Katerina:I paced around the room, in nothing but a silk robe and a black lace set, as I thought of which dress to choose. My hair and makeup were already done, and despite not knowing what I would be wearing, I knew that the less makeup and the more simple I looked, the better I would feel and be.The fact that I knew that the elders would be there at Donatello’s place was something that I couldn’t get off my mind, especially since I knew that me giving back the presents must have pissed the Lycan off more than he let out.Nathan wrapped his arms around me from the back, stopping me from pacing as he rested his chin on my shoulder “you are making me dizzy”“And I don’t know which dress to wear”“Both dresses look beautiful though” he said, looking up at the royal blue and purple dresses. I knew that he liked both and that was exactly why I chose them both, but I was at loss of which one I should put on “I believe the blue would be more suitable though, the purple one’s slit reaches y
Nathan:I kept my arm wrapped around Katerina as we entered Donatello’s house, prepared to see what the man had planned for us.“You made it” Donatello said, looking at the two of us “for a second, I thought that you wouldn’t show up”“We got caught up, you of all people should know that I don’t miss an invitation when made” I replied, my response curt and polite. My eyes caught sight of the elders who had wed Katerina and I. Their eyes studied our expressions, and smiling, Katerina looked up at me before connecting her lips with my cheek.“Katerina, it is nice to see that you made it”“Thank you for the invitation, it was kind of you to make regardless of the issues that have happened between us” Katerina said, politely. I smiled when I saw her fixing her hair, its curls having been a little messed up by the wind. Katerina smiled when she caught my reflection through the mirror that hung on the wall by the door.“You are well aware that YOU as a person and I have no issues, anyhow, d
Katerina:I stood in the veranda, taking a sip of the tea Bella gave me while she went inside to check on whether or not the men needed anything. I knew that she would mostly not be coming back. The woman, regardless of not saying anything, has been trying to keep her distance from me and would only speak to me so as not to make me feel left out when I stayed quiet for a while too long. She didn’t understand that the last thing I wanted to do was piss her or anyone off.However, me being alone didn’t last for long as I felt Celeste’s presence behind me. I turned around, facing her, smiling politely at the woman who I knew was waiting for a reaction from me. Her violet eyes which have changed to a darker shade of purple, met my green ones, and I could swear that I heard the woman let out a low growl as she looked me up and down.“How may I help you?” I asked, breaking whatever trance I believed that she was in. I put the cup of tea on the coffee table as I watched her take a seat on th
Nathan:My heart raced against my chest as I walked out of Donatello’s house. My hands shook as I thought of what he had said and the possibilities of it being true. I walked forward, knowing that Katerina was following in silence. She knew not to speak after we heard as not to stir me more than I already was. My heart throbbed with each passing second, and seeing as I didn’t know how to react to it; I just didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about it. I opened the car door for my wife, waiting for her to get inside before I got inside the driver’s seat, starting the car without saying a word. The idea of having my best friend and right hand betraying me like that broke me.The ride home was quiet, and to make matters worse, Carter decided to call. My eyes caught sight of his phone number on the car’s Bluetooth as he called to check on us, especially since neither one of us bothered to call to assure the family about what happened.Katerina stared at the screen for a second, wait
Katerina:My heart raced against my chest as Nathan’s words left his mouth, his eyes were fixed on mine as he spoke, and for a second, I thought that I was dreaming. However, Nathan’s lips pressing against my own snapped me back to reality. I kissed him back, unbuckling my belt as I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer, wanting to deepen the kiss. Nathan smirked, biting my bottom lip before he pulled away to look me in the eye, his hand caressing my cheeks. Both our chests rose and fell as we fought to catch our breaths, our need, want, and love for one another could be seen through our eyes, and I knew that if we were back at home, or in a hotel room, the two of us wouldn’t have wasted time before we started making love. “I love you too, Nathan” I whispered, my cheeks reddening slightly as I looked at Nathan who smiled. The reminder that I had admitted my love for him in front of everyone was something that I knew both of us would never forget, but knowing that it was wor
Nathan: I ran my fingers through my wife’s hair as she slept in my arms, knowing that she must have been exhausted after last night. Her chest rose and fell as she breathed peacefully, curling up in my arms as I smiled down at her. Knowing that it was the weekend, I knew that she had nothing to wake up early for, but I knew not to let her sleep in as she still had a few exam preparations to make before the week started. She didn’t even understand how proud I was of her, but knowing that she was putting her best efforts into prospering in something that she loved was something that I couldn’t help but respect and appreciate. The night with Donatello still played in my head whenever I closed my eyes, and thinking about the possibilities of it was dangerous alone. The things we said at the pack, our arguments, and even our decisions as pack members were now in danger of being exposed, and the thing was, I didn’t even know who was behind that. Katerina stirred in my arms, raising hers
Katerina:I walked through the university cafeteria, knowing that I would be sitting alone.I didn’t bother looking at Blake or Alana who were sitting by one another, knowing that they would end up ignoring me or giving me the cold shoulder. Almost everyone at the campus looked at me, muttering rumors between one another as they judged me for what happened back at the event this weekend.I bought myself a sandwich and a cup of coffee before going out to sit in the garden. I had to revise for my test and I planned on taking the lunch break as an excuse to do so.Setting my things on the floor, I sat down by the tree I usually sat in front of, leaning my back against it as I opened my bag and pulled out my book. Opening the page, I read through it as I took a sip of my coffee.“University food, that’s something that I haven’t seen in a while” my husband’s voice broke my train of thoughts making me jump. I looked up to find him smiling down at me before I set my coffee down and got up, j
Nathan: I had to fight the urge of punching Donatello the second he entered my office. Katerina's words were still playing in my head as I glared at him. He frowned in confusion seeing my attitude; however, I wasn’t going to give him the benefit of knowing that he not only ticked my nerve, he managed to tick my wife’s too.I knew that Katerina was usually quiet, contained, and preferred to stay out of the spotlight, and this was one of the reasons. Whenever she was in the spotlight, she found herself being alone as she gets put in situations that are not preferable to her, and this was just one of them.Carter, Donatello, Donato, and I entered my office, the three men frowning at my state. Katerina was yet to call me to inform me that she was done with her exam; but I was surprised when I saw Donatello arriving at the office twenty minutes after our call.“I take it someone has had a tough day” Donatello mocked, pretending like the night before didn’t happen. It was part of our plan
