-----------------------CHAPTER 1------------------------

(Katerina's POV)

I was beyond speechless. This just shows how serious Kol is about everything. He wanted us to get married?

My heart was tearing apart as tears began to roll down my eyes once more.

What about Kaden? I swear I had already started having feelings for him. Genuine feelings. I wanted to be with Kaden, wanted to marry him. And yet, Kol is on his knees, proposing to me. This whole situation was driving me crazy and after some serious thoughts, I realized I had to make a bizzare decision.

Kaden excused himself from our midst, seemingly depressed at what he had witnessed. I wanted to go with him and abandon Kol once again, but he got hold of my left arm and turned me to look at him, still down on his knees. "Forgive me Katerina. Please. I keep hating myself everyday and my conscience hurts me a lot for all I did to you. If you refuse me now, I am not certain if I can continue to live with all these pains in my heart because I've been unable to forgive myself, since you haven't forgiven me totally" Kol says with teary eyes. His eyes were bloodshot red and blurry with tears. I couldn't help but sob a little as I let my own tears stream down freely from my eyes. We were just there, alone with two choices. It was either I push him away and run far away from his reach, never to be seen by him again. Or, I forgive him and decide to give him another chance.

"Accept!" My wolf howls in my head, bouncing from paw to paw. I wasn't sure I could ever trust him even if I decided to accept him back and say yes to his marriage proposal.

"Get up Kol, I've forgiven you. But, I need time to think about this proposal of yours. Please give me a little time to cool down my head.". I told him softly. He stood up, a wide grin on his face as he initiated a hug and I wrapped myself in his arm to confirm I meant my words.

He was so happy. But was I? My heart had already fallen for Kaden and there was no way I was going to abandon him for Kol, my prodigal mate.

*********

The next day, I was with Kaden. And even before I confessed my love for him and my desire to be with him forever, he broke the silence by asking me to be with him as well.

"I want your love. Please give me a chance to show you? If you're giving your mate a chance, why not give me a chance too?" Kaden begs, taking my face in his hands, bringing me nose to nose. " I don't know how I'd cope without you in my life. Be mine, please?"

My heart is beating double time, my cheeks flushed, my temperature spiking and my hands shaking.

"Oh Kaden!" I whisper, throwing myself onto his lap.

His arms wrap around me, holding me to his chest as my lips find his.

I finally get to kiss him properly and much longer this time.

He's holding me. He's never once held me this way.

I give up my submissive stance and wind my fingers into his hair, holding him close as I straddle him on the bed.

My tongue pushes its way into his succulent mouth, entwining my tongue with his passionately.

I am rewarded with a sexy growl, his sound vibrating through my body.

As our lips part, he moves his lips to my cheek, jaw, neck... Shoulder. "Take control Kat. I'm yours. Show me what you want!" He whispers.

I feel my self control evaporate, my hands sliding under his tight black t-shirt, running my fingers over his well defined stomach and up to his smooth sexy chest.

My lips part, my breathing coming out erratically as I feel pleasure spike through my body, arousal filling the room.

He growls, licking across my shoulder and up to my lips, before taking my mouth in his, kissing me roughly.

I grab his shoulders lowering him down on to the bed. "If you want me to take control, I will!" I say, biting my lip seductively.

"Oh please, baby!" Kaden breathes.

I am just pulling up his t-shirt, when the door to the room opens sharply, a growl and an incredible scent fills the room.

Everything goes crazy!

**********

Oh God!, just remembering last night makes me cringe.

Watching as Kaden and Kol had a full on punch up right there in the pack house.

It took four guys on each side to restrain them both.

They both want me and I'm so confused. Neither of them would let me talk!

My head is all foggy, so many questions and ideas filling my head.

I'm now laid up in bed. A weeks' sick leave to recover from my idiotic self inflicted accident and come to terms with all this new information.

My head hurts, throbbing and healing from that bloody mirror. I feel drowsy from the strong pain killers.

I want a bath but refuse to have one while I'm this drowsed. I will not put myself at risk.

Just rolling over on my side, I'm slowly drifting off to sleep. The doorbell sounds loudly, making me cringe.

I whimper, and sigh. "Who is it?" I ask softly as I head out of my room and down the hallway.

"It's Kaden! Let me in, baby."

I smile and unlock the door, looking up into his eyes. "Hi! What's up?" I ask. "Did I do something?" He looks confused. "No of course not! I wanted to see how you were... maybe finish where we left off?"

I smirk. "That can be arranged but I want a bath first. I've had my pain killers so don't feel safe bathing."

At that, Kaden grabs my legs, throwing me up into a bridal hold, making me squeal before heading into my bathroom.

After sitting me on my stool in the bathroom, he rolls up the sleeves of his shirt and begins to run the bath.

I just sit and watch him. This incredibly gorgeous man makes me feel special and incredibly turned on 90% of the time I'm with him. The only sucky thing is, it feels like I'm cheating when I'm with him. I guess it's because I haven't accepted or rejected Kol yet. I just know he's there.

Within 5 minutes, the bath is full. Bubbles overflowing and a sensual smell of the bath oil aroma. Jasmine and vanilla musk filling the room.

Kaden helps me to strip out of my clothes. He does the same, joining me in the bath.

The water is enticingly hot. It's relaxing and soothing to my strained and stressed body.

~*~

I am laid on my sofa with the TV on. Kaden has just left, letting me rest.

Some mindless program is on, but I'm not concentrating. I'm zoning out, thinking about my current predicament.

Kaden, my new found love, my current best friend. He is my confidant, my lover and the only person on this planet I actually trust.

Or

Kol, my soul mate. A man that has rejected me before, now wanting to have me forever.

Talk about conflict? As I lay there that night in bed, I couldn't help but think about Kol, my mate.

I was so confused.

How could I even choose between him and Kaden without knowing his true intentions?

Just at that moment, my bedroom window squeaked open, causing me to scream in panic.

What the hell?

I see a clothed leg slip in, then another. Then a flexible body, a toned chest. Arms, shoulders, neck and a head.

I am greeted by my mate.

My wolf howls excitedly, bouncing around in my head.

I jump off the bed, unsure of what I should be doing.

I was drawn to him like a strong magnetic pull, but I felt as though I'd be betraying Kaden.

Why the hell am I so conflicted?

"Oh, hello Kol." I whisper, unsure of what else to say.

I am greeted with a mouth watering, sexy grin. "Kat. How are you?"

I swallow. "I'm ok. You?" I ask shyly.

I watch as he stalks towards me, my stomach doing somersaults at the prospect of him being close to me.

His hand slowly slips onto my waist and he pulls me close to him. Our bodies touching intimately, especially with the fact that I am wearing nothing but a large t-shirt just about covering my modesty.

He skims his nose towards mine.

"Kiss me Kat. Now." He murmurs, his warm sweet breath enveloping me.
