Katie’s POVCold air swept across the room. And that led me to take a whiff of what’s in front of me. The Duke had this distinct smell of an ancient western suburb area, if that made any sense. Or if that even exists.But his Duchess..I sharply turned my head toward her. The Duke took notice of it and smirked. “Ah! Right. Wolves have a very very sensitive nose.”‘She’s human?’ I subtly mind-linked Vlad, and he answered with a quick, ‘Yes.’I looked at her, more like stared at her almost lifeless body. Pale and thin. She was almost like a vampire, which is why I didn’t think it was strange when I saw her the first time. The Duke must’ve drenched her with his bloodlust, or maybe because the ballroom was full of vampires that it hid her human scent.She glanced at me and then looked away.. Constantly gulping with her fidgety hands. For a human, it is a feat to even stand up! Why.. How on earth did this happen?“So, Lord Schultz? Can I?” The Duke arrogantly tilted his head.“You know very
(NSFW content)Katie’s POVHe nodded. All while maintaining his strong gaze on me. Vladimyr is now at the edge of the bed. Waiting…Judging my reaction. Then, as if he couldn’t stop himself, he spoke. With a voice so low and gentle but it came across as seductive to me. “But…of course, I would not force you, my little omega. That is why I’m staying in the guest room for tonight.”He turned around and was about to make a step, but I breathed and softly muttered again what I said just awhile ago, “Stay.”Vladimyr slowly craned his neck as his red eyes bore into me once more. “What?”“Stay.” I gulped. “Stay with me tonight, Vlad...”“You do know what that means,” he growled. Danger is evident in his voice. “Right, Katie?”I felt something clench down there as I heard him say those words with a lot of impact. Full of feelings. Desire, lust, passion, adoration, and love. Name it all. Vladimyr conveyed it to me with a few words.My heart beat nonstop with the way his eyes darkened, as they we
Katie's POV"Look at me, Katie," Papa demanded with his dominant tone that he always used with the pack members, but not at me. As I peered up at him, my whole body trembled in fear at his sudden change of attitude. He doesn't look happy. The smile he always had on his face is now gone.A little earlier, we were having fun baking lamb pie together. They even sang praises for how much they loved me so. But now.."Papa.." My mouth tried to form a sentence but failed. The loving and gentle look that he used to grace me has now changed into a cold look on his face. Missing already his old attitude, tears are now welling up. I miss my old papa that much."Don't call me that. You know what happens when the children of an Alpha turn five."Swallowing a lump of saliva in my mouth, I ball up my small fists as my brain forces me to throw a tantrum."Fa--" Papa stopped me before I could even bark."I did not give you permission to call me that, Katie." He spoke angrily."Please stop this already,
Katie's POV"There she goes again, asking Mike to be his omega." I heard some she-wolf purposely raise her voice for me to hear them. "Well, does she have a choice? She will be kicked out of the pack in just a few months if Mike won't still budge." Another she-wolf giggled as the both of them snickered when I went past them.A decade swiftly flew by, and my sixteenth birthday is now coming up. That is why, even though I hate it, I become more desperate to stay. I still want to see Khalid and his mate, Jessica, be the leaders of this pack. I know they would be great, even greater than Alpha Fredrick and Luna Kathrina, my parents.."Duh. Of course he won't pick her! Lexie is a much better fit for an omega than her."And here, I thought they were done talking about me. Not having the energy to escalate things, I just rolled my eyes at them. They just glared back. Although this scenario isn't new. The she-wolves either avoid me or just talk behind my back. The latter is just so pathetic,

I shrieked and tried to yell for help. As expected, no one came. Maybe he's the boss or manager here."I'll tell Alpha Fredrick!" I taunted, and he just scoffed."As if your father would give a damn," he uttered, continuing to drag me away. I try to pull myself back and get away once more, but he just grips me even tighter. He was dead-on-serious about dragging me into the forest. I look ahead, and it is the entrance to the woods. The other woods, not the prohibited forest. With a sense of relief, I breathed a sigh. At least I won't be seeing that tiny, creepy monster again. A flash of memories flooded me. I wanted to indulge them, but then he pulled with so much force. Thus, my face touches his shoulders. I see him smirk. "You are

I hissed and inwardly cussed at myself for stuttering."What else, honey? You cut my six-month's salary!" He quietly screamed, if that made any sense. I was about to scream loudly, but he stopped me. "Scream, and I'll kill your brother!""As if Khalid will be killed by the likes of you!" I scoffed, and he smirked."I meant Jessica. I'll sexually harass her if you dare to yell. It would surely kill Khalid inside from the guilt. As if he wasn't already guilty enough." I glared at him and balled up my fists."Jessica isn't weak." Doing my best to distract him as I slowly paced backwards."Of course she isn't. But when her mate is away on a mission, she'll be consumed with anxiousness. That is her weakest days. Everyone knows they haven't completed the bond. Jessica is yet to be mated," he meaningfully said. I gasped at him as
Katie's POVWe instantly went outside the training grounds and watched as tons of blood were spilled. They look like they are looking for something or someone, but at the same time, the rogues were attacking almost any she-wolf they saw. We saw a lot of rogues today, unlike what we have seen so far. In the past, they only attacked alone, or at least three of them together. But now, it was a bunch of wolves; I estimated that around eight of them were there. I saw Alpha and Luna fighting off together as the other wolves also collectively fought. The rogue wolves that were attacking were as big as a Beta or even an Alpha. All eight of them are incredibly huge. The three of us heard a young girl yell near us when it was about to be attacked, but Khalid jumped out to bite the rogue, and Jessica picked up the girl with her mouth to safety. After doing so, she came back to help Khalid and gnawed its left leg so it would lose the strength in its leg."Katie! Behind you!" I heard Rose warn, but
Khalid's POV"Happy sixteenth birthday, Katie!"The four of us greeted her as she blew out her cake. She hugged me so tight. A gesture I'll never get tired of feeling.Percy and Rose gifted her some daggers and a whip. Katie even managed to joke that maybe she'd work as an executioner for other packs. I clenched my fists. I'll never let her get banished today.Jessica came forward and softly held my sister's wrist. By the time she removed her hand, a crescent moon bracelet had been placed. Katie smiles so sweetly while thanking my mate. Placing a knee down in front of her, all of them gasped except Jessica. Since she already knew about this. The gesture means that I'll sacrifice everything for her.. To surrender my freedom for her safety. I did this when I proposed to Jessica, and this is the last time I'll ever do it again. My sister and mate are the only ones that I want to protect with my life.I locked my gift at her foot. It is a crescent moon anklet. The only difference is that
