Story

Catherine Volos lay in bed, one arm was thrown over her face as the morning light began to shine through the windows. 'Wait,' she thought to herself with a groan. 'Why are the shades open?' Her son was currently staying in Moscow with his grandmother for the weekend. She had absolutely been planning to take advantage of the small reprieve, but obviously her husband had other plans. Only he would dare open all the blinds without her permission.

Letting out a soft curse, the blonde pushed herself up and stretched her back and shoulders before blinking. Her phone lay on the side table, the screen lit up with three new texts from Hunter.

"What do you want?" She muttered to herself, reaching for the device slowly.

'Catherine, I needed to take care of some things at our property in Yekaterinburg before our event begins next weekend. I have a new horse that should be arriving today. I need you to offload him and let him get a feel for Cypress Hill.’

Rolling her eyes, she shook her head. "He sabotaged my morning for this?"

Her finger swiped down to the next message, a sigh escaping her. "Of course the horse is to be trained under me..." she kept scrolling. A chuckle almost escaped her when the final text indicated that the coffee drip was set up and that he'd repent for the ruined early morning once he returned.

Catherine looked over at the clock before pushing herself up fully. Her riding clothes were already set out, a habit she had gotten into a few years back, and she quickly dressed and put a dash of makeup on. There was no reason to get dolled up if the new horse was to be a nutcase like most of the horses her husband brought back to the stable.

She glanced at her phone once more, eyeing the weather before she grabbed a beanie from one of the drawers and a light windbreaker.

Upon making her way down Volos Manor's large staircase, a grin flitted across her lips as one of the stablehands nodded from the doorway, a familiar-looking to-go mug in their hands.

"You're the best," she laughed softly, taking a sip of the sweet sustenance as her friend fell into step beside her. "Before you say anything, I know Hunter asked for this to be made instead of setting it up himself."

Maya laughed as well, shaking her head as she sipped at her own coffee. "So, this doesn't actually count in his favor?"

"Not a chance," Catherine grinned before glancing down at the second text once more. "Hmm, looks like we're headed.... to the main guest entrance."

The two glanced over at the changing leaves and hints of snow gracing the tops of the Urals before Cat sighed softly. "Sometimes, I miss England..."

"But then you have to deal with the cesspit that is London... nature is so much better," Maya ducked as the blonde playfully swiped at her.

"Come on, I think I see the horse bus from here."

Catherine and Maya both nodded to the main security guard before slipping through the gates and around the monstrous transport.

"I thought Mr. Volos said there was only one horse," Maya grunted, shaking her head as Cat laughed in response. "You know he likes to flex with all those toys of his."

Now caffeinated, the young Britain-transplant found herself more and more curious... if not eager, to see their newest addition.

"Maxim," she greeted her brother as he hopped out of the human quarters and made his way over to the side ramp to unlatch it and grab the beast from within.

Both young women glanced at each other as a shrill cry emanated from within the bus. "Oh dear... I hope he's not like Boss," Maya chuckled.

Catherine shrugged slightly before her blue eyes widened almost comically as Maxim led the stunning young chestnut stallion off of the transport. Handing over the lead, he also withdrew his iPad to show her the paperwork regarding lineage, ownership, etc.

"Fuck," she chuckled to herself, shaking her head in amusement. "Hunter always outdoes himself."

She stepped back with the Zlesdin, watching as he pranced around her in a tight circle before throwing his head up high to observe his new kingdom.

A sudden crashing sound broke the relative peace around the small group, and both Maxim and Maya took off towards the private grounds. Cat gripped harder at her new mount, her focus solely on keeping his attention on her and not on any potential trouble in his new home.

After a few tense moments, a sigh escaped the blonde as Viggo stopped pacing around her, head simply held high as her phone buzzed in her back pocket.

Reaching for it, she quickly read the message before a loud curse escaped her...

“Charon is loose...”

Welp... that’s all you want to hear right before hosting a big show, right??
