Caitlyn's POV
I sidestepped to evade the attack of the werewolf standing before me, masquerading as my father. Just then, a cacophony of noise erupted from outside the church, signaling that we had been part of their plans since the moment we breached in."You go first, I'll handle this," Bard commanded coldly, standing guard at the doorway with a stern expression. The heavy, blunt footsteps outside, akin to a horn urging me forward, sank my heart."Let's deal with the immediate threat," I urged. Seeing his failed strike, the werewolf in front of me grew annoyed and transformed into a wolf in the confined space. With a bloody mouth, it lunged straight at me. I even caught a whiff of the strong fishy odor emanating from its body."Go to hell!" I shouted. Just as I contemplated transforming into a wolf myself, Bard swiftly spun around and with a forceful blow, knocked the werewolf aside. It crashed into the hard wall, whimpering in pain."It must be Yone who pCaitlyn's POV My boyfriend Jayce was a werewolf, yes, just like the image that came to your mind. However, he didn't usually run around suddenly on all fours in a quiet forest under a full moon, and he was not like those TV shows with a wolf's head on the top half and a human torso in leggings on the bottom half. Most of the time, he appeared almost human, except for the occasional amber pupil, a bit of extra muscle, some financial stability, a consistent approach to love, and a touch of charisma, but not much more than that. Jayce was destined to become the future Alpha of our Purple Moon Pack. And yes, even though I was a human, I still belonged to a family of werewolves, given that my father was a werewolf. The bond between werewolf and human wasn't as common, but it was still accepted within the pack. We spent five incredibly sweet years together, and just yesterday, he told me he intended to marry me this year and made me the Luna of the pack. "What makes you smile l
Caitlyn's POV"Did you have a pleasant night?" My father, settled in the cozy living room, offered a casual wave, his approval for Jayce always evident."Not bad," I replied, withholding certain details. Retreating to my room, my mind became a whirlpool fixated on what had happened tonight. I wrestled with my pillows to prop myself up, and soon I fell asleep with a heavy heart.Late at night, I woke up from a vivid and lengthy nightmare.In this dream, I experienced a surreal fall through an abyss of darkness, where fragmented rays of light swirled around me. Amidst this chaotic setting, I heard Jayce professing his love for Morgana, while Morgana's unsettling laughter echoed in the background.I labored to rise, the late night enshrouding me. My heart lay heavy, a burden of stone, suffocating my breath. Without knowing how much time passed, I turned off my cell phone and drove aimlessly through the city until I arrived at a lavishly decorated bar.I had never visited such a place
Caitlyn's POVWhen I groggily opened my eyes, I realized that everything around me appeared rather unfamiliar, but the ache in my body served as a reminder of last night's escapade. With newfound alertness, I sat up, only to find the room empty and abandoned. There, on the nightstand beside me, lay a key with a note tucked underneath."This is a gift for you, little wildcat."I remained frozen in place, partly due to my own indulgence the previous night, and partly because of my surprise at the man's unexpected generosity. However, reason prevailed, and I left the keys where they were, escaping the house as if I were fleeing from something dreadful.Sitting in the car on my way home, I retrieved my cell phone from my bag. As soon as I turned it on, a flood of messages came pouring in—most of them from Leona's calls, interspersed with a few brief messages from my father.In the depths of despair, not a single message from Jayce had reached me, leaving me feeling utterly abandoned by
Caitlyn's POVLike a wretched specter, I returned to my own graveyard, my mind plagued by confusion. The experiences of the past few days left me feeling as if the world around me had turned surreal and unfamiliar. In a haze, I heard a sharp knock on the door, followed by the familiar voice of my father."Caitlyn, it's time to get up. Jayce is here," he said.At the mention of Jayce's name, my heart clenched violently, as if pricked by a needle. I was still trying to come to terms with the pain of his betrayal while attempting to adapt to my new identity: that of a forsaken woman left by her fiancé. Though my heart was shattered, I was determined not to reveal my despair in front of him. Unaware of the events of the previous night, my father made small talk with Jayce outside the door. "Caitlyn is always sleeping until noon," he said.I hurriedly composed myself, tidying my disheveled hair and wiping away the traces of tears from the night before. Just then, Jayce entered the room
Caitlyn's POV"What are you up to?" Jayce's voice cut through the air like a sharp blade, fixing an angry gaze on Swain, who momentarily froze but quickly composed himself.With a sycophantic grin on his face, Swain replied, "Oh, nothing. I'm just assisting you in teaching this shameless woman a lesson. Her very existence is a disgrace to our esteemed Purple Moon Pack.""Get lost!" Jayce retorted sharply, causing Swain to glare at me indignantly before reluctantly stepping aside."Caitlyn, are you alright?" Jayce's concern showed in his gentle frown as he turned to me."Yes, I'm as fine as can be," I responded, finally breaking my silence. "Did you come here to express sympathy and comfort me? Or was it just to flaunt your new girlfriend, who, I must admit, is stunningly beautiful?"My words seemed to catch Jayce off guard, leaving him not knowing how to respond. Until then, I had always played the role of understanding and kind girlfriend, but my outburst had shattered that image."I
Caitlyn's POV Jayce leaned wearily against the wall, one hand clutching his chest as he struggled to catch his breath. "Jayce! Do you know what you're doing?" My father, Pantheon, snapped in a chilling and stentorian voice. "You should ask your daughter what she did!" "I never had sex with Caitlyn, but she cheated on me, and now she's pregnant with someone else's child! She tricked you all!" Jayce looked at me and yelled and tried to prove his innocence. I turned my head around to face my father who now stood upright before me. Age had etched its marks on his face, but in that moment, his eyes blazed with anger and determination. "Father!" I called out, realizing that the man standing there was none other than my own father, Pantheon. He must have discovered the pregnancy test I had discarded in the trash. "Pantheon, you disappoint me. I shall report today's events truthfully to the Alpha. Those who engage with outsiders will be banished from the pack," Jayce declared s
Caitlyn's POVAfter my father had spoken to me, I spent the following week engulfed in fear, dreading the possibility of the Alpha and his soldiers from the pack coming after us. But true to my father's words, everything remained remarkably calm.Time passed, and soon it was the day of Morgana and Jayce's mating ceremony.The mating ceremony was scheduled to take place in the evening, with the customary vows exchanged in front of the moon god.The members of the pack were all elegantly attired, and various glowing pack totems encircled the venue, while a mesmerizing bonfire flickered at the center, casting a mysterious and solemn glow on the faces of the attendees.Leona and I were the sole exceptions at this joyous celebration; we sat in a corner, observing the proceedings with a cold detachment. "Hmph, to be honest, she can't hold a candle to you. If you were wearing that dress, you'd be a hundred... No, ten thousand times more beautiful than her!""Stop it. Luckily, I saw Jayce's
Caitlyn's POVUpon hearing that familiar voice, I couldn't fathom the situation, yet my entire body inexplicably relaxed, only to tense up again with each gesture of his hand.I had been coerced by this person!"You... What is it you want?"Seizing the momentary relaxation of his grip, I implored impatiently. After all, we were still within the territory of the Purple Moon Pack, and with such a significant incident having occurred, the security would be tighter than usual."What was that you said?"His deep, velvety voice permeated my ear, and I could even sense his breath, rough and warm.Just then, hurried footsteps approached from the side; evidently, the soldiers from earlier were scouring the area.A glimmer of hope flickered inside me. All I needed to do was make a sound to attract their attention.Yet, his hand gently clasped my neck, even in the darkness, revealing his pale wrist. His touch was delicate, akin to a woman's hand, but I had no doubt he could end my life in an ins
