Chapter Thirty-Five
The last time she had been within the walls of the Duncan Compound, their Alpha had been distraught, frazzled and desperate.
In this moment, he was none of the three emotions she had most felt coming off him, that day she found him hovering over a smaller woman, his usually completed self, a horrible mess. Still, she could sense how troubled he was, his eyes betrayed his worry.
Magnolia had expected this; for anyone to go through the things she had seen in Cassandra's mind, would mean they were bound to be greatly disturbed by it. At the time she cared for her though, her sole concern had been to heal the body. Normally, the fact that she was now a werewolf would have allowed her mind heal more easily, werewolves had formidable minds, the likes of which humans couldn't possess. However, the manner of her turning had ensured that such would not necessarily remain true for Cassandra's wolf.
Magnolia listened with rapt attention, as Caleb narra

She hadn’t slept a wink. It was almost impossible to close her eyes the entire night, even less find any sort of sleep. She supposed it was all due to the excitement from what was to come. Cassandra stared back at her reflection in the bathroom, after she had had a very long bath. Possibilities swirled in her head endlessly, and the more she thought about what was to come, the more agitated and apprehensive she grew. It was o much easier to agree to something when the idea first came to you, but the longer you spent, thinking about it, the more negative scenarios you were able to build up. She was determined to not let those negative thoughts veer her away from what was most important though. She was also confident in the people she loved, that no matter the outcome, they would help her through it, as they had the last few months. She knew she could never be totally normal, not anymore, but she was determined to ac
Caleb Chapter Thirty-Seven
She had no idea what she was doing, and Trina had resolved to not think of it too deeply, lest she lose whatever courage she had built up over the last few hours. Some things only came to you out of a necessity, some actions were motivated by feelings, rather than logical thinking. This was one of those actions. She charged through the palace, most of the occupants clearing the way for her, only because they knew her to be the witch. She caught the look of surprise on the features of some of Alejandro's men. It was an expected reaction; she wasn't seen on palace grounds, she always stayed put in her little hut outside of town. Not today though. She knew the dangers Gayle presented, she knew the carelessness Alejandro wielded with a damning pride. As insufferable as he was, he still was her mate, and there was no way she would let Gayle lead him to his imminent death. She made her way to Alejandro's chamber, her powers leading h

TW: Rape/Sexual Assault Cassandra was awoken by a serene sound. She opened her eyes slowly, and sat up. This wasn’t her bedroom. Her eyes roved the length of the area, it looked to be a garden of sorts. There were roses, lilies and daisies around her, as well as trees and shrubs. Beneath her feet, she could feel soft grass. She rose to her feet, as her eyes took in more of her surroundings. The serene sound that had woken her up, could still be heard in the area, as though the birds were all singing a particular hymn. The energy felt different here, she felt rejuvenated. What was this place?She walked through the forest, her fingers dancing over errant leaves, and branches, as she wondered on her purpose for being here. Her movement only slowed when she noticed eyes watching her. She paused, oddly enough, not out of fear. Normally, she knew fear should have caused this re

The next time Cassandra opened her eyes, it wasn’t Caleb hovering over her…it was Kylie. “You’re awake!” she squealed, her eyes widening comically, just before she pulled Cassandra into a hug. “Don’t squeeze her back into coma Kylie.” Kennedy’s authoritative voice came, “She’s been out for some time, I bet she’s too weak for that hug.”Kylie took a moment before she released Cassandra, she had a large smile on her face when she finally raised her face to look at her…her eyes were also wet with tears, causing Cassandra’s brows to furrow in concern. “Kylie…” she began, but her voice was so hoarse she couldn’t continue. Kennedy rushed to the bedside with a glass of water, which she put to Cassandra’s lips, as she helped her up, “Ease your throat Cassie.”&nbs

He had said it was simple.When Caleb had told her the mating ritual was much simpler than she thought, Cassandra had expected it would be as simple and unceremonious as Kylie's mating with Roy. She had assumed it would be just the two of them in a private space, declaring their love for each other as Caleb marked her.With the preparations that had gone on leading up to the day, she became more and more convinced that such simplicity would not occur for her. She had asked. The mere fact that all of the workers in the mansion were aware of the forthcoming mating, and milled about the house with practiced intention for it, had caused her to ask Caleb what exactly the preparation was for. The response she had gotten was something she was highly unprepared for. "You mean people will be there? Like, in person? I mean, like...like voyeu

Cassandra’s ears had to be twitching. Get naked and get in the pool? She had assumed she would have to get naked at some point, but not this fast. She looked over at the pool, it was a few inches away from them, and was covered in rose and hibiscus petals. A small woman stood by it, her head bowed…if only the other people present could do same. Caleb placed his finger underneath her chin, and pulled her attention back to him, “Look at me.” She gulped and nodded her head in response. He looked so good, his usually sleeked and packed hair, was now loose and draped over his strong shoulders, his chest was wide, his torso lean, and tapering into a slim waist. He looked like a high class model, but of course, she had always known that to be true. “We need to disrobe.” He repeated to her, as though she hadn’t heard Magnolia the first tim
Caleb Chapter Forty-Two
It had been so long since he last fought, Caleb had almost forgotten what a battle ground looked like, but as they came upon the rogues that made up the Corona pack, as they transformed into their wolves and attacked, the scene became far too familiar for comfort. The corona pack didn’t have the numbers they had, but whatever they lacked in numbers and skillset, they made up for in grit. It was never an easy fight coming up agaisnt Rogue Weres, they were the castaways of the Were community, and whenever they go the opportunity to face packs that had a great standing in the community, they put in their all. That was the situation they were up against.Caleb’s wolf dodged the oncoming assault from a charging wolf, and latched his sharp canines onto the neck of another coming up right behind it. The tiny yelp from the wolf, as his teeth met bone, barely phased the Alpha. His usually silver fur, was coated in blood, as the batt

She felt the shift, even before the cause made it into the room. Cassandra stared out of the window, at the sparse people that moved around the compound. She could count only four or five people that had passed in the half an hour she had stood here. It wasn't usually like that; the compound was much busier normally. Most of the residents were locked away in their houses, calling on Luna for the victory of those who had gone out to fight and safe return of the Alpha. Since their mating, Cassandra found she could feel the inhabitants of this compound more. She could tell what they were feeling, she could tell if they were sad, happy, worried, nervous...a few months ago, being foisted with all of that power, would have caused her to have a panic attack, but now, it felt...natural. she was still getting used to it, but her adjustment was much faster these days. It was why she felt her the moment she stepped onto pack
