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
Caitlyn's POVI picked up the card, my heart leaping with surprise at the sight of Talon's phone number inscribed on it. His earlier meanness had left me wondering if he was just playing a cruel joke on me."What a lunatic," I murmured, shaking my head, eager to erase the unpleasant memory from my mind.I composed myself, straightening my clothes and taking a deep breath before deciding to head back home. However, as I started to move, a sudden loud noise up ahead caught my attention. A group of people hurriedly rushed towards me."Caitlyn! Are you okay?" My father led the group, rushing towards me with concern written all over his face. Behind him stood several senior family members, donned in armor and brandishing weapons, ready to take on any potential threat."I heard an assassin escape in this direction. Did it harm you?" my father inquired with worry evident in his voice."No, I was just walking here when I saw a dark shadow fleeing in that direction," I replied, feeling a bit u
Caitlyn's POVAs I lay on my spacious bed at home, Talon's unruly face kept recurring in my mind, and I knew that everything had changed.I touched my stomach, feeling a sense of joy for this little life growing inside me. However, I knew it wouldn't be an easy journey. Loving a werewolf was already forbidden in society, let alone being with a powerful rogue who had even killed pack leaders.The thought was like a lump in my throat, making it hard to breathe.I took out the card and held it above my head, contemplating for a long while before finally setting the phone down.The turbulent night passed without incident, but everyone understood it was merely the calm before the storm.The next morning, Leona arrived at my house in a frenzy before I even woke up."Caitlyn, are you alright? I heard that you had a close encounter with that assassin last night. He didn't harm you, did he? Ugh, it's all my fault; if I hadn't been so greedy for that little while and had gone home with you earl
Caitlyn's POV"What?"My heart skipped a beat as I was taken aback, wondering if I might be imagining things."Hey, Wildcat, I must say I appreciate your courage in sharing this news with me. You see, I've been yearning to have a child of my own, and what I'm about to do is quite risky, Caitlyn. However, I'm genuinely happy about it, and I'd love to see you tonight."Talon's voice trembled slightly, and his words seemed a bit disjointed, not at all what I had anticipated.I had expected him to mock me mercilessly, maybe even call me names, and then hang up abruptly. Yet, instead, he was telling me that he wanted to take responsibility.It was almost too incredible to believe, like something out of a dream. I pinched Leona hard on her back, and she let out a cry of pain.Thank goodness, it wasn't a dream."Hey, Caitlyn, this is all so crazy. Not that I want to be a wet blanket, but how are you going to break the news to your father that the baby in your belly is Talon's?"Leona looked
Caitlyn's POV "Are you Caitlyn's father?" Talon stood upright and faced my father, his back turned to me. For some inexplicable reason, I could discern that there was considerably less hostility in him. "I never really thought it was you." My father gradually approached Talon, though his concerned eyes remained fixed on me. "I'm taking Caitlyn away today, and now that she's carrying my child, you should understand the implications of her remaining here." Talon took a couple of steps back, gently gripping my hand, his eyes immediately shifting to a cold amber hue. I attempted to resist slightly, but it proved futile, leaving me no choice but to gaze at my father in despair. "There's no way you're taking Caitlyn away from me, I swear." My father asserted dominantly, then slowly positioned himself as if ready to attack. "Huh." A cold snort escaped Talon's mouth; it seemed like it had been a while since he had encountered resistance from someone else. "Let go of her!" My
Caitlyn's POVAfter Talon left, he was constantly on my mind. Even when I went shopping with Leona, it always felt like there were eyes peering at me from the shadows."Caitlyn, how did it go? Talon wasn't as bad as you thought, was he?" Leona's face beamed, and her tone carried a hint of braggadocio."Well, it was okay. He mentioned he could get me out of here," I responded to Leona somewhat perfunctorily, my attention occasionally flickering to the dark corners around me."Cool! That sounds like something he would do. So manly, no less." I expected Leona to feel a bit sad upon hearing my response, but I didn't realize that she seemed indifferent to the news of my potential departure, which left me feeling a bit lost."And then what happened?" Leona walked to the front of a jewelry store, then turned her head to look at me with curiosity."Then my father got into a fight with him..." I muttered in a low voice."Oh my god! Your father?!" Leona exclaimed incredulously, her outburst dra
Caitlyn's POVAfter meticulously searching every corner of the hut, I discovered that there was truly no escape route. Disheartened, I sat down, reproaching myself slightly for my recklessness."Leona! I'm here! Can you hear me?" I shouted countless times until my phone's screen dimmed, and the only response came from the eerie hooting of owls outside my window.Through the cracks in the window, I could sense time passing. It seemed to be the second night, as daylight had given way to nightfall. My life force was gradually draining, and my consciousness was becoming increasingly hazy.It was said that people could glimpse their most precious memories before death. In the midst of this haze, I appeared to see Talon forcefully opening the room's door, his face marked with anxiety as he cradled me in his arms. His eyes transitioned from worry to surprise."Caitlyn, incredible, you're alive!" Even Leona's cries reached my ears. The dream felt so vivid that I closed my eyes, contemplating
