(Cassie's POV)

I managed to control the irresistible impulse to go after Jace and demand answers for this new switch in his behavior. I just didn't have it in me to do something as brazen as that.

I opted to take the long route home after failing to clear my head. As I walked, my mind swirled with thoughts. And being as occupied as I was, I didn't notice the Audi driving slowly next to me to match my pace. I didnโ€™t even hear the driver tooting his horn obnoxiously, to the chagrin of other pedestrians.

โ€œCass!โ€ shouted a familiar voice.

I glanced toward the direction of the voice only to see Jacksonโ€™s face staring in my direction.

However, I was not in the mood to entertain him. With merely a glance at him, I continued with my forward march.

How nice it would have been if it were Jace who had stopped beside me.

When Jackson noticed me ignoring him, an annoyed lock crept onto his face, and he yelled, โ€œHey what was that for? Iโ€˜m talking to you, Cass!โ€

I frowned as my mood soured. I

    (Cassie's POV) I reluctantly opened my eyes because the sunlight caused discomfort to them. I spent quite some time adapting myself to the brightness as I groaned and turned to my side. When I sat up to change out of last night's clothes, I was surprised to find myself in my room. I made a confused face. What happened? Didn't I drink with Jackson and fall asleep by the river? Why am I at home now? โ€œHow did I get here?โ€ I muttered to myself. Did Jackson bring me home? โ€œBut I thought I saw Jace last night.โ€Could it have been him? All these thoughts raced in my pounding head as I tried to recall how I had made my way home. However, I rejected the thought of Jace being the one who brought me home the moment it surfaced in my mind. That one's out. He wasn't even around to know when I decided to go out for the walk. So I figured he couldn't have brought me home. Besides, he couldn't possibly do it, for he didnโ€™t even know I had been out drinking with Jackson by the river. In that

    (Cassie's POV) I stared hard at the words on the stick wondering if they would disappear. โ€œPregnant?โ€ Sasha asked. โ€œPregnantโ€ I mumbled in reply. โ€œOh my goodness, I'm going to be a mother!โ€ Sasha shrieked. I dropped on the bed, still in shock. โ€œWhat's wrong?โ€ my wolf stilled.โ€œNothing I'm just... I'm pregnant?โ€ I whispered, breathing hard. No. Maybe it's just nature playing tricks on me. โ€œYeah, yeah. Maybe it's thatโ€ I chuckled to myself, shaking my head. โ€œWell then take another one thenโ€ Sasha suggested. โ€œYes, yes. You're rightโ€ I nodded in agreement and walked back into the bathroom. I took out a new test kit and re-took the test. โ€œPregnantโ€ I read out loud. I took another one. โ€œPregnantโ€ I read the results again. Oh my goodness. There was no way there'd be this many false positives. โ€œI really am expecting a baby then.โ€โ€œNo shitโ€ Sasha chuckled. Now I had to find a way to tell Jace he was going to be a father. โ€œWhat should I do now?โ€ I asked myself. I gasped when

    PROLOGUE (Cassie's POV) They kept staring at me like I was lying. They still didn't believe me, especially that man. He was tall, had these gorgeous blue eyes and dark brown hair, and the most tempting lips I'd ever... wait. This didn't feel right. I was supposed to be finding out how I got here not daydreaming about some person. โ€œSo you're telling me that you don't remember anything? Not even your own bloody name?โ€ he asked again, in his thick British accent. I nodded. โ€œUnbelievableโ€ he breathed rubbing his forehead. โ€œSweetheart, we're just trying to help youโ€ a lady, probably his sister, because they looked alike, added. โ€œBut I can't remember anythingโ€ I replied as something kicked me on the inside.I couldn't help but groan. โ€œAre you okay?โ€ the man asked and moved closer to my side. I shifted back uncomfortably. โ€œNikki, call the doctorโ€ he paused at my reaction and told the other lady standing nearby with the wild curly hair. She nodded and walked out. Just then I felt s

    Six years later~New York City~(Cassie's POV) My footsteps echoed as I walked toward him. Each step reminded me of the pain he put me through and fury burned through my veins. โ€œBoss, the female's been taken care of.โ€I nodded. โ€œI'll handle this one myself. Thank you, boys.โ€I grabbed a gun. โ€œWhy are you doing this?โ€ he asked. Really? He had the nerve to actually ask why. โ€œBecause I want to.โ€โ€œDarling...โ€โ€œSo long Jaceโ€ I whispered and blew him a kiss before pulling the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed in the old warehouse as his body hung lifeless. โ€œI loved you.โ€โ€œAND CUT!โ€ Marcus called out. The cast cheered. โ€œYayyyy!โ€ I screamed and hugged him. โ€œThat was fantastic Ms. Adler,โ€ he said. โ€œGreat acting.โ€โ€œYour emotions didn't feel like it was actingโ€ the man I'd just fake shot chuckled. He has no idea. โ€œYou don't sayโ€ I smiled. My phone beeped as the gun was taken away from me. โ€œOh sorry boys, I've gotta go. Happy New Year!โ€ I called out and rushed out of the set.

    (Cassie's POV) โ€œWhere are we going momma?โ€ Max asked. โ€œMaybe it's a surpriseโ€ Mia added. โ€œYou guys! Mommy's on the phone! Be quiet!โ€ Madison scolded. I smiled to myself before focusing on the voice at the other side of the phone. โ€œSo I need to come to the studio?โ€ I asked. The reply I got made me sigh. โ€œOkay but first I'll get something from the office. Then I'll be there. Okay, bye now.โ€ โ€œWell?โ€ they chorused I glanced at the backseat and their eyes were filled with so much excitement that I couldn't help but chuckle.โ€œFirst we stop at the office, then we go to the studio.โ€โ€œWhere you filmed your movie?โ€ Max asked with a wide grin. โ€œIt was just a feature, baby. Only one episode. It's not that big of a dealโ€ I chuckled. โ€œI'm going to be really important like you, Mommyโ€ Mia said with determination. I chuckled. โ€œMommy look!โ€ Madison gasped, pointing out the window at the big screen. I slowed down the car and looked out the window to where she was pointing. โ€œIt's you, Mommy!

    (Jace's POV) I came back from my morning jog, exhausted and I couldn't find anyone. I dropped onto the couch and pulled out my phone. โ€œLadies, we have to get that plan together if we wanna look goodโ€ Ruby walked in speaking loudly into her phone. โ€œNo, I'm serious. Marla has to get a taste of her own medicine. Bitch's a real bitch.โ€ โ€œRuby?โ€ I called out to her. She turned and gave me a cold look.โ€œWhat?โ€ she asked, as cold as her stare was. โ€œI'm on the phone.โ€I took a long good look at her. โ€œWhat is that on your face?โ€ I asked. โ€œAnd what have you done to your nails?โ€She chuckled nastily.โ€œAnd since when did you start to care?โ€ she frowned. โ€œHow is me putting on makeup and getting my nails done, going to make your miserable life any better, hm?โ€ Jeez, I knew puberty sometimes got to girls but this... I just... wow. โ€œSorry I askedโ€ I apologized, โ€œBut hey, could you pleaseโ€”โ€She didn't wait for me to finish when she walked out. What has gotten into her today? She wasn't like thi

    (Cassie's POV) ~2 weeks later~The pilot landed the plane and clapping erupted inside the plane. โ€œLadies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have now arrived in Los Angeles. On behalf of the entire crew, I would like to thank you for choosing to fly with us today. We hope you had a pleasant journey and we look forward to serving you again in the future. Please remain seated until the seatbelt sign has been turned off. Remember to collect your bags from the baggage claim once you exit the plane. Thank you and enjoy your stay in LA!โ€ the speaker went off. โ€œTay, could you grab my bag, please?โ€ I asked. โ€œSure, Aunt Cass.โ€ After getting all our bags, the limo was waiting for us. โ€œYou own a limo?โ€ Taylor asked. โ€œKids go inside,โ€ I said then turned to Taylor who stood rooted to the spot. โ€œI do, Tay. Now let's get going. I need to check out the house later today.โ€โ€œOkay. But can I move in with you?โ€ she asked with a laugh.I chuckled. โ€œC'mon.โ€ ~ ~ ~ โ€œSo what do you think

    (Cassie's POV) I looked at the house and smiled. Finally! I turned the doorknob and gasped. โ€œIt's gorgeousโ€ I managed to say.I looked around some more entering each room. I see Mia's. โ€œIt's amazing,โ€ Kristie said I nodded and smiled. โ€œIt's perfect for her.โ€Next, we move to Max's and it's absolutely amazing. โ€œHe's going to love itโ€ I chuckled. โ€œOver the moon.โ€ We went across to the other side and entered through the door on the right. โ€œI'm guessing it's Madison's roomโ€ I gushed. Kristie nodded. โ€œThe agent said they took more time on this one than any other room in this house.โ€โ€œWell it definitely paid off because I love it,โ€ I said, looking around. โ€œNow this is a room I'd sleep in any timeโ€ I admitted and took a seat on the bed. โ€œOhh it's so softโ€ I laughed. โ€œThe kids are going to love it.โ€She walked over to a door in the room. โ€œThis leads to your room.โ€I smiled and stood up from the bed to go see. Kristie wasn't kidding. The door connected to my room. โ€œThis is so coolโ€

    3 years later...(Cassie's POV) โ€œHoney please stay still. You'll wrinkle your dressโ€ I groaned as I tried to comb Mia's hair. โ€œMom, it hurts!โ€ she whined and pulled away. โ€œWell you didn't want to use the de-tangling shampoo, remember?โ€ I scolded. โ€œC'mon, we have to hurry before your sister wakes up.โ€I grabbed her hand. โ€œNoooo, I don't wanna. It hurts!โ€ she whined louderโ€œOh, Mia...โ€A loud cry came from my room and I knew the little one was awake. โ€œMom! 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. โ€œI've got it Mrs. Graham, don't worry,โ€ she said, taking the brush from my hand. I sighed. โ€œGo check up on the baby,โ€ she told me. I nodded and gave her a grateful look before walking into the nursery. โ€œMomma!โ€ she let out when she saw me. โ€œMommy'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) โ€œHappy 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. โ€œI better get going. Michael's freaking out alreadyโ€ he chuckled, kissing my temple. โ€œWhy would Michael be freaking out?โ€ I asked, throwing my hair in a messy bun. Jace gave me a confused look. โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked, pinning the bun. โ€œI just asked why Michael would be...โ€Then it hit me. How could I possibly forget?!โ€œOh my goodness! Today's the wedding?!โ€ I cried out. โ€œYou forgot?โ€ he asked. โ€œWhat?! Noโ€ I lied. Jace chuckled. โ€œWhat 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. ~ ~ ~โ€œSorry I'm la

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.โ€œHow're you feeling Ms. Adler?โ€ she asked.โ€œHow long have I been asleep?โ€โ€œOnly 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. โ€œWho are you?โ€โ€œI'm Sharon. Doctor Elise asked me to stay with you till you wake up.โ€ โ€œWell, now I'm up so you can go. Thank you, but your service isn't needed anymoreโ€ I said firmly, groaning a little. โ€œSharon's not going anywhereโ€ my dad's voice boomed from the doorway. โ€œMr. Adlerโ€ Sharon greeted and bowed down at him. โ€œShe's been recommended by Elise so she stays till you're better.โ€โ€œDaddy, 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. โ€œJaceโ€ he called when he entered. Jace looked up and raised his eyebrows. โ€œYeah?โ€ he said impatiently. โ€œWe think we picked up a scent trail on your daughter.โ€I 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. โ€œJace!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. โ€œReally?โ€ he chuckled and climbed off me. I laughed. โ€œI'm sorry, it's just that you looked so good sleeping, I just had toโ€. He looked down at me. โ€œI'm sorry!โ€ I cried playfully and hugged him. โ€œDon't be mad, please?โ€ I said in a tiny voice and pecked his cheek. He grinned. โ€œYou're weird as shit,โ€ he said between laughs and I nodded in agreement. He pulled me in for a hug. โ€œI love youโ€ I breathed in his chest as he kissed my forehead. โ€œMe moreโ€ he replied. โ€œGo 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

Standing in front of the mirror, tilted her head.โ€œNo,โ€ she said and took it off.She tried on another dress.โ€œNo!โ€ she screamed and dropped on the bed.Alec rolled his eyes and continued to cut through the paper.โ€œI have nothing to wear for tonight! Alec help meโ€ she pleaded.He ignored her and continued to cut the paper.โ€œGive my back my scissors!โ€ she said and took back her scissors.โ€œWhat do you want me to do?โ€ he asked with a sigh. โ€œWhat is the matter with you?โ€โ€œI'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. โ€œWhat are you doing?โ€ Cassidy asked. โ€œAlec, I am speaking to you!โ€โ€œI'm going to Cassandra's.

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

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.โ€œCome in,โ€ I said looking through the paperwork. โ€œAre 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. โ€œSorry, I didn't realize it was you.โ€Jace chuckled. โ€œBut it's a shame I have only one pencilโ€ I sighed. โ€œWhat can I help you with Mr. Graham?โ€โ€œCass, I'm sorry about the kiss...โ€โ€œWhat kiss?โ€ I asked, si
