"Katie, come to the hospital now! Your mom had an accident on her way to the grocery store. She's in a critical condition." Katie's plans of getting her mother out of this hellhole they lived in, Red Moon Pack, was shattered by that single phone call. Being the illegitimate daughter of the Councilor of Red Moon Pack, Katie as well as her mother had lived a life of pure misery. Arriving at the hospital Katie discovered that something was not adding up about her mother's death. The fact that her mother had the best healing abilities in the entire region was questionable, what made her more suspicious about her mother's death was the fact that her mother's wolf was missing. In an attempt to find out what really happened to her mother, her life took a really drastic turn, as she discovered a series of well kept secrets that changed everything she thought she knew about HERSELF, HER FAMILY and HER PACK in general. With each new revelation, Katie realizes that some secrets are best left buried, and that the real cost of finding out the TRUTH may be higher than she ever dared imagine.

The next picture was Loretta holding her by her forearm while smiling deeply into her eyes. How did she get there??How did she end up with Loretta??With all she had heard about Killian's mother, everyone pretty much knew how difficult she was to please. But the upside was that if you were in her good books, you got all the benefits and shit. A good review and mention in her popular Magazine head article which was an immediate boost in social status and popularity. And across the pack, popularity in good favor meant power, sponsorship, and pretty much every other bonus you could think of. I would have smashed the iPad into the tiled floor if I didn't need it to show as evidence to Donald.I leave for a fucking day and they slacked, losing sight of what was important. I abandoned it all. The wine, hot bath, and massage stormed downstairs straight into Donald's study where an Om
Killian’s POV “Hey boo…” Ana's voice slipped in out of the blue, her hand snaking around my waist as she claimed my lips on the center floor.I have never been the type to say I wish the ground would open up and swallow me whole because nothing ever intimidated me. Until today. I didn't feel intimidated, I felt more out of control than ever and the kiss almost turned into a full make-out session before I broke it off by gently pushing her off by her shoulder. A whiff at her breath and I knew she was at least tipsy if not drunk.“You are drunk!” I gritted under my breath, managing to maintain a forced smile to the fellow attendees who thought this was a show of affection.She chuckled, very confident with a bitter cold scoff slipping out right after. "And you are what, perfectly sober?” She adjusted the hand of her dress. Now that she had pulled back from me I could study her well as the amber light from the glass sculpture fountain nearby danced on her outfit, it was a variation of K
Killian's POV What the hell was that?” Stephen came beside me, watching them walk away towards the entrance.“I have no idea…” I said to him, The faint trace of her scent still leaves me a little light-headed and dizzy. I should be bothered about Katie and Melissa's sudden alliance but instead, I was mesmerized by how gorgeous she looked, yet simple and elegant. Unlike the video from her weekend getaway, she looked more her age in the dress I had picked out for her just like I thought she would.“I have a feeling you do, you just haven't realized it yet…” Stephen tapped my shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts.“You weren't even here a few seconds ago and you already think it's my fault.” I looked at him with an accusatory look.“I was here long enough to see Melissa stare at you like one of the worst people in the world, and we both know she's super chill. I would be worried if I was you…”This time, his words made sense. Now my head was clear of the haze Katie had brought upon m
Katie's POVI stood outside Westview Avenue like a girl who was early to Prom night. I didn't know if I was expecting Melissa to pick me up herself or if there would be a designated driver. The road was fairly busy, with cars passing by every minute or so.At first, I stood on my heels, maintaining a strong posture so no one mistook me for a roadside chic even though they weren't common around here.After thirty minutes passed and no one showed up, Melissa wasn't picking up her calls and I was beginning to feel like a fool while simultaneously getting worried. What if something happened to her? I didn't know anyone who knew her and I also didn't want to show up at the place without her. I searched the purse that Barbara had lent to me, taking out my phone to see if any calls had come through, but there were none.“What happened to you, Melissa…” I muttered under my breath, my eyes darting around for any signs of her."I am sure she's fine, you just have to calm down," Lucy said. "Wor
Killian's POV “You will get to see her tonight," I told them."She's crazy.” “Killian you would say no such thing to a girl that loves you with all she has, my mum queried. "Why can't you men appreciate a woman when she is at her purest form, only to complain bitterly about her after you have turned her into a monster from your own handicraft…” I cocked my head to the side, thrilled beyond reason because I knew that wasn't me she was talking about.“I have a feeling that that wasn't for me but I will accept it anyway since this is a civil conversation," I said. “Hey, another! Make it a bit stronger…” I yelled at the girl behind the counter, knowing very well she was the one I was talking to. She nodded and went to work, only then did I take my eyes off her and focus on my parents. My father had a little glare on his face. It took more than pressing my nails into the walls of my palm to stop the laughter from breaking out.“What she is trying to say is you just have to understand her
The Huxleys.Killian's POV“Killy bear, why didn't you wear the green tie I sent last month, it would have been a dashing fit with your awfully plain white collar T-shirt. And those shoes—”“They are called Converse, Mom. Sure you have heard that that is what people wear to casual occasions.”My mother rolled her eyes, complaining about something else while I had decided to take a longer route by leg to My Café.Yes, I was making Mr and Mrs Huxley Brown take the road by foot to My Café where I had promised them it would be a decent place to have lunch. In my mother's book, My Café wouldn't even make it to the top 250 decent restaurants and diners she has been to all over the world. The numbers weren't randomly guessed, she actually made and self-published a lethal article about the several restaurants and diners she had visited over her three months relaxation spree.“Are you sure you are going the right way? I can't see a single hint of anything remotely fancy, just dandy and old.” S
Melissa's POV I ended the call abruptly. The bag containing Katie's outfit was still dangling from my hand. I exited the shop only to find her standing on the other side of the gallery looking into her phone while two other boys stood beside her. At first, I couldn't tell if she was with them or if they just happened to be standing close by till one of them spoke to her.“Shit shit shit…” Why did I end the call?!I looked back into the store, people still looked at me wearily.“I am fine,” I said to them and everyone went back to what they were doing.Thinking fast, I dialed her number again. She picked it up immediately it began to ring“Hey, sorry for that, I kind of bumped into someone and my phone fell but all is good—” An older woman strolling by gave me a judgemental look.“Mind your fucking business.” I snapped at her in a lower tone.“I should mind my fucking business?” Katie repeated perfectly even though I had covered the mic from being heard.“No! Not you, some nosy woman
Katie's POV My belly crumbled for the third time in a row. I haven't gone downstairs for Breakfast yet, which was like four or five hours ago. I don't know how to explain it because I was definitely hungry but the butterflies were way bigger. It kept me on my bed staring at the speech paper Melissa had printed out for me the other day at her office. The fold lines were bold, telling that it had been neatly kept until my anxiety needed something to feed on.Maybe I was having cold feet, it had to be. I couldn't face Donald and Joanna, I feared they would see through me, Joanna especially. Some days I could swear that woman was a freaking witch and wouldn’t confess to it.I found myself craving for my workplace, company, anything really that just sitting on my bed and waiting for the clock to strike 7 PM.I couldn't do it anymore, looking at the clock every two minutes or scratching the edge of my nail with my teeth, so I picked up my phone lying somewhere on my bed and dialed the firs
Author's POVKillian couldn't sleep.It was the morning of the gala which they had used basically two weeks to plan. Well, most of the planning was done by Melissa and her team while he just approved their budgets while asking himself, ‘Will Mother like this?’Some part of him wanted to please his parents even though he knew that would be like Ice skating on a volcano. A man who had achieved success like his father and a woman with that much ego and OCD could never truly be pleased. He rushed through his religious morning routine, staying longer in the gym so he could work out the restlessness that wormed its way into his muscles.He was able to make it to the office before it was 11 am. Only a handful of his workers were around along with Melissa who was in casual clothes for the first time.“Woah…” Killian muttered, holding on to the door handle as he watched her type away on her phone while she was still in some kind of pajamas.“Are you wearing pajamas?” He had to ask after not b
