Cassie Jones POV

I didn’t expect to be surrounded by a bunch of rogue wolves, I carefully shifted backwards trying to make a run without them knowing.

My wolf was badly wounded last week after fighting with the last set of rogue wolves so attempting to fight with this group would be a death sentence.

I turned around sharply running as fast as I could but I was already starved for a long time and didn’t have the strength. I stepped on a tree twig making me trip and fall, twisting my ankle.

I winced out in pain, my wolf was numb, it wasn’t responding to me so I couldn’t shift. I looked up and met with a pair of two red eyes staring at me, it was ready to pounce and devour me.

As I closed my eyes in anticipation, I didn’t feel anything and opened it back to see two big black wolves fighting with it.

The rogue wolf dropped dead and the two wolves shifted back into their human form. I was stunned, staring at them.

One has short dark hair with a strand that fell towards his eyes making him look seductive with his blue eyes plum lips.

The other with long dark hair, he packed half up and left the rest down and his eyes were deep green.

I couldn’t take my eyes off them and didn’t realize I was drooling over them.

“Are you done drooling?” The first asked, I looked down in embarrassment but soon stared back at them.

“Sorry, my bad.” I cleared my throat.

“Thanks for saving me.” I said softly as I tried to stand up, I balanced myself barely standing as my twisted ankle hurt but they seemed to care less about it.

“Do you know how to get to the Greyer pack?” The other guy asked, ignoring my words just now. He was unusually cold and didn't look homecoming.

“Yea, just… hold on a sec.” I took out the map with me, that was the only thing I was able to keep with me after all the ruffles.

I showed them the description to the pack and after a while, they got it right. Just as I bade them goodbye and was about turning back.

I felt the same electric pull from earlier come back, this time stronger as a strawberry scent smells in my nose, I closed my eyes loving the scent.

My wolf, Gina, who has been quiet for a long time, woke up. I could feel the joy in her as she proclaimed, “They are ours.” I looked up to the two wolf men in shock.

They seemed to have felt the pull as they came closer, each fanning over me looking like they’ll mark me immediately.

“She’s the one, Mark.” The first guy said again to the second guy that I assumed to be Mark, he sniffed in my scent.

I felt myself dripping wet just from their scent. Shit! I need to control myself. I almost had another night stand with two strangers I barely knew.

I drew back from them with all my strength and after realizing what was happening, they also calmed themselves down.

“It isn’t possible.” We all said at the same time, I raised my brow at them confused at their words, they both walked a bit far away from me.

I noticed my ankle had healed up, “Nice showing up after finding our mate.” I said in my mind.

I didn’t want to believe it was possible I could find another mate after getting rejected by Jamie. And this fast, even more ridiculous to be mated to two guys.

They both walked back to me, “We were thinking, if you had nowhere to go, would you like to follow us back to our pack.” The first guy said.

“You guys are alphas?” I was surprised, I originally thought maybe their wolves were just big but I couldn’t have thought they might be alphas.

“Yes. Alphas of Emerald pack.” My jaw dropped in shock. At first I fell into silence.

Being their mate; if I follow them back to their pack, they would possibly crown me as their Luna and I could carry out my revenge on Jamie for betraying me.

It wasn’t such a bad idea to follow them back to their pack. “We aren’t going to force you.”

“You are our mate, we accept your bond, and you are ours now. Following us is ensuring you have the life you are supposed to have.” The second guy, Mark said.

“I’m Lark, and he’s Mark, we are the twin alphas of the Emerald pack.” Thinking down at their pack name, it felt familiar to me.

Yes, I remember. A strong and powerful pack led by two mysterious twin alpha, everyone fears them and if you have them as an ally then your pack would be one of the strongest packs.

“Of course I’ll be delighted to follow you both, I’m Cassie. Cassie Jones.” I greeted them cheerfully.

“Grab your belongings so we can be one our way now.” Mark replied back yet again ignoring my words and he walked ahead.

Since I had nothing to take, I just followed behind him with Lark who was walking slowly to meet up with my pace.

“Thanks.” I smiled at him.

“You are welcome.”

“You know Mark isn’t always all cold or acting tough like he does but he’s soft. He just needed someone to control his emotions.”

I think I saw that already, maybe he wasn’t as bad as I’m viewing him.

“Maybe you are right, time will tell that.”

*****

It’s been a while we’ve been walking and now I can feel the presence of wolves, like we are now in another pack territory.

Finally I am out of the forest. Just as we got to the border, the bodyguards there bowed for the two to enter but when they saw me. They hesitated.

“Let her in.” Lark said. They bowed and cleared the way for me.

Gossips were flowing as we walked deeper into the pack as each person we passed by were whispering.

“Am I sure it’s okay or I’m just the one feeling insecure right now.” I thought.

There were some people who had the look of disgust due to my rough appearance, I felt uncomfortable seeing how they were staring at me.

As if they noticed my inconvenience, Lark stopped while Mark howled a bit. Thus called the attention of everyone in the pack.

I noticed we were already at the middle of the pack square, their statue was there stating their positions.

I noticed everyone was staring at me like I had done something, I stared up at Lark and noticed they just said something which made the people stare at me.

“Everyone should treat her well and care for her like she is a member of our pack which she already is.”

I wasn’t expecting them to go this far so immediately we entered the pack which made me smile gently.

“For she’ll be your next Luna.” Mark said, breaking the silence as everywhere erupted with noises and cheers.

The ones staring at me with the look of disgust had already been replaced with joys. “She’s our mate, and anyone who disrespect her or insult her stand would be beheaded. It’s a crime punished by law.” I gasped.

I gently whispered to Lark, “Wouldn’t that be too much?” I said, nodding his head negatively.

“No way.”

“You can’t just make her Luna.” I heard a voice from behind. It was a displeasure from the person.

Everyone gasped, I turned back to look at the person who said that and my eyes widened in shock.

How come she is here? Daisy?

    Cassie's POVThree weeks laterThe morning Lark beat Mark in the sparring yard was the morning I knew everything was going to be okay.It had been three weeks since Alexa turned to ash in our courtyard. Three weeks, the pack slowly finding its footing again. Three weeks of Lark eating properly and sleeping properly and waking up without that carefully measured way he used to move, like he was calculating how much energy each step would cost him.I was sitting in the covered viewing area overlooking the yard when it happened. Two guards stood at either side of me. Below, a small crowd of warriors had gathered along the edges of the yard the way they always did when the Alphas trained. Nobody announced it. The word just spread the way it always did and people showed up.Mark and Lark were at the center of it all.They'd been going at it for about twenty minutes. Back and forth, neither of them giving much away. Mark was faster. He always had been. But Lark was reading him, antici

    Cassie's POVSmoke engulfed the entire courtyard and palace as a whole.It was choking with a pungent smell.Guards stumbled. Some went down on their knees coughing. Others swung blindly at nothing.Alot of guards had fallen unconscious after inhaling a lot of it.“What in heaven is this?” Quickly Mark tossed a face mask towards my direction. I wore it quickly and built a wall of protection around the courtyard so the smoke doesn't cause more harm.Then she walked through it.Alexa.Like the smoke was hers. Like she'd made it specifically so she could walk through it looking like that. Unhurried. Dressed simply. The crescent moon mark visible at her throat, catching what little light the smoke hadn't swallowed yet.She stopped in the middle of the courtyard and looked around slowly.Then she smiled."Did you miss me?"The twins broke through the protection wall and lunged toward her as well as the courtyard full of blinded guards.Alexa didn't even look at them.She was looking at me

    Cassie's POVWe got back just before noon.The pack house was moving through its usual midday noise when we rode through the gates. I had the root wrapped carefully inside my jacket the whole ride back, one hand pressed against it every time the horse moved too fast over rough ground. Mark had noticed but didn't say a word either. The ride was quiet.Lark was sitting up in bed when we walked in. He looked at the root in my hands and then at my face and whatever he saw there made him sit up straighter."Is it good?" he asked."Yeah," I said.Mark pulled up a chair and sat down while I went straight to the preparation.This time I took my time with it. No rushing. No telling myself that the damage was close enough to a whole. I had what I needed, and I was going to use it properly.Lark watched me work without talking. Mark was quieter than usual too.The three of us just existed in that room together for a little while, and it felt okay. Heavy but okay.When everything was ready,

    Cassie's POVI prepared the root that same evening.I didn't tell Lark how little I had to work with. I just set everything up the way Berta had described to Mark.Lark was sitting up in bed watching me move around the room. Mark was by the window. Neither of them was talking, which was fine because I didn't need conversation right now. All I needed were quiet and steady hands and about three times more root than I actually had."You don't have to look so serious," Lark teased.Quite a humor for a sick patient."I'm concentrating," I retorted.“Your facial expression reads more of worry than concentration,” he adjusted his sitting posture.I didn't respond to his last statement. I finished the preparation and brought everything to the bed and sat beside him and looked at him for a moment before I started.He looked better than he had a week ago. His melanin was coming back slowly. He was eating properly again. The shaking in his hands had reduced him to something almost manageabl

    Cassie's POVJoelle was on her knees before I even reached the courtyard.I heard the commotion from the corridor and came out to find her there in the dirt, head bowed, hands pressed flat on the ground in front of her like she was trying to make herself as small as possible. Petra was standing beside her looking pale. The two guards who'd ridden with them were off to the side and neither of them was meeting my eyes.That alone told me everything."Get up Joelle," I said.She didn't move. She just started talking to the ground."I'm sorry, Luna. I'm so sorry, I tried. I really tried, but the ground was frozen solid, and we couldn't get the root out cleanly, and I thought I had it but when I pulled—" her voice broke, "—it snapped. Right at the base. I didn't mean to, I swear I followed everything you said, but my hands slipped and—""Joelle." My voice came out sharper than I meant it to. "Get up."She got up slowly. Her face was red and wet and her hands were still shaking. She was ma

    Cassie's POVI was mixing Lark's morning treatment when the door opened and Mark walked in.He looked like someone who'd been riding hard and hadn't slept. His jacket was dusty, and his hair was pushed back in the way it got when he'd been running his hands through it repeatedly, which he only did when something was sitting heavy on him.Lark looked up from the bed. "Where have you been?"Mark pulled up a chair and sat down and looked at both of us. "Vale Pack."The spoon in my hand stopped moving.Does he know about the letter?"I went alone," he said before either of us could respond. "Before you say anything. I know. But I needed to find something, and I wasn't going to find it sitting here watching Sorin's face every morning."Lark's jaw tightened. "Mark—"Oh, it isn't about that, he went to find help for Lark."There's a healer," Mark said. "Her name is Berta. She's old. She trained with Sorin back then, and she knows things he doesn't." He looked at me directly. "She said it's n

    “Ouch," Lucas screamed into consciousness.His wrists were in sharp pain, the rope burning against his skin. The stone pressed against his cheek, cold and damp, while water billowed like a clock would appear in the absence of light. Lucas tried to sit up, but his ankles were tightly tied, causin
