TYLER. “Hike up your dress, sugar lips…” She nodded and did as she was told, letting her blue gown pool around her waist while my hand left her pussy to unbuckle my pants. My cock was already rock-hard, and even without foreplay, Catherine was already soaking wet. I knew this was not the right place, but I had thrown all the rationality away the moment she asked me to fuck her. Because, as always, there was no way I could ever say no to her. She could fire my cock in an instant, even without trying hard. I parted her ass cheeks while she bent forward, biting her bottom lip, as we kept staring at each other in the mirror. “I love you, Tyler…” She said sweetly, only to surprise me with her next words. “I’ve been a bad girl, making our guests wait. So please fuck me like I deserve.” “Oh, fuck yes!” A growl reverberated from my chest at her words. Without warning, I slammed my throbbing cock into her tight pussy, making her body jolt and her lips part as a sultry moan escaped her
PURITY. (picks up on the night of Maddox’s rejection) The moment Beta Xander turned his back on us, I took over and shifted while Catherine stayed at the back of my mind. I was already tired, and I could feel my energy draining away. The run from the packhouse to the border alone was exhausting, and the pain of rejection and banishing made me too weak. But I can’t give up now. I brought us here, and I would get us out of here even if it meant only one of us would make it out alive. ‘Faster, Purity!’ Catherine cheered me on, and I knew that despite the pain she was enduring, she was doing her best to give me positive energy. I shut down my walls so she wouldn’t know my body was failing me already. I kept stumbling, but I kept pushing myself up. The moment we hit the neutral ground, some of the pain vanished as we were outside the territory that banished us, but still, I wasn’t getting better. I kept getting weaker. I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to go and leav
PURITY. “Enough, Eros….” A female appeared out of thin air, and the space around her sparkled, making my jaw drop. She was so beautiful, like nothing I had ever seen, and the elegance yet gentleness in her features was calming my senses. “My child… Come here” She laid out her hand, and I felt like I was hypnotized. I pushed myself off the ground and walked toward her, still in awe of her presence. She motioned for me to sit beside her, and I hesitated, unsure if I was allowed to. Selene’s hand caressed my fur, and all the uncertainties of not being worthy to sit beside her flew away. “Are you taking me back to the moon?” I asked in a soft voice. “Not yet. I still need you here.” “I don’t understand.” “Catherine is not yet in a place where I want her to be.” “Are you giving her more suffering? Isn’t it enough that she has suffered a lot already? Have mercy on her, Selene…” “I wish I could stop now. But there are things I cannot tell yet. But I want you to trust me, Purity, a
PURITY.The moment I felt her presence, I stood up immediately. Lately, Selene has been visiting me often, telling me how near I am to returning home to Catherine. I had no idea what she was waiting for, but I woke up looking at my already white-colored fur today. It had changed tremendously. Gone was the cream color that looked like my mother, Rain, replaced by pure white, as pure as my name. “Selene!” I might have a goofy smile on my face because she giggled softly as she approached me. “Someone is excited to see me.”“I am always excited to see you! This place is too lonely.”“Don’t worry, soon you’ll be out here.”“When?” I tried again, although I already knew she would never say the exact time or day.“In an hour.”My eyes watered as excitement brewed inside my chest. “Are you really returning me to my human?”“I told you I would return you to Catherine. Didn’t you believe that?”“I did, but a part of me didn’t want to expect it because it would only hurt more.”“I’m sorry, my
CATHERINE. I was still on a high from my shifting and my conversation with Purity. I was glad that, despite him being excited as well, Tyler just let me focus on my wolf. And Black as well. He just made his presence known to her and his happiness, but he didn’t push for more conversation as Purity was busy with me. Me and my wolf, despite the tears between us, couldn’t stop talking about the things she missed while she was gone and her experiences in between realms. I knew we had more catching up to do, but we were both ready to face our family and friends and to focus on our mate tonight. Purity wanted Black as much as Black wanted her, and I couldn’t be more happy to give them time alone. Our wolves deserved that. I watched as Tyler opened the double doors of the bathroom while Purity followed him, only for our eyes to widen in surprise upon seeing the crowd waiting for us. Either they all followed us the moment I ran away, or my father had announced Purity had come out. But i
CATHERINE. The males went out to the forest for a game of hunting, as it was the start of autumn and the hunting season in the human world had just begun. I, on the other hand, was in Amara’s office. We just ended a video call with Lexi as we notified her of the furniture that arrived these past few days for the big nursery that we renovated. It was the same nursery that Jace, Tyler, and Austin used when they were babies and the same one I had, but I was there alone during my time. There were three rooms and a big receiving room that served as the play area. Each room was painted according to the parents’ preferences. David and Lexi would be arriving in a few days, and we wanted it to be ready, so David and Colton could use them together. While Amara and Lexi’s pups get to stay with them most of the nights, the idea of a nursery was still very welcome for the much-needed alone time between couples, although Lexi said she didn’t need that. But aside from that, it would also be a
TYLER. Catherine and Amara discussed their conversation with Alpha Lucas over dinner, and everyone got emotional. Although Dad Jake wanted to personally file his candidacy for Council head, Dad and Uncle Aaron warned him that they would tackle him down if he attempted to leave the territory. They knew Dad would do as he pleased, but Uncle Lucas was right — it was better to keep him safe from Alpha Grant’s wrath than regret things later on, especially since it was already out in the open that Alpha Grant never played fair with everything. In the end, he agreed to stay home, as Mom Clair said, if he chose to go, she’d be coming with him, and if they faced danger, then at least they would suffer or die together. It was the wake-up call he needed to hear to finally agree to stay within the territory until Alpha Grant was in custody. Catherine also explained that the other Alphas would file on his behalf, so he didn’t need to worry about it. Usually, if the current head stepped down,
Seven Months after the Beta Union. CATHERINE. My body stirred awake at the sound of an approaching car. I had no idea that I had fallen asleep because I’d been waiting for Tyler and my brother to come home. I was glad I left the window open so I could hear them. My lashes fluttered before I was finally able to open my eyes and stare blankly at the dark ceiling while my heart continuously thudded loudly. My mind was still in a daze, but by impulse, I shoved my blanket off my body and rose to my feet. I made my way to the window, wanting to be sure if it was them that came home. I drew the curtains to peer down at the packhouse ground and saw Jace’s car and another one behind him. They were back. I closed my eyes because this moment felt like something I had experienced. Did I have deja vu? My heart thundered as I swallowed hard, trying to remember a particular memory from my head, but I couldn’t pinpoint what it was. No, it can’t be. What was happening? The second car
