Catherine pov.. "Why does this have to happen to me?" I wondered aloud, sitting close to the wall of the dimly lit room. My eyes were fixed on my stomach, hoping against hope that it was all just a bad dream. The air was thick with a mix of emotions - fear, uncertainty, and desperation. I desperately needed Mora, my one and only friend, to be with me, to hold me and reassure me that this was all just a nightmare. As if in answer to my prayers, the door slammed open, and there was Mora, looking worried and concerned. I leapt into her arms, seeking solace and comfort. My head was buried in her shoulder as I sobbed uncontrollably, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't want this child." She was silent for a moment, her hands running through my hair in a soothing motion. Then, she took me to the other side of the room and looked into my eyes. "Why are you crying, Cat? You should be grateful," she said softly. "This will demonstrate to everyone that you are truly Alpha Lux Luna."
Catherine pov. I returned to my chair, frightened of what he might do to me. I avoided looking up at him, holding my cheek in my hands. The air was heavy with tension, and my heart raced as I waited for his next move. Lux appeared, serving me some food. Despite my efforts to hide it, my hands trembled, and tears streamed down my face. He placed the plate in front of me and said softly, "Here." My eyes already felt wet, and I looked up, uncertain of how to escape the situation. The room was dimly lit, and the only sound was the clinking of utensils against the plate. I noticed how Lux fixated on me as we ate in silence. I considered asking him about his life, but I knew it wasn't the right moment. I stood up to clear the remaining food from the plate and realized it was empty. Lux grabbed my hands and looked up at me just as I reached his side. "What are you doing?" he asked, puzzled. I turned to face him, trying to tidy up the area so I could clean the dishes in the kitchen. He c
Catherine pov. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling as if I had been knocked out. The world around me came into focus, and I saw a figure dressed in white standing before Alpha Lux, engaged in conversation. As I sat up, my hands went to the sides of my head, trying to steady myself. I feared I might lose consciousness once again. Alpha Lux noticed my awakening and rushed over, holding me by my hands. "Are you okay?" he asked, concern etched on his face. I nodded, still holding my head. Trying to recall what happened, I remembered him hitting me, causing me to fall. I stepped back in fear, looking up at him. "Catherine, it's okay. I won't hit you again. I swear." His words did nothing to calm my terror, and I continued moving away, afraid I might disappear entirely. "You have to make her rest, Alpha, because of the baby," the doctor said, approaching us. "I didn't bother looking at the Alpha; I just stared at the bed," I thought to myself. The room was quiet except for the sound of t
Lux pov. I watched as she ran away from me, her long hair flowing behind her like a trail of fire. I could hear the soft thud of her feet hitting the ground as she ran, her breath coming out in short gasps. She looked like a frightened deer, scared and alone in the forest. I wasn't the type to just stand around and do nothing; I was pissed off, and I wanted to make her pay for running away like that. I knew I had to be careful, though. I had to keep my anger in check if I didn't want to hurt her or her unborn child. I was only doing that because I didn't want my child to get hurt, but after she gives birth, I will make sure she pays for every mistake she makes. I will teach her a lesson she won't forget. I shouted out to my beta, Alex, as I told him to go get me Catherine. It's difficult to remember her name, but after hearing the other slave call her Cat, I thought that was much easier to say. I needed to talk to her and find out what was going on in her head. I sat on my bed as
Catherine pov. I felt a deep chill pierce through my bones as I hugged myself tightly, desperately seeking warmth that wouldn't come. It seemed like the coldness of the place had seeped into my very being. My eyes slowly lifted, taking in my surroundings. The dimly lit room was barren except for the small cage that I was trapped in. The steel bars felt cold and unforgiving against my skin. A musty smell filled the air, reminding me of the dampness that always seemed to linger in this place. The smell was a constant reminder of the dank, dark reality I was living in. Suddenly, the creak of the door drew my attention. My heart leaped as I saw Mora's face peering in. Relief flooded through me, and I called out to her, my voice barely above a whisper. "Mora," I said, my eyes pleading with her to help me. "Please, can you get me out of here?" I longed to escape from this prison that I had been thrown into. But Mora's expression turned sad as she shook her head. "I'm sorry, Catherine,"
Catherine pov. I put my head down, feeling scared to look up at Lux. He seemed overwhelmed with remorse, shame, and betrayal, and I sensed that he was preparing to release his pent-up emotions in a fit of rage. After a moment, I summoned the courage to meet his gaze. His eyes were filled with thoughts and emotions that he couldn't seem to express. I noticed that my stomach had dropped slightly, and I wondered if our unborn child had survived. I couldn't bring myself to ask him directly, so I just kept looking at him, hoping he would say something. We remained locked in silence, with only the sound of our shallow breathing filling the room. Suddenly, Doctor Mick walked over to us, breaking the tension. He took a seat beside me, and I shifted my attention away from Lux and toward the doctor. "Catherine," he said, calling my name as he tossed a piece of paper onto the desk in front of me. I hesitated, unsure if I should respond, but I felt too unsettled to stay silent. "Why did you
Catherine pov. "Will you be my Luna?" He asked, making my heart pounding in my chest as I gazed into Lux's stormy gray eyes. I wasn't sure if he was serious or if Doctor Mick had put him up to it. I turned to face the doctor, who smiled and nodded encouragingly. "Why?" I asked, my eyes never leaving Lux's. He took my hands in his, his touch warm and comforting. Slowly, he moved closer to me, and I could see the sincerity in his eyes. "I want you, Catherine," he whispered, his gaze dropping to our entwined hands. "I regret every decision I've made and the pain I've caused you." As he lifted his face to meet mine, I saw a vulnerability in him that I'd never seen before. "Can you ever forgive me?" he asked, his eyes shining with unshed tears. I hesitated, unsure of what to do. I looked down at my stomach, then back up at him. His eyes searched mine, full of hope and fear. "Please give me some time," I whispered, my eyes avoiding his intense gaze. Dr. Mick retreated to the wall,
Max pov. I stood still, observing my sister's movements with a sense of concern. She seemed distressed, but unwilling to share the cause with me."What's wrong, sister?" I stepped forward, holding her back to prevent her from pacing.Looking up at me, I saw sadness etched onto her face. "I was this close to killing both her and the child, but it seems like something was stopping the medicine from working." She yelled, shattering the vase closest to her."Can you believe he proposed to her?" She turned to face me, her eyes blazing."That fool thinks he can have a Luna and also have a hare, but as long as I stay in that castle, I will make sure he never hears the cry of that child, and when that is done, I will make sure he sees the mother of his child dead."My sister was determined to destroy the Blood Moon pack at any cost. She was more ruthless than me, and for once, I felt proud of her.I walked over to the chair closest to the fireplace and sat down, gazing at the flickering flame
