~ CASSANDRA ~

We’re in his car, heading to the summit. Cassian and I are seated in the back seat, while his pack driver is behind the wheel. Two convoys lead the way, with more vehicles following behind us.

I mentally scold myself for acting like a limp worm while he was flirting with me, and I silently curse Lyra for making me this damn weak.

But the thing about Cassian is that he’s undeniably attractive. I know that. And the mate bond between us seems to make the attraction ten times worse.

    ~ CASSANDRA ~“Melanie reached out to Beau after she discovered that Dr. Mallory’s family was being held hostage. Knowing she couldn’t just sit back and watch an innocent family suffer, she contacted him and decided to fight for justice instead of staying silent.”Cassian’s gaze settles on Dr. Mallory. “So, Mallory, you have a choice. You can tell the truth now that your family is here and safe, or you can continue standing by your Alpha’s lie and risk losing everything.”Dr. Mallory blinks rapidly, and my heart flutters as my eyes glisten with tears that threaten to spill down my face. I know Rhett is a devil, but right now, I think Cassian is even more dangerous.My mind immediately goes back to when he told me to trust him. Did he already have all of this planned out? I thought we were walking into this with just one plan, never realizing that he had been working on a backup plan all along.“I’m sorry. My sincerest apologies to the council for my lies. I know I don’t deserve to ke

  • Addicted To My Ex-Husband's Enemy; His Curvy Obsession    044: Bring Them In

    ~ CASSANDRA ~“That’s more reason I’m not banking on that alone. It could be Cassian trying to manipulate her further. She’s fragile, and when you have a fragile soul, all it takes is the right person to manipulate you. I have evidence and medical records documenting her six months in the psychiatric ward,” Rhett concludes, pulling me out of my thoughts.Cassian is staring at me with an expression so full of sorrow that it looks like he can’t believe I went through all of that.If only he knew. I had been through worse. Fucking worse.“Hand it over,” Alpha King Peter says, his voice cutting through the tense silence.The entire room feels suffocatingly still, and it’s almost as though my life is being played out in front of me like some twisted reality show. Except the version being displayed isn’t my life at all. It’s nothing but a fucking lie.Rhett hands over the file, and Alpha King Peter takes it without a word. He spends several minutes going through the documents, occasionally

    ~ CASSANDRA ~Fresh tears spill down my cheeks, and I don’t think I can hold them back anymore as the memories come crashing through me.My throat burns with anger as everything comes rushing back with full force, hitting me like a freight train. It started over something so small that I almost laugh when I think about it now. It was a dinner with his business associates, and I corrected him in front of them. I hadn’t meant anything malicious by it. I had simply pointed out a mistake he’d made about the trade agreement.But Rhett doesn’t forget things like that.He didn’t say a word during the entire ride home, and that should have been my first warning.The moment the door closed behind us, he turned on me.“Do you have any idea what you just did to me? In front of them, making me look like I don’t even know my own numbers?”His voice rises as he pulls off his shirt, his anger filling the room.“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I didn’t think of it as—”I barely get the words out before he cro

    ~ CASSANDRA ~“I... I didn’t consent. I can swear I didn’t consent to this. I didn’t. I was told I was signing a fertility consent form. I... I...” My voice falters as the words stumble out of me.I know how stupid my explanation sounds because I was supposed to read the document before signing it. I was supposed to know what I was agreeing to, and now, standing in front of the council, my explanation only makes me look careless and foolish.“It’s okay,” Cassian murmurs as he gently takes the document from my hands and hands it back to Alpha King Peter.“I swear I didn’t consent,” I whisper back, hoping he’ll know I’m telling the truth. If we’re doing this as a team, then I need him to know everything.Those brown eyes stare softly into mine.“I know. I can sense it in him. I can feel his elevated heart rate, the spike of fear, and the tension running through his body. He need to do a better job of hiding it. Leave it to me, and don’t say another word. He might use anything else you h

  • Addicted To My Ex-Husband's Enemy; His Curvy Obsession    041: Forged Consent

    ~ CASSANDRA ~Rhett is a psychopath, and the last thing I'm going to do is sit here and watch him act like some sweet, heartbroken husband who misses his wife and desperately hopes she'll return to him.Hell fucking no. I'm not letting him rewrite what happened right in front of everyone."Alpha Cassian did not use his Alpha aura on me in any way."My voice comes out strangled, though I manage to keep it low amid the murmurs."Rhett, my ex-husband, has been cheating on me for years. When I finally discovered the truth, I confronted him with pictures and everything I had found. And do you know what he did? He asked me to agree to an open marriage so he could openly sleep with other women without having to hide it from me anymore."I swallow hard, forcing myself to keep my voice steady."He body-shamed me. He made me feel worthless. He made me question my own value while he continued doing whatever the hell he wanted."I look around the room, meeting the eyes of the council and the gath

  • Addicted To My Ex-Husband's Enemy; His Curvy Obsession    040: Dirty Games

    ~ CASSANDRA ~When we get back to the summit event, everyone is already deep in a heated conversation, while Rhett sits calmly in his chair, looking as composed as ever. If only looks could be that deceiving.My arm is hooked around Cassian’s as he leads me back to my chair and helps me settle in. I try to follow the conversation that has been going on in our absence, but it takes me a few minutes to piece together what’s happening.Apparently, it’s a dispute between two packs, with the council trying to broker peace over a stretch of land. One pack claims the land belongs to them, while the other insists they legally bought it. Neither side seems willing to back down, and the council is struggling to keep the argument from turning into an all-out pack conflict.After what feels like thirty minutes, the council finally manages to reach a solution that, surprisingly, seems fair. They agree that the disputed land will remain under the temporary control of both packs, with each pack allo
