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
'Catrina I don't like it. I don't like it at all' Dawn mutters in her head. Meanwhile, Catrina had to attempt to appear calm as she walked deeper into the hall.'Ugh, they all dislike our weak wolf aura.'Although Werewolf and Lycan are equivalent and look the same in appearance, they are locked in a fierce battle of mortal enemies in Dakota. They hate each other. Werewolves despised flawed Lycans, while Lycans hated low-ranked werewolves.So as soon as they entered the Lester family manor area, Catrina couldn't escape the judgy glare of these guests, who are mostly Lycans.'Don't worry. They won't hurt us. I trust Theo.' Catrina tried to calm her wolf.Theo guided her through the crowd of guests, who respectfully nodded at him but gave her disdainful glances."We're going to meet my eldest brother first." Theo said, when all of a sudden, someone from the side shouted."Baby brother!"Theo and Catrina turned to the source of the sound. "Kai!"Kai ran in their direction. The brothers
"Mom?"Theo's mother ran towards them, her palms flying to cover her mouth as she anxiously inspected Theo's face. "Who did this to you?" Catrina took a step back, letting the Lycan queen have space with her son."No worries! I'm okay now. This wound is nothing." Theo said, clasping his mother's hand. "Catrina has treated me.""Catrina?" Then the Lycan queen seemed to notice another person standing with them."Who are you, girl?""Your majesty, I'm Catrina Marine." Catrina offered her most graceful bow to Theo's mother. "I-""Mom, she is my mate. We have been together since last year."The Lycan queen was taken aback. "Your mate?"She never expected that her son, who she thought would never find his destined mate, would show up at the mansion with a woman he said he'd been claiming for a whole year.That made her extremely happy. "Son, you're not trying to trick me, are you? Why didn't you bring her here the moment you claimed her?Catrina released the breath she didn't realise she h
"Can't you stay out of my bussiness and leave me the fuck alone?" As Catrina finished her thought, she gulped for air.She no longer cared if she spilled all her frustration on Carlo in front of the audience because she hated how he always did anything with violence and just stirred up more trouble.Little did she know that what she did sparked a wrath within him."What do you mean?" He turned his full attention to her and asked His hand clasped her right upper arm in a tight grip."I-" Catrina stammered to respond.And then he took one step forward, and she realised it was too late for her to comprehend the consequences of her actions. Not only did she insult him, but she also humiliated him in front of the entire audience and the Lester family."Let go of me. I'm not your Luna. I don't belong to you." A gasp escaped her mouth as her grip tightened."Carlo." Zeke stepped up, intending to stop his Alpha, whom he knew was already angry, but Carlo raised his hand, making Zeke stop in h
Theo.Carlo's wolf pinned me to the floor,His claws were poised right at my ribcage, and with a single move, I knew he could rip my heart out.I had run out of energy and shifted back into my human form. Blood was dripping onto the floor from deep, long wounds where he clawed and tore the skin on my back.The beast examined me closely; I was his prey, about to die tonight. Right at that moment, another shadow suddenly lunged at him and got him off of my body.I used the momentum to swiftly get back on my feet while the grey wolf restrained Carlo, who was emitting a fierce growl. It was his beta, Zeke, who stopped him from killing me.And then someone suddenly pulled me up; it was Aaron, my second older brother."Take Prince Theo to his room and take care of his wound. My father ordered our guards, and they took me and Aaron away from the hall."Where is Catrina?" I brushed their grips away from me angrily."My prince, please. You lost a lot of blood.""Fuck you. Where is she, idiot?
That was the reason Carlo said this Omega was his Luna in front of everyone. Maybe that's the truth; they even have a pup.'But something happened between them that made her deny him and try to hide from him. And now Theo has a hand in this matter,' Kai thought."What about Theo now? We should go back to the mansion to save him. His life is at stake if we don't help him soon. Catrina panic.Now at least she could breathe a sigh or be relieved knowing Lacie was safe since she had been moved from her apartment to a place that neither Carlo nor his men knew about. But Theo wasn't saved yet; he was still in the mansion, in a fight with Carlo that could take his life at any moment. Catrina has to save him."My brother will be okay. You don't have to worry about him; he is not that weak. And no matter how much my father hates him, he will not let his son die at the hands of the enemy. But if I bring you before my father..."Catrina fell into silence. The Lycan king and queen now despise her
Catrina."I'll be careful, Mommy; no worries. My daughter made a small jump along the meadow grass, trying to catch this little butterfly that was flying all over the place.I kept an eye on Lacie, who was having a good time, to make sure she didn't run too far into the woods. When I saw her brilliant smile, I felt like 99% of my problems had vanished.'Mommy will do whatever it takes to make you always happy, sweetheart.' I lay my buttocks and my back down on the grass while resting on my elbow. Down the street, I saw my new neighbours, a couple with two kids, a girl and a boy, getting their groceries out of the car.As their kids playfully dashed into the house, I noticed the parents beaming with joy. Then the man pulled the woman closer and planted a kiss on her forehead.Their smiles were so infectious to me. I instantly knew they were mates. Mates who were able to live together without any obstacles between them and raise their pups together. They're living the life I've always
