Cassandra's pov

I stared at the domineering sky scraper in front of me. Who the hell had a skyscraper as a pack house? Everything about the Lycans screamed money and they never wasted an opportunity to flaunt it.

"Welcome to your new home." The Lycan announced as he stood beside me. When it was glaringly obvious I had no where to run to, I had conceded but I knew it wasn't over and I would find my way out of the pack house no matter what.

I quietly followed behind the Lycan, ignoring the stares I was receiving as we walked. They stared at me as though I was an anomaly and in their world I guess I was. They were bo doubt wondering what a filthy little human was doing with one of their own.

"Alpha." A man whose face was pinched into a frown bowed as he addressed the Lycan.

Alpha?

My heart dropped as I recognized the title. It explained why this man's aura was so commanding and oozed of power. Was this a sick Joke? How would the alpha of the Lycans think I was his mate? Me, a human!

"Kael." The Lycan retorted.

"Is this her?" The man asked as he stared at me with an observant gaze. They had spoken about me?

"I'll show her to her room, you can wait for me in my office." The Lycan announced, ignoring the other man's question.

"Is this who?" A soft feminine voice asked and I turned to a beautiful sophisticated woman who had a small smile plastered on her face.

"Who is this Seb?" The woman asked as she assessed me with cold eyes. She had a softness to her but also a cold, calculating aura.

"No one you need to worry about Claire." The Lycan, Seb, retorted and the woman's eyes turned to slits.

"Why would you bring a human to the pack house? What would everyone think?" Her eyes darted back to me before she returned to the man who growled beside me.

"What I do is not to be questioned Claire, I'm the alpha and you had better remember your place," his voice held venom as he spoke.

"But I'm to be your Luna and that means I have a right to know things Seb," the woman announced defiantly and I stilled. If she was to be his Luna that meant they would most likely mate...where would that leave me? What would happen to me?

"I don't have time for this." Seb gritted out as he harshly gripped my arm and steered me away from the woman.

"Your hurting me." I called out to him as his hand squeezed my arm tightly. At my announcement he immediately let go of me and I gently massaged my sore arm with my fingers.

We stepped into the elevator and I pressed myself against the back of the metal as I tried to get as far away from this Lycan as I possibly could.

He stared at me for a second just before the elevator pinged and the doors slid open.

As I followed behind him I heard him nutter something about humans and how weak they were but I ignored it.

"Your room is directly next to mine." He announced as he held open a door to me. I slowly walked into the room and gasped at it's sheer magnificence. Everything about it was perfect and I couldn't help but wonder if I was in a dream.

"That is a conjoining door which will take you straight into my room-" he pointed to a door at the corner of the room.

"For now you are not to leave this room without me, you aren't allowed to wander aimlessly in the pack house unless I am at your side. If you need anything inform me and I'll have it delivered to you." The man announced and anger surged through me.

"Do you understand?" He quirked a brow at me when I remained silent.

"Just because I didn't put up a fight and I came here with you doesn't mean I'm your little prisoner who you can keep locked away forever." I gritted out but the man's countenance remained the same as he regarded me, save for a twitch of his lips.

"You look smart and I know you have already figured out I'm the Alpha king of the Lycans. You should also know that I am bound to have enemies, enemies who are waiting for the slightest hint of a weakness to use against me." The man stalked towards me as I backed away till I hit a wall. A low flame lit within me as I comprehended his words...he saw me as a liability, a weakness. What I couldn't understand though was why he hasn't just let me be, why did he have to drag me into his world?

"Finding my mate, a human at that, places you in great danger. No one needs to know right now that you are my mate, I'm already having a hard time figuring out what excuse I'll give for bringing a human to the pack house. I don't know what I'll do with you yet but for now, you stay in this room and talk to no one," he announced as he trapped me between himself and the wall.

My heart beat rapidly in my chest as I noticed his eyes flashing.

"Then why did you bring me here?" I croaked, ignoring the tears prickling the back of my eyes.

"My wolf needs you." He announced as he strolled away from me and towards the door.

"So what am I meant to do in here?" I called out to him as I hugged myself but h ignored me and gripped the door handle.

"I don't even know your name." I called out desperately.

The man paused for a second before he turned to me.

"Sebastian." He informed me with a nod before he left the room. A sob racked through me as I heard the soft nick indicating he had locked me in the room and my heart dropped.

Was this what my life would be like for the rest of my days?

    Sebastian's POV"She is in the training yard," River said, from the doorway of my study where he had appeared without knocking, which was his established pattern and which I had stopped commenting on years ago."I know," I said. "I can feel it through the bond.""She has been out there with Cael for two hours," he said."I know that too," I said.River came fully into the room and stood across the desk from me with the expression he used when he had something to say that was not strictly his business and he was going to say it anyway. "She is pushing the ability further than she has before," he said. "I watched for a few minutes. Cael is running her through something new, combinations I do not have a reference point for.""She told me last night," I said. "Her mother shared something about the original form's development and Cael adapted the training." I set down the border report I had been reading. "She is not in danger.""I know," River said. "That is not what I am saying."I looke

  • The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate   Chapter 89

    Cassandra's POV"You are smiling," my mother said, appearing in the doorway of the library where I had been reading for the past hour with a cup of tea and the specific quiet satisfaction of someone whose morning had gone better than expected."I smile," I said."Not like that," she said. She came in and sat across from me and looked at me with her eyes that were shaped like mine and an expression that was both maternal and deeply amused. "What happened?""Nothing specific," I said."Cassandra," she said.I put the book down. "Sebastian and I are doing well," I said. "Specifically and consistently well. That is what you are reading."She looked at me for a moment. "You love him," she said."I have told him so," I said. "Plainly.""And?" she said."He said he loves me and intends to spend considerable time showing rather than telling," I said. "He has been following through on that with some thoroughness." I picked the book back up. "That is all you are getting."She made the sound tha

  • The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate   Chapter 88

    Sebastian's POV"She is already gone," River said, appearing in the study doorway before I had finished standing up from the desk where Cassandra had just finished telling me everything she had pieced together from the messages. "Her rooms are clear. She left sometime in the night."I looked at him. "How did she leave without being seen?""The private entrance at the south boundary," he said. "The same one Sera used when she arrived." He paused. "She has clearly had knowledge of this house's structure for some time."Of course she had. Fifty years of network. Decades of contacts and access and the specific knowledge of a woman who made it her business to know everything about every significant pack structure in the eastern territories. I looked at Cassandra across the desk and she was already composing her expression into something focused, which was what she did when she moved from understanding something to acting on it."She is not running," Cassandra said. "She left before she cou

  • The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate   Chapter 87

    Cassandra's POV"I am going to open them now," I said to my reflection in the bathroom mirror at seven in the morning, two days after the ridge, because the day had ended and then another day had ended and the messages had stayed unread and I had run out of good reasons to keep them that way.My mother had said wait until you are ready. Cael had said information withheld is rarely better withheld. Sebastian had said he would sit with me. I had not yet told Sebastian this was the morning, which meant I either went and found him now or I opened them alone, and I stood in the bathroom and looked at my own face and decided that alone was not the right answer today.I found him in the kitchen, which was where he was most mornings before the day made demands of him, and he looked up when I came in and read my face immediately."Today," he said. Not a question."Today," I said.He stood up from the table without hesitation and filled a second mug with tea and set it across from his own and s

  • The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate   Chapter 86

    Sebastian's POV"You are going to have to teach me eventually," she said from her position on the blanket where she had been lying on her back with her eyes closed for the past half hour while the afternoon light came across the ridge. "How to do the Alpha thing."I looked at her. "What Alpha thing.""The room thing," she said, without opening her eyes. "Where you walk in and everything reorganises around you without you doing anything visible. I watched you do it at the summit and I have been trying to work out the mechanism." She opened one eye. "Is it intentional?""Partially," I said."Teach me the intentional part," she said."You already do it," I said.She opened both eyes and looked at me. "I do not do the room thing," she said."You walked into the summit hall and twenty Alpha wolves recalibrated," I said. "What do you think that was?"She considered that with the genuine consideration she gave everything. "That was the Aethar," she said. "They could feel the bloodline.""Som

  • The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate   Chapter 85

    Cassandra's POV"This is not a day," I said, looking at the picnic that had been laid out on the ridge where we had stood together the first time I had seen the full territory below, with the morning light coming through the clouds and the wind moving through the long grass. "A blanket and food does not constitute a structured day off.""It constitutes the beginning of one," Sebastian said from behind me, where he was setting something down that Mira had apparently packed without telling me, which meant Mira had been in on this, which meant I was the only person in the house who had not known what today looked like. "Sit down.""I am looking at the view," I said."You have seen the view," he said. "Sit down."I turned and sat down on the blanket because the alternative was continuing to stand and pretend I was not extraordinarily pleased by this, which would have been unconvincing anyway since the mate bond was carrying it clearly. Sebastian sat beside me and opened the basket Mira ha
