Cassian's POV.

A YEAR AGO

"Father has given us another task to handle. He wants us to go sign a treaty with two of our neighboring pack who are trying to avoid a war with us. I personally would've preferred some blood for my hungry wolf, but I guess this is the right thing to do. He wants us to handle both of them tomorrow, so I think it'll save us a lot of time if we attend to the packs separately. He's decided that the benefit of the treaty is forty percent of their land alongside 100 million dollars each... Cassian? Cassian!!"

I jerked up out of my head and straightened myself as I looked up at him. "I was listening to you. Just tell me that last part,” I said as a counter defence against him asking me to tell me the last part.

"You and I know you were anywhere but here. What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing", I simply said and turned my phone down on the table.

"What are you hiding?"

"Are we going to war or not? I'm ready to kill someone."

  • My step-brothers; My mate   A day to mourn

    Cassian's POV.I was in the midst of controlled chaos, but I couldn't care whatever the hell was going on beside me.My eyes were lost on my reflection against the mirror and I couldn't understand what had become of me.I'd steered away from marriage because it knew that it was risky marrying someone that my heart and my wolf didn't choose. And here I was staring at myself, getting ready to be bonded to someone I knew I had no feelings for, even if I wanted to deceive myself.... I became conscious for a second, making sure that I didn't say that out loud...My father was still in the hospital, but this was a decree that he'd already put out - that I was going to get married to Shantel no matter what. I thought she would postpone the marriage due to her father's death so I could have some time to myself, but I was mistaken.To insist that you have your wedding before you bury your father is something I'd never heard of in my life, and it screamed nothing but desperation.It wasn't qui

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Gossips

    Freya's POVThe rumors were becoming increasingly rampant, to the point where I couldn't ignore it."The princess is a murderer...""She's also a witch, because there's no other logical reason as to why she doesn't want the prince to get married...""If Alpha Theo had known, he would never have married her mother...""I hear he's on the verge of death too..."I didn't know where they got their news from, and I knew that that most of pack members had a specialty in gossip, so I didn't bother to let the news to me.At first.People began looking at me weird and started pointing fingers of accomplice when I enter the central market yesterday evening."Is that not her friend?""It's indeed she. What if she's a part of the screw job?""What if? It's without saying that she is! A girl from a very humble background whose mother is working tooth and nail to make ends meet, and you think she's not a part of it?""I'm sure she has a hand in the murder. You know how poor people are driven by gre

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Do you love me?

    Cassian's POV.I saw the anger in her eyes fade into thin air, growing pale at my revelation.She stared at me like she'd seen a ghost. "Wh... What did you say?""Calm down, Shan-"A chilling wind surged through the open window and her feeble legs gave in, causing her to lose her balance and stagger. I had to rush to catch her to stop her from falling to the ground."Th... This cannot be happening", she muttered in a shaky, breathless tone. "Shantel you need to calm down. I know it's a lot, but you need to breathe-""A lot?"She pivoted and faced me with red, teary eyes that were filled with hurt and anger. "A lot? My father dying is "a lot" to you?""You know I didn't mean it like that-""That was exactly how you meant it!", She pushed me away as far away from her as possible even though she found it hard to stand on her own. "My father was life! The only family member I have, and the one person who loved me genuinely!! And you think it's a lot?!! You think I should calm down?", She

  • My step-brothers; My mate   What is more traumatizing?

    Cassian's POV.The whole room went silent immediately he made that stupid move."Answer my fucking question!! Do you think he's going to save you?!! You killed our boss, and you're calling the so-called prince to come to your aid, acting like I don't exist?!! Are you mad?!!", He boiled with rage, his veins threatening to burst out through his veins as he yelled.I stood there, contemplating my next move. I could feel my fingers twitching, and I did nothing to stop the trigger. My throat began patched immediately, and water wasn't going to quench this sudden thirst in me.Surely, this bastard did not just lay his hands on Celeste.My Celeste...He told me he was going to ask a few questions. Now there was a change of plans?By the time Celeste raised her head from the attack, the right side of her face was red and swollen. I could see tears of pain flow down her eyes as she fixated her pleading gaze on me."Cassian, your opinions matter the most to me. Do you think I did it? Do you-"T

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Interrogation

    Cassian's POV"What's the update? Are they alive?"I heard Lucian heave a sigh to make me expect the worse case scenario."Father is still alive. He's barely surviving, however. The doctors are doing their best to take the poison out of his system, but they're having a hard time doing that without unsettling his already fragile system. They're making progress though. Last I checked, he was out of the woods."I didn't like my father much, but the thought of him dying such a tragic death scared the fuck out of me. So the information he relayed to me was a doze of relief."And how about Shantel's father?"The silence that over the phone made me unsettled."Lucian. I need an answer.""He died an hour ago."And just like that, the sense of relief I had was snatched from me. How the hell was I going to relate this news to Shantel?How tattered was the reputation of Silvermist pack that a man as influential as Perseus came to have breakfast, and he ended up dying from poison?"Make sure tha

  • My step-brothers; My mate   False Accusations

    Celeste's POV.The whole room went pindrop silent and eyes began searching where that absurd allegations came from.I swerved to follow the eyes of everyone and I couldn't help but step back at the shocking sight of Shantel coming out of the kitchen - scarred and sliced at different places on her body.My wolf immediately sensed something wasn't good. I didn't know what the hell she was up to, but it wasn't good."What did you just say?""It's Celeste!", She cried even louder with tears of pain flowing down her eyes. "She was the one who did this to our fathers!"I was too astonished to even speak for myself.Cassian sized her up for a very brief moment before turning to one of his trusted men. "Call another ambulance and ask them to come with a therapist. While you're at that, bring in the spiritual-""Cassian!!", Shantel yelled in rage and frustration. "So you don't believe me?!! You think I'm crazy?!! Your so-called loving stepsister was the perpetrator of this murder attempt!! She

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Who is he meant for?

    Celeste's POV.I could feel my breath begin to shorten, and I was more terrorized at how unfazed Shantel was, with the sudden chaos that was happening behind that door."Wh... What did you do Shantel?""You have no idea who I am, right?""Who the... Who the fuck are you?""I'm the last person you should've messed with. You should've picked another fight, Celeste.""Cassian isn't meant to be with you, you witch!", I tried to find the same strength I had last night, but I couldn't find it."And who is he meant for? You?"I almost choked on my spit with the sudden question. "Wh... What? Are you insane? Cassian's my-""Stepbrother, I know. At least that's what it's meant to look like. But I know love when I see it...""You're being delusional, Shantel. And your father's dying outside for goodness sake!!""He looks at you the same way he looked at me when he loved me. He's always trying to prove something to you. He treats you the same exact way he did when we were together. I almost concl

  • My step-brothers; My mate   The king is dying

    Celeste POV.Fuck!I shouldn't have been that loud!I just couldn't help it. I hated Shantel, but the the venom in her voice when she swore to kill me sent chills down my spine.She was still standing fixed to the ground, but I saw her head pivot all the way to the back, her cold eyes meeting mine immediately."Who's that?!"I immediately turned and hid the behind the door before she would make out who I was.This wouldn't do.I heard footsteps approaching, and without thinking twice, and dashed from the behind the door and raced to my room, looking the door behind me and panting heavily like a rabid dog."Shouldn't you be sleeping by now-""Ahh!!!", I shrieked and almost jumped out of my skin from that voice behind.I turned and I immediately froze to the ground."This..."This couldn't be true.I had to be hallucinating.That was the only logical situation for the horror that my eyes were witnessing right now.My chest began palpitating again. The cold wind that came in from the ope

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Determined

    Celeste's POV"HOOOONNNKKKK"Both our eyes widened in shock.The car was ready and we were nowhere near ready to leave."We're still naked", he muttered in shock and astonishment, his chest heaving in an up and down manner from the fun that w just had."We need to get ready immediately!!", I panicked and began rushing the bath process."You could've just given me the towel and left", he muttered under as he washed himself like he didn't say anything.I sent him a grimace immediately. "You're the reason we're late. Don't you dare pin this on me!!", I warned him.I was done in less than a minute and made to leave, but I felt him grab me from behind. "Tell me you didn't enjoy it", his baritone voice echoed throughout the room and made my knees weak."Lucian, we're late already. We'll miss the plane if we don't-"He pinned me to the wall and closed the distance between us, his warm breath making my nipples shiver.He made me look into his eyes, and I could swear I felt liquid drip down my
