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

CATHERINE. I lifted my arm and saw that red marks began forming as the pain intensified. My jaw tightened as I gritted my teeth before they chattered when another pain shot right through my chest, making my body move voluntarily, and I fell to the ground. It was painful like my chest was being ripped apart, but I refused to cry. I swear, I would make him pay for every bit of pain he gave me. I knew there was no remedy for this. Grandmother Jessica told me that she endured this pain for over a year before my grandfather finally decided to man up and choose the female he wanted to be with. This was still a sensitive topic in the family, but for some reason, I found myself asking her about it when I was sixteen. She said she would take sedatives to fall asleep, but most of the time, she would bear it on her own until she just became numb. But aside from not having access to sedatives at the moment, my body was also reacting badly to them, so that was why they didn’t sedate me during

CATHERINE. I woke up because of soft knocks at my door, and my heart immediately hammered in my chest as everything that happened in the last 24 hours sank in. My eyes flew to the window, and I could see that the sun was already out. ‘We made it to the morning, Purity.’ I told my wolf. ‘Yes, we did. But the game is not yet over.’ ‘I know, but I feel safer in daylight than at night.’ I said as I shoved the blanket off my body and stood up because the knock kept coming. “Who’s there?” I asked as I stood in the middle of the room. “It’s me, Lady Catherine.” “Are you…” “Yes, I am alone.” She answered before I could finish. “Please let me in before he sees me.” For some reason, I didn’t feel any hesitation to trust her today, but for safety, I grabbed one dagger. I trust Mindy, but not Maddox. I opened the door slightly, my eyes roaming around the corridor, and when I saw no one except her, I opened it completely and let her in. “How did you know I was here?” I asked as I closed

CATHERINE. I haven’t encountered any of Maddox’s pack members except the Omegas at the packhouse, so I had no idea what I would be facing. The Beta wanted me to go somewhere and hide until the training was over, but Purity and I agreed to face it head-on. I knew Maddox was pure evil, but a part of me wanted to believe that the people in this pack were part of the family my forefathers governed, and based on how proud Grandpa David would talk about them, I knew most of them loved the Montrell. And I hoped they would remember that before they attacked me. It was already past ten in the morning when I decided to go down and head for the training area. I knew no one among the people I saw along the way, and although they were looking at me weirdly as if scrutinizing me, I kept my head up and kept walking. “Finally, you showed up.” Maddox’s voice rang in the quadrangle, and all heads turned in my direction as I walked toward the makeshift arena where they stood. “Of all things, I hate

CATHERINE. “I love you too, Jace,” I said it back with a wide smile on my face before I slowly put down the receiver. The moment it clicked, my lips quivered as my hands coiled into fists. I just lied to my brother and plunged myself deeper into Maddox’s hell. *FLASHBACK 30 MINUTES EARLIER.* After the training with his Ace warriors, Maddox took Daisy and me to a warehouse where some of his illegal weapons were stored. I had no idea this place existed or why he showed it to me, except that I thought he wanted me to know what he was capable of doing. Grenades and guns of different calibers were there, as well as high-class explosives that I had never seen in my whole life. Daisy was enamored with them, but it worried me. But I didn’t have time to think about it or ask him about it because he already had another thing in mind by the time we left his warehouse. He took us directly back to the packhouse. It was already past lunchtime when we came home, but instead of eating lunch, h

CATHERINE.“Drink.” He growled. I growled back before I grabbed his forearm, sinking my fangs into his wrist, hoping I would hit his pulse. But then, for shifters, it takes more than just hitting the pulse for him to drop dead, especially if he’s an Alpha. The taste of his blood, his scents, and the sparks between us were spreading tingles between my thighs, but I knew where my heart and my head were. “Enough.” He chuckled as he pulled his hand away.I already felt a connection snap within me, and I took the opportunity to throw my head back and moan with my eyes closed, letting him think I enjoyed his repulsive blood as I mindlinked his Beta.‘Beta Xander, Luna Catherine here. Come inside the Alpha’s office. Don’t knock. Just come in.’I disconnected and blocked off my mind before I opened my eyes. I knew Xander was nearby, but it was up to him whether he could help me or not.Maddox smiled as his knuckles brushed against my cheek, and I stepped closer to him just in time when the

ALPHA JACE. “Something is wrong. It’s Catherine, but it’s not Catherine.” I said this as soon as I heard the phone click on the other side. “I was about to say that,” Amara said as she walked from the window to my desk. I pushed my chair back, and she slipped on the space between me and my desk, anchoring her ass on the table as she stood in front of me. “Catherine will never break up with Tyler this way. She would find a way to talk to him and explain.” “But it felt like she was avoiding having Tyler on the phone so she wouldn’t break from the act she was putting on.” “I can’t believe she just fucking told me this over the phone and not face-to-face.” I sighed and leaned forward, leaning my forehead on Amara’s belly. Her hands ran over my hair as she spoke. “We need to find Tyler. He was upset when he left.” I tried to open a mindlink with Tyler, but his mind was totally shut off. I could only imagine the thoughts in his head. I stood up and took Amara’s hand before gently pu

CATHERINE. “I don’t want you here. You better leave.” Maddox’s voice reached my ears as I neared the dining room. “But Mom wants to...” A female replied, but she was not able to finish her words as Maddox intercepted them. “I don’t fucking care!” He roared, and my heart thundered loudly. They were arguing, probably because she was not supposed to be in the packhouse. “Can you calm down, please?” The female said. Her voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t pinpoint where I heard it. But the moment I turned to enter the room, I found the answer I was looking for. The female sitting at the dining table with Maddox was the same female that haunted my nightmares for over a year. And she was back to haunt me more. Zoey. My brows raised when Zoey’s gaze met mine. I had no idea if I was upset she was with Maddox, or because she was somehow linked to Tyler, and for some reason, it didn’t seem right that she was with Maddox. “What are you doing here?” Maddox’s voice snapped me from thro
