Chapter 4

Arlene
The day after the trial, Cedric came to see me with a nomination form in hand.

"Cassandra, you took first place in the trial. If you nominate me for Alpha King, the Elders will have no reason to object. Of course, once I'm Alpha King, I'll make sure the New Moon Pack is well taken care of. You can be my right-hand woman."

I could hardly believe what I was hearing.

After everything he'd done, he still expected me to help him take the throne.

Cedric paused, then added, "I can put you in charge of guarding the royal palace. Elena doesn't have a wolf, so you can protect her and our cubs too."

So that was his grand plan for me. He wanted Elena as his mate and me as their guard.

I didn't even touch the nomination form. "I'll announce my decision tonight at your bonding ceremony with Elena."

Cedric left with a satisfied smile, clearly convinced I'd agree.

That night, the bonding ceremony began in the moonlight.

Cedric sank his fangs into Elena's neck, sealing their mate bond.

Elena turned to me with a smug smile. "Cassandra, so what if you're strong? So what if you took first place in the trial? In the end, I'm the one who got Cedric."

I ignored her and waited for the old Alpha King.

The moment Aldric arrived, every pack leader turned to look at him.

Everyone knew he was there to name the next Alpha King.

But Aldric didn't even look at Cedric or Elena.

"The Silver Moon Pack's defenses failed, and vampires nearly ambushed its members. You let a wolfless girl send your warriors away. Because of that, Omegas and cubs were injured. Cedric, you don't deserve the throne."

Cedric's face fell. "If not me, who else is fit to be Alpha King?"

Heavy footsteps broke the silence.

A man strode toward us, his clothes covered in blood. It was Clarence Blackwood—Cedric's younger brother.

He had driven off the rogues and taken care of the vampire spies himself.

Aldric stepped forward, his eyes filled with approval.

"Clarence will take the throne!"

Clarence walked straight toward me.

Then he held out his hand. "Cassandra, will you choose me as your mate?"

I smiled and placed my hand in his. Cedric cried out in disbelief. I looked over and saw all the color drain from his face.

    I heard that Cedric had started the ritual to break his bond with Elena as soon as he returned that day.Howls of pain echoed through the villa. An Omega who was there later told me what happened.Elena collapsed from the pain and curled up on the floor before passing out.Even Cedric could barely stay on his feet.But none of it moved me. Cedric was the one who had insisted on marking Elena in the first place. Now he was tearing their bond apart and acting as if that could undo everything.Elena had never been the real reason things ended between us.

    A guard came to tell me that Cedric was outside, begging to see me.I knew he regretted everything he'd done.But I needed to end this once and for all."Let him in."Cedric entered the palace. The moment he saw Clarence sitting beside me, his face darkened. "I have something to say to Cassandra. I'd like to speak to her alone."Clarence stood to leave, but I reached out and caught his wrist.I turned back to Cedric and looked at him coldly. "Clarence doesn't need to go. He's my mate now. Besides, there's nothing left between us that I need to hide from him."Cedric's face darkened. "Cassandra, I know I was wrong, but that doesn't mean we have to become strangers."Too late. As far as I was concerned, Cedric and I were already strangers. The fact that we were both wolves was the only thing we had left in common."Cedric, if you don't have anything important to say, please leave."Cedric panicked and hurried toward me.He pulled a map from his pocket. It was the defense plan I'd drawn u

    On the way back to the pack, Elena complained nonstop. "If you ask me, Cassandra's been working with Clarence for a long time! She just wants to steal your throne and make you suffer! Cedric, you can't let them get away with this!"After everything that had happened, the other pack leaders looked at Cedric with open contempt.He knew they were laughing at him.His chest tightened.If he hadn't chosen Elena over Cassandra three days ago, would any of this have happened?All he could think about was Cassandra holding Clarence's hand.Meanwhile, Elena kept whining in his ear. He'd already agreed to keep her as his mistress even though she had no wolf. Yet even that hadn't been enough for her.She'd stormed into his bonding ceremony with Cassandra and demanded that he choose her instead."Shut up!"Elena froze. Cedric had never spoken to her like that before. "Cedric, how can you yell at me? This is all Cassandra's fault. If it weren't for her, we'd already be living in the palace."But Ce

    The moment I finished speaking, Cedric roared in fury. "No. I don't believe you! You met me first. I'm the one who's been by your side all these years. Why would you choose Clarence? How could you possibly love him?"Cedric lunged forward and grabbed my hand.For the first time, he looked at me as if I were the only person in the world.But love that only appeared after he'd lost me meant nothing."Cassandra, wolves are the most loyal creatures in the world. You can't just stop loving someone overnight. You loved me for so many years. Are you really going to throw all that away just like that?"He wouldn't let it go. "You're just jealous. You're angry because I marked Elena. Cassandra, when you've calmed down, you'll realize you've made a mistake. Then you'll come back to me. I'm trying to stop you from doing something you'll regret. That's the only reason I'm against you being with Clarence."His arrogance made me wonder how I'd ever fallen for him.I had always been strong. Even as a

    When Cedric saw Clarence holding my hand, anger flashed across his face. "What are you two doing? Clarence, how dare you touch Cassandra!"Cedric stormed toward us and reached for me.Clarence remained unfazed. He simply stepped between us and gave Cedric a cold smile. "Cedric, I lead a pack too. I have every right to compete with you. Besides, you never completed your bond with Cassandra. That means I'm free to court her."I slipped my arm through Clarence's and looked at Cedric. "Why shouldn't I say yes? I'd be more than happy to have Clarence as my mate."Cedric pointed at Clarence. "He's my brother! Cassandra, you loved me for ten years, and now you want to bond with my brother? Do you know how bad this will look once word gets out?"Without a wolf, Elena couldn't heal as quickly as we could.The bite on her neck was still raw, and Cedric's scent clung to her.I wrinkled my nose. "Cedric, I can't stand your scent! You already bonded with Elena. You have your mate now. You don't get
