Katelina’s POVWhen Jer came over to fetch me saying the Alpha requested for my presence, I was already fuming.But something about the red head and the way she stared at me while beckoning me to come closer eased the unsettling feeling in my mind.She looked at me like a predator would a prey. Her eyes are bright emerald shades of green, her face perfectly sculpted by the goddess herself with a sharp jawline and symmetrical face.She is beautiful.She inChapter 58Katelina's POVA gentle warmth was still tingling on my cheek when my eyes fluttered open.For a disoriented second, I stared up at the pale ceiling tiles of the private clinic room, the soft gray light of dawn just beginning to bleed through the closed blinds. Beside me, little Tobey let out a tiny, snuffling sigh, his small arm slung over my chest like an anchor. He was still fast asleep, his chubby cheek pressed into the soft fleece blanket.I brought a hand up to touch my face, right where the skin felt warm and sensitized.Elias.His name was still sitting on the tip of my tongue, heavy and unbidden. The memory of the dream felt hazy around the edges, but the sensation hadn't faded at all. It had felt so intensely real—the sensation of calloused, trembling fingertips grazing the curve of my cheekbone, tracing the arch of my brow, lingering near my mouth.I sat up slowly, careful not to jostle Tobey.The air in the room felt different. It was cool and sterile as u
Chapter 57Alpha Elias' POVHe doesn’t know anything else, Warrick growled in my mind, disgusted by the sheer uselessness of this rogue. I’m wasting my breath.With a sickening, final snap of my wrist, the rogue’s head slumped sideways. I dropped him into the cold dirt like the trash he was.Letting out a slow breath, I pulled Warrick back and shifted. The brutal, exhilarating thrill of the hunt receded, and with the shift back to two legs, my sight vanished entirely. The violent world of black and crimson shades melted away into the absolute, familiar darkness that had ruled my human life for years.I stood still for a moment, adjusting to the sensory map that took its place: the sharp metallic tang of blood in the wind, the damp smell of crushed pine needles, the rustle of my warriors jogging back through the brush."Alpha," one of them murmured, stopping at a respectful distance."Burn the bodies," I ordered, my voice rough and cold. "Double the patrols along the western line
Chapter 56Alpha Elias’ POVThirty minutes later, five rogues lie whimpering on the ground. The other five, who have realized the danger they face as I tore into the others ruthlessly, quickly tucked tail and ran. Just as I snapped the fifth rogue’s neck, dropping it to the ground, the rest of them turned around.I smirked. What did they expect?I glanced over my shoulder.‘Hunt.’ The command rang out through the pack link. Immediately as I gave the order my warriors jumped into the woods. It is much more exciting when they run. When they finally regret that they crossed me, they will right before I take the light from their eyes.After everyone left, I launched towards the woods myself. I easily caught up with my warriors.The rogues have spread out so I give one to each of my warriors to hunt.I take on the largest one.My warriors and I spread out. It doesn’t take long until I hunt the largest rogue down just before the borderline.Of course, I do not let him cross it and I jumpe
Chapter 55Alpha Elias’ POVIn just about a few minutes, I hear the steady beating of heart beats float around the room.It hasn’t even been a long time, but she managed to put a fussy kid like Tobey. He has always been a handful and hates going to bed early. To my surprise, as soon as his head mestled in her chest, he breathed peacefully and has fallen into a deep sleep.So is the woman who apparently the goddess deemed worthy again as my mate. As much as I don’t trust her judgement, I can’t help but notice her gentle and kind nature.‘Great. Now you realized it. Not about a few hours ago when you almost choked our mate to death.’ Warrick growled at me. I seal my lips and don’t say a word to counter her argument.He is right.I reacted too early, and I blamed her without evidence. It all just came flashing back to me. The betrayal, the lies Thea fed me when she told me she didn’t do it. All I saw was red and I grabbed her throat. Warrick was alert enough to hold me back.‘Looks like
Chapter 54Alpha Elias’ POVNow it seems I have gotten into quite a pickle here. How do I explain something complex to an innocent child like Tobey without making him pass out knowing? There is surely blood and cutting with surgical knives involved, and I don’t know if I can explain that without saying the words ‘blood’ or ‘cut’.What the hell am I going to tell him?“Uh, well, it’s uh. It’s…”I scratched the back of my head and opened my mouth to speak but nothing comes out.“It’s when the doctor gives you special medicine to help heal your tummy and make you feel better.” My mate speaks in my behalf, which definitely does not please me and instead pisses me off that she took my spotlight. Not like I needed her help.On the other hand, Warrick is pleased with her initiative to take matters into her hands.‘And that is what you need a luna for.’ I rolled my eyes and ignored his little comment.That doesn’t mean she is perfect in any way. She is just my stand-in to take the luna pos
Chapter 53Alpha Elias’ POV‘Uh-oh. I think someone is jealous, Alpha. Might need to keep my distance from you for a while.’ Rachel chuckled in the mindlink while I am trying to process what that was all about.Warrick all but purrs in my head. He really thinks our mate is jealous. But for what?‘You’re an idiot, you know that?’ Warrick grumbled.‘Her wolf could scent another female on us. That same female who is now standing right in front of her and she could sense it.’ Warrick so kindly explains and I roll my eyes at him.It was a one time thing. I have to admit, I was attracted to Rachel once, probably because she doesn’t act like any other woman who wants to seduce me just to be luna. She takes her job seriously and cares for the pack, so I thought I could give it a shot.She is single and openly told me she was looking for ‘the one’ and we ended up having one-night stand. Then afterwards she told me she prefers women after all. Apparently, I was subjected to be part of her littl
