Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER FORTY ONE
After Lena walks out of the room, I am left with nothing but the jarring realization that I have been played despite that being all that I have tried to prevent. Strangely, I feel strongly opposed to being forced out of this castle despite my freedom being a song that I have been singing since I got here. I suppose I would just rather the choice of leaving or staying be mine. Besides, I still feel like Alden and I have so much unfinished business and I would like to see where it goes. My first thought after Lena practically threatens to throw me out of the castle is to go to Alden but I know that I cannot do that. Lena might be evil but Alden is not innocent either. Going back to him so easily and so soon would only mean that the entire scene I created in the name of standing up for myself and demanding answers was for nothing. So, I decided to go to the only other person in this castle with some power. Karken’ chambers are on the same floor as Alden’s only six doors down. To get to
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER FORTY TWO
“Now, what do you want me to do for you?” Karken asks. “I want to stay in the castle until I can be sure of what I want with Alden,” I say. Karken stays silent after that. If not for the expression on his face which tells me that he is watching me intently and analyzing what I just said, I would have assumed that he has once again lost himself in Khimaira. “You feel strongly about him, do you not?” he asks. “I’m not sure,” I say. “I think he is using some power to try to influence me.” A smile tugs at Karken’ lips that makes me wish I can fight him so I can wipe it off his face with my fist. “Alden can do no such thing,” he says, his voice taking on a degree of gentility I never thought was possible with him. “Perhaps you should start to consider that you are indeed his mate.” Now that everything is beginning to unravel, I am finally understanding Alden’s siblings for who they are and not who they have been pretending to be. While Lena seemed welcoming and friendly at first
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER FORTY THREE
Chapter Ten The door slams behind us with a loud bang but is not enough to distract us or pull me out of Alden’s hands. I do not know when exactly he did that because I have been distracted by his tongue and teeth tearing my dress off my body and drawing red marks across my neckline, but Alden has lifted me in the air with his hands on my butt and carrying me like I weigh no more than feathers. “I am going to devour you,” he says and I want to respond; beg him to devour me and leave not a tiny bit of me unexplored, but he is already taking me to unimaginable heights of pleasure that I am already losing the ability to speak so I can only manage an enthusiastic moan in response. Still in his arms, Alden leads me straight to his bed and drops me on the soft landing. Immediately our bodies are no longer touching skin to skin, I miss him and stretch my hand forward, asking for his body on mine. “You know what you are begging for, Cathy?” he asks me. His voice is a deep rumble that c
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
I swirl my tongue around him, affording myself the time and space to get used to the taste, the size and the feeling. When my tongue passes over the tip, a sweet-salty taste hits my lips that send me wild and makes me come back for more. This man’s cock is addicting and I could suck it my whole life. Alden keeps his eyes on me as I do this, his glowing eyes remaining fixed and unblinking. That cocky smirk also never leaves his face, giving his attractiveness a devilish side that I did not know he could have.“You are such a tease, Cathy,” he says to me. “You keep playing with my cock like that and you will not know what hit you when the breeding begins.”There is something in Alden’s voice. It always sets off desire and lust in me in ways that even I cannot control. The moment he mentions breeding me, I am energized and I begin to slide down on him, taking deep breaths as more and more of his lengthy shaft come into my mouth and down my throat with every oscillatory movement of my hea
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
From my collarbone, his face travels down my frame with his teeth grazing my skin. He stops right at the top of my pelvis and then he looks back at me with those beastly eyes. “You are mine now, Cathy,” he says. “And you will no longer deny that. Say it.”“I am yours,” I hear myself say. “Take me.”His tongue traces over me and I cannot help the shivers that flicker through me. Rumbles from within him hit my skin like tidal waves and spread around my body. For a fraction of a second, I worry that I might be having seizures but it feels too good to be anything bad. Spreading my legs wider, he presses forward, burying his tongue into me and causing me to squirm as he fills me. Loud and unbridled screams of pleasure leave my lips and fill the air around us. It is almost as if I want the entire castle to hear us. If he keeps going, he might bring me to orgasm, and once again, as if reading my mind, he stops.Just as I am about to ask him to keep going, Alden presses a thick finger into me
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER FORTY SIX
For several hours after my encounter with Alden, I stay in my room and refuse to leave. This is simply because I do not know how to deal with what Alden and I did and the possibility of having Lena or Karken find out. If they knew that we slept together, they would call me a hypocrite and laugh in my face. Besides, I suspect that Lena might be furious. After all, Alden and I getting back to each other’s good graces is the exact opposite of what she wants the situation to be. When Herb and Teon come to fetch me for dinner, I refuse to go, insisting that they bring my own food to me because I do not feel too well and remain stubborn until they budge. After this, I expect that Alden might come to my room to see why I did not join him and his siblings for dinner but he did not. Perhaps because he understands why I might not want to show myself and because he also knows the kind of situation that we are now in.Throughout the night, I am unable to sleep for long and extended periods. Every
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
A searing pain shoots through my arm as Lena grabs a hold of me and prevents me from walking away. I let out a loud yelp which is enough to grab the attention of the lovers in the pool and stop all their splashing. “Unhand her,” Herb says beside me, walking closer to us as though he is about to defend him. “You will stay out of this if you don’t want to lose your head,” Lena says, each word laced with venom. “Don’t forget that you are nothing but a servant.” “Let me go, Lena!” I yell at her as her hold on me tightens. She is purposefully inflicting pain on me and I am not strong enough to fight her. “Listen to me very carefully. In a few hours…” she starts to say but a loud voice interrupts her and causes her to shut her mouth with quickness. “Hey!” Karken shouts as he steps out of the pool and walks toward us completely naked. “Let her go.” “Stay out of this, Karken,” she says without looking back at him. “Let her go, Lena,” he repeats, closing in on us. “You better be a

Cathy,” he says in that deep voice that causes my insides to tremble the moment he is right in front of me. His right hand caresses my cheeks and lands on my shoulder, where he begins to trace my exposed clavicle with his finger as his head draws closer to me, breathing me in. “I’d hoped you wouldn’t have washed yet. I needed to breathe you in.”“Oh,” is all I can manage to say.Alden takes my hand and starts to lead me to the pool. He does not talk or even acknowledge the presence of anybody else as he begins to take my clothes off my body.“Alden,” I say gently, grabbing his wrist before my dress falls off my body. “Your brother and his mate are here. Your servants are here.”Alden smiles at me. “I have put my seed in you and I am certain that you are with my child. I only want us to feel each other like we did yesterday and nothing can stop me; not even their presence. Let Karken and Khimaira watch if they want to. It’s time for us to return the favor they’ve given us way too many

Cathy And The Beast EPILOGUE
Eleanor's POVEleanor stood at the edge of the path leading to her childhood home. The house looked exactly as she remembered it. It was as if time had stood still here, but Eleanor knew that everything had changed, especially her.She took a deep breath, her heart pounding heavily in her chest, each step forward feeling heavier than the last. As she approached the house, all the memories came flooding back. All those moments seemed distant now, like they belonged to another life.Eleanor hesitated at the foot of the steps leading up to the front door. Her hand trembled as she reached out. It felt surreal, standing here after everything she had been through. Would they recognize her? Would they believe the story she had to tell? She wondered if they had moved on, if they had accepted her disappearance, or if they had kept hoping for her return.She now regretted turning down Charlotte's offer to come with her, her presence would have helped her nerves. She shook her head, trying to d
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER NINETY ONE
Alden held me close as we made our way inside the castle. The walls of the castle seemed to close in around us as we rushed through the corridors, each step a struggle as I fought to keep myself together.“Just a little further,” Alden whispered, his voice steady despite the fear in his eyes. “We’re almost there.”Teon and Herb flanked us, their faces etched with concern as they helped guide me down the hall. Eleanor and Charlotte followed closely behind, whispering words of encouragement.We reached the small room just off the main hall, where a large bed had been hastily prepared. I barely registered the soft sheets and the warmth of the fire as Alden helped me onto the bed, his hands never leaving mine. The room was filled with the scent of herbs and flowers.Khimaira bustled in closely behind, her demeanor calm and composed. She took one look at me and nodded, as if she’d seen this a thousand times before. “Let’s get you comfortable,” she said gently, her hands working quickly.Th
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER NINETY
I stood at that altar, lost in Alden's eyes. The world faded away and the only thing I felt was the warmth of his hand on my cheek. But then, a mocking cough from somewhere around us pulled us back to reality. We turned our heads slightly to see Lorin standing a few feet away, a hint of amusement in his eyes. Alden, ignoring my protests, had decided that he would officiate the wedding. “Shall we begin?” Lorin asked, his voice steady, as he proceeded to stand between us. This was really happening. I took a deep breath, calming my nerves. Alden's hand dropped from my cheeks, but he didn't move away. Instead, he took my hand in his, his touch reassuring. It was as though he knew exactly how I felt and I was grateful for that. The garden was silent and it felt like the only sound I could hear was my heart pounding rapidly in my chest. As Lorin began to speak, his voice carried a solemnity that settled over us all. “This union is more than a marriage,” Lorin began, his words measured.
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE
The sun rays filtered in through the large window, casting a soft glow over the room. Charlotte and Eleanor flanked my sides, adjusting and readjusting different parts of my dress. We were gathered in front of a large mirror in the largest room in Alden's castle. I could hardly believe this day had come- my wedding day. It had been three months since the chaos with Lachlan and Lena. Three months since we returned home and had settled into a peaceful routine. But even with the calm, I still found it hard not to look over my shoulders. The weight of the past months still clung heavily to me. “I can't believe it's really happening,” I say gently, almost to myself. “I'm getting married in a few hours.”Charlotte, who had been focused on arranging my hair in the right bun, paused and smiled at me gently. “Neither can I,” she admitted, her voice soft but steady. “It all still feels like a really long dream.”We both turned our attention to Eleanor, who was fussing with the lace of my gown
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT
Cathy's POV Lachlan's fortress was a hive of activity as we prepared to leave. The halls which were once cold and silent, buzzed with the clatter and murmur of voices. It felt strange indeed. Alden had wanted some time for me to recover fully before we left. His arm was wrapped firmly around me, supporting me as we walked through the halls. This place had been home to me for weeks now, but I had never freely walked these halls. We were waiting for the final preparations before leaving, and in the meantime, Alden had called for a meeting with Lorin. We were the last to arrive, as Karken, Eleanor and Charlotte sat around a large polished table in the hall. Lorin, dressed in black robes, stood afar off. The air was thick with tension and I could sense that the moment was heavy with unspoken weight. “Lorin,” Alden began, his face set determinedly. “I believe you have honored our agreement.”Lorin inclined his head in agreement, stepping out of the shadows. “Indeed,” He took another wa
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN
Lorin's departure left a heavy silence in the air. There was a wave of unanswered questions running through my mind and I could not shake my feeling of unease. I was happy to be conscious and reunited with the ones I loved dearly. However, given the events of the last couple weeks, I couldn't be comfortable in my happiness. Paranoia. That was the word. I was expecting something ominous to happen, some bad news or enemy to pop up out of nowhere. Alden returned to my side, his face etched with a mixture of relief and something else i couldn't quite decipher. He took my hand in his once again and I felt a tremor run through me. His presence beside me was a reassuring comfort. Perhaps I was overthinking. Perhaps all I needed was just answers. Maybe, just maybe, our happily ever after had come. “What happened?” I rasped, looking intently at him. “How are you here? Where's Lachlan?” I did not mean for the questions to tumble out in a rush, but I was overwhelmed. Alden squeezed my hand, h
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX
Cathy's POVI hear chaos in my surroundings from my unconscious state. The clatter pulling me back to reality from a dream I was having about me and Alden and our baby. It was a girl. A beautiful chubby little girl running around the garden to our delight. It was a dream I did not want to wake up from. There was a sudden burst of white light and I could feel warmth radiating through my body. The garden and Alden and the child had all vanished and I was left standing alone surrounded by nothing. I stood confused in this state for a moment before hearing a faint voice calling my name. The voice was unmistakably Charlotte's. My eyelids flutter open, the harsh light of the room making me squint. My head throbbed with a dull ache. I try to adjust my vision to my surroundings, the events of my last moments before passing out come flooding back. Panic claw at me as I remember our failed escape attempt. Eleanor. What had happened to her?As my vision unblurs itself fully, I am in utter shoc
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE
The journey north was long and filled with tension. Every rustle of the leaves sent a jolt of panic through Alden, reminding him that they could all be walking into a trap. But he pushed on, fueled by the need to reach Cathy. Finally, they reached the northern fortress. The sun was setting, its rays casting long skeletal shadows on the fortress gates. There was an unsettling quiet in the air as they trooped in through the gates. There were no guards patrolling the gates. It was as though they had heard of Lachlan's defeat and had deserted the fortress. Lorin, seemingly unfazed by the atmosphere, led them through the fortress gates and into the castle. No one spoke, the only sound was the echo of their footsteps on the cold stone floor. It was clear that they were all feeling the weight of the tension that hung heavy in the air. They finally reached a large chamber at the end of a long passageway. Lorin pushed the heavy door of the chamber, letting them all in. The air inside was
Cathy And The Beast CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR
Alden stared at Lorin, his mind reeling. The sorcerer's words had caused a heavy silence to hang in the air. His actions were no doubt justifiable but they had only his word to support his claims. “Enough about ancient grudges, Beast King,” Lorin rasped, regaining his composure. “I believe you have more pressing concerns.” He added, staring intently at Alden, his yellow eyes gleaming in the torchlit meeting hall. “The whereabouts of your queen, no doubt?”Alden's ears perked up as he shifted in his seat. His gaze flickered to Charlotte, whose knuckles had turned white as she firmly gripped her seat.“She lives,” Lorin said, his voice taking on a strange sympathy. “For now.”Charlotte gasped, her grip tightening on the chair. The words “for now” dripped with an ominous weight. “What do you mean ‘for now?” She demanded, her eyes widening. Lorin finally shifted his gaze from Alden to her, a flicker of something akin to pity crossing his face. “Her life is…in grave danger.” He said slow
