~ Chapter Seventeen - Part 1 ~

The following day, Katalina woke up to her phone ringing. She groaned in annoyance as she turned over and snatched it off the table. “What do you want?” She grumbled in annoyance.
A man cleared his throat on the other end of the phone. “Um. I’m sorry. My name is Ryder. Michael said that this was the phone number for Katalina, the wolf from the prophecy,” he said in uncertainty.
Katalina sighed as she ran a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry. I am Katalina. I’m just not a morning person,” she said apologetically. “How can I help you?” she asked.
Ryder sighed. “Michael said that if I had any concerns or uncertainties about joining you, I should talk to you personally,” he explained.
“Of course,” Katalina said softly. “What types of concerns do you have?”
“My family,” Ryder said softly. “I don’t want anything to happen to them. But, if I join you, I’m sure Atlas won’t hesitate to harm them to get to me,” he explained.
“Of course,” Katalina said as she lay on her back. “I understand your concern. What we can do is this,” she said softly. “I have a warlock friend. He’s mighty. Your family can choose a place they’d be comfortable in until this war ends. He can easily teleport them there, so there’s no trail, and then he can cast protection spells on them and the home they chose. I promise you that they will be safe.”
Ryder sighed in relief. “Thank you so much, Katalina.”
Katalina let a small smile slip onto her lips. “Of course. Is there anything else bothering you?” She asked gently.
“No, that was the only thing,” Ryder said.
Katalina’s smile widened. “Alright then, Ryder. Call me whenever your family is ready, and I’ll have Benjamin teleport to you. Or you can bring them here with you, and he can teleport them to safety from here,” she explained.
“Thank you so much, Katalina,” Ryder said gratefully.
“No worries, Ryder. We’ll see you soon.”
They hung up, and Katalina set her phone back down on the nightstand. She turned over to see Damien watching her in awe. “I’m sorry if I woke you,” she whispered as she turned to face him.
Damien shook his head. “Don’t worry about it, dove,” he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her on top of him. “You’re an amazing woman. You know that right?” He asked as he pressed light kisses to her neck.
Katalina blushed and looked down into his eyes. “I think you may be a little biased,” she whispered as she brushed her lips lightly over his.
Damien chuckled as he rolled them over. He hovered over Katalina, putting most of his weight on his forearms, and gently moved her hair out of her face. “I knew it from the very first moment that I saw you. I’m not biased at all. Simply stating a fact,” he said with a grin.
Katalina rolled her eyes before sighing. “We have to get things started today,” she started.
Damien cut her off with a firm kiss on her lips. “We can worry about that in a few minutes,” he murmured before kissing her again.
Katalina moaned as she pressed her body into his and wrapped herself around him. They had their naked bodies pressed firmly together. He kissed down to her mark, and her eyes went wide as he sucked, licked, and nibbled at it.
Damien chuckled as her arms and legs tightened around him, bringing his hardened erection to the entrance of her feminine channel. Katalina let out a breathy moan as she swirled her hips, causing his tip to tease the juncture between her legs slightly. He groaned as he pulled away from her neck and looked into her eyes. “Ready for more already, little dove?” He asked with a smirk.
Katalina blushed but nodded as she bit her bottom lip. Damien let a wicked grin slip onto his lips as he fully slid into her. She moaned as he started sliding in and out of her faster and harder. Her nails drug down his back, leaving harsh red marks all over his body. His hips pistoned in and out of her, sending him closer to a climax of his own.
Katalina let out a loud cry as she bit down on his mark. She saw stars behind her eyes as she climaxed and dug her nails into his shoulders.
Damien grunted as he let the pain and pleasure course through his body, bringing him to a fantastic climax of his own.
As they both came down from their high, he leaned his forehead against hers. “Looks like my little dove has claws,” he said breathlessly with a smile.
Katalina blushed as she squeezed her eyes shut. “I’m sorry beloved.”
Damien shook his head and pressed a firm kiss to her lips. “Don’t be sorry, dove.”
Katalina opened her eyes and gave him a bright smile. Damien leaned down and kissed her lips. She let out a soft sigh of contentment as she kissed him back. Their little makeout session was interrupted by someone knocking on their front door. “Are you fucking serious right now?” Damien groaned out as he looked towards their door.
Katalina giggled as she let her head fall back on the pillows. “Who could be knocking on our door this early?” She questioned as she looked into his eyes.
Damien sighed in annoyance. “Could be anyone,” There was another knock at the door. Damien growled lowly as he pressed his forehead against hers.
Katalina laughed as she stroked his back lightly. “I can get it, love,” she said softly.
Damien let out a grunt as he lifted his head. “No, I’ll get it. You stay here and relax,” he carefully got up before walking to the closet. He threw on a pair of shorts before going to the bedroom door. He pinned her with a playful glare. “Don’t you dare move from that spot,” he smirked. "I'm not finished with you yet."
Katalina giggled as Damien went downstairs to answer the door.
Damien grumbled to himself as he made his way to the front door. When he reached the door, he yanked it open and glared at Sebastian. “What do you want?” He demanded as he rubbed a hand over his face.
Sebastian chuckled. “Am I interrupting something?” He questioned with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
Damien let out a warning growl as he folded his arms over his chest. “Just tell me why you’re banging on my door so early in the morning.”
Sebastian held his hands up in surrender with a wide smile. “I just thought I’d come by so we can get started on everything else we need to do to prepare for this war.”
Damien groaned as he tapped his head against the side of the door. “You’re right,” he sighed heavily. “Come in. We’ll meet you in my office,” he said as he closed the door.
“Make sure you don’t take too long,” Sebastian called out teasingly.
Damien flipped him off as he made his way upstairs. He walked into his room to find his bed empty. Then, before Damien could panic, he heard the shower. He sighed as he entered the bathroom and joined Katalina in the shower. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her snugly against his body. He pressed his fully hardened erection into her butt as he pressed firm kisses to her neck. “You have no idea what you do to me, my little dove,” he said into her ear.
Katalina let out a breathy little moan as she leaned into him. “Oh, I think I have a pretty good idea,” she said as she wiggled against him.
Damien tightened his hold on her as he started nibbling on her neck. “If you don’t stop that, we’re going to get dirty again,” he whispered against her neck.
Katalina smirked as she wiggled against him again. “That’s the point,” she said in a breathy voice.
Damien smirked as he pressed her against the tiled wall. He gently pushed her down so she could bend over in front of him. He let his hands travel down her back before sliding his hand between her legs and rubbing her clit. Katalina let out a breathy moan as she pushed against his hand, wanting more friction. Damien chuckled as he guided his erection into her wet entrance. They both let out loud moans as he slipped into her until he was fully seated inside.
Damien kissed the back of her neck as he bent her over further. He grabbed her hair and wrapped it around his fist. He stood up straight and started pounding into her from behind. Katalina moaned and cried out loudly as she met him stroke for stroke. She clawed at the wall before her, quickly reaching her climax.
Damien picked up his pace, and his thrusts became more powerful, chasing his climax along with Katalina. He continued thrusting into her for a few minutes, going hard and deep with each stroke until they both reached their climax.
Damien groaned as he slowly pulled out of her. He helped her stand up straight and held her close. He pressed kisses all over her face as she caught her breath. “I am never going to get tired of being with you,” Katalina whispered against his chest.
Damien chuckled. “Trust me, dove. I feel the same way,” he said before pressing a light kiss to her lips.
Katalina smiled as she started washing him up. “So, who was at the door?” she asked after a minute.
“Oh,” Damien said as he narrowed his eyes in irritation. “It was Sebastian.”
Katalina giggled as she grabbed the shampoo for his hair. “What did he want?” She asked as she had him bend down just a bit so she could rub the shampoo into his hair.
Damien sighed. “He wanted to go over our plan for the war,” he clicked his tongue. “Or at least start making a plan.”
“He’s right, you know?” Katalina said with a small smile. “We do need to start planning things out.”
Damien groaned. “I know, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy spending time away from my little dove.”
Katalina giggled some more as she started washing her own body. “I don’t enjoy it either, but we have a lot of work to do.”
Damien groaned as he pulled her into his body and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. “This sucks,” he grumbled.
Katalina laughed as she pulled away from him to wash her hair. “Let’s just get everything started, and then we can have some time alone,” she rinsed her hair before wrapping her arms around Damien’s waist. “We have to take the little moments when we can, my beloved,” she whispered. “Because until this is over, that is all we have.”
Damien held her tightly before kissing her forehead and reaching behind her to turn the water off. “I suppose you’re right about that,” he muttered with a frown.
Katalina pressed a kiss to his chest, right above his heart. “Hopefully, this war will fly by and be over soon.”
Damien hummed in agreement as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her. Then, he held a towel for himself and followed her into the closet. “After we’ve finished speaking with Sebastian, we’ll start with your training,” Damien said to her with a smile.
Katalina grinned. “Okay, my love.”
