Cassandra’s point of view: I lifted my right hand to knock on his office’s door when Alpha Dalton spoke, “Come in.” There was a slight strain in the air. That was the first thing I noticed as I walked inside. To say the least, it made me feel intimidated. Alpha Dalton wasn’t looking at me. He was scribbling something on the piece of paper in front of him. Probably finishing some pack work, I thought. “If you are busy, I can come meet you later.” I offered, ready to walk out of his office. “No, stay! I’ll be done in a moment.” He ordered without even sparing me a glance. His Alpha tone made me freeze on the spot. “Okay, I will wait.” I hesitantly sat down on the couch by the door after closing his office door. He nodded, preoccupied. I felt slightly comfortable sitting nearest to the door. The tension still hung around in the air but I didn’t let it affect me. Taking in a deep breath, I looked around. There was a bunch of book-shelves stacked with a huge amount of old and ne
Cassandra’s point of view: ‘Do something!’ Sierra came to my rescue but her commanding voice made me so anxious out of nowhere that I panicked. What do I do?‘Do something to calm his wolf down. Anything,’ Sierra advised.Without giving it a second thought, I take his hand in mine, rubbing circles on his skin with my thumb and hoped that this would help calm his wolf down. I couldn’t tell why I did that but I just did it.And, it miraculously worked.After a whole minute of just holding his gaze, his eyes flickered down to my hand. With a short gasp, I quickly pulled my hand back on my lap.“I… uh… I’m sorry.” I apologized for having touched him without his consent.Was that really something to apologize about? I couldn’t really tell. I was dazed.Oh no! Realization dawned on me that something like last time was about to happen but it was too late to stop it. It had already begun. There was no point in trying to fight it.Why did I shorten the distance between us? I should have taken
Cassandra’s point of view: I woke up to my stomach growling. I glanced at the clock. It was way past lunch time. I missed breakfast and lunch. Stretching my arms and yawning, I leaned forward to rise. After taking a nice bath, I got ready for the day. I was about to walk out of my bedroom when a disconcerting thought crossed my mind. I wasn’t sure if the pack heard something yesterday while I was in Alpha Dalton’s office. What if they heard me moaning his name? I visibly shook in tremor. The only way I could get back to my bedroom from Alpha Dalton’s office was by shifting into my wolf. I didn’t meet anyone from the pack. So, I was completely oblivious to anyone knowing about my bad deeds. My hand still hung over the door knob. The contradicting thoughts in my mind made me more reluctant to go out. They might think of me as a slut. I was Marcus’ chosen mate and right now he was in a coma. The mere reflection of what I did yesterday in Alpha Dalton’s office chilled me to the cor
Cassandra’s point of view: That girl was damn fast. I was about to catch her when she ran straight inside Alpha Dalton’s office. I rushed in behind her to find several pairs of eyes look in my direction. I froze. There were six strangers sitting on the couch and by Alpha Dalton’s table. That wasn’t the only reason why I went completely still. It was their presence. They oozed power and dominance. It didn’t take a fool to know that they were all Alphas. And right now, they weren’t pleased that I dared enter Alpha Dalton’s office without seeking their permission first. I wasn’t supposed to be here. “I’m so sorry,” I quickly apologized and reached for Millie so that we could get out but a familiar voice from behind made me go completely still once again, “What are you doing here?” I turned around to face Alpha Dalton. Our eyes met. He wasn’t happy to see me here. His eyes darkened as he glanced around us before locking gazes with me for a split second. It was so quick that I would
Cassandra’s point of view: ‘Woah, such a handsome guy, is this a dream? It must be.’ I thought with a smile as I gawked at him. The handsome guy’s eyes fluttered open. I knew it wasn’t a dream anymore when the bed moved as he shifted slightly, definitely panicked some more when I recognized the smirk tugging at his lips. “What the fuck? Why are you so close to me?” I leaped out of my bed. “Stop being this noisy!” Alpha Dalton groaned, moving to get a better position and closed his eyes again. I gaped at him, shocked to find him still asleep. “Millie? Where’s Millie?” I glanced around my bedroom, my eyes already searching for the little girl. She was sleeping in the middle of us. “Delilah finished her work at the pack borders so she came early and took Millie back.” He replied with his face buried deep in one of my pillows. I was momentarily confused at first before figuring out that Delilah must be Millie’s mother. “Then, why are you still here?” I asked him as I crossed my
Cassandra’s point of view: This kiss was different from the one when we’d thrown ourselves at each other at the top of the mountain and from the one we just shared yesterday. Those kisses had been full of desperate passion and desire and an I must have you now adrenaline boost.This kiss was slow and measured. And, I could feel its warmth and the slow spread of it through my body as I was awakened to the desires within me. It felt as if he was trying to take his time to memorize every bit of it… as if figuring something.This kiss took my breath away.I almost let out a complaining whine when he broke it off suddenly and leaned back.My lips were still burning from his touch, my body screaming to be touched too, and my heart was pounding its way through my veins. I opened my eyes to find his eyes already fixed on my face.These blue eyes pierced through my soul. Up this close, I took my time to appreciate his well-defines features. He had bristly eyebrows, a hawkish nose and perfec
Cassandra’s point of view: No other man had ever had this effect on me. Not that there was anyone before Alpha Dalton. I’d never even tried getting into a relationship with someone. It was forbidden to be in any kind of relationship with the opposite gender. The Moon Howlers were quite strict about that rule. And that, I told myself, was the only explanation for why I responded to him as if I was a drowning woman and he was the only one who could throw me a lifeline. I had this seething desire and had wished that I would find my true mate that I would get to meet him and not be entangled in the pack’s politics and the Moon Howlers’ binding rules. But alas! I shifted urgently against him, reveling in the sensation of every inch of his sinfully hard body pressed so exquisitely against every inch of me. My heart raced more so than before as I heard the unmistakable catch of his breathing. Then the hot, still slick feel of his mouth again as I matched his kissed stroke for stroke, urg
Cassandra’s point of view: My alarm woke me. Groaning, I blindly reached out to grab my phone and switched off the irritating noise, then flopped back against my pillow. Normally, I’d wake up late, but I’d been babysitting Millie for the past three days since her parents were needed at the pack borders for some security issues. They’ve been working on tightening the security at each side of the pack. According to the two women I heard gossiping in the kitchen area the other day, Dalton even bought security cameras to be set up all around the pack and its borders. Hidden, of course. He also had patrols running daily and has asked the warriors to keep a strict watch on most, if not all pack members. He had been spending his time searching for the person responsible for the attack. He claimed that rogue wolves wouldn’t just gather and attack. I think he actually believes that someone from the pack had something to do with that attack. Hence, Millie’s parents have been pretty busy c
