Cassie -
Shortly after the reassurance from Luna Lily that Thomas would still be protecting me, she escorted me back to the room I stayed in last night, Thankfully nobody was leaving me to walk the hallways alone.
“I want you to stay here, this is your room now dear. Thomas will be up shortly with some food, his training will have ended by now and I know that boy loves to eat. I am going to talk to Sven, I need to tell him what you told me and then I will come back to you and we will discuss how you wish to go on from here. This is your room now, for as long as you wish it to be,” she sighs heavily and continues, “this should have been our heir’s room, but it was not meant to be I guess, at least now it will be put to use.” Then she turns away from me and walks back down the hall, the way we jus
Cassie -With my terror increasing by the nanosecond, I realise where we are. Luna Lily takes my hand and squeezes it gently, she gives me a reassuring smile as she walks through the door, pulling me along with her.For the first time in my life, I am in the Alphas office, this is not something I had ever anticipated, there are only 2 reasons I know of for anyone to be taken to the Alphas office, 1 you are an official on official business or 2 you are in trouble and have to discuss your misdeeds and punishment. As soon as I truly realised where I was, I began to panic, I couldn't breathe, my head was swimming, and my knees felt like they had melted like butter on fresh popcorn."Breathe Cassie, you're OK, I promise you are OK, just breathe honey" I hear Luna's voice as though thr
Cassie -After reading the first couple of sentences, I have to stop, go back and reread it carefully. I am incredibly surprised by what I am seeing written on the page. I carefully close the book, Using my finger as a bookmark so as not to lose the page Alpha wants me to read from, so that I can look at the front cover and I see it is a relatively standard, plain black-leather covered book with no image or writing on the front, but when I decide to check the spine, which is also blank, I see it is well worn, which means it has been opened and closed many times in the past. I open the book again and flip back to the first page of the book deciding to read the inscription handwritten there in neat small letters; "This diary belongs to Jennifer Bennet, beginning 21st February 1975"I glance at Th
Cassie -It has been a whole week since I read the diary entry written almost 60 years ago by Luna Jennifer. A solid week of being holed up in this room, that Luna Lily very kindly insisted I call my own, That means it has been 2 weeks since my birthday, 2 weeks where all I have done is sleep, eat, heal, and meet with the Luna and the Alpha or spend time with Thomas. For about the last week now, each morning at around 9 am, I am set upon with harsh cramps that take my breath away and for the last 2 days they usually return around midnight, waking me from my sleep and causing me to clutch my abdomen and whimper until the pain subsides. They last for around 15 minutes each time, then suddenly pass with no lingering effects whatsoever. I haven't said anything to Thomas, or to anyone else about them, as I don't want to worry them all. Thomas i
Cassie -It has now been 4 weeks since my birthday, a little over 3 weeks since that first meeting with Alpha Sven and Luna Lily. The cramps still hit me at the exact same time everyday, like clockwork and I still have not spoken to anyone about them. Today Thomas and I are meeting with Alpha Sven and Luna Lily again, so that we can discuss our plans and options regarding my rejection of Beta Ace. We have had to wait a couple of weeks as Alpha Sven was called away for an emergency meeting in another pack. Luna Lily decided to stay behind this time, knowing that it would only be 2 weeks he was gone for, and though she didn't say anything about it, I knew she stayed because of me, to help protect me from further harm. I didn't want to meet with Luna Lily before now, specifically about the rejection, as I felt it needed to be discussed with both of them together and this way would be ea
Cassie -Thomas and I are so excited at the prospect of relocating that we pretend that between now and then, there will not be a severe event. We pretend the worst isn't coming and we make plans, we talk about the people we will be when we move, the friends we will make, the life we will lead. I talk about our ideal mate and how much we hope to find them. Basically, we act like excited siblings, off on an adventure.We talk for so long that Thomas actually falls asleep, and instead of waking him, I leave him to his rest. In the quiet that follows, I ponder my future, I'm so wrapped up in the fear of the unknown. It was easy while Thomas was awake to delude myself into thinking the coming months will be easy but deep down I knew the truth and in that time between Thomas drifting off and me falling asleep the dread was all co
Cassie -After telling Luna and Dr Thorne about the cramps, which I now know Ace caused me, the pains stopped. I still haven't ventured from my room, nervous of seeing Ace or Maddie, who I imagine helped Ace with his 'needs', resulting in my pain. I don't know what happened. All I know is that the pain has stopped, not faded, but completely stopped. And I am not complaining. Thomas keeps encouraging me to leave the room, assuring me we will not see Ace. He seems to know something but is holding it back from me."Come on Cassie, he won't get near you, I swear it, I won't leave your side for a second, you will be completely safe begged I promise," he all but begged. And today, finally, I think I am ready to face the pack. Although I'm scared, I know Thomas will protect me, and I trust him fully.
Ace -They had me arrested? How dare they arrest me, and what a crock the charges are, 'abuse of power', how can you abuse power? If you have power you use it. The pack did not suffer while I was in charge. Sure, I mean, Cas suffered, but nobody else did, the b!tch must have blabbed. She must have told them everything, and they clearly have taken her side rather than asking for my side of the story, if they heard me out they would understand. I'm not surprised really, the Luna is such a softie, definitely not true Luna material, Luna's need to be tough, strong, commanding, and Lily is anything but. But it's fine, I can stay here a while, our plan is set, we have a timeline, so for now I will just rest. It isn't the most comfortable but I've slept rough on missions before so this will be easy by comparison, and soon I will have this pack and all those responsible for thi
Cassie -"Yes, yes, it is your lucky day Cassie, you get to choose a future pack. All three Alphas have agreed to accept both of you as soon as you are ready. Of course, I haven't told them what you are about to do. That is not my place, but all three are lovely packs with plenty of peace and friendly people. I have printed out some information on each so that you might ponder your decision. Once you have decided between you, let me know, and I will notify the packs and begin making plans, including your travel and accommodation needs." He says all this very quickly, and I will admit, it hurts a little that he seems so eager to see us gone. Something of my thoughts or feelings must show on my face, as he quickly adds, "not that I want you gone, I just want you to be free and able to begin putting this business with Ace in the past." He says kindly, and I believe him. I believe he only wants what is best for me, and I know
