Gunner“Get home safely Katerina. Promise me?”“Uh…I promise.”I can’t help but brush my fingers along her cheek before kissing the top of her head. Apollo is howling, begging me to stay by her side. “I’ll see you again. I promise.”With that I dart into the forest and hide among the bushes until I see her leave with her friend. Apollo is frustrated that we could not take her home with us. He has connected with her wolf and has confirmed Katerina is our mate, but her wolf can’t tell Katerina that. Something about being bound by the moon goddess and needing to learn it for herself. I am beyond irritated that I can’t tell her, but at the same time if she doesn’t recognize the mate bond then she may not believe me and being that I am a lycan, the Alpha lycan at that, I am sure she wouldn’t believe me. A part of me wants to go check on her as I can feel her sadness. Another part of me wants to hunt down this James wolf and kill him. He seems to have targeted what is mine and I can’t all

Gunner “Well it would appear that Katerina’s mother, Ahsoka, is the first nephilim to appear in centuries and Katerina is the first tribrid in history to be born. The nephilim are typically hunted for their powers and according to history were used as slaves, especially the ones that had healing abilities.”“What kind of healing abilities?”“From what I found, many nephilim died healing their masters from the brink of death. They take on that injury and sometimes they couldn’t heal themselves.”“Do we know if Katerina has this ability?”“No, I know nothing of what powers she has. I was only able to find the history of the nephilim and learn about her mother’s history.”“What’s got you so pissed,” I reply.Hunter’s tone indicated what he found he did not like and I can tell when he wants to go kill someone for hurting a s

Gunner“You think this prophecy has to do with me and Katerina don’t you?”“Yes I do.”So that is why she is willing to help me. She wants this prophecy completed, but it would seem that the wolves don’t. “Why do you want this prophecy completed? Obviously the wolves do not.”“The wolves took the prophecy as a threat. They believe this mating will be the end of everyone. I think otherwise. I believe you two will finally be the ones to take out the dark coven.”“No pressure.”Adelaide smiles and leaves me to my thoughts. I can’t believe what I have just learned. Hunter was right then, Katerina is powerful. More powerful than we can imagine. Probably stronger than me. I realize that if what Adelaide says is true then I need to protect her at all costs. It i

Gunner“I believe the lady said to let her go,” I growl out.After sensing something was wrong with Katerina, Hunter and I immediately headed this way. It took everything in me to restrain Apollo so as to not scare Katerina more than she is. I want to kill this stupid wolf who thinks he can take what is mine.“Katerina, are you okay?”“This bracelet has wolfsbane. I can’t mind link my pack.”A growl escapes me and I see a flicker of fear in James’ eyes. He roughly goes to grab Katerina but in the process of his goons releasing her to him, Katerina gives James a good roundhouse kick to the face. James drops to the ground and she races to my side. I can hear Hunter stifle a laugh. This makes Apollo beam with pride and joy that she prefers our company to his. The moment she reaches me, she doesn’t stop and embraces me. Apollo’s anger increases as he can feel her shaking though she quickly rel

Gunner I was very disappointed to have to send Hunter to meet with Katerina instead of myself. I didn’t expect to find rogues so close to home and I knew I couldn’t leave without taking care of the problem first. We finally have the rogues retreating and my warriors are cleaning up the dead bodies. I look at my watch and didn’t realize it was already nine. “Joy have you seen Hunter,” I ask our pack doctor as she tends to the wounded.“No I haven’t Alpha.”“Everything alright darling,” asks my mother.“I’m not sure, Hunter hasn’t returned.”“I’ll keep things in order here honey. Go find him.”“Okay mom,” I reply as I kiss her cheek and head towards Winter’s Moon. I follow his scent all the way to the
