Conrad'"Keep them both detained," I barked at one of the warriors. I couldn't afford letting Andrea and Ricardo's girlfriend slip out of my grasp. Thankfully, my warriors had come on time to save me from getting shot by Andrea, but they might not always be available and it seemed to me that he was like a beast that could attack at anytime. They were chained but there was no telling what they could have up their sleeves.I turned back to tend to Ricardo's body lying half dead on the floor. He had been shot in the chest.Before we left the field where everything had happened, Katherine had somehow managed to notice that Ricardo was still breathing though it was with so much trouble. We managed to get him back to the pack mansion to see if there was a way that we could save him, and though I feared that the chances were slim, I could not just put it to Katherine like that. It was definitely going to hurt her so much. And just as I went on with my thought process, her voice interrupt
KatherineIt was autumn, my best season of the year. I liked autumn because it signified transitions and new beginnings which was exactly what had happened to me.The mix of warm and cool colors and leaves on trees changing from green to vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange, creating a picturesque landscape was just beautiful. These leaves eventually fall to the ground, creating a crisp, rustling sound as they brush against one another in the wind.The cool autumn air often accompanied by strong and gusty winds blows the leaves around. The air was always full of the smell of burning wood, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice emanating from households as families light up fires and bake delicious treats to warm up.It was all perfect as was my life now.I was sitted on the couch in my sitting room taking in the contents of the news that I could understand while reflecting on my life."Ricardo."I caught a glimpse of the name on the television screen and my mind wandered to all that happen
KatherineThey said having a partner makes everything beautiful and that marriage was a blessing, but it was not the case with mine.My life only felt more empty and hollow as the days went by, now three years since I got married to Conrad.He never did anything that made me feel like his wife, or showed any care to me. The three years that I had lived with him, the thing that was a constant in my life was sadness. And it only got worse. Bringing my mind back to reality with the burning smell of the curry sauce, I turned the cooker off.Without wasting any more time, I cleaned up the kitchen and served the food on the dinning. My husband Conrad was not back yet, though I wished he could walk right in and join me for dinner. He never did. I picked up my phone and tried calling him to know how soon he would be back. But paused on a second thought. He had told me one time to not call him if there was nothing serious that I wanted to say, which was exactly why I did not go on. Left
KatherineEven as the words left my mouth, I was still not sure that it was the right thing that I was doing. But I wanted to go ahead.Conrad had brought me to my extreme, and getting a divorce suddenly felt like the best thing to do.His face was still pale in shock from what I had said. If he could just tell me that he loved me and wanted to be with me at that very moment, then I was sincerely ready to put away all the hurt and start a new life with him."What did you just say? You want a divorce?" He asked me again, and I nodded in response. With my face stoic.I bet he was wondering what gave me the guts or where exactly I had gathered the nerves from to propose a divorce.The answer wasn't far though. Nina was right.I had been living my life trying to please him and please people regardless of how I was trampled on.But I did not want to anymore."Oh! It's good you want a divorce. I should have done it long ago anyway. Well in that case we should make it official."The last tin
KatherineAs I spoke to Aiden, my father's beta, waiting to hear my father's verdict at the small restaurant downtown which he made us go to, my heart was in my throat.I knew that I had been framed and even though I was yet to find out who was responsible, I knew that it was only a matter of time before the person showed his or her hand and going back to the pack was very dangerous."Your father has said that he would not force you to come back if you are not ready to but the only option he has is for you to become the general manager of the pack business, Imperial group." Aiden said and when he looked at me, I see that there was something that he had not said."I don't have a choice in the matter, do I?" I asked and when he nodded, my entire body froze."What is he going to do if I don't take up this position that he has asked of me."Aiden's face was serious as he looked at me before he answered"He will attack the Shadow pack."Swallowing hard, I nodded, letting him know that I h
KatherineDo you know how it feels to be a spectator in a theatre, watching a movie but having absolutely no control over what is happening? That was exactly what was unfolding in the villa as I turned around from where Clara had fallen to the ground to see Conrad looking at us with wide eyes from where he was standing at the entrance.Like something out of a movie, Conrad rushed towards us, pushing me aside as he helped Clara who was pretending to be really hurt as she wiped tears from her face, to her feet.Touching her cheeks gently, he looked into her eyes with panic and love. Love that was missing anytime he looked at me and from the way he touched her body with familiarity, I had no doubt that they were seeing each other in secret, a truth that made me feel like a knife was being squeezed into my heart."Are you alright? Did she hurt you?" Conrad asked her and when Clara shrugged, still wiping at her eyes, he patted her hair gently and helped her to dust her clothes."I don't kn
Conrad"This will probably be the last time you see me as your wife. The next time we will meet, even though I would rather eat broken glass than see you, it will be as strangers. You don't deserve me. Not your pack. Not your family and certainly not you, most of all. I hope that you find whatever you are looking for." Katherine said, her grey eyes cutting deep into me and for the very first time as she looked at me, I saw hatred. Intense hatred.Not once in three years even after everything I had done to her had her eyes ever looked this cold.But as her eyes looked like swirls of storm and as she turned her back on me, I knew that she would never beg me to love her again. That she was indeed done with the marriage.It stunned me into silence and I did not even realize that I had started moving towards the stairs after her until someone held my hand and when I tried to pull away, Clara sobbed.Angry, I dragged her out of the house towards where my car was as she kept crying."Stop it
KatherineExhausted from the long walk home, I dumped the contents of my bag on the kitchen counter. It had been two days since I left Conrad's house. I had rented a small apartment still in the Shadow pack.While I was still the Luna of Shadow pack, I was exempted from doing things like this, going to the mall, having a job, cooking, cleaning. My roles and duties were quite different but now I had to do everything myself. When I divorced Conrad, I had automatically given up all the perks and privileges of being a Luna.Though the black card, that my father's Beta handed to me made me rich overnight, I wanted to stay on the low for the time being. I had to be responsible for myself and make my own decisions. I was so tired and thirsty that I had to use the last ounce of energy in me to get cold water from the fridge which I hastily gulped down, then fell back on the kitchen stool.The kitchen had already become a mess with the way I dumped what I got from the grocery shop, but I plan
