Xeros Romanov. The last Lycan alive and the Alpha king of all werewolves. Fated to be without a mate for all of eternity. He was terrifyingly cruel and vicious and ruled his people with an iron fist. That all seems to change when he sets his sight on sweet and innocent Cassie, The cursed daughter of an Alpha of a distant pack. He had the world in his grasp but somehow the sweet and untainted girl would become his world.

His hold on me slackened, and I could see the wheels in his head turning, trying to understand what I had asked.I shifted under his gaze, the weight of his silence growing heavier with each passing second. Finally, he blinked, his brow furrowing deeply.“You can feel Nox's presence?” he asked again slowly, as though testing the weight of his own words.I nodded, biting my lip as I tried to explain. “I... it's just today, when you were away. I could feel him like he was walking behind me. It's like this... presence. It’s not mine, but it’s familiar. And I know it’s him. I know it’s Nox. I can feel it.”“That... shouldn’t be possible,” Xeros breathed, trying to piece the puzzle together. “Nox is... he’s a part of me. You shouldn’t be able to feel him on your own.”“But I d
Xeros RomanovMy impatience was palpable as I sat before the court, listening to the boring and monotonous voices of the elders as they spoke about trade, rogues, and whatnot. None of that seemed to interest me. Instead, all I could think about was the dark-haired beauty nestled in the corners of my heart.Cassie.I physically itched to run back to the room and gather her into my arms, bury my face into her neck, and drown myself in her sweet scent. I wouldn’t mind dying if that was the last thing I ever smelled. If her round and beautiful eyes were the last thing I looked into as I closed my eyes into a state of serenity, that wouldn’t be death anymore, but rather heaven.Since I saw her, claimed her as mine, I had never voluntarily spent more than an hour away from her. Even if I wasn’t with her physically, I could still smell her scent from outside the door, still hear her ruffle with the blanket as she always did when she was nervous.Every moment away from her felt like an eterni
Cassiopeia NyxThe sunlight filtered through the windows as I glanced around the room drowsily. Another yawn escaped me as I sat up, the clock on the other side of the room speaking to me.7:53 a.m.How did I sleep through yesterday up until today? That was almost twelve hours. Where was Xeros?His side of the bed was empty, almost as if he hadn't even lain there. Immediately, my mind went back to the dungeons, and I almost bolted off the bed."Calm down, human. He went for a run," Cassie whispered, eliciting a sigh of relief from me.He was okay.I stretched slowly, my body still feeling the weight of exhaustion. With a sigh, I slipped out of bed and padded across the cool floor to the bathroom. A hot bath sounded like a good idea, something to help me wake up and calm the swirl of emotions inside. As I settled into the warm water, I closed my eyes, letting the heat relax my tense muscles.For a few minutes, I allowed myself to just be. No memories of the past. No thinking about the
Cassiopiea NyxThe journey back to moonstone was nothing but quiet, Hera growled at me all the way back, her anger was slowly seeping into the cracks of my soul, and suddenly I found myself getting angry too.Why did I have to take her in?She let me suffer, didn't she?I should let her suffer.But yet again, another part of me,the inner and dumb part of me spoke up, she was my sister, I couldn't let father do the same to her, what if he vented out all his frustrations on her..."Your kindness would be your own undoing, Human" Hera sighed, receding back into her place, the distant corners of my mind.Xeros pulled me flush into him as the car bumped up and down the road, His arm tightened around my waist, offering a silent wave of comfort. I could sense his unease—his protective instincts were heightened, especially now that Demetria was trailing behind us in a seperate car with Anakin. He didn’t trust her, and honestly, I wasn’t sure if I did either.But I couldn’t just leave her. I c
Xeros RomanovIt was the most beautiful thing I had seen.Even in the midst of the turmoil, I couldn’t help but be enthralled by it. So beautiful and so pure, like a daisy sprouting out of soil infused with years' worth of suffering and horror.Her smile.She was smiling at me.Her eyes widened a little, and she slapped her hand over her mouth, glancing around with wide eyes like she had done something so grave. I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face as my arms tightened around her waist even more.I couldn’t explain how I felt. She told me she didn’t think of me as a monster anymore. She didn’t know how long I had wished for someone to say that to me, how long I had craved even a fraction of what I felt at this very moment.“Are you ready to leave, Angel?” I murmured, her scent swallowing me whole as she stood impossibly close to me. Her eyes widened in realization as she glanced around at the kneeling figures of the Nightwolf pack still in view. It seemed she had forgo
Cassiopeia NyxSilence prevailed for a few seconds, and I found myself daring to look up, to face my tormentors. They all bowed to me, as if I was greater than them, as if they hadn’t squashed me under their feet like I was insignificant. My eyes remained solely on one person, Demetria. I hadn't seen her in years; she never came to visit me in the dungeons, and she never even tried to help me. She didn't do anything—she was just like the rest of them.“May I stand?” she asked, her voice meek, as if she could not hold back against defying Xeros's command, yet it carried through the silence.Xeros nodded, his gaze unwavering as he eyed her with uncertainty. “Stand.”With that, she approached the stand, her movements hesitant. She knelt before me, her head bowed, and my heart twisted in my chest. I took a few steps back, pulling Xeros with me a little. What could she possibly say?“Cassie,” she began, her voice trembling. “I—I know I’ve done wrong by you.” Her eyes met mine, filled with
Cassiopeia Nyx "You stupid and insolent mutt!" Xeros roared, his shoulders raised in indignation, the sheer fury in his voice sending a shiver down my spine.For a moment, I found myself stepping forward, instinctively wanting to go to him, to pacify his anger. But Anakin grabbed my arm, pulling me back with a firm hand. His eyes darkened, giving me a silent warning to stay out of it.I stood frozen, my fingers nervously fiddling with the hem of Anakin's coat as he pulled me closer to him. His eyes scanned the area, and mine followed too, watching the pack members—my pack members—scurry away from the vicinity, scrambling to get back into the pack house in a bid to escape his anger.But my father—he was determined to test that storm. Xeros’s rage only seemed to fuel his defiance.With a swift, almost undecipherable motion, Xeros’s hand shot out, grabbing my father roughly by the throat. A gasp escaped me as I watched in horror, my eyes widening at the sight. My father’s legs kicked he
Cassiopeia NyxMorning came faster than I could have anticipated. It felt as if the night went by in the twinkle of an eye. The maids came to dress me, but I hardly paid attention. My mind kept morphing and twisting through multiple images. Xeros had left before I woke up. Anakin explained to me that he went for a run, attempting to cool himself down before embarking on the journey.By the time he came back, we were already dressed and ready. Anakin accompanied us, along with a few pack members, in case of any issues that arose.As soon as Xeros returned, he sought me out like always. Before I could even speak, he pulled me into his arms, wrapping them tightly around my waist as he nuzzled his face into my neck, inhaling deeply. For a moment, our close contact seemed to wash away my worries. Apparently, it had an effect because the cold look in his eyes, which he'd carried since the day I stepped into the dungeon, vanished completely.It didn’t take long before we arrived at the Night
Xeros RomanovHer words caused my chest to constrict, a blend of pride and fear running through me. She was delicate yet resilient, bravely confronting her fears despite the daunting and unsettling nature of it all."You don't have to pretend to be brave, Cassie," I murmured, gently stroking her cheek. She trembled all over while facing me, separated by the bars. "I have enough strength for the both of us."She hesitated before looking up to meet my gaze, then quickly looked away. "I... I must go," she stammered. I could sense the internal battle she was fighting as her body shook while she spoke. Even though she was afraid, there was a sense of determination in her demeanor that showed how committed she was to fulfilling this task, regardless of her fear."Cassie," I whispered, moving nearer to the bars, "you're not obligated to do anything for them. You don't need to repay me. You have exceeded all expectations."Her eyes flickered up to mine again, wide and uncertain, but she shook
