MasukCassien's POV
“You let her leave?!” I barked at Riven, who sat in his seat like there was nothing wrong with his decision.“She was stubborn about it. I couldn't do anything to stop her,” he said, shrugging.“That is a death sentence!” I said.I didn't think I cared about Kaelen so much. Yes, she was fascinating. Her scent was enough to drive me insane, but I kept it at that.I had it in mind that neither of us wanted to bCassien's POV “You let her leave?!” I barked at Riven, who sat in his seat like there was nothing wrong with his decision.“She was stubborn about it. I couldn't do anything to stop her,” he said, shrugging.“That is a death sentence!” I said.I didn't think I cared about Kaelen so much. Yes, she was fascinating. Her scent was enough to drive me insane, but I kept it at that.I had it in mind that neither of us wanted to be mated with our own reasons, but after returning from a trip to find her gone was enough to tell me those reasons were not strong enough.“You now care about her?” he asked.“Did I never?” I asked, taking a seat.“This is a first. You never get riled up. I can see the worry on your face. That never happens.” He stretched forward, eyes narrowed as he stared at me.“And I can't see the worry on yours,” I pointed out.He leaned
Chapter 34Kaelen's POV I snapped my eyes open, eyes darting around and then to the water around me. “Asher?” I called out, but no one answered.I wasn't sure if I was hearing things or not. I got out of the spring, grabbing my dress and putting it on, eyes still on the water.Nothing out of the ordinary has happened since I stepped out, but I had a feeling someone was in there. I shook my head before I lost my mind.“I must be overthinking,” I muttered to myself, heading back.“George?” I spotted him a distance away. “What are you doing here?”“I couldn't leave you on your own, General. I stayed here all this while,” he said.It was easy to hear me scream from here, but I doubted he could have seen anything, so I let it slide. We returned to the mansion, and I found it easy to fall asleep.Days later and it was time for the soldiers to be sent to different stati
Kaelen's POVThat hit to my chest and then my back slamming to the ground was enough to snap air out of my mouth and my wolf. I transformed before I could blink, but that wasn't enough.I tilted my head to the side, trying to avoid every attempt to have my head between his teeth. Riven grabbed him by the neck, pulling him off me.Unfortunately, it snapped a head, biting into Riven's arm, which was enough to have him free. Still in my wolf form, I lunged at the rogue, biting into his forearm.He was big —bigger than any normal wolf should be. I tried to sever his forearm, but it was different. For a failed experiment, he had strong bones.Everyone joined in, but we quickly pulled away when we felt his skin coming together around our teeth. I tried again, and he kicked me several metres away.Riven rushed to my side, back in my human form. “Are you okay?” he asked.A soldier passed him his shirt, which he draped around
Kaelen's POVI realized too late that the one I clung to, seeking comfort, was the very Alpha who hated me. I couldn't even think.Not because of the injury that I had gotten but my slut of a wolf, who purred in need of some touch, and it didn't help that Ashton's body heat engulfed me.Fortunately, I didn't do much to lose all the dignity I held, but it at least dropped it by a lot.However, whatever medicine the doctor gave to me was enough to calm her down. But my injury healed slower than I wanted it to.“Didn’t you say I was healing fine now?” I asked Lenal who joined us days later.I had been stuck in bed, unable to train or move for fear of making it worse. “You stayed in your wolf form for too long,” he said simply.“I thought I could. I felt fine.”“Just because you felt fine doesn't mean you are fine,” he retorted.“So what do you think I should do?&rd
Ashton’s POVI didn’t have the time to think. These rogues were heading for the palace. I lunged at each of them, killing them with just a single move.Fortunately, they were just rogues and weren’t failed experiments, so they were easy to kill.With an opening, I ran off deeper into the woods, but then a scent geared me in another direction.Sweet and luscious.I didn’t want to.I had other priorities, but it was hard controlling my wolf when he’s this frantic about whoever that was.When I got closer, I met the most beautiful wolf I had set my eyes on.Her fur was a mix of brown with white at the tip of every hair. The moon resting on them made them glow in the most enchanting way.And then eyes, which were a lighter shade of her fur, caught sight of me behind the bushes in no time. But then I didn’t have time to admire her .Rogues were around us, and one just happened to be
Kaelen’s POVIn heat?I hadn’t felt that in years. I felt it once before finding out I was mated to Merrick. After that, it never happened. I never thought about it because I believed it wasn’t something to be worried about.“It must be because of the medicine. Your wolf is slowly healing,” Hazel said, clapping with excitement.Yes, it’s healing. I’ve been feeling better, but did she really have to go into heat? How was I supposed to calm it down?“Should I get the Alpha Kings or the Alpha Asher?” Hazel asked.I shook my head. “No,” I managed to say.“Why? They are your mates and they can help,” Hazel said.“Mates?” George asked, mouth agape.“No, just go. I can handle myself,” I told her.“But-”“Do not argue with me, Hazel,” I told her, my voice stern.They were my mates, ye
