Cassian's POV.

"I remember when we used to have these moments when we were together. It felt like time stopped, but it also felt like that time flew by so quickly. Those were the best moments of my life."

I was confused by Shantel's words considering the fact that she was the one who left me, but she was not my problem tonight.

The proposal I just witnessed doubled the weight of my heart.

It was one thing for that bastard to ask her to be his wife before me, but was Celeste so dense to accept the proposal of someone she just met three days ago?

Over me?

I had waves of different emotions flooding my system, but I was confused, most of all.

Celeste was a lot of things, but she was not dumb. Even though she hated me with everything in her, she was stupid to accept Ryan's proposal.

"I remember when you used to be so romantic. You would wake me up with breakfast in bed after a very hot session the night before. We'd have the longest baths and giggle all day long in each other's arms. You'd

  • My step-brothers; My mate   Flashback

    Freya's POVFIVE HOURS AGOAs I sat drenched in the chilling darkness, I replayed the voice recording of the call for the seventeenth time, staring at the phone as my eyes perked in disbelief.This couldn't be...I couldn't believe this...I remember hearing bits of the conversation, but I didn't know the full details of the confrontation was this scary. She planned to kill Cassian alongside every single person in the royal family just for her to take over the pack and the whole wolf realm? How deep had her greed for power and tyranny eaten into her that she was more than ready to do anything just to get to the top, even if it meant ending the life of important people?I couldn't let this go. This was more than enough evidence to save Celeste from death.The logical part of me made it glaringly clear that there was no way I would be able to get even the first line of royal security. It would be for me to get past the gate, especially with Shantel on the hunt for me to make sure she

  • 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
