Chapter 20

Katarina's POV

“Did you send the invitation?”

“Yes, I did, Alpha.”

“And the preparations? How are they going? Make sure to welcome them with an amenity.” Augustus said, and Avi nodded, lowering his head a bit; he bowed.

I watched, fists clenched, heart beating louder, fingers tightening around the shawl he had me wrapped in. His thick, lean fingers clasped in front, eyes staring at me now and then. He was busy, but I was still on his mind.

Augustus was a caring lover; possessiveness was just his way of making me feel that he liked me. The moment we came back from Virginia, he had himself incarcerated around me. Taking care of me, giving me herbs that James said would make the poisoning less uncomfortable, feeding me meals, forcing me to rest, even though my heart was restless.
