Catherine pov.I ran towards him, my heart pounding in my chest, and threw my arms around him in a tight embrace. "Lux," I cried, burying my face in his shoulder, feeling safe and free in his arms.I pulled away from him, still confused about how he had managed to find me. "How did you find me?" I asked, my eyes searching his face for answers.Suddenly, Lucas appeared, holding a knife in his hand, and began to laugh as he looked at both of us. "I see you followed me, brother," he chuckled, turning his attention to me. "Look what you did, Princess. Why? Don't you love me?"As Lucas walked towards me, Lux pulled me behind him, stepping forward to face his brother. "Zuke, you have to stop this. Maybe we can sort things out, please," he said, his voice filled with sorrow.I watched as Lucas stared at me, a smile on his lips that quickly turned into laughter. "You see, even my brother thinks I'm crazy. That's why no one ever loved me," he said, tears streaming down his face as he turned to

Catherine pov.For a week now, my life has been perfect. Lux had forgiven me, and we were both having a great time. I felt at peace just knowing that Lucas was gone and now Lux and I could live in harmony.The sight of Lux's bright smile and the sparkle in his eyes as we spent time together was enough to make my heart sing. The way he smelled, of pine and musk, was intoxicating, and every time he laughed, it felt like music to my ears.Whenever we touched, whether it was a gentle caress or a tight embrace, I felt like I was home. It was as if our bodies were made to fit together perfectly, and every touch was like a balm for my soul.Metaphorically speaking, being with Lux was like stepping into a warm bath on a cold day or sinking into a soft bed after a long day of work. He was my safe haven, my refuge from the world.I had finally mustered up the courage to tell the Alpha of the Shadow Moon pack that I had fallen in love with Lux and wanted to be with him. To my relief, he accepted

Catherine pov.I slowly opened my eyes, taking in my surroundings. The sun was peeking through the blinds, casting a warm glow across the room. As I sat up, I couldn't help but feel a slight throbbing in my head, like a tiny drum beating in my temple.I raised my hand to my face, rubbing my forehead, trying to ease the pain. I struggled to recall the events of the previous night, but my memory was hazy at best. Despite the confusion, I was relieved to find that I was fully dressed.A thought crossed my mind, and I smiled to myself, wondering if Lux was the one who dressed me up after I changed back into my human form.Just then, the door creaked open, and Lux walked in, his face beaming with a smile. "You're awake," he said, his voice filled with excitement. I walked over to him and placed my hands on his face, planting a soft kiss on his lips."Thanks, Lux," I said, feeling grateful for his help. He stood there, smiling at me, his eyes shining with affection."How are you feeling?" h

Catherine pov.I opened my eyes, slowly, and stood up, my hand immediately going to my head. I felt disoriented and out of sorts, like I had been spinning around for hours. As I took a deep breath and looked around the room, I noticed that Lux was nowhere to be seen.Taking a step forward, I felt a strange sensation in my legs, like they were made of jelly. I wobbled for a moment, trying to regain my balance, and that's when Lux walked into the room.He didn't say hello, or even look at me for that matter. Instead, he walked towards me with a worried expression on his face."Lux," I called out to him, trying to get his attention. He lifted his head up slowly, as if in a trance, and looked at me."Cat," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. It was then that I realized something was really wrong.As he got closer, he wrapped his arms around me tightly, holding me as if he was afraid to let me go."Thank God you're back," he said, his voice muffled by my shoulder.I pulled away from

Lux pov.Watching her this way, I felt as if I had been keeping a lot of secrets from her lately. The sunlight danced on her hair, and her sweet scent filled the room. The sound of birds chirping outside added to the serenity of the moment. But seeing her getting hurt again, I just didn't want that.For the past two years, Lora had been taken over by an obsession to find my brother and kill him once and for all. I tried to tell her that Zuku was dead, but she kept on saying he wasn't. I couldn't understand why she thought Zuku was dead and how she came to know that she was after Cat, not Andrew.I looked down at Cat, who kept on smiling as she stared out the window. The room was filled with the aroma of her favorite flowers, and the gentle touch of the breeze caressed her hair. She was hurting because her son didn't want to see or talk to her.After a lot of sitting there, I found out she had already fallen asleep, and I slowly placed her head on the pillow as I stood up and walked ou
