"N...nothing... I... I just want to go back home," she was persistent."And I'm asking why, baby?" He was trying to be gentle to her."I d...don't want to stay here," she whispered, looking anywhere but at him."Why do you want to leave? Adriel will be here in the early morning. It's not safe in the city yet you want to go back. Why?" He asked straightforwardly and she gulped feeling as if she was put under the spotlight.Catherine was tongue-tied, she didn't know what to say anymore. She was so frustrated and tired of everything. Yet she didn't have it in her to tell him what she felt or what was going through her mind.She slowly tried to get out of the bed and he came to her side instantly. "Where are you going?" He asked, holding her hand while his other hand was on her waist."Restroom," She mumbled and he helped her all the way there. Though she could walk on her own, she didn't complain. There was so much going in her mind to think about such a small act from his side.Once ins
"Here," He handed her medicines and a glass of water as she swallowed the pills and thanked him. Rasmus sat back on the couch beside her and there was an awkward silence between them. "So I'm your chosen mate now?" She asked. "Yes," He said. It felt weird to him that she knows everything about his world. "Why did you mark me?" She asked sharply and he was taken off-guard by the tone of her voice. "You didn't want to be marked by me?" He asked in a calm voice but his heart was beating fast. "I asked you, why did you mark me?" The cold stiffness in her voice was like a sharp dagger straight to his heart. She had never talked to him like this ever. So what happened? Why was she so cold? "Baby," He whispered as he gently squeezed her hand but she pulled it away from his hold and looked down while putting a lock of hair behind her ear. "You didn't want me to mark you?" He asked that question yet again. His heart was beating fast and he was afraid of what she would say. "Yes, what
Rasmus went to the terrace as he breathed in profoundly, combing his fingers through his hair. He couldn't believe what was going through her head. Why would she want to go away from him? Where did he go wrong?It was understandable that she wasn't in her proper senses right now, who would be? After going through such things. He was glad she was alive and safe, he would make sure to avenge her but she thinks he wants her as a rebound.He didn't even hear someone approaching when all of a sudden a huge frame appeared on his side. He instantly recognized the person without even looking at him. It was Hunter.Hunter was excellent at being invisible whenever he wants and terrorizing someone by appearing out of nowhere. He was always good with his footsteps that even werewolves couldn't hear him coming if not for his scent that gives him away."Why are you here?" Hunter asked casually as he leaned against the railing and stared above at the vast inky sky splattered with sparkling stars."A
Catherine woke up groggily to the smell of delicious coffee. She was alone in the bed but the other side of the bed wasn't neat which meant he slept with her. Her eyes darted towards the bedside table where the mug of coffee was placed.But there was something else with the mug as well. A small note and a beautiful blooming rose. She picked up the rose and smelled it. Instantly a soft smile fluttered on her lips. She unfolded the note and read the content in it.Dear Cath,I'm sorry for arguing with you last night. I should've talked to you patiently but I didn't. Please accept this rose as my apology. I've made coffee for you, extra-strong just the way you like it.Yours,RASMUS.She read the note thrice and couldn't stop the smile that adorned her lips. Grabbing the mug she took a sip of it and her taste buds were in heaven. It was delicious. She couldn't help but think how he noticed the tiniest details that she liked her coffee strong.She was sipping her coffee while thinking abo
"You look beautiful," Aurora chirped and Catherine smiled at the girl."Thank you for making me look beautiful," Catherine said and Aurora shook her head. "I seriously did nothing, I barely know much makeup, you showered, and then I helped you with the dress. I did nothing, you're naturally beautiful Catherine." Aurora complimented her and Cath's cheeks tinted red and she looked down feeling shy."I'm glad you found my brother. I won't ever be able to thank you enough for bringing Rasmus back to who he used to be," Aurora said and Catherine stared at her silently."I didn't do anything," She mumbled."It may seem to you that you did nothing but you did what no one was able to do. You brought him back to life and to be honest you are such a kind person that it makes me super duper happy that you're a part of our family now," Aurora said in her soft voice.Though she was talking a lot, her voice was soft and delicate. She was talking slowly, each word coming out gentle. Aurora was an ep
Emma pulled her in a hug and Catherine was just needing that. The girl hugged the woman in a tight embrace with her unwounded hand. Catherine couldn't stop the tears as they flowed down her cheeks and Emma rubbed her back gently, her own eyes tearing up. She was so proud of her son for choosing such a strong girl as his chosen mate. Emma wished and prayed that all the happiness comes to these two.Emma pulled back as she cupped Catherine's cheeks and wiped her tears away as she smiled at her. Catherine grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it and Emma smiled at her gently. It was obvious that the poor soul was deprived of parental love.Emma cupped both of her cheeks and then she kissed her forehead. "I'm so proud of you, my daughter. You are my strong warrior," Emma said with so much admiration and it was like that was the only thing Emma needed as her strong spirit started to return slowly and she could feel it in herself.The restroom door opened and Aurora poked her head outside
Catherine watched him dumbfounded. So? It was all his plan to bring her here. Aurora was so normal in the beginning. She was escorting her to him all this time.Cool. Nice plan. But she won't admit it. After everything, they both needed to talk. There was so much that needed to be solved between them but doing it here in this amazing place, it felt wrong to such a scenery.She stood there quietly shifting her weight from one foot to another.Her heartbeat quickened as he started to approach her. She didn't know why but she hid the rose behind her back. What would he think about her? Last night she just fought with him and right now she was roaming around while holding the flower he left her."Come," He said as he placed his big palm on the small of her back and she controlled the shudder that ran down her spine at his simple touch. It was the mate bond. The sparks. Those small currents she felt at his slightest touches were the sparks."Did you like it?" He asked while looking at the
Her eyes widened slightly at his thick voice and she trembled in his embrace. He moved back to look at her and the sight in front of him was magnificent. She was breathing heavily. Her cheeks were a shade of red, the bruises on her face had faded away by the morning and her glowing skin was coming back. Her eyes fluttered open and he was hit hard straight on the chest as he gazed at her sparkling big eyes that were full of life. His eyes lingered down to her swollen cherry lips and the urge to kiss her again was strong. He couldn't stop himself as he guided two of his fingers to her chin and his thumb softly rubbed her lower lip. "We'll talk later," He grumbled as he stood on his knees towering over her, and slowly started to hover over her. She silently started to lay back down and the next second Rasmus was on top of her. With his hands on either side of her neck on the ground to keep his weight up, he stared down at her. "Let me make you forget everything," He rasped and she co
5 months later. "Baby, what can I do, please tell me." Rasmus's soft voice was heard but Cath only glared at him. "I don't know. I'm just angry. Stop looking at me. No... bring me ice cream. No... I don't even know what I'm craving. This is scary that I don't even know what I want. Why are you staring at me? I look like a fat potato. Oh my God... I'm not beautiful anymore..." She was blabbering nonstop. A soft smile graced his lips as he watched her quietly. She woke up in the middle of the night saying she wanted his attention and now she was talking nonstop. She has been like this for the past few months. His mom said that these were the pregnancy perks or something of that sort. He didn't complain. "You are even more beautiful now." He mused and her jaw slacked, eyes watering up. She was also being too emotional these days. "Stop it..." She says dramatically while swaying her hand. "I need ice cream," She muttered. "Just five minutes, baby." He said as he walked out of the r
Every one of the pack members was gathered in the hall. Rasmus was right beside his sister. Xander and Emma stood to her left. Cath, Hunter, Angela, Luca, Clarke, Reid, Davis, Adriel, Agatha, all of them were there except Silvia, she had left right after Catherine's wedding. She left without even saying goodbye, just leaving a note behind for Clarke and Reid not to worry about her and nor to look for her.Davis brought the cake and Cath along with Angela set the candlelights.Aurora was smiling shyly. Angela and Cath had lifted her mood after her talk with Luca."Make a wish," Angela chirped as Luca glared at her. Feeling his gaze on her she glanced at him and scrunched her nose while poking out her tongue at him.He rolled his eyes at her tactics.Aurora closed her eyes as she wished to have the most caring and loving man as her mate. She opened her eyes and blew out the candles. Grabbing the knife she cut the cake as everyone cheered and wished her happy birthday.She fed the cake t
She clutched his shoulders as he moved inside her.She noticed that he was looking down where they were connected and her stomach tightened. He growled when she pulled at his hair and yanked him down for a kiss. She kissed him passionately and his pace fastened. Just when she was about to come he pulled out of her.She whined as he moved out of the bed but she shrieked when he turned her around with his arm on her waist and she found herself on her fours. He grabbed her ass before slamming into her hard. She arched her back as he slapped her ass cheek and pounded in her hard."So f*cking beautiful," He growled as his veiny hand roamed her back. She tensed when he caressed her scars. "Beautiful," He rasped as he grabbed her hair in a fist and yanked her up, his hand wrapped around her throat as she turned her neck to kiss him.One of his hands squeezed her bosom while his other hand barely constricted her air supplies as he pounded in her hard."I..I'm..." She was mewling when he pull
No matter how many times Rasmus tried to snatch Catherine away from everyone but the poor man was unable to get the chance alone with his wife. His sisters were with Cath like her second skin and not to forget Quinn and Avery. All the girls were hell-bent on keeping Cath away and making Rasmus all grumpy and needy.The celebrations were still going on in full swing. The night approached but no one seemed tired. They were dancing, chatting, and enjoying dinner.Silvia was sitting quietly on the couch when Agatha came to sit beside her."So what do you think?" Agatha asked and the girl breathed in deeply. "I'll be leaving tomorrow for the training," she said and Agatha smiled. "Excellent, you have the powers of ancient witches. You are far stronger than you think. This training would help you control your magic and you'll learn many things," Agatha said as Silvia nodded her head."Your husband is dying to have you. Jeez. Just look at how pissed he looks." Avery mused as she nudged Cath
"I'm talking to you?" Hunter growled lowly as he grabbed her elbow and turned her around rather roughly. Silvia had walked away from the backyard, there were so many people, and the visions she was having since the past few days had affected her severely. She needed to get her thoughts together.Whatever she saw in her visions. She couldn't afford to let it happen. Silvia has to make up her mind soon."Why the f*ck are you ignoring me, witch?" He sneered in low menace causing her to flinch back as she tried to get her elbow free from his brutal hold but it seemed impossible."Y..you a..are hurting me..." She whispered trying to free her arm but Hunter wasn't having it.He dragged her along with him into one of the guestrooms and closed the door shut with such force that it rattled badly. The next thing he pushed her against that same door placing one of his hands on the side of her head as he glared down at her."Listen here and listen well" He started. His voice was cold as ice as hi
Xander walked into the room where Catherine was standing silently. "You look stunning," He complimented, and her cheeks tinted red. "Thank you," She smiled politely at the man. Though Rasmus was intimidating, Mr. Colt was on another level. At this age, he still looks so young and fit. Surely girls would swoon over him if he ever went to her university. She couldn't wait to see Avery's reaction when she would see Rasmus's dad. Just last week they announced their pregnancy to everyone and it was Emma who planned this small cozy wedding for Catherine. As the only human being in this pack. She knew the importance of marriage for a human. As for werewolves, their kind of marriage was when they mark and claim their mate but now if one of them was human, then marriage was a must. Catherine was in tears when Emma announced their marriage and Rasmus was the happiest as he took her shopping on the same day. But they didn't go alone. Davis and four other men came along with them in anoth
"Angela I want your brother right now," Emma demanded curtly and Angela sighed in exaggeration."I'm looking for him, mom," Angela said as she left again to look for Hunter for the third time in a day. It was like he was hiding away purposely.It was understandable that he didn't like weddings and all but seriously. The man was hiding away so he didn't have to be a groomsman. The perks of that man.Even Luca was all grumpy and irritated as he did the last checkups.Almost all of the pack was present in the backyard waiting for the ceremony to begin."Where's Rasmus?" Emma asked aghast as she looked at Aurora who shrugged her shoulders awkwardly.Catherine was checking out her dress, making sure that everything was perfect and she had worn everything that she had shopped for her wedding.The door opened and then it closed. "Clarke, can you please adjust the flow of the tail, please," Cath said loudly and she heard Clarke approaching.Catherine was fully drowned in adjusting her dress f
"I'm alive because of you three," Catherine said softly as she gazed at those who had saved her life despite being her kidnappers."We were done with Alonso. He was on a rampage of destruction. We aren't killers," Reid said seriously as Luca, Hunter, and Rasmus gazed at the guy. The three of them had taken him to the training barracks where he showed his fighting skills, and to be honest, the three of them were immensely impressed and that wasn't it, they would also get to learn new tricks and ways how Alonso's men fight. Reid would be a great help to them and their warriors and that wasn't it. Even his mate Clarke was a skilled fighter as well as a Doctor.Silvia on the other hand was a silent, timid type of girl. It was said that she could have a vision of the future, one of the powers she has being a witch. Rasmus had asked the three of them if they wanted to stay and be a part of the moon pack and they agreed despite Hunter's disapproval.Somehow Hunter didn't have any problem wi
He kissed her slowly and it soon deepened as he kissed her hard enough to stake his claim on her.She was shuddering in his arms as he continued to kiss her, snatching her soul out of her body and he finally broke the kiss when she punched at his shoulders. Indicating him to let her breathe.She panted heavily as the kiss ended with a sloppy sound. With her heart drumming in her ears she finally opened her eyes to look at him.He was breathing heavily as well. She watched as he lay beside her and he placed his face in the crook of her neck laying kisses on her neck.She caressed his arm that draped around her waist as she tried to calm her erratically beating heart down. "Am I dreaming?" She asked in a small whisper and Rasmus smiled."We are at my favorite place and I just made crazy love to you, I loved every bit of it and I confessed my feelings for you," He rasped and her heart, which was calming down slightly, started to beat at a wild pace."You l...love me?" She asked in a whis
