Catherine was sitting at the same spot. He has offered to tend her wounds but she just asked him to leave her alone. He silently stood up, placed the first aid kit near her, and left the room, giving her much-needed space.
Her mind was raking with gazillions of thoughts per minute. Everything was ruined now. What will she say to Adriel? How will she save her brother now?
Richard would turn the world upside down to look for them and once he'll capture her, she wasn't even sure if he would let her live. Her body trembled as she recalled all his warnings. He was always the one who did exactly what he say and if he catch her now. He will make her beg for death. Rasmus shouldn't have come.
The door opened and Rasmus peered down at her. She didn't know how much time passed but he was back to check on her.
"You'll get an infection." He said curtly.
Catherine silently stood up with the help of the wall behind. Her legs were rigid and numb for sitting in th
"If you think I would let you go back to that f**ker. Then you are thinking wrong." Rasmus said curtly. Why was he behaving so protective over her? If it was someone else at her place, he would've helped that person the same way he was helping her. He gave himself this explanation. "It doesn't matter. He will find us sooner or later." She said calmly. Her calmness was making him feel weird. The fact that she was calm and taking everything in so bravely makes him wonder for how long she was bearing all that f**king torture. "I will not let him take you guys," Rasmus said adamantly. "He is rich. He has links. He has been pulling an amazing facade of Mr. Nice guy by doing charity events and whatnot. No one would believe any
Catherine held her breath as her eyes darted to look around for a weapon. She was still looking for anything she could use against him. She directly assumed that this man was a burglar or something and she instantly went into fight and flight mode. Screaming for Rasmus was appealing but the huge build of the man told her he would crush her before her scream could even end. "My, my, what a sight in this ugly place." A deep voice husked and her eyes shot straight to meet with jade green ones and she tensed up. The guy was now facing her as he lazily leaned against the slab. She was taken off-guard by his looks. He appears to be a complete replica of Rasmus. His height and build were the same, massive, and impressive as Ras
"Catherine." He shrieked in horror as he palmed his forehead. Like what mommy does when she finds her kid doing something ridiculous."Where are we?" He asked in exaggeration as he hopped off the bed and strolled towards her, looking around the room with wide eyes."What happened to your face?" He asked, shocked, his eyes widening. She looked away. She didn't have any makeup here to cover up her bruises."I uh... I fell. It was pretty bad, thank God, my teeth are intact." She said the last part comically to make it look normal."Catherine. Where are we? Where's dad? What's happening?" He bombarded her with questions.She took a deep breath. She walked further in and sat down on the edge of the bed with much difficulty.
"I don't understand." She said in a small voice.Rasmus paused his work and turned to look at her. "We are leaving in a few minutes." He said again."I don't think it's a right decision to take her there," Hunter spoke for the first time since he came out of Rasmus's room.Both of them stared at each other, it was as if they were talking through their eyes, their expressions raw and serious. "It's the safest," Rasmus said after an elongated pause."Just say and I will," Hunter growled slowly and her brows shot up at his sudden rage."No," Rasmus said curtly as he shook his head."I... don't think I could leave the city, Adriel's doctor is here, his treatment..." She was saying whe
They were back on the road and he was just driving nonstop. She continued to steal glances at him once in a while.It was in the evening when he pulled inside the gas station, he got them snacks from the convenience store. Adriel thanked him as both the siblings dug in the food, they both were hungry and tired but Catherine was in so much freaking pain. She has been sitting like a board for hours, her back was burning in pain.She offered biscuits to Rasmus, as he was driving and wasn't eating. His eyes met hers and he instantly looked away, grabbed two, and crunched on them.That was awkward.She munched on it quietly.Rasmus couldn't help but wonder why she was so quiet. It was like he was kind of used to her nonstop banter
"Son." Xander had a smile on his face as he patted his son on the shoulders in a manly way. Rasmus gave him a tight smile as Xander moved back and sat on the couch.Hunter was casually leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared down. One foot in front of the other.Rasmus grabbed the chair from the desk and sat on it facing Xander."I'm glad you're back," Xander said in his rich voice, feeling genuinely happy to see his son after such a long time."I'll leave when the issue gets resolved." He said.Xander nodded his head, he might have felt bad when Rasmus said that but he didn't show it on his face.
Catherine woke up feeling weary. She couldn't sleep most of the night and when she fell asleep she woke up in a cold sweat, then she just couldn't fall asleep.She took a shower and wore the same clothes of his that she had been wearing since yesterday. There was no first aid box or ointment here and the skin of her back was so stretched that it was painful.Catherine descended the stairs as she padded to Adriel's room to check on him, he was fast asleep, her eyes darted towards the door beside Adriel's having the urge to check if he was there but she didn't, she ambled to the kitchen. It was early dawn and she had this feeling that Rasmus didn't return last night, she peeked towards the main door, and yup, his boots were there under the bench beside the main door. He did return last night. A smile graced her lips.
"F**k." Rasmus cussed.Catherine stared when a girl sauntered into the house. She could be barely 12 or 13, as she walked further in. Her jet black hair was in a shoulder-length bob cut giving her a cute look, adorable, she has forest green eyes and thick lashes, wait...Black hair, green eyes...By any chance..."Angela, what are you doing here?" Rasmus asked as he stood straight now facing the girl. She just grinned at him."Oh, I'm not alone, big brother." Angela mused as she winked at him.A second later a beautiful girl waddled inside, she also had jet black hair but her eyes were ocean blu
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
