KATRINA While I watched what was happening, I tried to break the silver bracelets that the demon had cursed on my hands and legs, but the more I tried, the more it got worse and it annoyed the hell out of me.“Where is Katrina?!” Kane’s prevailing voice echoed in the cave and he was a different wolf from the partly comedic and frisky Kane I had gotten to know. He was unnerved and I could feel his angry aura all the way here.Cannon had a gun pointed at the demon but Ian held a sword with another one behind his back while Kane directed a different-looking sword at her.She raised her hands in the air, trying to take a step back but shook when Cannon shot a bullet next to her ear.“Move and this goes into your head!” I could feel his fuming aura too, but there was something personal and choking about it. A crowd of Sigmas swarmed out of the entrance and stayed behind them, each aiming a deadly weapon at Lilith. I though

IANThe war was f*cking crazy. Agmarbhs were bouting from every corner and they’d wiped out almost half of our Sigmas. Good news was that more agmarbhs were dying than wolves.While I fought one off with my sword, another jumped in and grabbed my sword by its teeth. I pulled out my gun and shot the previous one in its head, trying to free my sword from the other monster’s mouth.Sturdily, I moved it closer to me with a single pull and raised my leg to its face, kicking it hard. It was forced back and I used the opportunity to rip its head apart.Just as I was reloading my gun, one unsuspecting beast attacked me from behind and tried to crush me with its weight, scratching its claws on my head. But I stunned the beast with a gunshot and when it had released me for that split second, I rolled away and got back on my feet, shooting it for real this time.Cannon and Kane were nowhere to be seen and I couldn’t help but feel that I was missing

KATRINA Melora hadn’t said a word since it happened and Hilda’s question just made her further curl into the darkness, leaving herself out of everything but I couldn’t blame her. I’d do the same thing if I were in her position. I’d do anything to be in her position now.I had nothing to say, and even if I did, I didn’t know how to say it. The kids were looking at themselves, unfortunately connecting the two incidents, causing my heart to race.Hilda’s eyes fell on me for the last time and she opened her mouth to say something but I made a run for it.Swiftly, I turned around and rushed up the stairs, trying to hold back the flood of tears that were just waiting to drown me in an ocean of sadness. I heard the kids call my name and Ian’s voice as well but there was no turning back.My room was distant from here and it was devastating to know that I still had to pass a long way to reach it. Then I caught a faint eucalyptus aroma. My steps traced back and there I was, standing in front o

KATRINA“Can we go to the garden now? I want to see our flowers,” Aurora said, rolling on the bed, being the first to have changed into her clothes.“One second, baby. Your brothers and sisters are still getting ready.”I got everyone set and put smiles on their faces as I led them out to the garden. On the way, I stopped a maid and asked for some chicken nuggets, along with a bottle of beer for me.Alcohol is the only thing that’s keeping me sane today, and now that it’s evening, I needed another dose.The kids went to the flowers that they loved tendering and were glad to be outside since it was been a while. I took my seat on the wooden chair and was considering crashing into that big wall, breaking it apart, and just running into the forest, a breath of non-stop fresh air.‘Not a bad idea except I can’t break that freaking wall.’‘We’ll climb then.’‘Unless you’ll bring Kane along.’I remembered what Sesan said as I stirred the alcohol in my coffee mug with my fingers. And yes, I’

KATRINA I didn’t believe it.On the piece of paper were the same words that brought me back to the Triplets almost four weeks ago. Those words changed everything for me and my children and now…I looked at him with a raised brow as he leisurely got out of the water like he had all the time in the world—like I had all the time in the world. First, it was just his head I sighted but d*mn, but when his trunk came into view, I realized that if I didn’t look away, I’d be wetter than him.His hair was soaked, and water dribbled down from it onto his face and shoulders. Kane’s gaze was tight on me and he had that super sexy smirk on. His chest was exposed and the fair lighting made his abs, pecs, and sparkle like he was a lost star that was looking for its way back to space. He climbed out of the pool and by I could see his white dripping swim shorts, my nipples hardened and my fingers were itching to touch. I was getting out of cont
