Katherine's POVKai was taking too long to get back and everything I did to calm myself down was not helping. Even though I buried myself in work and made sure that I worked till I could barely feel my bones, nothing stopped my thoughts from always wandering to Kai all the time. There was not a single moment that passed by without me thinking of how amazing Kai and I would be when we finally got back together."You have a smile on your face, a penny for your thoughts?" I heard Dr. Dexter's voice from behind me.Ever since he started working here, he has been after me, chasing me everywhere around the clinic. I tried my best to avoid him and would have told Elera to send him away if not that he was awfully good at taking care of the shadow hunters' victims. He was also good at helping everywhere else and to be fair, he didn't let him chasing me around interfere with his work."Go away. I'm busy" I said and faced my front, refusing to turn around to meet his gaze."Why? I could help you

Katherine's POVI rubbed my hands on my skirt nervously as the sweat was beginning to gather. Finally facing him after so many years, the only thing on my mind was the speech that I had rehearsed so many times on my way here that I feared it would become a mantra for me."Let me have some privacy. I need to rest." I heard him ordering the guards as he entered the palace.Once our eyes met, he stopped in his tracks before walking up to me, his eyes filled with so much concern and confusion. It was almost like I was the last person he was expecting to be waiting for him."Is my daughter okay?" He demanded as soon as he got to me, seeing that I was physically fine."Yes, she is. We need to talk. In private." I said and he immediately led me by my hands to his chambers.I would have preferred us talking in a less private space but considering what I wanted to see him about, I figured his chambers was a smart decision. As soon as we got into his chambers, he led me to his meeting area and

King Kai's POVI stood there, clad in my seer costume, as my daughter looked at me and began to laugh. Katherine was right; she did not believe that I was really her father or anything like that. To her, we were just clowns trying to cheer her up or punish her for even trying to talk to me in the first place."Mom, I have apologized to you and told you that I have learned my lessons. You didn't have to drag him all the way here." She said and hugged her mother again.Katherine looked at me helplessly, almost like she was urging me to say something, but my tongue was stuck on the floor of my mouth."I think you should say something, Kai. She won't believe anything I say now." Katherine said, and I cleared my throat several times."Trisha, come here." I said and tapped my lap as I sat down on one of the wooden chairs in her living room.She walked towards me quietly and sat on my lap after getting a nod of approval from her mom. I was proud of her; she was a good daughter, one that anyo

Katherine's POV"What? You wouldn't blame me for doing what I had to do since I didn't know who to trust at the time." I said to him and laughed.My life was perfect again. Kai truly was my happiness, and I would do anything to make sure I did not lose the connection that we had."I'm happy you are back. There was nowhere that I did not search for you. Roma is actually a strong woman. I went to her to ask if she knew where you had gone, but she said no." Kai said, and I laughed."She actually did not know where I went. I only reached out to her after I had gotten to where I wanted to go. She was also at risk because King Jackson would not have hesitated to kill her." I explained, and he nodded his head."Why can't she come here, though?" He asked me, and I shook my head."She is still scared of him. She feels that if she leaves and he decides to look for her, she won't be able to survive it." I explained to him."Well, let me know whenever she is ready to leave. I am ready to have her

Dexter's POVShe was standing there looking a bit ruffled; her cheeks were pink, and the only thing I could wrap my head around was how much I had missed her. It was crazy to think that she was my mission here; the number one rule was never to get emotions mixed with work."Dexter?" She said, looking at me in shock. I guessed right; I was probably the last person that she had expected to see knock on her door."Hey," I said, now at a loss for words. Her eyes were perfect, and it was like I was staring right into her soul. The boss had not told me in detail how delicate her features were, nor did the hazy picture capture how beautiful she was."Hey? What are you doing here?" She demanded the shock had worn off, and in replacement was her face burning in rage. She didn't look too pleased with my showing up at her doorstep unannounced."I didn't see you at work yesterday, so I thought to come say hello today. Elera would not give me any personal details about you, so I followed your daug

Kai's POVTrisha was all I could think about on my way back to my palace. The reality that Katherine's location was no longer a mystery to me made me very joyous, and I could barely wait to get to be with her every day."My king, there's been word of a slave trader that has infiltrated our kingdom," Azra said."Is that all you know?" I asked him, too happy to let him affect my mood."Yes, my king. I have deployed men around the city, but no one has been reported to be suspicious." Azra responded."Andrew is having another episode of his. Have you gone to the clinic to see him?" I asked him, and Azra shook his head.Thinking about it now, I also had to go to the clinic. Elera was going to employ more workers, and I would ensure that she does that today. Katherine was looking too worn out from working so hard."I didn't know he had another episode." He answered. I knew that Azra was shy about having any personal conversations about his family with me."What happened to him? Andrew used

Katherine's POVKai led me into his room and kissed me as soon as we had some privacy. The kisses were warm, and he let them trail everywhere on my body, surprising me with where next he would kiss as I shivered in pleasure."How was your night?" he asked me and held my waist, pressing his so I could feel the effect of the kisses in his pants."It was great. Yours?" He asked me, grinding against me slowly. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling, wondering what Trisha would think of me if she ever saw me like this."Beautiful. Did you dream of me?" Kai asked, and I laughed."Stop being such a baby," I said to him, slapping his shoulder playfully."I have something for you." He said and I wondered what he was playing at."What is that?" I asked him as he covered my eyes and led me to the front of the mirror. I felt something cold on my neck and opened my eyes to see that Kai was latching a diamond necklace on my neck."Kai, you didn't have to," I said and gasped when his hands fell of

Dexter's POV I calmed myself and went into the office. Whatever façade I was putting on was no longer as effective as it used to be, so I knew that the time for me to leave the Lycan Kingdom was drawing near. Leaving a place had never been hard for me until I got sent here by my boss, and I fell in love with my mission. She was the only one holding me back, and I knew that if I was going to last long with her, I needed to get a new identity as soon as possible. "Yes?" Elera's icy voice cut through me as I sat in her office for the second time that day. She was always on to me, making sure that she was watching every one of my moves. "I want to resign. I need to go back to my home country, as my mom is not feeling well. But I have a cousin who can take up my position until you find someone else as a replacement. I don't know how soon I will return or if I will even return myself." I said to her and swallowed a deep breath. "Okay. When can your cousin resume?" She asked me, ignorin

Katherine's POV It was past my closing time, but we were dealing with a fresh attack on the south side of the kingdom. The shadow hunters were beginning to find a link to the city, haunting down unsuspicious prey and hurting them badly. "Mommy!" A voice yelled, and I looked forward to seeing Trisha's head poking out of an unmarked car. Without being told, I was aware that Kai was in the car and was attempting to hide our relationship from others by keeping things quiet. I walked up to them and got into the car, and true to my words, Kai was seated in the vehicle with a mischievous smirk on his lips. He looked like the devil himself, with his all-black outfit and siren eyes that told tales that could make you fall into a deep sleep. "Hey, baby girl," I said as Trisha jumped on my lap. "Daddy bought me so many things. I love him so much, mommy. Can we not hide from the bad guys anymore? Daddy can take care of us; he can fight, shoot, and do so many cool things. You should have see

Katherine's POV "This is so beautiful, Kai," I said as I leaped into his arms. He carried Trisha in one arm and still managed to hold me tightly with the other hand. I held him tightly and basked in the euphoria of how good he actually felt. The past few years alone with no one to take care of me as I had to do everything myself were finally being lifted off my shoulders. It was great to finally be here, and I made up my mind never to let anyone come in between Kai and me. "This feels so good, Mommy. I've always wondered what it felt like to hug both of you." Trisha whispered, and I felt my emotions give way. Bawling like a child in front of Trisha had not been on my list of things to do today, but here I was, a sorry mess. Kai gently dropped Trisha and held me tightly with his two hands, enveloping me in one of the most reassuring hugs that I have ever had. "You never have to be alone," he said as he patted my back lovingly. "Thank you. I am grateful for this." I said and imag
