The Alpha's Love FOURTEEN
Cassa's POV "Fine, you need to explain this," Evalyn muttered, walking away."You wait here until I sort it out," he said before closing the door. I heard his footsteps receding.I gripped the windowsill, feeling my strength waver, supporting myself to prevent myself from collapsing to the floor. I closed my eyes, trying to process what had just happened. The thought of Julius's sister tearing me apart sent shivers down my spine. Could it be true? And seeing the anger in her face made her words seem all the more real. What on earth had happened? It was as if I couldn't believe the situation I was facing, and I was now caught in the fury of his sister.I had been waiting for an hour, growing increasingly anxious about the conversation between the siblings. Were they arguing? Or something worse? I fidgeted in my seat, my impatience growing as I stared out the window. My mind wandered, contemplating the possibilities of what might be happening between them.My hand drummed on the surfac
The Alpha's Love FIFTEEN
Julius POVIt was not a typical day for me, and it had been five years since I last saw him, sitting across the table on the first day of August. The weather was pleasant, with the warm morning sun casting its golden rays upon us. People chattered around, their voices blending into a symphony of background noise as they passed by the café's outdoor seating area.I clutched my cup and took a sip of coffee, wondering why he wanted to talk to me. Allious only sought me out when he needed something or when he found himself in trouble. "What a surprise!" I began, breaking the silence that had settled between us.Allious looked at me over his cup, a smile playing at the corners of his lips before he placed it back on the table. His cognac eyes sparkled with amusement, and I couldn't quite decipher the reason behind his reaction or the mischievous glint in his gaze."You never change, the same Julius Montalvo I know," Allious muttered, leaning forward with his arms resting on the table. "Wha
The Alpha's Love SIXTEEN
Julius POVBut Allious wasn't convinced. He leaned back in his seat and explained, "Keeping her in your own home will ruin her reputation once it slips from anyone's mouth. Just because you trust your werewolf being, does that mean betrayal is unlikely to happen."His words struck a chord within me. He was right, but there was a vow I had taken, a secret I couldn't share with Allious. I knew he would lecture me if he knew the truth.I knew Kyle wouldn't do anything unless she was kept under his control, as long as she stayed by my side."I know, and of course, he won't do anything unless I let my guard down," I replied, my voice filled with determination.But Allious wasn't satisfied. He continued to study me, his delicate eyebrows furrowing as he tried to uncover the truth. "You are hiding something, Liu," he said, his gaze piercing. "That's what I'm trying to figure out here. The consequences it might bear in the long run."I remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal the vow I had t
The Alpha's Love SEVENTEEN
Cassa's POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror, a smile playing on my lips as my eyes sparkled with anticipation. I was wearing a pale green blouse, paired with black jeans, and my hair was elegantly styled in a chignon.As I looked at myself, I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. This was the kind of clothing I preferred, the kind I didn't get to wear when I was at his house. I had requested these clothes two days ago, ensuring that it wouldn't raise any suspicions from my grandfather. I had always refrained from wearing dresses or skirts, never owning one unless it was required. Even as a child, the exception was when my mother would dress me up in beautiful outfits. But as I turned fifteen, my taste changed.My grandparents had always indulged me, giving me whatever I liked. I was spoiled in many ways, but that wasn't the reason I couldn't make myself independent. I admitted that I didn't feel close to them, despite their overwhelming love. There were things I disli
The Alpha's Love EIGHTEEN
Cassa's POV"Seriously?" I raised my voice slightly, my hand clutching the handle of my bag tightly at my side."I'm not kidding," Julius replied, grinning, sitting in the library chair with a closed book in his hand. I stood in front of him, my frustration evident."You agreed to the deal. Why do you want to know why I look sad, troubled, or mischievous? Come on, what are you trying to get into?" I teased, trying to sound reasonable.Julius glanced at the historical book he had brought from the bookstore before we came to the library. I followed his gaze, my eyes landing on the cover—a woman's back facing the viewer, surrounded by soldiers. I scanned the bookshelves, realizing that most of the books were fiction, possibly historical ones.He raised his eyes to meet mine, the smile still lingering on his face. "I'm curious, that's all. You've helped me greatly on behalf of my cousin, and maybe I can help you with whatever it is."Help me with it? I stared at him for a few seconds, sig
The Alpha's Love NINETEEN
Cassa's POVIt was a fine day, yet my heart felt heavy. I was glad it was Wednesday, a day when I could rest and sleep all day, but I ended up staring at the ceiling, lost in my thoughts.I shouldn't have let my mind wander, but it felt like a bomb had exploded inside my head. Promises I needed to break, reasons I had to find.A knock on my door interrupted my drowning thoughts."We need to talk," his baritone voice said.I didn't feel like talking that day, and the previous day had been exhausting with my behavior. I was fine. With a heavy, dramatic sigh, I mustered up the energy to get off my bed and looked at myself in the mirror, combing my hair and tying it up in a ponytail.Opening the door, I forced a smile onto my lips. "What do we need to talk about?" My eyes scanned his outfit for the day, a gray suit and tie, as if he had just come from and returned to work.Then I remembered the trial of his cousin."How did it go?" I asked, noticing the unreadiness in his expression. "Did
The Alpha's Love ONE
Cassa's POVThe ache stabbing through my side jolted me awake, and I groaned, my hand instinctively seeking the source of the pain. Every movement sent searing waves of agony rippling through me, and a feverish heat consumed my body.Struggling to open my eyes, I squinted at the unfamiliar room. Where was I? My head pounded as if a hammer relentlessly hammered against it. Closing my eyes again, the memory of the red-eyed wolf and its silver fur streak flashed in my mind. Had they taken me?My brows furrowed, remembering that the mayor in town had saved me before the ravising werwolf killed me.But where was I?Forcing my eyes open once more, I took in the gray walls, the glass window draped with lilac curtains, and the expensive-looking furniture filling the space. The soothing scent of lavender hung in the air, calming me as I lay upon a plush mattress covered by a soft purple comforter.Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself upright, the pain in my side a constant reminder of my predica
The Alpha's Love TWO
Cassa's POVThree weeks had passed, and I was slowly recovering. In just three days, I'd be able to walk without these damn crutches. Sabrina had been incredibly attentive, constantly by my side, offering words of encouragement even when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But despite her efforts, the monotony of being confined to this room was driving me insane. Staring out of the window, unable to move freely, it felt like a prison.I had met Doctor Adam, expecting some old geezer, but to my surprise, he was a good-looking man just a few years older than me. Every week, he'd visit, checking up on my progress and occasionally mentioning my grandfather, Daniel Sullivan. Apparently, my grandfather was one of the investors of the hospital where Adam worked, and Doctor Adam couldn't sing his praises enough. Not that I cared much; I barely knew my grandparents, having left their strict household to pursue my dreams in Los Angeles after secondary."How are you feeling, Ali?"
