Cassia’s POV

“Good morning, Aunty.” I woke to see Aunt Beatrice by the fireplace blowing steam from a cup she was holding.

Her petite frame slouched perfectly into a small sofa. Around her were balls of used tissues that had crimson stains on them, reminding me of how little time I had with her.

The name Aunty still sounded strange on my lips. Can't believe I have never addressed anyone by that before. Like ever. Still trying to wrap my head around that.

“How was your night's rest?” She took a sip from her cup right after she spoke.

“For one my back hurts. Two…” I didn't want to be rude or bitch about it. She raised one of her eyebrows when I paused. “I slept just fine.”

She smiled as though sensing the turmoil going on within me. “You are just like your mother, you know that right? Always putting people's feelings first. You are allowed to complain and speak your mind, you know.” Her voice was velvety and smooth like silk, still it was a bit rough round the edges.

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 30

    Talon’s POVWhy the hell does he keep blaming me? When I have no slightest idea where Cassia went. I can't think of any other place either. The places we used to visit as kids had been demolished and newer buildings were erected.Magnus is always agitated. But not this much. I can see it in his eyes. It shows in his body language. But I can also tell this doesn't just stem from the fact that he’s mated to her. There is something else. He’s scared of breaking a promise. Scared of losing himself in the process. Not that I care about him. Man only thinks about himself and things that benefit him. I know because I’ve lived with him for years. I got tired of the breadcrumbs and decided to make a name for myself.“We’ve still not found anything. It's almost midnight.” “We'll keep looking. She got lost in our pack. I want to sleep peacefully. We can't declare war against my step-father’s pack. We’ll never win. ” I steered him towards Magnus. “Look at him. Tell me what you see.” He stare

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 29

    Jasmine’s POV My chest flared as Talon whispered those words. He was strong but whenever he was in the presence of his step-father, he'd just change into a weakling completely. Let’s just say he was intimidated by his father. I have come to notice he has a little daddy issues here and there. Always seeking validation from his father. Always doing things so he can prove to his father he is strong and worthy of his love. Tragic.His step-father was screwing his ex-mate. If he didn't see the man didn't give a shit about him. Then he’s not as smart as I thought he is.I hissed after Talon's words and walked away. Once I got to my room I banged the door shut. Such an attention whore. She just got here and she's managed to turn everyone into hunting dogs. Same thing that whore of her mother did to my dad. Took his attention from me. Good thing she didn't live long, otherwise, I’m sure she would've found a means to throw me out of the house. Knock Knock. A knock sounded on the door. “L

    Magnus POV The meeting with Talon ended. He gave me the file containing everything and the person who was responsible. Still, there is this gut feeling that says this is not the right person. There were pot holes in the information he presented. For some reason I couldn't seem to connect the dots. There was no objective either. Maybe Cassia will have better luck seeing the person who works in her company.Though I am still pissed at her for earlier. I will be the bigger person and set aside our differences and get this over with, so she can go back to being the Cassia I know. I miss the old one.Talon brought out his hand for a handshake. I looked at it disdainfully. “Come on, dad. I have helped you.Can't we just act normal?” “Go to hell, Talon.” I walked away from him. I slid into the car seat, closed the door. “We got what we needed.” I said it without looking at her seat. She was awfully quiet so I turned to her seat. It was empty. Did I fail to tell her not to wander about?

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 27

    Cassia’s POV I stared at her with a lump in my throat, feeling the nausea building up in my mouth. My surprise didn’t seem to face her. She stood there smiling at me like she had known me my entire life. Like she had known me before I was formed in the womb.Her hair was completely gray, not a single strand of black anywhere. She was not so tall. She sneezed and her curls bounced forward, covering her feebled cheek bones. The silk linen she wore laid on her frame perfectly giving her the perfect silhouette. There was something about her eyes—green like emeralds. It reminded me of the people I have lost. One in particular. My mom.“Who are you?” I managed to ask through the fear that made my teeth clench. “I know who you are, Cassia.” My name on her tongue sent a shiver down my spine. I looked at her face again, trying to register the features in my brain. “I still do not know who you are. ” “You will soon enough,” There was a hit of amusement in her voice. “Come on, will you?” S

  • He Chose My Step-Sister and I Chose His Step-father    Chapter 26

    Cassia’s POVI pressed down on the brakes instantly, making us jerk forward. As the car came to a stop, I heard a thud or crash sound. I must've collided into the car that was coming behind us. Not that I care. Not at the moment. Not with the way my chest is fuming.“Why did you do that, Cassia? You would have gotten yourself injured,” “Not the answer to my question, Magnus. “What is the meaning of this? Clearly there are several other shooting ranges we could’ve gone to. Why are we going to Rowridge’s?” He said nothing, just looked at me. Unfazed. I nodded my head. At the realization. “You planned this didn't you? You did this on purpose. To take me there? To use me for your revenge against your son?”“Revenge?” He furrowed his brows. "What the fuck are you talking about?”He looked at me like I was a child spewing nonsense. Maybe I was. My thoughts were just spiraling out of control. “Isn't that the reason you married me in the first place? Now you want to take me back there?
