Katerina:I looked down at my feet as I listened to the Alpha laughing with Gala, the maid who I learned raised him up as a kid.My heart ached as I walked away from his office’s door, heading back to the living room where I was preparing my schedule for next year’s first semester. Classes started in a month and I was still to discuss whether or not the Alpha would allow me to go back to my studies, but then again, the two of us haven’t had a proper conversation without arguing with one another since we got married.I watched as the Alpha and Gala walked out of the office. His eyes meeting mine for a second as he passed the living room “Gala, prepare the table and let us know when it is ready”Gala nodded, walking toward the kitchen as Alpha Nathan walked inside the living room, looking at the laptop in my hand “what are you doing?”“Fixing up my semester’s plan” I said hesitantly. I turned the laptop for him to look at the window only for him to frown.“You’re a student?”“Yes, I am

Katerina:I walked back to the bedroom the second everyone left the house, not bothering to stick around downstairs to see whether or not anyone needed my help, already knowing that they wouldn’t anyway. I was still expecting a lecture from Nathan about cooking almost everything today. The man was not even aware that I was cooking most of his meals while he was at work all day, believing that it was the maids who were preparing everything.Mum’s words still played in my head as I fought the urge to cry in front of everyone, not wanting the Alpha to see me in such a state. However, I couldn’t deny the pain I felt as I processed what she had said and how she still looked at me despite all these years. Flashback:“You will be bringing us the information that we ask for if you want your scholarship” she snarled, grabbing me by my arm, her grip bruising as she forced me to look at her.“The man is my husband, and even YOU taught me to be loyal to him, mother” I said, trying to pry my arm

Katerina:“Bloody hell” I whispered, trying to stand up without waking Nathan who was asleep beside me. I rubbed my temple, trying to ease the throbbing pain in my head. My sore body was something that I didn’t even want to think of or talk about. “You are going to need a painkiller for that head of yours” I jumped in surprise at the sound of his voice. I could hear his calm heartbeat as he sat up on the bed, looking down at me. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you” I said, avoiding looking at him. Last night’s memories were still fresh in my mind, and despite the alcohol that I had in my system last night, I couldn’t wipe out what happened between mother and I last night, and I still didn’t know how I was going to be opening the subject of not completing my studies with Nathan when I had just told him that I had prepared my schedule yesterday. The man wouldn’t believe whatever excuse I was going to give him, and I didn’t know how I would deal with the situation if he found out abo

Katerina:I heard the house’s door slam shut as Nathan walked out of it, heading out to do whatever it was he needed to finish. I sat on the edge of the bed as I tried calming myself after my encounter with Nathan. His words hit me harder than ever as I glared at the wall in front of me, gripping the bed sheets as I fought the urge of screaming. Knowing that all hell broke loose, I feared anyone, especially my family, finding out about this and using it against me, urging me to betray my husband, and though I had no reason to tell them no about it; I wasn’t a woman who cheated on the man I was supposed to be loyal to. Whatever it was, I didn’t come here to end up sending information to a family who I knew were his rivals, and it killed me to know that he didn’t seem to realize that I wasn’t like them.But then again, I couldn’t blame him. I couldn’t even tell him about what happened in fear of causing a bigger problem between both families, and judging those circumstances, I was forc

Katerina:“Luna Katerina, you just need to make sure that you don’t forget your medication. Your body is strong and you should be healing quickly, but you would need to take things a little easier on yourself” Doctor Ciara said, smiling at me. I nodded, laying back down on the bed, watching as she packed her things to leave. Alpha Nathan walked toward me, sitting on the edge of the bed beside me before taking my hand in his. I stayed quiet, waiting for the pack’s doctor to leave the room before turning my attention to him, raising an amused eyebrow at his attitude “you can go to your opening” “I take it someone has been listening in on my conversation”“Don’t you do that all the time?” I asked, watching as the Alpha lips tilted up slightly as he fought back a smile. My heart skipped a beat seeing that he had loosened up from being angry with me earlier today. “I’m sorry for what happened. I know that the day has been long and what happened with mom was not something that I expected
