Katerina:My heart raced against my ribcage as the woman stood in front of me. Her eyes studied my expression for a few seconds, practically reading my body language, making my heart race under the tension of her intense gaze.“What the fuck is going on here?” I asked, looking at mum whose eyes dropped to the ground, avoiding my eyes. I knew that she could read my anger in my eyes, and seeing as she didn’t respond, I could tell that this was something that she has been setting up for a while.“I believe that the two of us need to talk. That is why I came here, and I am well aware that me coming here without an invitation would not really help…”“Who the bloody hell are you?” I asked the woman who sighed. The woman’s eyes and stance were more confident than I would ever be, and despite knowing that I looked exactly like her, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat weak compared to her. Maybe because I actually was…“She does have my attitude; therefore, I cannot say much about it” she said,
Nathan:I froze, listening to what the woman said for a second before Katerina shook her head. It wasn’t like I was against Donatello being the next heir of elders, it was the exact contrary. The fact that the man was now at risk was what worried me. “How could my brother be the next heir? Hell, if anything, Domenico wants nothing other than to…”“He seemed to be the chosen one. Elders are chosen due to different criteria, and your brother has met them all. One of them was peace with the wolves, he does not mind humans being around him, it is something that Domenico does. He is humble, and does not take advantage of his position as Alpha. Needless to say, he is everything that an elder should be, something that Domenico seemed to forget over the years. And that is something that he would be paying for greatly” Caterina said, looking at me, shaking her head in question as she waited for what I had to say.“Does he know? Or is there any way that he would know?” “He does not, not yet
Katerina:“You have been too quiet lately, and it is starting to annoy me” Nathan said, wrapping his arm around my waist as he pulled me to his chest. My heart raced against my chest, and looking out the window, I watched as the pack members trained down in the arena. The full moon was coming soon, and knowing that we would be shifting, I couldn’t help but feel excited. But I was also worried, and I didn’t even know why at this point.“You know that feeling when you find yourself under so much pressure, only you don’t even understand why you are?” I asked, turning around to face him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him, as I pulled him down to kiss me. Our lips connected in a quick and gentle kiss that held so much meaning, and yet, was enough to make my heart skip a beat. “Well, do you want to talk about it?” Nathan asked, his voice softening. In truth, I didn’t even know what I wanted to talk about. I just wanted to lay in his arms for a while, let everything that has be
Nathan:“How are you feeling, malyshka?” I asked, running my finger over my beauty’s stomach. Having gotten her period, she confirmed to me that she was not pregnant, and now, I was more concerned about her wellbeing as I knew that her emotions would be jumbled up, especially after what she found out from Caterina.“Exhausted is the right word for it” Katerina said, turning to look at me. She lay her head on my chest, and running my fingers through her hair, I knew that she would mostly want to cuddle, especially on her first day which was usually what she called the ‘lazy’ day. However, I knew that she wasn’t being lazy, she was genuinely in pain, and that would result in her NEEDING to rest despite her constant arguing that she didn’t need it.“Well, I am guessing that you could have the day in bed. Carter and I would be taking the kids to school, and…”“The driver is not picking them up, Nathan” she said, stopping me. I chuckled, shaking my head at my beauty who shook her head at
Katerina: I watched as Calista and Ilya entered the car before going back inside to the living room. I knew that Dimitri would be waiting for me. The two of us still had a lot to do, and that fact alone was both exhausting and exciting. Knowing that Caterina wanted me to speak to Alexander, I didn’t know how to react, and the fact that Elijah, his father, my great grandfather, and son had the same name was something that I couldn’t let go of. And though I was aware that it wasn’t his real name, I was still weary. Then there was the fact that Caterina and I shared the same name, even the last name, and that was something that surprised me. First, I looked EXACTLY like her, and second, we had the same name. I knew that I might have been acting delusional, but if life taught me one thing, nothing happened out of coincidence. There must have been a relation to why we were practically the same, and why she appeared in my life now in specific. However, what it was, I was yet to find o
Nathan: I ran my fingers through my hair as I sat on my desk, reading through the book that Katerina and Dimitri gave me. My beauty walked toward me, and standing behind me, she wrapped her arms around my back, kissing my cheek gently before she started massaging my shoulders. Her fingers were gentle, but she knew that they would do the trick of relaxing my tensed muscles. She knew that I was still pissed about the fact that she got out of bed when she knew that she was tired; however, I couldn’t even be angry with her about it. Yes, I was pissed, but I knew that she was doing her best to help ME out, and that was something that I was more than grateful for. “You’re still refusing to talk to me” she said, breaking the silence between us “and you’re refusing to get in bed beside me” “I am not upset with you, malyshka. Yes, a little annoyed by you going against me” I said, turning my chair around to face her. I extended my arms toward her, and smiling, she straddled my lap and wr
Katerina:“Luna…” one of my maids, Andromeda, said, walking into the living room where I was sitting with Donatello. The two of us had work to finish, and I also needed his help with the financial calculations as they didn’t seem to make sense to me. Her eyes avoided my own as she looked down at her feet. I shook my head in question, waiting for what she had to say, trying to study her expression. Donatello, who was sitting beside me, frowned and looked toward the front door, and looking at Andromeda, I noticed that she hesitated for a second before I caught the familiar elder Lycan by the door. I frowned before standing up from the couch, motioning for Donatello to wait. The last thing I needed now was both Lycans encountering one another, especially not after what I heard from Caterina about the eclipse that was coming and what Domenico planned to do. I walked to the door where Inna and Dimitri stood, facing the Lycan who wanted to enter the house. Jade was by her kitchen’s door,
Nathan:Caterina ran her fingers through her hair as she sat on the chair in front me. Her anger and rage were visible in her eyes as she glared at me, clearly still annoyed by our previous argument. The evening was long enough to begin with; therefore, the two of us clearly wanted it to end.Having changed her clothes to a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt. They were given to her by Natasha who was now standing a step back from her seat with her knife ready to attack her if needed.“I take it that you’re willing to speak now” I said, looking the woman in the eye. My tone calm as I knew that she realized that I wasn’t threatened by her.“You do realize that I could suck you all dry…” Natasha stopped her by putting the knife on her neck, pressing on it, as she warned her. I stayed quiet, and looked at the woman, watching her reaction, waiting for her to say something different. She went quiet, and by quiet, I mean completely quiet. Her eyes met mine and shaking my head in question,
