KANE Katrina doesn’t know how much she’s assisted me. I was closer to finding the culprit now that I knew who she was, her bloody sister. I had to get her, make her talk, spill it out and get me off the hook.I’m not getting beheaded next month and I didn’t like being on vanilla’s bad side either. Maybe she’d stop glaring at me if she found out the truth.I got up to leave.“Thanks, ice cream,” I winked and headed for the door.She was quiet for a while as I walked on before she started asking random questions. “Where did you find the locket? Is that why you were in Southpaw the other day?” Now wasn’t the time to answer those. “Why the questions, Kane? What’s going on?”When she said my name, my d*ck hardened. I had to reply her ‘cause if she called my name like that one more time, I might need to f*ck someone.“Keep the locket, ice cream. I’ll be back to show you the truth.”She didn’t understand what I meant but I left her in the room and took
KATRINA “Is there a new trend where you pull your shirts off before painting?”Kane tossed the shirt over his shoulder while Cannon used his to fan himself. “It got hot in here as soon as you entered,” Kane winked.Melora giggled.‘Shut up, Mel.’“Let’s just get this over with.”I lay on the bed but Ian hissed. “Terrible posture. Lay on the bed with your hands over and let that sexy shape out.”“What?” I asked, surprised that it was Ian speaking.It didn’t sound like the a*shole but someone with a little brain in his head. “Start with the Titanic Rose Pose.”“What?” I asked, again.“I’ll handle this.” Cannon got up from the chair, offering to help but I stopped him there. “I-I’ll take care of this. Do you understand a d*mn word you’re saying, Ian?”Kane took a glass of whiskey down in one sip. “Used to be a sucker for art. Now he’s into smokes.”“Shut the f*ck up, b
CANNONLilith took things too far. I was in my room, thinking about the gone day with my feet overlapping each other and my folded arms over the headboard as my head rested on them.Vodka wasn’t helping and I was replaying Kat’s words about my painting. She complimented that mother f*cker’s painting, even smiled at Kane’s but mine… she called me a terrible painter.‘Katrina…’ I’d gotten used to Shadow’s continuous cries of her name. His appetite for her presence. It looked easy to ignore but it was d*mn hard to control. My brothers couldn’t, especially Ian, and I had so many immoral thoughts of us…What I could do that body and those lips…“Hmm,” I heard Lilith mutter from the blue armchair next to my bed. I said she went too far because she wore lingerie, red unholy lingerie, nasty stuff. Her body was exposed, the panties she wore barely covered her goodies and the bra gave off half of her nipples, showcasing her breasts that had suddenly gro
KATRINA“Mummy, where are they?” Aurora asked, pouting and rolling around the big bed with her knee socks on. “Who?” I asked, sitting Hilda on a chair as I combed her knotty hair. It was late afternoon and they should be playing somewhere but they’d done that all day and I think it was time they had a rest.These last two days in the packhouse have been just the kids and me. Cannon wasn’t around because Elder Sesan requested him to join Alpha Hades in the search for the Agmarbhs. He couldn’t refuse so he had to leave.No one knew where Kane was and it made me more suspicious of him and as to where he can be. I had so many theories but none exactly made sense. The truth… Gosh, I was tired of burning my brain over that.Ian returned to LA on Elder Sesan’s request because Mr. Watson had raised a complaint against him. I didn’t know what about but it was causing a lot of confusion there so he had to clear it out.He apparently had unfinished business i
KATRINAMelora cleared her throat to grab my attention but I ignored her. For the hundredth time…‘Are you bad at math or are you just being ignorant?’…we got ourselves seated in the conference room and I felt better staying on the brighter side of the packhouse. That darker side felt possessed, and to think Cannon’s room was located there.“What news do you have on the agmarbhs?” I asked.None of them were expecting me to keep quiet again so that’s a first.Elder Sesan nudged Alpha Hades and he got started. “Those of our suicide squad that returned brought back some very disturbing… things that were hard to comprehend.”“What were they?” Kane asked with Cannon seeming a bit more anxious than normal.CANNONI avoided thinking about them because those agmarbhs gave me anxiety attacks. Moonstone hasn’t seen trouble like this in centuries and the last one almost destroyed our pack.If I was Alpha, was I really up for the challenge? The
CANNON“What was that you said, Can?” She didn’t sound angry but rather frustrated and I didn’t know which to fear more. “I heard a name.” My silence answered her question and she got off me, her red eyes turning black. But what did she expect?“Katrina’s my mate, Lilith.” I sat up on the bed, reminding her of a truth she didn’t want to accept. What was wrong with her? Though she was like this before, making impossible requests about my body, she crossed the limits. But did limits exist in this complicated relationship? “I’m sexually attracted to her. You should know that!”Lilith gnashed her teeth, angrier than me even though she raped me. So this was what it felt like? D*mn, we’ve done Katrina wrong. So wrong.“Watch what you say, Can. The tongue has put many in trouble.”I left the haunting comfort of the bed and pulled on the first shorts I found, keeping my cerulean eyes on her red demonic ones. “You’ve done terrible things to me already. Is there more?
CANNON“Is anyone else feeling this?” I asked, tempted to tear the shirt off me. The temperature had increased and I knew it was the council’s doing. I searched for a heater but there was none and it left me confused.The ripping of clothes reached everyone’s ears when Ian tore his off. He didn’t hesitate to pull his sweatpants too, leaving only his boxers on. Katrina’s heart rate quickened and she tapped her fingers on the arms of the plastic chair, her nails giving out a clicking sound.Ian walked around the room, using his shirt to fan himself and as much as I gawked at Katrina’s beautiful body, I watched him because if he made a move near her, I was gonna fling him out of here. KATRINADeep breaths, deep breaths… I had been taking deep breaths since Kane pulled his shirt off, then Ian and his sweatpants, and Kane’s sweatpants, and Cannon’s shirt... F*ck, I’m losing it in here.I resisted the desire to pul
KATRINAI didn’t believe my eyes. It was so late at night but Henry was walking in with Alpha Hades! Henry!A big smile molded on my face as I stood there, wrapped in a thick warm towel, still reeking of sweat and trying to decipher if it was really Henry walking towards me or…“Kat! It’s so nice to see you.”He was taken aback by what I was wearing for a second but that didn’t stop me from giving him a big hug. “What are you doing here?” I felt so happy after my horrid time in this place. It was so nice to see a face like his. “How did you get here?”Alpha Hades stepped forward, with his hands behind his back and his head raised high—like the honorable Alpha he was. “He visited me just this afternoon. I was just as shocked to see him.”“Looks like you’ve been busy,” he teased as I grinned, looking at myself.“Oh, this no… it’s err… How’s Carissa? Where’s she?” I asked, almost jumping but Henry flinched.Though
