My arms wrapped tighter around his neck, pulling him closer. Our hearts beat fast at every minute. Burke's hand found my right boobs, and he pressed unto it gently, making me moan. Burke’s kisses trailed down my neck, sending shivers. I moaned softly. His lips returned to mine, the kiss intensifying, and our emotions running wild. Time stood still. Just as our passion peaked… A knock sounded on Burke's door. Catherine gets wrappers with her Alpha lover after he abandoned her seven years ago. But she was already in a relationship with a human, called Jaxon Pace. Would she go back to her Alpha, or she will stay with her present lover, Jaxon Pace.

CATHERINE'S POV
This will mark the second month since I had left My pack. I sat on the hospital chair, rested my head on the wall, my eyes staring at everyone that passes by while waiting for my test result. For a few days now I have been feeling sick and I decided to do a check- up.
As I stared at passers-by I couldn't help myself from going down memory lane, my mind went to the day my heart got shattered by Burke Michealson.
The events that happened that day began to flood my memory, I had never really forgotten about what happened as it left an imprint in my heart, the whispers of the crowd began to fill up my head.
"Sereca" the crowd whispered within themselves and I stood perplexed.
Sereca walked towards Burke, and he held her hands passionately. I saw the way he squeezed it gently and gave her a gentle stare, I could see the love in his eyes.
An awkward smile crept to the corner of Seneca's lips, I could not tell if it was genuine or fake.
Without prior notice tears clouded my vision and I could see Burke was trying very hard to avoid my eyes, last night probably meant nothing to him I thought to myself.
"Get off the road," one of Burke's guards yelled, it was then I realized that I had been standing on the way, I moved to the corner and stood in front of a tree, trying very hard to contain the tears as I didn't want to be the center of attention or create a scene.
Burke and I have been best friends since my foster parents died, which was twelve years ago although we treated ourselves as siblings Burke had always been my crush since I was a child, I didn't want to ruin our beautiful friendship we were the envy of the pack, everyone felt what we shared was beautiful, he would stand up for me when I was in danger and I would do the same for him.
But the previous night things changed, we had taken our friendship to another level, at least I thought we had. He was whispering affectionate words into my ears when we were intimate the previous night.
I placed my hands on my neck, and flashes of him kissing my neck passionately flooded my mind.
But it is quite clear to know that it was just a one-night stand for him, as what happened didn't change his mind about me, another girl is going to be his Luna afterall. Sereca was his mate though, the moon goddess had chosen her from the onset. That's the reason my heart is broken.
To think I was very excited for his coronation and now it turned out to be the worst day of my life, I couldn’t contain the tears anymore, they flowed down freely from my eyes, I turned away quickly, from the sight of Sereca and Burke kissing passionately and I blocked my ears from hearing the cheers of the people in the pack.
Twenty years of living and I have never felt this heartbroken, not even when my foster parents died, I figured just covering my ears and closing my eyes wouldn't take the pain away, I took hasty step out of the coronation and wedding arena I didn't want Burke to notice I was gone, like he even cared.
I ran very fast, to prevent myself from doing something stupid. When I got to my house, I collapsed on the floor and cried my eyes out, yelling and wailing like someone who just lost her child. I lost my friendship with Burke and also the only family member I had, and he did not just leave me alone, he broke my heart. I was gasping for air as I cried out loudly, my hands cleaning off the tears and catarrh, I was a mess
“Just leave this pack and get your life together” I thought to myself but I quickly shoved off the thoughts. I grew up in this pack, and leaving the pack will mean I am leaving all the memories of my foster parents behind, and I don't intend to do that.
I managed to get up from the floor and went to the window, as I heard the cheers of the people.
"Sereca and Bruke" they all jubilated, at that instant I realized that leaving the pack was the best option I had.
I hastily took out my savings and counted it, and luckily the money was more than enough to get out of the pack and move to the city.
I'd move to Chicago, and get enrolled in a medical school, I had always wanted that because my foster mother was a herbalist, and she loved medicine, I knew it would also help take the pain away
I arranged my clothes and stepped out of my house. My eyes darted to the forest, and little children playing, a weak smile crossed my lips because I knew this would be the last time I'd be seeing this.
My eyes were already swollen and red from crying, I inhaled deeply, taking in the atmosphere of the environment one last time, before I started my Journey.
Now in Chicago, trying to chase my dreams, it has not been easy, but I’ll keep struggling.
"Why are you here?" A man who sat beside me asked, lost in my thoughts I didn't notice someone had sat beside me until he spoke to me.
I turned to look at him, and damn he is so handsome, his pretty blue eyes stared directly at me, it was like he was seeing through my soul.
For some seconds, I lost the ability to speak, there were no reasonable words that were forming in my brain. He just gave me a smile before stretching a hand in my direction.
"I am Jaxon Pace", he said.
"I…I… I am Catherine Tyler" I said stuttering, I took his hand into a handshake, and he winked at me.
“Shit, my cheeks are red, hope he did not see that”, I thought to myself.
"So why are you here?" He asked again, with a smile, as he placed his hands on his hips.
I bit my lips, unable to say a word, even when I knew why I was there, and it made him chuckle.
"I came here for some regular check-up," I said, after finding my voice.
"That makes the two of us," he replied.
He shrugged his shoulders, still giving me a genuine smile.
“How can a man be this handsome”, I said to myself whilst staring at him with the corner of my eyes, Burke flashed my thoughts and it occurred to me that he was way handsome.
“Shit, I shouldn't be thinking of Burke”. I thought to myself.
I kept stealing glances at him when he was not aware, and he caught me .
"I can see you look at me each time I turn away," he said, with a light laugh, which quickly disappeared from his face.
"What?" I faked ignorance, just immediately the nurse came to save me from the awkward situation.
"Miss Tyler, here is your test result," she said with a smile, like she gave me some good news.
"Congratulations mam," she said, before excusing herself.
" What can a hospital bring that will be a piece of good news to me at the moment”? I looked at the nurse in shock as she walked out.
With haste, I tore open the test result and froze on my seat after reading it.
“Shit, I am pregnant.”
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND EIGHTYCATHERINE’S POVI couldn't say a word when I found Burke on his knees, I sure wasn't expecting to apologize this way but I am glad he did.“Hayley should never have been here babe, it has always been you I have loved you from the very start, I love you, I love the kids you bore for me, I don't know where to start from, I want you to know that I didn't sleep with Hayley, I never have and I never will it was a setup, gosh I am a fuckup why did I ever believe that I slept with her in the first place,", he said.
