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?

    The sword flew past Cassie’s face with a whoosh of heat and steel. It slammed into the Red Claw soldier creeping up behind her, the traitor she hadn’t sensed. The blade struck deep into his chest, throwing him backward with a sickening crunch against the blackened wall. Cassie blinked, stunned. For a second, she thought the sword had been meant for her. But then Lark appeared from the smoke, boots crunching over gravel and ash. He didn’t speak at first. He just reached into the inner lining of his cloak and pulled out a bloodstained scroll. Her name was on it. Cassie’s breath caught in her throat as Lark held it out to her. The wax seal was cracked, both Greyer and Red Claw crests fused on the parchment like a mockery of loyalty. One broken crown. One burning moon. Mark stepped up beside his brother, face grave. “We weren’t sure you’d believe us,” he said softly. “But you need to see it for yourself.” Cassie took the scroll, her gloved fingers trembling. She unrolled i

    Sparks lit the sky before the war had done so.A fierce howling of wind moved through the Red Claw pack, heavy with the smell of metal, magic, and smoke.Red flags snapped angrily in the wind, tied up in their own rage as though they could smell blood on the horizon.Torchlight blazed along the ramparts of stone, casting dancing gold upon the blackened stone. The air was thick, not only with heat, but with fear.Red Claw guards crept, wedging chains into heavy iron gates, sharpening blades of obsidian, and anchoring wards across the perimeter.Wolves padded down halls in man and beast form, eyes aglow, ears attuned to the first whisper of invasion.Tallest of them all, Cassie stood on the highest balcony of the war tower, gazing out at the far mountains where Greyer's earth gave way to unknown. Her armor glowed dark red, edged with blue-silver from volcanic cores smoldering like freshly burning flame.Her family crest, a phoenix from ashes scarred upon her chest.The wind pulled on he

    Cassie "You shouldn’t have come alone." The voice came from nowhere. It wasn’t loud, but it crawled through the air like smoke. I stopped. The crypt was quiet, the kind of quiet that presses on your chest. Stone walls circled me, marked with strange symbols that pulsed faintly, like they were breathing. Moonlight slipped through the cracks above, spilling down in slivers. But the warmth here wasn’t from the moon. It was from something older. I took a step forward, heart pounding. “Who’s there?” I asked. I noticed the flames flickered from the altar in the center. They grew higher. And then—she appeared. A tall figure stepped from the shadows, cloaked in black. Her face was sharp, eyes glowing like coals, and she moved like she wasn’t really walking—just floating. “You carry my name,” she said. “But not my truth.” Cassara. The name hit like thunder in my chest. I couldn’t speak. She touched the altar, and suddenly the flames changed. They twisted into shapes images. I

    CassieSmoke curled from the eastern tower, but it wasn’t fire, at least not yet. Just the scent of iron and oil, soldiers sharpening blades, war drums echoing in practice rather than in blood.Greyer was preparing.And I was expected to lead.As Luna, they looked to me for strength. As the girl who might belong to another pack, they looked to me with questions.I stood before the training ground, eyes tracing every wolf in uniform. Mark stood to my left, Lark to my right, but I felt more alone than ever. The sun cut through gray clouds, illuminating the scarlet sigil on my chest—the Luna crest that no longer felt like mine.“Say something, Cassie.”Mark’s voice cut through the tension, low and tight like a blade on the verge of snapping.I didn’t answer him. I couldn’t.Because what was I supposed to say?That I was terrified? That every breath I took felt like a betrayal of myself, of them, of whatever bloodline had dared to mark me?Instead, I stared past him, then past the trainin

    Cassie I thought the garden was supposed to soothe me. Not until I discovered that there was a war brewing in the borders. The Red Claw banner rising on our border was just a bluff. I should’ve known better, fire doesn’t knock. It burns its way in. Mark's voice hadn't even started to subside yet. Lark wouldn't even meet my eyes. And Kael, he didn't move an inch, as if he'd heard something the rest of us hadn't. I was still catching my breath when the Red Claw messenger emerged out of the boundary mist, pulling the banner behind him like a sword. Sunlight hit his silver-threaded cloak just right, casting the Red Claw crest into the dirt like a challenge. He wasn’t loud. His presence was louder enough than any voice could be. The weight of the wolves at his back, the way the air shifted when he stepped forward,it said everything before he opened his mouth. “I’m here for the daughter of fire,” he said, voice low and formal. “The lost Alpha of Red Claw. Cassie.” My name stu

    Cassie The gates of Greyer Pack didn’t swing open in welcome, they groaned like they were warning me not to return.I used to walk through these gates like I belonged. Today, they opened like they’d forgotten me.No guards smiled. No wolves bowed. No flowers tossed in honor of their returning Luna. Just cold wind, cold eyes, and colder silence.As if they were aware I didn't belong here or perhaps they knew the truth too. But deep down, it was just my imagination. I was finding it hard to absorb the truth I just learnt.Kael rode beside me, straight-backed, tense. His presence burned like a brand on my skin, and not just because Mark and Lark hated him. No, it was because I hadn’t yet figured out what he truly meant to me. Friend? Guide? Ghost from the past? Or perhaps a real lover?All I knew was this: he didn’t flinch. Not from the stares. Not from the tension. Not even when the twin Alphas appeared.Mark descended the front steps like a storm in motion, his dark eyes locked on min
