CATHERINE. “I will forgive you for what you did last night if you come home with me,” Maddox said in complete arrogance as if I were the one who committed a crime. “I’m not asking for your forgiveness, and I’m not going to. We both know who’s at fault here. Now, let go of my face.” I said, giving him a stern look. “Or what? You will call your brother to save you?” He snorted. He didn’t let go, and I slapped his hand on my cheek before I pried his fingers away from my skin harshly. I heard Jace growl from somewhere, but I mindlinked him to let me handle this. “Just give me the rejection, and we can both move on. You can be with the female you fucked last night.” I hissed at him. “It’s a shame there were two of them, and I only needed one Luna.” My heart clenched in pain. Despite my whole mind hating him, my heart and soul were still attached to him. Purity growled in my head as anger coursed through her whole body. I felt my eyes dilate, and Maddox was not as stupid as I though

CATHERINE. The car stopped in front of the packhouse, and I saw Tyler standing on the top of the steps with a face devoid of any emotions. And then I saw my parents’ car on the side of the house. They were here as well. “Did you tell Mom?” I asked Jace. “Yes. I’m sorry, I need to let it out.” Jace said without looking at me, his hands still gripping the steering wheel tightly. “To Tyler as well?” “Yes…” “Why?” I asked in a broken voice, but I didn’t wait for his answer as I opened the door. My heart was in pain for what I did, but I could only imagine what Tyler was feeling at the moment. I had seen this coming, and I was sure he did too because we had talked about this topic many times, but I knew it would still be hard to take. I didn’t waste time and jumped out of the car, rushing to where he was. I was already halfway on my way to him when he let his guard down, and the pain flashed on his expression. His eyes watered, and the tough facade I was putting on came crumbling d

YOUNG ALPHA ALONSO. I waved at the man who drove me to the Black Shadow Pack training ground before walking to where Amara and Catherine were. It was good that one of my classmates in my last class lived around this area, so I didn’t have to drive to get here. I planned to do what I needed and shift into my wolf to return to the dormitory later. Amara called me earlier. She asked me if I could come to the training grounds and duel with Catherine using daggers. And as much as I didn’t want to go there, I was left with no choice as Amara wanted to make sure Catherine was well equipped to handle the asshole Alpha — Amara’s words, not mine — she was mated with, as Catherine would be leaving tomorrow with him. I could only imagine what Beta Tyler was feeling at the moment, and it reminded me of why Jace was so hesitant to pursue Amara before, because at the end of the day, no matter what the circumstances were, it seemed the fated mates would always have the upper hand versus a chosen

CATHERINE. “... eight, six, five,” I said the last three digits of his number, and Tyler nodded his head. His lips continued to kiss my knuckles. I was seated in our bed in his room while he was lying down, holding my hand while we waited for the right time to come out. I’d been memorizing his number and Jace’s just as a safety measure. Tyler had given me a small phone I could take with me. We decided that I would leave my mobile phone at home, as the last thing I wanted was for Maddox to access my personal stuff in case he took it from me. Memorizing Tyler’s number was not hard as I knew it by heart, but I did have challenges with Jace and the packhouse number, but in the end, I was able to memorize them. “Please be careful there.” Tyler’s eyes softened as our gazes met. I nodded, offering him a weak smile. “Before we know it, the three days are over. Just busy yourself with things to do, and don’t worry about me. I will take care of myself.” “I can’t help but worry.” “I un

CATHERINE. The closer we got to the border, the more I wanted to back out, but Purity was right. We owe it to ourselves to meet Maddox and sever ties if needed. Although she was looking forward to meeting our mate and spending time with him, Purity was affected by Tyler’s sadness, and she told me that Black was not communicating with her. I guess Black did a good job of making my wolf think twice about what she wanted. But there was no time to dwell on that at the moment, as we had arrived, and I had to face Maddox. I tried to block any emotion from showing on my face when I stepped out of the car. I didn’t want him to see that he was affecting me in a negative way. My eyes darted to the people around the border. There were far too many — not the usual men around when a guest was coming. Jace didn’t trust Maddox at all. My gaze found Grandpa David and Grandpa Theo among the men at the border. They were here to see Maddox, who was standing ten feet away from our border with fiv

CATHERINE. I’d been staring out the window for far too long before I finally decided I could not stay here and just wait for things to happen. I needed to go out of my room so I could also check the entrance and exits of this packhouse. Nadine had shown me a floor plan, and I wanted to see if I could find the panic room in case I needed to go there. As soon as I got out of my room, I headed to the stairs and to the main floor. I would explore the upper floors later when I already knew who the people living in the packhouse were. The last thing I wanted was to bump into someone who might harm me, especially when my wolf decided to ignore me again. Purity was silent in my head. She was sad when we left our packhouse but got excited when we scented Maddox, only to be disappointed because Maddox was ignoring us. I wanted to tell her, “I told you so,” to let her know I was right that Maddox was not the type of mate Tyler was, but then I chose not to. She was smart enough to figure tha

CATHERINE. “I need my luggage,” I told the Beta after Mindy left us in the kitchen. I was holding the ice pack on my cheek. “He has it. But I can ask him later. I can also ask Mindy to look for clothes you can wear in case he won’t return your luggage today.” I let out a frustrated sigh before a question came out of my lips. “Why are you staying here? Your Alpha is a monster.” “Maybe give time to get to know him. Maybe… maybe…" “Maybe, what? That maybe he will change? That the bond between us can make him a better person?” “And why did you come here?” He asked, his eyes narrowing. “I could tell that you don’t like him at all.” He replied in a hushed tone before he looked around and motioned for me to follow him. We went to the main kitchen, and the three Omegas there turned around to greet us, but Xander raised his hand, stopping them from doing so. I handed one of them the ice pack before they all just went back to what they were doing while we exited a door leading to the ba

CATHERINE. A loud gasp left my throat as I was pulled inward into the room, but before I could scream, a hand clamped over my mouth, stifling any sound from coming out of me, and by the sparks traveling in my body, my intuition was right. Maddox was here. I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing. I had to calm down, or he would not let me go. I was not mistaken. The moment I stopped wriggling my body, his hold loosened, and he let me go from his arms. I immediately spun my body to face him before I stepped back, creating a big distance between us. He was letting his aura come back up. He suppressed it earlier, which is why I was not able to feel his presence completely. “Why are you here?” I asked. “I want to talk.” “We can talk outside.” I tried to sound friendly. “No. We will talk here.” “I’m not comfortable having a man inside my room.” “I’m your mate.” “You’re still a man.” “Really? Are you telling me that you saved yourself for me?” He said this as he slowly steppe
