A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE ARREST
BLUE MOON PACK STATION
Katherina arrived at the pack's station right after she had received a call from Jason about a recent murder case and as she arrived, she met Jason and a few other teammates roaming about the office while working in haste.
She hurried to where Jason was and asked about the call they made earlier.
"Where's the corpse?" She asked as she got closer to Jason who was busy talking to another detective.
"You're here! It's in the Pack's Morgue but our men are still at the site of the murder. Wanna check it out?" He asked, gesturing the detective to excuse him.
"Yes. Let's go to the morgue first then we'll check the murder site afterward." She suggested and Jason gave the file he was working on to the detective he was talking to.
They hopped into her Red Sedan and together they drove towards the morgue.
"Don't you think this is odd? I mean it's been 10 good years since this kind of murder occurred and even if it's the same person, then the exact day of the murder should have been later tonight since it will be the full moon, do you think it is a copycat?" Katherine asked curiously.
"Well, you have a point, I've also been thinking about that, but you will have to investigate the scene and also check the corpse to be sure of an answer because I definitely can't do that." He replied, his voice portraying the disgust he felt just thinking about the corpse.
"Fuck! When will you become a real detective?" She wondered but Jason didn't seem like he will be ready anytime soon.
"By the way, Kat, you were very late to work today, Is Gavin here?" He asked, staring awkwardly at her.
Katherine sighed heavily, "He is a pack ruler, Jason! You don't expect him to be coming all the way here every single day. And by the way, I don't come late to work even when he is here." She replied. "It's not like I'm a habitual latecomer." She mumbled, rolling her eyes at him.
"Those that mean you cheated?" He asked, staring at her in awe.
"W-what? What has come over?" She lashed out, getting angry, and only ended up getting herself caught since she is such a bad liar.
"That means I'm right. Fuck! Ladies are no different. Long-distance relationships are always not so trustworthy. I thought you'd be different. No wonder you're still wearing the same clothes and mother didn't also know your way about when I called her." He complained, annoying her.
"Look Jason, it was just a one-night stand, nothing more." She explained.
"Oh, Really?" He asked again and Kat nodded in affirmation. "Well...I don't believe you!" He exclaimed.
"I mean you of all people wouldn't just agree to a one night with a stranger if you have not been seeing him before then." He added.
"Fuck! Jason, I was drunk. By the way, that hunk was just a gigolo. I even paid for the room. Look!" She explained showing him the receipt she had received from the receptionist and the hotel where she spent the night.
Katherine couldn't help but think about last night. If she was being honest, it was the best night in her sexual life and even though she ended up paying the bill for the hotel room, she'd agree that it was nothing compared to the pleasure she received from him.
"Oh, a hunk! He must have really attracted you so much. And I can see he satisfied you far too well." Jason joked and just then, Kat's phone which she had fixed on a windshield mount started ringing and it was Gavin on a video call.
She heaved a sigh of distress as she thought of what lie to tell him for not answering his calls throughout last night.
Just as she stretched her arm to answer the call, Jason held it firmly, preventing her from reaching her phone. "What now?" She wondered.
"I care so much about you." He mumbled as he opened the glove compartment in front of him and brought out a scarf.
He wrapped it around her neck while gesturing her to concentrate on her driving.
"This is summer, Jason. Why should I wear a scarf in this heat period?" She asked curiously, thinking it was one of his funny moments again until he pointed out a small pinkish bruise on my arm, then she realized he really cares about her.
"Tsk...that hunk might be just a gigolo but he really did a good one on you. From the love bites on your body, I can tell he passionately made love to you and not just some sex as you say it is." He said, sounding serious this time.
"Others might not notice it clearly but Gavin will and then you both might start having problems which I wouldn't want." He added, smiling brightly at her.
She sighed distressfully before finally answering the call.
"Hey, Gavin!" She waved at him.
"Hey, you're driving?" Gavin asked as he noticed Katherine's attention was not with him.
"Yes, I'm in the middle of an important investigation." She replied, trying her possible best to put on a perfect fake smile.
"You didn't answer any of my calls last night and neither did you return them so I thought I should call you again today." He complained and the reaction on Kat's face changed making her also forget whatever lie she had thought of.
"Hey, Gavin! There was a murder case last night and her phone was with me all through. I was just about to tell her you called." Jason lied effortlessly.
"Oh, no problem. Just take care and call me once you're less busy." He concluded and ended the call.
They were already in front of the Pack's morgue before the call with Gavin ended.
They stepped out of the car and for a while Kat stared at Jason in awe.
"Thank you so much, Jason." She thanked him while Jason just blushed away.
"I think you really deserve an award." She added.
"For the best friend ever?" He asked.
"No. For the best liar ever." She joked and they both chuckled as they went into the morgue.
Katherine asked the morgue Dieners where the corpse was and one of them showed them to where the victim's body which was a young lady was kept.
Her arm was chopped off, her tongue ripped out and her private part bruised as she laid lifelessly on the surgical table, her body dissected during the examination.
"Who is the pathologist in charge?" Kat asked the Diener who had shown them the corpse.
"Dr. Mia Campbell. I will show you to her office." He said and together they walked through the office area until they got to Mrs. Campbell's office.
The Diener left them alone with the pathologist while she offered them a seat in her office.
"Are you here for Court Lady Ella James?" Dr. Campbell asked as she brewed some coffee for them.
"Yes. We are the detectives in charge. Brief us on the result of her autopsy." Jason replied to Kat's unpleasant surprise.
"What? She's a court lady?" Kat asked, both curiously and furiously.
"Yes! Let's hear the results first before you flare." Jason whispered and she couldn't help but agree with him.
Dr. Campbell offered them coffee before she turned her laptop towards them, showing them every detail of the result that she is about to explain.
"From the test conducted, It was deduced that her arms were chopped off first, then her tongue was also chopped off. While watching her inability to wail out in pain because of her chopped tongue, the murderer raped and afterward, choked her to death." She explained her every word giving Kat the creeps.
'How can someone be so heartless and inhumane?' She thought to herself then she noticed some white substance on the image of the corpse's throat through the pictures displayed and she decided to ask Dr. Campbell about it.
"What are those white substances on her through?" Kat asked curiously.
"Those are sperm. Literally, she was choked to death with a dick." She announced and Jason almost threw up at the thought of that dirty and inhumane treatment while Katherine just gasped and inhaled sharply.
"She's also from the Royal Packhouse. There is nothing that will stop me from arresting the Lycan King today!" Kat mumbled to herself, fuming with rage.
Jason was still feeling nauseous when Katherine stood up and left the office after thanking the pathologist but he rushed over to her just before she entered the car."I know you're angry...but we still need to go...to the Murder Scene," Jason said, pausing from time to time to puke."You have a point but, you gotta stop this rubbish or you get the fuck out of my sight." She lashed at him before he was finally able to control himself a bit."I wonder how you became my assistant." She mumbled as she drove off to the crime scene.It took them over an hour to get to the scene and just as Jason had rightfully said, some of their men were still surveying the place.Katherine expected the crime scene to be probably an abandoned house or room since a rape case was included but to her surprise, it was on a lonely, bushy pathway."You mean she was raped here?" She wondered as she went through the pictures of the scene that were taken before her body was moved away from there and Jason nodded i
AFTER THE ARRESTThe Lycan King, Harris Wolf watched as Katherine stomped off to her car and opened the back seat door for him but he was more interested in pissing her off. "I was thinking we could use my car, it would be more spacious and it would award us some privacy since we got a company." He joked, grinning from ear to ear. "This car is spacious enough for us, so just get the f
Harris slid his right hand behind her head and pushed her face closer to his, his average lips finally having a sober taste of her lush, full lips. He bit her lower lips gently making sure to cause no pain and the sweet pleasurable moan that escaped her lips confirmed a job well done. He moved his lips away from hers, leaving her hungry for them then he turned his head sideways, allowing her lips to caress his cheeks then he moved his lips around her ear, gently teasing her ear lobe. Her Natural Tan skin smelled like a combination of amber and vanilla blossom and he couldn't hold back the urge of wanting to join their soul together. "Is this what we should be doing right after we found each other?" He whispered in her ear and he felt goosebumps rise on her bare skin. She couldn't give a reply as she was too engrossed in his arousing touch until someone decided to ruin the mood. "Lieutenant Reynolds!" Jason called out while standing outside the gate, his hand resting on his torso
Katherine's heart started racing rapidly as if it were about to fall off with Harris so close to her and his hands touching her cheek. She was already wet from just hearing him talk about their night together and him being so close worsened things. It was almost impossible to control herself but the murmurs from the Major and others who were watching them helped her a lot. Though her hands were weak, she managed to push him away from her with all the power remaining in her but it was not of much help because this hunky guy was quite strong and sturdy to be moved by her light push. She didn't know how to react to the embarrassment she was facing at that moment and the only thing that came to mind was running away from the room. She hurried off to her office and sat on her chair still panting heavily with mixed emotions. For goodness sake, that man is driving her nuts and her inner self just wanted to have her legs wrapped around him. She craved every bit of his touch and this w
Kat entered the interrogation room where she met Harris patiently waiting for her. It was very embarrassing to stare into his eyes after what they had just done consciously but as she has said earlier, she can't let all the people that put their trust in her down. "The interrogation of the first suspect on the Full Moon serial murder case will continue now." She announced, taking a quick glance at one of the CCTVs once again. "You may proceed." The Major replied from the Camera room. "Mate, your eyes are puffy, did someone hurt you?" He asked, staring at her with so much concern that if a clueless person was there they would think his questions were truly sincere and out of concern but Kat was not a fool to fall for his pretense. "This is an interrogation room, Mr. Wolf, not your palace! You have no right to worry about me here." She lashed out angrily as she finally started getting a hold of herself. She had a quick flashback of her conversation with the major and she remember
"If you already made up your mind about going to your mate then looking at these gruesome murders shouldn't be such a big deal for you!" Major Daniels lashed out at Kat who was standing in rage. She breathed heavily for a while before she finally spoke up, "I hate this too! I didn't want things to turn out this way! I want to bring the murderer to justice and have him pay dearly for what he did to my father and the other victims of this case, but the moon goddess made him my mate and..." "Are you going to give up now just because the moon goddess is also on his side? Are you going to let your father and the other victims down just because he is your fated mate?" He nagged further. "No! I love Gavin a lot and I want to become his wife in the future. He hasn't found his mate yet and I know he wants me too. I never want to have anything to do with that asshole. All what happened between us was just the heat of the moment and I'm ready to put it behind me. I will definitely get justic
The Colonel stood up from his seat and walked over to where Katherine was standing, leaving out no gap between them. "You will write an official apology letter to the King and submit it to him personally because from now on, you will be reporting your duty to him directly." He whispered to her ears, leaving Katherine shocked and dumbfounded. He turned around and walked back to his seat. "As of today, you're officially off this case. Lieutenant Scott will continue with it." He added. "No! That's not happening! There is no way I'm going to stay out of this case. I joined the police force for this case. You can't take it away just like that." Kat bellowed furiously, rebelling against the Colonel. "Since I took this case from you, you might as well leave the force, after all, you will soon become either a Luna or a Rogue!" Colonel Mark threatened, and a rush of fear washed over her. Even though she was scared, she was not ready to let the fear overcome her. Not after the promises s
Riley's skin tone was warm sand with long wavy reddish-blonde hair which she always arranged in a braided waterfall and protruding amethyst eyes. "For what? Why do they want to see me now?" Harris asked angrily. "You had to sleep at the station last night and you also weren't able to make it back early in the morning so they decided to have lunch with you. They won't take no for an answer! Just get ready and come downstairs, we are waiting for you." Riley explained and without waiting for another word, she left the room, her long purple princess gown sweeping the floor behind her.Harris didn't want to go but like Riley said, he had no other choice than to freshen up and put on a casual dress of metro blue shorts, a white T-shirt, and white Espadrilles before heading downstairs to the dining room. While Luna Rosette and Alpha Ruiz were waiting for both Harris and Riley, Luna Rosette couldn't help but bring up the issue of the recent murder. "Ruiz, I couldn't sleep well last night
