Nathan:“Good morning, baby girl” I whispered, kissing Calista’s hand as she sat on my lap. She has been sitting there, playing, and pretending to draw patterns for the past fifteen minutes, and despite hoping that she would eventually get tired and stop, it seemed like my little princess had other plans.“Good morning” she said, smiling brightly. Katerina was still fast asleep, curled up beside me, and checking the time, I knew that her alarm was still fifteen minutes away from ringing; therefore, Calista should have been asleep for a while longer.“Why are you awake, princess?” I asked, getting up and lifting her with me. Katerina stirred a little, and frowning in her sleep, she opened her eyes to look at me.“Nathan?” She asked, frowning in confusion. She rubbed her eyes from sleep, noticing our daughter awake in my arms before she checked the phone in fear that she slept in.“Calista woke up a little early, malyshka, don’t worry” I said, sitting beside her. So much for not waking
Katerina:“You know that you can’t keep avoiding Inna forever, Nathan” I said gently, helping my husband with the buttons of his shirt.“Katerina, my sweet malyshka, we’ve talked about this…”“It’s been six years, Nathan” I said, stopping him, my voice softening “I wasn’t even pregnant with Elijah at the time, and you know that she has been there for me more than anyone when I literally had no one to help me” Nathan stayed quiet for a few seconds, his heart racing against his ribcage as I stood on my toes to kiss his jawline “I know that this is a sensitive topic, but even your father talks to her at times. The two of them are trying to fix things up, and as you can see, they’ve started sharing a room recently…”“My angelic malyshka” Nathan said, stopping me “I know that you are doing this out of good intentions and I know that your beautiful heart just wants me to be happy. But baby, you know that mom has hurt more than just me and dad. The order of the pack changed with what she di
Nathan:“Mummy!” Elijah said excitedly. Katerina laughed and got down on my knees, hugging him tightly before kissing his forehead.“Good morning to you too, darling” my beauty said, smiling at him. Calista ran to my arms, giggling when I lifted her. I watched as my wife got up and carried Elijah to the dining table, smiling at the sight of Inna and Dimitri who were sitting, watching us.“Good morning to the whole family” Carter said, entering alongside Jade who had her daughter in her arms.Katerina put Elijah down and turned to face the beta, playfully glaring at him, watching as he took a step back in mocking surrender “what did I do this time?” “Oh, you are so going to bloody get it” Katerina said, glaring at him. “Wait, what did I do?” Carter asked, letting his mate go as he caught my wife, stopping her from attacking him, knowing that she won’t do anything anyway. Katerina laughed and Carter turned her around, pinning her to his chest, wrapping her own arms around herself, res
Katerina:“Are you sure that you don’t want to tell mom, Katerina?” Donatello asked, looking at me as the two of us walked through the house’s garden. He knew that I wasn’t one to like to hide things; however, time showed me more than once that I couldn’t trust the woman, and plus, I didn’t really need to remind him that the woman abandoned the two of us as children. “Donatello, you may be able to trust her enough to call her mum, but I only do that out of respect. We both know that she is no mother to me after what she did, and I know that you would tell me that she had to, and that she needed to ensure that I was safe, and the thousand other excuses. But she left me to die, Donatello. A child is not to be left in the streets alone, anyone could have kidnapped or hurt me, and she isn’t stupid as not to know that. She went to live her life and never bothered once to check on whether or not I was alive” I said, looking at my older brother who sighed but nodded in understanding “she wo
Nathan:“What did you find?” I asked my wife as she sat in the living room alongside my father. “Nothing that you wouldn’t have heard from Natasha yet, but the main issue is there isn’t an Elijah or Alexander in the history of the House of Grimaldi” Katerina said, making me frown in confusion as I sat on the floor beside her. Dimitri was sitting on the couch while my beauty was reading through different books while she sat cross legged on the floor.“She is right, we tried searching through every scroll, book, or parchment that we could find. The House of Grimaldi ended with three members of the family. Sienna Pazzi, as his wife, Sienna Grimaldi, Alberto Grimaldi, and their son, Giuliano Grimaldi. It is said that they died in the plague, at least that is what the books say, it could be a different case, but the House of Grimaldi spread around since then, and most of their wealth was spread between the people or those who managed to survive the black death” Dimitri said, looking at me
Katerina:“You’re being serious?” I asked, wide eyed. Nathan chuckled and nodded, and shaking my head at him, he pulled me to his chest, hugging me tightly as we lay in bed.“Carter and I found him at the bar alongside Natasha. I have to admit, the woman was right when she said that she had him wrapped around her finger. The man wouldn’t look at another woman throughout the whole night, at least, not in a sexual way, and needless to say, we did offer him to get whichever girl he wanted; but he rejected. Eventually, after a drink or two, I invited him to the gala, and he agreed to attend. But he doesn’t really know that you’re my wife, at least, I think. So, for now, we have the Grimaldi Lycan coming to our gala, and we’ll see how Ariana would react when she sees him” Nathan said, giving me a briefing of what happened through the night, both surprising and impressing me by Natasha’s skills. I knew that the woman was good in what she did, I just never expected her to be this good.“I do
Nathan:“Can you please help me with the dress, love?” Katerina asked, walking out of the dressing room. I smiled at the sight of my wife, and needless to say, my eyes widened in surprise at the sight of her walking out of the dressing room wearing a simple, yet classy black dress.The dress wasn’t all too exposed, but needless to say, it exposed enough of her body to make me want to rip her dress off and take her, here and now. She stood in front of me, and turning around, she removed her hair from her back, allowing me to see the zipper to zip up the dress. I made sure to gently brush my finger over her back gently, feeling tempted to unclasp her bra as I did.“You’re making it very hard for me not to take you right now” I whispered to her, zipping the dress completely. The dress tightened around her breasts, bringing them up just a bit. The valley of her breasts were exposed just enough for those to admire her from far, but it wasn’t too exposed so as not to cheapen her. Her eyes
Katerina: “Are you alright, love?” I asked, walking around the gala alongside my husband. Nathan’s been quiet since the encounter with his mum, and I was starting to fear his cold behavior. “I’m fine, Katerina” he said, not bothering to look at me. I knew to dismiss the topic after that, not wanting to cause a riot or a problem that would have us being the center of ‘bad’ attention. We could already hear gossiping happening around from the other packs and the other human businessmen that were around. Unfortunately, the rumors about the scandal that Inna did not only caused us an issue between the wolf packs. Despite them not really knowing about us being wolves, the fact that she had a lover over her husband was enough to have others putting a question mark. “If it isn’t our famous Pakhan and his beloved maiden” Andreas Garcia, one of the Mexican partners we had. The man was an heir of the Garcia family, and not only was he arrogant, but he was one of the men who had helped with
