16Hector's POVPack business!I signed silently when I found out I was going to go with the alpha for pack business. The last thing I knew was what to say to her once I saw her face again considering what happened between us.Last night, I couldn't say it was an accident because Winter initiated it despite my disapproval. That kiss was one I won't forget though she didn't respond.I hope being away for a while would eliminate the awkwardness that was to exist between us.I followed him to the car. The first meeting with one of the northern alphas was over. We had it in with the rogues and thanks to the goddess he agreed to be of help almost immediately after we proposed. Alpha Damon was a pain in the neck, I didn't think I had to lose my cool with him. He kept talking about Luna as if he knew her, which was not even part of the agenda. Ezra wasn't any less as we both got angry with him but I didn't need to bust out because Ezra did a good job of shutting him up. After he agreed to th
Catherine's POV " Do you think you are good enough for him?" a single word from her and my blood would start boiling. She never fails to show her face to me and that disgusting mouth of hers. Who the hell was she to stand my way?" No dear, you are talking wrong and I don't appreciate it" she shook her head dramatically. " I mean to say, Ezra made the worst choice by picking interest in you," she said and my temper suddenly raised, I wished I could slap that face of hers to shut her up. I should be used to her plaque mouth but for some reason, she still crawls under my skin whenever she opens that thing she calls a mouth." I know he promised you the pack..." she paused, looking around dramatically with a nasty smile on her face. Why do I feel she hates me when I already knew?" but am sorry to say, there are others he promised the world to, see?....." What exactly was she implying? I looked down at her open arms" you don't make me angry one bit!" I told her, I knew her goal was to piss
Hector's POVI hung up the call when the caller seemed to be silent besides, it was an unknown number and I wasn't interested in finding friends and making friends. I was a Lycan so I didn't need a phone for anything but I just had it for other uses.' Catherine' Winter said and I stared down at my ringing phone pulling out the cigar from my mouth before releasing the thick smoke. I chuckled, it was the same number that called a minute ago. I looked around my surroundings still leaning on the car. I didn't normally smoke just that I was bored. Back in the pack, I was busy most of the time doing one thing or the other. But now I had to wait while he concluded his meeting with the various alphas involve, so it was me trying to release myself from the boredom and the ugly smell of those fucking she-wolves. Without saying a word I click on the phone to put it on loudspeaker, I wondered how possible it was to receive a call from the luna of the Lycan pack.How great! I thought in sarcasm s
Catherine's POVThree days, days, and the only one I was shamelessly missing was my cruel mate instead of the fabulous handsome alpha king.Was I being cruel?Sometimes I feel like digging a hole and burying myself, how on earth could I be this shameless? I couldn't help it, at least not with the approval of my wolf. Aria was too much into him and too greedy to deal with. She was so much into Hector and Winter more than I was with him without feeling guilty. She had been a pain in the ass for the last three days and she didn't seem to get tired of her rattles!I was looking at my phone like crazy waiting for him to call me back. I called him a while ago and he told me he would call back. I didn't know why but I guess he was busy' why don't you call him? You should do it since he isn't calling anytime soon ' Aria urged but I shook my head. I couldn't listen to her any feather, enough of the embarrassment. She did embarrass me a while ago when I called him, I stupidly said everything sh
Hector's POV If not for today, I wouldn't know watching someone learn was fun. I know it should be boring but I guess because it was her. She kept avoiding my gaze as if she didn't want to have a glimpse of me, unlike those days when she stares at me with joy and shining eyes. She was the easily excited women type, the second woman I could read easily. Little things could keep them happy all day maybe because she was used to the big stuff. I chuckled leaning my back on the tree behind me. I narrowed my eyes watching her side face, a very easy going person. I just found out she was from bridge pack, and bridge pack itself wasn't that poor. The pack was small and hidden but their land was richly blessed with honey and gold. I also know how good a life their members lived because I have been there before.She didn't need to put up such behavior to get away from me. I mean why the sudden change?It seemed to me that the beautiful Luna and coming queen of the Lycan pack was looking down on
Catherine's POVWhat was my problem anyways?Obviously, desirous!Aria wasn't the one running me insane as supposed to but the other way around. My conscience and feelings were the ones giving me the wild feeling pulling me into some insane feeling.I haven't been at peace for the past few days and that had something to do with the female voice I heard the other day when I was talking to him on the phone.I called him because I was missing him badly and what did I get? Him flirting with some slut whilst on the phone.I didn't know how to explain my feelings at the moment but one thing was certain, I was damn scared. I was scared he would do what I have been afraid of all this while. " You have been there for like thirty minutes" I heard the strong male voice from behind and I didn't have to think before knowing who it might be. Why was he early today? I thought.He used to come late whenever there was a pack meeting. I saw his expressionless face in the huge mirror in front of me and
I felt his weight reduce on me, as I opened my eyes I met his blue beautiful eyes staring nonchalantly at me. And I shivered, noticing the anger in them. I knew I was doomed but to my surprise, he pulled off from me sitting his ass on the little space between my legs. I cursed as it took me long to notice where his gaze was pointed at, he was seriously looking at my right breast which had popped out from the dress since it was already torn. I pulled it up, shading them with both my hands as a tear dropped down from my eyes.My face was stained with tears and my heart was giving me that fearful heartbeat I had never experienced before." get change" he stood up pulling his top to cover his erection as if he did not want me to see what I have done to him.I did not wait for him to say anything more as I ran locking myself in the bathroom. I leaned against the door in tears covering my mouth with my hand to keep my sob in. I felt my life shattered, I wanted nothing like this with Ezra.I
Hector" Try not to make it obvious next time" I clenched my jaw tightly and with one last look I strode out of her room with a cold angry face. I couldn't get hold of myself like I wanted to and I fucking hated myself for caring and feeling betrayed. Why was I behaving like I didn't know this would happen? It was obviously bound to occur but I was angry and that was for nothing. She was his queen and they had chosen each other because they liked each other so which part didn't I understand? ' You are not trying hard enough,' Winter suggested but I was in no mood to exchange words with him. It was about time he learned to move on and forget about ever having a mate named Catherine. I was so going to do the same but how the fuck was that even possible when I wanted her more than life itself? I loved her, where do I even start from?My hands fisted as I increased my pace" Hector..." Helen called from behind but I didn't stop because I didn't know what I might do if she tried her games a
Catherine's POV" Luna '' the man acknowledged my present with a small smile and that was after Hector had disappeared from the room. I flickered my gaze to him not knowing how to feel even though I wasn't the least scared of anything. Having Hector with me again seemed to solve my every problem, his present was all that I needed and thanks to the goddess I have gotten it. I understood how wrong it was for a pack member to see their Luna cuddling in the arms of another but I wasn't ashamed of anything.I stared at him again , his black hair was short unlike Hector who had it long behind him. His eyes gave more of a friendly vibe than the danger his body screams.There was no familiarity with him, he seemed young like someone in his late twenties. While I was wondering who he was ,he was busy watching my face for whatever reason" Sorry Luna " he apologized probably for his eyes still looking down at me which made me wonder why because he wasn't stopping" By the way I'm Jacob, the pack
Hector's POVI have never looked back before and I fucking hated myself more when I recollect old James' confidence when he said I would look back one day and he would live to see that day, it was a promise and I guess he has worn miserably because of her. I certainly couldn't stop myself from looking back and I guess it was the new routine for me.Catherine... It would always be her and no one else. Feeling her warmth again after days felt like decades and I didn't want to part away from her. She was all that I thought about for the past few days and so here I was feeling her in my arms again. The crazy night we shared had left something in me that I no longer wanted to let out of my sight for even a minute. I dropped here first just to see her pretty face because Ezra was in a meeting with the elders and since I couldn't hold my thirst for her I followed up to meet her in her room not minding the dangers lingering around.I was aware Ezra could walk in any moment but that wasn't so
Catherine's POVI had made up my mind to save myself the torture and ask Ezra about Hector though I was wary of what I might find and scared to find out something that would kill the little life left in me.I was scared of the unknown.But I was already dying not knowing anything.I would beg him not to do anything to him maybe that would help, I would do my best and explain to him how he rejected me many times. And it was all my fault, I used the bond against him. I made him want me even when he didn't want to betray his alpha. Tears blurred my vision once again as if I wasn't tired enough, I was dead tired but very much afraid.I shook my head and wiped my tears away staring out the window, at the green thick forest that lay behind the huge building of the Lycan pack as the warm air brushed my hair from my face. The forest seemed quiet and peaceful with only the chirping of the birds and the living insect. But then nothing seemed to be distracting me, earlier I had my class with Sir
Staring up at his face, It was nothing but cold. His expression was calm and gentle yet his speech seemed hushed and threatened. What was I supposed to do? He meant what he said and I couldn't tell how much he had accomplished. What if he had already done what he said or worse?I couldn't sleep that night as I kept rolling and turning on the bed in discomfort. I was too worried and scared for my good. I was scared for Hector's life, I was terrified that something might have happened to him. I couldn't imagine anything good coming from a person's sudden disappearance, he disappeared before I could wake up in the morning and now it was midnight for God's sake! He was my guard and what was I supposed to think when he hadn't shown up for more than twelve hours?I didn't know what to make out of this and the worse part was Ezra seem to know everything and what would stop him from killing him? A tear slipped from my eyes with my lips parted lying on my side with half of my face buried in th
" I want you to know it's not an order," I said and she shook her head "No Luna, I'm okay besides, serving you is the best thing that has ever happened to me in this pack," she said the last part in a small sad tone and I raised a brow. " I loved you since the first day you stepped into this pack and when the king ordered me to always attend to you, I felt like a new person. You are a good soul Luna, I want you to know that" I nodded without knowing what to say because certainly, I didn't expect anything like this from someone who knew about my betrayal and how unfair I was treating her alpha." I will just clean up" I dragged my ass toward the edge of the bed and stopped down.I strode to the bathroom directing my steps to the sink to wash my stained face. As I finished washing my face, I noticed my swollen cheek and the small cut on my lip which had dried blood on it. I creased my left red cheek with my hand feeling how hard it was but for some reason, I couldn't feel a single pain a
Catherine's POVI had a beautiful life growing up in my pack and that was because I had the most lovely mother and father to see me through, the kind of parent I didn't want to lose. My life used to be anything but certainly not out of their interest. How weird could things get? Now I could tell how ready I was to take this path without their support. She hurt me, mom confused me with her decision. Why Ezra? Why did she have to leave me under his care? I didn't get why, how come he still wanted me after what I had done? Why was I locked up in his room instead of the dungeon where traitors like myself deserve to be? I betrayed him by sleeping with another man who was my fated mate, shouldn't he punish me for my betrayal? Nothing was calling in nor did I have the mind to understand him and what he intended to do with me. I doubted he wanted me to be his queen and Luna after what I had done to him. No alpha would allow that even my parents couldn't take the shameful part of it so I guess
" you smell different... And good" he whispered to me all of a sudden leaving a wet kiss on my forehead and strode out of the room shutting the door behind him. I just stood there with the white towel around my chest. Did he just say I smell different? I didn't understand why he said that nor how different I smelled but Aria seemed to be aware of what he just said' Can you say something?' I demanded but knowing my stubborn wolf very well she didn't blink an eye just like she always does, not the least intimidated by my voice. She hated to be ordered and I had no idea why or maybe because she was an alpha wolf. I picked the blue dress among the dresses on the bed and within a minute I was done wearing it. Standing behind the mirror, I checked myself out as my mind recalled a lot of the things that happened the previous night. And within me, I felt something different, something more exciting was exploding within me that I couldn't place a hand on. I was feeling weird inside but I was
......Catherine's POV" Luna you can't be seen like this" someone whispered pulling me abruptly and gently by the arm into a room before I could access the familiar female voice, I was already inside as the door shut behind me almost immediately leaving me in total darkness and within seconds the light flipped on" Lydia?" I was surprised and confused at the same time to see my maid acting like a hero instead of reporting me missing to the alpha king. What was that about? My eyes unconsciously stared around and that was when I became aware of the familiar room. The room I used to occupy before Ezra decided we settle for one room.What was all this?I couldn't guess what her mission was but she was shading me. I noticed the golden veil on the bed, yes the same girl I was wearing last night" You followed me?" I wasn't sure what I was asking because I certainly didn't notice anyone behind me when I was running off to Hector's and l doubt she did. But she surprised me with her nod after l
I strode into the house and gently lowered her onto the bed to not wake her " Hector" she opened her eyes and grabbed my arm the minute I was about to walk out of her side "Rest" I said this and she slowly loosened her grip. I tagged her under the sheet before walking to the small closet, grabbing ripped jeans to cover myself. " what do you want?" he stared at my room door before clearing his throat. I had never been the type that entertained visitors in my home though it wasn't the first time he was coming down here. " I doubt you will want to make noise" he raised a brow and I narrowed my eyes. I wasn't worried about anything because I knew Copper doesn't care about any of this" The alpha wants to see you" was not surprising besides, it makes a lot of sense.I shut the mind link a few hours ago when I was making out with Catherine "Any idea why?" I asked not worried much because it wasn't his first time summoning me at late night " Not really" Copper answered with an uncertain look
