πππππππ ππππ ππ πππ πππππ, Catherine could see the hesitation on his face, the man being privy to the tension that lingered been herself and Isabella.
Something that Catherine knew wouldn't be distinguishing soon, however she didn't want the man to miss out on his afternoon due to their problems.
So as Charlie turned back to her with the same hesitant face he'd just gave his daughter, she couldn't help but speak up in her willingness for him to leave.
"Go ahead, Uncle Charlie," Catherine spoke softly with a nod of her head and a soft grin, offering the man her usual cheery attitude. "it's fine."
And hearing her word, Charlie's shoulders only lightened up a bit losing the previous tense posture he'd just had.
"Be careful." He instructed with a soft pointed look, not wanting his niece to come into any kind of harm again.
The man still unsure how Joseph, Catherine's Father, hadn't demanded she'd come home when they'd spoken on the phone the day Catherine had gotten hurt.
Nevertheless during the conversation the two men had, Joseph had spoken in it being something Catherine said about staying out there, so as of now he was completely clueless as to why she stayed.
Other than her current relationship with Jacob.
"Always am." Catherine responded with a nod only seeing thinking Charlie was once again being his over protective self, however that didn't stop the feeling of comfort that washed over her body as her smile got a bit brighter.
The tension that Catherine was once feeling, lightened up a bit thanks to her Uncle's words, before he turned toward Isabella.
"Be good." Charlie spoke in the same manner he'd done for Catherine, although in different words as it seemed his daughter was more likely to do something that could get her in trouble.
And hearing his words, Bella only folded her arms across her chest with an awkward nod not entirely knowing what to say, knowing that she was already in trouble.
However that was enough for Charlie, who stepped over leaving a soft kiss to the top of her head which Isabella awkwardly shrugged off.
Before he exited with Harry and their fishing gear, leaving Isabella and Catherine standing in the room alone the silence and tension quickly building again.
Especially as they met each other's eyes, neither in the mood for either which was obviously shown in the scoff Catherine let off before she too exited the room.
Heading upstairs to grab a few things before she would go over to the Pack House, where she'd finally get to start the date she had with Paul.
ππππ πππππ πππππππ ππππ πππ πππππ πππ ππ π ππππ ππ πππ ππππ πππππ, Catherine once again pulled the tight seatbelt from around her body, a large smile on her face as she got ready to see her soulmates once again.
The night apart feeling entirely to long especially as she spent majority of the time tossing and turning on her fluffy white covers until an unknown time of the night.
Luckily her own sleeplessness didn't seem to stop her ceaseless excitement to see them and start her next date, however as she finally stepped out of her car and grabbed her bag.
Almost simultaneously the front door of the Pack house opened, three of her recently imprinted shifter soulmates walking out of the house, the three being Jacob, Paul, and Sam.
The three all possessing large smile as their eyes landed on Catherine, the young bunny offering them a large happy wave before she started walking up to them, the three shifters meeting her in the middle of the yard.
"Goodmorning Bunny." Jacob spoke as he was the first one to meet her in the middle, Sam and Paul slowing their pace letting their future Alpha greet her first.
Another reason being because out of the three of them Jacob was not only the true-alpha, he was Catherine's original boyfriend, so they would always subconsciously give way to him.
Whether they wanted to or not, because failure to obey the alpha was grounds for expulsion from the pack and nobody could take that given their imprint was here.
"Goodmorning." Catherine replied with a large smile as she felt her boyfriend lean down, the taller of the two wrapping his arms around his girl's waist as she put hers around his neck.
The two embracing softly for a minute, especially as Jacob squeezed her body onto him, lifting her partially off the ground for a second before he let her down.
Allowing his imprint and girlfriend to move a bit past him as he stepped back and watched her greet the rest of their pack, of which she'd be the future Luna.
"You sleep well, Sugar?" Sam asked as he was the next in line, the man wrapping his arms around her waist however instead of pulling her in for a hug.
Sam continued to talk to her with a love-strung face, looking down as she had her arms wrapped around his neck a soft blush coming over her tanned skin as she quickly realized that there was barely any space between them.
Sam having done this specifically because he could somewhat sense the exhaustion in the young woman's stature, something that he wouldn't have been able to do before.
"Not really," Catherine confirmed his suspicion with a soft shake of her head, however the smile never leaving her face as she felt the softest of comfort knowing she was near them. again. "but I'm definitely better now."
Hearing her words, the once worrisome look on Sam's face turned into one of amusement as he chuckled, leaning down leaving a soft kiss to Catherine's hair line before stepping to stand beside Jacob.
Leaving the best for last, since today would be Paul's day with their imprint and he was her original imprinter, so it was better to give him the same respect and time they'd gotten.
Jacob and Sam the only two able to deal out that respect, which was apart of the reason that they weren't the ones patroling at the moment, Embry and Jared always looking for a moment to light Paul's short fuse.
"You ready for our date, Doe?" Paul asked with a soft smile on his face and a raised arm as Catherine walked up to him, the teen getting the gesture immediately as she slipped under his arm.
Quickly wrapping herself around his body with a smile, excited to go on their date giving the last two was just as perfect.
Although she didn't expect much, it was overly exciting and heartwarming to see them go above and beyond due to the simple fact that they wanted to be with her, that they liked her.
"Yes, where are we going?" Catherine answered and asked quickly, nearly jumping up and down despite standing in one place causing a look of amusement to come over the three men she was with.
All of them used to her excited attitude towards just about everything, the young dysis always jumping around and laughing about out of her own enjoyment.
"It's a surprise." Paul answered simply not wanting to give up any details after hearing about how amazing Sam and Jacob's dates where, which put him at a disadvantage already.
Not to mention the fact that the pair knew more details about her, could plan bigger events for her, so at the end of the day Paul hoped he'd chose better with his less extravagant date.
