Cassie's POV

I'd told myself it wouldn't feel like anything.

It was just a place with buildings and trees.

A pack land like any other. I'd lived in dozens of places since I left. I'd built something real somewhere else. I was a Luna now, not the girl who used to walk these paths with her head down hoping somebody would notice her.

Now, even without saying a word, my presence always gets noticed.

“It's just a ride, take it like a vacation outside your pack,” I told myself as I sat on the chariot

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 95

    Cassie's POVI didn't sleep well that night.Vale Pack gave us quarters in the east wing. Clean rooms, good beds, everything a visiting Luna and her Alphas were entitled to. The staff assigned to us was quiet and careful not to look at me too long.A young lowly omega. Our room was guarded by two guards, plus the ones that followed us from our pack.Their hospitality was amicable.I lay on my back in the dark staring at the ceiling.The ring was out there somewhere in this pack. I could feel it the way you feel a storm coming before the clouds arrive. Lark's voice came quietly from beside me. "You're thinking aloud.""Ohh, I'm sorry.""Don't be." He paused and then sat erect. "What is it?"I breathe out."The curse feels too alive," I said. "Too fresh. Someone is still feeding it from somewhere inside this pack,” I turned to look at him in the dark. “Which curse?” He looked utterly confused.He wasn't a healer , so he was oblivious of what I was talking about, as well as everyone

    Cassie's PovThe room was dim.Heavy curtains pulled almost all the lights across the windows, leaving just a thin blade of light cutting through the gap. It took my eyes a moment to adjust.The beta was standing near the wall. His physique is quite big but with a quiet face.He has a kind of steady presence you put near a sick Alpha because the pack needs to see someone keeping it together.Daisy was sitting on a stool beside the bed.She saw me the moment I walked in. Something moved across her face, complicated and fast, there and gone before I could name it all. She stood up slowly.I didn't look at her long enough to give it meaning. I looked past her.Then glanced at Jamie. He was propped against the pillows, his eyes open, looking at the doorway. My presence made him look towards me.I don't have a clean word for it.He looked like someone had taken Jamie and turned the brightness down. Everything was still there, the face I used to know, the broad shoulders, the jaw I'd onc

They were the same. That was the first thing that hit me. Everything exactly where I'd left it, like the place had just been sitting here waiting, unchanged, while I went off and became someone else entirely.My horse slowed without me telling it to.Lark pulled up beside me on my left. Mark on my right. Neither of them said anything. They didn't need to. Through the bond I fe

    Cassie's POVElla was awake by midday.Not fully. She drifted in and out, her eyes opening for a few minutes at a time before sleep pulled her back under. But by the time the afternoon light was coming through her window at that low slanted angle, she was sitting up against her pillows and asking for water.I was there when she did.I'd come back to check on her after the meeting with the elders. I needed somewhere quiet to put myself and Ella's room was as good a place as any. I'd pulled the chair close and just sat, not thinking about much, letting my mind rest for once.When her eyes opened and stayed open, I leaned forward."Hey," I said.She blinked at me slowly. Like someone trying to remember how the world worked. "Luna,”"I'm here."I poured water from the jug beside the bed and held it out. She took it with both hands, the way someone does when they don't fully trust their grip yet.“Thank you very much for all you do,” She appreciated. Her voice had a tone of sincerity in

    Cassie's POVThey arrived before breakfast.I heard the commotion from our chambers before I even saw them. Voices carrying down the hall, Jonas speaking in that careful measured tone he used when he was trying to manage something delicate.I was still pulling my hair back when Lark appeared in the doorway."You have visitors," he said.Something in his voice made me stop. "Who?""The Vale Pack elders. There are about three of them." He paused. "With gifts."I stood very still for a moment.Vale Pack.My pack. The one I'd grown up in, trained in, believed in. The one I'd slipped away from in the dark like something ashamed of itself.I hadn't heard that name out loud in a long time. It sat strange in my ears. Like hearing a song you used to love before something ruined it for you."Where are they?" I asked."The receiving hall. Jonas put them there. He didn't know where else to put them."I looked at myself in the mirror for exactly two seconds. Then I straightened my shoulders and

    Cassie's POVThey carried Ella to her room after.She was breathing on her own. Sorin said that was the most important thing right now. I sat beside her bed for a while, just watching her chest rise and fall. I needed to see it happen a few more times before I could relax.My hand felt strange. The one I'd pressed to her chest during the ritual. It wasn't painful. More like that numb, heavy feeling you get after holding ice for too long.Sorin noticed when he came back to check on Ella. He took my hand without asking and turned it over slowly."It'll pass in a day or two," he said."What is it?""Recoil." He set my hand down gently. "When a tether breaks that hard, the energy has to go somewhere. Some of it came back through you.""And Alexa?" I asked. “What happened to her at her end?”He paused and exhaled heavily."Much worse," he said. He was quiet for a moment, like he was choosing his words carefully. "When someone is forced out of a tether that deep, it doesn't just sting.

    Cassie's Pov"What do you need from me?" I whispered."Honesty," Lark said without missing a beat. "Full-on, even when it sucks.""Partnership," Mark chimed in. "The real kind, not you calling shots and us tagging along.""And if I can't do that?"The quiet dragged on, loaded with what-ifs we didn'

    Cassie's PovThe quiet in my chambers was choking me. I stood by the window, staring out at dawn, but all I could picture was Lark's face. That look of disappointment, raw betrayal.“You played games with our lives.”His words kept ringing in my ears, like some kind of endless curse. I pressed my

    Cassie's Pov“Did you miss me?” She smiled as she moved further.Death would have been happy to look that good. I kept my face a stone, even though my heart was trying to punch its way out of my chest. Same Alexa, beautiful, terrible."My Luna" Her voice slid across the silent room, filled with sa

  • Rejected But Elevated    Chapter 84

    The air in the Vale archives was thick and still, heavy with the scent of crumbling parchment and cold stone. Daisy pressed herself into the shadows of the wall, the rough-hewn rock biting into her back. She held her breath, counting the slow, fading footsteps of the patrol. One heartbeat. Two.
