The kiss was something from another galaxy. Her lips were sweet and boy did they taste like strawberries. I lift her so that we can hear the announcement that was about to be made. Everyone stood with their champagne glasses in a circle with smiles, as if we were about to welcome someone important. One of the council members took a step forward on the stairs while observing the crowd as if he was looking for someone very important, or he might have been looking for his wife, since he was married to a witch, so they say. I could feel some of the wolves tense up cause none of them liked surprises at all.

 "Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this evening of peace and transformation that we have been building over the years!" he said while everyone applauded him.

"Tonight we celebrate what we have accomplished and also welcome back someone special. Katherine De La Dici, the daughter of Xander, the great! Come up here darling!" I felt how all the wolves growled and huffed with anger, this was no surprise, this was hell itself coming back to life. We all stood there waiting for her to come forward only to feel my mate's hand slip out of mine walking toward the council. This must be a mistake I would have known, I should have known! I saw how she threw a smirk my way with a wink. I knew she knew who I was from the beginning of this evening. I turned around to place my glass on the waitress's tray then headed out the door, followed by all my allies. I was about to turn on the cars ignition  when out of the blue she was standing right in front of me. I got out of the car walking up to her, she did not even blink or move, instead she looked intrigued.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I scowled.

"I came home, after all, I did grow up here and my mother died here, because your family shamefully failed to look after her when she needed it the most!"

"So you are here for what, revenge baby?" I said clutching my hands in fists ready for her to attack , but she just stood there, smiling then looked around us. Everyone  around us was just waiting in anticipation for something to happen.

"I want more than that, but I'd rather keep it a secret as you know people have a weird way of acting out, after all, we were once allies!" she said, taking a step closer and with a soft sweet voice she whispered into my ear: "Or should I say, mate?"

 With her vampire speed, she was out of sight and by the look of things everyone had heard what she said. Shit! I stared them down then got into my car and left. As I arrived at the packs house I felt how my body was tensed by the rage still flowing through my veins. I could not grasp what had just happened. I walked straight to the bar throwing myself a double whiskey.

My mind seemed to wander off to the episode that took place earlier this evening. How could it possibly be that she is alive and my mate? I threw myself another drink. She is nothing like her mother, oh no! She had long black hair with skin that looked like it was kissed by the sun. No vampire could ever have tanned skin like hers, that is why I missed it. Her body was shaped like an hourglass and she looked fearless. I remembered how she mentioned the fact that she was back for revenge, but I don't think it was for me. She had me in the palms of her hands, yet she chose to do nothing. My father always use to tell me when I was a kid that they were powerful and had a lot of influence over rogues. But as time flew by the rogues turned on them, on their queen and king. The war started when their daughter was born as they were feared more than before. The blood of an original is way stronger than a rogue with a wolf combined. We were allies with them as we felt that as supernatural royals we needed an alliance that would help us in a time of conflict. Her mother died that day at the hands of a rogue, but they blamed it on us. The rogues won that war and ever since then, they came out of hiding trying to take over the royal's positions. I can recall the last time that I saw her was when she was still a small little girl. Her hair was black and she had the most amazing laugh with the prettiest face, so angelic. She remembered me but I had no idea who the hell she was. A knock came from the door followed by a mind link from my beta, Evan, asking if he could come in. He entered the room and started to pour himself a drink as well.

"So the vampire is our luna, Nick. Any ideas on what she is planning?" Evan asked

"Trust me if I knew I would have told you, but for whatever reason she came back for I doubt things will be anything but fair play. Not one fucking thing!"

"I guess not all is fair in love and war, Nick, so please enlightened me, how are we going to find out what this plan of our future luna is exactly?"

"We wait, my friend!”

"Wait for what exactly alpha?"

"The signal!" I said to Evan flashing him a devilish smirk. I trusted him more than anyone, he’s always been a true friend, and just so happens to be my beta too. He was first in command in my army and had my back every single time. We both sat there with no words to describe the feeling we had inside of us.

Katherine P.o.v

As I arrived home I felt the urge to kill a rogue once again. I knew what had happened years ago regarding my mother's death, I have just been trying to fight against all of it. My father told me his side once when I was old enough to understand, altough I knew that it was not the case at all. My parents were smart with the way they ruled. They just made one small mistake which cost them everything. All because they trusted the wrong people. I sat down on my bed gazing out onto the dark, eary lanscape. My life was dull and lonely since I was always all on my own. I took a deep breath and remembered Nick Storm, the kid I grew up with. Tonight I saw him again! After all the years, never in my life did I imagine him being this sexy and possessive. The way he held me with such firm, tight grip he made me feel safe from the world along with my problems. He looked very handsome wearing that tux and not to mention the way he smiled just made me absolutely crazy. He had me right in his hands ever since he first walked through those doors this evening. His blue eyes, that dark hair and his deep,scruffy voice would be the death of me. I wondered how he looked underneath that damn tux as I could feel the hard muscles that made up his whole figure. The way he said, “baby” made me want to kiss him just so I could taste what he taste like. He turned out to be a powerful man even for an original wolf he made a name for himself. I stood up and decided to go out for a run to help distract myself from all the thoughts about him running through my mind, which made me start second-guess my plan. I stopped in the woods as soon as I felt a warming sensation in my heart, this feeling can only mean one thing and one thing only.

"Could not sleep?" I heard a familiar, possessive voice say from behind me.

"I had business to attend to, sorry if I took a shortcut!"

"Why are you here, Katherine?" He said.

"I have unfinished business that I would like to take care of before the next full moon!"

"Why before the next full moon?" I turned around facing him with a smile then took a seat by the branch. He kept his eyes on me the whole time not letting me out of his sight.

"Do you know what happens once the full moon hits, for originals like us?" I scowled.

"We change to monsters without even realizing it, now cut the crap, what do you want?"

"I'll stay out of your way, but you need to do the same with your little puppies. Got it mate!"

"Is that a threat Katherine?" I saw him walking up to me with rage seeping through those beautiful blue eyes. He looked even more attractive than before, man I knew how to pick them out. I always had to pick the bad guys, I should have known.

"Once the full moon arrives and I am near you, you will have a choice to make Nick. I'll save you that pain and walk away before that time. So would you please keep your puppies in line?"

"Please! What pain would that be? Because you showing up here will cause pain for many people and I'm sorry to say this, but if you try or even think about hurting my pack or my allies, I will kill you! Do I make myself clear?" he said while pushing me up against the tree. His warm breath burned my skin while my lungs felt trapped. I know I'm dead but this man is making me feel alive, very strongly alive. "Crystal clear Nick.." I utter the words out before I pushed him away. We stared into each others eyes for about a minute when I had the guts to say what I wanted then left as soon as possible.

"You will reject me on the night of the full moon, as we will be in the same town, now, be nice and I will spare you all of that bullshit. I'll leave before the full moon, only if I have finished my business. I hope that is clear enough, I do not want the big, bad alpha to fall!"

    Chapter 3 I got home after I ran into my mate a few hours ago. I thought that the run would have helped, yet it only made me think of her more. Why was she back? Would she reject me? Why was I even thinking of having her as a mate after everything that happened years ago? As I walked into my study Evan was right behind me with a smirk on his face."Went on a run?""Yes, what the fuck do you want Evan?" I barked at him seeing how his facial expression changed that is when I knew that she just got my attention. He threw his hands up in surrender and then mumbled an apology."I ran into her!" I said."Our Luna, no wonder why you looked pissed!""Don't get me started, listen double the guards, and get the men on alert for rogues!""Why? Did she mention something?""She did not say a bloody word, but she is back for good and I want to know why!" I said as I gulped down my whiskey. He agreed, but then he had to remind me of my schedule for the day again. After he spoke I told him to meet m

Sooner or later they will start to talk and that is when I will be ready patiently waiting. As I parked my car I headed inside to get a drink. I needed it right now. I was about to sit on my ass when James walked through the door. James was a noble friend who I met on my journey as a rogue. He is a lycan and very strong of his kind. Ever since we met we stayed together through hell or high water. "Long morning?" he asked as his hand crossed over his chest. I just gave him a faint smile with a simple answer:" Nothing that I cannot handle!" He took a seat and pulled me close so that my ass fell on his leg. So there might be one thing that I did not mention and that was that we were more than just friends. When my father told me about our curse or mine that's when I decided to go against all rules."Why are we back here Katherine?

    At this point, I needed to know what her end game was, but at the same time, I wanted to protect her with everything in me. This mate bond was going to be a problem at a certain point! I took a step closer with my hands in my pocket looking at the man who dares to challenge me."Talk, I will give you five minutes before I rip you into thousands of pieces!" I said with a low growl making him aware of my power."I can't go back out there, they will haunt me and kill me! I need protection!""Well, let's see how interesting your story is before I offer protection!" I said seeing how his eyes darted from me to Evan who looked pissed. I asked Evan to leave with the nurse so that I can have a conversation with our new friend here. After they left I took a seat showing him my watch."My time is limited and so is my patience!""So is Katherine's, after her father's death she turned into this monster! Do you know how we caught her trace?""Blood banks?" I asked and to my surprise he laughed at

    A few years, not long ago, there was a fight between two royal parties. The Blood Moon packs, which were wolves and the vampires from the East. Their alliance ended abruptly once the vampire queen was brutally murdered in her castle while they were at war with the witches. The two alliances split up once the war ended after several years. Unfortunately not for the heirs of the thrones as they always seemed to hate each other even in the presence of the council. Katherine De La Dici was the daughter of Xander and Diana De La Dici, the very first of the vampires that there were before the copycats came to be. The Blood Moon Pack was led by Henry and Alison Storm, the first wolves to roam the earth and give birth to a very powerful boy, the Alpha. It was a rainy day when Nick Storm received an invite to the council ball. Every year they’d invite the royals to a ball to maintain peace or atleast that was the plan. Although not everyone who went felt the urge to kiss and make up. Nick hat
