Just one for now, as I was busy this weekend. I'll try to update more later (at midnight if I can), but if not, then it'll be tomorrow. Thank you for your patience, lovelies! My kids will be back in school in 10 days, and then I will have more time to write again. I hope you all had a great weekend! 💜 Thank you for all the gems and comments 💜
TYLER. After I spent time with Austin and Jace, I headed up to the guest room where they were and knocked. I waited a while before the door opened and revealed Catherine, who was already beaming at me. “Hey, you…” She greeted me. I leaned my arm on the door frame and towered over her. “Can I sweep you away from here?” “No!” I heard them from the back, and Catherine giggled along with them. “Don’t mind them. Their authority doesn’t extend into our personal space, so take me away, lover boy.” She teased me, winking at me. I licked my lips before lifting her off the ground and throwing her on my shoulder, eliciting a gasp from her. When she was secured nicely on my shoulder, I turned my attention to the females inside the room and gave them a salute before nodding my head in respect, to which they replied by motioning their hands, shooing us away. I didn’t waste any more time and walked toward the stairs. “Wait, I want to sleep in your room, not mine!” She wriggled, but I held he
CATHERINE. After two orgasms, Tyler released his own. I was still reeling from the feeling of being sensually made love to, and I thought after this, we would rest and sleep. I was wrong. My eyes were still closed, and I was still trying to catch my breath when I felt my body hoisted up from the mattress. I was flipped over, and his strong arms guided me on all fours before he positioned my hands on the headboard. “Do you think you can keep up with me, sugar lips?” His voice came out so husky that my still-wet pussy began leaking again. I nodded. I licked my lips and gripped the headboard tightly as I hiked up my ass, touching his hard cock. “Fuck me…” I moaned. Even if my arms and knees were already trembling, I wanted this more than anything in the world at this moment. “Oh, Goddess!” I whimpered loudly when he slapped my ass before his hands parted my cheeks, and he positioned himself behind me, his cock pressing onto my wet folds. And without warning, Tyler thrust into m
CATHERINE. I waved at our whole family before Tyler sped up on his driving as we left the packhouse ground. All of this felt surreal. Me being alone with Tyler. Just the two of us. Aside from the time we spent in Grandpa’s home when he picked me up before Amara’s Luna Ceremony, there was never a moment where Tyler and I were alone for more than a day. I guess that came with living in a packhouse — everyone is family, and everyone is always around. Not that I was complaining, but I also wanted to experience life with just the two of us, with no eyes looking and us just letting loose. Ever since I understood that I was crushing on Tyler, I already have a picture of me being the perfect housewife, like how I see Mom with Dad. She had to work as a Luna of the pack, but from time to time, she would make sure she would prepare dinner, especially for him, and Dad would do the same. Despite having the whole pack on their shoulders, they did their best to have a normal husband-and-wife
CATHERINE. I didn’t know how much I needed this time away until I got to this moment. I knew I could rest with my whole family and friends around me, but I wanted Tyler alone while I was still trying to take Maddox off my senses. With just the two of us, I was able to tell him everything about Maddox. Tyler and I spent nights talking about my experiences in that packhouse. I cried while I told him about every pain Maddox caused me — the physical and the emotional ones. I cried for the trauma he caused Daisy and for Purity when I thought she would give up her pureness to just any wolf to save us. I cried when I told him how much I missed him and how he was the only one that kept me and Purity fighting to get out of there alive. I cried, and Tyler was not embarrassed to cry with me. And these moments with him were enough to slowly heal my bruised heart. And I knew that after this, I would move forward and leave all the bad things behind us. Tyler and I spent the early morning s
CATHERINE. Tyler and I headed home at the scheduled time, and I couldn’t be happier with the family waiting for us. If I were to look at the expression of our mothers, I knew I had made the right choice in having this Claiming soon. Mom and Aunt Alia had always wanted Tyler and me for each other, and the excitement brewing in their aura as they helped me try the gown I would wear for the Claiming was also pumping up my adrenaline. Two gowns were prepared according to my liking, but I ended up loving both. So I chose both. I told them I would wear one for the ball and change into the other for the arena, with the latter making it easier for me to move or run around. The Claiming would be held at the Green Valley Pack, a territory just near the Council’s main headquarters, which was also great as Green Valley was under Uncle Caleb, one of Dad’s trusted friends, who was also Cameron’s dad. Which meant we could get information on who entered and exited the territory for the Claiming.
YOUNG ALPHA ALONSO. I smelled her, but it seemed Catherine did not, which was not surprising as she didn’t have her wolf at the moment. I knew coming here was a big mistake, but even if I knew it was, I still went here. I will be leaving for my Alpha training in two days, and I want to have a glimpse of Davina before I go because this might be the last time I am free to look at her. But I didn’t see her when I came here and spoke with Amara. So now I had no idea if she was around, as I didn’t want to ask. “When are you leaving, by the way?” Catherine asked. “The day after the Claiming,” I answered a little too fast when I realized she was asking something. And then Davina’s scent fainted. She was walking away. I wanted to see her but didn’t want her to see me or find out I was here. But now that she did, I was bothered that she would leave the packhouse, and I would not see her at all before I left for the North. I knew she would not be allowed to go to the Claiming, as th
THE CLAIMING BALL. FORMER BETA FEMALE ALIA. Amara, Clair, Nadine, and Cassidy were assisting Catherine in the private room assigned to her. Janna and I decided to leave it alone for now so we could look around the ballroom. Gavin came for me and took me away while Janna was in Aaron’s arms. My eyes wandered as we stepped into the ballroom. The decor was elegant and indeed fascinating. There was no doubt that Alpha Caleb and Luna Anya went all out for this event. Although it had been almost twenty-five years since the moment I first stepped into the Claiming Ball, the way this ballroom was designed brought back memories as if it were just yesterday — and I was eighteen, marveling at how many Alpha Females were around and how strong the Alpha pheromones were swirling in the air. My heart beat erratically as the flashbacks of Gavin turning his back on me flooded my head. I had moved on and had the best days of my life with him, but for a moment, the pain crossed my chest once more
(FUTURE) BETA BELLATRIX. “Hammond? Alonso’s future Beta?” My wolf and I perked up at the mention of his name. “Where is he?” Hammond and I had attended Beta training together on many occasions. And he had always caught my attention, although I knew his eyes were set on Amara. But she was off the market already, so maybe his attention could be drawn to another blonde female, which is me. I smirked and chuckled at my own confidence when, all of a sudden, an intoxicating scent of almonds and sandalwood filled my nose, and my wolf began to pant in my head. I swallowed hard before my tongue swiped over my lips. The scent kept getting stronger, and it was too late when I realized my wolf had taken control of my voice. “Mate!” A growl ripped through my throat as my body swiveled around. But it didn’t slip my attention that the faces of the men in front of me warped into surprise before they changed into confusion and disappointment before I was fully able to turn and find where the add
