Katana's POV Damien's kiss was electrifying, eager, and erratic like the storm. Gosh, the man could kiss! My wolf was dying of pleasure and my body ached for more as he thrust his tongue deep into my mouth. It was a slow dance of passion and I was lost in it, completely enthralled by him. My wolf was purring, her claws itching to break free and tear open. My fingers tangled in his hair as he pushed me back against the wall. He pulled away from me with an exaggerated groan but only enough to lift me and straddle me against him. "You're killing me," he murmured against the damp skin of my throat, kissing down my jawline and neck while my hands roamed over his hair. He let out a low groan and gripped me tighter against him. I clung to him, desperate for more of that delicious heat, and he groaned. His hands were everywhere and when I ground my hips against his, the feel of our skin rubbing together made my wolf whimper in need. He was so hard, so hot, and his smell was divi

Katana I woke up the next morning feeling like I'd been hit by a train. A high fever raged within me and I could barely muster the strength to lift my head from the pillow. "Sweetie, you're in heat,” my mum explained softly, her palm placed on my forehead. I was too exhausted to even find the words to respond. She headed to the bathroom and returned with a damp washcloth, fussing like a mother hen and placing the cool washcloth on my forehead. "This is going to be quite difficult for you if you and Damien stay away from each other. It's because of your proximity and he kissed you last night. Your wolf is sick and needs him, " my mum said, dabbing my arms and legs, trying to bring down my body temperature. The coldness of the cloth sent shivers down my spine. "And if he doesn't? What will happen to me?" She shrugged sadly. "Then you'd have to find someone else, this automatically ruins the mating bond. Sadness almost knocked me off the bed. My mum noticed. " You need to eat s

Katana I ran away from Damien, heading towards the duplex, my heart pounding in my chest with every step I took. It would be stupid to tell him what Anysia and her friend did to me. Wiping the sweat from my brow, I rushed over to a nearby tap and splashed my face with water, the liquid refreshing against my flushed cheeks. As soon as I opened the door, the aroma of freshly baked cake filled my nostrils. I made my way toward the living room, where I heard the sound of kids' laughter and the incessant babble of cartoons emanating from the massive plasma screen. I smiled at the sight of them, their bright eyes glued to the screen as they giggled and laughed uncontrollably. Losing myself in their laughter, I watched them. They looked healthier fed, in contrast to their thin bodies when we lived outside the border. My muscles relaxed and my worries dissipated with each exhale as I sat down on one of the empty sofas, reaching for a bright red pillow on the adjacent seat. Memories o

Damien My heart pounded with maddening rage when Xena reported all Anysia and Isadora had done to Katana. The poor girl had suffered in silence, and I felt so guilty for not seeing the signs earlier. My fists clenched in anger, and I stormed upstairs. Anysia had no right to maltreat my mate; that was a very stupid and disgraceful thing to do. After all, the girl didn't force herself on me, and if Anysia had to heap blame on anyone, it should be me. I saw red. Baby or not, it was time to do the needful. I didn't give a shit about what anyone thinks about my bond with an Omega. I loved that girl and would pounce on anyone who treats her cruelly and tear them to shreds. It was time to put a stop to this nonsense. "Leave my house," I yelled at Anysia, swinging the door open. "Now that the baby's born, I have no business with you. If you thought your actions would go unpunished because you have a child with me, then you are sorely mistaken." She glared at me with disgust, shaking her h

Katana The weekend passed in a blur and I prepared for school, sitting behind the dressing mirror and applying my basic makeup, brow gel, highlighter, blush, and mascara. I had so much fun with Damien and saw the side of him I never knew existed. He was funnier than I thought and never ceased to amuse me. And the lovemaking…ugh, it was perfect. He made me feel like a woman and drove me to waves and waves of ecstasy, so much that my body was awash with overlapping waves of pleasure I stared at my hair in the fancy vanity mirror Damien got for me and noticed a difference in my hair texture. Thanks to Xena, who recommended shampoo to help my frizzy hair, I no longer had to worry about a bad hair day. I saw the sides of Xena and her mate, Grey that endeared me to them. They were nice and friendly, and I bonded with Grey because he was a robotics engineer, my dream profession. The other day we spent the whole day in his makeshift office and I learned a lot from him. He, o
