Mark of an Alpha's Mate ย ย ย Chapter 21
(Jace's POV) It had been almost four hours since I went back to sleep and Cassandra left to go try on the dresses for the wedding. I woke up and she wasn't still back. โHow can she leave us alone for this long?โ my wolf growled. โHow about we have a little fun while we wait?โ I smirked, grabbing my phone. I dialed a few numbers and asked for a favor from each one of them. โThis is going to be funโ I chuckled and sat back to watch the show. (Cassie's POV) Summer got Ruby and Rose so they could try on their dresses. โYou like it?โ I asked the twins. Rose nodded and smiled brightly up at me. โAnd the flowers I get to put in my hair. Thank you Cassโ she said. โI don't,โ Ruby said with a frown. I turned to her. โYou don't?โ I asked nervously. โIt could use a little more sparkleโ she sighed. I scratched my head.โWell okay. I'll just take out the bodice and get a newโโโRelax. I love it!โ she giggled. I let out a sigh and laughed along. Ruby jumped around. โLook at these sh

(Cassie's POV) The hall was beautifully decorated. It felt like stepping right into a fairytale. We had Natรกn step in to be MC and it was just what the reception needed. I stood in the corner wondering how Jace was doing without me. Sure he was okay. I mean he could get up, walk, take a shower, and even get mad at Chris for breathing the same air I did. But he still needed rest to fully recover. โCassandraโ Abigail whispered over to me. I turned. โWhy are we whispering?โ I asked.โI'm hungryโ she pouted. I chuckled. โYou know you're not supposed to eat until later right?โ I asked. โI know that. But can't you just sneak me one of your Abuela's special arepa? It smells so good. And it's not right to starve a pregnant woman.โI looked towards the food section. โHow can you smell it all the way from here?โ I chuckled. โHormones. Now get me that arepa, please?โ she pleaded pushing me towards the food bar. I chuckled and got her more than just one arepa. She thanked me as she stu

The days flew by and no one had heard anything from Chris. He was last spotted in the territory of the Mid Hunters Pack where he created a scene and killed some of the pack guards. Meanwhile, Cassandra and Jace were getting even closer. Natรกn finally accepted that Isabel was his mate and they marked each other. It was pretty obvious since the two of them had been in love with each other since they were kids. The school year was also slowly coming to an end and all the seniors were going to be in college soon. โMorning everyoneโ Cassandra chirped as she walked into the kitchen. โWell you look happyโ Summer immediately noticed before sharing a la bise. โHey, is it me or like you've gotten extensionsโ Montana observed, touching Cassandra's hair. โWhen did you get extensions, Cass?โ Summer asked. โI haven'tโ Cassandra answered, pulling away from Montana. โI think you two need to get your eyes checked.โShe grabbed an apple but before she could take a bite, Jace sneaked up to her and

(Cassie's POV) I stood on the balcony and sucked in a deep breath. โCassieโ Summer called out coming into our room. I turned around and she grinned. โWe need you downstairs and I definitely want to borrow that dress,โ she said. I smiled. Summer was the fashionista in the whole family and Ruby was definitely taking after her. I was in a white polka-dotted lavender top with a pair of black jeans and yellow flats. I nodded and followed her downstairs.โWhere's everyone?โ I asked, glancing around the foyer. โIn the kitchenโ Summer answered and tugged me there. It looked like a vegetable farm had exploded in there. The entire kitchen was filled with nothing but greens. โAre we having some sort of vegetable party?โ I scoffed. โSweetheart, do you mind passing me the basket?โ Michelle asked. She looked like she was trying hard not to panic. I grabbed the vegetable basket and handed it to her. โI'm going to get a drink,โ I said and walked over to the fridge. I pulled it open and

(Jace's POV) Grandma Tilly had always been the same. She didn't agree when my dad chose to marry my mom. No one knew what her problem was. To have two blondes fight over me was supposed to be fun for a player like me but it wasn't. โJaceโ Yolanda called, settling down beside me. I turned up the volume of the TV in order not to hear her. She moved closer to me, my eyes not leaving the TV. โI didn't like what your girlfriend did to me, you knowโ she purred. โBut... because I like you very... very much...โ she whispered, her lips brushing my ear and causing me to flinch in uncomfortableness, โI'll let it go, baby.โ โGet away from her now!โ my inner wolf, Zade, snarled. I caught the scent of lavender and roses and I sat up. โOur mate's here!โ Zade growled. I glanced in the doorway and she was standing there. โErm... I've gotta go, Missโ I immediately said to Yolanda and jumped off the couch. โWait a minute, I just got here. And we're supposed to get to know each other if we're g

(Cassie's POV) I repeatedly hit the punching bag. โHarder Cassandra! Harder!โ Calvin barked at me. I rolled my eyes. Did he know how hard it was for me? It had been three months and I was still training. โImagine Alpha Jace was in trouble and you were fighting the enemies to save him!โI chuckled.โTechnically, it's supposed to be the opposite... since that's not how the stories usually go. My mate is supposed to protect me and do the saving, not the other way around. I mean I didn't ask to be the damsel in distress but that's how you've all painted it soโโ โJust shut up and punch the bag harder!โ he barked even louder. I kept my mouth shut. โImagine that bag you're punching was Yolandaโ Summer panted, punching hers too. A new sense of fury filled me up and I punched the bag even harder than before. Summer grinned. โYes! That's more like it, Cassandra! Keep at it!โ Calvin yelled with satisfaction. A short while later, we heard the whistle. We could finally stop. โAlright, g

(Cassie's POV) In the heart of the woods, on a moonlit night, I found myself surrounded by towering trees, their branches reaching out like gnarled fingers. Where am I? The air was thick with an eerie stillness, broken only by the rustling of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl. โJace? Are you here?โ As I cautiously stepped forward, my senses suddenly heightened, acutely aware of every sound and movement.โBe carefulโ my wolf spoke to me. The moon had cast a pale glow, illuminating patches of the forest floor, while casting deep shadows elsewhere. โWhere are we? Do you recognize this place?โ I asked back. When no response came, I sighed. The place felt awfully familiar. But I wasn't sure where or when I'd been here in this part of the woods. But it was in one of these very shadowy pockets that I heard itโ a soft, melodic voice, barely audible, yet captivating. What was that? It seemed to emanate from deeper within the woods, beckoning me closer. My heart raced as curiosity

Cassandra came down the stairs holding hands with the Graham twins. โSo you promise to let us play dress up with you when you get back?โ Ruby asked. โYes I promise, Ruโ Cassandra answered. โAnd we'll go get ice cream and then you'll play unicorn princess tea party with me?โ Rose added. โOf course my littlest flower...โ Cassandra grinned, softly pinching Rose's cheek, โand my precious jewelโ she added and equally pinched Ruby's cheek softly. โAnd may I know where you're going?โ Jace asked, cutting in front of his girlfriend as she stepped on the landing. โMy parents'โ Cassandra answered with a chuckle, letting go of the girls so they could go do whatever nine-year-olds did. โYour parents'โ Jace echoed. โYeah,โ she smiled, gingerly kissing his cheek and hoping that the frown on his face would disappear. It didn't. โWell, why didn't you bother to tell me earlier?โ Jace asked. โI'm telling you now, aren't I, Jace Graham?โ โWell, you should have given me at least a two days noti

3 years later...(Cassie's POV) โHoney please stay still. You'll wrinkle your dressโ I groaned as I tried to comb Mia's hair. โMom, it hurts!โ she whined and pulled away. โWell you didn't want to use the de-tangling shampoo, remember?โ I scolded. โC'mon, we have to hurry before your sister wakes up.โI grabbed her hand. โNoooo, I don't wanna. It hurts!โ she whined louderโOh, Mia...โA loud cry came from my room and I knew the little one was awake. โMom! There's no toilet paper!โ Max cried out. I groaned and looked at Mia who sat there rubbing her head. I opened my mouth to scold her when Kristie walked in. โI've got it Mrs. Graham, don't worry,โ she said, taking the brush from my hand. I sighed. โGo check up on the baby,โ she told me. I nodded and gave her a grateful look before walking into the nursery. โMomma!โ she let out when she saw me. โMommy's here babyโ I cooed and picked her up. I kissed her and wiped her tears. She buried her face in the crook of my neck and I g

~Two months later(Cassie's POV) โHappy birthday...โ I heard a voice whisper. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Jace smiling at me. I smiled back and he helped me up. โI better get going. Michael's freaking out alreadyโ he chuckled, kissing my temple. โWhy would Michael be freaking out?โ I asked, throwing my hair in a messy bun. Jace gave me a confused look. โWhat?โ I asked, pinning the bun. โI just asked why Michael would be...โThen it hit me. How could I possibly forget?!โOh my goodness! Today's the wedding?!โ I cried out. โYou forgot?โ he asked. โWhat?! Noโ I lied. Jace chuckled. โWhat are you still doing here anyway? Go already, the best man can't be lateโ I said and pushed him out the door. I hurried to take a quick shower and decided to dress there so I don't waste time. Thankfully, my bump doesn't really show in the dress. I fixed my hair and put on some makeup before slipping on my shoes. I grabbed my purse and headed out to my parent's house. ~ ~ ~โSorry I'm la

(Cassie's POV)I groaned and got back under the covers.Covers?!I forced my eyes open and the bright light from the windows blinded me. I groaned again as my stomach let out a rumble and pulled myself to sit up.A lady dressed in white stood up and walked towards me with a wide smile plastered on her face. I rubbed my temple.โHow're you feeling Ms. Adler?โ she asked.โHow long have I been asleep?โโOnly two daysโ she replies. Only?! Which means all the other packs were gone by now. I eyed her before speaking up again. She's pretty. โWho are you?โโI'm Sharon. Doctor Elise asked me to stay with you till you wake up.โ โWell, now I'm up so you can go. Thank you, but your service isn't needed anymoreโ I said firmly, groaning a little. โSharon's not going anywhereโ my dad's voice boomed from the doorway. โMr. Adlerโ Sharon greeted and bowed down at him. โShe's been recommended by Elise so she stays till you're better.โโDaddy, I don't need a nanny.

(Cassie's POV)News traveled fast in our pack. Everyone came to express their sympathy, acting like my baby was dead. I walked out of the gym through the door of the pack house and everyone stopped to bow to me as I passed by. Not forgetting to add sympathetic looks. I moved into the living room and dropped on the couch, avoiding eye contact with everyone. The door leading to Jace's office was wide open. I saw him standing behind his desk flipping through some paperwork. Max and Mia left with Emily and Nicole back to London for their safety. Jude was nowhere to be found and Andrรฉ decided to stay back. Cassidy was in a wheelchair... but only temporarily. I glanced at Michael as he passed. He smiled sadly at me before walking into Jace's office. โJaceโ he called when he entered. Jace looked up and raised his eyebrows. โYeah?โ he said impatiently. โWe think we picked up a scent trail on your daughter.โI sat upright as Jace walked around the desk and stood right in front of Micha

(Cassie's POV) I stood in the doorway of the bedroom and stared at him in awe. He was so adorable when he was sleeping. Max looked so much like him. I smiled to myself as a mischievous grin appeared on my face. โJace!โ I screamed as I jumped on top of his sleeping.He grabbed me and threw me underneath him, his hand over my mouth. I waved. โReally?โ he chuckled and climbed off me. I laughed. โI'm sorry, it's just that you looked so good sleeping, I just had toโ. He looked down at me. โI'm sorry!โ I cried playfully and hugged him. โDon't be mad, please?โ I said in a tiny voice and pecked his cheek. He grinned. โYou're weird as shit,โ he said between laughs and I nodded in agreement. He pulled me in for a hug. โI love youโ I breathed in his chest as he kissed my forehead. โMe moreโ he replied. โGo take a shower,โ I said and let him go. (Jace's POV) Once I was done showering, I called out to Cassandra to hand me a towel which she did. I stepped out in my boxers and saw her

She grabbed a dress and tried it on. Standing in front of the mirror, tilted her head.โNo,โ she said and took it off.She tried on another dress.โNo!โ she screamed and dropped on the bed.Alec rolled his eyes and continued to cut through the paper.โI have nothing to wear for tonight! Alec help meโ she pleaded.He ignored her and continued to cut the paper.โGive my back my scissors!โ she said and took back her scissors.โWhat do you want me to do?โ he asked with a sigh. โWhat is the matter with you?โโI'll tell you. I don't like how you treat Cassandra. She's our sister for Pete's sake! And I don't like you hanging around with Blair. She's changing you; you're changing. You're not the big sister I looked up to and admired anymore. You're a spoilt little brat and I can't live with you anymoreโ he said and grabbed his pillow. โWhat are you doing?โ Cassidy asked. โAlec, I am speaking to you!โโI'm going to Cassandra's.

Her face... all bruised up.โOh,โ they chorused.โI thought I told you to rest,โ Elise said firmly.โI don't need to rest. I'm fineโ Blair said looking directly at me.โThere, she said it. She's fine.

(Cassie's POV)Time flew by.Summer found out Andrรฉ was her mate and she was beyond excited. I formed a really tight bond with my baby brother. I loved him to bits. I can't really say the same thing about Cassidy though. I mean that girl was a pain in the everything. So moving on. Blair and I hadn't been getting along, but that wasn't anything new. Jace had been trying to bond with Madison but it wasn't not really working out. And speaking of Jace... A knock interrupted me.โCome in,โ I said looking through the paperwork. โAre you still mad about the kiss?โ he asked. I seized up the yellow pencil lying on the desk and threw it. It sailed through the air and struck the wall just next to Jace's head, where it struck, vibrating. His eyes widened for a second and I smiled faintly. โSorry, I didn't realize it was you.โJace chuckled. โBut it's a shame I have only one pencilโ I sighed. โWhat can I help you with Mr. Graham?โโCass, I'm sorry about the kiss...โโWhat kiss?โ I asked, si

I gave them my autograph and took selfies with them.โI don't know but I feel it's a girl,โ I say. โNo. I want it to be perfect.โI saw Montana walk in and look at me. โErr... Ray, I've gotta go.
