The Games could bring out the best in people, but also the worst. The crowd watched as a proud, strong tribute just moments ago was reduced into a fearful, little girl. Just trying to get back home to her family.

I see a lack of Cato X reader stories and I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring and give it a try to tell you a story that will blow you socks off.... Summary Cato and (Y/N) are tributes from District 2 and have just been reaped, but what the capital doesn't know... Is their love and commitment to each other and not their District. #25 in catohadley

(THE GAMES WE PLAY) HERA TITAN never wanted blood on her hands. Born into the brutal legacy of District Two, she dreamed of freedom-not fame, not fear, and certainly not the Hunger Games. But when her ruthless father demands she uphold the family name by volunteering, Hera is forced into the arena with one command: win or die trying. Thrown into the Capitol's glittering nightmare, Hera is prepared for anything-except falling for the enemy. CATO HADLEY has been raised for this. A weapon forged by District Two, he's been trained to see weakness as a death sentence. Volunteering is his destiny. Victory is his right. But nothing in his brutal training could have prepared him for her. As the arena closes in and alliances blur, Hera and Cato find themselves caught in a deadly game-not just for survival, but for their hearts. Enemies. Allies. Something more. In a world where love is lethal and trust is a weakness, can they defy the odds-or will the Games destroy them both? STARTED - 19th April 2022 FINISHED- 16th August 2022

GAMES "Do you know what the reason for these games even is?" "Of course I do. To punish us for the Dark Days. The war." "Exactly. And do you know what that means?" "What?" "No one wins when it comes to the Games. Twenty-three tributes lose their lives every year and their families are left in ruin. And if for a second you think that the winners have actually won, you're delusional." *** Cato/OC *** © All Rights Reserved by -arcadia *** Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games, only Shaylin, her family and her friends.

𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀. 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗢𝗨. Melanie Clark is a 16-year-old girl from the poorest district. She never imagined that she could end up in the arena, and even less that she would fall in love with a boy whose goal since childhood has been to win the Hunger Games without caring who he kills. Cato always thought that winning the Games was the most important thing in his life. But that changes after a girl from the weakest district catches his eye and becomes his greatest weakness.

District Two is a career District that provides the best tributes every year for the games, but not all the tributes are the same. For the 72nd Hunger Games, the Mayor of District Two decides to change the selection of tributes to volunteer for the Games. So when the selection is made the choice, it will shock both the District and the volunteers themselves. __________________________________________ Meet Ash Evalins... A normal girl that went to the Academy to train to be a tribute like the rest of the kids of the District, but she was different. She worked 18 hours a day at a bakery in the middle of the town square and wasn't the strongest student to leave the Academy. She is reserved and shy but she has a power and intelligence inside her mind that even she didn't know was there. The only people who seem to see it are the Trainers of the Academy, her family, and of course the Victor of the 71st Hunger Games, Cato Hadley. And this seems to cause problems for her that she can't begin to comprehend, as she carries on with her life. But when the 72nd Hunger Games starts, Ash doesn't realize she will have to show her true nature in order for her to defeat the other 23 tributes. But is her talent and skills enough to get her through the games? Or will it fall short and put her with the other 23 tributes who didn't survive? Read and find out... ___________________________________ This story is an AU (Alternate Universe), So Cato is the Victor of the 71st Hunger Games and a few things are different so don't be mad at me or anything.
