Chapter 13
*CASS'S POV*
The two alphas looked at me as if I had lost my mind. I guess I had in a sense. I was losing my cool. I couldn't handle getting this information in public. I turned and walked briskly out of th restaurant.
Great! Just great! Alpha Osirus probably thinks I am complete loose canon. Although, truth be told that's what I felt like. I was pissed. Pissed about everything. Why me? Why did I have to be, THIS? On top of that, I had caused a Historical Event. If I did ever try to join the Were community, what would they think of me? Would they blame me? I don't even know what happened totally, and I blame me. Would they hate me? Would they be scared of me?
After jumping into my Jeep, I raced out of the city as fast as I could, traffic laws be damned. I was itching to run free. I felt like I couldn't get there fast enough. This was the information I had been after for so long, but it wasn't what I thought it would be. Don't ask me what I thought I was

EZRA'S POV It had been a couple days since I pulled up that social media profile. I knew I shouldn't have. There must be some mistake. I was with her that day. I could smell her and sensed nothing but the human she is. It's going to take a lot more than Vivian's dramatic ass to convince me that they don't have it all wrong. Still. Why can't I controll my anger? I rejected her. I feel nothing. It's just shock. It has to be. I'm the most powerful Alpha in this country. This should be easy for me. So why wasn't it? Why? Why now? Why is the moon godess doing this to me? Punishment I suppose for rejecting my mate. Anyone in my position would have done the same thing. ANYONE. So, I refuse to feel guilty. The vibration of the cell phone in my pocket pulled me from my whirlwind of irritating thoughts. The caller ID informed me that it was my father. Good. Maybe he's gone down there with my uncle and discovered that Viv's claims were wrong.

EZRA'S POV Stalker. That's what I was. A fucking stalker. Fuck me. I had to see her ahead of the meeting though. Away from prying eyes. I needed to be able to see if the mate bond still possessed a pull. I hoped to the godess that it didn't. I have too much shit going on right now to deal with this. I watched her get out of her older black jeep. The instant she got out though, she went rigid. She started looking around not so subtly. Holy shit, she could sense me. Dad wasn't kidding. She was fucking powerful. It's nothing to sense someone crossing your own territory border that isn't a member of your pack. It's nothing to sense another wolf in the same room. We were in neither of those situations. I was well over 250 yards away from her and she could sense me! Fucking hell. I ran my hands over my short hair for what was probably the millionth time since I got off th plane last night. Then the breeze shifted. The second my scent hit her nos

CASS'S POV Rejected. I couldn't believe it. I'd gotten so lost in my own thoughts I had almost forgotten that Vivian was sitting across from me. I was snapped back to reality when the waitress brought our food to the table. She had a puzzled look on her face at the absence of Ezra, but didn't say anything. She just placed the food down, smiled and left. Something didn't make sense though. Why did I have those episodes? "Vivian, if I've met my mate. What would be causing me to feel like my body was on fire?" Vivian broke eye contact. She clearly was getting cold feet about whatever she thought the cause was. "Um. The only thing I've ever heard of causing pain like that, is when..." She took a deep breath, "It's when your mate is with another. You know, like intimately." I was speechless. He was with other women. I had been rejected. But when? I didn't even know what I was back when we first met. He must have th

CASS'S POV Ezra ran away leaving me more confused than I had ever been. He didn't want me to accept his rejection. Why? I sat by the creek letting the moon wash over me. I knew Ezra was long gone. I could no longer smell him or sense his aura. I was both grateful and sad. I would need to resolve this sooner than later. A slight breeze picked up blowing a scent that burned my nose. I'd never smelled anything like it. It was sweet, but something about it made bile rise up in my throat. I crouched down looking in the direction of the scent, trying to see something, anything. I could only see darkness and shadows. I finally sensed movement, but from three separate directions. Whatever they were, they were moving fast. I needed to move. I bolted up the hill toward my house. Dodging the trees flawlessly. I had made this run so many times I could probably do it blindfolded. Although, truthfully I had never made it quite this fast.

CASS'S POV King Valarius. THE King Valarius. I somehow wasn't surprised by this at all, but he wasn't what I expected either. I guess I expected a bald, pale, red eyed, toothy figure. Even if he didn't have those things, the evil radiating from this vampire was unmistakable though. I decided the time for silence was over. Using the mindlink that I hoped worked with vampires, I spoke. 'Hello King Valarius. Your visit is somewhat unexpected.' There was a brief look of something similar to surprise that flitted across his face, but it was gone just as quickly as it came. "Interesting. None of the others could get in my head as you just did." He paused seeming to be thinking about something. "I feel as though it would be better if we could speak with each other....verbally. If you don't mind. I mean you no harm tonight." While being in Lycan form was certainly the safest, I felt like it was time to get this

CASS'S POV "ALEX!" I screamed as I closed the distance between us. I dropped down the ground next to his body. I coudn't hear his heartbeat. No. No. No. No. NO! This could not be happening! I didn't need to look up to know that King Valarius and his two henchmen had fled. I couldn't stop myself from checking for a pulse. There wasn't one. My vision began to blur from the waterfall of tears I didn't realize I was crying. Pulling Alex's upper body into my lap I cradled his head. "I'm sorry Alex. I'm so sorry." I sobbed. I felt Ezra's presence before his giant black wolf broke through the tree line. I could hear he had stopped in his tracks but I didn't bother acknowledging him. All I could do is cradle Alex, MY ALEX, and cry. My lies got him killed. I was so selfish to think that I could be what I am and live normally. Alex was innocent. Alex was perfect. Alex was dead. Another wave a of sobs racke

Cass's POV The next few days flew by in a whirlwind of darkness and sadness. I ignored Ezra, and all the other werewolves. I didn't want to think about them or anything to do with that world. I wanted to wallow in guilt and self hatred. Dad was there through all of it with me. He helped make sure I ate, and bathed. He gave me alone time when I needed it. He was just there. The funeral came and went. It was brief as Alex had been cremated. Hugging his family and seeing the devistation in their eyes, knowing it was because of me was one of the hardest moments of my life. There were moments I didn't know if I could handle taking another breath. It was early in the morning. I couldn't sleep. So I decided to watch the sun come up. To be honest, I wasn't watching anything. I was allowing my grief to swollow me whole. I heard the back door open and my father take a few steps onto the back patio. "Enough Cass. No more!" I didn'
The Unchosen Path Chapter 21
Cass's POV The sound of my father's fist connecting with Ezra's face was enough to stun everyone into silence. I didn't move. I'd seen my other mad, and even angry a few times in my life but he was always in control of his emotions. I'd seen him fight before in military tournaments, in training troops, and he never held back when training me. It was then that I noticed his body position. He had put himself slightly between myself and Ezra. This wasn't a man out of control. This was a man defending his child. I couldn't help the warmth that I felt in that moment. Even though instinct told me that my mate had been attacked, my logical side and my emotional side were enough to overpower those feelings. I had been dealing with so much lately on my own that I didn't even know how much I needed my dad until that moment. The isolation was, of course, my own doing. I would have to work on that in the future I decided. Ezra hadn't fallen, but he certainly
