ALPHA JACE. I jumped out of Austin’s Wrangler Jeep even before he could halt the car and made my way to where Maddox was. He was standing on neutral territory with just a gate barrier between us. “What are you doing here?” I got straight to the point. “I want my mate.” He answered. “She’s not here.” “Where did you take her?” “It’s none of your business.” I tried to speak in a calm manner despite his snapping at me. “Go home.” “She’s my mate! You have no fucking right to take her away from me!” “Catherine has not decided yet. Until then, she’s free to decide where she wants to stay.” “Let me in. Or I will force my way in!” “Fuck off! What in the fucking world did you not understand that she’s not here?” “Let me talk to any of your men and see if they could lie under my command.” He said it arrogantly. I had no idea if he was being stupid or just plain ignorant. He could roll off an Alpha command to my men, but I could always counter it with mine to stop them from speaking
TYLER.“Now, get ready. We are going inside.” The Luna said, and I nodded in response.“I’m not sure this is a good idea, Clair.” Alpha Jake’s voice stopped us from walking toward the door. “What if they can’t control themselves? Do you know how hard it was to keep myself away from you? And I’m sure even if Tyler can’t smell her, if Catherine keeps coming to him, he will definitely give in.”“Like how you gave in to my heat?” The Luna chuckled softly before her eyes flitted with determination as she stared back at her mate. “You have no idea how painful this kind of heat is, Jake. Your cock was hurting, but imagine what it is like for females when our cores and our whole bodies are on fire, plus the intense lust dominating all of our senses. I suffered for hours on my own, and I would never wish it for anyone, more so for my own daughter, but I’m not giving her to Maddox. Tyler is my ONLY option.”The Alpha remained quiet. He knew better than to argue this time.“If they cross the lin
CATHERINE.My eyes widened as I watched him unbuckle his belt and zip down his pants.He pulled them down before taking off his shirt, giving me a full view of his ripped, naked body. I was sure my pussy was leaking, but this time I knew it was leaking just for him.He was already naked when he walked to the bathroom’s small window and opened it. “Fuck, Catherine! You smell so fucking sweet, and if I’m not thinking straight, I will ravish you until you can’t stand anymore!” His voice was so beastly — the same one he would have whenever he feasted on my body.My hands held onto the walls. I wanted to go to him, but I knew I shouldn’t. My legs trembled while I watched him sit in his chair, so I slowly closed it.“Stop!” He growled, and it made me nervous and aroused at the same time. “Spread it wider. Show me the pussy that belonged to me, Catherine.”I moaned at the sexy way he said it, and like a lovesick female, I opened my legs — wider than they should be without taking my eyes off
CATHERINE. I leaned back against his chest before closing my eyes and letting my hand slip inside the blanket to begin to touch myself. Soon, I felt cold air on my pussy as the blanket was shoved off. “I want to see you. Open them wider.” He said, and I obeyed. “Good girl.” “Now, sugar lips, who owns you?” He asked, his mouth pressing against the crown of my head. “Tyler… Beta Tyler owns me. Body and soul. And my whole heart...” I moaned as my hands aggressively massaged my folds before I penetrated my pussy with my fingers. I thought I would use the toys Amara gave me, but my fingers and Tyler’s warmth were enough to keep me going. “I love you, Catherine…” He said it in a loving voice as tears trickled down my face. I fucked myself again and again as he kept murmuring words of love and devotion to me. And if I ever doubted that this man loved me, I would never question it again. I felt his cock prodding on my back, but he wasn’t moving. He didn’t buck his hips or move his h
TYLER.“Fuck me, Tyler.” Catherine’s voice was breaking, and there was nothing in the world I wanted at the moment but to do that, to make the asshole pay for hurting her. But I knew I shouldn’t.“Look at me, baby… You can do this.” I kept holding her face and trying to calm her down, but I knew with her heat and the pain shooting in her chest, I was asking for an impossible thing.More tears poured down her cheeks as she shook her head, and my broken heart kept breaking.“You don’t understand. My heart and my body feel like they are being ripped apart. If he has a lover, the best he could do is do what we are doing until we reject each other.” She said in between her sobs. “But he’s an asshole!”I was sure he was not with his lover. Austin told me he went to the border with just males, and no females were with them. His territory was more than ten hours away from here, and unless he took his female with him and left her somewhere, I was sure he picked up some random girl along the
CATHERINE. I fell asleep sobbing in Tyler’s arms, and when I woke up, he was already awake, or maybe he didn’t sleep at all. He was sitting on the couch adjacent to my bed, just staring at me. A weak smile tugged at my mouth as I looked at him. “Good morning. Did you sleep?” He smiled before he stood up and walked toward me. He shook his head as he spoke. “I couldn’t sleep. But I’m okay. I was content watching you the whole night.” “Are you afraid I will attack you if I find you sleeping?” I joked. He chuckled, but he didn’t answer. He stopped beside me and leaned down before pressing a kiss on my forehead. “Did you sleep well? How do you feel?” “My chest is still heavy, but I feel okay.” “Show me your wrist.” I raised my arm, and there were still visible scratch marks on my skin, but they were fading already. Tyler held my wrist and let his fingers caress the area where the marks were. “Can we keep this from my family?” I asked, and my words made him snap his head to look a
CATHERINE. “I will forgive you for what you did last night if you come home with me,” Maddox said in complete arrogance as if I were the one who committed a crime. “I’m not asking for your forgiveness, and I’m not going to. We both know who’s at fault here. Now, let go of my face.” I said, giving him a stern look. “Or what? You will call your brother to save you?” He snorted. He didn’t let go, and I slapped his hand on my cheek before I pried his fingers away from my skin harshly. I heard Jace growl from somewhere, but I mindlinked him to let me handle this. “Just give me the rejection, and we can both move on. You can be with the female you fucked last night.” I hissed at him. “It’s a shame there were two of them, and I only needed one Luna.” My heart clenched in pain. Despite my whole mind hating him, my heart and soul were still attached to him. Purity growled in my head as anger coursed through her whole body. I felt my eyes dilate, and Maddox was not as stupid as I though
CATHERINE. The car stopped in front of the packhouse, and I saw Tyler standing on the top of the steps with a face devoid of any emotions. And then I saw my parents’ car on the side of the house. They were here as well. “Did you tell Mom?” I asked Jace. “Yes. I’m sorry, I need to let it out.” Jace said without looking at me, his hands still gripping the steering wheel tightly. “To Tyler as well?” “Yes…” “Why?” I asked in a broken voice, but I didn’t wait for his answer as I opened the door. My heart was in pain for what I did, but I could only imagine what Tyler was feeling at the moment. I had seen this coming, and I was sure he did too because we had talked about this topic many times, but I knew it would still be hard to take. I didn’t waste time and jumped out of the car, rushing to where he was. I was already halfway on my way to him when he let his guard down, and the pain flashed on his expression. His eyes watered, and the tough facade I was putting on came crumbling d
