CATHERINE. I sat in the bed with my back against the headboard and watched Tyler put on his clothes after he went for a quick shower to take off my scent from him. And as much as I wanted to shower with him, I knew doing so would delay him from starting his day. “Will I see you at breakfast?” I asked. “I’m not sure, but I will link with you.” “Can you keep your mindlink open for me the whole day?” “Of course. And if I don’t see you at breakfast, I’ll check on you whenever I’m at the packhouse. So let me know if you are going somewhere.” “I’ll just be here until the ceremony. The makeup artist will come here instead, so I don’t see me going anywhere.” “Good…” He smiled at me as he slipped on his pants. “Tyler… what if I meet my mate tonight?” His head shot up, and he looked at me as he put on his shirt before he placed his hands on his hips. He let out a deep breath before he spoke. “The choice will always be yours. But my request is still the same. Don’t rush, and give me a

TYLER.“Announcing the arrival of Lady Catherine Gertrude Galhart of the Black Shadow Pack together with Gamma Austin Joseph Monterell of the Black Shadow Pack.”The door opened, and Austin and Catherine came into view. The room fell silent, or maybe my ears tuned out everything, not wanting to hear if someone would claim her on the spot. I blinked back my tears as I let my eyes focus on her and how beautiful she looked tonight.She wore a shimmering light blue gown that accentuated all her curves. Only Luna Amara was allowed to wear a full midnight blue gown tonight, while the former Luna only had half of her dress designed with the pack color, while Catherine carried a blue of a different shade. But I knew she could be in simple clothes and still be the most beautiful female in the ballroom.I watched as Catherine smiled and walked with Austin.I restrained myself from looking at all the unmated males around us and remained focused on her. I didn’t want to miss her expression. I d

CATHERINE. “I’m sure I like you a little bit more than Purity, just as Black likes Purity a little bit more than you. Is that fair enough?” Tyler said. “Good. Now, explain to my wolf why you like me a bit more.” I giggled, but I was not able to reply as Tyler had begun kissing me again, and he was doing it aggressively. I stopped giggling and kissed him back. His hands fumbled to unbutton my pants before tugging them down, and I kicked them off my feet. He then got hold of my top, yanked it up, and pulled it off my head before tossing it to the side. I pulled away from him with an amused look on my face. “We are shifting into our wolves, but why do I feel like we are about to have sex with the way you were taking off my clothes?” “Are you complaining?” He asked as he licked his lips. I was only left with my bra and panties on, and they were laced ones, so I was sure he could see my nipples and newly shaved pussy. “No.” I rolled my eyes at him before I unclasped my bra, letting

**FLASHBACK** Tyler - 10 years oldCatherine - 8 years TYLER. “Are we there yet?” She asked for the hundredth time in the last forty-five minutes, and although this place was not too far from the packhouse and I could walk and run to reach it in less than thirty minutes, it was taking us longer as Catherine had small feet, and from time to time, she would stop and smell the wildflowers along the way. But I didn’t mind at all. It was a weekend, and I had all day to spend with her as Jace was spending time with Uncle Jake. “Soon,” I answered curtly, watching as she spread her arms open and lowered her hands so she could touch the tall grasses and wildflowers as she walked forward. “But you said it’s not too far. It is… too far!” She emphasized the last four words. I knew she was complaining already, but the good thing about Catherine is that she would complain, but she would continue to do whatever task was at hand. “You walked too slowly, and your footsteps were too small. That

TYLER. Black, just like me, was fighting against himself to stop my fangs from elongating. And I couldn’t be more grateful for that. If Black was not doing this, I had no idea how to stop myself from doing it. As soon as I was able to control my urge to mark her, I lowered my head, trailing kisses from her neck to her collarbone until I reached the valley of her breasts while my hands were skimming over her naked skin. I let myself enjoy this moment. I had dreamed of touching and kissing her, worshiping every part of her body, and my emotions overwhelmed me. More than the act of fucking, I was overly emotional that she was allowing me to do this with her. I knew Catherine was still a virgin and that she had saved herself for me. “Tyler,” Catherine whimpered, her hands clutching my shoulders tightly as my tongue circled her erected nipple before I sucked it and bit it gently. I slid my body up, taking her hands with me before pinning them over her head. A smug smirk crossed my f

CATHERINE. “Wake up, sleepy head.” Tyler’s voice awoke me from my sleep. I had a good dream, but I knew reality was far better than it, so I forced myself to open my eyes despite the soreness I felt. And I was right — seeing him was far better than what dreams were made of. “Good morning, beautiful.” His smiling face welcomed me, and the warmth I felt intensified tenfold. We were still in the meadow. I fell asleep after Tyler took me twice for our first time together. And I had no idea what the time was, but it was still dark. Tyler was leaning against the tree while I sat sideways in front of him, his arms still around me. I was not the one to fall asleep while sitting, but maybe because I was too sore and tired, I eventually did, or perhaps because Tyler’s arms around me felt like home, like he was my personal bed. “Hi…” I kept my head tilted up. His lips found me, and pressed a kiss against my temple. “I know I should let you sleep, but the sun is about to rise. I want

TYLER. I didn’t see Catherine for the rest of the day. She was not at breakfast this morning, but I didn’t mind as I knew she was catching up on her sleep. However, I did check on her before I continued with my work, and we had been mind-linking each other throughout the day. And although we were just starting with this relationship, everything felt natural. It was like we’d been doing this our whole lives. Somehow, this was true, as Catherine and I had always been inseparable. The only difference was that we could finally tell each other what we felt for one another since there was no reason for me not to show or tell her I loved her. That feeling was enough to get me through the day. Jace didn’t work today as his and the Luna’s families were around, so Austin and I took charge, but there was nothing to worry about as it was the weekend. We just needed to ensure everything was in order after last night’s ceremony. It was almost time for dinner when I headed back to the packhouse.
THE BETA AND I Chapter 23
CATHERINE.Time moved too fast, and before I knew it, four weeks had gone by since I came home. I moved into Tyler’s room on the second floor, but our room on the third floor was almost done. We had two regular rooms renovated and made one. Although I was only limited to shopping online for the furniture we needed, it was still an exciting experience for me. Tyler had been nothing but loving and supportive, as well as our whole family.Everything felt surreal, but even though I was thoroughly happy, I constantly feared that everything would be taken away and I would hit another rock bottom. But despite that fear, I didn’t let it deter me from moving forward.The last four weeks have given me many facts and realities: Tyler loved me, there was no doubt about it, as I felt and basked in it every single day; our families and friends would walk with us through all of this until I got Tyler’s mark in my neck; but the hardest one would always be, the reality that if I got mated to a rank
