Katie’s POV

“Stop calling me that!” I hissed. Thalion merely chuckled and eyes wide in amusement. Clearly having fun with riling me up. Which in turn, frustrates the hell out of me.

My thoughts raced as I glared at Thalion, trying to keep calm despite the fear twisting inside me. Every word he spoke dripped with calculated malice, designed to unnerve me, to plant seeds of doubt and dread. I clenched my fists, focusing on the here and now, even as questions clawed at my mind. What secrets was he talking about? What unfinished business did he have with Lucifer? I hope I will live long as to know and hear the reason from Vlad and Luci themselves.

As Thalion took a step closer, I felt the cold emanating from him, a chill that seeped into my very bones. “You are brave. I will give you that, you mutt.” he mused, tilting his head slightly as if examining a curious specimen. As if I were just an entertainment to him. “I see why Vladimyr.. Lucifer, is so taken with you. But bravery has its li

  • Unwanted Omega   102 - They Know?

    Katie’s POVI stood frozen at the tent’s entrance, my fingers still gripping the flap. The camp outside was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that didn’t belong to a place like this.No footsteps. No wind. No chatter.And there was no one.But I know what I heard—or rather, what Vladimyr heard.Someone had whispered my name, not aloud, but in that strange, slithering way some spells and curses carried sound. Thin and invasive, like smoke curling into your ear.Behind me, Vladimyr stepped up beside me silently, his gaze sweeping the empty space outside and then he sent me a telepathy. ‘They’re trying to see if we’ll react. Trying to confirm who you are.’I nodded tightly and lowered the flap. ‘We gave them nothing.’Yet, the knot in my stomach twisted tighter. If they were already testing us this early, then our disguises were only barely holding. And it meant they were suspicious of me first.The wolf.The “exiled scout.”Fenrir growled low, curling tighter into his bedroll at the c

  • Unwanted Omega   101 - Ashes Beneath The Flagstones

    Katie's POVWe arrived at dusk.The outer camp of the Duke didn’t look like a battlefield, not at first. From a distance, it resembled a marketplace—or at least, a crude version of one. Canvas tents flapped in the wind. Fires crackled low in sunken pits. There were wagons, traders, mercenaries, and creatures I couldn’t even name moving about like ants in a nest. All ordinary enough, until you looked closer.Until you saw how still the guards stood, like puppets waiting for strings to pull.Until you noticed the scent in the air—not just smoke, but blood, old and soaked deep into the soil like the land itself remembered every scream.My mate dismounted first. His face was still, unreadable. Fenrir padded ahead, tail low, hackles twitching. Disguised as an ordinary pet. The twins stood on either side of me, unusually quiet for once.We were in enemy territory. That means everyone is serious now and we cannot afford to make one single mistake. Not even one.“Stick to the plan,” Vladimyr

  • Unwanted Omega   100 - Almost Ready

    Katie’s POVOn the Road — Hours Before the main InfiltrationThere is a very specific kind of silence that exists in a carriage filled with smug little vampires. The ones I love, that's for sure, but still.. smug ones.It wasn't the uncomfortable kind, or even the anticipatory one that often followed strategy meetings. No. This was the smug silence of two siblings who knew they had won against their older brother who’s the Lord of the North. They seemed so proud about it too. I mean, as they should though, because if it was me, I would brag about it for the rest of the year. If it weren't for the tension and danger that we are about to face, I am pretty sure we already talked about this ages ago.But of course, said risk isn't enough to stop us from mentioning it, especially the twins.Tori lounged by the window with her chin resting in her palm, letting the morning breeze flutter her curls like some self-satisfied heroine in a gothic novel. Rori had kicked his feet up on the opposite

  • Unwanted Omega   99 - Too Late To Turn Back

    Katie's POV The Next Morning — Infiltration DayWe didn’t even make it past the second stair.I was tightening the straps of my small lootbag when a scream—loud, unrelenting, and filled with all the righteous fury only one specific girl could muster—pierced through the hallway.“I knew it!”The voice came from below the stairs, followed by rapid footsteps and a very disgruntled Sebastian yelling, “Young mistress, wait—!”I froze. Vladimyr, standing behind me, muttered a low, resigned, “Oh dear.”And then she came into view, wild curls tangled from sleep, eyes blazing, her little fists clenched at her sides. Behind her was of course, her twin brother, calmer but no less determined, arms crossed and face taut with that telltale stubbornness that he definitely inherited from their older brother.“You were going to leave us behind.. again!” Victoria accused, pointing a finger at me like I’d betrayed the entire realm.“I was going to leave you safe,” I corrected, trying to sound authorita

  • Unwanted Omega   98 - Holding Our Breath

    Katie's POVMorning came too quickly.A low knock at the chamber door stirred me from the few hours of rest I’d managed. Vladimyr was still asleep beside me—if his deep, even breaths could be called sleep. His brow was furrowed, as if his mind couldn’t rest even in dreams.I carefully slipped from beneath the covers, pulling on a robe and tying it tight at the waist as I opened the door.Miranda stood there, her hands folded neatly, but the tight set of her jaw betrayed her calm demeanor.“Report,” I said softly, stepping into the hallway and closing the door behind me.“We’ve finished securing the inner sanctum,” she said, falling in step beside me as we walked down the corridor. “The twins are under protective watch. They know something is happening, but we haven’t told them the full extent.”“They’ll figure it out,” I murmured.“They already are,” she admitted. “The young mistress tried to break through the barriers last night. Said she dreamed you were in danger.”Of course she di

  • Unwanted Omega   97 - Before The Storm

    Katie's POVI stared up at him. At the way his jaw tightened with each breath, the raw intensity in his gaze that bordered on something wild. And yet, beneath all that fury, I saw it—his helplessness.He hated feeling powerless. Hated not remembering. Hated that someone else had the upper hand when it came to me. Even without his memories of us, I can still feel his genuine concern towards me through the bond.But I couldn’t let him fall into rage. Not when it would cost us more than it helped.So I reached up, cupping his cheek gently. “Then we get ready,” I whispered. “We prepare together. Smartly. Not like this—driven by anger. That’s what he wants. He wants to provoke you, Vlad..”My mate stared at me like he was searching for something in my face. Maybe a lie. Maybe hesitation. But he’d find neither.“I already lost you once,” he murmured, voice so low I barely caught it. “And even now, I only have pieces of what we were. If I lose you again, Katie…”“You won’t,” I said firmly. “
