CATRIONA How much did you hear? I muttered. "Everything! Jayden mindlinked with me.I got on my feet and sauntered to my mates. If they heard my story I am scared I might not own a single one. Jayden's face remained neutral that gave me a little hope but for Gabriel's, tells it all that I'm not his anymore. Hey baby! You're alright? Jayden asked, his hands on both my cheeks. I was reverted to only Gabriel whose unpredictable eyes never left mine. Catriona, look at me baby. Let me get you out of here and we will talk whenever you're ready. Jayden reiterated. I felt my heart changing from its position when Gabriel walked away. Jayden stopped me immediately as if sensed what I wanted to do. And that was following Gabriel and earnestly entreating him from breaking up with me. That's not necessary. Jayden said as he took me toward his car. The woman shadowed us and nudged my hand. Don't let your painful past ruin the bright future that's ahead of you girl. Knott
Author's POVSomewhere in the forest was a beautiful woman sitting on a rock biting her fingernails. She looked anxious. Her beautiful eyes beamed up to an eerie cerulean glow light that materialized into sight. What took you so long? Did you find anything? She desperately asked. Cool down woman. I'm here now. The peculiar voice from the glow replied. Things are getting intricated out there Luciana. You need to act soon because your sister is just a few inches away to get into that house. Luciana became so nervous that she started biting her fingernails again. Biting your fingers won't solve anything. Think quickly and act. The voice said. " Why don't we summon Catriona's soul!" She is one of my sister's main targets. Luciana said.We can't summon her now. The mysterious voice said. Why? Luciana asked, her facials questioning. The mysterious voice exhaled. You're not going to like this. Your hot alpha marked that girl. Luciana stared into the glow, prolonged. "Already!" She asked
JAYDENThe painful guilt of watching Catriona's reaction to vannesa's chanting was eating me up to my core. I must've been quick or done it incorrectly with the marking process. I marked her in fear of losing her and in anger of her sleeping with the man I had never got along with and never will. Vannesa crouched, vetting her wound. And Pamela on the other side looked perplexed at the empty space that made Catriona react in an ironical way. The two women stared at each other for quite a moment before reverting their eyes to an empty space.Is there something that you two would like to fill us in? Vannea asked them. Catriona was the first to nod in contradiction. Her exceptional reaction filled my head with questions. Ahem, could you guys leave us alone for a moment. I'd like to have a word with her. Catriona said, looking between Pamela and the empty space. Sure thing, but change that blouse and put on something light that covers up that wound. Vannesa affirmed. I agree, do that fi
JAYDENI shifted, my wolf impacting me up as I darted into the woods. Listen to me human, we all want Edward out of our sight, right? My wolf asked. Is that a question? I asked. Look, this isn't an unpleasant suggestion but I'm very certain that there's something bothering that crotch. I saw it in his damn eyes back from our fight. So, my suggestion is that instead of driving ourselves up the walls, why not first see or listen to what he's going to say. There must be a very good reason he came to you out of a sudden. And that's why I want us to find out and maybe we could use it to destroy him in the blink of an eye. I'm not interested in whatever good reasons he has. I don't intend to let that bloodsucker breathe again after destroying me, my family. But doing that I need an explanation on why he did what he did to my family.Welcome son. I thought you wouldn't come but here you are. I'm glad you respected my call. You can call me anything you want in this world but never call me y
JAYDEN I once again opened my eyes and found myself in the same incident of laying down on a seaside shore seeing the wandering birds in the sky. I certainly knew it was that old man again. I leisurely rose from the sand and stood on my heels darting around for him. My pulses began beating fast to the recall of my last meet up conversation with this old man. He warned me not to hurt Catriona, or else I'll have to face the consequences. I got goosebumps as the hairs on my skin stood up when I got a feeling that someone I'd definitely standing behind me or watching me. I was kinda hesitating to turn around. Why am I hesitating? This isn't our first meet up. I swallowed hard and turned around. The old man was indeed behind me but not alone. He was with another old man I've never seen before. He looked shorter than him but very menacing. He gave me a stony lingering stare before he turned to face the one I know. "I need a word with him alone." He said. "Go easy on him." The face I kn
GABRIEL The guilty conscience of my attitude towards catriona had been encumbering me from going to the red moon pack to see catriona and explain everything to her. Explain to her that I'd actually been there before. That I'm no one when it comes to family too. That I know very well the pain she must've been through. Will she be able to listen and forgive me though? There is a question tag!! The pain I saw her in when I left is enough to justify my conscience that she won't forgive me. I don't know what she's thinking right now that she hasn't come yet to see her family. It's been eight nights now and she hasn't come to see her brother.I was outside on my bedroom balcony and I spotted Catriona's brother cheerfully playing with the packs' kids. He's being very careful with his movements while playing. I think he hasn't fully recovered yet. And their grandmother is on the other side with the older ones but never leaves her eyes off him. It's kind of surprising that her family had accl
GABRIEL "For real? Have you made up your mind? I didn't expect you to be this quick after playing so hard to get." I didn't come here for a prattle. I'm serious about this. I want catriona. I can't lose her to Jayden. He'd hurt her enough. It's time for me to take the lead in protecting her. I want to show him how alphas protect their mates. I want to show him what protection means when it comes to mates. If you say so. As long as you know both their full names, let's head right to it. She scampered, veering into the library. How did you discover this library? I asked. A werewolf house without a library in it isn't a werewolf house. I just had to give myself a quick tour. I'm not quite sure if you're aware that we witches love libraries. Anyways, write me down their full names as I bring what I'd need for the spell. As I wrote down the names on a sheet of paper I had to ask myself if this was the right thing to do. I'm an alpha. I don't need witches' help to get the woman I love
CATRIONA Sandra was driving us back to the pack house but the cold attitude she gave me earlier when I came out of Gabriel's house is agitating me. Why on earth would my body react to Gabriel's name? I still have the burning sensation where he touched me. My lips, sensitive from our kiss. It felt amazing. There was a moment when I needed more of him. More of his… No, this isn't right at all. I shouldn't be doing this. I promised Jayden to always be loyal to him. I discarded that thought out of my head and turned to Sandra. Sandra, did I do something wrong to you unknowingly? No. You didn't! She replied in a grouchy way.Then why are you giving me the cold shoulder? Can't you see you're just an unlucky girl. You're not wanted. Whoever sets eyes on you, does that. Lauren muttered. I closed my eyes, breathed in, and out. I won't let Lauren's words get to me ever again. Sandra gave her a glance through the rear view mirror before turning her eyes back on the road. I'd careless if an
