CASSANDRA’S POV.As I walked out of my parents huge mansion, the guards of the gate bowed to me before looking straightforward.I smiled to myself because it was exactly the same thing the hallway guards did and it made me feel importantI hummed as I walked back to Mrs Smith's home, following the flower trail." Hey! Happy bug, why are you so joyful?" I looked up to see Elia wiggling her brows at meI giggled " Oh, it's nothing."" Are you sure? You look like you got hit with the happy truck" She smiled" I'm just happy. I ate so much food at Mo- Luna's and she treated me so much like my own mother" I smiled, happy that I was able to stop my slip up" Oh, I can believe that. The easiest way into your heart is through your mouth" She laughed" I don't think that's how it's being said you know"" Of course it isn't. Your type just requires a different kind of expression." She said thoughtfully " Wanna go to the lake?"I thought about it for a while, there's nothing bad about taking a d
ALDER’S POV.I laid on my bed staring at the ceiling, listening to the things that were happening outside. I haven't left my room at all since the incident that took place last night.They keep making it sound like she was the moon goddess gift to me which I know she wasn't.There had to be some mistake somewhere.A knock sounded on my door " Future Alpha, The Alpha has requested your presence in the war room".I continued staring at the ceiling, refusing to answer the guard at the door." Future Alpha!" He called again.I sighed before replying " I'm on my way"." He said I had to accompany you there".I sighed again, I've been doing that a lot lately.I stood up from my bed, opened the door and walked out of my room with the guard behind me. As I walked out, I refused to meet anyone's eye as they bowed to me, the last thing I wanted was to see hatred in the eyes of my people when all I was doing was thinking of their well-being.When I arrived at the war room, a place where we major
CASSANDRA’S POV." Wake up, you lazy lycan pup" I felt someone straddling my waist and jumping on my back" Go away, pest" I mumbled, using my hands to push away the disturbance of my holy sleepThud....... The next sound I heard as she fell to the groundThe next thing I knew, I was rolled off my bed and fell on the floor breaking my buttock" Ow! What the frigging hell?" I screamed" Oh! So it's painful when I do it?" She placed her arms on her waist glaring at me" Of course it is. I heard my butt bone crack, you nitwit" I screamed at her.Elia can be a cruel villain at times. One time, she threw into the lake when I refused to wake up and I was so damn tired that day that I didn't realize when she moved me from my bed into the lake at the forest" Well, that's not half bad. Just get ready, we need to be at the pack house for the announcement"" What announcement?" I raised my brows" Some important shifter is here, so they want to let us know of his presence and all that bullshit
ALPHA KING’S POV.I stared at the young lycan, shielding her from my gaze. Even after knowing I was her mate, she refused to move from there." Cassie" She stared at her mom " You need to move from there. You can't stop him from being with her, you know?"" No mom. I'm not trying to stop him, I've had enough drama with mates that the last thing I want is to interfere with one. But this is my friend we are talking about, and I'm not leaving here until she's ready to see him"She glared at me again and I chuckled" I've waited long enough, I think I can wait a little bit more"" But-"" Don't worry, Alpha. I've stopped my men from coming over here and I don't think your daughter will be ready to move unless my mate is ready herself. So the both of you can just go back and wait for her, and I promise that she'll go back immediately my mate decides to see me" I stared at her " Deal?"She rolled her eyes before shrugging " I'm not a fan of intimate scenes, so the minute she allows you to c
CASSANDRA’S POV." Are you sure he won't harm her at all?" I heard my mom say as I walked into the living room" I know he won't. The Alpha King holds his word in high esteem" My dad hugged her" But why isn't she back yet? I mean, it's been hours already" She whined. I rolled my eyes, she can be so dramatic at times" Calm down love, I'm sure she's on her way."" Your most missed has arrived" I said as I walked in to meet themMy mom left my dad's embrace and ran to hug me " My little lycan" Okay, I need to tell them to stop calling me that" Mom, you just saw me like theory minutes ago. Why are you so huggy?" I asked trying to escape her embrace" Shut up! What the hell were you thinking? Challenging the Alpha King like that?" She held me by my shoulders, frowning" One, I wasn't challenging him" Okay maybe I was........a little " Two, I had no idea who the hell he was.......at least up until some minutes ago" I rolled my eyes" Well that's not an excuse. I still don't understand ho
ALDER’S POV.My eyes opened as I looked around, wondering what woke me up.Then the knock came againI rubbed my face with my palm " Who is it?"The door opened to reveal my should-have-been BetaHe smirked, "You look like crap.""What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised that he came to talk to me." Why? Are you scared that I'm here to kill you?" " No, not really. I'm just curious" I laid back on my bed, crossed my hands behind my head and closed my eyes " But if that's what you are here to do, then go on with it. You won't receive any struggle from me."I heard him walk around the room, and I fell back to slumber. He might as well kill me nowI felt the world turn upside down, and I opened my eyes immediately to see my bed turned over as I fell and rolled away from the bed" I was expecting a knife to my chest or something, not this. Are you trying to leave pieces of evidence? That won't do you any good."" If you'll just shut up. I'm not here to kill you, at least not yet. I'm
ALDER’S POV.Two weeks later,After my incident with Jack, I refused to come out of my room except during lunch or when I needed to train which happened to be in the middle of the night because I didn't want to be disturbed by anyone or how people stared at me like I was some pitiful wolfMy parents weren't around as they had to leave the pack for some urgent meeting with the council, all orders came from Jack. He was acting as the Beta in the absence of the AlphaI was throwing heavy punches in the air when the mindlink came through" Alpha!"At first, I thought I misheard it because I wasn't Alpha anymore but then it came again"Alpha!"This time, I paused and stared into space, opening my mind to accept the link" Are you trying to reach me?" I asked shocked" There are rogues at the East border. We need your help"Not bothering to ask for more information, I shifted, allowing Crown to take over and headed straight for the borderI could smell the scent of rogues in the air and I i
JACK’S POV." What do you mean by the shift wasn't made?" I growled" I just received news that they never received any message for the shift"" And why are you just knowing that now? Didn't you confirm it earlier?"" I did, Beta. I mindlinked the boy and he told me that he had informed them." He argued back trying to explainThe chief guard wasn't sloppy in his duties, I knew he would have made sure the shift was made. So there was a mistake somewhere, something just wasn't right." When did the patrol guards leave all the station?"" At exactly 12am. At 11:30pm, I sent the messenger boy to inform the West wing about the shift. So that the patrol guards would be moving in while the East Wing guards would be moving out."I sighed, running my hair through my head. " But what has got you so worked up Beta? I can just ask the West wing guards to make the shift now"" I don't know what happened, but all I know is that the Future Alpha is being attacked at one of the borders"" What!""Th
