"When did I allow you to stare at my woman in such a manner?" With a growl, Carlo remarked.Zeke, who had been staring at Catrina, moved his gaze to him."I'm sorry, Alpha. I had no idea that made you angry."He responded with a grin, fully aware that Carlo wasn't in the mood for jokes at the moment. But he quickly switched gears and put on a serious face. He was smart enough not to provoke the alpha's anger."I'm not going to steal your woman, Carlo. I wouldn't dare anyway." With a grin, he stepped aside, making way for the Alpha to lead Catrina into the party.Catrina hastily moved her hands away from Carlo's waist. He tightened his grip even further."Why did you do that to Zeke?" she asked him. Seeing his expression suddenly darken and become cold"Did what exactly?""You just ruin the pleasant atmosphere, Carlo. You ruined the fun. Zeke is your friend, and he merely expressed his opinion about my beauty? Why were you so bothered by it?"Catrina had a hard time understanding him.
"Zeke, can you please stop being so mean to me?"Morea's weak voice had a magical effect on Zeke, causing him to let go of his hold, which he hadn't realised was hurting her.He had no intention of being mean to her. Zeke just wanted to make her understand that what he was doing now, against Carlo's orders, would bring trouble to both of them."Let's go. Let me break it down for you—this is all for your good, okay? I'll take you home." Zeke tugged at her, but the girl stagnated in place."I don't want to."He released a sigh. This girl is so stubborn!"Morea, Carlo doesn't want to see you here anymore. Is it too hard to understand?"Morea just stood still, not answering. But Zeke could see the water slowly welling up in her eyes.'Oh, not now. His panicked rise ' Don't cry here in front of everyone.'"Let her go if she doesn't want you to take her." Before Zeke could react, the Alpha remarked.He turned to him, and Zeke thought that he would let Morea stay here tonight, but the Alpha
Catrina shot Carlo a fierce glare when she realised he was exploiting her reluctance to be called his Luna to have full control over her. And since she is just a prisoner in the guise of a special guest here, she will not be able to go against him as the Alpha. Furthermore, she needs to remember that if she does that, this heartless man will have brought her daughter into this. "Um, I think you shouldn't punish your aunt. I'm not offended by what she said at all. Can't we just leave it at this?" The corners of Tyana's lips formed a smile of satisfaction. The woman was quite satisfied that this Omega knew her place, despite Carlo acting like she was everything. After Catrina met her niece, Morea, Tyana believed she should have realised herself. This Omega could never replace Morea in anything. "Please, Alpha. If you punish her, it will make me uncomfortable as a guest. You don't want that to happen." Jacob smiled at Catrina. "Thank you; you are very wise." Carlo stared at her em
Catrina started to feel an incredible rush of pleasure as his kisses began to move down the sensitive skin of her neck. She was consumed by a burning desire for him and his touch.Unlike back in the day, when she wouldn't even let him lay a finger on her, this feels so right, like they were meant to be."You might be angry with me after this," he whispered, gazing into her face. "You might hate me forever, Catrina. I won't mind; your hatred is a delight compared to your absence in my life."'I can't live without you' Carlo knew that he realised it too late.It was the voice of the man that she loved and hated in equal measure.It was like a dream when he let those words slip into her ear. She was drunk, with his kiss on every inch of her lips.And then she felt his hand caressing her delicate skin as her clothes slipped off. The sensation brought back a wave of deja vu, and she was transported back to a memory from four years ago.FLASHBACK ON. "Her pregnancy is healthy. The baby is
Carlo hurried to his mother's room and discovered that doctors and healers were gathered around Mathilda's bed, as her condition had suddenly deteriorated. "How is my mother's condition?" He asked one of the pack doctors who took care of his mother's illness. The doctor seemed hesitant to say it or not. "Sorry Alpha but-" The doctor went quiet right away when he saw Carlo's furious expression and the veins popping out on his skin. He was really angry right now. "Don't you try to tell me you can't make her condition better." He threatened the doctor. Mathilda has experienced multiple instances when her condition has caused difficulty breathing and weakened organ function. "If anything happens to her, I will not spare you. His words successfully made the doctor gulp and run back to the bed. Carlo waited at least an hour and a half for them to finish treating Mathilda, during which time he waited in the room. Silent without being able to do anything. He never felt this powerless a
Catrina froze in the backseat when the driver of the other car dragged her driver out and brutally beat him, leaving him unconscious on the road. The other Gamma lunged, fiercely put up a fight, but the mysterious man was powerful enough to simultaneously block three of their attacks. Trembling, Catrina slipped out of the car amid the fighting. Her legs went limp as soon as she saw that there were no more of Carlo's men left. She backed off. "Please... spare me; d-don't kill me, sir; I was just about to be reunited with my only daughter..." She slumped on the road as the mysterious man walked up in her direction. Her wolf was scared that it didn't want to take over. She knelt, but then he yanked her to her feet and dragged her to his car. "Where are you taking me? Please spare my life! I am not in the Blackthorn's pack! Her cry shattered the stillness of the night as their car drove off. But then the man beside her took off his full face mask, which made Catrina dumbfounded. "Th
Hearing that, Theo is unsure of the emotions swirling in his mind. Even though he's mad, he's also bummed out. "So yesterday—you and him— "No." Catrina cut him off. "He just wanted Lacie for his own good. There's nothing else between us. Catrina hoped it would ease the anger that Theo was feeling. She was puzzled as to why he was so jealous and possessive when it came to Carlo. But it's the reaction of his wolf that makes her sure Theo himself is clueless about the reason. Since the day he was born, he hasn't always been in sync with his wolf. So she's trying to figure it out. "I was just wondering, Theo, what I did to make your wolf so angry earlier. Catrina got to her feet and made her way to the window. Theo stood up and followed her. "What?" "It only happened when we found our mate, right? Whenever we caught sight of our mate close to another wolf or even just interacting with them, our possessiveness and jealousy increased to unhealthy levels." Upon hearing that, something
Because if his father found out Theo introduced Catrina, who was an Omega to all of his subjects, as his mate, Amos would be enraged. Theo is never in his father's good graces. Out of his four siblings, he was the most underestimated for his abilities. The king also believes that Theo is not as strong or capable of leading his subjects as his brothers. And now, if King Amos knew his mate was an Omega, he might destroy both of them. But Margaretha knew there was no point in telling Theo; he loved Catrina sincerely more than anything. The night of Damien Lester's coronation party as the next Lycan king had finally arrived. Catrina has been getting ready since sunset. She got dressed in her finest attire, slipping into the stunning black evening gown that Theo had purchased for her just a month ago. She also wore onyx earrings and a necklace, and she applied bold makeup to enhance her beauty. "My mom will be really happy once she meets you!" Theo exclaimed as Catrina emerged from th
