CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
As I work in my office, I keep glanceing at two things every now and then.
My window and my wrist watch.
My window to see if it's dusk already and my wristwatch to see if the time has clocked six pm so I can stop working and go see Cassie at the hospital.
Mum and I have been discussing through mindlink all day as I keep wanting to know how Cassie is faring.
She was more than grateful when I asked her to go be with Cassie.
Mum loves Cassie to bits and to be honest, it terrifies me. Well, maybe it's a Luna thing. I have come to the realization that the only woman she can like for me is my mate, Cassie.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX"Where did you spend the night?" Ella asks the moment I walk into the bedroom and I'm tempted to roll my eyes at her. I don't do that though.Instead, I let out a heavy sigh and stay on the spot, giving her a cold look."I was at the hospital with Cassie," I reply calmly."At the hospital with Cassie, is that care and concern I sense in your tone?""Yes, it is""Why is that? I thought you didn't care about her, I thought you wanted her to suffer, to some extent, I thought you wanted her dead!""I have never wanted her de
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN Bullying. The pack issue I had to deal with yesterday had to do with bullying. It appears there was this little she-wolf who got bullied by her peers very often and it seems her elder brother gave her some advice and she actually heeded to it. She had the two girls who always bullied her well beaten yesterday in one of the dressing rooms and so I was called. When I listened to the story, I pretended to be mad at her before the others so I wouldn't sound bias, but I later on congratulated her for standing up for herself. However, I gave them all a warning never to bully anyone again, else they will be punished and they promised not to do so again. After that, I deliberately had dinner at my Beta's house inorder to avoid the awkward scenario that was waiting for me at home. Right now, my mother exp
