FALCON NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
I recalled the conversation I had with the Blackwater Pack about Catherine's Mother.
"Your mother is alive"
I said as I walked into the living room and saw the photograph Catherine held saying the people on it were her parents. They all turned in shock towards where the voice came from
"Falcon?" Damon exclaimed
"Yes, it's me" I confirmed,
"Where have you been all this while? You left without notice" he inquired
"I had to leave discreetly for personal reasons but I've been monitoring this pack closely."
The atmosphere remained tense as Luna Diana sought clarification about my startling statement, "What do you mean by her mother being alive?"
I took a deep breath before revealing what I had discovered. "I saw that woman in the Silver Crescent Pack."
There was silence in the air, the weight of my words sinking in. Damon's grip tightened around Catherine, hope and disbelief in his eyes.
"In the Silver Crescent Pack?" Damon echoed, seeking confirmation.
I nodded, "Yes. Catherine's mother is there, and she works in the orphanage home, taking care of children."
Damon's eyes met Catherine's, emotions passing between them. The room, once filled with shock, transformed into a whirlwind of feelings—relief, excitement, and a touch of anxiety.
"We'll find her, Cathy," Damon assured, determination evident in his voice.
I continued sharing the information I gathered, describing the small, close-knit pack where Catherine's mother had found refuge.
"She seems to be leading a quiet life, taking care of children in need."
Catherine's eyes glistened with unshed tears, Damon held her even closer, silently promising to reunite her with the mother she believed she had lost.
Luna Diana, sensing the delicate nature of the situation, spoke with a gentle tone.
"This is wonderful news. We'll plan a careful approach to ensure a smooth reunion. Falcon, thank you for bringing this to our attention."
As they processed the revelation, the room buzzed with discussions about the next steps. Damon, still holding Catherine, whispered comforting words.
"I'll go take a rest now, I came from a far journey," I said as I turned to walk back
"You're always welcome here Falcon, take as much rest as you need, we will still need your help later," Alpha Damon said with gratitude in his voice.
I nodded silently and walked away.
CATHERINE
My mum is alive? The revelation that my mom was alive left me in disbelief. After all these years, I had thought she was gone forever. The anticipation of our reunion filled me with excitement, a mix of emotions that even my usually bitchy wolf felt.
"What's going on with you? You seem more excited than I am," I asked my inner wolf.
"You're my human. Your happiness is my happiness," she responded.
"Really?"
"Of course. I don't want you always looking down and gloomy."
"Thank you," I said, appreciating the unexpected warmth from my wolf.
"You will soon be in your mother's embrace," she assured me,
Damon walked into the room, breaking the whirlwind of my thoughts.
"How're you doing, baby?" he asked. This man has been so sweet to me, every day with him has been the happiest day of my life.
"I'm fine, a little anxious," I responded, unable to hide my nerves.
"You'll be fine. Pick a few things; let's head out and go get your mother," he suggested, a reassuring smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll be down in a bit," I replied.
"I'll wait for you. I don't want to leave your side," he declared, his commitment touching my heart.
"Nobody is taking me from this room, Damon," I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
"I know, but I'll miss you if I go down alone," he pouted a childlike expression that made me chuckle.
"Are you sure you're the ruthless Alpha of Blackwater Pack?" I playfully teased him.
"Yes, baby," he responded, lifting me off the ground and twirling me around.
"Put me down, Damon!" I laughed, enjoying the carefree moment.
"Yes, ma'am," he said, setting me gently on the floor.
"Can we go now?" he inquired, holding my hand.
"Yes, we can, Mr. Alpha," I replied, teasing him back. He smiled and planted a sweet kiss on my forehead before leading me outside.
The truck rolled along the winding road, and my heart raced with a mix of excitement and nerves. Damon sat beside me, offering a reassuring smile as he held my hand.
"Nervous, Cathy?" he asked,
"A bit, Damon. I never imagined I'd get to see my mom again," I replied,
Seeing my mom again was both a dream and a reality. Damon squeezed my hand, offering silent reassurance.
We reached Silver Crescent Pack, a small Pack with children playing and the aroma of home- cooked meals wafting through the air. Ryder Parked the truck, and we stepped out, drawing the attention of the pack members around.
Approaching the orphanage, my heartbeat quickened. There was a security man outside, and I approached him, showing him a picture of my mum.
"Please, we're from Blackwater Pack, and I'm looking for this woman. I heard she works here," I explained.
"Is there a problem?" He asked, looking scared at the mention of the Pack. I wasn't surprised by his reaction; many people are scared of Blackwater Pack because of the rumors about Damon.
"There's no problem; she's my mother," I assured him.
"Hold on, let me fetch her," he said and went inside.
A few minutes later, the door opened, and there she was – my mom, with gentle eyes and a look of recognition.
"Mom?" I called out, and her eyes filled with tears as she whispered, "Cathy?"
Running into her arms, we embraced, tears streaming down our faces. It was a reunion filled with years of longing and emotions too profound for words.
Pulling away from the hug, I pointed at Damon.
"Mum, this is Alpha Damon, the Alpha of Blackwater Pack, and that is Ryder, his Beta. They saved me," I introduced them to my mom. Mum's eyes met Damon's, and I could sense the unspoken gratitude in the air.
"Mrs. Thames, it's a pleasure to meet you," Damon said, extending a hand. Mom smiled, shaking his hand.
"Thank you for taking care of my daughter," Mum expressed her gratitude.
"Mum, please, I want you to come back with me to Blackwater Pack. We've been apart for so long, and I have so much to tell you," I pleaded with my mom.
"Catherine I don't know if it is safe to follow you. I don't want to put you in further danger. That is why I've been hiding for so long. What if Alpha Sky finds us?" My mum said worry was written all over her.
"Mum, Alpha Sky was killed years ago, and his son Vance took over. But he can't do anything to us; we are under Blackwater's protection," I tried to convince her.
"Okay, wait here. Let me inform the people who took care of me here. I'll join you shortly," she said as she walked back inside.
I walked back to Damon, and he opened his arms, wrapping me in a tight hug.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine. I'm just so happy that my mum is truly alive," I said to him.
"I'm glad that you're happy, Cathy. Your happiness means a lot to me," Damon said.
"Thank you, Damon," I said, looking at him with gratitude. And then, shocking me, he said,
"Let's have a mating ceremony."
