Cassie’s POV “Cassie! You looked…different.” Lucia gazed up at me wide-eyed. She was staring at me from head to toe and wearing a mixture of shock and astonishment on her face. A few days ago, I came here with a broken heart and a shattered soul. But today, I came back beaming with hope and confidence. I couldn’t blame Lucia for reacting this way. She bore witness to probably one of the lowest points in my life. She also sent me to the secret room underneath this bar and probably expected me to come out of it dead. But here I am, walking confidently in her front. “Hello, Lucia.” It must have been too overwhelming for her to see me at my best a few days after that ordeal. Even I was a bit surprised by the turn of events. Just a few days after I gave up my ability to conceive, I was back to my old self. I flipped my wavy, blonde hair flaunting my white, sexy, bodycon dress. The slightly-squared collar was highlighting the form of my perfect breasts. Indeed, I never felt this beauti
Ironheart’s POVThe Ironheart Wolf was a legendary bounty hunter. He was known throughout the continent for hunting down werewolves. From rogues to criminals, you name it! During the Ironheart’s prime, he was able to hunt down every single werewolf that was assigned to him to be found. And the best part, he didn’t ask for any fee. So one may ask about the things that he got from doing an incentive-free job. Well, the answer was easy. Hunting makes him happy. The thrill and adrenaline rush he felt every time he ran after his prey was euphoric for him. The satisfaction he was getting from completing a mission was beyond comprehensible that even a big sum of money could not buy it. But his happy days ended when he was called to rule his father’s pack as his only heir. And that was the biggest mistake he ever did in his life. And that fool was me. “I don’t know who that fuck he is. Try asking another wolf,” I uttered to the man without even looking at him. I started dusting off the dir
Loki's POV The sound of my boots echoed through the forest trail I was following now. I never thought that I would come back to this type of feeling years after I accepted my father’s appointment. Everything feels…surreal. All circumstances were different now. Before, I was hunting people for fun and satisfaction. But now, I am hunting a very special female wolf for ten bars of gold. The realization put a bitter taste in my mouth. Never in a million years, did I imagine myself hunting down some werewolves for money. That was never my thing. But my fate led me to it. Cassie Williams was my ticket to getting my life back. From a distance, I saw a bar sign. Royal Cave Club, it said. My mouth formed a faint smile as I gazed at the dancing lights surrounding it. It looked very alluring, especially to wanderers like me. I scanned the outside of the bar the moment the place was revealed to my eyes. The bar looked fancy but not also held a welcoming vibe. The place was both rustic and c
Aria’s POVSuddenly, I heard a knock. My mom and Luna Sheila might have forgotten something. I inched towards the door and did not hesitate to open it. But my smile soon disappeared from my face when I saw the person standing outside the door. And her visit was quite unexpected.“C-Cassie,” I whispered. I could only utter her name as I didn’t know how to react. “Hi, Aria,” she said softly. We exchanged awkward glances towards each other. We couldn’t blame each other. Our relationship with each other was nothing but pure awkwardness. To be honest, I didn’t know where all these hatreds had begun. I just woke up one day with Cassie making my life a bit more difficult than it already was. We started to go to school, she would let me get bullied by other kids for being the “weak” sister. A lot of people were expecting me to deliver the same exceptional results as her and when I didn’t, they would hate me for it. As my big sister, I expected her to stand up for me or at least attempt to
Adrian’s POVEverything was set. The venue was ready. Since the pack house was not equipped with glamorous outdoor illumination, the string of lights hanging on some make-shift lamp posts made it look like tiny stars that went down to the ground to give us some lights. The team who took care of the reception made a good job taking full advantage of the natural splendor surrounding us. The sans tablecloths, the bare wood, and the vases of lush eucalyptus perfectly blend with the scenery, practically growing from Moon Valley itself. Potted flowerless plants mimic the shrubbery of the packhouse yard, making them stunning centerpieces for the tables. The chairs were already aligned. Lanterns and flowers were everywhere. But above all, my favorite thing about this whole wedding aesthetic was the ceremony backdrop. It was nothing but a curtain sheen drapery hanging on the pack’s oldest tree but it posts a certain significance. Because every single male in our family married under this ol
Aria’s POVI wake up with waves of nausea flooding my senses. My brain felt it would swell beyond what my skull could handle, making me hold my temples and frown. My stomach gurgled as my mouth held an acidic aftertaste. I raised my heavy eyelids halfway only to make them shut once again after trying. I tried raising them again, this time with all my might, and I succeeded. That was when I realized that I was on the floor. I wonder how long I had been lying in here. I scanned myself. My makeup was still intact. My hair, on the other hand, was now changed into a messy bun. But what puzzled me was the dress I was now wearing. My body was now wearing a pink, midi, floral Nikita dress while on my feet was a pair of boots. My forehead creased. I hate wearing boots. So what am I doing with one? I got up in a sitting position and tried to remember what had happened before I got to this point. At first, I didn’t know where to start recalling the events. But after a couple of tries, I final
Adrian’s POVMy gentle appearance immediately changed when I looked at Cassie. She was now trashing the wedding decorations the omegas had labored tirelessly over the last few days. The nerve of her to come here and do that!Her insanity needs to stop!“That’s enough, Cassie!Hearing my voice, Cassie looked in my direction. Her face was a picture and confusion and distraught. She took a couple of steps forward while looking at me as if I didn’t make sense at all.“What did you just call me? Did you just call me Cassie?”“And what should I suppose to call
Aria’s POV"You are no longer allowed to set foot on this pack. I, Adrian Patterson, the alpha of Moon Valley, am now banishing Cassie Williams from this pack. She is now considered a rouge and will be living on her own from now on!"The declaration sent chills down my spine. Looking at Adrian, he looked like he was about to kill me. The very thought of him loathing me to the core was making me shiver.I crawled toward him, no longer thinking about how I would look in front of all these people. While I already lived as a rogue for a couple of years, my life was different from this circumstance. I didn’t have Aurora back then. I was only watching after myself. “Don’t do this to me, Adrian. Please, you are making a big mistake. I am Aria. I am the real Aria!.” I begged desperately throwing all my shame away. I couldn’t be banished from the pack. My daughter needs me. I kneeled while hugging his legs, hoping that he could sense the truth in my voice, But he remained indifferent. Worst,
