"And you said she is a human?" Kael, my beta, looked at me perplexed and I merely hummed in agreement.
I clenched my fists and went back to attacking the punching bag in front of me.
"Battering the punching bag won't offer you a solution." Kael pointed out and as much as I didn't want to agree with him, I knew he was right.
"It would, however, reduce the urge I have to strangle something or someone." I looked at him pointedly but he merely chuckled.
I flexed my fingers as I paused my assault on the punching bag and tried to calm my raging emotions and ragged breath.
"Why would the moon goddess give me a human as a mate?" I frowned.
"Are you sure you weren't merely attracted to this human?" Kael asked and my wolf growled within me.
"I think I would know what attraction feels like Kael. My wolf yearned to mark this human right on the spot. I have never felt so aware of another person neither had my wolf ever lost control like I almost had when she stood mere inches away from me." I revealed annoyed by Kael's insinuation.
One of my men walked into the gym and bowed.
"What is it?" I gritted out, unable to mask my irritation and frustrations.
"I have the report you asked for Alpha." He replied, snagging my attention.
Without another word I took the file from him and walked into my office, slamming the door shut behind me.
I poured myself a glass of whiskey before I settled in my chair and began skimming through the file.
Cassandra...that was my mate's name.
Such a sweet, meek name was befitting for her but behind that meek, calm exterior I sensed a heat, a fire and an uncontrollable passion behind her eyes, waiting to be explored.
The prophecy claimed my mate would be the one to redeem the werewolf world and lift the curse so how could my mate be a human?
I was at a loss for how to handle the situation as I read through the file containing everything seemed important about my little human mate.
I took a slow sip of my whiskey as an idea formed in my mind.
"Kael." I shouted and within seconds he appeared at my doorway.
"For the next few days you are in charge of the pack. I have a quick errand to run." I informed him and I could see the question swirling in his eyes but he merely nodded and left the room.
"I'm coming Cassandra." I muttered as I looked out the window.

"I must admit I do not understand." Curtis, Cassandra's father stared at me in confusion.
The man was trying to feign ignorance and I smirked.
"Mr. Peterson, this paper clearly shows how many gambling establishments you owe." I pushed the paper with outrageous figures towards him.
He scanned the paper for a moment before his panicked eyes looked at me.
"How did you get this?" He asked.
"So you do not deny it?" I quirked a brow.
"I made some bad decisions on most of those gambling tables but I promised to pay them back." He confessed.
"And how do you intend to do that?" I pushed.
Curtis grappled for words but came up short.
"I have a proposition for you. One which would benefit us both." I began and the man's eyes looked weary.
"I'm listening." He nodded.
"I would pay off all your debts and set you up on an allowance which would afford you to live comfortably." I looked him dead in the eyes.
"In exchange, I want your daughter Cassandra to follow me back to my pack and stay as my mate." I dropped the other shoe and the man's eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets.
"You are insinuating I sell my child Alpha." The man pointed out.
"It wouldn't be selling because she is my mate and with or without you I'll still claim her." I shrugged.
The man contemplated my words for a moment.
"Cassandra is a free spirit, she would never be forced to do anything she doesn't want to." He warned me.
"Leave her to me, all you have to do is sign these documents and I'll do the rest." I pushed the agreement I had drawn up towards him.
He read it's contents carefully.
"You'll pay for all my debts?" He asked again.
"Every last one of them." I assured him and his eyes roamed around my face, searching.
He either seemed to be pleased with whatever he found or he desperately wanted to clear off his debts. Either ways he signed the papers with determination and pushed them back towards me.
"If this wasn't in my favour, I would applaud you on just how easy it was to hand your daughter over to a stranger just for money." I sneered.
What if it weren't me but another man who had made Cassandra's father such an offer and he hadn't refused.
My wolf growled at the thought.
"You may inform her if you wish and I'll make the necessary arrangements to have her join me in my home." I informed her father and he sucked in a sharp breath.
Without another word I strolled out of the man's office, a satisfied smirk on my lips.

The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate Chapter 51
Lyra's POVI stared at the phone until the screen went dark.My hands were still trembling. Not violently, not the way they had trembled when those men dragged me out of the chamber and down to the dungeon. This was quieter than that. A fine, persistent shake that started somewhere deep in my chest and worked its way outward until it reached my fingertips.Kaelen.His name alone was enough to do this to me and that made me angrier than anything else. That he could still reach me here, in a place he had never been, in a house that was not mine, surrounded by three men I had only just met. That his name on a screen could still take the air out of the room and make me feel sixteen years old and foolish all over again.I set the phone face down on the table."I am fine," I said, before any of them could ask.None of them spoke. I appreciated that more than I could say. Vaelin kept his hand on my shoulder, a light and undemanding pressure, and Soren was watching me with the particular quie
The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate Chapter 50
Cassandra's POVThe elders' hall was older than any room I had been in since I arrived here.You could feel it. In the weight of the air and the thickness of the stone and the way the torches on the walls threw shadows that moved like things with intent. The curved table at the front sat five elders and above them, carved into the stone of the arch, were words in a language I had no name for.I stood at the centre of the room.Sebastian stood to my right, slightly behind me. Not beside me. Not in front. Behind, which I understood, after weeks in this world, was the position a wolf takes when they are guarding something.Kael stood at the far side of the room near the door. Easy. Relaxed. Smiling at nothing in particular. I did not look at him longer than once.Claire entered last. She was dressed carefully, which I noticed because everything about Claire was intentional and the effort she had put into this morning was a kind of statement. She looked at me across the hall and the look
The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate Chapter 49
Sebastian's POVRiver found me in the training wing at noon.He did not knock. He never did. He stood in the doorway of the equipment room and watched me wrap my hands for the bag until I acknowledged him, which was the rhythm we had operated on for twelve years.You sent for me, he said.I did.I had done it quietly. A message passed through a junior wolf who answered to me directly and only to me, routed past Kael's sight lines, which took twice the effort it should have and which told me something about how far into the structure this situation had already grown.River was forty-three in human years. He had been my father's wolf before he was mine. He was not political. He did not care about standing or positioning or the social geometry of pack life. What he cared about was the pack's safety and the Alpha's word, in that order, and those two things had always been the same thing until now.I told him what I knew.I watched his face as I spoke. River's face was not expressive at th
The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate Chapter 48
Cassandra's POVLiving in the same house as someone you know is dangerous is a specific kind of awful.It is not the loud kind of fear. It does not announce itself. It sits behind your sternum and runs a low current through every ordinary moment, so that breakfast in the kitchen is breakfast in the kitchen but it is also something else entirely, and walking down a corridor is walking down a corridor but you are aware at all times of every doorway and every shadow and where the exits are.Kael smiled at me at breakfast the morning after the woods.You stayed, he said, with just enough warmth to be perfectly normal.The Alpha asked me to, I said.Of course. He poured his coffee. I am glad. The house suits you.I smiled back. I had practised that smile in the bathroom mirror at six in the morning. Light and neutral and giving nothing away. I was reasonably proud of it.Sebastian had been different since the woods. Not visibly different. Not in ways another person would easily clock. But
The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate Chapter 47
Sebastian's POVShe said his name and everything rearranged itself.Not loudly. Not with drama. She said Sebastian, I have to tell you something about Kael in a voice that was quiet and careful and completely certain, and I looked at her face and I knew before she said another word that whatever came next was going to cost me something I was not prepared to lose.We stayed in the trees. She talked and I listened and I kept my expression still through all of it because that is what I have always done when something has hit me hard enough to flatten me. I go still. I go inward. I present nothing to the outside that can be used.She told me everything. The covered walkway. The storage building door. Kael's voice stripped of its warmth. The other voice she had not recognised. The exact words.When he falls it has to look natural.When she finished she held my gaze and waited. She did not fill the silence with reassurance or apology or any of the softening that people usually reach for whe
The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate Chapter 46
Cassandra's POVI made it to the tree line before my legs stopped working properly.Not physically stopped. They kept moving. But there was something wrong with the way the ground felt under me and the way the air tasted and the way my chest had been doing since I walked past Sebastian in that doorway. It was the same thing that had been sitting in the wrong place since last night when he said I needed to leave and I had watched something almost say itself in his face before it didn't.The pack's driver had taken me as far as the south gate in silence. I had told him I would walk the rest. He had looked uncertain. I had told him again, and he had let me go.There was a path from the south gate through the outer pack lands that led to the road. I had walked it once before, weeks ago, trying to map the grounds in my head the way I always did in new spaces. It was maybe a fifteen minute walk through a stretch of mixed woodland and then open field.I was five minutes into the trees when i

Cassandra’s POVI couldn't believe that I did it. I escaped.I ran through the woods, trying to get to the main express. If I could find someone to hitch a ride with, I would be finally free.After Claire had barged into my room and questioned my looks, she stormed off and I knew just where she wa

Sebastian’s POVThe sound of her voice still lingered in my head, stubborn as hell as she stood on that field with a brace on her leg and children clinging to her like ducklings. And gods help me, she had won. Nothing could compare to the immense joy I felt at that moment when I saw that the childr
