Several years ago…
"Catherine!"I hear my mother calling me out from inside the pack house. She rushed out in search for me but I made sure to hide myself from clear sight to sneak back into my room. Giggling softly, I threw one last look at my mother's back and ran forward without checking whether there was someone meeting me in the way. I was about to rush towards the stairs when suddenly, I was hit by a big wall of muscle. I tumbled and fell, bumping my butt hard on the ground as I tried to avoid the impact.
"Goddess! Can you look where you're going?"
I looked up, and instantly regretted it.
My father, Alpha Daniel, looked down on me with obvious curiosity in his eyes. I laughed and stood up immediately from the ground.
"Can you say that again, Catherine?"
Alpha Daniel spoke softly so as to avoid the assumption of him intimidating me, his own daughter.
I laughed, trying too har
Catherine's POV: My eyes burst open and my whole body froze instantly like I had just been poured an entire bucket of ice cold water. That dream. The dream I had from last night kept playing at the back of my mind, displaying every scene continuously as I try to recall the faces involved in those scenes, and I can't seem to brush off these insufferable feelings that were persisting deep inside me. Feelings full of pain, grief, and bitterness from those final moments I had with my father. From those images that kept replaying inside my mind persistently, I tried zooming in the faces of both my mother and father. At first, it was all blurry, but when I tried focusing into them more, the more it cleared up, and I snapped. I remember. I gasped in horror. Oh Goddess, I remember everything! My name is Catherine Grey, the only daughter of the former Alpha Daniel Grey and Luna Julia Grey of the Silver Moon Pack, and my rank was definitely not that of
Alpha Damien's POV:"Boss, we're here." My Beta Drake informed me the obvious. I waited 'til he went out to open the door and I stepped out of my Bugatti La Voiture Noire to take a look at the place.Five days ago, I rejected their request to visit their pack in order to do some business that their Alpha expected would elevate their pack to a higher rank, close to where mine is officially standing right now. He wanted to surpass other packs by playing friendly with me, which immediately made me lose all interest. If it weren't for my Beta who was constantly whining and complaining about not being able to find his mate anywhere, I wouldn't have come to the Silver Moon Pack. Drake wanted to go explore hoping he would eventually find his mate here.I told him to ju
Catherine's POV:I was clenching my fists, my wolf had been wanting to throw killer punches at the face of the man who had just tormented and abused me both physically and emotionally. His rejection had hurt less, and in the morning when I woke up with my memories flooding back in my head. It was only yesterday that he rejected me, but now the moon goddess really took me back with an unexpected surprise. A second chance mate, and quite a strong, terrifying, more dominant one at that. The moment he stepped into that room, I sensed an incredible power emanating from him. His presence alone made my hair stand up in shock, my heartbeat quicken all too suddenly and without warning.Sighing, I felt my body slightly relax as his beta led me to a fancy looking car parked near the entrance to our packhouse. As soon as my feet had landed on the earth just out
Catherine's POV:I felt like I was in a dream, or maybe Alpha Damien stopped at the wrong place. But how could he be wrong? He's the alpha, isn't he? I gasped at the magnificent sight before me. It was just so breathtakingly beautiful.Surrounded by a land abundant with trees, flowers, and dirt which remarkably captivated the beauty of nature, lies a great mansion larger than anything I have ever seen. The windows were huge, huge enough to welcome every ray of sunlight sourced from the burning son billions of miles from earth. As if the mansion itself was humble and shy in character, the curtains were opened only slightly for the outside world, but they barely revealed anything more than chandeliers and ceilings to its wondering specators below on earth. Its walls were made of rocks that stood strong, tall a
Alpha Damien's POV: My eyes widened at the unexpected crowd, and I furrowed my eyebrows as I stare at the pack. I glanced at Drake who gulped upon meeting my eye and glared, studying his thoughts. I opened my mindlink and connected with my beta. 'What is supposed to be the meaning of this? Why did you bring this crowd over?' I demanded while narrowing my eyes at him then the crowd. Each of my pack members stood there looking stunned, still and unmoving. 'It wasn't me, Damien, I swear! I only mindlinked auntie about the good news and the next thing I knew, the whole pack gathered here. Believe me, I'm just as surprised as the both of you.' I don't know how else to respond other than to frown. Of course. My m
Catherine's POV:My face still burned in embarrassment and humiliation as I faced an entire different pack. Closing my eyes, I tried to tell myself over and over again not to show any weakness in front of them, especially my new mate.'It's okay, Catherine. Our mate is here. He will protect us, and I'm sure of it." Raya said that to cheer me up and bring me out of my depressed state.'Maybe you're right this time, Raya. I think so, too.' I admitted. It's true that I felt Alpha Damien's scent more fragrant and comforting, far from what it seemed like with Easton. I had sensed a genuineness that eminated only from Alpha Damien. Despite his terrifying aura and appearance, I could tell he's not really an evil person, or anything of the sort.I smiled inwardly, thinking of Alpha Damien's godlike face and his hard, toned body that--Stop. Stop Catherine. Seriously, why the need to include his body? I
Catherine's POV: All at once, I heard the door swing open with a loud bang. My head jolted to face the direction where I heard the sound and saw, him. I though I had skipped a beat just when I saw his eyes turn full black, meaning his alpha wolf might just take over his body any moment now. I gulped and felt as though he had burned my skin with his overly intense gaze. I stood up straight immediately as I saw him glaring at my hand, which beta Drake was coincidentally holding at the time. Drake had abruptly let me go as though he had been zapped from electric shock. The reason why he was holdin mg my hands was because he had just helped me get the handcuffs off of my wrists. But it just had to be the same time when Alpha Damien decided to suddenly barge straight into the room.
Catherine's POV: "But only in one condition," There is a mysterious look on his face that I can't quite solve. The smell of his breath lingered, teasing my nose as he moved his face closer to mine. I held my breath, trying not to break a sweat while heat enveloped me whole. However, it did not seem to affect Alpha Damien in the slightest. "What... condition?" I managed to utter the words in between breaths, staying completely still while his fingers played the skin on my face, as he placed a finger on my lips and slid it down to my chin. Sparks came in all places he touched, making me feel almost breathless from this growing excitement caused by our contact in addition to the closeness of our bodies. My heartbeat sped up as he began to open his mouth, which distracted m
