LOGIN[ Dominic ]“Dustin, seal all the entry and exit points at the pack. Do not let anyone leave without proper investigation but make sure that no one will suspect, am I clear?”“Yes, Alpha.” Dustin bowed.I rubbed my forehead. We were standing at the unguarded borders of our pack. The area had dense forests and uneven deep cliffs which was a dangerous landscape for anyone to cross. We had less security there because our own wolves might get injured.Our patrolling team saw movements in the deep valley, they were rogues. Their scent was traced in the mutated animal carcasses.“Do you think that it could be Lucian’s move?” Dustin broke the silence.I snapped my head in his direction.“What made you think so?” I narrowed my eyes.“It’s just a wild guess. Lucian has been silent for a while. He’s nowhere to be seen. His rogues have gone low profile. As far as we know him, he’s not someone who’d sit quietly. Perhaps he’s up to something vicious and we are just underestimating him, Alpha.”Dus
[ Cassandra ]“I think you’re my second chance mate, Rebecca.”Dominic said and brushed his lips against my forehead. The intimacy sent a tremor down my body. I was shocked to hear him saying it.A second chance mate when his fated mate was still alive and he hadn’t rejected her yet!“Alpha, this is impossible. Ms. Croft is your fated mate.” I said creating some distance between us.“Yes, she’s my fated mate but Knox never allowed me to mark her. I never felt the love that I am supposed to have for her. I agree, once I cared for her deeply when we were very young but it never transformed in love. She’s here because I promised to find a cure for her.”“You sound selfish, Alpha. A month ago, you were grieving the death of your wife.” I said.I didn’t know why I was falling for him all over again. He was still fighting with his complexed and undefined feelings. I wanted him to be certain.“I liked Cassandra. She was a person I respected. She had outdone herself. Maybe it was my bad luck
[ Dominic ]The guests started arriving since late morning. They were coming from different packs. I didn’t want to celebrate my birthday extravagantly but Amelia had already convinced my family and they made it a big celebration.In my own party, I felt restless, my eyes kept shifting to the main door of the packhouse. Cassius was coming to my pack for the first time. Dustin had security guards at every corner. The packhouse looked more like a fortress.I only wanted to gain Dr. Miller’s trust. Her worries were justifiable. Amelia and my mother had threatened her before. They’d see Cassius as a bigger threat.Standing in a corner of my grandmother’s room, I watched the cute interaction between my grandmother and Cassius. I had never seen her this happy before. The shine in her old eyes, her radiant smile, it showed how Cassius could lighten up someone’s day.“Luna, my Mom is a famous and busy doctor. Her patients only want to be treated by her. She’s a hero.” Cassius praised his moth
[ Cassandra ]“Wow! I have seen this kind of forests and mountains in movies, Mom. Mr. Dominic’s pack is in the middle of the forest?” Cassius, who kept asking me questions throughout our three hours of ride, asked me another question.“You can say that but they don’t live in the forest. It’s a modern town.” I told him.“Cass, we’re almost there. Please, sit down. You’ll have plenty of time there to explore the surroundings.” Ellie said who was sitting with us on the backseat.“Aunt Ellie, I never saw a werewolf pack before. I am just excited.” Cassius said and sat back but his eyes were full of wonder.I covered him properly and adjusted his cap.“Please, stay around us, Cass. If you need anything, only ask us, okay.” I reminded him for the millionth time.“I remember, Mom. Please, don’t worry.” He laughed but I knew the illusive world of Dominic Woodford and the people around him.I tried to ignore the knots in my stomach but as the pack was getting closer and closer, I couldn’t hel
[ Cassandra ]“It will look good on Alpha’s wrists, Cassie. You have an exquisite taste when it comes to pick gifts for someone. These cufflinks are lovely. I wanted to buy these for Roman but I guess you should take it.” Ellie said.We were hunting a gift for Dominic. We were invited to his birthday. Ellie and Roman were also going. They already picked a gift for Dominic, a gold engraved pen, it was very expensive.“I always picked his cufflinks for him. He once said I had better taste than him.” I said remembering the old times. A smile appeared on my lips.“You’re smiling, Cassie?” Oh, my god! What am I missing?” She teased me.“It’s nothing, you’re overreacting or misreading everything.” I said pushing her out of the shop.“I am not misreading anything. Girl, I know you better than you know yourself. I never saw this look on your face before.” Ellie poked my elbow.“Let’s go and grab some food before we go back to the hospital. Remember, today is your first unofficial visit to the
[ Dominic ]“Milo, you actually named the puppy Milo.” I smiled sliding through the pictures that Cassius sent me with his new puppy.He looked very happy to have his own pet. My fingers stopped on the last photo where the puppy was in Dr. Miller’s lap. She was patting its head. The smile on her face, how her short hairs blocking her perfect features.She wanted me to play a father for Cassius. I was still confused why she had asked me to play a father figure for him all of a sudden when she strictly told me to stay away from them a while ago?Anyways, I was happy. I wouldn’t need to make excuses to meet Cassius and see her. I had already instructed Dustin to select the best warriors and security for Cassius who’d protect him during my birthday celebration.A knock on the door forced me to lock my phone screen and straightened my position because I knew who was on the other side of the door.“Come in.” I used my alpha tone.The door opened and my mother along with Amelia entered the r
[ Cassandra ]Amelia was pretty, virtuous and more importantly the most powerful alpha’s fated mate. She was loved by all while I was a mere shadow.Dominic loved her unconditionally and so passionately that they were called the ideal couple, the one made for each other until the tragedy happened.
[ Cassandra ]“Luna, you’re two weeks pregnant!”My mind went numb, eyes unable to believe what my doctor showed me on the monitor screen. A small life was forming inside me.My baby.Mine and Dominic’s child, the heir to NightShade Pack.“Is..is it true?” I asked her again to confirm, my eyes were
[ Cassandra ]Four years later…The fresh and humid air carrying the earthy scent inside my calmed my throbbing brain cells. My fingers wrapped around the coffee mug. I read the reports and they didn’t look promising.I had been doing my research on this unidentified illness among werewolves for thr
[ Dominic ]I felt an uneasy feeling settling in my chest. My wolf, Rex, was anxious, pacing and howling around in my mind.I snapped at Cassandra when she called me. She wanted to tell me something but I said harsh words to her in my anger. Amelia had been crying and I couldn’t see her state after
