JAYDEN I froze in my tracks, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of my wolf's words hung heavily in the air, leaving me speechless. Breaking the mate bond was an unthinkable act, a betrayal of the deepest kind. It was a bond meant to be eternal, unbreakable.That is the best thing we can do for Catriona. She'll be free. And safe from being hurt by the man she loves. Even though my wolf said this, I can feel the sadness in his tone and feel the beating of his heart, which tells me that he doesn't mean it. I know he's trying to punish me for everything I did to him, especially to Catriona. Fuck me I wasn't in my right damn mind. However, it doesn't mean that I don't love Catriona. I genuinely love and care about her to the extent of giving my life for her. Despite my wolf's warning, I disregarded him and headed into the house. "Did you hear what I said?" His voice echoed loudly in my head making it hard for me to think straight. "I heard you loud and clear, beast." We need
CATRIONA l gazed wide-eyed, still processing what just happened where I hurried over to Jayden, as he appeared to be in pain. My love and concern for him compelled me to reach out, but instead, a powerful gust of wind blew through me, separating us. I stumbled backward, my heart pounding in my chest.Fortunately, Gabriel was behind me and caught me before I hit the ground. His strong arms wrapped around me, providing a sense of stability amidst the chaos. I clung to him, grateful for his presence in this bewildering moment.Without hesitation, I turned to face the witches, my Voice trembling with a mix of fear and anger. "Did you do this? Are you responsible for what just happened?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing as I awaitedtheir response.The witches exchanged glances, their expressions filled with surprise and confusion. One of them with silver hair, stepped forward, her voice gentle yet resolute. "No, we hadnothing to do with it,'' she replied.My mind raced, trying to make sens
GABRIEL When I ensured Catriona's safety indoors, I ventured out to mediate the conflict between the witches and Jayden's enraged wolves. I never anticipated being struck by the witches' wrathful magic, which was originally intended for Jayden. The impact of the magic left me clutching my chest tightly, as if it might burst open. I remained on the ground for several minutes, groaning in pain.Although the temptation to shift and violently retaliate against everyone was strong, I knew I had to remain calm.Feeling frustrated, I took a deep breath and confidently approached the wolves and witches, positioning myself between them with a dominant demeanour. "You all need to calm the fuck down," I assertively stated. Surprisingly, everyone except for Jayden stopped. He angrily trotted over to me, snarling in my direction…"You dare bring unknown witches to my house and give orders to my pack?" Who do you think you are?" He said, his voice guttural. "Trust me, I wouldn't mess with brin
JAYDENI froze in place when my so-called vampire brother burst out of the pack house, somehow managing to get his hands on Catriona. "I've had enough, little brother," he said. Everyone paused including Gabriel, waiting to see whom he was referring to as his brother. Gabriel was quick to react, glancing from me to the vampire. His face turned red with fury, and could tell he wanted to charge at my brother and break him in half. As satisfying as that would be, it was also impossible. Doing anything foolish would put Catriona in danger.My brother approached me confidently, exuding an air of satisfaction. He sniffed Catriona's neck and then turned to me, remarking, "She smells good." He twirled his bloody tongue over his fangs. Gabriel's voice echoed angrily in my mind, demanding, "Who is this bloodsucker to you, Jayden?" His wolf paced restlessly around him while bombarding me with questions. "Let her go. It's me you want." I said but instead, his smile grew wider, as if he was enjo
CATRIONA It has been eight months since the pack was attacked and everything that followed. Jayden and I have been able to reconcile and our love for each other has grown. Ever since Gabriel broke the mate bond with me he suddenly disappeared. Until now I haven't seen him. But I heard murmures from the pack members that he found himself a mate and made her the luna. Initially, I was hurt because he seemed so determined to be with me, but then suddenly ended our connection.However, I feel at ease with everything going well around me. The pack members have accepted me as their alpha's mate, and their affection towards me is growing stronger. My brother's health has stabilised, so we don't have to visit the hospital as often. Regarding the old spirits, they continue to possess me during times of trouble and fight our battles when needed. However, whenever I attempt to inquire about our relationship, they simply smile and leave me hanging. I have given up on pursuing this topic. Vanne
I just got a call that I was accepted and qualified to be a surrogate mother. I'm very happy and at the same time nervous.My name is Catriona Havers, I'm twenty-five years old. I have a little brother named Edirne. Our mother died giving birth to my brother and left me with a newborn baby. By then, I didn't know anything about newborns and how to take care of them. By the Grace of God and with the help of our good neighbour Miss Olivier, I managed to raise him. The doctors found out that he had a heart problem and that he needed to get surgery as soon as possible before his condition worsened. I had to quit school and started working from here and there with different jobs. I was struggling so hard to get the money for my brother's surgery, but I couldn't raise the amount that was needed for the surgery.I decided to become a surrogate mother to earn enough money, but I didn't expect that i'd be accepted that easily by my looks. I'm so happy that at least I'll be able to get half of
He gave me a smile, and I blushed. He's too gorgeous to look at. I'm going to call you someone to show you your room. He said. I just nodded, and within two seconds, someone knocked at the door. He told the person at the door to enter. She was a woman who was the same age as me. "How did he call her without a phone? I wondered in my mind. Ms. Catriona, she's called Sandra, she'll be the one to show you your room and the rest of the house. In case you want something, feel free to tell her. He said. I nodded my head in agreement. She slightly bent her head at him and gestured to me to follow her. We walked in the hallway and took me to my new room. She opened the door for me to enter. It was a big bedroom with a king-sized bed with the white sheets on it. It had two wide windows and a sliding door that went outside the balcony. Outside the balcony, there was a leisure mod wicker that held two people.Do you like it? I didn't know that Sandra was following me. No, I don't like it, but I
He brought his lips to mine and started kissing me. I responded so quickly to his kisses and touches. He brought out his tongue, rubbing it gently on my lips, asking for entrance. I parted my lips to let his tongue slide in. Both tongues played their roles. As it's my first time I didn't know what to do next so I slid my hand inside his shirt and tried to lift it off him but I couldn't because he's too tall for me to do so. I'll do it for you. He said. He took off his shirt, and my hands couldn't stop themselves from exploring his body. He slowly removed my night dress, my lingeries, and tossed them aside. He looked at me for a long time and saw him drinking me in with his eyes We will waste no more time. He said and carried me in a bridal style and laid me down on his soft bed. He came on top of me and started kissing me. He left my lips and kissed me downwardly onto my breasts. He gently squeezed them and gave me a sexy smirk and hardly pinched both my nipples but in a good way. I
