KATRINA I took my seat. The conference room was fuller than it was one hour ago—or maybe it was just me. Kane took the seat right next to me—making me regret not returning to where I was before. I could feel his eyes on me but I dared not give him eye contact.I cleared my throat awkwardly when Cannon sat by my left.‘Kat, can we move? It’s getting hot in here.’‘No, I will not be intimidated by their presence.’As if it wasn’t already worse, Ian sat on the other side, right opposite me. I took a deep breath and rubbed my fingers apprehensively. They didn’t even hide the fact that I was affecting them because all their eyes were on me.Tension filled the air when two doctors entered the conference room. They were in casual wear but one carried a file in his hands.I always admired doctors. I thought I could be one when I entered human territories but things didn’t work like that. I was so behind in life—I don’t think I can catch up.“Greetings, council members,” the taller among them
CANNON“How?! How is this f*cking possible?!” I hurled the vodka bottle at the wall, causing it to shatter and spill its contents out. I got up, pacing around my room.“Oh relax, Can. Don’t get so worked up.” She was in a short ruby dress, and her red long hair was braided and tied around her neck like a hungry python.“Don’t get so worked up?!” I stopped and faced her. “Katrina and those little brats came from nowhere! They’re ruining all my plans!”She clicked her tongue, shaking her head sadly. “You still don’t get it, Can.”“What am I meant to understand?!” I picked up a chair and tossed it at the same point the vodka bottle shattered, as it dismantled like glass. “Everything’s f*cking over. It’s over.”“No, it’s not, Can.” She stood, taking slow steps toward me. “It’s not. Everything has fallen into place. Do you now see why I told you to arrange the foursome, kill your father, and free Katrina? Do you?”She stopped in my front, removing the loose strands of hair that had stuck
KANEI didn’t know if it was a blessing or a curse. ‘Blessing wrapped in a curse,’ Ante said.I had one more chance to become Alpha. Just one chance and it's all thanks to Katrina and her pups. I could fail and get beheaded or win and become the Alpha with the vanilla ice cream by my side.That alone was worth the risk.I had been searching for her but even her glorious scent was hard to pick up in the biggest packhouse of all wolf territories. I had to find her. Cannon thought he was doing a good job, wasn’t he?“Going somewhere?” I hadn’t heard that voice in a long time. I turned in the direction of the sound and sighted Ian in a dark hallway.I could tell it was him because of the visible red-hot bottom of a cigarette that was emitting smoke.He came out of the darkness so I could see his face better.The f*cker had changed. He now had a dark stubble, showing he had recently shaved. His muscles were profound and he had gained weight. He wasn’t wearing those gothic clothes anymore.
KATRINAI cleaned the kids up and ended up messing myself but that was fixed. We found our way to the dining hall thanks to a maid’s help. Moonstone had exquisite taste because the packhouse was like a modern palace.‘Reminds me of Disneyworld.’I shivered. ‘Still gives me nightmares.’We were the first here so I sat the kids in a line and stayed beside Hilda. Hilda and Aurora were already trying to open the cloches of the trays to sneak peeks of their contents.“Where are your manners? Can’t you two act like princesses for once?”The two giggled but Dash composed himself like a high prince. I was about to compliment him when I saw that he had already stained his trousers with chicken wings he had earlier stolen from the not-well-covered tray in his front.The girls looked at him and three of them ended up laughing. There was no way I was going back to change him. It was too late anyway because the triplets swarmed in.When they said they would join us, I seemed pretty okay with it bec
IANYeah, I said that. Someone needs to tell them the f*cking truth.Katrina grabbed two forks and placed them straight up on the dining table, glowering at me. I was f*cking sure she had ulterior motives for those forks other than eating.‘You got that right,’ my wolf, Bolt, said.“You can’t tell them that! You can never and will never be their fathers!”“One of us will,” Kane commented, making her flare up.“Mummy, what do they mean?” Dash asked, changing eye contact from me to Katrina.There was something about Dash that sparked my interest. I always preferred a male son anyways.“They’re speaking nonsense,” she said, trying to ignore our stares by stuffing her mouth with chevron.“Is it because they’re drunk, mummy? They’re drinking alcohol.”KATRINA‘Disadvantages of having a sharp kid, isn’t it?’“Thanks for the observation, sweetie. And we don’t talk while eating so keep your mouths shut and finish your food.”“But you’re talking?” Aurora asked, pouting and sending a wicked star
IANI lost control when my skin swept against hers. I had missed this feeling so much. Nothing could beat it. If I had my way, I would get on her right now.It was amazing how a she-wolf could make me go s*x crazy for her and ignore all other wolves. I didn’t think I could ever be satisfied with a wolf, but I’d rather die for a night with her than have every other wolf in the world.‘Nicely said,’ Bolt said, wishing he could clap me up.She stared at me, shock written in her eyes. I gave her the chance to pull away but she didn’t, and I knew she was enjoying it as much as I was.KATRINAGoddess, he tasted like paradise. His lips were sweet and salty, and his breathing stirred me up. I was finding it hard to keep my eyes open because the pleasure was overwhelming.Sparks were flying and I was finding it even harder to resist. The best times were when he let me go for a quick breath—moaning—before swallowing me back up.I couldn’t hear Melora’s voice or that of anything else around us.M
KANEI’ve never woken up before 7 am… ever. Never prepared myself on time and never reached anywhere in my life before Cannon. So I was pretty much marking this date.I was on the lawn, sitting on a plastic chair close to the entrance as I watched a wolf mow it, with three bottles of whiskey next to me.At least, Cannon didn’t forget to plant something. I didn’t know what the a*shole was thinking when he built this place. So much electricity, human-like habitat features and there were two f*cking cars packed in the compound. Cars!I smelt smoke before I picked up his earthy musk scent. “Isn’t it early to drink?”I dropped the glass cup on my lap, trying to smell something other than the smoke he was puffing out. “Isn’t it too early to be smoking?”He chuckled. “That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. You’re such a f*cker, Kane.”I said nothing as Ian stayed there, watching the she-wolf who was mowing the lawn with a spicy smirk on his face. “How many b*tches have you f*cked?”“What?
KATRINA“Why are the roads free?” Hilda asked, curious as ever.“And bumpy,” Dash complained, grunting anytime the black Ford Escape entered a pothole.I couldn’t answer them because I was sucking in the view of Moonstone. Over here, the sidewalks were bigger than the roads. There were so many wolves out, walking with their mates, pups, and parents… it was a calming sight—even though it was fairly noisy.There were no houses around the main streets, just shops, salons, malls, restaurants, and others. Trees and vegetation were present, and the air was moist—scenting of different things as we passed through different stores.For some reason, Moonstone was dull. I remembered that scorching sun that burnt me years ago. Now… I’d love to see it, anything was better than this dimness.The atmosphere was cool and there were hundreds of scents. I could see some shifted wolves running down the streets. These roads reminded me a bit of the UK, but the potholes here were out of this world.I didn’
