The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness

- KATALEYA ~

Sky answers first. She's in bed, a cat-faced face mask on her face with Malevolent sitting in her lap. "Hey there Kat, long time no hear, tell me were you busy getting down and dirty with kiké, is he fit?" "Sky! Where's Royce?" I whisper.

"Working," she pouts, fixing the strap of her cami. "Shame isn't it, so tell me how sexy is Enrique."

I blush. "Very," I admit shyly.

"Oo, like on a scale of 1-10, 10 being you want to f**k his brains out every time you look at him." Her cat-like eyes are popping from her face as both she and Mal stare at me.

"I'm not answering!" I say, my cheeks burning in embarrassment.

"Ooo, so he's a 10, huh?"

More than a 10...

"Let's just say he's the most handsome man I have ever seen," I whisper, waving my hand. "So you're still in bed? Isn't it like midday in Alaska?"

She and Royce have been there since they were organising the World Summit Leo has called for.

"Yeah, late night fun, you know." She winks, making me blush, but I'm relieved she isn't asking me about Enrique. Now just Zu to go...

"Hey, Mal," I say, just as Azura comes into view. Her hair's wet, which meant she was in the shower, and she's wearing a black sports bra. I can see Leo in the background tying the string of his sweatpants. Naughty naughty couples everywhere.

"Sorry, I almost missed your call!" Azura says, and I try not to stare at the bruises on her neck, and the bite marks that cover her neck and shoulders. Did he make love to her or assault her?

I don't dare voice that out loud since both of them can talk about sex like it's their favourite topic.

"It's ok, how are the kiddies? I really miss them," I ask. I had stayed there for a while and I got used to them being around me.

"They're good, asleep so Daddy and Mama can have some adult time." She smirks. Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on NovelDrama.Org.

Leo walks over, his hand wrapping around her throat from behind, and bends down, kissing her on the lips before he looks at the screen as he takes a seat behind her and yanks her against him.

"Hey Kat, how's it going? I see they tried to get into your phone," he remarks.

I smile "Yeah, I'm good though."

"I still don't get why you would allow Leo full access... I mean..." Sky trails off with a look I don't understand.

"I have nothing to hide from him. Why can't he have it?" I ask, confused.

"Well... our innocent Kat." Azura sighs and Sky grins.

"Not for long. Enrique will take her innocence soon enough." She cackles.

"Sky!" I exclaim as Azura laughs.

"She said he's fit, he's a 10 she wants to fuck."

"I didn't say that!" I protest as Azura laughs.

I look at Leo for help, and he cocks a brow. "Did he take the prosthetic?" he asks.

"No, he said he doesn't want it."

"I respect him for that."

I look up, surprised, as Sky scoffs. "For what, being a douche brain? Dumb cunt should take it."

"Take it as you want, but for me, I like that he didn't. Not yet, anyway." Leo says as he reaches for something before he wraps his arms around Azura again. "So, does he have like a hook?" Azura asks, kissing Leo's jaw.

"No." I pout as Skyla cackles, fixing her cat mask

"And what the fuck are you meant to be with that weird thing on your face?" Leo asks her.

"Hey it's cute, and it's a cat mask, see? Don't insult it." She growls back.

"It is cute." Azura and I agree.

"So, has he seen the prosthetic?" Sky asks.

"No, just the box." I shrug.

"I hope you guys made an entire array of built-in s*x toys, vibrator, dildo finger, c**t massager"

"Skyla!" I hiss as Azura laughs.

"I said that to him when they were making it!" she adds.

"I aint a fucking sex-toy maker," Leo growls as I try to hide my embarrassment.

"It's fine. They'll figure it out or Kat can make some amendments to it." Azura says "Ok, enough of that, so tell me, Kat how are you otherwise? How are things?"

"They're complicated, but he wants to make me his Luna." My smile fades, it's easier to tell these guys than Mama and Dad. Leo included, studying under him taught me a lot and we are closer now. "His Luna?" Why do I feel there's more to it?" Leo remarks coldly.

"There is...I won't be his official Luna." I say, forcing a smile.

Leo's eyes flash as Zu and Sky both frown.

"So, if I'm fucking correct, then that means he will want you to mark him to strengthen himself?" he asks coldly.

"I'm going to come there, and when I'm done with him, he won't only be handless but dickless too." Skyla growls.

Despite the severity of the situation, I start laughing before I clamp my hands over my mouth. "Hey that's not nice, poor kiké..." I say, feeling extremely guilty and sad as Azura stifles her own snicker.

Leo smirks. "He deserves it for being cruel to you, but you seem to be doing fine."

I nod. "Yes, oh, and there was a run in with Crawlers," I say quickly before filling them in.

"So what's your plan?" Azura asks, now serious.

I frown before I hunch over my phone and begin switching to sign language to give my reply. 'There is something going on with him, a darkness... his eyes sometimes turn that very same orange I saw in his father a long time ago.

'That's not possible, the djinn was killed. Leo signs back, as Azura texts Skyla what Leo is probably translating for her.

'I know, but I'm wondering if it's like an after-effect or something. Like a person exposed to nuclear radiation, lasting effects can happen.' I sign. Although hand signals and sign language were generally used in battle, it was different from the common sign language and not many werewolves had the need to learn it.

'That's a point. See if you can get him to the summit. I'd like to see him myself. Leo answers.

'I can try. I don't know if he'll listen, besides... between us... and don't tell anyone, but I know he wants to use me to get to Dad, to either upset or hurt Dad...

'Don't worry, he won't succeed, besides Alejandro's going to have to realise you're not a kid anymore." Leo signs before lighting a cigarette just as we hear a door open and Skyla pulls off her facemask.

"Hey, Magic Fingers." She purrs before she disappears from view.

"Mute!" Azura snickers as we hear a moan.

"Hey there Azura." Royce's voice comes before they both reappear," Kataleya, hey how are you?" he smiles.

He's such a gentleman, and he's amazing for Skyla. Their love story was tumultuous, but in the end, they defied all odds and are happy.

"I'm well thank you," I respond with a smile that he returns.

"Good to hear. Leo." He nods at Leo, who nods back, and I realise that even Leo and Azura's love story was rough...

At that moment, as I watch the couples before me I realise that this is no big deal.

They defied all odds and went through pain to get to where they are today. Azura was marked and rejected, left pregnant and she fought for her man and now look at them...

Leo was as Skyla would put it a big d**k, until he came around and now, he treats Zu like a queen. I know Enrique is worth fighting for, and even if my fate says I will die on the Blood Moon, I don't plan to simply accept that or not do anything.

I am Kataleya Rossi and although fate has one plan for me, I will not go down without a fight. I'm dealing with this, and I know if I need them, my family will also be there for me. I will change my destiny.

We talk for a while longer before I end the call, deciding instead of sitting here I'll go see what the cook is doing in the kitchen. Perhaps I can help her out. It's better than just sitting here doing nothing.

Besides, no one brought me dessert.

I pout.

I enter the kitchen to see it bustling with five chefs. It seems I came just at the right time. Griselda, who had been standing outside my door, followed me here. Although I can tell if I tried to run, she wouldn't follow me, she still seems wary of me after what happened last time.

"Excuse me."

"What have I said about coming into the kitchen when I'm cooking?" The eldest woman says in Spanish, she doesn't need a badge for me to know that this is the eldest cook.

"Lo siento... I was hoping I could help cook?" I ask politely.

She now turns and looks me over, observing me, before she seems to click. "Ah, the Alpha's lady friend, come! Come mija! What would you like to do?"

Relieved, I quickly enter and bow slightly. "Thank you. I could help make a dish, or maybe a dessert?"

"Yes, you can start on dessert, besides Alpha loves sweet things." She chuckles, giving me a knowing look that only makes my cheeks burn.

"I thought Alpha is marrying Alpha Luis' daughter." Another woman whispers.

"Are you paid to stick your nose in the Alpha's business? No, then do your work, the bacalao won't get made by itself!" The cook scolds. "Now tell me, mija, what do you wish to make?"

I tilt my head, debating between a Puerto Rican dish or something from home... smiling, I realise exactly what I'm making.

"I think I know exactly what I'm going to make."

"Are you sure you don't want to just cook for the Alpha?"

"No, I have cooked for a lot of people before. Please don't mind me, I know where everything is." I say with a smile. She looks a little relieved and gets back to work.

"Well, you seem to know. Now don't let me go. They all like to end with dessert, so make sure you make plenty."

"I will." With that, I step out of the kitchen and begin to braid my hair back.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Griselda asks.

Nodding, I tie my hair with a piece of ribbon. "Yes, absolutely."

"Well, if you need me to help, I'm here anyway," she replies hesitantly.

"Thank you," I respond before I enter the kitchen, grabbing an apron. Putting it on, I rinse my hands, feeling excited.

There is one thing I know I am excellent at and acknowledge that I'm better than many at cooking.

I take out a few pots, as I begin to collect the ingredients for my three choices of desserts. There's still time for dinner and with the cold room, they'll be ready in no time.

And what is that saying again?

Ah yes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and that is where I will start. Because if there's one thing I can do, that is impress any man with my cooking!

And maybe he will stop being so stressed and grumpy.

I giggle at the thought before I pause. "Is it alright if we don't tell Enrique I made these until he's tasted them? I want to surprise him." I blush coyly, acting a little extra demure knowing they'll agree faster. As predicted, they all smile knowingly. "Of course!" The chef says.

"Thank you!"

Perfect, now he won't have any choice but to eat what I make for him. I touch my neck, my smile fading as I remember he still has my necklace. I'm so used to having it on... well if he doesn't give it back to me, I'll take it back myself one way or another. But for now, it's time to show him my cooking skills.

Let's get to work!
