(Elijah's POV)"It's getting dark. What's taking them so long to get back? Are you sure all is fine over there?"I asked no one in particular. "Maybe we should go check out what's going on then." Cliff suggested."It was Alpha's order that he accompanies her alone." Joel said. "But at this point, it's getting kind of suspicious, but the confusing thing is that there's no alarm yet, no loud noise of fighting or battle, which should mean that they were still having a peaceful conversation." Rebekah added. Shrugging.And that was right. If there had been any sort of noise coming from afar, I would have been the first to go check out what was going on. I needed her to be safe. I care about her so much, even though she hates me more than anything now. I still want her. It's her I love and Tamara was just for pleasure. I didn't like her character, even though she's my true mate. Unfortunately for me."I'm also Alpha and I'm not under his command. I can go and check out what's happening o
(Cliff's POV)"What's taking them so long? What's going on? They should have returned with the visitors by now, if there's no problem." I started asking questions, curiously."Maybe they have just engaged in a long conversation. They should arrive soon. I'm sure there's no problem. If there is, the entire pack will be notified through the alarms." Joel said, confidently.Elijah was the most impatient one among us, earnestly looking out the window to see if they were on their way back. He was already getting ready to go meet them up and find out if everything was alright. Didn't know why he still cared about Katerina anyway. "I'm sure they will be back soon. Maybe the visitors are in a hurry and have decided to deliver any message they had for her, right there at the pack's gate. If there's any trouble, we would get informed of course. So let's remain calm and wait a little more. They should be on their way back anytime from now." Rebekah said. We nodded in agreement as we contin
On getting to the huge gates of the pack, I started noticing a kind of smell. It was confusing. I couldn't tell if Kol smelt it too. It seemed like there were rogues and in the next instant, the smell was hard to predict, confusing my wolf senses. "Do you smell something?" Kol asked as the chief security guard was about opening the smaller part of the last gate that led to outside of the pack. There were two huge gates and the first one was designed to send an alarm across the entire pack, in case of a suspected attack from rogues once rogues were spotted."Yes. Kind of confusing. Could they be rogues?" "Rogues are meant to attack us, to be violent. But the guard said there were only three of them. Let's watch and see, but don't get too close to them."As the gate was opened, there were indeed three gentle looking men, dressed in black suits, that stood facing us. But they weren't familiar at all. 'Do you know any of these men from anywhere?' Kol mind-linked to me without saying
(Katerina's POV)A knock at the front door startled us, as I stood up from Kol's lap. This feeling. This was just me being close to my mate again, because of the new connection and pull I felt towards him, having felt Elijah's bond and connection fade away.Deep down in my heart, I'm still hurt, still very angry with him and would never truly accept him back because the last time I tried, he gave me more reasons not to trust him, just like Elijah did too.I was starting to believe I wasn't meant to be loved genuinely, but at the end of the day, he's still a bit better than Elijah. I would say Elijah hurt me the most because all he ever said to me were lies, after making me fall deeply in love with him.Kol didn't lie to me when he told me he didn't want me. When he rejected me. He meant it. No deceit, no pretence, no lies. But Elijah...Elijah broke my heart in the cruelest of ways. And even then, instead of truly being sorry at the very least, he still keeps fucking Tamara, kissing h
(Unknown POV)"We are here, open the gates immediately!" "Yes sir." We arrived earlier than we expected. Although we didn't plan to arrive at night in the first place. We needed to search for the girl before nightfall. We had a plan and if they cooperated, no one would get hurt. My army of rogues were behind, hidden in the bushes surrounding the pack's gates. They only need to hear my whistle and they will rush in and attack, at my command. "Sir, if the Alpha finds out about this, I will be doomed. I'm the chief security guard of this pack and there are two Alphas now. I don't know how I'm going to explain how you got in." "How much do you earn? I am paying you an amount that can't be compared to whatever both Alphas are paying you to secure the pack, yet you are blabbering like a weakling. What kind of a shifter are you? You sound too timid and weak." "It's not about being weak or afraid sir. The Alpha trusts me a lot and by doing this, I'm betraying his trust. I might get kil
I guess I couldn't be mad at Stark for lying to me. His parents always pegged me for the type to be judgemental, if their son turned out being gay. They never really liked the whole idea of man on man, or boy on boy, because well... I didn't know to be honest. I would have never guessed though, Stark being gay. It was honestly a bit startling.Maybe that's why Ace was so confused at first. His best friend suddenly turned out being gay. Same with Joel, Cliff... with all the fishy things he's gotten in his lifetime.I can imagine why Joel was shocked to say the least. I blinked, only to realize Renee was snapping her fingers in front of my face."Earth to Kat, you there?"She laughed nervously and I shook my head, smiling up at her."Sorry, I've been..I'm fine."I told her and then faced everyone else in the room."Well, I kinda interrupted your movie before, so how about we go watch another one?"I asked them, a grin ear to ear.Muttering okays and all, we went out of the room and back
I growled and went to push past them. One tiny girl like me against three angry protector giants like them.I was bounced back just as quickly."Where are you going?" Joel raised his eyebrow."To get rid of Elijah's 'dicksicle', and apologise." I told them.And it was honestly the truth, I was going to apologise to him, and try and ... melt the ice away. They all seemed sceptical though, so I sighed and offered for them to come with me. That cleared everything up, and before I knew it, we were standing in front of Elijah's door, waiting for me to man up and knock.I looked back at my friends and they pretty much looked like they could barley contain their laughter. That only made me feel twice as bad and I shook my head and knocked three times on the door."Coming!"A squeaky voice shouted, and I frowned, stepping back, getting ready to bolt if anything seemed violent. When Tamara answered the door, I was more than willing to do just that if I had too. But instead of running, I cleare
Cliff's (P.O.V) (RECAP...) "So, am I.. gay then?" I asked, a little breathless."Do you feel gay?"Stark asked me. I shrugged."I know that I love you. And I definitely love what just happened."I nervously laughed and he smiled at me."Well sorry, I'm just not into you, I'm straight."He said, in a high pitched girly voice. I laughed and shook my head, punching his shoulder again."Just shut up and kiss me, jerk." I told him, and met his lips half way, only to be interrupted by a knock at the door._______________________________ Cliff's (P.O.V) I pulled the sides of my pants up, since they were dangerously low. But nothing was going to hide the evidence of my arousal on his T-shirt. I looked at him with wide eyes. He put his finger to his lips and slipped into the shower behind the curtain just as the door opened, revealing Rebekah and Joel."H-Hey guys, what's up?" I asked, still trying to catch my nervous breath.They looked at each other and then at me."You feeling okay?" Bek
Katerina's (P.O.V)(RECAP....)When I reached the woods, I ran, further, farther, shifting mid air, then much further and much farther. Feeling the wind through my fur was angelic and I pushed myself up the cliffs and mountains around the pack house, right to the top. Staring over my surroundings, it was all... beautiful. Actually really beautiful. I never thought I could feel, or see beautiful things again."Katerina, what have you done my little girl?"A voice whispered from beside me. Turning my head, I gasped at who was in front of me. Or.. the ones who were in front of me.____________"This is impossible." I breathed."Nothing is impossible, sweetie." My mother cooed.I didn't breathe this time. I couldn't breathe right now. All I could do was stare at my dead parents. Bradley and Jennifer Bathas. The dead parents that were in front of me and indeed not looking so dead. I couldn't speak, or blink. Nothing."What have you done?"My father asked. But his voice wasn't rough or hars
