At Aubrey’s urging, Charles drove as fast as he could, and in just over ten minutes they were at
his house.
Aubrey didn’t waste time. She jumped out of the car and went straight upstairs.
When she opened the door, she froze for a second. Candy had always roamed freely at home, but this time he was locked inside a huge cat condo. Something about him seemed off–he kept yowling nonstop.
Aubrey crouched by the cage to soothe him. Charles followed and asked, “How are you feeling? Are your injuries bad?”
“I’m fine. This is nothing; it’ll heal soon.” Aubrey waved it off, still focused on Candy. “What’s wrong with him?”
Charles looked helpless. “I don’t know. I took him to the vet two days ago. The doctor said he’s in heat, but I had him neutered ages ago…”

“Uh…”
Aubrey had never had a cat and didn’t really understand. “So what am I supposed to do? Find him a little female cat?” Candy was, after all, a male.
As she spoke, she reached in and stroked Candy. Miraculously, he went quiet.
Charles stared in surprise. “He really likes you.”
Aubrey smiled slightly. “I like him too.” Round and soft, he was adorable.
Her head was bent as she stroked the cat’s head, her long lashes lowering a little, making her look soft and gentle.

Charles drew a deep breath, closed the door, and left. He didn’t need to confess. He didn’t need
a response.
Half an hour later, Aubrey had figured Candy out. He couldn’t stand to be more than five meters away from her or he’d start yowling again. As long as she stayed nearby, he was quiet.
So she let Ella’s healing power do its work. Within minutes her wounds were completely gone. Then she dragged Charles’s sofa over to the cat condo and lay down beside it.
She and the cat spent the whole afternoon like that, quietly together. Aubrey even felt her mood lift. Was this the mysterious power of cats?
During that time, Alpha Henry reached out to her through their mental link. She replied vaguely that she was staying at a friend’s place and then ignored him. After Henry’s frantic reaction, she felt something inside her shift again.
Damn it. Why couldn’t she control her feelings? Why did she always… go soft?
This is the Moon Goddess’s guidance. He’s our fated mate. We’re meant to be together. Her wolf Ella’s voice echoed in her mind. I just don’t get it. He loves you. You love him. Why can’t you be together? Just because of that cursed sibling contract?
