Katie's POVA red wolf walked through the midst of clouds around me and I saw her.“Lucy?!”My voice echoed so loud in my own head that it hurt every corner of it. Even while I knew I lay awake in the real world, I could still feel the side of my cranium ticking from the worrying amount of blood that drove north to my brain.Truly, it was her. The similarity in the divinity of her presence remained constant. I unconsciously found myself bending to a knee.“What are you doing?” Lucy asked, her voice displaying elements of a puzzled being.I looked up at my wolf, her large red fur head was cocked to the side. Even in the unidentified world, she still somehow looked just like I remembered her the last time. “Am I dead?”I took the initiative to ask. I wanted to ask all this time instead of figuring it out on my own. Death had been explained in so many ways in the past and I feared this may have been one of them. “No Katie, you are not dead. This is your mind, where I stay.” I glanced a
Katie's POVTurned out that waking up in the lake was exactly what my soul needed exactly.Maybe it was the sun or the smell of earth that gravitated towards me coming from the woods that surrounded the lake but it healed the worry inside of me.It was Sunday. Sundays were usually the days I went grocery shopping with my mother even though it would come with a lot of grudges and second thoughts, I always went with her anyway. But now things had changed so fast, It took me some time to wonder what I was doing here.I retired to the not-so-cabin house after the sun started to get brighter with the aging of the day. I didn't know how I could exchange the warmest for the brightness so I decided to let it all go at once. The rest of them were on their phones scattered around the kitchen, the smell of pancakes brushing the air with that nice confectionery scent that reminded me of My Café where Shedrack and I worked. The only distinguishing property was the absence of coffee which no one wa
Katie's POV Staring down at my now dead screen phone, I waited for some sort of emotion to override me, pull me back into making another phone call, and apologize to a man powerful enough to run against my father. It just wasn't enough to beat the low-sipping rage that fueled my system. I looked down at my phone again.‘Maybe he would call back and I would just explain how this whole thing was his fault’I thought, tapping my feet on the ground. When I figured my nerves wouldn't let me rest—like at all, I picked myself up and walked all the way to the front of the house and just stood there, staring at the white door for entrance. Everything made me mad the more I thought about it.‘Cabin house my foot! It wasn't even a cabin house, it was like rich people wanted to eat their cake and have it,’I studied the house as it rose as high as the height of the trees beside it. Clearly, they knew how much of a mansion this was rather than a cabin…they knew exactly what the fuck they were do
Katie's POV A light flashed at me, the mic over my head.I literally walked into a media ambush. And There everyone stood in a U shape and I was right there in their center looking like a fish drawn out of the coldest lake. The sound of the door clicked behind me which meant the evil beast for a stepmother didn't only close the door to reduce my chances of escaping from this setup, but further threw the key into the ocean just to make sure that I was ruined. I haven't known her for long but it was very much typical of her.She sort of glided from my back where I couldn't quite see her but knew she was watching me to where I could see her full dull deep blue dress that stretched over her legs. The expensive pearl on her neck and modest hair were one instead of the extravagant lustrous hair she wore that bounced like it had spring infused in it.This was very much a huge set up alright. They looked modest, almost like they were mourning but with secret smiles on their faces.“Miss Kati
Katie's POV“What the actual fuck?...” The other crew members kept hollering at him to stop but he wouldn't.“Felix, just fucking stop!!!” the producer yelled at him but he didn't—it seemed more like he couldn't. The garden was a center area in the compound which made it the perfect spot for a scenario this crazy. His head looked beet red, matching the cap of his cock. He came over Joanne's favorite bluebells and I couldn't help but stumble over in laughter which was loud enough to be heard and seen. But thankful I had excused myself from my window area to make sure there wasn't really anything to worry about.It was an unbelievable site. I turned back to the window as If to make sure I wasn't still hallucinating from yesterday. The culprit was now no longer naked, he was red from embarrassment, apologies falling out of his lips as he begged Joanna who was yelling profanities not just at him but the entire crew at their level of unprofessionalism. Then it dawned on me. I had told hi
Katie's POV “Lucy…what did you do?” Suddenly every voice sunk deep into the background and faded into distant noises. I found myself concentrating on my growing heartbeat causing me to trace my way to my bed so I could take some deep breaths.I stared down at my hands looking at the faded lines that stretched across my palm like they would speak some meaning to my current situation.“Lucy!” I suddenly snapped, a frown growing on my face, “What the fuck just happened?!!” “I am Lucina, Katie. My job is to heal, as I'm the best healer there is amongst all of the wolves. But that, that was all you. I had nothing to do with it.”My skin pores felt ready to the air around me sending cold chills all over. What the hell did she mean by that?“Lucy, you are not making any sense now.” I stood up and checked outside of my window for the ongoing chaos. It didn't seem like it was escalating anymore. The producer seemed to be apologizing to Joanna from the way his face kept contorting into diffe
Katie's POV “I’m with the press and I'm here to help you.”I gave her a once over. It was really all I had to do to see she had her own ulterior motives.“Look, whatever ulterior motives you have, I don't want to be part of it or help you bring it to life. We both know one thing, as much as you claim you are here to help me, you are also here to help yourself because Frankly, that's what matters to you.” I told her plainly, and kept on walking, taking the route with trees planted by the sidewalk so I was away from the eyes on the street.It didn't take long before I heard a car slowing down behind me. Soon it caught up with me and it wasn't much of a surprise that she was the one.“You definitely can't take no for an answer, can you?” I said out loud, not necessarily checking if she was the one.“I’m sorry. This wouldn't take much of your time, if only you would give me five minutes and in exchange I will take you to wherever it is you are heading to.”The offer is tempting. I could
Katie's POV Her conditions were something that I couldn't stop thinking about even while the woman in front of me was subtly glaring at me.I made it to the Café half an hour ago and Shedrack as usual had already started up. Arranging everything into its place while all I had to do was attend to the customers at the front desk. But even that wasn't enough to keep my mind off the conversation from earlier in the afternoon.“I would like my order now and not later,” the impatience in the woman’s voice brought me back successfully. I placed her order in the brown paper bag and handed it to her. There was no form of gratitude—and I wasn't expecting any.“Hey,” Shedrack called out to me for the first time since I arrived at the shop.“Hey…” I replied dully, moving in between the cashier and the show glass top where the woman left the money for me to take care of.“Come on, you can't still be mad at me.” He whined. I felt his eyes following my every movement as I walked to and fro until th
