What was it about her that drove Cassius insane and made him act like a dog abandoned by their master? What was it about her and why was she suddenly missing?“This is a good opportunity for you,” Louis said. “With her away, take this opportunity to get the Alpha’s attention on you!” His eyes were shining with determination as he spoke.Louis, for all his medical knowledge, was a fool. I knew he liked me and it was clear as day that he wanted to get me in bed but he pretended to have nothing but friendship in mind. The eyes with which he looked at me were disgusting, not much unlike the eyes of the men I was running from. Yet, he did not even know it. He pretended to convince himself and me that he was my friend and cheering for me to get with Cassius.Either way, he was a stupid guy so
CASSIUS’ POVIt had to work this time. It just had to. The resources that went into hiring warriors and trackers that had taken the dark path, were not little. It was like pouring water into a basket. So far, I had gotten no result so I threw in everything. I found twenty assassins and paid them to work together towards one goal. It was expensive to target the royal family so imagine using twenty people to target a royal wolf. So it had to work out. It had to.Alpha Koa somehow managed to evade my traps but this time, even if he did not die, I had instructed them to maim him to the point where him becoming king would forever be out of the question. It cost me the equivalent of the pack’s five-year budget to get this together so it had to work. It just had to.When I ensured the men had set out as I instructed, I went back home, exhausted to my bones. When I got home, the first person I wanted to see was Persephone.&ldqu
We spent the rest of the night talking, the nightmare forgotten. I knew Alpha Koa was not dense even so, I was excited to hear his plans. Since I knew the future, I could tell him which would fail and which needed more work.I finally fell asleep as the night turned to day and there were no nightmares this time. I woke up a short while later to the smell of food that made my stomach rumble. As I opened my eyes, I sat up to stretch with a loud yawn. My stomach grumbled again.“I caught some fish,” Koa said as a greeting when I went out of the tiny cave. “I cannot guarantee it will taste good but it is better than being hungry.”“As long as I do not starve.”I went to the river a short distance away and washed my face and feet. Then I went to eat. I was hungry so I wolfed down the meal Alpha Koa had prepared. After eating, we cleared out the space, dressed up and went about looking for ways out of this place.&ldqu
“You will be my Luna Queen,” he said while I processed his words.My brows jumped to my hairline in amazement. Shall I laugh or smack sense into him? I considered my options but no matter how we were stranded, it was still a crime to hit a member of the royal family so I settled on mocking laughter.“Do you plan on forcing me into the role?” I asked.In this life or the next, I had no desire to be the Luna Queen or a Luna. After my experience with Cassius, I would be the biggest fool to trust a man enough to let him put a mark on me. I learnt my lesson the hard way so I would not allow myself to be used a second time.In this life, as long as I could get my people out of Blood Crescent, I planned on establishing my own pack. It would be made up of the people I forced to join Blood Crescent after I blackmailed my father into subjecting himself to Cassius’ rule.“I am quite confident that there is nothing lacking a
Once again, I drowned in darkness. My heart accelerated while a bitter taste coated my tongue. I struggled to come out of said darkness but my body did not move. I felt trapped in my skin.“Cass – Cassius, please,” I pleaded. “You have to – Cass, no!” I reached out a hand to come out of the darkness and a rough hand grabbed mine.I gasped as my eyes snapped open to see Alpha Koa holding my hand. Sweat poured down my face. I held on to his hand like my life depended on it, gasping for breath, my chest tingling.When I regained my senses, I pulled my hand from his, adjusting myself as I sat. It had been a while since dreams of my death hunted me.“Here.” Alpha Koa handed me the leaky pouch that barely had water.I accepted it with shaky hands and gulped down the last drop of water available, my throat dry and hurting. The place was dark and silent save for the sounds of chirping animals. I avoided Koa’s piercing gaze which seemed to want to see into my soul.Silence reigned around us fo
I woke with a start. Darkness transformed to light in the blink of an eye and the first thing my mind zeroed on was the cold, then the throbbing in my head and finally, my parched throat. I sat upright and blinked. “Oh, you are awake.” Turning my head caused a lot of pain but I did it. I turned my head to see a man with dark hair and blue eyes staring at me. “Alpha Koa,” I called his name in a hoarse tone. “Where are my clothes?” “I took them off,” he responded with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. “Here, have some water.” He held out a leaky and tattered pouch of water to me. I raised my brows and he shrugged again. “I found this here and cleaned it as best as I could. Do you want it or not?” I grabbed it since my throat was too dry. It was disgusting but I held my breath and drank the remaining water that had not leaked out of the pouch. As soon as my throat felt better, I screamed at him. “You crazy guy! What did you do to me? Where are my clothes!?” I shouted but th
I left home at the crack of dawn but even by then, Cassius had long since left the house. Today, I was meeting Alpha Koa at a coffee shop close to the palace because I knew I had to be more careful being around him.Today, I better disguised myself, going as far as to wear a red wig and plain clothes. The coffee shop was well known and thus had a lot of visitors but they also had private sitting areas which I hoped Alpha Koa had booked for this meeting.As usual, it was a long trip out of Blood Crescent to meet with Koa. The carriage was almost pulling to a stop when one of its wheels took off, nearly hitting the people coming up behind us. I hurriedly left the coachman to deal with it since I did not want to alert people of my presence.I walked the short distance to the coffee shop and searched around for Alpha Koa. I found him in a private sitting area, absentmindedly flipping through one of the books the coffee shop provided to their private sitting customer
“Are you okay, Perse?” Sylvia said as she helped me get ready for bed. My hands shook uncontrollably and I could barely focus on what was happening around me. All that filled my mind were thoughts of Cassius and why he was actively looking for an assassin. Things had changed so did that mean this time he would try to get me away from him by using an assassin? Was he planning to assassinate me and my father? Why did he need an assassin? “Perse.” Sylvia’s cold hand touched my shoulder and I jumped in surprise, whirling around to glare at her. “Miss - what’s the matter? I don’t like how you look. What’s troubling you?” There was no way I could tell her so I just shook my head. If Cassius was planning to assassinate me, then I needed help. Who would help me? My first thought was my father but I had vowed to keep him out of my troubles. My next thought was Koa. Yes, Alpha Koa. He was to be my shield in this mess. I had to contact him for help but most of all, I had to leave this pla
Cassius was up to something. For the past week, he went out frequently without telling anyone and he had dark circles around his eyes the few times I saw him. As his supposed Luna, his sudden unannounced outings meant I had to fill in for him.“The Alpha is not here today?” Elder Mark asked.I was now sitting at the head of a meeting that Cassius had called but did not attend as he was out today again. Sylvia informed me when the Elders gathered with no head so I happily waltzed in. “I apologize but the Alpha had more important things to attend to.” “More important things?” One of them growled. “I spent three hours on the road just to get here. What could be more important than meeting his elders?” “It’s okay,” Elder Mark rushed to appease. “Alpha Cassius has elevated Blood Crescent beyond my wildest dreams. He must be working a lot to get us to even greater heights.” Elder Mark was easily bought and thus not very influential so I paid him no mind. These men were the pillar
