back here when I howl. If you have any complications, I want you to howl and contact me through the bond.’ Damian told us all through the bond.
We nodded. ‘Now go.’
We took off through the forest.
I grinned, enjoying the wind through my fur, my wolf was smiling as well, it was truly exhilarating. I skidded to a stop after a while of running and perked my ears, cocking my head to the side. I closed my eyes and let my ears range out, listening for prey. I heard the yowl of a mountain lion and my eyes flew open. I crept forward and paused when I heard pacing. I crept to the break in the trees and peeked out. The mountain lion paced on a high rock. I watched it, quickly forming a plan. I crept around the clearing, not making a sound, and got behind it. I waited a second longer before launching myself at the big cat. Before the cat could whirl around, I tackled him onto the ground and we went rolling. The cat raked his claws across my chest and I yelped in pain. I wrapped my mouth around its neck and snapped it, silencing its yowls quickly. I pushed the cat off of me and shook myself. Grinning, I lay down and dug into my meal. Eating raw meat is a part of being a werewolf; it feeds your inner animal.
I paused and perked my ears as the sound of footsteps hit my ears.
Electric blue eyes stared at me from the darkness of the forest. Damian. He crept into the clearing and walked over to me, sitting on his haunches on the other side of the cat. ‘Impressive.’ He said approvingly, looking at the size of the animal that I took down. I nodded and pushed myself up on my haunches. Damian’s eyes went down to the wounds on my chest; they would be healed by tomorrow. He growled and anger built up in his eyes. ‘You need to be more careful, though.’ He said through the bond in a hard voice.
I glared at him. ‘Hard to be careful when you’re focusing on the kill.’ I quipped.
He gave me a dark look and snarled at me. ‘If you weren’t my mate I would-“
He was interrupted by a howl of pain from a wolf that I knew well and I took off. I followed the sounds of the howl and broke through the clearing. Riley struggled as a vampire took him down to the ground. I snarled and lunged, knocking the vampire off of Riley. We both went rolling on the ground and I ended up on top, pinning the vampire to the ground and snarling in his face. He stared into my eyes and his face twisted up in a menacing grin. “Ah, the Wolven Goddess returns.” He spat.
I cocked my head to the side and gave him a questioning look. “Oh, you don’t know do you?” He giggled girlishly. “You will, my sweet, you will.”
I snarled and grabbed his neck with my teeth, snapping it easily. I backed away and looked at Riley. His face was scratched badly, but he seemed okay. He nodded once to me and I paused before nodding back. What did he mean ‘’the Wolven Goddess returns?”
I looked at Damian; he seemed to have heard, because he was looking at me confused. He lifted his head and howled, signaling that we all meet back at the house. ‘We need to talk about what he said.’ Damian said.
I nodded once and took off, following my scent back to the house. Damian and I were the first ones back. I walked over to where I left my clothes and transformed back into my human form. I heard a growl and looked over; Damian stared at me with dark eyes. I ignored my inner animal’s growls and quickly pulled my clothes on. The others arrived shortly after. They transformed and as soon as Riley was dressed I ran over to him and pulled him into a hug. “Are you alright?” I asked, turning his face from side to side so I could see his scratches.
He smiled and swatted my hands away playfully. “I’m fine! It was-“
“Riley! What happened?” Mom shouted, running over.
“The little twerp got attacked by a leach!” I said, smiling at Riley.
“Yeah and Cat here had to get him off me, can you believe that? Tiny Tina had to help me!” he teased.
I rolled my eyes. That’s what he called me since I’m shorter than him. He can’t call me Tiny Tim, so he calls me Tiny Tina.
“Catalina. I need to talk to you.” Damian’s hard voice called.
I ruffled Riley’s hair and turned to follow Damian into the house. We walked up the stairs and into his office before he turned to speak. “Cat…what did he mean by that?” he asked me.
I lifted up my hands as if in surrender. “You know as much as I do.”
“He told you that you would find out soon. Do you carry the Wolven Goddess?” He asked me.
I shrugged. “How should I know? The legend says that the wolf won’t know until the Goddess decides.”
He stared at me, curiosity burning in his eyes. “You know the legends?”
I nodded. “I’ve read every book we have.” I said.
“I’m impressed. Most wolves don’t know our history.” He said.
I grimaced. “I’m not the most…popular person at my school. I’m the freak. And the ugly girl.” I admitted.
Damian’s eyes roamed my body. “You’re not ugly at all. You’re exquisite.”
“I’m hardly exquisite. And they never see me in clothes like this. I’m more of a…tomboy, I guess you could say. I wear T-shirts and baggy pants. This-“ I gestured to my dress and shoes. “-Is my mother’s doing.” I said.
Before I knew what he was doing, I was against the wall, and Damian was pressed against me. “You are exquisite. You should look in the mirror sometime. Everything about you.” He ran his hand through my hair. “Your hair, your eyes.” His eyes met mine and I almost melted, they were dark and dreamy. “Your body.” He said quieter.
I could feel my cheeks heat up, but I resisted the urge to give into him. He leaned his head down and pressed a warm kiss to my neck, making my wolf scratch at my control, trying to take over. I felt my eyes change color, and my control slipping as his hands slid down my sides, stopping at my hips. I thought my dress was going to catch fire.
“I…my parents…” I could barely get the excuse from my lips, my wolf snarled at me and went back to enjoying Damian’s touch.
Damian leaned his head up so he could meet my eyes and the corners of his lips tilted up in Damian’s equivalent of a smile. “What’s that? What did you say?” he asked, pressing a kiss to the corner of my mouth.
“My parents will…get worried…if I’m in here too long.” I gasped as his hands found their way under my dress, which was when I lost control.
My wolf took over and wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled his face up to mine and smashed my lips to his. I mentally glared at my wolf. ‘I hate you’ I told her.
‘Love you too, Cat.’ She said smugly.
“Lorry.” We both paused as he addressed my wolf, pulling away and staring into my now black eyes.
“Yes, my love?” she asked.
“Give Cat her body please.” He said, running a finger down our cheek.
Lorry pouted, but sighed and gave me control. I was away from Damian in a second, across the room, by the door. “This can’t happen again.” I said.
“There’s my mate.” He whispered, as if to himself.
“I have to go.” I said.
He turned to me and smiled. “Fine. But just one more thing.” He said.
He was against me again, pressing me against the wall by the door. His lips were at my ear as he whispered in his Alpha voice, “I want you to keep wearing clothes like-“ he gripped the skirt of my dress in his hands. “-This. I want people to see what they can’t have”
I whimpered and nodded, unable to say no to the Alpha voice. He let me go with one last kiss to my temple. I tightened my hands into fists and growled, storming out of the room. I’d have to follow his orders, he may be my mate, but he was still the Alpha. I walked down the stairs to find mom and dad standing in the living room, mom had her keys in hand, and she was talking heatedly on the phone. Dad had his hand on her shoulder, giving her comfort.
I walked up and mom became silent. “Okay. Alright, I’ll call you later.” She said, hanging up before she could get an answer.
“Let’s go honey. Riley is going to stay with Lily for the night. It’s the first time they’ve been able to see each other since you were born.” She murmured.
I nodded, feeling guilt for keeping them apart. We walked out to the car and I jumped in, looking out the window at the house. I noticed that one of the windows was open, and a dark silhouette stood outlined by the light of a few lamps. Damian.
Damian’s hand lifted to the window and he pressed it against it, I couldn’t see his face, but I knew he saw me. I felt heat flash through me as I thought about what happened in that room and fanned myself unconsciously. We pulled away from the house and I leaned my head back, exhausted from today’s events.
2: My crazy school.

I awoke the next morning to my alarm clock; I groaned and banged my hand down on the snooze button. I dragged myself out of my bed and into the bathroom. I grimaced when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t look too good.
I grabbed my brush and untangled my hair, and then I jumped in the shower.
After showering, I stepped into my room and walked over to my closet, luckily my mom had extra clothes for me just in case I decided I didn’t want to be a tomboy anymore. On one side of my closet were my regular clothes; on the other side were all of the other clothes mom bought for me.
I grabbed some dark blue denim skinny jeans, and a tight fitting, white T-shirt. I slipped on some white satin flats and sighed, looking down at my makeup bag with a grimace. I threw on some eyeliner and mascara, shrugging and calling it good. I left my hair it’s natural. It was wavy and thick, I usually put it in a ponytail.
I said I didn’t like wearing this stuff, I didn’t say I didn’t know fashion! I grumbled all the way downstairs and into the kitchen. Riley walked in the front door, his clothes rumpled and a big
