Chapter five

Reigns pov

She had fallen asleep curled in the sleep from exhaustion.

When she woke up after stumbling into my room, I only intended to teach her a lesson for disturbing my peace. That was all.

Somewhere between her resistance and surrender, something changed.

I found myself drawn in, unable to let go. The way she held me, the sound she made, every glance from her glossy eyes. I wanted more again and again.

She was unlike any wolf I have taken to bed.

When I asked her name, she barely managed to say it.Katherine. I was intrigued by the effects I gave her. She was quite strong for an omega.

I could smell her sadness, her ache and her hunger to forget.

I wanted to conquer all.

Now I simply watched her sleep. The morning light shined over her bare shoulders, her hair spiraled across the pillow. She shifted in her sleep, the sheets fell slightly, and I could see the marks I had left on her.

The hickey trailed from her neck to collarbones then down to where the shits hid. A silent claim. One she won’t forget in a hurry.

Her lashes fluttered, she turned then her eyes shot open. Wide and startled.

She sat up in a rush. Wincing faintly at the pain she felt in between her legs and all over her body. She looked at me briefly before looking away.

“I paid for it,” she said, quickly reaching out for her clothes. “I can go now right?”

She put on her clothes with hurried movements. Covering the marks on her body with her hoodie.

Before I could answer she was gone. The door closed behind her.

I didn’t move nor did I chase.

Because it wasn’t over.

The little wolf thinks she can bury the night in the shadows but she was wrong. I smirked.

I will see her again and I will give her the answer to her question.

Zeke saw the little wolf leaving my room. He had entered a few seconds after she left so I’m sure he had seen her.

“Is that… an omega?” He asked, closing the door behind him.

I didn’t bother moving from where I was. “She disturbed my sleep.”

Zeke looked at me and said “she looked like she paid for it.”

“Not until I say so.” I finally stood up from where she had left me.

He lifted one of his brows “Most will call that settled.”

“I’m not most.” I said, trying to put something on.

Since we were close to the New Haven pack, he already knew where her scent came from. His eyes lit with recognition.

“You do realize she’s from the New Haven pack?”

“I’m aware.” I replied calmly.

She was supposed to be nothing more than a brief distraction but she had spiked up my interest.

Now I’m intrigued.

Because the little wolf owed me and I intended to collect.

Katherine’s pov

When I woke up. I didn’t waste a second. I quickly grabbed my clothes and left, ignoring the pain I felt.

I had to make it back to the pack before anyone noticed I was gone.

Before they realized I had snuck out.

Every step I took sent aches through my body and in between my legs. It was a reminder of what had gone down last night. I blushed.

I had to make it to school today.

The walk back home was endless. I covered my face with my hoodie tugging at it like I wanted to hide the truth clinging to me.

I reeked of him.

His scent stuck with me. In my skin, my hair and inside me. The intoxicating mix of power and danger. The kind that could brand a wolf.

I managed to sneak back inside my room. I shut the door and leaned against it for a moment to catch my breath. Then I headed to the shower.

I needed to scrub him off me.

I caught sight of myself in the mirror. I gasped. My stomach sank.

The hickeys were everywhere. I traced my hand over one and blushed at the memories of last night.

I couldn’t hide any of these without layers. And even then the scent would still linger.

I turned the shower on as hot as I could get it and stepped inside. Letting the steam rise around me. It was scalding me but I didn’t mind. I looked for the lavender soap and kept rubbing on my skin till my hands hurt.

Deep down I knew no matter how hard I tried. Some part of him would still linger.

My wolf has been quiet. She hasn’t said a word since I locked her out last night.

No nagging, no mate bond, no nothing just silence.

I knew it was about what happened last night. I was going to sort things out with her later.

Right now my priority was not to look like I had a one night stand with a strange wolf I didn’t know. No limp in my walk, no red cheeks, no mark should make it outside my clothes.

I needed to walk out like nothing had happened. Meanwhile everything in me screamed something had happened.

By the time I made it to the training ground the others were already half way through warming up.

I managed to skip into the line as calmly as u could.

But Felicia noticed.

Of course she did.

Her eyes narrowed at the fact that I was late, which I never was. To the layers of clothes that were too much for training. And then her nose twitched and sniffed me.

I felt her eyes on me.

She couldn’t handle the suspense anymore so she asked. “Katherine why do you…”

I shot her a look sharp enough to shut her up. I moved towards her covering her mouth with my hands. “Not here,” Wolves had good hearing. I didn’t want them eavesdropping.

Her brows pulled together but she nodded.

I opened a mindlink between us. Fine I will tell you, just keep your voice down.

The moment I told her what happened and flashed her some images. She paused her eyes wide. She screamed through the mind link. ‘YOU WHAT!!!’

Shhh!!. I held onto her hand to steady her before someone noticed.

She stared at me repeating what I told her. ‘You had a one night stand with a strange wolf after sneaking out?’

I winced because of how loud she was. ‘I will really appreciate it if you stop screaming through the link.’

Did you say his eyes were red? Her shock shifted to curiosity.

Yes. I said

She went silent and I knew

her investigation level has hit its peak.
