Her palm was warm, and her touch helped calm my nerves a bit.“Well,” she said with a grin, “in that case, come on. I realized I haven’t shown you the sparring grounds yet. It’s one of my favorite places. You’ll love it.”I nodded,

  • Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me   Chapter 88

    Katrina’s POVThe moment we touched, she gasped.A loud, sharp intake of breath. Her hand gripped mine tighter, and her head lifted suddenly. Her lips parted, and for a second, she looked shocked. Maybe even frightened.Then her voice came out, low and full of wonder.“Power,” she whispered. “So much power.”My heart jumped in my chest.I frowned slightly and looked at her, confused and uneasy.What was she talking about?How could she possibly know?I swallowed hard. My fingers twitched, but I didn’t pull away. Not yet. My thoughts were moving too fast, spinning around in my head like a storm.Did she somehow know about my silver flame powers? The ones I didn’t fully understand myself? I hadn’t told anyone about my powers. So how?Her next words chilled me to the bone.“Your light…” she began, her voice shaking slightly, like she was struggling to speak it out loud, “...is going to bring darkness your way.”I blinked. My mouth parted, but I still couldn’t form any words. I just stare

  • Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me   Chapter 87

    Katrina’s POVShe was standing quietly, her eyes locked on something across the square. I followed her gaze and saw a group of teenagers laughing together. One of them—a tall boy with curly brown hair and a red hoodie—stood out. Mira kept staring at him.I smiled a little and leaned toward her. “You like him, don’t you?”Mira’s cheeks turned bright red. “What?! No… I mean… maybe a little.”I chuckled. “You totally like him. You’ve been staring at him for like five minutes.”She covered her face with her hands for a second, then peeked out between her fingers. “He’s just really cute.”“Then go say hi,” I encouraged her gently.“I can’t!” she gasped, shaking her head. “What would I even say? What if he doesn’t remember me from school? What if I sound stupid?”I sm
