"Katie, come to the hospital now! Your mom had an accident on her way to the grocery store. She's in a critical condition." Katie's plans of getting her mother out of this hellhole they lived in, Red Moon Pack, was shattered by that single phone call. Being the illegitimate daughter of the Councilor of Red Moon Pack, Katie as well as her mother had lived a life of pure misery. Arriving at the hospital Katie discovered that something was not adding up about her mother's death. The fact that her mother had the best healing abilities in the entire region was questionable, what made her more suspicious about her mother's death was the fact that her mother's wolf was missing. In an attempt to find out what really happened to her mother, her life took a really drastic turn, as she discovered a series of well kept secrets that changed everything she thought she knew about HERSELF, HER FAMILY and HER PACK in general. With each new revelation, Katie realizes that some secrets are best left buried, and that the real cost of finding out the TRUTH may be higher than she ever dared imagine.
View MoreKillian's POVI found a way to leave after the humiliating breakfast which just entailed Ana talking about all the things I did wrong. All of these things my mother believed. She spent another thirty minutes advising me on how not to end up like my father. For the first time in a long time, I had nowhere to go to for solitude. I wasn't sure Stephen would really want to see me now of all times and the way I made him would still leave him scarred. I unconsciously found myself at My Café where Katie works. There is a sign on the outside that they would be closed for today due to some health violation policy. The entire scene looked like something my mother would definitely have a hand in. She only ate here yesterday and today, they had a health violation policy warrant.It almost sparked into another moment of rage, the way she only seemed to appeal to chaos in the name of bringing order to a room she had no hand in making.I got back into my car and drove further up the hill to a point
Killian's POVI had no idea how fast she could walk until I had gotten to the end of the stairs and couldn't find a trace of Ana. A part of me badly wanted to look up, see Katie once more from my point of view if she had a look of concern too or she absolutely wanted nothing to do with this mess.My thoughts about Katie faded to bits when I heard a howl of pain. I rushed to the scene allowing my ears to lead me in the direction of the scream. And there she was.One of her heels had broken off and she had tripped to the ground. I rolled my eyes. She most definitely was too drunk to be doing this.“Save me and save you the embarrassment, let's get back inside or let me take you home.” I offered, the exasperation was clear in my voice. I clearly didn't want to be here when I had two of the closest people in my life right now being currently mad at me.“What do you care..” She muttered, her voice weak and barely audible. I sighed.“Maybe I don't care but one thing I do care about is my i
Katie's POVI made Melissa stop the car a few blocks from my house. All the way there, I kept busy with the multiple scenarios of how badly this could end for me.Now that the mansion was a stone's throw, I could feel my heart hitting hard against my chest.“Are you sure you are going to be okay?” Stephen asked. He was seated in the back seat while I was in the passenger seat. I wasn't really familiar with him but he came off as a harmless person. I shook my head, “I don't know…”“Do you need to be escorted, I don't mind taking some of the heat.” He suggested. I appreciated his effort for someone whom I just met today, though I had a feeling he already knew who I was.“No, it's okay. I think I have to face this on my own since it was a decision I made myself.” I assured him. “You are not alone, Katie. You got us. Anything that happens in there, put one of us on a call and we will fall in to swoop you out.” Melissa said, giving me a reassuring smile. “You want a piece of advice?” He
Katie's POV Melissa pushed me towards the stage. It was a gentle push by the shoulders, just a nudge in the right direction. But for me, it felt like a push towards a fight I wasn't prepared for. I raised my head to the golden amber lights above the platform, wondering how I never realized how bright they were up until this moment.You got thisYou got thisYou got this… I repeated in my head as each clutch of my heels familiarized itself with the fine synthetic wood that made up the short flight of stairs onto the podium.On the receiving end was Mrs. Loretta Huxley, Killian's Mom. I had no idea when she climbed up the stage but her presence there only intensified my nerves.She gave me a welcoming smile before fully taking charge of the stage.“Welcome back everybody for the meet and greet. Trust you met one or two amazing people like I did—” She turned to me beaming, and I returned her smile through my nerve racking state. I knew she could see the nerves I was feeling because sh
Killian's POV “You finally decided to talk to me now?”“Don’t be mistaken, Killian. I share no pity for you whatsoever, you can sit and sulk for all I care. If anything, I might be here to only make one or two things clear.” Her voice is bold and stronger. It was different from what I had heard in the past week about this event.“By all means, take your shot,” I urged her. She dropped beside me, a considerable amount of distance still sat between us, enough for three people to pass between us without having to come in contact with me or herself.It wasn't the best time for me to hear whatever she had to say but I wanted to hear it anyway, my mother already had the streak, and Ana had taken her shot so I thought, how bad can this get?“At first, I wanted to drop out from being your publicist and manager earlier, but then someone advised me that I would only be conceding defeat and I wouldn't be able to prove myself worthy—”“You are taking advice from a 17 year old highschooler??”“Y
Joanna's POV “What the actual fuck?!!” The girl with the tied-up bun and fancy hairpin was Katie indeed. The next picture was Loretta holding her by her forearm while smiling deeply into her eyes. How did she get there??How did she end up with Loretta??With all she had heard about Killian's mother, everyone pretty much knew how difficult she was to please. But the upside was that if you were in her good books, you got all the benefits and shit. A good review and mention in her popular Magazine head article which was an immediate boost in social status and popularity. And across the pack, popularity in good favor meant power, sponsorship, and pretty much every other bonus you could think of. I would have smashed the iPad into the tiled floor if I didn't need it to show as evidence to Donald.I leave for a fucking day and they slacked, losing sight of what was important. I abandoned it all. The wine, hot bath, and massage stormed downstairs straight into Donald's study where an Om
Killian’s POV “Hey boo…” Ana's voice slipped in out of the blue, her hand snaking around my waist as she claimed my lips on the center floor.I have never been the type to say I wish the ground would open up and swallow me whole because nothing ever intimidated me. Until today. I didn't feel intimidated, I felt more out of control than ever and the kiss almost turned into a full make-out session before I broke it off by gently pushing her off by her shoulder. A whiff at her breath and I knew she was at least tipsy if not drunk.“You are drunk!” I gritted under my breath, managing to maintain a forced smile to the fellow attendees who thought this was a show of affection.She chuckled, very confident with a bitter cold scoff slipping out right after. "And you are what, perfectly sober?” She adjusted the hand of her dress. Now that she had pulled back from me I could study her well as the amber light from the glass sculpture fountain nearby danced on her outfit, it was a variation of K
Killian's POV What the hell was that?” Stephen came beside me, watching them walk away towards the entrance.“I have no idea…” I said to him, The faint trace of her scent still leaves me a little light-headed and dizzy. I should be bothered about Katie and Melissa's sudden alliance but instead, I was mesmerized by how gorgeous she looked, yet simple and elegant. Unlike the video from her weekend getaway, she looked more her age in the dress I had picked out for her just like I thought she would.“I have a feeling you do, you just haven't realized it yet…” Stephen tapped my shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts.“You weren't even here a few seconds ago and you already think it's my fault.” I looked at him with an accusatory look.“I was here long enough to see Melissa stare at you like one of the worst people in the world, and we both know she's super chill. I would be worried if I was you…”This time, his words made sense. Now my head was clear of the haze Katie had brought upon m
Katie's POVI stood outside Westview Avenue like a girl who was early to Prom night. I didn't know if I was expecting Melissa to pick me up herself or if there would be a designated driver. The road was fairly busy, with cars passing by every minute or so.At first, I stood on my heels, maintaining a strong posture so no one mistook me for a roadside chic even though they weren't common around here.After thirty minutes passed and no one showed up, Melissa wasn't picking up her calls and I was beginning to feel like a fool while simultaneously getting worried. What if something happened to her? I didn't know anyone who knew her and I also didn't want to show up at the place without her. I searched the purse that Barbara had lent to me, taking out my phone to see if any calls had come through, but there were none.“What happened to you, Melissa…” I muttered under my breath, my eyes darting around for any signs of her."I am sure she's fine, you just have to calm down," Lucy said.
