Catherine's POV

I woke up with a dry throat, from all the crying last night, he wasn't back, everything was the same when he left.

I showered quickly, not caring about anything else, I felt like my life was over, nothing mattered anymore, my world was empty, and I just wanted to sleep forever, hoping I'll die in the process.

I came out of the bathroom gasping in shock when I saw him. I disliked him so much right now, everything he did last night resurfacing. I may be upset about what happened, but I couldn't deny the fact that he looked so handsome.

He stood there leaning against his car, he was wearing a black suit, which made him look mysterious and intimidating.

“Why are you still here?” His deep voice resonated through the living room, making me jump a little bit.

He smirked slightly, “You should stop crying, it won't change my mind about you, it won't make you less pathetic than you are.”

“There's training in the pack for everyone, it's happening downstairs.” He added leavi

    Catherine P.O.VMy eyes were slowly fading away because I couldn't breathe. Philip seemed to have noticed this as he let go of his grip on me. I sucked in as much air as I could, coughing my lungs out in the process."Listen to me, dear wife. You are not to be seen around Benjamin. I am going to be your training partner. Now get your miserable self up and follow me." I watched as he left the room, leaving me in total agony.How he could suddenly change from being a cheat to being a jealous person, amazes me. I was angry over the fact that he couldn't even stand seeing me with another guy, but he had sex with some slut last night.I picked myself up and got back to the training ground. Everyone's eyes were on Philip and me. I looked around and found Benjamin had already picked up another mate."Throw a punch." I looked at Philip and wondered if he was referring to me. "I said throw a punch!" He said feeling exasperated. I stood still, not making any move to do as he has said."What's t

    Catherine POVI stood by the doors of the chambers, contemplating whether or not to step into the dining room. "You should stop hesitating over frivolities...." I heard his voice and got in immediately. He was seated on the dining table and the moment I looked up at him, I was taken aback by how particularly handsome he looked.I haven't taken a good look at his features and doing that right now, made me realize he was such a handsome man."I know I am handsome, so keep staring." He said with a smirk on his face. Surprised to see he was also being cocky as well. Having sat down, the doors opened and a group of young girls, almost in the same age gap as myself stepped into the room with varieties of plates in their hands.I was taking a wild guess that they were presumably the omegas of the pack. One of them dropped a glass cup to the floor and it shattered to pieces."You foolish thing!" Philip stood up to his feet and I was instinctively carried away to protect the girl from his wra

    Catherine's P.O.VAt first, his words sounded like a command and this caused goosebumps running through my entire system. However, when I look up, Philip wasn't angry, the emotions shown in his eyes were more hurt than anger."Strip... Please." His words became less authoritative and were filled with concern. I hesitated but eventually complied when I realized he was my mate after all and the only one allowed to see my nakedness.I pulled down my gown slowly, till I was left with only my panties and brassiere on. The air within the room filled my body, not in a shilling manner, but more relaxing than I thought. Philip's eyes roamed around my body and for a moment I was shy, covering majorly my sensitive part.I watched as Philip slowly walked closer to me with no emotions this time written on his face. How he was able to switch between moods is beyond my comprehension. Barely inches away from me, I could hear the audible growls and I was certain they were from his wolf. Philip wasn't

    Audrey P.O.VEver since the coming of Catherine into the pack, Philip has been completely distracted away from me. Despite being his fuck mate, I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted something that could raise my status beyond everyone's imagination in the pack.I wanted to be the Luna and I was going to make sure I work towards it.I heard multiple knocks on the door and there was only one person, who had such an attitude; Nancy. I walked towards the door and pulled it open and found her rushing into the room and closing the door behind me."What's the matter?" I asked as a look of shock was written across her face."What is your problem, Audrey? Are you blind or you are just being intentionally ignorant?" Nancy's question came as a surprise. I thought through several issues we had shared in the past and none seem to be clicking with exactly what he had said."I don't get your point." I admired it honestly."The girl; Catherine she is taking your place as Luna and you sit down here f

    Catherine's P.O.VThe one reaction that I felt the moment I saw the sword suspended in the air is shock. Philip had his mouth wide open. Once I dropped my hands, the sword dropped to the floor."How did you do that?" Philip asked as he slowly walked towards my side, checking the sword. A strange energy filled my body at that moment and I knew this was no ordinary thing."I don't know!" I replied honestly.He went down and picked up his sword and pointed it towards me. "That was not ordinary, it seemed magical." I couldn't agree less. However, the question worth bearing was how I got to have the power."Can you do it again?" He asked as he plunged his sword to the ground. "Try to lift the sword from the floor." He further added."But I don't know how to do that." He walked closer to me, holding my hands and staring admiringly."Never say you can't. We may not know the source of this power, but I am sure that it didn't just happen. Believe in it and focus on your energy." His words wer

    Omniscient P.O.V"The laws of the pack are divine and so, they must be followed accordingly. However it seems you are trying to avoid it Alpha Philip" Everyone stopped and when Catherine looked at where the voice came from, she was surprised to see an old man with a stick in his hand, staring at them. He had a long beard with a threatening mustache."Lord Murdok, your words are wisdom, and being the oldest member of the pack, everyone respects you, and today, I stand to say that never would I cunningly shield the law and not let it take full force. Which is why, the law stating that a Luna must pass the endurance test, would be followed" Catherine was confused as to what Philip meant. Neither had anyone told her of any test and Philip, who was proclaiming to know the law had also kept her in the shadows."The endurance test would take place by dusk. But for the young generation, who haven't witnessed the test, I would like to explain what the test is all about...." Philps turned arou

He had a smile on his face and apparently, looked impressed by my endurance during the task. Slowly, he walked up to me in the bed and stayed by my side, his eyes unwavering from my entire existence.I was about to speak but held my speech the moment I noticed his smile has turned into a sadistic grin."It was great seeing my plaything endure the heat just to be a Luna. Such a pity you may be stripped off at the end of the day." I felt my entire body freeze in Shock at Philip's comments. I was hoping it was a dream and I was certainly going to wake up from it."Don't st

    Catherine POVI fluttered my eyes open and lifted my hand to wipe my face, it was then I knew that I had hurt my neck. Yes, I remembered. I hurt my neck and...Wait. I looked around. This is not the forest I was running to and this is not my room. I looked up at the ceiling just to see the bright chandelier emitting light. It was so bright. I used my hand to hold my neck in support. Wishing I had a wolf to heal me but I just needed to wait for the slow process to heal up. My life is so messed up right now. In a minute, I feel like I don't belong here, and in another, I wish I had a wolf who would save me from all of this I am passing through. Was I a werewolf? Maybe not because I don't even possess any qualities of a werewolf. Maybe I was just a human like my father. Enough of the thinking. I sat up and looked around. I widened my eyes when I saw the whole room. What the fuck? This is Philip's room. He is the owner of this room. Suddenly, the door burst open and he walked in prou

Skepticism and uncertainty weighed heavily on the air, like an unsaid query demanding a response.I felt the wave of unease that went through the group, a sign of their misgivings about my abrupt promotion to a leadership role.

As we sat opposite from one another, the weight of duty falling on our heads like a thick blanket, the environment crackled with a feeling of purpose."I had not signed in for this one," Lizzie said, her resolve and doubt visible in her eyes.

    CATHERINE'S POV Every day that passed seemed like a lifetime spent inside the confines of my room. What had previously felt like a golden prison had become a painful expanse of loneliness over two weeks. Furnished with opulent furniture, the room had turned into a haven and a jail.With Ana, my darling little daughter curled up in my arms, there was only one thing to feel better in this stuffy environment. Her innocent look was blind to the struggle swirling inside of me as I attended to her needs, the burden of duty pressing down on me. Even with the room bathed in a subdued brightness from the glowing sunlight filtering through the drapes, the cold that persisted in my heart persisted.The loud ticking of the elaborate wall clock reverberated throughout the room, serving as a constant reminder that time was passing at an excruciatingly slow pace. Two weeks had passed between my fingers like sand grains, and I was left entangled in the opulent maze of affluence that had become a res

Lizzie was sitting at the dining table staring at me expectantly and with anxiety in her eyes.I said, quietly but firmly, "Lizzie, we need to talk."A frown began to develop on her eyebrows as she lifted her head from her plate. Our dining room was spacious and well-furnished, which only served to heighten the significance of the talk that was about to take place."What's happening, Philip?" she said, searching my eyes for information.I sat down across opposite her, the enormity of the speech I intended to utter amplified by the oppressive quiet of the room. "I've accepted a choice, and that's significant because it includes the pack's safety and the possibility of Stanley's treason."Lizzie's eyes narrowed, a mixture of worry and fascination. "Exactly what somewhat choice?"Leaning forward, I placed my palms on the shiny dining tabletop. "I'm about to fa

Rather, Catherine stayed imprisoned within our Alpha's house, a live symbol of the treachery that hung over us like a shadow.My thoughts were tinged with doubt.
