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
Katerina:“What game are you playing, Katerina?” Carter asked, stopping me before I left the company. I frowned in confusion, stopping in front of him, putting a hand on his chest as I pushed him inside his office. Nathan was at a meeting and I knew that he wouldn’t be out until another hour, hence why I chose to excuse myself and go back home.“What the bloody hell are you talking about?” I asked, glaring at him. My tone annoyed at him as I reminded him of the fact that he was my husband’s beta and I was his Luna. Carter knew the rules by heart, and I knew that of all people, he should have been the one to both respect, and protect me; however, it seemed like my day couldn’t get any worse than it already was. Between everything that has been happening, I found myself no longer being surprised by anyone’s words, actions, or attitude.“Since arriving, Nathan has gotten into countless arguments with Inna, and that was something that never happened. He has been comparing me to other pack
Nathan:My heart raced against my ribcage as I processed what Donatello just told Katerina. My body froze, preventing me from moving a muscle as a wave of emotions flooded through me, and thousands of questions ran through my mind. I couldn’t even imagine what Katerina felt as she stood in front of Donatello, processing what he said.Her hands shook as she fought the urge to rip the man’s face in half, and seeing that I knew that she could, I forced myself to walk toward her, wrapping my arms around her as to pull her back. Katerina’s body tensed for a second before she turned around to face me, allowing me to wrap my arms around her as if to protect her from Donatello.“It is your choice whether you want to see her or not. But I wanted you to know that you are not alone dealing with this. She left me too, and I broke down just like you did. The one difference is, I was a child when she left, and I didn’t understand why my mom chose to run away with a different man”“No…”“She found y
Chapter 65Katerina:I ran my fingers through my hair as I processed Donatello’s words.My heart raced as I sat on the edge of the bed, not wanting or willing to see anyone as I got lost in my thoughts. The fact that my mother, the woman who had broken so much in me, was as near as wanting to see me was something that anyone else would have wanted. They would have wanted to at least try to get things cleared, I don’t know, try to understand why things happened the way they did; however, I wanted nothing more than to have my memory wiped.Nathan’s scent filled my nostrils as he walked inside the house. I didn’t even know how I was to face him with what he just learned. To know that not only was I a daughter of a ‘mating’, no, I was in fact a bastard who came out of a scandal. He knocked on the door twice before opening it, already knowing that I wouldn’t respond anyway, I couldn’t even look him in the eye if I tried.He stopped in front of the door, not moving an inch, and for a seco
Nathan:I smiled at my wife who just woke up wearing nothing but my shirt. The two of us having slept being exhausted, we didn’t bother taking a shower.It has been two weeks since Donatello told us about him being Katerina’s brother, and since then, it was like my wife was more than determined to fall asleep without a thought in mind but me. “Hi” she whispered, raising herself to look at me. I smiled, pulling her up, pecking her lips. I would be lying if I said that the two of us weren’t getting more intimate as days went by. If anything, the two of us were getting more and more lost in one another, forgetting that the world outside existed, and that had to be the best thing that has happened to us in a while.“Good morning to you too” I teased, raising myself to sit, resting my back against the bedrest. Katerina smiled, running her hand over my bare chest.“Ha, ha” she teased, checking her phone. I smirked when her eyes widened, realizing that it was a while past noon. It was the
