Easton's POV:
I'd finished fucking an omega in the storage room and taken a quick walk down the hallway to get my shit together before going back to dealing with that Jessica, who my father chose to be my mate. I mentally roll my eyes, dreading the fact that I would have to face my ‘chosen’ mate. The truth is, my father was the one who chose Jessica for me, I didn’t. Although she is a real hotshot, she’s more hot-tempered and possessive than I am. In other words, she got looks. A brain? Not so much. She wants to be Luna, but I don’t think I she’s fit that role though. If I would pick a mate out for myself, I definitely won't pick Jessica. She would wear too much makeup, clothes that were barely covering anything on her body, and seemed well…too into me.
For the past few months I have been extremely patient with her demands. I admit I must have spoiled her too much in order to please my father who is presently the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, Alpha Norman. Eight years ago, I vowed to make him proud of me one day when I succeed him in the Alpha position. He's the only role model who ever stood up for me and taught me how to survive at a very young age. My real mother? She left my dad to be with her fated mate. Eventually, they created a family of their own, leaving me and my dad out of the picture. Several years later, my dad married another she-wolf from the pack. She descended from the beta bloodline, but I made it crystal clear that I won't be playing house with my father's wife.
Oh well, that was why I hate all she-wolves from the very beginning, after all. Because my mother chose to be with her goddess-given mate rather than being with her son and the werewolf she chose to marry, I always thought of rejecting my mate once I figure out who she is. I want to see her suffer like I did with my useless mother. However, the minute I turned eighteen I had a revelation. I was smelling the most delicious strawberry scent mixed with a strong scent of roses in the air. I followed that scent so eagerly as I decided to figure out whether the opening between her legs smells the same way too. I was getting close. Curious on why the scent was making my head spin and my heart race like it never did for any other femme before. Her scent led me towards the laundry room. Then, I stopped. There could only be one werewolf that ever stepped foot in the laundry room. My eyes widened in horror, washing away my excitement like a bucket of ice cold water went over my head. My mate was the pack slave. After that realization, I back away shocked. I ran back towards my room and locked the door. Why would the moon goddess give me a mere slave as my mate? It's unacceptable! Since she was only 17, she didn't know who I am to her.
Still, I can't help but admit that she really is beautiful and her scent really seduced me to even think that I would want to fuck a slave, the lowest of the low.
I raised my head and caught a glimpse of my goddess-given mate bounce her perky breasts while running down the stairs hurriedly.
There she was. Her unkempt hair didn't compromise the beauty of her small pretty face. All the other she-wolves in the pack would always make sure to keep their hair silky smooth or display big curly waves cascading down their breasts and would settle for nothing less. Compared to all of them the slave looks perfect even with messy hair. Her eyes never losing their shine even when she gets knocked down by the other werewolves who bully her every single day. Her torn fitted jeans only hugged her perfect heart-shaped ass and long, sexy legs that I always wanted to squeeze with my fingers. Her neck revealed a perfect snow white skin that my body seems to be electrified every time I touch her fair hands. Like that time when she dropped a book from the shelf and I acted to be that gentleman just to be able to feel her skin.
Looking at how hot she looks right now, I just want to rip her clothes off and fuck her right then and there. But, as the Alpha's next-in-line I have my own responsibilities. That includes keeping away from the pack slave.
"Claim her Easton." My wolf Dex spoke so eagerly inside my head.
"She's just a lowly slave." I reminded him.
"Fuck that! She's our mate! You shouldn’t turn your back on her! She needs our help."
"Even if she is our mate that can't erase the fact that she's a slave. I'm going to be the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. The rest of the pack would probably mock me if they knew that my mate is a slave. We're going to be a joke!"
Dex growled but soon after nodded in agreement. An easy win.
"However, that doesn't mean I don't get to play." I grinned.
I took a quick look around to check whether there was anyone around to spy on us. When I made sure there was zero werewolf, I decided to take action and flung my chest to block her from the kitchen so I suddenly appeared out of nowhere as it may seem.
She held her forehead, revealing the cutest expression like a kitten who had just been surprised.
"Where are you going, you little slave?" I asked.
When I met her gaze, I knew she was checking me out, studying my incomparably handsome face. Huh. Seems like she might just throw herself at me like the other omegas drooling for my dick.
To my surprise, she backed away from me as if trying her best to avoid me at all costs. Hasn't this slave learned anything? I'm the Alpha's son and next-in-line. All the other she-wolves will do everything and anything in all kinds of means just to get close to me. Some of the she-wolves I chose are even lucky enough to receive their rewards by receiving my dick through their weak ass. This woman just had to spread her legs and let me do all the fucking work, literally.
I watch her feeling slightly amused. Isn’t this what girls normally wanted? Being pinned against the wall? Little Catherine here seemed to love playing all pretend. Hmph. I doubt this woman is still even a virgin. Why does she care about modesty too fucking much?
Seeing her trying to get away triggered something inside me to trap her with my bare hands. I approached her so that her back faces the wall near her, and I leaned forward so I can get a look at that pretty little face. Just when I leaned close her strong seductive scent invaded my nose. The most heavenly smell of strawberries and a hint of vanilla to it. I gritted my teeth, not really happy at the fact that I could hardly get control of myself now that her body was this mature. Despite my annoyance, I moved in to smell her neck and took a deep breath.
My wolf, Dex, was going crazy in my mind wagging his tail as I took in her delicious scent. Deep down, I knew we were meant to be. Her body was made so perfectly to match my own and my now hard dick.
She struggles and I felt her hand push me away. I immediately grabbed her hands and raised them above her head so I could continue swimming in her scent. My mouth wants its share of her flesh and I hunger for more than just her scent.
My tongue tasted the surface of her skin on her neck.
Damn. She's so fucking good. She smells good, looks good, tastes good too.
More.
I want more.
I wonder what she would taste like right under there? My head was suddenly filled with images of her with legs spread wide open on my bed. I lick my lips, swimming in my own lust.
I felt her hands tremble in my grasp, her body shaking and I held her still. I was about to slide my hands under her shirt to discover the size of her breasts hiding beneath that sexy top.
"Easton?!" Jessica’s sharp voice offended my ears. I can hear her footsteps getting near. She was mumbling something incoherent but I was able to make out only one word that came out of her mouth. Norman. And that was my father’s name.
The little slave gasped in shock and her eyes darted to Jessica and me back and forth.
“Wait ‘til I tell the Alpha about this, you little slut!”
I mentally roll my eyes, turning my head to glance at a seething woman huffing heavy breaths behind me.
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.
Looking at Jessica mockingly, I smirked and pulled my mate’s body closer to me which was a jaw-dropping scene for her. The slave gasped again and I was really enjoying her reactions every time I see her face.
That was when I decided to do everything I can to get her into my bed, through any means possible.
Catherine's POV: My mind got easily bombarded with questions as I felt Easton slowly change the position of his lips from my neck moving forward to my cheek. The stinging pain from Jessica's slap earlier instantly got replaced with a tingling sensation evidently caused by Easton's warm breath. I panicked. My body was shaking, my hands were sweating, I can't even feel my legs. Just when I wondered when this was going to end and where it would lead me, Jessica reappeared. And for the first time, her sudden appearance made me feel relief rather than fear or dismay. "What the fuck are you doing with that little bitch?!" She screamed. I can tell from her eyes that she was about to explode with intense rage, threatening to pounce at me anytime. I looked at Easton, and from the look of his calm expression I can't even tell if he was annoyed or at least worried that his chosen mate just caught him sniffing another she-wolf right under her nose. He didn't turn his gaze away from me. Inste
Catherine's POV: ‘Mate…’ That single word echoed through my mind. Did I hear him wrong? Maybe that was my mind playing tricks on me. I wanted to burst out laughing, raise my hand, or say something in protest but couldn’t. My heart felt as if it was ready to jump out of my chest any second. I wasn't really ready with that bit of information, especially not from him. I am his mate? How could that be? Why would the moon goddess pick me to be his mate? She must have known better than anyone that I was just a mere slave. A no one. Nothing but a freak who lost her memories as a little child. Too irrelevant and weak to be mated to an Alpha’s son. I have been told by almost every single werewolf in this pack that my existence was never meant to be. That I wasn’t worthy of love from anyone. Let alone have a mate. I accepted that with an open mind and heart. I knew no one would want a mate as broken as me. Even if I did have a mate, he was the last pers
Catherine's POV: Thirty eight minutes later. I just finished cooking the eggs, bacon, toasts, some croissants, cheese sandwiches, and breakfast burritos for the whole pack. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to stuff a croissant in my hungry dry mouth or drink water as I was really really getting behind the clock. I quickly set up the tables and placed all the food that I cooked for breakfast. After several minutes, a bunch of hungry werewolves started sitting down on the pack table and instantly devoured everything at hindsight. The Alpha, Easton, and the Luna were there too, eating their own share of the bounty. While I stood in a corner nearby and silently watched as the food I just created vanished for a short period of time, having none for myself caused a severe pain in my stomach. Some werewolves who were passing by subsequently bumped me on my shoulders, threw water on my dirty apron, and kicked my foot intentionally. Nonetheless, I care little for the brutes, but the pai
Easton's POV: I noticed my mate looked as if she was feeling so uneasy in that dark corner where she stood every day during pack breakfast. I studied her face and tried to make out the meaning of her changing expressions as she stared at the mountain of food on the table. I just remembered my father forbade her to take a seat and dine with the other werewolves in every meal. I saw her hand travel down her stomach, clutching it tight. That small gesture made me know straightaway, she was starving. I excused myself from the breakfast table and stood up carrying my tray. Of course, I refilled all the dishes that was missing on the food tray so I would be providing a whole set of breakfast to my mate. "Done already?" My step-mother, also known as Luna Grey of the Silver Moon Pack, who was sitting at my right clung to my shirt, stopping me from leaving the pack table. I looked at her hand, secretly irritated at this shameless, beautiful woman who became my stepmum. "I just remembered s
Catherine's POV: Easton stopped walking midway to the exit and his sudden movement made me accidentally bump my forehead on his back. I didn't make a sound as he turned around to face me. Our eyes locked. His glowing amber eyes distracted me just for a second and I tried my hardest not to get lost in them. "Hey, it's just that, since you were a slave I never really knew your name." Ashamed of the word 'slave', I turned my head away to look at the wall to my right, not wanting any more to confirm whether there was disgust or loathe in his eyes. "Oh, it's Catherine." "Nice to meet you, Catherine. By the way, I like the sound of your name." He smiled. Unexpectedly, he stepped towards me, so slowly that it made me feel anxious enough to take a step back, wary of his every move.
Catherine’s POV: I woke up feeling a little bit dizzy. I didn't open my eyes because I noticed the intensely bright light that was peeking through my vision. Why is it so bright? More importantly, the smell of a comforting scent went up my nostrils easily as I continued to breathe. Although it wasn't that strong of a scent, something about it left me wanting more. My body also felt like it was literally floating in the air. It seemed that I was leaning on something like a hard surface. However, I noticed that my body was moving on its own to a certain direction. A hand trailed closely behind my neck, and another against each of my knee, legs closed. Gently and slowly, I let myself see everything that surrounded me. At the very first moment, I saw Easton. He was carrying me in a bridal style going to someplace, evidently far from the kitchen where I remembered myself getting beaten by a number of pissed and hungry werewolves only moment
Catherine's POV: I jumped up in fright. When my eyes searched the room, there was no one around. "Who is that?" I focused my senses to catch on any movement or any sound coming from inside the room. "It has been a long time since we merged. But then, I felt the seal that separated us for years break, " "Where are you?" I heard the voice chuckle. It was then that I realized, the voice I heard did not come from the room, but deep inside of me, in my mind and to the depths of my soul. "How could you not recognize my voice? I'm Raya, your wolf silly!" She giggled again. I felt my cheeks blush, embarrassed of my stupidity for not knowing my own wolf at our first meeting. "Sorry," I said, and my body shifted from being tense to relaxed with the knowledge of her presence. My wolf. I finally have my wolf. Knowing I was no longer alone made me quite a bit emotional, and I was feeling overwhelmed and thankfu
Catherine's POV: The delicious scent of fresh mint woke me up out of curiosity on where it had come from. As I opened my eyes and attempted to move, the instant pain around my wrists suddenly distracted me from going further to that purpose. I felt that my hands had been handcuffed to the metal frame of the bed I was currently lying on, and I looked up where I felt my hands were tied to in order to confirm it for myself. I tried wriggling the cuff in a bid to get my hands loose. Just then, I sniffed the same familiar scent back from the garden where I attempted my escape, and realized a horrifying truth behind it. The sound of footsteps approaching me slowly made me cautious and expectant of something evil about to befall me. I shrink back on the bed in fear. "Catherine, Catherine, Catherine, you never fail to surprise me every time," I flinched upon hearing the sound of his voice. "Easton. . ." I barely said his name through a whisper. "Well, it appears I have awoken my mate. Tr
