It wasn’t until Cassy spotted a bird, frozen in mid-air, over Alpha Jason’s shoulder that she realised her new bloodline ability had activated again. Immediate heat flushed to her cheeks — another aspect not affected by her slowing down time... Delightful. She had thought they were sharing a moment, but she couldn’t tell when the ability had kicked it. It had felt like an endless moment of intrigue to her, but what if the power had activated immediately? Had he been staring at her too, feeling the same, or had she frozen him in simple moment of eye contact?

Cassy had no way of knowing, and even if she did, what would it matter? Anyone would feel something after being rescued, right? Zac was still the mate she wanted.

With a bit of trial and error, and a touch of willpower, time moved on again. Immediately, she looked away from her Alpha, knowing she’d gone beet-red, though she hoped he chalked it up to adrenaline from the fall. Thankfully, the pain returned to her hands with unapolog

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 68 - Centre of a battlefield

    The sound of Alex’s voice was Goddess sent. After no word from her for days, Cassy had wondered if the King had caught her as she fled Ash Mount. In her darker moment, she had also wondered if her friend had abandoned her in fear of the King. Cassy wouldn’t have blamed her, not after meeting the cruel man, but now shame prickled in her. How could she have doubted her best friend? It was hard to believe she had done as relief flooded her system. ‘You mean she isn’t happy to see us?’ Katie chipped in. ‘After we’ve gone through all this effort to save her?’ Cassy immediately jerked her face directly to the window to hide her mindlink clouded eyes from the King, but they were far enough from Ash Mount that he had stopped casting glances in her direction. She stalled in responding to them, just enough to be able to collect herself enough to not react to their voices. Instead, she just basked in their presence, a connection she had sorely missed over the past few days. ‘I love you guys.

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 67 - Leaving for her fate

    The rest of the day, Cassy felt like a ghost. William offered her an escort to her house to collect her belongings to take to Silver Spear, but the thought of letting that man or his wolves anywhere near her home made her shudder. Instead, she told him she wanted to start afresh. New clothes, new belongings, new life. It seemed to please him, and gained her a few hours alone in Alex’s room to come to terms with what was happening. She cried first, letting the devastation of her mate’s complicity in the King’s claiming of her to spill outside of the composure she had had to hold for the entire lunch. Then, she revolted. She left the room twice, looking for an opening in the three guards William had placed on her, but they didn’t allow an inch of time or space to escape. Between them, the King had placed two larger wolves and a leaner wolf to watch her. It was almost like he was taunting her escape options. There was no way she could fight the stronger looking warriors and the lithe on

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 66 - Missing guests

    Cassy grimaced when she looked in the mirror. Not because of the dark circles under her puffy eyes or the flat side of her hair, that she’d had to peel of the door that morning, but because of the skin-tight red dress she wore. It had been left on her bed while she took a shower to distract herself from the finals of the Luna Trials taking place. It was just past midday, and her stomach was twisting with a nausea that made her want to curl up on the floor again. At that moment, the final round of the Trials was well underway somewhere in the pack, and Sarah and Roan were battling it out to become the next Ash Mount Luna. And Jace’s mate. Whatever conflict was brewing between them, Cassy couldn’t imagine another wolf at his side ruling the pack. The thought made tears prick in her eyes, but they didn’t fall. She had allowed herself to fall apart last night under Jace’s protection. Today she had to face what was coming. Though, she wasn’t sure she could face it. Not only was Jace b

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 65 - Small comfort

    My Queen. My Queen. My Queen. The two words taunted her over and over as she stumbled back to Alex’s room - her temporary prison in the packhouse. The King had spoken after that, going over his plan to introduce her to the Kingdom as a lost wolf of the royal line to explain her royal blood without exposing her mother’s crimes, but Cassy wasn’t listening. Her ears rung with those two words, her body going ice cold. The man she had thought was her father for 25 years wanted to become her mate. Even if she managed to see past the large age gap and the fact he had been abusive to her mother, the thought of how quickly he had gone from seeing her as a daughter to a potential mate sickened her. As she walked, the memory of his touch on her cheek crawled over her skin, making her stomach roll. She clasped at it and dug her nails in, letting pain smother the sensation. She didn’t realise her nails had drawn blood until Jace grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand away. She stopped and frown

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 64 - Free from secrets

    The King made them wait. Jace guided Cassy straight to the Alpha’s office from the prison, keeping to her back and keeping a hand on her arm as if he was sure she’d try and run away. She didn’t mind. His body was a small barrier between her and the procession of Silver Spear wolves that followed them through the packhouse. However, Jace demanded they stayed outside his office, and they agreed, leaving the two of them a moment of privacy as they waited. Cassy tried probing him for more answers, but he was even more closed off than he had been at the prison. Even when she thought he was worried about the warriors overhearing them, and she wrote her questions on a bit of paper, he didn’t answer. They made his eyes flare wide and he grabbed the paper and slipped it on a high shelf before covering it with books. Then he settled next to his desk, folded his arms and refused to look her way. She felt stuck. She couldn’t leave the office with the Silver Spear wolves outside and she couldn’

  • The Luna Trials   Chapter 63 - Left out

    Cassy stiffened at the voice behind her. Not because of who it belonged to but because she hadn’t sensed another wolf coming. Even a full trained warrior like Jace would be heard when he got close enough. Even with the lightest footsteps in the Kingdom, he couldn't mask his scent nor his breathing, and yet it took him speaking directly behind her for Cassy to notice. Too much of her concentration was being used to keep her altered appearance in place. It stole her attention from her surroundings, making her an easy target. Though she still trusted Jace deep within her, his recent behaviour couldn’t help but make her wonder if he was targeting her too. However, with the Silver Spear guard watching them, she was cornered into behaving as any Ash Mount wolf would. She stepped to the side and allowed Jace to walk past her and approach the guard. She dipped her head in deference to her Alpha but was quick to pin her gaze back on the guard when he had passed. Jace didn’t spare her a glance
