Catherine's pov
I was mad at Olivia for not treating our mate with love. She doesn't even care what i say now a days!. It has been a week that Derek had spoken a word to us. How she can pretend everything is okay even though there is nothing at all. I wanted my mate and wanted to see his happy face. There is a limit to my tolerance!.Maybe she is obsessed with the pack and what others think, but i wanted nothing but my mate.
It wasn't that much hard as i think, for me to take control over Olivia. She tried to resist me but it was a futile cause of her tired self. She was really tired and fatigue due to the continuous pack duty. If she can't treasure our mate then I'm gonna definitely treasure him. I looked myself in the mirror to see my beautiful self after a long time. I combed my hair backwards and smirked seeing the shining red eyes of mine. Olivia definitely had a gorgeous body. The skinny jeans that was tightly hugging my legs and tank top are perfect. I bet Derek definitely would love it!.
I walked out but stopped hearing the laugh of Aaron who was playing with Riya. I was amused to see the childish side of my beta. He looked very content with his little mate. He think he is fooling us really well, not telling the truth but what he doesn't know is Olivia is aware of the truth ages before. She was just waiting for him to tell us. Why is he thinking we won't accept him?. We are bestfriend right?.
"I bet, you wish if she was little older, right Aaron?" I said leaning against the wall crossing my arms over the chest. Aaron stood up abruptly with a startled expression plastered on his face. I chuckled seeing the flushed face of his who got caught doing wrong thing.
"Oliv--Catherine?"
"Huh caught me already?. As thought of my beta, you are always vigilant, Aaron. You find me out even though i tried hard to hide myself using this shitty contact lens!" I said with a crooked smile.
"It wasn't that hard. Anyone could say just from your aura that you are not Olivia but Catherine" he says shrugged.
"Maybe you are right! Sorry for distributing your precious time with your little mate, Carry on don't mind me" I says smirking and he gasped in shock.
"W-What? H-How did y-you..?" He stuttered, hardly audible for anyone, glancing back from the playing riya to me.
"There's nothing i don't know Aaron. We are bestfriend right?"
He looked at me in teary eyes but couldn't say anything. It was evident from his face that he was blaming himself for everything. I don't see any wrong in riya become Aaron's mate. Moreover it was given my moon goddess. I believe nothing happens without any reason. I wanted them to find out what their fate is.
"Everything is gonna work man, you just have to wait. I supports you and i am sure everyone will." I said placing the hand over his shoulder. Aaron smiled at me nodding his head with both eyes brimming in tears.
"Thank yo-"
"Don't thank me Aaron!. Is that not friends are for?." I says stopping him from finish his words. He only nodded giving me a content smile.
"Why is Ronnie crying?" Riya asks worried holding the end of Aaron's shirt making both of us look at her.
"N-Nothing princess"Aaron says kneeling down to her height trying to reassure her.
"Did liva made you cry?" She asks giving me a cute little glare, being angry for making Aaron cry.
"No. she didn't! Don't worry, It's just some dust that got into my eyes." Aaron says reassuringly but riya doesn't stopped glaring at me like i am some potential threat.
"Your mate is a feisty little one, huh?" I asks chuckles liking the confidence of her. No kid dared to look at my eyes till now. She is definitely brave for her age.
"She is your mate's sister, right?. No wonder if she did!" Aaron said raising an eyebrow making both of us laugh. It is definitely correct!. She really is a mini Derek. They both are stubborn but cute.

I sniffed the wholesome of air to find where Derek is. I was little worried when i couldn't find any trace of Derek on the pack house. I walked through the forest following the faint scent of Jasmine and pine.The scent was very faint that it was very difficult to follow and the sadness mixed it in made my heart hurt.
I walked into the familiar lake that was surrounded by the thick forest. The only place me and Derek knows, our secret place. I remember the first time Olivia bringing Derek here. I also wanted to embrace Derek like Olivia did at that time. It was a good memory. I sighed seeing Derek siting on the side bench with both eyes closed. Is he sleeping?
"Derek?"
I sit besides him getting no response. I think he is sleeping. He looked handsome as always. Only if he was happy too.....
"Why are you here Olivia?. Didn't i say i wanted some time alone?" He asks starling me. I looked over to him to see he was looking at me already.
"I am not Olivia!" I said become little upset, glaring at him. Why didn't he recognised me?. Was he expecting Olivia?
"C-catherine?" He asks sitting straight abruptly. The shock was written all over his face.
"Were you expecting Olivia and not me?" I asks disliking the way his body tensed up in the presence of me.
"N-no, not exactly...but I-I am glad it's you though. It's true that i was really surprised at first. I didn't know you can change into human form too" Derek says immediately getting red.
"Sorry, if i scared you."
"D-don't need to apologies. It was my fault that i didn't recognised you at first." He said rubbing the back of his neck shyly making me smile. I was in cloud nine to see my mate being himself and happy in my presence. I just wanted to eat him alive. I licked my lips controlling myself from the naughty urges. Derek is really a tempting delicious dish.
"You are really cute!" I said caressing his cheeks. Sparks went through my body just from the mere touch on him.
"W-what?" Derek asks flushed and surprised.
"Even though you are big built and handsome, there's no one more cuter than you, my love." I says looking right at him want to touch him more.
"W-what?"
"Not only me, Olivia also think the same way. We both love to see your flushed face." I said chuckling remembering Olivia's dirty thoughts.
"W-what the hell are you talking about?" He asks yanking my hand away and facing opposite from me. I frowned getting a little taken back from his action.
"What's wrong?. You don't like me calling you cute?" I asks worried sensing the the sudden change in his behaviour. Why is he looking so red?. Did i make him angry?.
"N-no, it's not i don't liked it b-but don't you think no one calls a boy c-cute?"Derek asks awkwardly hardly meeting my eyes.
"Who said cuteness is only reserved for girls?. I don't see a problem in calling you cute!" I smirked seeing the blush on him. Derek only looked down and didn't replied anything afterwards. I really wanted to make him more red.
"Derek, i am really sorry on the behalf of Olivia. She shouldn't had behaved like that." I said being serious taking his both hands in me.
"Why are you apologising?. It's Olivia who did wrong and not you!" He said shaking his head.
"No, it's not. Olivia is me and i am Olivia. There's no difference between me and Olivia. I should had stopped her but i didn't so i am at the same fault as her." I paused taking a moment to look at his eyes.
"Derek, don't misunderstand Olivia. I know she loves you and care for you a lot. It's just her experience with the rogue is not so pleasent. That's why she is standing against you. Give her some time, she will come along." I said squeezing his hand. Derek smiled at me nodding his head.
A comfortable silence falled between us when we both enjoyed each other's presence looking at the lake.
"Why is you wearing contacts?" He asks out of nowhere.
"You will get scared if i removed it." I shrugged.
"Don't comes to the conclusion all by yourself. Remove it i wanna see your eyes." Derek says stubbornly. My eyes searched if there's any kind of discomfort in him but sighed not getting any. Really he is not scared to see my red eyes?. I removed my lens and looked at him gulping afraid of seeing his scared face. I don't want to make him scared of me once again.
"Your eyes looks beautiful!" He says cupping my face in his hands and looking at it intensely. His breath was fanning on my face and an inch of distance was only seperating the both of us.
"I am gonna kiss you right now. Stop me if you don't wanna." I said leaning in and joining both of our lips. His lips were warm and soft. I licked his lower lips teasingly in between the kiss. They parted slightly, allowing my tongue to slip inside. It was hot but passionate at the same time.
I closed my eyes only concentrating on our locked lips. Our tongues twirling together in a maddening dance that i wants never to end, foreheads fall together and our breath mingles. I kisses Derek chastely,there is nothing in the world that could possibly stop us from enjoying this moment.
"That was really amazing!" He says smiling when we both are panting from out of breath.
"What did she say to you? And why you looks so happy?" I asks grumpy. He looked at me and his smile vanished with in a second.
"Olivia?" He asks frowned and the dislike clearly written on his face.
"Yes, What? You don't like it?" I asks getting pissed.
"You really an idiot!" He says leaving a sigh, before walking away from me abruptly. What did i done wrong?. I sighs, rubs the bridge of my nose, and attempts to relax my own thoughts by focusing on one thing but couldn't. He definitely like Catherine more than me. He doesn't even liked seeing me. What exactly did Catherine really say to him?.
The fuck!!!
