All Chapters of Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Katrina’s POVI moved slowly through the quiet library, the soft sound of my shoes brushing against the floor the only thing I could hear. The space was massive and strangely peaceful, like time had stopped in there. Tall shelves lined every wall, stacked with books of all colors, sizes, and shapes. Some looked new, but many looked like they hadn’t been touched in years, with dust coating their tops and pages peeking out like secrets trying to escape.I ran my fingers across the spines, feeling the rough textures and worn edges. I wasn’t even sure what I was searching for, but I had to try. There had to be something—anything—that could explain the silver flame on my finger, or that strange, beautiful woman with white hair from my dream.I paused in front of a tall wooden shelf with a small sign at the top that said Pack Histories & Myths. It looked older than the other shelves, and the books there had that old dusty smell, like they hadn’t been touched in a long time.My eyes moved qu

Katrina’s POVI turned the corner of the hallway, not expecting anything unusual, but stopped when I saw Cindy hurrying toward me. Her cheeks were a little pink from walking fast, and her apron had a few flour spots on it—probably from kitchen duty. She looked excited.“There you are!” she said, slightly out of breath. “Two people are here asking to see you. They said they’re your friends.”My heart skipped. “Did they say their names?”She nodded with a small smile. “Ariana and Blake.”I felt a wave of relief wash over me. Ariana and Blake. I hadn’t seen them since the bar last night.“Take me to them,” I said, following behind Cindy.We walked through the hallway, past a few curious pack members, until we reached the small waiting room near the front of the pack house. And there they were.Ariana looked up first and rushed toward me. “Katrina!”I barely had time to react before her arms were around me. She hugged me tightly, and I hugged her back just as hard. She smelled like the s

Katrina's POV After a minute, he glanced at me and asked, “How was your day?”I smiled a little. “It was good. I got to hang out with my friends… and I had lunch. Nothing too crazy.”He nodded. “I’m glad. You deserve calm days.”“What about the rogues?” I asked, trying not to sound too worried.“I handled it,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “You don’t need to worry about anything. You’re safe here.”I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. Just hearing him say that made something inside me settle.Then he added, “I’ve enrolled you in the warrior training program. You can start whenever you’re ready.”I stopped walking for a second, surprised. “Wait, really?”He looked at me with a small smile. “Really.”My whole face lit up. I was so excited,

 Katrina’s POVI nodded slowly. “Yeah,” I whispered, barely able to speak.He loosened his grip on my wrists, but didn’t move away. My hands slipped down to rest on the bed, but I didn’t push him off. I didn’t want to.The air between us felt thick—heavy with something unspoken.I swallowed hard and looked up at him. “You’re not playing fair,” I said softly.He tilted his head, his smile growing. “How so?”“You’re distracting,” I whispered, biting my lip without meaning to.His eyes darkened even more, and for a second, I thought he might kiss me again. My breath caught in my throat. But instead, he leaned in close—so close I could feel the warmth of his breath against my ear.“Your turn,” he whispered, his voice low and deep. It sent shivers down my spine.Then he rolled off me slowly

Katrina’s POV“Cindy,” I breathed, lowering my flashlight. “You scared me.”My heart was still beating fast from the scare. I lowered my flashlight fully and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.Cindy stood there by the door, her expression still soft and a little surprised. She took another step into the library, her shoes making a soft tap on the wooden floor.“I didn’t mean to scare you,” she said again, her voice gentle.“It’s okay,” I replied, trying to sound casual even though my chest still felt tight. “I just… wasn’t expecting anyone.”She gave me a small smile and tucked a loose curl behind her ear. “I usually come in here when I can’t sleep. Reading helps me relax, you know?”I nodded, even though my mind was still spinning from the missing book. “Yeah… I get that.”Cindy walked over to one of the chairs in the corner and sat down, her eyes flicking to the shelves around us. “There’s something calming about being in here at night. Like the books are whispering sto
