Kai’s POVKai encouraged me. I smiled at him, an innocent small smile with the purest intentions but that triggered his hormones. The bulge on his breeches began to build and I found myself staring at the body part. Again, I had not intended anything with my stare but he looked at me and said, "That's the exact gaze that commands the loins of a man, Katara.” He said. My lips went dry and my tongue snaked out on impulse to lick it. He had not moved an inch from where he stood, now backing the window. "Perhaps, I have applied more effort than I should?" I asked. He laughed, throwing his head back in an awkward way that reminded me of the feral nature of wolves. His perfect dentition appealed to me in every way. "You possess a perfect dentition.” I said without much thought. "That is the first compliment from you, Katara. Thank you.”He had said ‘Thank you’ to me and he was holding my gaze as he spoke. I felt the strength to get up from where I was seated and walked up to him. I th
"Your pack has exited the royal grounds. Why not go with them and tomorrow? I shall visit your camp and take you with me. For today, they might look for you and not find you. Go to them, now," I commanded coldly. I had wanted to pacify her but I was still cold towards her even without meaning to. She let go of my hand and stepped away. She looked down on her ornamented arms and began to fiddle with her rings and bangles which all shone under the night torches. She was making no move to leave and rejoin her pack "I have no parents nor siblings amongst my pack. I have no one to call me back when I am not among them. Please let me stay and work in the castle. Or, can I stay with the slaves? Is there a place I can stay with the slaves? " She asked. Her smile that had temporarily disappeared had returned to her face and she was beaming again. Her face was alive with hope at the prospect of staying in the slaves quarters. "You will work as my maid, then. How do you intend to work, If I
Alpha Kai's POV For the first time, I woke up without Katara by my side even though we had slept together the previous night. I kicked my legs around the sheets and tried to open my eyes fully but the rays of the bright sun forced me to blink rapidly for seconds before relaxing my gaze on the room and in the direction of the light that streamed into the room. Had Katara opened the curtains? Where had she gone to that she did not find me worthy of knowing? Had she thought that waking me up could have upset me? While I was still wondering on what to do with myself, a certain lass young lass who, from her appearance had not seen more than two decades walked in. She had not knocked. Had the doors been left open too?"What do you want?" I asked her coldly while she was yet to reach me. She was bearing a tray and her eyes dazzled. I did not keep a record of the domestic staff and I had no idea how many where recruited each day. Neither did I know how many were sent away on a daily bas
Kai’s POV I appeared feets behind her but she did not see me. She continued to wrestle with the trees she had been wresting with. She had a sword in a firm grasp and would not stop the fight with two different be branches. I stood there watching her as she retreated backwards, still focusing on her prime enemies, the trees. It aroused a sense of admiration, watching her fight with the sword so bravely. Perhaps, her abduction had opened her up to what she could really do. She took one step back and the sword was on my neck. I had not suspected that. Had she seen me come stand behind her? Had she been retreating gradually because she knew I was behind her? "What do you want, Kai?" She seethed, still without looking back. "Did you see me walk here?" I asked her instead. "That does not answer my question, now, does it? I have asked you, what is it you want? Why have you come to disrupt my training?" She asked. I did not reply. She pushed the sword against me and because I would
Katara’s POV I had just had the best sex of my life with Kai, I was still on top of him, spent and sated when the hooves of wildly galloping horses floated to our ears. Our wolves heard it… The noise seemed closer with every beat. "That must be the soldiers who had gone out in search of you.”"What? You do not mean that, do you? Go out in search of me for what reason exactly? And why were they not with you when you came here?" "I had asked that they go into different parts in pairs while I had come alone. It happens that I found you first. They are probably following my trail", The sounds got even closer as he spoke.”Get dressed and I shall address the men before they appear here," he said as he sprang to his feet and snapped his breeches. I dressed up just before the men rounded us up. I was standing right next to Kai as they all began to alight their horses to curtsy. "I see you found the Luna yourself, my Lord" One of the guards remarked. Kai said nothing other than a mild n
My Lady, do you need the torch?" I heard Sterling's voice reverberate in the room.. I shook my head. "It is still day, Sterling.”"But you can hardly see in the dark room. It is as dark as a dungeon and I do not wish to see you trip and fall, my Lady." Sterling insisted. "I will not fall, Sterling. I am careful with how I tread around here. The gold and the diamond here all shine so Brightly and they are enough to light my path," I said. She nodded and did not press the issue any longer. I wished I could take from the expensive jewels and give to them but I could not. The only time one could give it out was either as a dowry or as a gift to an heir. I finished examining the items and left the room. The treasure room. While I was at the courts the next day, Kai walked in… "You had been in the treasure room?" He asked. "Yes. Does that bother you or anyone else?”"The room is not to be opened whenever you want. It is for special occasions. I have no heir yet and I do not wish to
Alpha Kai’s POV "They want the jewels. The pack you have accepted into Valmore. They are a thieving pack and they want to take our treasures so they can be on their way!" Katara exclaimed. I did not wait even a second as I quickly took them down to where the others were. But Katara raced after me as I ran towards the treasure room. She was fast behind me. As I reached, the door was wide open. Who had opened the door? "I told you. They have invade the castle and would not retreat until they get all our treasures!" She exclaimed. I was at a loss for a moment. What was I supposed to do now that the magicians where not even within reach? As I watched, the chests began to disappear one after the other and I could not save it. I stood there, watching until there was nothing else to disappear. The haze cleared off and the room slammed shut, empty. The guards did not understand what had happened and I was too angry to explain… I left with my men and Katara insisted on coming. Together
Katara’s POV She was on her knees as she pleaded and I was left with no option than let her be. I was right after all. She was not one of the. She had never been one of them… all the signs I had seen in her had been right. "I will not send you back to them. Do not worry. You will stay and serve me here in Valmore," I assured her. She stood up and bowed deeply. "Thank you so much my Luna. What shall I do for you?”She asked. "Nothing. You can go.”I laid there even as my arm had stopped aching. Kai had sent the healer to come with his most potent medicines and he had come just that. I felt better and as he bowed deeply and picked up his tools to leave, I said "Thank you" to him. He was happy and it was evident in his eyes. ***Eight months later I was in the room with Sterling as she journeyed bravely through childbirth. Abramo had not been allowed to come inside and so he was lurking behind the doors, hearing his wife scream as she pushed their baby. "I am not sure I can do t
