General POV Alpha Kai stood looking at the tranquil water body, for more than an hour before finally looking around for a clean rock to sit on.He hated that he'd wanted his Luna but only ended up in bed with a maid.He hated that he'd fought with his Luna. What if she was hurting?He'd already sworn when he first brought her to Valmore that she'd never see or experience pain. He'd wanted the perfect life for her, away from fear and chaos.He took off his clothes after another hour and entered the water. He splashed and swam until his eyes were reddened for having spent so much time in the water. He walked out of the water. Ignoring the bird that had come down to perch on a branch that was low enough for him to reach.The bed perched there singing melodies that didn't quite excite him as he dressed up and mounted his horse.He would go back to the pack, he would go back to Valmore and see that all was well. He must not leave the people alone for long. ...Katara was still with the
General POV As he held Katara tenderly on the vast bed, he studied her face..her rosy cheeks, her spiky lashes and her beautiful eyebrows all added to his excitement.The freckles dotting her nose looked perfect and her lush lips teased his senses invitingly. "What are you staring at, Kai?"She asked as her eyes fluttered open, knowing that the Alpha had stopped kissing and touching her."At your beauty, my love. You're extremely beautiful."He said as a smile gradually splayed across his face. Katara blushed.She had no experience being with a man in bed and being complimented in the process of lovemaking, and it amused and pleased him. She was seeing all the soft sides of the ruthless Alpha Kai and it seemed like a fairy tale to her. "You're supposed to say thank you, when you're complimented, my love,"He said."Oh. Okay. Thank you."She replied hastily, embarrassed and uneasy. He leaned away form her and spoke. "I'd like to enlighten you on what we're about to do since it's y
General POV Katara sat reclining on Kai who had placed her on the horse and sat behind her. "Where are we headed?" Katara asked for the second time. “It's a spot that I'm addicted to. A small lake and good trees…the most tranquil and beautiful sight around Valmore," He said matter of factly. Katara laughed... "You think it's the most beautiful because it's your favour. I do believe there are many others just exactly like what you're going to show me." She said. He nodded but she didn't see him because he was behind that. "That, I agree on. It appears the most beautiful to me because it is my favourite and soon, it'd be yours too," He said before planting his lips on her neck only briefly to kiss her. They rode the rest of the way in silence, a relaxed and comfortable silence. Katara in anticipation while Kai was totally eager to show her. They got to the spot, a sandy kind of meadow with water running from a fount and colourful birds chirping. The only sound was the chi
General POV She went to sleep, almost satisfied. She would learn to control her powers. She would continue to keep it under check like she'd been doing all her life and only unleash it in the face of troubles. Katara woke up with a throbbing headache the next day and her Alpha was gone. He'd risen before dawn and had left. She took her bath before her maids Could come to her and helped herself into a light dress, that would allow her walk freely. She made her way to the servants quarters, where the maids and guards and the children stayed. They didn't notice her at first In her common dress and then one had exclaimed. "Milady, what brings you here? You're not with escort." "I don't need an escort inside the walls of this castle." She said defiantly. The guard took it upon himself to escort her anyways. She looked around, Elise was not around..she didn't know what exactly she'd wanted to discuss with the child but just felt the need to. She didn't see her so she went back t
The Seeker continued to chant for minutes before saying, without looking at anyone."The people who must bring calamity to this tribe are amongst you."The Dowager mother was getting impatient with the Seeker."I do not understand what you talk about, say it and let us understand you, seeker."She said. The seeker turned and pointed at Alpha Kai who stood with hands interwined with his Luna's, Katara."Him and his Luna and a certain stone bearer will bring ruin to Valmore. They will bring calamity to Valmore! Look out!"The Seeker announced. The people present were shocked.The Dowager mother had a reproachful look on her face and Abramo had a doubtful look on his face. Katara was surprised but she didn't say anything as Alpha Kai held her and walked away. The Seekers left under the escort of the two guards who'd brought them."How is that even possible?"Katara exploded once they stepped into their chambers."I do not know. You heard the Seeker say that you and I and a certain Sto
General POVKatara was in the study with her maids, making embroidery and talking about her future with the Alpha Kai Vicenzo and the maids, Olga and Sterling agreed to all she said.She spoke dreamily and laughed so much In delight that the girls for some second thought she might be mad, mad with so much happiness, perhaps.Alpha Kai walked in unannounced and settled in a chair beside Katara. The maids bowed and at the snap of Katara's fingers, they exited the study."I shall be on my way to some some neighbouring tribes which I still have an affiliation with. I shall go and fetch food for the people before we decide on what next to do."He explained meekly. Katara was silent for a while and so he continued to speak."I would have to go with my Beta, Abramo. It might be a bit difficult to leave the tribe in the hands of an inefficient or unworthy person….and, it might be risky to leave you with anyone other than Abramo but I'll look out for the very best of my men to take care of Val
General POVAlpha Kai returned and told Katara of the Dowager mother's plots even in the dungeon. She'd gained loyalty from the guard who brought her food and through him, they'd started to mobilize men who would in turn usurp Alpha Kai Vincenzo. Alpha Kai had found out through Abramo, who always had a way to unravel evil plans against Kai and the guard was killed.Katara was thoughtful for a moment and thereafter said,"If you will let me, my lord, I will take care of the Dowager mother. Do not unsheath your sword for her sake and do not have her blood stain your sword, every tribe will be against you if you do it."She said those words, knowing the tenets of the Kingdom."So, what do I do then?" he answered. "How do I get rid of her?"He asked petulantly. Katara smiled."Don't worry. I will take care of her. Do have faith in me and let me handle this, my lord."She beamed. Alpha Kai nodded and promptly exited the chambers.His mind, in thoughts of what exactly his mate was up to.W
General POV "What has troubled you so much, my love?"He asked while his hands teased her."It's the Dowager mother. The errand I've been running for the Luna... it bothers me."She said frantically. Abramo stopped trailing his hands along her arm briefly."Be coherent, dear. What errand do you run and why are you talking about the Dowager mother?"He asked. He was seriously interested now in the discussion and his tone of voice couldn't say less."I mean, the Luna's been giving me food to take to the Dowager mother ever since the gaurd who worked there was killed.""Don't forget, he was killed for his conspiracy. He wanted to usurp Alpha Kai but of course, I found out."He said proudly, happy to defend Alpha Kai with all he was worth."Okay. Anyways, I've just been brothered that something might actually be wrong….don't you think so too?"She asked.Abramo shook his head."Whatever happens is for the best. Alpha Kai and his Luna will never be wrong, whatever they do is for the good
