“Katie, your mission is to steal the eye of the sea.” He ordered and paced around the room, pointing his finger at me. Coming closer to me, he stopped and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. “This is an order, understand. I will accept no failures whatsoever. Do you understand?” He spat as he tighten his grip on me. He looked directly at me with those cold icy blue eyes.

“I un-understand Nathan,” I choked, gasping for air. He finally smiled, letting go of me as my body dropped to the floor. I immediately put my hands on my throat, making sure nothing was bleeding, or broken.

“Good,” he patted my head and went back to his seat upstairs in his private jet. Shivering, I hugged myself for warmth. Tears streamed down my cheeks, silently. I hated that man. He killed my entire family three years ago. I closed my eyes, recollecting my memories that day.

*Flashback*

The doorbell rang, followed up with repeating loud knock on the door. My mom was in the kitchen baking brownies while my dad was outside playing football with my younger brother, Josh. My dad heard the doorbell rang from the backyard so he decided to walk to the front yard to greet our guest. Suddenly, there was a gunshot. My mom face changed to horror as she ran to the backyard to pick up my 6 year old brother and she motioned her hand towards the basement.

“Katie, whatever you hear, do not come out. Our neighbors should have heard the gunshot and they are calling the police over here. Hide in the closet, and be quiet.” She whispered very rapidly and desperately in my ear as she handed Josh to me.

Before I can say anything in response, she pushed me into the basement. I quickly walked downstairs and into the closet. Josh immediately started crying. “Where’s mommy?” He asked me. I quickly shushed him and patted him on the back to quiet him down. Then another gunshot was heard echoing throughout the neighborhood. I hold Josh more closely to me.

What’s happening? Is anyone hurt? Those thoughts clouded my head as I heard a creek from the door to the basement. I covered Josh mouth quickly as tears dripped from my face. The footsteps got closer and closer until it stopped right in front of the closet where we were hiding in. I prayed that, that person won’t open the door. But the door opened and a gun was pointing at, I cried for my life. Tears clogged my vision from seeing anymore but I covered Josh up with my body. Josh started to scream and cry.

“So you are Kathleen and Max’s children…” My vision cleared up, and I saw a guy that looked like his was in 40’s. The guy had sleek messy gray hair, and crystal cold blue eyes. He was wearing a business suit but blood stains were covered on it. He grinned, “It’s very nice to see the children of the man who betrayed me, and his own gang.” He then sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “But your father was a chicken, he ran away with the woman who I actually brought and married her. And looky here they had kids. I wonder what should I do with you guys know.”

He picked me up by my hair. Josh started to scream and cry more loudly. I screeched as he looked straight into my eyes. “I killed your father and mother for betraying me but I’m awfully too nice to kill innocent children, nonetheless who didn’t betray me in anyway.” He let me go and I scrambled back to Josh and hold me.

“Who a-are y-you?” I stammered. Every part of my body was trembling.

The guy chuckled, “Why my name is Nathan Charles, the guy who’s the proudly known gang boss of true blood city. This was the gang that your father betrayed, and ran away from.” I inched closer to the door, trying to run but he frowned when he saw me doing so. He stomped his foot right in front of me to stop me from going anyway.

“I have two options for you, you either join my gang as a little spy or I will have to kill you and your brother sadly.” He looked down at me, crossing his arms. “Don’t worry about your brother; I won’t do anything to him if you become a loyal member in True Blood City.” He smiled.

“Why do you want me for a spy?” I asked, without any emotion in my voice. My eyes were swollen as tears kept pouring out of my eyes. I looked at my brother who was stilling crying and screaming his lungs out.

“Well I heard you are very good in sports and you’re very agile since you won first place in your school’s marathon.” He smiled.

I recall my mom’s words that the police will be here soon. I held onto those words, hoping they will happen. He then looked like he was deep in thought in something but shook his head. “If you’re thinking the police will come, think again. I got them a bit….busy at the moment.” He laughed. My jaw dropped as my eyes widen in horror as I realize what this man is capable of. I gulped.

“So what’s your answer?” He asked, moving his finger along his gun.

I nodded as I muttered, “yes.”

“Smart girl,” He put away his gun while he was laughing. I only gave him a hard cold glare.

*End of Flashback*

I swear I will get my revenge one day. I got up quietly then I noticed Josh was by my side. “Katie, what happen?” He asked, worry was in his eyes.

“Just got another job,” I replied weakly.

He nodded his head lightly, “Is that why we’re going to Nash?” He titled his head a bit.

I ruffled his hair, “Yep, so what do you want to do now?” I flashed him my best smile, trying not to worry him in any way.

He eyed me suspiciously but shrugged it off, “Can we play a Wii game?” He excitedly questioned me.

“Sure,” I answered. He jumped up and down and went to get the Wii ready. I looked out at the window, staring at the white clouds. It’s been a while since I have been to Nash. I know what the big secret there is; the Russo Family is a bunch of werewolves. They used to be human till one of their ancestor pissed off some witches and they turned the entire Russo’s bloodline into werewolves.

The only reason why I know was because my dad and Tristan was good old pals and he trusted my dad that much to tell him. I remember the day when I saw Micah’s shifted right in front of my eyes. I was shocked, surprised yet sad for all the pain he was going through. He was my first love. He probably hates me now though for not telling him I was moving to Atlanta. But the Russo family is the only people who I can turn to now. I mean they are all mighty werewolves.

*************************************************************************************************************

I quickly got out my laser spray ionization and sprayed a bit in my surroundings, detecting the lasers beams from every end. I looked over to the blue jewel as I moved as quietly and as quickly as possible. Three years ago, I would have failed at this horribly but Nathan wanted to me to undergo special training to be train in this. The first lesson I had, I broke my arm. Yeah not so pretty, isn’t it? But now I am a master at this there will be no mistakes at all.

“This is too easy,” I snorted. But I spoke too soon as I tripped and my body passed through one of the red lights. Alarms rang throughout the museum. “Great,” I rolled my eyes, I quickly tried to get out of there but the police was already there with guns pointing at me. If this was the 14 year old me, I would have screamed and cried my eyes out but I am not the same girl anymore. They don’t scare me at all.

“Katie?” One of the police officers stepped right in front of me with the gun down. I instantly recognize him.

“Hey Tristan, long time no see,” I waved while he stared at me in shock.

Then someone else came in, he had light brown hair with hazel eyes. He was about the same age as me. He had a pretty nice figure. He looked familiar but his eyes scanned the room as if he was looking for something important. Then his eyes landed at me, “Katie…” He said in shock, rubbing his eyes. When he looked up again, his eyes turned pitch black, “Mate...” He growled. Then I realized it was Micah.

~Micah Russo~

I was in the car, driving with him to go buy some groceries for my mom. How lame is that? A 17 year old spending his Friday night doing this. But then the police needed my dad to catch a thief, so right now I’m sitting in the car. My dad warned me that if I even stepped one foot out in the car, he will take my car away and I don’t want him touching my fusion hybrid.

But I got bored, and went inside of the museum. There was no way a human could hurt a werewolf like me. Then I founded my dad looking surprised at something or someone. I followed his gaze, and I nearly choked. “Katie…” I mumbled. She changed a lot over the past three years. She has light brown hair with pretty dark brown eyes. Her hair was in a tight ponytail. She gotten so slim from the last time I last her.

Three years ago, she was marked missing along with Josh. Her parents were found dead in their front yard. The police tried to find Katie and Josh but had no luck. So after one year of searching they gave up on the case. When my dad told me, my wolf cried in pain. My heart shattered into pieces, when I found out she was missing. After a while of moping, my wolf took over and I didn’t even try to take control of it. My dad had to shift and tackled me. He calmed me down saying, they will find her. It took a while but he did it.

Every day of the past three years, I would forget everything by making out with other girls. I mean yeah I did have intense make out sessions but I didn’t have sex with them. My wolf didn’t allow it, he would always complain about every single girl.

Breaking my thoughts I looked at her beautiful figure. How is she even here? Why is she here? I didn’t care at all and my wolf howled in joy for my mate’s return. ‘See I told you she was okay,’ my wolf mocked me.

‘Yeah, right when you find out what happen three years ago, you cried like a baby.’ I snapped back at him. My wolf used that moment to take control of me, “Mate…” He and I growled in unison.

~Katie Nelson~

My jaw dropped, “Mate?!” I asked shockingly. I tried to process this in my head, mates as in werewolf mate. As in the one who’s the one who will be the wolf together and forever. I ran my hands through my hair. I was in a panic mode, how could I be his mate?! I mean I did like him but now was not the best time for this

Tristan interrupted all my thoughts, “Unfortunately, we need to take you to the station for questions.” He sighed, then in a millisecond he was next to me, handcuffing me. Then dragging me off to his car, but then I heard a low rumble growl coming from Micah. I could tell he was not happy by how his dad treated me but this was better than Nathan’s treatment. So I just went along with it, but this was my chance if they take me to the station then I will reveal everything to them. Nathan will be arrested for his crimes but I will make sure for the rest of his life, he stays behind bars. It would even be better if he just die and go to hell.

“Katie!” I heard someone’s husky voice called my name. When I turned around to see who it was, it was Micah catching up with me and Tristan as we made our way to his car. He gave me a wolfish grin before hugging me. I let him hugged me, I felt electric shocks flowing throughout my body. My cheeks turned bright red. I was about to pushed him away but he pulled back a bit and crashed his lips into mine. I felt as if my lips were on fire. My eyes widen in shock

I pulled away quickly and hurt flashed upon Micah’s face. I wiped my lips. Tristan suddenly laughed, making me jump a little. “Oh my god, this is exactly what happen when I meet your mother.” His face turned red from laughing so hard. The other officers around is confused by Tristan actions. I rolled my eyes and quickly got in the car but I was followed in by Micah.

“Katie, I’m so sorry. It’s just that I couldn’t help myself.” Micah apologized as he tried to come within eye contact with me but I shook my head away from him.

He was about to say something but he was interrupted by Tristan as he came barreling to the driver seat, starting up the car. “We will be at the station in 10 minutes,” Tristan looked in his rear view mirror to make sure everything was fine. I gave him a nod in response then we drove off. I avoid all Micah’s glances since I don’t want him to see me right now since I’m blushing really bad. I could feel Micah looking at me but I pretended I didn’t. I’m not getting a relationship till Nathan is gone and everything is okay again.

~Micah Russo~

‘Ah, go kiss our mate again, will ya?’ My wolf asked me in pleasure filled his entire voice.

‘I would but not when we are stuck in the back of a police car, and I think she’s either embarrassed, or mad. But I think she’s embarrassed,’ I concluded.

‘She will probably look cute as a teddy bear,’ my wolf sighed, ‘But we will get to see more of it soon.’

I gaged, ‘Ew pervert,’ I snorted.

‘I know you’re thinking of it, too,’ he snapped. I said nothing in return.

I spotted a man that was in 40’s standing outside the Police station. He had gray hair, and that was all I could tell since he was wearing a long black coat and a suit underneath. But I smell some of Katie’s scent on him. I gritted my teeth and I could feel my canines growing. But I held them back. My dad cussed under his breath and quickly got out. When I looked over to Katie, she looked terrified. She looked so fragile that if I touch her right now she will disappear. She shuddered when she saw that man.

“No, why is he even here?” Her voice cracked.

“What’s wrong?” I put my arm around her.

“This is not going according to my plan.” She ran her hand in her hair, not listening to a single word I just said. “If h-he..” She trailed off and her hands trembled.

I hugged her, “Katie, please tell me who is that man so I can help you.” She looked up to my face a bit. “That’s the man who ordered me to become his spy, to do his dirty work. And he’s the one who killed my mom and dad.” My wolf instantly wanted to go out and killed that man. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my dad walking up to him. I so wanted to tear that guy up to shreds but I had to calm Katie down..

Her eyes got a bit watery but she retained them back. I caressed her cheek a bit and kissed her hand. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” I said softly.

‘Since we will kill that man,’ my wolf snarled. Then she quickly wiped away her tears and got off of the car angrily.

“It’s over! I win!” She yelled at the man.

The man quickly laughed like she just said the funniest thing that was said on earth. My dad quickly backed away from the man with his gun at hand. “No ever though you’re with the Russo’s you can’t beat me since I have your brother. He pulled out a small kid with brown blondish hair. Katie gasped, and I recognized that boy in an instant. That was Josh, Katie’s little brother. Then the guy pulled up a gun and directed right at Josh’s head.

“Don’t do it Nathan!” Katie started crying and begging him to stop while my wolf wanted out.

~Katie Nelson~

I started crying as the gun was pointed to my brother. If I lose him then I would have nothing else to live for. He can’t die. He’s only one who can’t die in this world. He’s the only other family I have. Then I heard a low growl, when I looked over to Micah. He already shifted into his midnight color wolf. His black fur glistened in the moonlight.

“Micah…” I mumbled. His wolf glanced at me for a second before launching himself on Nathan who looked more shock and surprise than everyone. Josh was quickly let go of.

“HELP! GET THE THING OFF OF ME!” Nathan struggled to get Micah off of him, but Micah got his arms pinned down. His gun was kicked across the parking lot, and it was just a couple of feet away from me.

Josh back away slowly before running to me. He started crying a little, and I patted his head. “Everything is going to be fine, just fine.” I assured him.

“Micah, get off of that man.” Tristan demanded. Micah snarled at his father but his father gave him a stern hard glare. “Now!” Tristan spat and Micah backed away slowly but he made sure Nathan was within eyesight.

Nathan crawled away from Micah terrified, “M-Monster,” He stuttered. Micah growled at him, making him whimpered.

I laughed which got everyone’s stare directed at me. I got up quickly and Josh looked at me like I have gone insane. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Micah moving to the woods with clothes in his mouth. That didn’t matter right now since I have other stuff to do now. “The guy who killed my parents, crying like a baby,” I laughed so hard that I hit my thighs. “This is really good.” I walked over to the gun, and bend down to pick it up.

I stopped laughing, “But I will get my revenge for my parents’ death.” I pointed the gun at him, ready to pull the trigger. I heard Tristan and Josh pleading me to stop but I didn’t listen to them. My head was clouded with revenge. If I kill him then I will be able to avenge my parents.

I was about to pull the trigger but then Micah slapped the gun out of my hands. “Don’t do it,” He whispered in my ears.

“Why did you do that?” I glared at him.

“I don’t want your hands being dirty because of that man. “ He held my hands while tracing down the tear that came down my cheek. Then realization hit me, I’m crying. “You don’t deserve to get your hands dirty.” He looked at me with direct eye contact.

“No!” I screamed, “I have to do this for my parents.”

“Your parents wouldn’t want this would they?” Micah said softly.

I nodded my head silently. He’s right; I started to remember every single memory I have of my parents. “Yes they wouldn’t,” I agreed with him.

Then I spotted Nathan trying to escape but Tristan blocked him and handcuffed him. He looked over to us and gave us a thumb ups. Now everything in my life is complete, Nathan will be where he deserves to be. I looked over to Micah hugged me, “Now everything in your life is going to be perfect from now on.” I tried to hold my tears back but they just came out.

*3 months later*

~Micah Russo~

Nathan Charles is now locked up behind bars, and Katie and her brother are currently living in my grandpa’s house or I would like to call it mansion. I had time before going to Biology so I looked around for Katie. I found Katie at her locker. A smirk formed on my face as I walked over to. Putting my hand over her waist, I whispered the words, “I love you,” in her ear.

She turned her head back to glance at me with her pretty eyes. “Well if it isn’t Micah,” She smiled.

“What no confession from you,” I arched my eyebrows, waiting for her response.

She laughed, “Well mister werewolf, try to catch me.” She grinned as she leaned in to give me a peck on the lips. Then she moved away, walking to her next class.

“Oh I love a good chase,” My wolf and I said simultaneously.
