Every one of the pack members was gathered in the hall. Rasmus was right beside his sister. Xander and Emma stood to her left. Cath, Hunter, Angela, Luca, Clarke, Reid, Davis, Adriel, Agatha, all of them were there except Silvia, she had left right after Catherine's wedding. She left without even saying goodbye, just leaving a note behind for Clarke and Reid not to worry about her and nor to look for her.Davis brought the cake and Cath along with Angela set the candlelights.Aurora was smiling shyly. Angela and Cath had lifted her mood after her talk with Luca."Make a wish," Angela chirped as Luca glared at her. Feeling his gaze on her she glanced at him and scrunched her nose while poking out her tongue at him.He rolled his eyes at her tactics.Aurora closed her eyes as she wished to have the most caring and loving man as her mate. She opened her eyes and blew out the candles. Grabbing the knife she cut the cake as everyone cheered and wished her happy birthday.She fed the cake t
5 months later. "Baby, what can I do, please tell me." Rasmus's soft voice was heard but Cath only glared at him. "I don't know. I'm just angry. Stop looking at me. No... bring me ice cream. No... I don't even know what I'm craving. This is scary that I don't even know what I want. Why are you staring at me? I look like a fat potato. Oh my God... I'm not beautiful anymore..." She was blabbering nonstop. A soft smile graced his lips as he watched her quietly. She woke up in the middle of the night saying she wanted his attention and now she was talking nonstop. She has been like this for the past few months. His mom said that these were the pregnancy perks or something of that sort. He didn't complain. "You are even more beautiful now." He mused and her jaw slacked, eyes watering up. She was also being too emotional these days. "Stop it..." She says dramatically while swaying her hand. "I need ice cream," She muttered. "Just five minutes, baby." He said as he walked out of the r
She sat in the corner of the darkroom on the cold tiled floor, hugging her knees to her chest as tears kept pouring out of her eyes. She didn't wipe them away. She was in agony. Her heart pained and she just couldn't stop this ache. Somehow she knew the pain was related to him. It was all because of him. Why does he have so much effect on her? She wasn't this weak before. "Catherine." His deep voice resonated in the coldness of the room causing the hair on her nape to stand up. She hid her face in her arms and curled more into herself. She didn't want to see him. She didn't even want to hear his voice. She heard his heavy footsteps approaching as he stopped right in front of her. Her knuckles and nails turned white with the pressure she was grasping her arms. "Catherine." This time his voice appeared broken and sad. Why was he sounding as if he was in pain? He shouldn't act like that. He should be happy. "I'm... I'm sorry." His words were a small whisper but she heard them loud
The loud blaring of the alarm made her groan in annoyance as she grabbed her phone and turned it off before pushing her head back into the comfort of her pillows. Barely a sigh of relief escaped her lips when there was a loud knocking on her door. "Go away." She mumbled but she already knew what followed so she covered her face in the quilt when her door opened and light footsteps were heard, followed by the opening of the curtains, so evil rays of sunlight would destroy her peaceful slumber. "Martha, stop!" Catherine complained groggily as the middle-aged woman started to pull her quilt making her clutch it even more tightly. "Wake up young lady. You'll be late for University." Martha said as she abruptly yanked the quilt away from her causing Catherine to squeal when cold air caressed her skin. God, she hates this. "You are evil," Catherine complained as she sat up on her bed and rubbed her eyes while yawning and stretching. "Of course. I know that honey. Now go take a shower
Mr. Steve stopped the car at the main gate of the campus. Catherine said thank you and hopped out before Mr. Steve would come out and open the door for her. She swung her bag back on her shoulder and started to walk in. The eyes came on her instantly. She was one of the famous ones here. She and her gang. It was her first year in university and already she has a gang of best friends they already gathered a lot of fame around here with their stupid pranks and fun all the time. She barely stepped into the corridor when a shrill voice screamed. "CATHERINE!" And Avery jumped on her in a bone-crushing hug as Catherine laughed and hugged her back. "You scream like-" Catherine was about to say when Avery moved back with wide eyes. "Don't even start," Avery warned as Catherine let out a small chortle. Avery aka the melodramatic queen of their group. She's the typical long nails, high heels, red lips, and blonde. But she was just so sweet by heart. "Aww such a pretty reunion. How many yea
"By the look on Catherine's face, I'm dying to know it." Avery chirped as Quinn cocked a perfect brow at Catherine, completely saying, 'what did I miss?' "So the professor introduced a new student today." Joseph started as Avery put her spoon down and grasped her hands together giving him her utmost attention. "I'm all ears." She said, These two should join a circus. Catherine thought with an eye roll as her eyes landed on someone sitting on the table, two tables away from theirs. He sat alone with his food and didn't bother to spare anyone a single glance. The dude looked as if someone had forced the crap out of him to attend the university. "Catherine was checking him out when that dude rolled his eyes at her," Joseph said with a low laugh, causing Catherine to scrunch her nose at him in annoyance. "Woah. He must be something to roll his eyes at such beauty." Avery said dramatically. "Shut up, Avery," Catherine muttered. "That's not it." Joseph mused. "Oh, there's more?" Sa
"Here goes nothing." She muttered with a deep breath, taking slow and calm steps toward him. She smoothly sat on the chair opposite him. The man didn't even notice her presence, drowned in his food. She didn't dare look at her friends because they must be grinning like idiots right now. Catherine dramatically cleared her throat to get his attention, which did get his attention. He stopped eating for a complete two seconds before he started eating again. Eyes still on his food. Catherine again cleared her throat a little loudly now. He smoothly grabbed his can of coke and put it in front of her. Her cheeks tinted a bright shade of red as she heard the booming chortle of her idiotic friends. "Thank you." She said rather plainly as she opened the can and took a gulp of the drink, his eyes were still on the food so she timidly toasted the drink at her friends who were smiling at her. "So why did you take admission so late?" She breaks the ice. No reply. 'God. What was this man? Mu
"Horror," Adriel said. "Action." Catherine chirped. "Horror." "Action." "Horror." "Action." "Horror." "Fine then watch it alone I'm leaving," Catherine muttered as she tried to jump off the bed when Adriel immediately held her hand, stopping her. "Fine! You're a blackmailer you know." Adriel grumbled as he searched for an action movie on N*****x. "Aww thank you." She smiled while shuffling his hair as he grumbled and both the siblings watched the movie while eating popcorn. Half of the movie passed and Adriel was already snoring on her shoulder making her roll her eyes at his enthusiasm of watching a movie but ending up asleep in the middle. She moved carefully and laid him properly on the bed as she covered him up with the blanket. Turning the LED off, she kissed his forehead. She wasn't the one to show affection a lot but she loved Adriel dearly. He was her only family. She cherished him a lot. Closing the door she walked out only to halt in her steps when she found Mr. R
