Catherine’s POV~
“I’m sorry, Catherine, it must be hard on you,” she gave a gentle squeeze to my shoulder as an act of comfort. Her voice was laced with worry and concern.
“It’s okay, it’s not your fault,” I whispered. My voice cracked slightly, she looked at me with pity and it made me feel pathetic.
“Hello, Catherine, I’m Hazel, Aiden’s mate, come on let’s all have our breakfast,” Hazel gave me a gentle smile and I smiled in return. I was grateful for her interruption. Alexander weaved his fingers with mine and gave a gentle squeeze to my hand. I smiled at him but it was a little forced.
“Come on,” he pulled the chair for me and pecked my lips before taking a seat.
“Eww! Uncle Alec kissed that pretty girl’s mouth, Eek!” The little girl squealed and scrunched her nose adorably which made us all crack up. I giggled at her and Alexander’s smile returned on his handsome face.
“She is my pretty girl, Pumpkin,” he told the little girl with a hearty laugh still not taking his eyes off me. My stomach made a weird flip at his words; my heart fluttered instantly making my insides to melt into a puddle of goo.
After breakfast, we all went into the garden. Drake and Aiden were engaged in some argument about which music band was best. Alexander was playing with the kids and I was watching them laugh and run, along with Tyra and Hazel.
I came to know that Hazel and Aiden were met during college. Aiden and Hazel were eighteen at the time of their first encounter. I also came to know that Little, Judith and Edward were three and two years old.
The crispy air blew my hair and made my heavy heart to lighten a bit. I could hear the giggles and hearty laugh of Alexander and the little toddlers. They both were adorable and they were running across the garden meadows while Alexander was chasing behind them. They look happy, I feel like I was on a family picnic.
If you stood at the peak of love, there would be no darkness and he was my love who fights away my darkness.
When I looked at the knight brothers, Aiden gave me a gentle smile. My eyes widen at his smile towards me. He was the man who loathed me for Natalia’s death and his behaviour was harsh towards me when we met for the first time but he was smiling at me now. I composed my shock and returned him a genuine smile.
While rescuing me from my granny’s home, Aiden was the first to pounce on that rogue to protect me. I could say that he accepted me in his family.
“Catherine,” Alexander’s deep and husky voice caught my attention. He was standing in front of me, covered in sweat. The sunlight behind him lit his brown hair with red and gold, he was grinning at me, running his hand in his sweat dripped hair.
He was wearing a grey polo shirt that hugs his figure and stretches at his broad shoulder and sculpted chest.
He was a Greek god, indeed!
My feet carried me to him without my consent, in no time I was standing in front of him with a huge grin on my face.
“Yeah?”
“I want to take you somewhere,” he told me with a mischievous glint in his eyes. I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“But, where is this place?” I asked him, unsure.
“It’s a surprise,” he told me with a cheeky grin and without warning, he removed his shirt.
“What are you doing?” I shrieked and I could feel my face heating up. I couldn’t take away my eyes from his lean muscular body.
“Undressing,” he stated the obvious with a shrug.
God! I couldn’t get used to his body, now, could I?
Suddenly flashes of last night appeared in front of my eyes, making me blush harder.
He smirked at my reddened face, knowing exactly what was running in my head.
“There are kids here,” I stuttered. Suddenly my mouth went dry as the Sahara.
“Nudity is common among werewolves, so relax, sweet cheeks,” he whispered with a lopsided grin.
He removed every inch of his cloth from his sexy body and bent to my height. I tried hard not to focus on his little member between his legs.
“I know what you are thinking,” he whispered huskily in my ears. His voice was deep and smooth, instantly making my knees to wobble.
“Naughty girl,” He nuzzled his nose on my cheeks and placed an open-mouthed kiss below my ears which made me clutch his strong shoulders for support. I felt like I was in high. He gripped my waist to steady me. His touch was firm but soft.
His hot breath was hitting my cold skin and his masculine cologne was not helping my situation either, “Soon, love,” he whispered against in my ear and licked my earlobe which made me shudder.
His promise made my stomach to clench and my heart fluttered at his words. He pulled away from me. Black fur sprouted from his golden skin, I heard cracking of bones and in no time he shifted into his mighty wolf and stood tall and proud in front of me.
