Cassa’s POV

I closed my eyes tightly, biting the inside of my cheek, tasting the ironic tang of my blood. A week had passed, and I hadn't seen him since that day.

I remembered how the light in his gray eyes dimmed, turning dark, his expression stern and pinched as he looked at me. Desire had evaporated, replaced by a coldness I could feel in that moment. I moved away from him, avoiding his gaze, trying to compose myself. Heavy footsteps reverberated as he stormed out and slammed the door hard. I winced.

He was angry at my rejection of what we had almost done, but why did it sting me? It should have brought relief. Breathing in the cold morning air, hands gripping the window sill, I stared out at the vast garden of Montalvo Manor. I had been here once before when I was very young, memories vague, my gaze settling on the rose section of the garden where I had been yesterday with Erish.

Erish, the third daughter of the Montalvo family, and we were the same age. At first, I thought she

    Cassa's POVI stroked his smooth white fur, marveling at how soft it felt under my fingers. His silver-gray eyes bored into me, and he stood about two feet away—close enough that I could reach out and touch him without moving. He was so much larger than an ordinary wolf, and as my hand caressed his head, I felt a thrill of wonder.“Your fur’s color is like winter, Julius. How does it feel, shifting like this? Is it painful in the bone?” I asked, unable to stop my fingers from gently opening his mouth. “Sharp as a canine tooth!” I exclaimed.He growled, low and rumbling, then moved away from me. The next moment, he shifted back, standing before me in

    Julius POV“Nothing,” I said, my voice stern, eyes locked on the road.“Nothing? You look like someone punched you with how annoyed you look. Is something bothering you?” Her voice softened, concern lacing her words. She placed the camera on her lap and leaned closer, whispering, “Pack problem?”“Nothing,” I repeated, trying to steady my tone, keep it calm.“Nothing… okay,” she muttered, leaning back against the seat.The silence between us thickened, but every glance at her enthusiasm only deepened my scowl. We were getting near the plaza when I made my

  • The Alpha's Love   FORTY ONE

    Julius’ POVI froze, staring skeptically at her as her words reverberated in my mind.I am curious what you look like in wolf form. May you show me, please?Her voice was pleading, and she was sitting right next to me in the car. I had accompanied her to the city to buy that camera, and she’d agreed through my persuasion. I kept my eyes on the road, hands steady on the wheel. We’d been traveling back to town for about half an hour now—only trees and the sides of the road in my view.“I am serious and curious,” she added, clutching her new camera like it was a treasure. Then she raised it, capturing something outside, testing it.

    Cassa’s POV“Why 20, Papa?” I couldn’t help asking.“I don’t know, Cass. Your mother didn’t say. But you know her—she was full of surprises.” Papa smiled, and for once it wasn’t pained—just sad.“You’re right, Papa. Mama was.” Always the past. Never my mother in the present.I opened the box, using the cutter to slice through the tape. Papa left me alone then—he had a call he needed to take.When I lifted the lid, I found a photo album. Your 20’s collection of pictures you have taken, Cassa, my daughter. Love, Mama.

    Cassa's POVI followed the trail of blood, leading me to the window where there was even more of it. I sucked in my breath, wonder and uneasiness twisting inside me as I stared down at the edge of the window, noticing how clean it looked.“What are you doing here?”My heart skipped a beat at the sound of Papa’s deep voice behind me. What unsettled me more was the question of how I hadn’t heard him come in.I turned around, and there he was, standing in the doorway. His brows were pulled together, those intense deep brown eyes fixed on me.“Papa! What happened here? Why is there blood?&rdquo

    Cassa's POVThen, his arm tightened around me, resting at my back, pulling me close. My eyes flew open and I tilted my head up, meeting his gaze—he was watching me like he was still lost in some trance.“Morning,” he said with a smile that sent my heart into a frenzy, drawing a soft smile to my lips too.“Morning to you too,” I muttered, my cheeks burning as I tried to scoot away—but he pulled me back, one leg wrapping around my waist. I gasped when he kissed me again. My lips responded on their own, tasting him, like something addictive, something I couldn’t resist.He muddled my mind all over again, melting me under his touch, until at la
